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

In the afternoon, the production team deliberately didn’t arrange any tasks again, clearly aiming to tempt everyone into borrowing first and enjoying later. Then, due to being in debt, everyone would work even harder to win points next time, making the game even more exciting.
Hu Yun looked at the somewhat empty and divided home, feeling very uncomfortable.
No one wanted their possessions to be taken away by others for no reason.
Fuming, Hu Yun blurted out, "I think Han Qianyi and Wan Chen are doing it on purpose! They must have colluded to target our stuff!"
At this point, if Zheng He couldn’t see the truth of the matter, then his brain might as well just be for decoration!
Sitting on the sofa, Zheng He scratched his hair in irritation and complained to Hu Yun, "If you had found my brooch earlier, all this mess could’ve been avoided!"
Mentioning the brooch search made Hu Yun feel a bit guilty.
After all, she had looked for Zhou Jinyuan’s brooch first and then sought out Zhou Jinyuan, completely neglecting Zheng He at the outset.
If she had known that Zhou Jinyuan wasn’t thinking clearly, she wouldn’t have wasted her time on him.
If she had found Zheng He first, maybe none of this would have happened.
But that wasn’t a reason for Zheng He to put all the blame on her.
Why didn’t Zheng He mention that he failed to find her brooch first?
A good-for-nothing, and yet he had the nerve to look down on her—it was just speechless!
If her stepfather hadn’t fallen from power, today, she would’ve made Zheng He realize exactly what he amounted to!
Thinking of her stepfather, she couldn’t help but heave a deep sigh.
It was all her stepfather’s fault for messing up; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so desperate to cozy up to a sponsor, enduring the cold shoulder, and moreover, not able to muster any backbone.
Feeling guilty, Hu Yun didn’t dare to continue the topic. Instead, her eyes filled with admiration, she smiled and said, "It’s okay. When the production team arranges the next task, we can snatch our stuff back! I believe in your strength!"
As if it were that easy. Just dealing with Chen Xixi alone was tough enough, and now with Han Qianyi and Wan Chen turning against them too, how could he alone contend against three?
Zheng He was at a loss for words looking at Hu Yun, unsure what to say, feeling she looked quite good but had no brains.
If Hu Yun had even a third of Chen Xixi’s intelligence, they probably wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now.
Then, Zheng He meticulously reviewed in his mind the main reason he lost to Chen Xixi in the reality show this time: he didn’t have a good partner!
It was all because of Hu Yun!
If it weren’t for his craving for some novelty with a minor starlet, he would have replaced Hu Yun long ago!
Well, what’s done is done. There was no point in just blaming Hu Yun now.
After mentally steeling himself for a while, Zheng He got up and headed towards the door, "Let’s go get some lunch first. We’ll fill our stomachs before anything else."
Seeing that Zheng He didn’t say anything else, Hu Yun thought she had successfully soothed him and followed him out.
Many things from their home had been taken to Wan Chen’s place, and with Han Qianyi taking a portion too, their once-rich home suffered a heavy loss overnight!
Hu Yun thought that since she wasn’t the one who had to repay the points, according to the lost items, she might as well claim another portion and continue enjoying herself!
But Zheng He had learned his lesson this time. As he watched Hu Yun instruct the staff to move this and that, he quickly stopped her, "Don’t take so much this time. In case someone comes to rob us again, we’d just be wasting our money for nothing."
Looking at Zheng He with eager eyes, Hu Yun coquettishly said, "Can I take some things I need?"
Struggling against a beautiful woman’s charms, Zheng He eventually agreed.
Turning a blind eye, he watched as Hu Yun took a pile of fat-reducing ingredients, as well as some unnecessary accessories and massage devices.
She really treats him like a big boss, spending his money...
Zheng He felt more and more that something was off, as if Hu Yun was shearing wool off him?
He can’t let his money be wasted!
In the next part of the show, he must get some benefits from Hu Yun!
Zheng He and Hu Yun’s family once again became wealthy, all thanks to Zheng He owing the show thirty points.
Having already owed eighty-eight points, what’s thirty more?
Now, Zheng He’s total debt is 118 points.
After finishing the luxurious set meal exchanged from the Points Supermarket, Zheng He said to Hu Yun earnestly, "If there’s another task tonight, we must protect our current assets. We can’t let others divide them up and reap the benefits."
Hu Yun nodded firmly, "Don’t worry, I got it. Our current task is to protect our home!"
Zheng He: "Right, exactly, and another thing, strive to win points."
He owes the show 118 points!
It would be even better if he could pay back less!
Hu Yun, looking utterly loyal, said, "Okay, I will definitely try my best to cooperate and win points!"
Zheng He was very satisfied with Hu Yun’s submissive and flattering attitude.
Little female star, hehe, easy to manipulate!
[Zeng He, hurry up and get to an internet café! Don’t trust this woman anymore! This woman, during the brooch-finding segment, was about to bring your assets to support President Zhou, so she’s long been thinking of betraying you!]
[Zhen He is still spending money on this woman, he’ll end up in big trouble sooner or later!]
[There’s no helping it, this woman knows how to sweet-talk, and she’s pretty, too. She’s got Zheng He spinning in circles, to be honest, if a female star tried to cajole me like this in real life, I guess I’d be head over heels and my mind fogged up.]
[Zheng He, you’ll eventually meet your end because of this woman!]
[Han Qianyi really didn’t let me down this time! She did an amazing job! I thought she really wanted to team up with Zheng He, but it turns out she learned the art of freeloading from Chen Xixi! Brilliant!]
[It’s true that if you hang around smart people, you get smarter. Well done, Han Qianyi! Keep it up! As long as she keeps this up, I will always be her fan!]
In the evening, Qian Yue brought the show crew’s troublesome ideas to gather all the guests, "Tonight, the battle for the rooms continues! The rules of the game remain the same—challenge the owner of the room you wish to take. The task has just one change this time."
Qian Yue smirked, pulling out a Gold Coin from his pocket, "The room owner hides this Gold Coin somewhere inside the room, and the challenging Guest must find it. They have twenty minutes. If they find it, they win!"
Hide the Gold Coin? Zheng He has experience with this!
Zheng He hurriedly said, "I have a request before hiding the Gold Coin!"
Qian Yue: "Let’s hear it."
"I must have the live broadcast turned off when I hide the Gold Coin!"
"This is a bit..." Qian Yue was in a dilemma; he needed the approval of the head director.
"Last time I hid the Gold Coin, it was because someone watched the live stream and found it, leading to my loss. If this time someone can simply search online and find where the Gold Coin is hidden, then this game is too unfair for me!"
This ’someone’ is known to those who watched the money-saving variety show as Chen Xixi.
A few seconds later, the voice of the head director came through Qian Yue’s earpiece, and Zheng He’s request was denied.
However, the head director also said that all guests must have their mobile phones confiscated when the game starts.
