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

"Wait a few minutes for me," Chen Xixi said before hanging up the phone. She pondered for a moment and then composed a text message to send to Wan Chen.
Wan Chen couldn’t help but admire Chen Xixi after reading the message. She truly lived up to her name!
No wonder he lost to her in the "Saving Money" variety show!
He replied with a simple ’Okay’ and rushed into the studio to bring Han Qianyi out. Han Qianyi was clueless: "What are we doing?"
Behind Han Qianyi, the director-general roared in anger, but alas, it was futile; neither of them listened to him!
It was enough to give the director-general a liver ache!
Wan Chen led her to a secluded spot and whispered: "Do you have Vice President Wang’s contact information?"
Han Qianyi replied honestly: "I do, but I’ve already blocked him."
"You unblock Vice President Wang’s contact from your phone now, then call him, and do as I say—tell him you realize you were wrong and beg him for another chance..."
Han Qianyi frowned as she listened, incredulous: "Is this your plan?"
She had already hit the person; now begging for their mercy, was there any good outcome to be expected?
To be humiliated by delivering herself right to their door, she might as well just smash the jar and be done with it in defiance!
After all, she had her bottom line; she couldn’t do anything that would defile her innocence, no matter what!
Seeing her resistance, Wan Chen spoke with patience: "Who was it just now that said, for the sake of long-term development, enduring a little grievance now is nothing, not to lose sight of the big picture over something small; isn’t that the most correct approach... How come when it was about me, you had a plethora of sound arguments, but when it comes to you, how come you’re confused?"
Han Qianyi pondered Wan Chen’s words and guessed: "You mean, you don’t really want me to beg him?"
"Of course, that kind of animal isn’t worthy of your pleas; it’s just that we need evidence now. Merely our word is likely insufficient to convince others of that animal’s actions."
Han Qianyi’s eyes suddenly shone with admiration, and she praised: "You’re so clever!"
Wan Chen felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze, shifted his eyes away, and cleared his throat lightly: "Save your compliments for Chen Xixi later; it was her idea."
Han Qianyi was shocked for a few seconds: "You’re saying Chen Xixi is helping me?"
Wan Chen: "Yes, I needed President Lu’s contact information, so I called her and briefly explained the situation... But don’t worry, I instructed her not to spread the word about this."
Han Qianyi nodded slowly, but her expression was still somewhat dazed, as if she hadn’t recovered from the shock.
...
On the other side.
Chen Xixi put away her phone, turned to President Zhou Jinyuan with a perfect smile on her face: "President Zhou, are you on good terms with our President Lu?"
President Zhou Jinyuan nodded slowly, "Hmm, pretty good."
"How good?"
"As good as you’d like it to be."
Chen Xixi asked directly: "In that case, could I ask you to get in touch with President Lu for me, and maybe ask President Lu to do me a favor?"
Actually, she could have gotten President Lu’s contact through her agent, though her agent might not have it. But they were all in the same company; it wouldn’t be hard to find out.
The reason she thought of troubling President Zhou Jinyuan was that she felt having his help might increase her chances of success. Maybe, with Zhou Jinyuan’s assistance, they could make that scummy vice president suffer a bit!
But she wasn’t the shameless type; she said with a smile: "I won’t let you help for nothing. That brooch you liked last time—I can go back and exchange it for you right away!"
It’s just 3 points!
Points can be earned again, but that old scumbag must be brought down!
President Zhou Jinyuan met her eyes and chuckled lightly: "Forget the brooch; I want something else."
"Does that mean you agree?" Chen Xixi was a bit surprised.
She had prepared a stack of flattery, yet before she could deploy it, President Zhou Jinyuan had already agreed. He was so nice, so easy to talk to!
"Hmm."
"Okay." Chen Xixi agreed readily, but added immediately after: "But whether I can do it or not depends on whether your request is reasonable. I can’t guarantee that I can definitely do it."
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curled up slightly: "Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to do it."
Since the guests already handed over their mobile phones to the show crew, Chen Xixi rode her little electric scooter back to the village to get Zhou Jinyuan’s mobile phone from the crew.
During this time, Wan Chen called to hurry her twice.
