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

Chen Youqing was livid, he wouldn’t even say a harsh word to his own daughter, so why should the Xu Family be allowed to bully her!
Chen Youqing took the suitcase from Chen Xixi’s hand, glanced outside the door, and said, “Don’t listen to them. Their whole family is not normal, reporting my daughter like that? If I don’t believe my own daughter and believe them instead, what am I, an idiot?”
The Xu Family were just lucky they didn’t cross him at the height of his career. Otherwise, he would’ve shown them what for in minutes!
But even though he had fallen from grace, he wasn’t someone who could be easily pushed around—he was very clear-headed!
Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Xixi and also said, “That’s right, I heard about the issue from your Aunt Zhang at the little store. Everyone online is now scolding Xu Yichen and his girlfriend, as well as her high-up father. Basically, they’re saying they ganged up to bully you!
It’s like the dog taking advantage of its master’s power! We didn’t even go and settle scores with them! How shameless of them to have the audacity to accuse us of being ungrateful!”
Chen Youqing angrily said, “They’re just scared, wanting Xixi to delete that statement! They come begging but can’t put their pride aside, and in the end, they resort to slander, trying to throw dirt on our daughter. They really take us for fools!”
Chen Xixi smiled, pulled her parents into the house, and urged them to calm down and not to let other people upset them.
She then recounted how she earned five million from participating in a reality TV show and signing a contract with Nanxing Entertainment, “I plan to use this money to put a down payment on a big house, then all of us can move in together!”
Mrs. Chen exchanged a look with Chen Youqing, both hesitated for a moment, and then Mrs. Chen showed a loving smile, “We are old and don’t want to bother with moving. Plus, your father and I have lived here for a long time and are used to it. We really don’t want to move. Just take good care of yourself, that’s enough.”
Chen Youqing spoke with a chuckle, “Yeah, don’t worry about us. Just don’t work too hard.”
No matter how much Chen Xixi tried to persuade them, the old couple just didn’t want to move. Seeing she couldn’t sway them, Chen Xixi didn’t persist, figuring that the elderly couple must have their own reasons.
However, Chen Xixi finally suggested renovating the house, which the old couple agreed to, just asking Chen Xixi not to spend too much money.
With the house matter settled, Chen Xixi suddenly remembered something and asked, “Before we moved here, did we have a neighbor surnamed Zhou?”
Chen Youqing and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, both racking their brains. Chen Youqing said, “I was busy with work before and didn’t pay much attention to who our neighbors were. I knew some, but none of them were surnamed Zhou… It might also be that it’s been too long, and I can’t remember… Why do you suddenly ask?”
“It’s nothing, just a wealthy boss claimed to know me from when I was young, so I was just asking.” Chen Xixi asked curiously, “Was our family very wealthy before?”
Chen Youqing’s eyes dimmed, his hands on his thighs clenched into fists, then relaxed again, “It was alright.”
Chen Xixi didn’t ask further, sensing that Mr. Chen wasn’t too inclined to talk about the past. She then suggested with a smile, “Let’s not cook tonight. I’ve got money now, so let’s go out for a big meal. And tomorrow, our family of three will go to the car dealership to get Mr. Chen a suitable car!”
What does President Zhou matter compared to her dad?
Making sure her dad was happy was what truly mattered!
Mr. Chen felt an itch hearing the suggestion; it had been many years since he had driven a four-wheeled vehicle. Watching other people’s cars, he’d been envious too, but over the years, he’d slowly gotten used to it.
Mr. Chen refused, “I don’t want it. Keep your money for the house.”
Chen Xixi, with her arm entwined with Mr. Chen’s, responded cheerfully, “I forgot to tell you, I’m also participating in a dating reality show next week. It’s seven days long, and I’ll get another five million! So you don’t have to worry about me.”
Mr. Chen was surprised, “A dating show? The kind where everyone dates each other? Are you going to date someone?”
Chen Xixi hurriedly explained, “Not really dating, just stirring up some CP (couple pairing) hype.”
Mrs. Chen’s face was full of curiosity, “How can I watch it? Where can I watch it? Teach me, your mom wants to see it too.”
Chen Xixi fell silent for a while, then raised her head towards the ceiling and started to speak hesitantly, “This… forget it, there’s nothing interesting to see.”
Her mouth is really too fast! How did she let this slip out!
Before she returned, she had made up her mind not to mention this at all.
To let her parents see her dating online and meeting up with men, it’s just too embarrassing!
In the end, after a lot of distractions from Chen Xixi, her mother finally forgot about the dating show and the family of three went to the big restaurant at the market to have a grand meal.
The next morning, Chen Xixi took Mr. Chen to look at cars, and after an hour of selection, Chen Xixi paid in full for an SUV around three hundred thousand. Such a car is convenient in the countryside, and this price is also quite reasonable for its value. Mr. Chen was very satisfied, and so was Chen Xixi.
When the car was parked at the gate of the courtyard, the Xu family next door saw it.
Mrs. Xu’s face was twisted with jealousy as she spoke in a low voice to Xu Yichen, who was weeding in the field, “I told you to take good care of Chen Xixi, but you had to go get that poor excuse for a girlfriend! Look at Chen Xixi, isn’t she much better than what’s-her-name Li Youjia? Not worse looking either, and at the very least, we know her family background well. Now she’s won five million from the show, is buying a car and going to renovate her house, you’d have to climb to reach her level now!”
Father Xu also gave Xu Yichen a sidelong glance, “Even when you’re given a chance, you’re useless!”
Both from the same village, Xu Yichen and Chen Xixi had become like people from two different worlds.
Father Xu and Mrs. Xu both felt utterly humiliated!
Meanwhile.
After the wrap-up banquet of the show, Han Qianyi, Zheng He and Wan Chen also received the dating show invitations.
Not just for the sake of it, but for the five million as well!
Last time five people competed for the five million and didn’t get it, but now each person has a chance, it’d be foolish not to go!
Once the show ended, Han Qianyi actively made an appointment with Vice President Wang of Nanxing Entertainment.
If she couldn’t find an opportunity through Lu Wenling, she’d try through Vice President Wang. Anyway, she had to ace the audition; she couldn’t give Chen Xixi a chance to look down on her.
Han Qianyi scheduled to meet Vice President Wang at a star-rated Western restaurant and specifically booked a private room to prevent paparazzi from taking pictures.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Vice President Wang arrived.
Han Qianyi, who arrived half an hour early, quickly stood up and pulled out the chair for Vice President Wang.
In order to leave a good impression on Vice President Wang at tonight’s dinner, she carefully dressed up at home for over an hour and chose a brand-new off-shoulder red dress she bought this year.
She spent more than three thousand on this dress, and she usually couldn’t bear to wear it.
Vice President Wang’s gaze wandered over Han Qianyi, then he smiled and cut to the chase, “Is it about signing a contract with Nanxing Entertainment?”
Han Qianyi smiled gently, her fingers clenched around the hem of her dress under the table, and she mustered up the courage to say, “Yes, Vice President Wang, I think I have a lot of potential, I just need an opportunity to be recognized.”
“It’s not difficult to sign a contract, it’s just a word from me, but I don’t know what kind of charm Miss Han has…” Vice President Wang paused, his eyes revealing a hint of greedy and lecherous intention, “to persuade me?”
