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

The chance to turn things around?
Zheng He’s eyes lit up upon hearing this!
But the joys and sorrows of the world differ.
Chen Xixi didn’t want this chance at all.
She silently stared at Qian Yue, “Can this chance be retracted?”
She was exhausted. After thirty days straight without any rest, just when she finally made it to the end, they decided to throw in a sense of crisis. She felt like her head was about to explode.
“No can do on the retraction, ha.” Qian Yue let out a sneaky, somewhat tacky laugh.
Chen Xixi nodded, acknowledging it. After all, it was the production team that called the shots.
Zheng He couldn’t wait to ask, “How can we turn things around?”
Qian Yue: “We are starting personal video platform live streaming right now, with likes directly substituting for money on a one-to-one basis, limited to one hour!”
Han Qianyi incredulously asked, “Likes substituting for money? So if we get one million likes, that would equate to one million RMB?”
Qian Yue affirmed, “Yes, the total number of likes within the hour will appear on the fundraising leaderboard!”
[Holy crap! Isn’t it super easy to get likes in a live broadcast? Hundreds of thousands or even millions can be reached in just a few minutes!]
[This opportunity is insane, it feels like Chen Xixi will be easily surpassed!]
[The production team is doing this to prevent Chen Xixi from winning first place too easily, right?]
[Not necessarily. Chen Xixi is the most popular here after all, so she’ll definitely get a lot of likes. It’s still going to be hard for other guests to surpass her unless they have some amazing tricks up their sleeves that drive everyone absolutely wild.]
The production set up this game to give other guests a chance to surge in funding. Otherwise, with an overpowering presence like Chen Xixi defeating all comers, the competitive spirit among the guests would be lost.
Take the never-say-die Zheng He, for instance; he was almost ready to give up the struggle.
There’s no getting around it; the opponent is too formidable, it’s outright domination.
The production team created this turnaround competition segment at the end, also as a means of giving other guests who have long been oppressed by Chen Xixi a sliver of hope.
Zheng He was already getting anxious, determined to seize this opportunity and take the five million prize on the last day!
Zheng He took out his phone, logged into a video platform, and asked Qian Yue, “Do we start now?”
Qian Yue grinned, “If you’re all ready, we can start timing now!”
Chen Xixi, Zheng He, and Jin Cheng all took out their phones to start live streaming.
On the other hand, Han Qianyi wasn’t as rushed as them. She used her phone as a mirror to tidy up her hair and patted some powder on her face.
Then she opened the live broadcast interface, turned on all the beautifying filters like skin smoothing and face slimming to the max, and began her live stream.
[Wow! Who is this? She looks totally different from the person on the show!]
[Is this Han Qianyi? She’s way too pretty!]
[No, isn’t this sister taking her idol baggage too seriously? Why crank up the beauty filter so high? I almost didn’t recognize her.]
Han Qianyi ignored those commenting on her use of filters, smiled gently, and said, “Please help me by liking a lot, I won’t let your support go to waste. If there’s anything you want to see, you can tell me. I can perform a little show or anything else for you all.”
[Ahhh! Sister Han is so gentle! Absolutely in love!]
[Can you dance for us? I wasn’t satisfied the last time I saw you dance.]
[Yes, yes, yes! Dance, please dance for us!]
Seeing everyone wanted to watch her dance, Han Qianyi generously nodded, “Sure, what style do you want to see? Apart from the types of dances I’ve performed for you before, I know many other styles.”
This was the perfect chance for her to showcase herself, to heighten her popularity.
Even if Nanxing Entertainment isn’t hopeful, she had to show off her own talent, to let everyone see it and thus attract some capable entertainment companies.
“And don’t forget to hit like for me,” Han Qianyi added.
Five million would be great to have, but it’s not a big deal if I can’t get it.
Her first goal is still to successfully sign a contract and debut.
[Bring on all the styles! We want to see them all!]
[Yes! I love watching beauties dance! Start now, as long as you keep dancing, my likes won’t stop!]
“Okay, thank you everyone.” Han Qianyi smiled, took back her phone from the program crew to put on music, then found a cabinet to prop her phone on top of it so the live stream could fit her full figure on the screen.
Han Qianyi’s supple figure gracefully moved with the rhythm of the music, and her face quickly immersed itself in the tune.
[Ahhh! That smile and frown are so on point! You’ve danced your way into my heart! Han Qianyi, I want to marry you!!]
[When this sister dances, she really kills me! She should go on a talent show, being on this budget variety show seems like a waste of her skills!]
[That’s right, that’s right, her dance is so enchanting, look how Chen Xixi is staring!]
[Hahaha! Chen Xixi seems totally smitten by Han Qianyi hahaha!]
Meanwhile, an unexpected CP (Couple Pairing) vote combining Chen Xixi appeared on the internet.
Zhongjing Group.
Just arrived at work, Zhou Jinyuan sat at his desk, frowning at the sudden appearance of the ‘Chen Xixi & Han Qianyi’ CP pairing on his tablet.
This pairing coming out of nowhere was one thing, but to have a voting rate of ten percent, even more than his own!
He was puzzled by this.
Is shipping couples this bizarre now?
He expected to be wary of men, but now he had to start being cautious of women too?
At this moment, Assistant Xu came in knocking, “President Zhou, the meeting starts in five minutes.”
“Got it.” Zhou Jinyuan set down his tablet, thinking to himself that after the meeting, he must see what he’s losing to Han Qianyi in!
Before the meeting, he sent a message to Zhou Nansi: “How’s the romance-variety show going?”
Zhou Nansi: “All set, it airs next week. Who are you bringing to the show? Male or female?”
Zhou Jinyuan: “Good.”
Zhou Nansi: ? Selective reply?
…
In Chen Xixi’s live room.
Chen Xixi was watching Han Qianyi dance, her eyes almost glazing over, but her mouth didn’t stop: “Brothers and sisters, help me with likes, whether I can win depends on today, thank you everyone.”
[What are you watching?]
[LOL, she’s watching Han Qianyi dance!]
[As expected, beauties are the biggest attraction to other beauties!]
At the same time, Zheng He also hurriedly said: “Handsome guys and beauties, give me more likes, our live room may not have the most people, but winning likes is about speed, we may have fewer people, but we still have a chance to win, so please help me with more likes, let’s aim for the top spot on the leaderboard!”
[Other live rooms have beauties dancing, what can you perform?]
“Dancing is nothing!” Zheng He smirked, “Just say what you want to see, whatever you want to watch, I’ll do it!”
[Can you do anything?]
[I want to see what you bought with those 3,000 yuan!]
[Right! Where did your money go? I want to see what you really bought! If you don’t show us, we won’t give you likes!]
Zheng He: “…” You want my life, right?!
