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

“Dealing in fake money is illegal, and he hasn’t even started reporting it yet. If he were to reveal he purchased fake money first, he might well be taken away by the police again.
But being taken away isn’t what he’s afraid of, for he can claim he bought it just to report it, with the aim of preserving evidence.
However, he can’t afford to be taken away now.
He still needs to rely on live streaming this hour to gain more likes than Chen Xixi, so during this hour, he cannot have any accidents!
Zheng He pretended not to see and continued: “What kind of talent do you want to see? I can sing—how about I sing a song for you all!”
[ Sing? Really? Do you actually have talent? ]
[ Don’t change the subject! We want to see what you did with the 3,000 yuan! ]
[ Zheng He is so reluctant to mention the 3,000 yuan, could it be possible that while we were unaware, he’s been scammed by fraudsters again? ]
[ The one above, your deduction is highly possible! Given Zheng He’s intelligence, he must have been scammed out of everything, that’s why he’s too embarrassed to tell us! ]
Zheng He originally wanted to continue pretending nothing was amiss, but when he saw the last few comments, he completely lost his restraint.
“Who got scammed again? What’s with my intelligence? Why would I let scammers cheat me out of all my money?”
Zheng He’s voice raised a lot due to his agitation, causing Han Qianyi, who was dancing, to falter mid-way and turn to look at Zheng He.
Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng also looked over curiously.
They were all too curious about how Zheng He got scammed again!
Zheng He clarified excitedly: “Let me tell you all, this time I’m on a big mission, so it’s not suitable to make it public! Just you wait and see, wait for me to show you a thing or two, and you’ll see me in a new light!”
“…”
Whether it was the guests present or the audience in the live stream, everyone was resoundingly silent.
Nobody believed him.
[ If I heard that right, Zheng He means to do something big quietly? ]
[ Or do you mean to fart quietly, and only tell us once it’s in your pants? ]
[ The one above… your words are crude, but the description is apt! ]
Zheng He “tsked” twice, frowning as he explained: “What nonsense are you all talking about! Let me tell you, this time, I absolutely will not be scammed!”
Everybody: “…” Nobody believes a ghost.
Seeing that no one believed him, Zheng He tried even harder to defend himself: “Really! Believe in me! This time not only will I not be scammed, but I will also show you a different side of me!”
Zheng He explained a few words, gradually losing patience, and seeing that five minutes had already passed, he hastily said: “Everyone, please start hitting like, as long as you can help me rank first in fundraising, I will show you what I did with the 3,000 yuan at the end of the live stream, how about that?”
After saying that, the corners of his mouth lifted smugly. Manipulating these netizens was just too easy!
[ Really? ]
Zheng He: “Of course it’s real! When have my words ever fallen through!”
[ I’ll believe you one more time! ]
[ Anyway, we’ll probably know the answer at the end of the show. I’m not in a hurry. I’ll go to other guests’ live streams and hit like. I don’t want to give my likes to someone always skirting the edge of the law. ]
“Don’t go! I can still perform, I’ll sing a song for you, and as long as you hit like and get me to first, I’ll reveal what I did with the 3,000 yuan. I guarantee you’ll be absolutely amazed!”
Zheng He knew the netizens were very curious about his 3,000 yuan, so he kept emphasizing it in the live stream and repeatedly brought it up, stirring up the netizens’ interest, prompting them to keep hitting like.
It has to be said, this tactic was quite effective; the likes in Zheng He’s live stream surged instantaneously, almost rivaling Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi.
The one with the least attention in terms of likes turned out to be Jin Cheng’s live stream.
Jin Cheng never intended to compete with Chen Xixi for the five million, so the primary goal of opening his live stream was to help Chen Xixi attract viewers.”
Jin Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly began, “You don’t need to send me any tips, go to Chen Xixi’s live stream and help her out. Helping her is the same as helping me.”
[Are you helping her so much because you like her?]
[You’re not secretly in love with Chen Xixi, are you?]
[That’s right! Ever since you met Chen Xixi, you seem to have treated her differently!]
Jin Cheng, seeing the screen filled with speculations about his special feelings for Chen Xixi, looked on as his ears tinged slightly red, “Stop talking nonsense. We are just very good friends and, moreover, I am not lacking this bit of bonus money. Just give her more likes.”
He said this and turned his head to look at Chen Xixi, who was sitting at the kitchen bar.
Chen Xixi sat quietly on the chair, her gaze fixed on her phone screen, earnestly talking about something.
He couldn’t hear her from this distance.
He could only see the sunlight spilling over her slender shoulders and small profile, as if casting her entire person through a warm filter.
She was truly beautiful, and not only that—she was a nice person, knew how to manage a home, and importantly, she could play video games!
He wondered which man would be lucky enough to catch her eye.
Yet he felt that no man in this world deserved her.
…except for himself.
In terms of wealth and status, he was not lacking; in fact, he had much more than the average person. In terms of looks and physique, he was also not lacking; again, he was much above average.
In terms of intelligence, tenderness, and obedience, he could perform very well in front of her.
So, perhaps only someone like him could be worthy of Chen Xixi, right?
If… just supposing he wanted her to be his girlfriend, he wondered what her reaction would be, would she agree?
The key thing was, he had never pursued a girl before and didn’t know if a direct confession would scare her…
If Chen Xixi really became his girlfriend, then he would have someone to power-level him in games in the future!
Jin Cheng was indulging in this pleasant thought, but he didn’t realize that soon, he would be crying his eyes out.
[Look at how worthless Young Master Jin is acting, yet he denies it! He clearly likes Chen Xixi!]
[You kid, why are you staring at my wife Xixi like that!]
[The young master must have fallen for Chen Xixi after one month of interaction. Chen Xixi’s charm is indeed great; not only are the netizens utterly mesmerized, even Young Master Jin can’t control himself!]
[Finding sweetness in a frugal variety show, I’m truly a little genius!]
[Go ahead, ship them, who can outship your CP fan army!]
Meanwhile, the online voting for the couple pairing of Jin Cheng and Chen Xixi surged to eighty-eight percent in an instant!
After the meeting, Zhou Jinyuan sat in his office refreshing the vote counts, and his expression was very unpleasant.
His own voting rate was not even close to a fraction of Jin Cheng’s!
Zhou Jinyuan said with a grave voice: “Assistant Xu, just arrange for Jin Cheng to study abroad in Germany. He leaves tomorrow.”
Assistant Xu: “Tomorrow? I’m afraid the paperwork won’t be processed that quickly.”
“Let him get used to the new environment in advance.”
Assistant Xu asked with confusion, “Weren’t we arranging for the young master to go to France before?”
Zhou Jinyuan smiled slightly, “I suddenly feel that France isn’t suitable for him. I believe that the next year in Germany will be the most unforgettable ten years of his five-year study abroad experience.”
Germany, a country where it’s very difficult to graduate from.
With Jin Cheng’s intelligence, it might be very hard for him to come back.
This couple pairing should be able to disband quite soon.
