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

No way! She’s supposed to be a decent, honest, and quiet little girl!
I can’t do this!
This is wrong!
But she has been decent for 23 years, wouldn’t slipping up just once be her well-deserved reward for 23 years of virtue and charity?
Chen Xixi squinted her eyes, peeking through the gaps between her fingers at the frosted glass door, watching the man’s distinct finger joints leisurely unbuttoning each black shirt button.
Just as the man was about to undo the last crucial button, he stopped, turned his head, and his eyes met with the person outside the door.
Chen Xixi immediately closed the gaps between her fingers tightly and shouted, "I didn’t look!"
It was her first time doing something like this, and she felt somewhat guilty.
After shouting, she felt a bit of regret—isn’t this exactly like announcing she has silver hidden here when there is none?
Did anyone ask her if she had been looking?
No.
So what’s the difference between this and incriminating herself?
Indeed, someone as decent as her can only do decent things and can’t hide her little thoughts at all.
Zhou Jinyuan, through the frosted glass door, heard her anxious excuses and smiled indifferently.
Afterward, he methodically buttoned up his shirt, all the way to the very top button.
He strode forward, opened the bathroom door, leaned lazily against the doorframe, and looked at the woman covering her eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly raised with a teasing smile, "Want to have a look?"
Chen Xixi’s fair neck slowly flushed with a suspicious red as she felt Zhou Jinyuan’s voice seemed very close.
She slowly parted her fingers again, and the scene in front of her gradually clarified.
The imagined eight-pack abs and mermaid line didn’t appear in her view because... she saw Zhou Jinyuan had buttoned up his shirt neatly, even up to the top button at the collar.
You should know that when Zhou Jinyuan arrived, he didn’t button up to there, stopping at the second button only.
Damn, her boyfriend is guarding against her!
There’s nothing more to say, feelings have dwindled.
Chen Xixi took her hands down and immediately turned away, "I don’t want to see!"
Zhou Jinyuan looked at the back of Chen Xixi’s head which seemed to spell out ’I’m upset’, he couldn’t help but chuckle, then he said, "You can look freely once it’s official."
Chen Xixi was momentarily stunned, oh, there were reserved programs?
Then Zhou Jinyuan’s voice rose once again, "You’ve taken all the advantage, what if you don’t make me official in the end?"
Chen Xixi’s eyebrows slightly raised, finally understanding what Zhou Jinyuan meant.
He was tempting her to make him official quickly!
But she was not someone to be easily tempted!
Facing away from him, Chen Xixi, with the demeanor of a decent person, seriously said, "You hurry up and wash, I won’t look at you. Later, when it’s my turn to wash, you also need to control your eyes. Otherwise, I’ll block and fire you right away, never to be hired again!"
Zhou Jinyuan’s voice carried a trace of light laughter, "Okay."
Chen Xixi took off her jacket, hung it in the closet, and lay down on the soft luxurious bed to browse her phone.
She had just unlocked the screen when she received a call from Zheng He.
Zheng He laughed in an extremely toady manner, "Xixi, I heard you’ve started your own business? I was thinking..."
Chen Xixi didn’t let him finish, cutting him off directly, "No, you’re not thinking."
Zheng He’s smile instantly froze, "I haven’t said what I’m thinking of doing yet!"
"What you’re thinking of doing is not an option."
Zheng He was discussing her starting her own business with her now, which could only mean he wanted to collaborate with her, or work for her.
For the future of her company, there was no way she would let Zheng He, this troublemaker, enter her firm and create chaos.
"..." Zheng He clenched his teeth, "Are you ditching me after using me? Weren’t we in the same boat?"
Zheng He, this shameless guy, was even trying to cling to her.
Chen Xixi slightly curled her lips, "I’m merely helping you escape a life of suffering. However, if you’re really having employment difficulties, I can introduce you to a better job."
"A better job? Where?"
