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

Chen Xixi’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Zhou Jinyuan, a person of such noble stature, was actually willing to cook for her, even learning how to, how could she possibly feel nothing?
Chen Xixi: “I can’t tonight, I have to go record a show today, and I might not be able to come back until a week later.”
Zhou Jinyuan sighed imperceptibly: “Alright, see you next week then.”
His girlfriend is so busy, but he must support her career.
Chen Xixi took the plate in Zhou Jinyuan’s hand and then, she tiptoed up.
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly felt a soft touch on his left cheek which then left as quickly as it came. By the time he realized it, the door in front of him had already been closed.
Zhou Jinyuan looked at the closed door and turned his head to chuckle softly.
…
Today, Chen Xixi is going to be a guest observer on a marriage and relationship reality show.
She didn’t need to do much, just sitting in the observation room commenting on others’ married life.
She didn’t even know, as someone who had never been married, what qualifications she had to comment on others’ married life.
But the paycheck from the production crew was too enticing to resist!
Chen Xixi just finished her makeup and arrived at the observation room, only to see two familiar faces.
Jin Cheng and Wu Jingjing.
Chen Xixi suddenly remembered what Zhou Jinyuan had said about Jin Cheng having a bit of a crush on her.
After thinking it over, she did not sit next to Jin Cheng as arranged by the crew.
She whispered to the production team: “Can I sit somewhere else?”
She should avoid impropriety appropriately.
To prevent causing any serious misunderstanding for Jin Cheng.
“Sure.” The production team originally paired Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng to create some buzz since they had a bit of a ‘CP feel’ on the frugal reality TV show before.
There was a CP voting ranking a while ago, and the two of them ranked second.
The highest ranking was of course Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, but President Zhou was beyond their budget to invite.
So they could only invite someone ranked second to stir up some heat.
Chen Xixi’s request to change seats was conveniently overheard by Wu Jingjing who had just walked over.
The corners of Wu Jingjing’s mouth curled up, it seemed like Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng fell out after the show, otherwise why would Chen Xixi want to change seats upon seeing an acquaintance?
Wu Jingjing, with a sneer, said in a tone loud enough for the whole observation room to hear: “If you don’t want to sit next to Jin Cheng, I can take that spot. I don’t mind where I sit, I’m not picky.”
With these words, it seemed Wu Jingjing was trying to paint Chen Xixi as not only very picky, but also as if she despised the seat next to Jin Cheng.
The celebrities and staff members in the observation room, who had not interacted with Chen Xixi, instantly had their first impression of her plummet, and they started gossiping secretly:
“I didn’t expect someone who seemed so down-to-earth on the live broadcast to be like this behind the scenes?”
“She’s gotten arrogant since she became famous. Now she puts on airs and looks down on Jin Cheng, who pretends to be a rich second generation by washing dishes abroad, right? I’ve seen too many stars like that! But I never expected that Chen Xixi couldn’t even pretend for a few days, opting to change seats right away, that’s some nerve, completely disrespectful to Jin Cheng. That’s just indecent!”
At this point, the live broadcast was also on, and the netizens found it incredible.
[What’s going on with Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng? Why doesn’t she want to sit next to Jin Cheng?]
[She despises Jin Cheng, who’s just a phony rich kid pretending to be something by washing dishes!]
[Chen Xixi is not that kind of person! When they were on the show about being frugal, Jin Cheng could hardly afford meals, and Chen Xixi didn’t despise him, she even helped him get meals!]
[But back then Chen Xixi didn’t have money or fame! Now that she’s famous, who knows! Besides, she’s now chasing after President Zhou of Zhongjing Group, even following him to the same neighborhood. This sly move is very in line with her style!]
[Indeed, people change when they get fame and fortune…]
“I don’t believe it! Chen Xixi is not that kind of person!”
“How did Wu Jingjing pop up again? Wasn’t she banned after offending Mr. Wan last time? Mr. Wan is not impressive enough!”
“It’s probably because Mr. Wan doesn’t want to be petty with a girl, right?”
“I heard that the boss of Tianyu Company personally visited with Wu Jingjing to apologize, and they settled the conflict by waiving two years’ worth of celebrity endorsement fees for Beile Group. Only then did Beile Group reluctantly agree to let Wu Jingjing off the hook!”
Chen Xixi was puzzled, thinking that normally when the Crown Prince takes action it should be a crushing victory, right? Mr. Wan’s efforts seemed insufficient!
Chen Xixi sneered and, looking at Wu Jingjing, deliberately adopted an extremely artificial tone as she spoke, “You may not be picky, but I am. I don’t just sit anywhere someone else has sat. What if there are contagious diseases?”
Wu Jingjing’s face darkened instantly, “I don’t have any contagious diseases, don’t talk nonsense!”
“Who knows?” Chen Xixi shrugged her shoulders and walked over to sit in the empty seat opposite Jin Cheng.
Jin Cheng heard Wu Jingjing’s words and disbelief flashed across his face. Chen Xixi didn’t want to sit with him?
Impossible!
Chen Xixi was so nice to him before, how could she not want to sit with him now?
There must be some misunderstanding!
And who is that woman being passive-aggressive with?
That’s his Little Aunt!
Is his Little Aunt someone just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can casually talk about?
Jin Cheng glanced at Wu Jingjing with disdain and chuckled, “You may not care, but I, young master, do care.”
Upon hearing Jin Cheng’s words, Wu Jingjing felt like she was choking, unable to breathe out or in, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Chen Xixi looked down on him, and he still sided with Chen Xixi?
Is he out of his mind?
Jin Cheng is definitely the ultimate bootlicker!
Wu Jingjing laughed angrily, “When did washing dishes also qualify someone to call themselves a young master? Or could it be that you have a part-time job at a nightclub, which is why you’re used to this title?”
A nightclub’s young master is nothing more than a fancy title for a host.
The insinuation was extremely humiliating.
But since Jin Cheng attacked her first, she couldn’t let the online viewers see her being bullied on a live broadcast—that would be too embarrassing!
Jin Cheng glanced at Wu Jingjing indifferently, his piercing gaze containing a touch of coldness, “Do you call on me often? Otherwise, how would you know so clearly?”
“You!!” Wu Jingjing was so angry she didn’t know how to retort!
As a public figure, how would she dare to call on young masters at a nightclub?
Wu Jingjing hurriedly defended, “I have never gone to a nightclub to call for young masters!”
Jin Cheng didn’t retaliate against her attack on Chen Xixi, and he also presumed to disdain her, a real piece of work!
And still calling himself a young master, truly repulsive and greasy!
It was her first time seeing a young master who washes dishes abroad every day!
This marriage reality TV show invited four recently married celebrity couples to showcase their post-wedding life.
Chen Xixi looked on with everyone else when suddenly the host posed a question, “What do you think marriage should be like?”
A few married guests answered the question first, followed by the unmarried ones.
When it was Wu Jingjing’s turn, she said with a smile, “It should be about two compatible souls providing each other with better emotional value in both spirit and life, achieving a happy and blissful marital relationship, rather than—constantly thinking about climbing the social ladder and marrying into wealth.
If your own status is nothing to speak of, no amount of scheming is useful. Rich people are not fools!
So, I think both in marriage and in life, it is most important to stay grounded. Use a lid that fits the pot, don’t indulge in wishful thinking and daydreams!”
