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

Zhou Jinyuan immediately furrowed his brow and quickly followed Assistant Xu to the police station.
Once in the car, Assistant Xu couldn’t help but say, “So the exciting performance was put on by the boss’s wife. But don’t worry, boss, I think with the boss’s wife’s intelligence and wit, she’ll definitely be fine.”
Assistant Xu had also heard some tales of Chen Xixi’s exploits on the internet, where she had never lost a battle, only making others lose!
Zhou Jinyuan didn’t say a word; he was thinking that it would have been better if he had arrived a bit earlier.
It’s all Jin Cheng’s fault.
If it hadn’t been for Jin Cheng not getting over that hump, always holding him back, bombarding him with questions about what really was going on with him and Chen Xixi and how they got together, he wouldn’t have been delayed for so long.
They arrived at the police station.
Zhou Jinyuan then realized…
Damn, quite a few of the shareholders and bosses he recognized were there.
Zhou Jinyuan couldn’t help but asked, “Are you guys holding a shareholders meeting here? Or did you hold a banquet at the hotel first and move to the police station for the second half?”
The policeman nearby replied, “Gathering for gambling, someone made an anonymous report.”
After hearing this, Zhou Jinyuan had a good idea of what was going on.
Because he was all too familiar with this trick.
Other than Chen Xixi’s handiwork, who else could it be.
But what Zhou Jinyuan didn’t expect was that Xu Nianying was also caught up in it.
Half an hour later.
Chen Xixi came out.
She was the one who reported it, and since she didn’t participate in the gambling herself, merely a bystander, she was released quickly.
Seeing the familiar figure waiting at the door, she walked up with a smile, “Are you here to pick me up?”
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head, his eyes filled with concern, “Why did you go in and play with them? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the lobby?”
“Xu Nianying insisted on inviting me, and I couldn’t really refuse him.”
“Good thing this happened during the banquet. What if he had invited you away alone? Would you have gone with him too?” Zhou Jinyuan’s expression gradually became more serious.
Although Zhou Jinyuan’s tone was the same as before, Chen Xixi sensed a hint of coldness.
Chen Xixi pursed her lips, knowing that Zhou Jinyuan was worried about her, reminding her to be careful next time.
She touched Zhou Jinyuan’s arm and deliberately spoke in a coquettish tone, “Why are you suddenly being so fierce to me?”
Zhou Jinyuan was briefly stunned, “I’m not. And don’t pull that act when I’m talking serious matters with you.”
“I’m not stupid. If he had invited me alone, I definitely wouldn’t have gone. He even offered me a ride last time, and I didn’t even get into his car.”
“Last time?”
“Yeah, he also told me that you’re going to be his brother-in-law, that you guys are family.” At the end of her sentence, Chen Xixi even imitated Xu Nianying’s pretentious demeanor from that time.
Zhou Jinyuan’s brows furrowed slightly, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t take it seriously, so I didn’t mention it.”
Zhou Jinyuan’s gaze fell on Chen Xixi’s face, watching her speak so nonchalantly, he fell silent for two seconds.
Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, just staring straight at her as if he wanted to perceive something from her face, she raised her hand to touch her cheek and asked in confusion, “Is there something on my face?”
Zhou Jinyuan lowered his eyelashes and sighed softly after a while, “No.”
She asked again, “You don’t like that act I did just now?”
Zhou Jinyuan glanced at her, immediately understanding which act she was referring to.
It was what she had said earlier in her coquettish voice.
He said, “I like it, but you better not use it.”
Chen Xixi tilted her head in thought.
He likes it but doesn’t allow it to be used, isn’t that contradictory?
Then Zhou Jinyuan didn’t give her a chance to question back, half-hugging her waist and leading her outside the police station.
Chen Xixi: “Where are we going?”
“Taking you home.”
…
The next morning, as soon as Xu Nianying got out of the police station, he received a call from his assistant.
