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

After trying Xu Nianying’s phone several times without success, she had a bad feeling.
That was Xu Nianying didn’t want to protect her.
Hu Yun clenched her fists, as expected, she couldn’t rely on anyone! She had to rely on herself!
She put down her phone, looked directly at the police officer opposite her and angrily said, "I want to report a crime too! Chen Xixi’s father, Chen Youqing, was the mastermind behind a kidnapping case! My father went to prison for ten years, but the mastermind is still at large! I demand a thorough investigation! If you don’t give me a satisfactory result, then I will seek help online!"
We might as well all not live!!
...
The next day online, the news about Hu Yun’s collapsing house went viral.
[It’s a pity, such a pretty girl, could have relied on her looks but chose to rely on her cunning.]
[From the last time she hired a cyber army to rig votes, it was clear that her intentions were not pure!]
[Looking at this, Zheng He really seems like a good person!]
At this moment, Good Guy Zheng He was shaking in fear, he thought he was quite bad in this company.
But imagine his surprise, everyone’s collapsed houses made him realize what kind of wolf’s den he was in!
Hu Yun actually dared to spend money to hire people to ruin someone else’s reputation and even sought out the media to make it public, too despicable, he, a man, couldn’t even bear it!
On the other side.
Han Qianyi finally got a movie role.
But the movie was to be shot in a remote village in Ling City, under tough conditions, with a poor production crew that could not pull any sponsors, they were desperately poor!
Everyone else disliked going, but Han Qianyi volunteered.
She felt this was an opportunity to hone herself, even with many acting classes taken, nothing beats real-life experience to grasp more details and enhance her skills.
Thus, while other newcomers were comfortably attending acting classes, Han Qianyi packed her suitcase and set off to face hardships!
Before Han Qianyi departed, she and Chen Xixi had hot pot together.
Han Qianyi sighed and said, "I might not be able to eat this kind of food for the next two months, I need to eat more today!"
After saying that, she stuffed her mouth with beef.
Chen Xixi picked the well-cooked lamb into Han Qianyi’s bowl, "Where are you filming?"
"In a mountain gully in Ling City called Qingping Village, it’s said to be a very poor place, it takes hours by bus to the city, the crew is also poor, all the funds for the film were scraped together by the director selling his car and house, in short, don’t expect anything good in the crew’s accommodations..." Han Qianyi said with a bitter face.
Chen Xixi, while thoughtfully putting food in Han Qianyi’s bowl, spoke up, "It’s alright. When I’m free, I’ll come and visit, bring you some warmth, lest you can’t keep going."
Han Qianyi felt so touched she was almost in tears, "Bao’er, you’re so wonderful! But I’m just complaining a bit, after all, it’s the path I chose, no matter how tough, I’ll keep going!"
Chen Xixi suddenly felt a newfound respect for Han Qianyi’s words and encouraged her, "I believe in you! Keep it up!"
Han Qianyi picked up a beer nearby and gently clinked it against Chen Xixi’s glass filled with fruit juice on the table, laughing happily, "Let’s keep it up together!"
Then Han Qianyi discovered upon arriving in the mountain gully that the place had bad signal. She had thought she could chat and gossip with Chen Xixi when free, but now even that small joy was gone.
Chen Xixi didn’t receive a message from Han Qianyi until ten days later.
At that moment, Han Qianyi, unwashed and with unkempt hair, sat on the hillside, finding a spot with decent signal to video call Chen Xixi.
Chen Xixi looked at Han Qianyi’s messy hair and listless face, far from her usual delicate appearance, and couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, are you escaping from disaster?"
Han Qianyi waved her hand and said indifferently, "Don’t mention it, it’s difficult to take a hot shower here. I smell so bad that I can’t even bother to wash my hair. Then, the director said this look is perfect for the female protagonist in the movie; he even said it’s a guaranteed hit."
Usually, Han Qianyi would never leave the house without washing her face, doing her hair, or putting on makeup, as she felt it was akin to streaking.
But now, she has been forced to get used to it.
Chen Xixi nodded; she was familiar with the film Han Qianyi was involved in, which tells the story of a mentally ill village girl who is kidnapped to a remote area.
The plot was incredibly touching; even a tough woman like Chen Xixi cried two pounds of tears after reading the script and hugged Han Qianyi while crying.
Han Qianyi continued to complain, "And the director is so stingy! You wouldn’t believe how stingy he is! The food on set, you can’t even see the tiniest bit of meat, and it’s all various potato dishes. I’m almost turning into a potato! If there’s a second season of ’Saving Money Variety’, I’d recommend him for it!
But the craziest part, you know what it is? Our boxed meals are made by the director’s dad, to save on chef expenses!"
After finishing her complaints, Han Qianyi sighed helplessly, "But I can’t blame him. Our crew is short on funds, the director isn’t very famous, so it’s tough to get sponsors. Sigh... I don’t have high expectations now, I just want my salary to be paid on time, the movie to be released as planned, and my efforts not to be wasted."
Chen Xixi asked with curiosity, "Is your crew really that poor?"
"Absolutely!"
Chen Xixi thought for a moment, then seriously said, "I think that script of yours isn’t bad, why don’t you ask your director if he still needs investors?"
Light dawned in Han Qianyi’s eyes!
Having an investor meant having money, and having money could improve the crew’s living conditions!
Han Qianyi declared enthusiastically, "Absolutely needed! I’ll go back and speak to the director right now, and then you two can contact each other directly!"
Initially, Han Qianyi thought the investor Chen Xixi was bringing was President Zhou from Zhongjing Group, but she was confused when she saw Chen Xixi, holding a suitcase, appear in front of her.
Chen Xixi wasn’t alone; she came with that pink-haired handsome guy from the dinner they had the other day.
The pink-haired handsome guy had dyed his hair back to black, which made his rebellious, fashionable vibe diminish, making him seem quite well-behaved.
Han Qianyi stopped Chen Xixi and frowned, "I heard from the director you’re investing in us? Are you crazy! We don’t even know if this movie will make money, and if it loses, all the money you earned will be wasted!"
"What if it makes money!" Chen Xixi chuckled lightly, patting Han Qianyi on the shoulder with an expectant look, "So you better act well, don’t let my money go down the drain."
"But what if..."
"There are no ’what ifs’; you have to trust my judgment."
Seeing that Chen Xixi was determined, Han Qianyi didn’t say anything else. She turned her head and nodded towards Yang Che, "Then what’s he here for?"
Chen Xixi smiled, "Didn’t your silly younger brother run off? I brought you someone even more handsome."
A couple of days ago in a video chat, Han Qianyi mentioned to her that the actor playing her silly brother had ran away by night train because he couldn’t handle the harsh conditions, so now Han Qianyi was lacking a silly brother.
...
Zhongjing Group.
Zhou Jinyuan had just returned from a business trip abroad, settled his work, and had Assistant Xu book a flight to Ling City.
After booking the flight, Assistant Xu said, "President Zhou, Secretary Wang mentioned today that he received three boxes of children’s diapers, three boxes of teething biscuits, and three boxes of infant formula. He asked me to check with you if the delivery was wrong?"
Zhou Jinyuan, without lifting his head from the documents, said, "It’s not a mistake."
"!!!"
Assistant Xu immediately opened the office gossip chat group: "Good news! Comrades, our boss is pregnant! Such speed!!!"
