Someone wants to see her dead?
But sheâs determined to live a splendid life just to show those petty people!
Just so happens, tomorrow is the first broadcast and press conference of "Money Saving Battle," an excellent opportunity.
Chen Xixi didnât ask Zhou Jinyuan for help, but she responded to messages from Han Qianyi, Zheng He, Wan Chen, her agent, and everyone in the Sun Qian production crew.
They all saw the trending searches and wanted to help, but Chen Xixi told them not to rush, now wasnât the time.
On the night of the press conference.
The chief director of "Money Saving Battle" stood before the media, holding a microphone and looking into the live broadcast camera, regretfully said: "Unfortunately, one guest is missing tonight; we couldnât invite the complete lineup of guests."
[Oh no! Itâs not Chen Xixi, is it? She couldnât have really left, could she?!]
[Seeing the expression on the chief director, feels like itâs so.]
[Sob, hit me with some pills, I canât believe it!]
[Good riddance, no need to keep spreading the wrong consumption concept, what Money Saving Queen, if everyone stops spending, how would other businesses survive?]
[Saving money doesnât mean not spending at all. Besides, our purpose in life isnât to sustain businesses, it is to enhance our happiness. The person above is hilarious! Are you a capitalist spy or something?!]
[Was it the flood at Qingping Mountain? Alas... why go to such a place, had she not gone, perhaps she would still be alive.]
[My Xixi... Sob sob sob, without Xixi, who could teach us how to save money!]
[Is there a possibility that the missing guest is Jin Cheng? Didnât Jin Cheng go to Germany to wash dishes? Maybe his work didnât allow him to take leave.]
[Think positively, maybe itâs Zheng He, perhaps Zheng He got himself into some trouble again and is locked up!]
[Little Zheng: I thank you all, every time something bad happens youâre the first to think of me, you really spoil me.]
As the chief director finished speaking, all the media present gasped.
These past two days, the trending search was abuzz, and Chen Xixiâs personal account had not responded to it at all, even Nanxing Entertainment hadnât issued any statement. Usually, in such cases, the trending search is very likely to be true.
Such a shame, such a young and beautiful girl at the prime of her life.
The media internally couldnât help but feel sorry for Chen Xixi.
After expressing regret, the chief director smiled again and continued, "I wonât take up more of your time, letâs invite the guests of âMoney Saving Battleâ who we havenât seen in a while to come on stage now!"
With that, all media cameras quickly turned towards the edge of the stage.
Originally, not many media outlets were supposed to come to todayâs press conference, but many more wanted to get the first-hand news of the hottest topic, Chen Xixi, so the number of media in attendance suddenly surged.
Todayâs press conference could be said to be the center of attention.
After two months, the variety show "Money Saving Battle" has once again come back into the public eye, with the heat even greater than before.
The chief director must have woken up laughing from his dream last night; this level of attention, a stroke of immense fortune had finally come his way, and he had to seize it!
At this moment, netizens in the live broadcast chat werenât daring to leave for a second, fearing they might miss Chen Xixiâs appearance.
[If Chen Xixi doesnât show up today, then "Money Saving Battle" should be renamed "Life Battle"!]
[So excited! I hope to see Chen Xixi!]
[I believe that Chen Xixi will definitely appear!]
Meanwhile.
Xu Nianying and Hu Yun were also paying attention to this press conference.
In the living room of the villa.
Xu Nianying held a cigarette at the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on the computer screen, he glanced at Hu Yun and asked, "Did you set up the trending topic?"
Hu Yun poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Xu Nianying, admitting with a smile, "Mhm, since sheâs already dead, everyone should know about it."
Whatâs the use of a dead person taking up all those resources?
Itâs time to find a new face for the high-end brand endorsement.
After saying that, Hu Yun looked at Xu Nianying pitifully and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
Xu Nianying took the wine glass, not even touching Hu Yunâs hand, and lifted the corner of his mouth, "No, you did well."
Hu Yun was someone he kept around for a reason.
Having him help to send the president of Dingxin Media to jail as a scapegoat and letting him see a trending topic he enjoyed, Xu Nianying was quite pleased.
Pleased, he casually said, "Tomorrow find my assistant to pick one, see which one youâd like to endorse."
Hu Yun had already made plans, "I want to endorse Brand A. Itâs not only high-end, but it also allows me to shoot with top star Jiang Xingze, which would be a perfect opportunity to boost my commercial value."
Xu Nianying agreed readily, "Fine, have the assistant contact them tomorrow during the day."
It was just a matter of an endorsement, a word from Xu Nianying was all it took.
Hu Yun was overjoyed; Xu Nianying really doted on her. To be given a high-end endorsement so easily, and without even blinking - was this the benefit of having wealth and power? She really loved this feeling.
But Hu Yun wasnât here today just to chat and drink with Xu Nianying.
She had specially chosen to wear a sexy red dress, emphasizing her exquisite figure, and her makeup was carefully done as well; she refused to believe that Xu Nianying could still sit still tonight!
Mrs. Xu, she was determined to become!
Hu Yun took this opportunity to snuggle up to Xu Nianying, but no matter how she edged closer, Xu Nianying seemed indifferent, his gaze void of any lust.
How stupid would Xu Nianying have to be to feel anything for the daughter of a man who kidnapped him? If it wasnât for Hu Qifeng having leverage over his family, Hu Yun wouldnât even have the chance to be sitting here right now, and in fact, Hu Yun should be living miserably to meet his criteria.
Moreover, Xu Nianying had been with too many women; Hu Yunâs little tricks were no lure to him.
Xu Nianyingâs gaze remained focused on the computer screen, not sparing Hu Yun a single unnecessary look.
Hu Yun was growing anxious, but outwardly she cooed softly without a hint of her emotion, "Sheâs dead, whatâs there to watch? Even if you look at it, she canât come back to life."
If Chen Xixi and Nanxing Entertainment were still around, they would have refuted the rumors by now. Since there has been no news to date, Chen Xixi must have perished in the flood and they are dealing with the aftermath.
She bought the trending topic because she wanted to let everyone know the truth sooner, to see the results she desired as soon as possible.
After all, how could someone who hasnât been rescued for two hours, without any emergency measures to save them, possibly still be alive?
Unless Chen Xixi suddenly sprouted wings and flew away, escaping death.
Xu Nianying flicked off some cigarette ash and spoke leisurely, "Itâs more reassuring to see with my own eyes."
He hadnât heard the name Chen Xixi among those rescued; he didnât know if it was because they hadnât recovered the body or if they hadnât identified it. In any case, without confirming Chen Xixiâs death with his own eyes, he still couldnât be at ease.
As soon as Xu Nianying finished speaking, an excited voice from the host came through the computer screen: "Please welcome todayâs guests, Han Qianyi, Wan Chen, Zheng He, and our Money Saving King - Chen Xixi! Letâs give our Money Saving Battle guests a round of applause!"
"!!!"
Xu Nianying and Hu Yun, looking at the computer screen, were simultaneously stunned!
Hu Yun spoke incredulously, "The host must have announced the wrong name, right?!"