"Go to Haisong Group and find Xu Nianying, you should be able to make a fortune from him."
Zheng He frowned deeply: "Xu Nianying? I have offended him, would he let me make a fortune?"
"No matter how you’ve offended him, just tell him you’re on good terms with me, and he will definitely let you make that money."
Zheng He was shocked: "Damn! I didn’t see it coming that you have such clout!"
Chen Xixi smiled: "Of course, you should go now."
The problem with their family could at most cost the Xu Family a sum of money, but it was not enough to completely take down Haisong Group.
Ao Long was Bai Family’s man, and now there’s tension between Bai and Xu Families; with the relationship between Zheng He and Ao Long also being tense, just need Zheng He to muddy the waters further, and the complete defeat of the Xu Family would be just around the corner.
Because she heard Zhou Jinyuan say, the Bai Family has a lot of leverage over the Xu Family.
If Zhou Jinyuan were to deal with the Bai Family over these leverages, he’d definitely have to give them some benefits.
Later she thought, there’s actually no need for Zhou Jinyuan to spend any money, just sending Zheng He alone into battle would suffice.
Trust in Zheng He’s ability to throw things into chaos!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xixi lay on the bed browsing on her phone.
Meanwhile, she set the resumption date for Han Qianyi’s movie.
Before long, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure in the corner of her eye.
She turned her head to look.
Zhou Jinyuan was wearing the hotel’s white bathrobe, loosely tied at the waist, with a wide-open neckline.
The short black hair on his forehead was not dried, and the messy ends had occasional drops of water sliding down, spreading from the collarbone to the smooth lines of his abs.
Is this the legendary Pure Bathing Wind?
Chen Xixi’s eyes sparkled.
Points added, definitely adding points!
To appear proper, she immediately got up and went to take a shower.
If she stayed any longer, her face would probably turn completely red.
After taking a shower, Chen Xixi saw Zhou Jinyuan sitting at the desk working.
Chen Xixi crawled into bed, only revealing her head as she looked at Zhou Jinyuan, "Aren’t you going to sleep?"
Zhou Jinyuan glanced up at her, then got up and walked to the bedside, turning off the bedside lamp: "You go to sleep first."
Now, only the desk light at the end of the bed was on, casting a faint glow in the rest of the room’s corners.
Chen Xixi watched the man’s profound features soften in the dim light.
Combined with their current situation, she couldn’t help but feel that the room’s temperature seemed to be rising steadily.
She pulled the blanket up a bit more, revealing only a pair of eyes, and whispered, "Then... good night."
As soon as Chen Xixi finished speaking, the man standing by the bed suddenly bent down, blocking all the faint light in front of her; her world seemed to suddenly be left with only Zhou Jinyuan.
Zhou Jinyuan supported himself with one hand on the bed’s edge and gently rubbed her head with the other hand: "Good night, girlfriend."
The low voice was filled with warmth, slowly reaching her ears.
She could even feel the tender smile in his eyes and brows.
The caressing gesture made her feel like a child, but the words ’girlfriend’ seemed to carry a flirtatious tone.
Her heart suddenly started beating rapidly.
Chen Xixi looked at him, nervously saying, "Can you please get up first?"
Zhou Jinyuan, noting something off in her expression, asked with concern: "What’s wrong?"
Chen Xixi held the spot over her heart, feeling the violent beating of her heart, and said with difficulty: "I think... I might have heart trouble."
"..."
Zhou Jinyuan smiled slightly: "Do you want to try taking off the blanket?"
Chen Xixi yanked down the blanket, taking deep breaths of fresh air, and said, "That’s much better, thank you."
Although it was nearly winter, the temperature inside the hotel was very warm; she had been covering herself with the blanket too tightly, blocking her nose and mouth, no wonder her heartbeat accelerated.
That explained why she felt so hot just now!
She had thought she was falling in love, but it turned out to be just the blanket smothering her...
