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

At this moment, Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi are enjoying a thousand-yuan-a-night room to their hearts’ content.
Chen Xixi didn’t intentionally break up Wan Chen and Han Qianyi; it was Han Qianyi who did not want her to leave, and Wan Chen had never cohabited with someone of the opposite sex.
The concept of a man and a woman sharing a room was something that the two of them simply could not grasp.
Moreover, Wan Chen took his family’s rules to heart.
Their main focus was the female market, and they couldn’t do anything against a woman’s will, or else everything their family owned might vanish in an instant.
Even though Wan Chen knew there was exaggeration in his mother’s words, he was aware that many people were eyeing the succulent piece of meat that their family’s brand represented at the pinnacle of the industry. There were countless who were green with envy, wishing they could monitor his family 24 hours a day, catch any mistakes, and wait for his family to fall from grace to grab a share of the spoils.
He had no intention of inheriting the family fortune for the time being, but he wasn’t foolish enough to just hand it over to someone else.
So, sharing a room alone with someone of the opposite sex required extra caution to avoid giving others a pretext.
Thus, the three of them quickly agreed and decided to switch rooms.
A thousand-yuan room indeed offered a broader view, more space, and better decoration than a standard room; this was personally verified by Chen Xixi.
The rich really know how to enjoy life!
Someday, she too will be rich!
She’ll be the kind of rich person who doesn’t need to lick the yogurt lid!
[I thought I was going to see something explosive, but this is it?]
[Deluxe double room: Is this how I’m supposed to be lived in?]
[Okay, okay, these two groups have indeed figured out how to properly enjoy a deluxe double room!]
[The four of them living together gives off the vibe of two couples living separately at first sight…]
Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi sprawl out on the leather sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, pleasantly enjoying the natural scenery outside—utterly delightful.
After slumping for a while, Han Qianyi turned to Chen Xixi and whispered, “Oh right, something just occurred to me.”
Chen Xixi slightly tilted her head, her tone lazy, “Hmm?”
Han Qianyi hesitated repeatedly, then finally stuttered, “It’s just… during the last Saving Money reality show, I received a message from an unknown number asking me to expose the scandal of your family… but don’t worry, I didn’t. And I haven’t told anyone about it – I swear if you don’t believe me!”
The reason she hesitated was because she feared that speaking out would make Chen Xixi overthink, suspecting she had considered exposing her and thus harbor resentment towards her.
It was not easy for them to have turned hostility into friendship; she didn’t want to lose Chen Xixi as a friend.
But she was also afraid that if she didn’t say anything, this malicious person might harm Chen Xixi behind her back.
It would be better to inform Chen Xixi so she could be prepared.
Chen Xixi didn’t press Han Qianyi on whether she had spoken to anyone else; instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “What scandal?”
“I was afraid of getting into trouble at the time, so I deleted the message, but I remember the gist of it.”
“Let’s hear it.”
Han Qianyi glanced at the camera installed in the room, then leaned closer to Chen Xixi and cautiously whispered into her ear, covering her mouth with her hand:
“That person said that your family colluded with other businesses to allow them to invest in expanding factories, strip other senior managers of their opposition rights, and monopolize the market. Later, they were played by capitalists, business failed, your family owed wages to the employees and absconded with funds; essentially, it was all negative things like that.”
Generally speaking, if Chen Xixi’s family had indeed been in business before, then they must have gone bankrupt, otherwise Chen Xixi wouldn’t be so poor.
Han Qianyi believed that much.
But owing wages to employees and absconding with funds…
If they really absconded with funds, Chen Xixi probably wouldn’t appear so obviously pinching pennies in poverty—there should be some ill-gotten gains in her family, at the very least, her family ought to be comfortably well-off.
Moreover, Chen Xixi is so popular on the internet now. If her family truly had a dark history, there was no need for her exposure; insiders would have likely already come forward to condemn.
So, based on all these deductions, that stranger was just trying to use her as a pawn with the intention to harm Chen Xixi!
Han Qianyi may play little tricks for her dreams occasionally, but if anyone thinks they can use her, they can forget about it!
Chen Xixi pondered for a moment, it seems that her family’s situation is not simple.
However, she trusts Old Chen, Old Chen is definitely not that kind of person!
Chen Xixi calmly asked, “Do you still remember that phone number?”
“I’ve blocked it, but I can find it and send it to you if you want.”
“Send it to me first.”
“Okay.”
After they dealt with the phone number, Han Qianyi’s stomach suddenly growled. They hadn’t had lunch yet, but luckily, the luxurious double room offered lunch service.
…
Meanwhile.
Zheng He and Hu Yun also finally completed their tasks and used 3 points to exchange for a luxurious double room.
Zheng He started feeling smug again.
Sharing a room with a female celebrity, who else could enjoy such treatment!
So, right after he swiped his card to enter the room, Zheng He asked the show crew for his phone back, then hurriedly took photos of the luxurious bed and the breathtaking natural scenery outside the window.
While taking pictures, he didn’t forget to include himself.
That way his buddies would know the photos weren’t just taken from the internet!
Zheng He sent the photos to his bros’ group chat, tagging everyone one by one: “Nice view here.”
One of the brothers replied quickly: “Where’s that, you didn’t say where.”
Zheng He’s lips curved into a smirk: “Right, came here with a female celebrity.”
“?” Who asked who you came with?
“Dude, Zheng He! Bring her out sometime for us bros to meet!”
“Holy cow! You got a female celebrity! Can you ask if she’s got friends, introduce them to us too!”
“Yeah, yeah, don’t forget your bros now that you’re doing well! Speaking of which, this dating reality show not only got you a celebrity but also a decent sum of money, right?”
Zheng He: “Not much, just five million.”
Look at that nonchalant boastful tone, everyone in the bro chat went silent because jealousy kicked in.
They fear for their brother’s hardships but also envy when their brother drives a luxury car!
Zheng He achieved his purpose, feeling an unprecedented satisfaction and smugness in his heart.
He thought it was enough, just about to lock his phone screen when a message came through just in time.
Zhao Xiaopang: “I’ve got a big business here, zero risk, high return, you in or not?”
Zhao Xiaopang was his childhood friend from the same village, very tight relations, only that they hadn’t been in touch for the last few months; before that, they were almost inseparable whenever they had time.
Zheng He: “Where have you been mixing these days?”
Zhao Xiaopang: “I’m abroad now, doing big business with a major boss! You coming or not? I’m here, guarantee you’ll make a fortune!”
Zhao Xiaopang: “I’m only telling you about this, don’t tell others. If everyone comes to make money, then we won’t make anything!”
Zheng He: “For real?”
Zhao Xiaopang: “For real, just hurry on over!”
Zhao Xiaopang: “With our tight relationship, I’m telling you this great opportunity. Luck isn’t even this good, it’s fate we’re going to strike it rich!”
