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

Being laughed at is a no-go…
Wasn’t that the incident from the guesthouse last time?
The man who lasted less than ten minutes.
Chen Xixi’s earlobes flushed slightly as she hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand, I was asking how long you can keep trending on social media.”
Zhou Jinyuan appeared unfazed, seemingly open and honest, “Hmmm, I know.”
The front desk returned the deposit to Chen Xixi, who put the money in her bag and then lightly “coughed” to change the subject, “Are you here for business?”
“Yeah, what about you? What brings you here?”
Chen Xixi said with a smile, “Nothing much, just here for tourism.”
“Have you eaten yet? Want to have a meal together?”
Normally, she wouldn’t refuse, but with Aunt Zhen’s thirty million in mind, she couldn’t refuse even more!
Why wouldn’t one eat a lunch paid for by a capitalist? Plus, someone offered to pay her to dine with Zhou Jinyuan—she’d go no matter what!
“I’m good with anything,” said Chen Xixi.
Twenty minutes later, in the restaurant’s private room on the top floor of the hotel.
Chen Xixi unapologetically devoured two large servings.
Having accomplished a significant deed today, she felt an exceptional appetite and found everything delicious.
After eating her fill, Chen Xixi remembered the important matter at hand and looked earnestly at Zhou Jinyuan sitting across from her, starting, “How can you be so sure we’ve known each other since childhood? Can you give me a hint? Otherwise, I always feel like I’m stealing someone else’s identity, enjoying what’s theirs…like every time I’m with you, I strangely feel like I’m impersonating someone.”
Chen Xixi couldn’t keep it to herself; it was too unbearable, this question had troubled her for days, and she very much wanted an answer.
She wanted to know if she was indeed occupying someone else’s place, enjoying what belonged to someone else.
She didn’t want misunderstandings to cause unnecessary trouble.
If it affected someone’s childhood friend, their puppy love, talking about love—what a great offense that would be.
“My birthday is the day after tomorrow, you’ll know if you come.”
Zhou Jinyuan picked up his phone and sent Chen Xixi an address.
Chen Xixi looked at it, “Is this the address for the birthday party?”
“It’s my home address.”
“Going to your home for the birthday?”
“Yeah, you’ll know everything you want to by then.”
Chen Xixi was intrigued.
She’ll know everything she wanted to.
This statement was too tempting.
She couldn’t wait to fly to his house right now and figure everything out.
Chen Xixi had a sudden idea and blurted out, “How about we move your birthday forward? How about celebrating it today? I think today is a good day; anything I wish for will come true!”
Zhou Jinyuan: “It’s a pity, I have work today.”
Alright, the busy big CEO, she’d use her little patience and wait two more days.
Chen Xixi hung her head, covering the spot on her chest, looking lifeless, obviously lacking her former energy.
Zhou Jinyuan noticed her change, “Feeling unwell?”
Chen Xixi pretended to be in agony, weakly said, “I’m fine, it’s just that it feels like there are ten thousand ants crawling in my heart, it’s unpleasantly itchy, but it’s fine, it might get better the day after tomorrow.”
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head and chuckled quietly for a long time.
After lunch, Zhou Jinyuan went off to conduct his business, and Chen Xixi bought a return flight ticket.
Even though she didn’t get the answers she wanted, at least she got a free lunch, so it wasn’t a loss.
Chen Xixi had just boarded the plane when Zheng He called her, but unfortunately, she had already turned off her phone.
Zheng He was furious, he felt that Chen Xixi took his money and ran away, it’s a fraud! This is definitely a fraud!
Chen Xixi bought an economy class ticket; coincidentally, the person sitting next to her was Hu Yun.
Hu Yun, seeing Chen Xixi, inexplicably got angry; in the variety show, always stealing the spotlight, and still not knowing what tactics she used to bewitch President Zhou.
And she just found out, the supporting female role originally hers had now been changed to Chen Xixi.
Hu Yun was originally going to join the crew, but then was told her role had been switched; it was only through insider inquiry she learned the role had been changed to Chen Xixi.
Hu Yun’s eyes seemed to hide knives, she snorted coldly: “Feel accomplished stealing other people’s roles, huh?”
“??” Chen Xixi didn’t understand, but she could tell Hu Yun seemed to have lost her job. She tilted her hat up a bit, turned her head to look at Hu Yun, and sneered, “Big sister, can you not throw a fit here? Only those without true skills get replaced; spend more time reflecting on yourself.”
“Isn’t it just climbing up by hanging on to men? You really think you can do whatever you want just by relying on President Lu and President Zhou?”
“Being able to rely on men is also a kind of ability; if you’re capable, go ahead and try. But I don’t need to because I have my own skills.”
Chen Xixi currently has tens of millions of followers on Weibo, extremely popular, arguably the hottest artist at the moment; with her current popularity and commercial value, she indeed does not need to rely on men, as agencies and sponsors are eager to offer her resources.
“I would never rely on men!” Hu Yun grew angrier the more she looked at Chen Xixi and after a stiff two minutes, hit the button on top, calling the flight attendant, “I want to upgrade!”
Sitting next to Chen Xixi just worsened her mood.
Before Hu Yun left, she gave Chen Xixi a fierce glare.
Chen Xixi took off her hat, covered her face with it, closed her eyes to sleep, let her upgrade if she wants, what does it have to do with me ascending to heaven?
Right now, she just wants to make money, then take down the Xu Family, and vindicate her family’s Old Chen.
Hu Yun’s upgrade wasn’t for naught, just as she went in, she saw Xu Nianying just coming in.
Ah, Xu Nianying, the Crown Prince of Haisong Group, just being all over the internet, having dismantled a fraud ring.
He’s handsome, wealthy, and notably righteous and low-profile.
Such a man, even if he can’t be a husband, being a financial backer isn’t bad!
…
The plane landed.
Chen Xixi returned to the company dormitory.
That night, her manager Li Jia sent her a schedule table.
Chen Xixi looked at the densely packed schedule, her vision darkening, realizing that making money as an artist isn’t easy, and she still has to work every day.
Endorsements, joining the crew, filming adverts, guest appearances on variety shows, and more.
Her eyes just scanned through a few lines, then suddenly stopped.
Is there a jewelry show the night after tomorrow?
She quickly messaged Li Jia: “Can I take leave for the jewelry show the night after tomorrow? I have something important.”
She had already promised Zhou Jinyuan, she can’t break her promise.
And that answer is very important to her too.
Li Jia: “Not really feasible, Bao’er, the show is hosted jointly by several luxury brands, many stars want to come but can’t, I really struggled to get you this opportunity. Plus, there’ll be many bosses there, let’s go and broaden our horizons, expand our network.”
Chen Xixi: “How many hours will it last?”
Li Jia: “Depends, quickly maybe two hours, otherwise three to four hours.”
If it doesn’t work out, she’ll go celebrate Zhou Jinyuan’s birthday in the morning.
Perfect solution, Chen Xixi opened the trending search, noticed Xu Nianying is still hanging online.
Until the evening of the next day, Xu Nianying was still trending online.
Then, Chen Xixi received a message from Zhou Jinyuan: “Two days and two nights, how’s the stamina?”
Chen Xixi’s lips curled up: “Not bad, I’m quite satisfied.”
Right after Zhou Jinyuan sent the message to Chen Xixi, Xu Nianying’s call came in.
Xu Nianying let out a resigned sigh and nearly grinding his teeth said: “Brother, I’m concerned about you, yet you hang me up online? Is that appropriate?”
