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

Zheng He continued, “I spent 3,000 yuan risking my safety to personally buy Fake Money, all to catch criminal evidence. But I didn’t expect the other party to be somewhat cunning—they seemed to sense something and didn’t dare to deliver it to me. Sigh, I was this close to taking down a counterfeit money operation!”
He had to publicize such great deeds properly!
[How do I feel that the other party didn’t hesitate to deliver, but they never intended to deliver in the first place?]
[I have the same feeling. I think he got scammed, so he reported it to the police, and then it turned into a report, after all, when he encountered real criminals, he only had the role of a scammed victim.]
[Not necessarily! Just the night before yesterday, Zheng He went to report a bar, so it’s also possible that he truly went to report the counterfeit money sellers!]
[I think Little Zheng is pretty good, what with donating and reporting the bar and the counterfeiters, stop picking on him all the time!]
[Zheng He is saying this, it must be true, if it were false, the police would have clarified it by now. It seems that Zheng He is indeed a good person, hopefully, he keeps it up, and in the next variety show, I hope to see him again.]
[Zheng He is too amazing, actually making major moves in silence, we have misunderstood you before!]
By the end of the program, Zheng He’s reputation finally began to turn around; fewer people were cursing and disliking him.
Wan Chen looked at the injuries on Zheng He’s face and couldn’t help asking, “Did your injury from the last beating worsen?”
Zheng He: “No, this is a new one.”
Wan Chen: “How did that happen?”
Zheng He became irritated just thinking about it: “Didn’t I report that bar earlier? The bar owner held a grudge against me and then found people to take revenge in private. They succeeded last night when I wasn’t paying attention. I’m telling you, if they hadn’t ambushed me, I could have taken them all down by myself!”
Getting beaten up is not something to be proud of, and as a man, he certainly couldn’t easily admit that he is a coward and the one who got beaten up unilaterally!
Wan Chen curled his lips. He felt that Zheng He had a huge misunderstanding about himself.
[Reports are usually anonymous, Zheng He outright disclosed himself, saying he reported the counterfeit money crime spot, is he not worried about being retaliated against by the criminal gang?]
[Having read what the person above said, I’m a bit worried for Zheng He now, mainly because Zheng He will be leaving the show soon, if he doesn’t leave, we could still help watch over him, but once he leaves, who knows what could happen.]
[What can’t a criminal gang do? I think Zheng He should still be careful these days! It’s best to post a daily Weibo status or a safety check video on social platforms, just in case he doesn’t update one day, we can all quickly report to the police!]
[Retaliated by a bar? That’s too much! Poor Zheng He!]
On the day the show ended, Zheng He’s reputation was somewhat rectified, and with his misfortune, he attracted quite a few fans.
Zheng He’s Weibo followers suddenly surged by three million.
At the same time, Zheng He’s fan group was extremely lively.
The purpose of these three million fans forming a fan group was nothing other than to share materials about Zheng He’s misfortunes so that whenever they encounter obstacles in life and feel they can’t endure anymore, they can go into the group and look at these materials.
By then they would realize that the difficulties they face are nothing.
If someone like Zheng He can still live stubbornly, what reason do they have to not keep going?
Who can say that this isn’t another form of positive energy transmission?
So Little Zheng is still very useful to everyone!
Qian Yue also cast an admiring look at Zheng He, “Zheng He has done a great favor! Let’s give Zheng He a round of applause!”
Qian Yue suddenly felt the gratification of watching his own rebellious child finally grow up and become sensible!
After the applause, Qian Yue smiled and spoke, “Alright, back to the matter at hand, we’ve now come to the exciting awards segment. Let me first announce our latest ranking status!”
Qian Yue took out his phone, looked at the leaderboard, and read out loud, “The money-saving leaderboard, fifth place Wan Chen! Fourth place Zheng He! Third place Jin Cheng! Second place Han Qianyi! First place——Chen Xixi! Let’s congratulate Chen Xixi for becoming this season’s Savings King, winning the prize money of five million yuan!”
“Wu~” Atmosphere coordinator Jin Cheng whistled a few times and genuinely clapped to congratulate Chen Xixi.
However, Jin Cheng was the only person in the atmosphere group.
Two seconds later, another round of applause sounded.
Chen Xixi looked in the direction of the sound—it was Han Qianyi.
Then there was a smattering of half-hearted applause; Wan Chen and Zheng He were clapping reluctantly.
Chen Xixi turned around, her face breaking into a joyful smile: “Thanks, everyone.”
Starting from today, she too was a millionaire!
After the show, she was going to look at houses; she wanted to buy a big house and have her parents move in with her, to live together in Jiang City!
After congratulating Chen Xixi, Qian Yue began to announce the popularity ranking: “Fifth place goes to Wan Chen, fourth to Jin Cheng, third to Zheng He, second to Han Qianyi, and first place to Chen Xixi! Let’s congratulate Chen Xixi for becoming the popularity king of this season! And for the opportunity to sign with Nanxing Entertainment!”
Han Qianyi was so envious she was almost in tears.
This was the scene she dreamed of every night; she had even practiced her acceptance speech hundreds of times in her dreams.
Chen Xixi stepped forward and politely bowed to the live camera, “Thank you all for your support and affection.”
Qian Yue excitedly spoke up: “And now, may I invite our sponsor, President Zhou of Zhongjing Group, to present the prize money to our champion!”
Of course, the prize money could not be given on the spot, but the ceremony was still important.
Zhou Jinyuan appeared in a black suit, with a ceremonial lady holding a sign that said “Five million yuan.”
Zhou Jinyuan walked up to Chen Xixi, took the sign from the ceremonial lady, and handed it to Chen Xixi with a smile, “Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Chen Xixi said her thanks and didn’t forget to promote herself, “If you invest in shows like this in the future, feel free to contact me at any time.”
President Zhou: “There will be opportunities.”
[Ahhh! Congratulations, my baby Chen Xixi!]
[So excited, so excited! Feels like I’m more thrilled than if I had gotten the prize money myself!]
[Chen Xiaokou deserves it!]
[The frugality queen has truly earned her title!]
[Now that Chen Xiaokou has signed with Nanxing Entertainment, I can see her online every day, fantastic!]
[Chen Xixi is now wealthy, and she’s got a job! That’s great!]
Afterward, Qian Yue brought out the contract from Nanxing Entertainment, “Now, let’s invite President Lu from Nanxing Entertainment and Chen Xixi to complete the signing ceremony together!”
Chen Xixi carefully checked everything was in order and, with a flourish, signed her name.
Lu Wenling signed his name as well, then extended his hand, the corners of his lips slightly raised, “Pleasure doing business. For the next ten years, you’ll be a part of Nanxing Entertainment!”
Chen Xixi politely shook hands in return, “Pleasure doing business, President Lu.”
At this moment, Zheng He suddenly interjected with a cheeky comment: “President Lu, have you thought about signing all four of us? It’s like a buy-one-get-four deal, super worth it.”
Lu Wenling smiled but declined, “No thanks, I’m afraid I’d lose money.”
The next second, he turned his gaze on Zheng He and mercilessly said: “Especially you.”
“…”
