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

Hu Yun bit his teeth in pain and stubbornly said, "What beating? Don’t talk nonsense!"
It was then that Han Qianyi noticed there weren’t any marks on Hu Yun’s face or body, which meant he was probably just shoved out.
Hu Yun looked at Han Qianyi and questioned, "Didn’t I tell you to bring Chen Xixi out and I would wait for you in the next private room? Why did a bunch of inexplicable people come into the room?"
Han Qianyi looked at Hu Yun with a clueless expression and retorted, "You’re asking me? Who should I ask?"
No sooner had Han Qianyi spoken when the police suddenly burst in and took Hu Yun away.
Hu Yun shouted in confusion, "Why are you taking me? I didn’t do anything!"
After Hu Yun was taken away, several men who were completely drunk in the private room were also taken away in succession.
Shortly after, Chen Xixi returned from the direction of the restroom.
Han Qianyi hurried up to her and carefully examined her with concern, "Are you alright?"
Chen Xixi stretched out her arms to let Han Qianyi examine her and comforted her with a smile, "I’m completely fine!"
Han Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. Do you know how worried I was in there? I heard the sounds of fighting outside and I immediately rushed out! If you had shown up a moment later, I would have called the police!"
Chen Xixi smiled and then reassured Han Qianyi a few more times, "If it weren’t for you, I might really have been done for today because after these days of being together, I truly consider you a good friend. If you had betrayed me, I might not have been so guarded."
Before meeting Hu Yun yesterday, Han Qianyi had already told Chen Xixi everything Hu Yun planned to have her do.
Hu Yun asked her to bring Chen Xixi out first, then add something to Chen Xixi’s drink, and Hu Yun would take care of the rest.
But adding something to the drink? She couldn’t do that—that was illegal!
And although she was jealous of Chen Xixi, she wasn’t ungrateful enough to repay kindness with enmity!
She reminds herself almost daily of who has given her everything and the opportunity to stand in Nanxing Entertainment—whose help it was due to.
Everything is easy to borrow, except for favors.
That was the lesson she learned from her parents.
A friend who can let her owe a favor is definitely a true friend who treats her well.
Everyone can feel jealous, but at the sight of jealousy, she would work harder, practice more, and train harder to win with her own strength—strive for it!
Not letting down Chen Xixi’s help and not disappointing her parents and fans!
After a two-second silence, Han Qianyi truthfully said, "But... to be honest, I’m a bit jealous of you. Does that make you angry?"
Chen Xixi’s lips curled up slightly, "It’s normal to feel jealous and envious if we’re competing on the same stage career-wise. I don’t mind as long as you use legitimate means to earn what you want on your own strength. Just don’t take shortcuts like Hu Yun. At least, when you surpass me, not only will I not be mad, I’ll admire you and learn from you wholeheartedly. There’s nothing wrong with that. I hope we can move forward together honestly and amicably in the future. Even if we have to part ways due to competition, I’ll still wish you a bright future because you’re a friend and rival worthy of my respect."
Han Qianyi pursed her lips cautiously and looked at Chen Xixi, "Anyway, we are still good friends, right?"
"Of course, you don’t have to overthink it. Who isn’t selfish in life? It’s fine as long as we don’t cross moral boundaries, like myself; I have my own ulterior motives too."
Han Qianyi asked curiously, "What are your ulterior motives?"
Chen Xixi smiled slightly, "I wish for all the money in the world to miraculously end up in my pocket."
Han Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh at that, "I wish for that as well, but compared to having a lot of money, I’d rather become a big star! Beloved by fans! My TV shows all over television! My relatives and friends praising my acting skills!"
Chen Xixi nodded, feeling that Han Qianyi’s dream was indeed commendable, "Once I have money, I’ll support you. You’ll earn money for me on the screen, and I’ll promote you to fame behind the scenes!"
Becoming an artist was never Chen Xixi’s goal; it was merely a means for her to make money. Her real aim was to earn even more money!
Investing is certainly the first choice, but there also has to be startup capital, and she’s earning that startup capital now. When the time comes, she wants to open her own media company!
Han Qianyi was ecstatic, "Then it’s settled! If that’s the case, I’ve already got an idea. I’ll write a script called ’Tyrant Bestie Propels Me to Stardom as an Actress, Fully-Funded Production No One Dares to Mess With’!"
Chen Xixi was amused: "You should become a screenwriter, although the title is a bit tacky, but the tackier it is, the more I like it."
"Hahahaha, I’ll do it once I’ve had enough of acting! And then I’ll tailor a story for Jin Cheng—a plot about an uncle and nephew vying for the same woman! I have a feeling that he always talks about his uncle, saying how amazing his uncle is, it’s quite possible that the person he likes will fall for the uncle he always mentions!"
Han Qianyi delivered her speculation with conviction, and Chen Xixi felt it was highly likely.
Chen Xixi: "Alright, once you’ve written it, the female lead must be reserved for me. I want to experience the feeling of being fought over by an uncle and nephew!"
"Absolutely! If I become a screenwriter, all the female leads must be you!" Han Qianyi finished saying and then thought of what happened earlier, she asked: "What was the deal with those guys just now?"
"They were people Hu Yun hired to harm me. I just spent five hundred yuan to get a waiter to lead those men into Hu Yun’s private room. Oh, and didn’t she also arrange for the media outside the bar? Hu Yun should be trending by now, right?"
Han Qianyi took out her phone and glanced at it: "Yes, she is!"
#HuYunArrested#
#StayStrongLittleZheng#
Both terms were trending side by side as the top entries on Weibo.
[Now, Dingxin Media really only has Zheng He left. Whether the company can keep going depends on this guy!]
[Hu Yun late-night bar meetup with multiple men? Impressive!]
[Wasn’t she in a relationship?]
[Hu Yun truly loves her boyfriend, worried that he’d feel cold, so she knitted him a green hat right at the start of autumn, such a Thoughtful girlfriend!]
After seeing the trending topics, the two held hands and walked back to their private room.
On the other side.
In the police station.
Hu Yun thought it over and was sure that something went wrong on Han Qianyi’s side!
This damn woman actually dared to play her!
Moreover, she was helping her, only to be repaid with betrayal!
But Hu Yun didn’t dare to tell the truth, as once she confessed, the things she had done first would certainly be investigated.
However, not confessing was also futile, because those drunken men were scared half to death as soon as they arrived at the police station and directly implicated Hu Yun.
Hu Yun’s heart raced for a moment, but soon after she regained her composure.
What’s there to be afraid of?
Xu Nianying would get her out.
With the Xu Family’s capability, it was just a matter of a word.
So she kept her mouth shut throughout, just waiting for Xu Nianying to bail her out.
But Xu Nianying’s phone just couldn’t be reached.
At this moment, Hu Yun was utterly panicked.
