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

Chen Xixi just had a complicated expression because—she called the police.
The bar this time was different in nature from the hot pot and barbecue restaurant last time.
Making a phone call to the police on someone else’s turf was too unsafe; if someone heard, they wouldn’t be able to walk out of the bar.
Moreover, when she reported the hot pot and barbecue restaurant last time, she had to step outside the restaurant before making the call. Otherwise, if she had made the call inside, she probably would have been stopped before it even connected.
That’s why this time she used text messaging to alert the police, which was much safer.
The key point was—she had actually reported the show’s sponsor!!
Had she just offended the sponsor?!
Luckily, she felt somewhat relieved because she brought Zheng He with her.
She didn’t bring Zheng He here to take advantage of her.
Chen Xixi wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen anything and quickly walk out, but suddenly, she heard the familiar voice of a man calling out her full name from behind her!
In her mind, being called by her full name usually meant nothing good would follow.
Jin Cheng also heard Zhou Jinyuan’s voice, but for a short moment, he didn’t feel like dealing with his Uncle anymore; he felt that his Uncle was tainted… he needed to take a breather.
Zhou Jinyuan got to the doorway and saw Chen Xixi did not even stop her stride, and she almost burst into a run as if dodging ghosts.
Zhou Jinyuan let out a soft chuckle, just as he prepared to follow her, suddenly—
The lights in the bar went out!
The previously bright corridor was now pitch black.
The entire bar plunged into darkness where one couldn’t see one’s own hand in front of their face.
People in the bar were still not accustomed to the sudden darkness, and for an instant, everyone seemed to have turned blind. In the dance floor below, the men and women who had been dancing wildly groped around in confusion, “What’s going on? Where’s the light? My light?!”
“Damn it! Have my eyes been blinded by the strobe lights?!”
…
In the restroom.
A cleaning lady with a mop clutched under her arm took out her phone from her pants pocket and sent a message: “It’s done, send me the rest of the Money!”
The next second, one thousand yuan was directly transferred into her account!
A person had approached her two days before, offering her two thousand yuan to do a little favor.
That little favor was to pull the main power switch of the bar when that person needed it.
The cleaning lady agreed instantly for the Money!
Hesitating even for a second would be disrespecting Money!
Moreover, after cleaning for so many years, she had never seen such a stingy yet wealthy boss!
For the Dragon Boat Festival, other bosses give out a box of zongzi; their boss only gives one piece. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, other bosses distribute a box of mooncakes; their boss still only hands out one, and even for Spring Festival red envelopes, he only included his signature!
It was ridiculous!
This signature, even if used as toilet paper, she felt would bring bad luck!
In her forty years of working, she had never seen such a stingy boss!
If finding a job wasn’t so difficult nowadays, she would have switched long ago!
Two thousand yuan would not only provide her with additional income but also allow her to take revenge on the boss! Absolutely thrilling!
And a power outage is a common occurrence in this world; surely the boss wouldn’t suspect her!
A blackout in the bar would greatly affect business.
This was the business war return gift to Muse Bar from the bar across the street after being reported by Zheng He twice in a row!
…
In the corridor.
Chen Xixi came here for the first time and was completely unfamiliar with the route of the bar. Suddenly everything went dark, and she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Zhou Jinyuan walked forward by feel, worried that Chen Xixi was afraid of the dark, so he quickened his pace. After sensing someone ahead, he didn’t think twice before stretching out his hand and grabbing the other person’s slender wrist.
His voice was steady: “Why are you running?”
He had just called her name; he couldn’t believe she hadn’t heard him at all.
The other party seemed stubborn, silent and not shaking off his hand, simply letting him pull them along.
Zhou Jinyuan knew she must have misunderstood.
Misunderstood that he was that kind of man…
He was just starting to pursue her and had already left such an impression. If he didn’t clarify things today, he would probably end up on her blacklist in the future.
He immediately explained, “You misunderstood, those girls earlier weren’t called over by me, and I didn’t touch them.”
After Zhou Jinyuan finished explaining, he seemed to feel the other party’s awkward attitude soften slightly, because their breathing fluctuated noticeably, indicating his words had an effect.
Zhou Jinyuan looked down, unable to see in the darkness how he was holding her wrist, but he could sense the cool temperature lower than his palm and the sensation brought by her delicate skin.
Zhou Jinyuan, who had almost never had physical contact with the opposite sex, felt his ears hidden in the darkness gradually turning red.
The last time he felt like this was during a kindergarten event, when she hugged him…
His expression was unusually flustered, perhaps taking advantage of the fact that she couldn’t see his face now, he became more talkative and explained again: “I’m not usually like this, you’ll understand once you get to know me.”
The other person remained silent, not voicing whether they believed him or not.
Zhou Jinyuan unconsciously tightened his grip on the other person’s wrist and added, “Really.”
Just as Zhou Jinyuan’s words fell, suddenly a beam of light flared up, and that light shone directly onto his face. He instinctively raised his hand to block it, squinting his eyes, frowning.
Then—he saw that the light seemed to be coming from Chen Xixi.
The power outage wasn’t a big deal; Chen Xixi fumbled for her phone in her pocket and turned on the flashlight. Then she heard Zhou Jinyuan explaining behind her.
She guessed that Zhou Jinyuan was afraid she would blow the whistle on the situation, affecting his image, which is why he followed her to clarify.
She immediately turned around, and the light of the flashlight inadvertently shone on Zhou Jinyuan’s face. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”
As she spoke, she moved the light source of the phone downward.
Then she saw—Zhou Jinyuan holding a wrist, and the owner of the wrist was Jin Cheng!
So Zhou Jinyuan wasn’t explaining to her!
Oh my goodness!
Two grown men…
Did she see something she shouldn’t have again?
The heavens must want to doom me!
If only she had known not to turn on the flashlight earlier!
She should have been dumber, just groping in the dark!
In the moment Chen Xixi’s eyes widened, she quickly extinguished the light source of her phone.
The corridor once again plunged into darkness.
Only this time, the darkness was tinged with a bit of eeriness.
Chen Xixi put her phone back into her pocket, then the next second, she raised both hands in the darkness, groping around clumsily, extending her feet bit by bit to test the path beside her, “Sorry for the interruption, carry on, I didn’t see anything.”
“…”
Zhou Jinyuan looked at Chen Xixi’s increasingly complicated expression and knew she had misunderstood again.
Zhou Jinyuan immediately let go, disgustedly dusted off his hands, and with a complete one hundred and eighty-degree change in attitude, said to Jin Cheng, “What are you doing here?”
Jin Cheng grinned, “Here for a bit of business.”
Jin Cheng was now very happy. So his Uncle hadn’t collapsed the house! He even specifically followed him to explain; he was truly touched!
He knew he was the most important to his Uncle!