Chen Xixi looked at the hung-up call, puzzled: "It’s really odd, why is he so concerned about Han Qianyi’s matter? He wasn’t like this when we were saving money in previous variety shows."
In the past, Wan Chen had the least presence and rarely interacted with them. She could distinctly feel that Wan Chen’s reservedness was not due to introversion, but rather that he was not the same kind of person as them.
Zhou Jinyuan sat on the edge of the bed and took his phone from a staff member. Hearing Chen Xixi’s words, he glanced over and laughed lazily: "You seem to have a clear understanding of other people’s business."
Chen Xixi turned her head to meet Zhou Jinyuan’s gaze, feeling that there was an implication in his words, but she was also a bit confused and couldn’t pinpoint the crux.
She felt that she understood her own matters quite clearly though!
Zhou Jinyuan swiped his thumb over the screen, unlocked the phone, and asked her, "What do you need from Lu Wenling?"
Chen Xixi took a step forward, sitting down beside Zhou Jinyuan.
Zhou Jinyuan was tall, and when sitting side by side, Chen Xixi was almost a head shorter than him, making the size difference extremely obvious.
She leaned her upper body towards Zhou Jinyuan, tilting her neck, reaching his ear proved somewhat challenging.
Realizing she leaned in, Zhou Jinyuan actively tilted his head to facilitate her action.
Chen Xixi raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered softly: "A vice president at our company wants to exploit Han Qianyi, but she didn’t agree, so the vice president wants to ban her. Han Qianyi is now with the chief director, being forced to sign a contract termination!"
Considering the girl’s reputation, even without Wan Chen’s reminder, Chen Xixi wouldn’t let more people know.
Hence why she was so cautious, whispering into Zhou Jinyuan’s ear.
After finishing her explanation, Chen Xixi spoke indignantly: "President Zhou, don’t you think such people should be dealt with? Shouldn’t we restore justice for Han Qianyi!"
Zhou Jinyuan frowned slightly, "Did Wan Chen tell you this?"
"Yes."
Zhou Jinyuan’s expression grew somber: "Did that vice president do anything to you?"
"Not really, I haven’t had much contact with Vice President Wang yet, but who knows what could happen in the future?" Chen Xixi said, while sighing mournfully, exuding an aura of someone pitiful throughout.
If Vice President Wang really dares to provoke her, then she would certainly make sure he learns what it means when the sky falls!
"Does Wan Chen have any evidence?" Zhou Jinyuan spoke earnestly, "I believe you, and I believe the person you want to help definitely deserves your help, but to deal with someone else, we also need convincing evidence. Otherwise, it will be difficult for others in the company to believe. If there is evidence, I assure you that we will give Han Qianyi justice."
Chen Xixi’s eyes lit up, filled with a hopeful gleam, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes! There’s evidence! You truly are President Zhou, a righteous and kindhearted person!"
Although the righteous and kindhearted President Zhou often received flattery from Chen Xixi and was used to it, the corners of his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a faint smile.
Chen Xixi hurriedly took out her mobile phone to forward the audio she had just received to Zhou Jinyuan.
...
In Zheng He’s live streaming room.
Zheng He rode an electric scooter, while Hu Yun sat on the backseat, holding onto Zheng He’s waist.
Midway, Hu Yun suddenly had a spark of inspiration and asked Zheng He to stop. She found a concealed spot to turn off the live stream camera, then called her agent.
She ordered: "Hurry up and get someone to vote for me!"
Why show off love when buying votes is faster?!
The agent hesitated: "The company has clear rules against buying votes..."
Hu Yun was confident, "If you don’t tell and I don’t tell, who would know?! Besides, with my dad around, even if someone knows, what can they do?"
The agent tried to advise cautiously: "We’d better be careful. You’re about to join the cast soon. It’s a critical time, and if it causes a negative impact, the director might replace you at any time..."
Already slightly annoyed with demonstrating love with Zheng He, Hu Yun now had even less patience and spoke irritably: "What’s there to fear?! I’ve told you, with my dad around, can’t you understand?! If you can’t comprehend, I’ll tell my dad right now that you’re not fit for the job and to find someone who understands human language to replace you!"
