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

Chen Xixi looked up at the bar with its luxurious and imposing decorations, where even the signboard at the entrance seemed to be edged with gold. Was this place safe?
More likely a gold-eating den that doesn’t even spit out bones.
She frowned and voiced her doubts: “How can you be so sure that their place is really safe?”
Anyway, she felt it wasn’t safe at all.
Just looking at this bar, one could tell it was owned by someone with money and power. If the two of them dared to make a report upon entering, chances are they’d be kidnapped and sold off to Myanmar before they could even make the emergency call.
Jin Cheng smiled mysteriously, turning his head to look at Chen Xixi. His tall figure slightly bent over, leaning close to her, and whispered in a volume just for them: “This bar’s boss has old family connections with mine.”
“…” Chen Xixi thought to herself, how much bad luck do they have? Must have blown up a universe in their past life to become age-old friends with his family.
After all, it was Jin Cheng who had brought her here to make the report, and since they were old friends, Jin Cheng should know the ins and outs of this bar. Thus, this place was definitely not simple!
She couldn’t fault that line of thinking from the perspective of their familial ties.
But from a legal and harmonious societal perspective, Jin Cheng was making a righteous move against his connections, a commendable example for all to learn from.
Chen Xixi suddenly saw Jin Cheng in a new light; he truly was a noble and upright young man!
Jin Cheng’s lips curled into a smile as he continued: “His family is wealthy; they won’t miss one bar, so go ahead and report it. And if they dare to cause trouble afterward, I’ll just give my uncle a heads-up and their family would immediately shut down!”
It wasn’t exactly a reputable place to begin with. Jin Cheng had visited a few times when he came to Hai City for fun, but due to the relationship between the two families and his lack of interest in meddling, he had never interfered.
This time, he did not want Chen Xixi to lose, and, after being prompted by Zheng He, he conveniently remembered this place.
Such a place shouldn’t exist in the first place. It would be better for Chen Xixi to report it, bringing her a step closer to the five million.
And after all, he would still have innumerable opportunities for another five million. For Chen Xixi, this might be her only chance to turn things around, so he certainly wouldn’t compete with his… good friend for this opportunity!
“Is your uncle really that powerful?” Chen Xixi had never met Jin Cheng’s uncle, but it wasn’t hard to glean from Jin Cheng’s words every time he mentioned ‘uncle’ that he seemed to regard him as some sort of divine being.
As if his uncle could perfectly solve any mess thrown at him.
Are there really such capable people in reality?
She always felt that Jin Cheng viewed his uncle through rose-colored glasses.
She had never encountered such a person, and had a hard time imagining it.
Jin Cheng laughed proudly: “Of course! He can handle any trouble, and let me tell you, my uncle fears no one. In any situation, he remains unflappable; you should have seen him that one time at…”
Jin Cheng paused, then continued: “I’ve digressed a bit. I’ll tell you about my uncle’s glorious history some other time when we have a chance. For now, let’s hurry in. If anything happens, don’t panic, just think, with… our powerful uncle backing us, no one dares to mess with us!”
Fearless, always calm and composed in the face of danger…
Jin Cheng’s description really did elevate his uncle to the status of an immortal.
Because in this world, there is no one without fear.
Right now, Chen Xixi was a bit worried about this, concerned that Jin Cheng was exaggerating too much. Combined with her recent understanding of him, she felt she couldn’t put all her hopes on Jin Cheng, and the powerful uncle who often featured in his stories.
She was afraid that if she and Jin Cheng really got into serious trouble, it wouldn’t be easy to extricate themselves. By then, even if an Immortal arrived, they’d probably only manage to pause and offer a moment of silence for them both.
So, she still had to rely on herself.
Chen Xixi calmly nodded, “Okay, but once we get in, you’ll have to listen to me the whole time.”
Jin Cheng, over one meter eighty-tall with sharp and indifferent eyes, now had a hint of a smile as he obediently said, “No problem. Also, if the tip-off really works out, you don’t have to pay me. I don’t need it! Just seeing you win makes me very happy!”
“How can I accept that?” Chen Xixi chuckled.
“If it wasn’t for you, who knows how many meals I would’ve missed! We shouldn’t stand on ceremony with each other!”
Before entering the bar, Chen Xixi looked at Jin Cheng and asked with concern, “But doing this, can you still go home? If not, you can find a place to wait for me, and I’ll go in alone to take a look.”
The families have been closely connected for at least a generation since their grandfathers, and if Jin Cheng took her to report their family friends’ bar without saying a word, his own family might be angered to death for not being able to explain to the other party.
Similarly, Jin Cheng’s life at home would definitely not be easy after that.
Jin Cheng spoke nonchalantly, “No worries, if the sky falls, I have my Uncle to hold it up. Besides, that bar has been dirty from the start. If my family found out what I did, they might even give me two banners of honor to hang on the wall when I get home!”
At this moment, Jin Cheng was unaware that his Uncle’s sky was about to collapse…
And he would be the first to receive the banners, courtesy of his Uncle’s wrath, per se.
Chen Xixi nodded and followed Jin Cheng into the bar.
The bar’s interior decoration was even more extravagant than its façade.
Under the dazzling crystal chandeliers, the high-end and trendy design style clearly showed the work of some renowned artist. Along with the rows of foreign liquors displayed in the transparent showcases, one could tell without looking at the price tags that they were all very expensive. The place was filled with the scent of opulence.
[Holy cow! They’re so rich! Thanks to Jin Cheng and Chen Xixi, I got to visit and see this kind of high-end place!]
[What are Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng doing at the bar? Could they also be trying to win the reward money with a tip-off?]
[I’m not even going to say anything, girls, I’m just going to virtually order eighteen male models. I bet this place has them!]
[I’ll order twenty-eight!]
[If Chen Xixi wants to report, she probably needs to order male models, right? How else could she report? Sneaking around the bar with shifty eyes like Zheng He definitely won’t do the trick!]
Jin Cheng and Chen Xixi stood in the bar lobby. Jin Cheng spoke softly, “Ahead is the dance floor, and the private rooms are upstairs. Where shall we start?”
In such a high-end place, if it’s shady, they’re definitely more guarded. If you’re not a frequent visitor, you probably won’t easily get special treatment.
Chen Xixi didn’t know if they would see anything they shouldn’t here.
She spoke lightly, “Let’s start with the private rooms.” The dance floor is too chaotic; it’s not only difficult to gather evidence, but people are also easy to lose track of.
However, as soon as they started heading upstairs, they were stopped by a security guard, who asked, “Which private room are you in?”
Without an escort, it was always forbidden for new guests to roam around the upstairs private rooms.
Jin Cheng hadn’t paid attention to these procedures before. He put his hands in his pockets, looking calm, and said, “My surname is Jin. Your Boss Xu has invited me over.”
