I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

However, the real reason Jiang Xingze and the others didn’t give Zheng He an autograph is:
Zheng He is either being scammed or on his way to scamming others. If he used their autographs for illegal activities, or if scammers used their autographs for illegal activities, the negative impact on them would be more than trivial.
As public figures in the entertainment industry, they definitely need to be cautious!
But Zheng He just felt that it was Chen Xixi making trouble!
They wouldn’t give him an autograph, so how could he make money now?
What if… he forged the stars’ autographs himself and sold those, wouldn’t that solve the problem!
Thinking this, Zheng He felt he was really brilliant… ptooey, ptooey, ptooey… can’t be brilliant!
In life, you absolutely can’t be without hair!
But would selling forged autographs get him into the police station again?
Now he realized that every decision he made seemed to land him in the police station again, and this time Zheng He really didn’t want to go back. He grew smarter, looking up on his phone whether forging celebrity autographs was illegal, and the result was — it’s considered fraud.
He gave up hope.
It’s not that he didn’t want to win, but the law restricted his performance.
Why does every idea he has turn out to be illegal?
Could it be that the law was tailored specifically for him?!
Sigh…
…
At nine in the evening, when the challenge reality show was almost done recording, the staff brought out the fruits and cakes to return to the Guests.
Guan Yingying, looking at the pile of fruit baskets that had once resembled small hills and now had been flattened by the passage of time, couldn’t help but joke at the directors half-seriously, “The amount of fruit is wrong, did the production team eat some behind our backs?”
The head director quickly explained, “We didn’t touch them. It was like this after Zheng He went to the police station and came back!”
Zheng He grinned, “I thought the officers worked so hard, so I shared some with them.”
If he had known they wouldn’t give him an autograph, he should have eaten all the fruit when he returned, leaving none for them!
Facing Zheng He’s shameless accusations, the Hai City police officially stated: “It’s not that we’re not tired but distressed; a black pot from the sky has us bending with back pain.”
[Nothing else to say, I’m on the side of the police uncles this time!]
[Zheng He really has the nerve to say that. Is it because Jiang Xingze and the others don’t have their phones right now, unable to go online?]
[I’ve personally witnessed Zheng He eating his way back!]
Guan Yingying distributed the fruit to everyone, and the two stars who received cakes also cut them up and shared with everyone.
Chen Xixi was looking forward to this meal for dinner!
Another meal saved!
Zheng He and the others also joined in eating and saved some dinner money.
Zheng He glanced at Han Qianyi while eating, “The money you spent on buying flowers would have been better spent on more food. Now we all get to enjoy a good meal, those useless flowers were just a waste of money!”
Han Qianyi, barely containing his anger, replied, “Mind your own business, you Monday-morning quarterback!”
“…”
Did he hear wrong just now? Han Qianyi actually spoke to him like this?
Zheng He: “Did you eat gunpowder? Or did Chen Xixi drive a wedge between us, saying bad things about me?”
Han Qianyi: “Do I need Chen Xixi to speak ill of you?”
Zheng He: “…” Has Han Qianyi been possessed by Chen Xixi? Why is she so articulate all of a sudden and not speaking softly and gently to him like usual?
Zheng He reflected for a long time and finally figured out where the problem was, “Are you unhappy because I helped Chen Xixi this afternoon and not you?”
Han Qianyi sneered inwardly. She should actually thank him for not helping her. Otherwise, it would have meant using the trick he intended for Chen Xixi on her.
Han Qianyi didn’t even look at him, saying indifferently, “You’re overthinking it.”
Zheng He laughed to himself, sure enough, she was unhappy. Now she wouldn’t even look at him, and even her tone was off.
Zheng He couldn’t be bothered to appease her. After a while, Han Qianyi would be fine on her own. It wasn’t her first time being like this — she was moody in phases.
[Damn! Is this really Han Qianyi?]
[I feel like Han Qianyi has finally seen Zheng He’s true colors!]
[I don’t think it’s about finally seeing his true colors. It’s more like she can’t tolerate Zheng He anymore.]
The ten guests, tired from the afternoon’s activities, sat together eating cake and fruits, enjoying the cool evening breeze while trying to ignore the mosquitoes that were attempting to feed on them, savoring this pleasant rest.
A few started to chat about their lives and work; one male star talked about how his professional background had nothing to do with showbiz at the beginning. Someone brought up Guan Yingying’s fan dance from her last viral TV drama that had swept the internet.
As soon as Han Qianyi heard about dancing, she saw a golden opportunity to showcase her talent! She might not be professional in other domains, but she was in her element with dance!
Back in the day, she was the annual dance competition champion in her city!
Han Qianyi looked at Guan Yingying with a bit of admiration, “I’ve seen that dance, and I’ve practiced it many times in private. It’s really beautiful! Teacher Guan must have amazing dance skills, right?”
She envied Guan Yingying for wearing gorgeous, elegant dresses and delicate makeup, surrounded by the glow of the protagonist in the drama, harvesting love and adoration from the audience.
She, too, wanted to one day become the bright moon held aloft by all the stars.
Guan Yingying smiled and said, “I don’t have a dance background. That was achieved by practicing hard before filming. Actually, I’m not quite satisfied with it myself.”
Han Qianyi exclaimed in surprise, “Really? That’s amazing! I have a dance background and even I couldn’t tell!”
“You majored in dance?”
Han Qianyi nodded, “Yeah.”
At this moment, a male star sitting beside them suddenly chimed in with a teasing tone, “Why don’t you perform a dance for us right here?”
Han Qianyi shyly smiled, then turned to Guan Yingying, “Then I’ll dance Teacher Guan’s viral fan dance, if that’s alright with you?”
Guan Yingying generously responded, “Of course!”
Han Qianyi put down the half-eaten cake; she went to the chief director to ask if there were any fans or long skirts available.
She had to seize this opportunity to perform, especially in front of a crowd of top celebrities. She was determined to make the most of this chance.
If she performed well, perhaps she could become famous overnight and even surpass Chen Xixi in popularity!
She managed to borrow a fan, but unfortunately, there were no long skirts available since the variety show didn’t prepare such costumes.
However, she saw that one of the female directors was wearing a pale purple long skirt, which she borrowed and exchanged her own short skirt with the director.
She arranged everything with the sound and light technicians and casually put up her long hair, giving off a somewhat lazy elegance.
Han Qianyi slowly walked to the open space in front of all the guests. At the moment the lights dimmed, she opened her folding fan, and as the lights came up again, she gracefully spun to the rhythm of the classical music.
Her expressions changed vividly with the pace of the music, displaying pure enjoyment and immersion in the dance. Even the smallest movement revealed a shift in her emotions.
It was as if she was not just performing a dance but telling a vivid story that was captivating to watch.
After the dance finished, everyone clapped and cheered for her, even Guan Yingying couldn’t help but admire Han Qianyi’s solid dance foundation.
Han Qianyi modestly smiled and said, “I hope you liked it. Chen Xixi in our show is also a good dancer. The audience loved her dances before. Why doesn’t Chen Xixi also show us a performance?”
Chen Xixi: “???”