Xu Nianying rubbed his forehead and spoke irritably, “What now!”
The assistant spoke anxiously, “President Xu, something terrible has happened! Zhongjing Group just announced the termination of all collaboration with our company!”
Xu Nianying instantly became alert!
“What did you say?!”
The assistant quickly repeated what had just been said: “This incident has already hit the trending searches. Many of our ongoing projects have been forced into a halt because our business partners are awaiting developments after seeing the trending news, hesitant about whether to continue their collaboration with us.”
With a leading enterprise like Zhongjing Group withdrawing, other small and medium-sized enterprises are even less willing to take risks.
Xu Nianying gritted her teeth, “Has Zhou Jinyuan lost his mind?! Unilaterally terminating the contract, his losses are no less than ours!”
The penalty fees alone were multiplied by several zeros!
Assistant: “I can’t understand Zhongjing Group’s behavior of injuring the enemy while suffering equal losses.”
Xu Nianying closed her eyes for a moment, calming her emotions, then said, “You go talk to Zhongjing Group first and see if there is any chance of reconciliation. If it can’t be salvaged, tell me, and I will go there myself.”
“Understood, President Xu.”
“Any news on Xu Mu?”
“The young master was last seen yesterday morning at Jiang City Airport.”
“The airport? Where did he go?”
“To Morton City. We haven’t found him yet.”
Xu Nianying wondered, what was that brat doing in that godforsaken place?
Morton City.
The brat Xu Nianying was puzzled about was currently keeping company with Zheng He in a dark and damp basement.
Brother Ao Long was stunned when he saw Xu Mu, “How is it you again?! Did you call the cops?”
“No.” Xu Mu glared at Zheng He with resentment.
He hadn’t expected that Zheng He, that big idiot, would target him!
Zheng He chuckled, “It was too lonely being here by myself, so I called you over.”
The day before yesterday, Brother Ao Long had him continue to call Zhou Jinyuan, but he really couldn’t make the call, doing so would give it all away.
Luckily, Xu Mu’s phone was switched off and the call didn’t go through, so he was fortunate to live another day.
Then yesterday morning, Brother Ao Long pressed him again. With no choice left, he had to keep calling Xu Mu in Brother Ao Long’s presence.
This time, the call connected.
Afraid that Xu Mu would talk too much and give them away, Zheng He took the initiative and directed Xu Mu to Morton City Airport, claiming it was about something very important concerning his future, then hung up the call.
Brother Ao Long didn’t understand Zheng He’s actions.
Zheng He defended himself righteously: “Since you don’t trust me, isn’t it easier to convince you by bringing him over directly?”
Makes sense.
Then the guy Brother Ao Long’s lackey brought over was Xu Mu.
Zheng He thought since Xu Family and Brother Ao Long’s people were in cahoots, Xu Mu’s words should carry some weight, right?
After that last incident, Brother Ao Long surely knew Xu Mu’s identity.
By bringing Xu Mu over, maybe he could save his own life again?
Who knew that Brother Ao Long wouldn’t give any face, and just had people tie up Xu Mu.
Zheng He was shocked watching this!
What, even their own people were taking action?!
Brother Ao Long was already unhappy about being put in jail last time! That incident made him lose a lot of face in front of his men!
Now that Xu Mu was in his hands, how could he let him off easily?
Besides, in their line of work, nothing mattered but money; that was the rule of the Bai Family.
Cooperation doesn’t matter, only money does!
Brother Ao Long grabbed Xu Mu by the collar and said coldly, “Call your family to bring the money! Otherwise, we tear up the ticket!”
If Xu Mu had a family, he wouldn’t be on the run.
He knew without thinking that if he called home now, they would choose to tear up the ticket…
His family wouldn’t care if he was dead or alive, who would bring him money?
Xu Mu looked down, speaking in despair, “Just tear up the ticket!”
Hearing this, Zheng He urgently yelled in panic, “Don’t, brother!”
