I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 11 - President Zhou Goes into Business to Make Money?

"What are you thinking? Chen Xixi may not even fancy you!" Zheng He greedily tried to win, but he isn't blind.

Chen Xixi does have some beauty, and compared to Old Zheng, who's dressed earthily and vulgarly, she's streets ahead—800 streets, to be exact!

Old Zheng snorted: "Back in the day, I was quite the handsome hunk known across ten villages! It's just that my prime was a bit too short!"

Zheng He rolled his eyes and hurriedly got back to business: "You need to find a way to tempt her with money, let her earn money at your place. No matter what she does, as long as the job title holds, she'll be breaking rules and be kicked out of the show.

But you can't contact her openly because it's live broadcast now, she definitely won't agree, you have to secretly contact her, and then remember to leave evidence so we can report her!"

Old Zheng thought the strategy was feasible, especially since this vile girl had reported him before; he could not only get revenge but also help his son win, killing two birds with one stone!

"Okay!" Old Zheng agreed.

Secretly contacting her? Easy!

Anyone who participates in the free events at their store has to register as a member and leave their contact information.

He'll soon head to the counter, save Chen Xixi's contact details into his phone, and then vigorously lure her! Report her!

...

As Zheng He left the store, he stared intensely at Chen Xixi, who was enjoying the hotpot lamb, his eyes as sharp as ice chips, before finally departing.

[Zheng He's intense gaze, tsk tsk, was he almost drooling in longing!]

[Drooling? Forget it! I think he's more like wanting to toss Chen Xixi into the pot and hotpot her!]

To save money, Zheng He also walked from his dormitory, now having eaten nothing and having to head back the same way, he became hungry and thirsty halfway.

He stopped in front of a small diner.

Can't blame him, really; the smell of food wafting out from the diner was too tempting!

He was so hungry that he could only think of one thing: forget about money, let's eat first! Only with a full stomach would he have the energy to think of other things!

After hesitating for a while, he went in and ordered a plate of fried rice and a bottle of soda.

[Saving two dollars by not taking the bus, yet spends twelve dollars on the way home for a plate of fried rice and a soda, isn't that a loss?]

[Is this what they call ineffective money saving?]

Meanwhile.

After finishing her meal, Chen Xixi walked back to the dorm. She didn't see anyone else, and had no clue about the other three guests who didn't get the free barbecue.

Anyway, no matter what they did, tomorrow she could keep up with their latest status through her mobile, and decide if her ranking is under threat.

Chen Xixi thought this as she headed straight back to her room to rest.

Resting and gathering energy was the best way to prepare for tomorrow's Money Saving Battle.

Just as Chen Xixi entered her room, she took out the five hundred yuan living allowance provided by the show's crew, and then neatly folded the five red bills and placed them into her bag.

The five hundred yuan compensation given by Boss Zheng was scanned into her payment app, and she still had 484 yuan lying in her software balance.

Since she bought toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap on the APP, spending 16 yuan after the coupons.

She now had a total of 984 yuan left.

This amount was still not enough; the distance between her and the other guests wasn't large enough.

Once she grabs the five million prize money, she could offer her parents a better life.

As for signing with Nanxing Entertainment...

She didn't hold out much hope.

After all, one can't have their cake and eat it too.

Besides, the prize money could be pursued through her own efforts, but popularity votes required internet users to vote.

Rather than relying on others, she preferred to keep hope in her own hands; it was a more reassuring feeling.

Before going to sleep, she grabbed her phone and went on a killing spree on various APPs and major brand official websites. Half an hour later, she wore a satisfied smile.

At the same time.

The staff calculated and published the remaining assets of the five guests for the day on the public screen.

[Money Saving Battle: First place Chen Xixi, account balance 984 yuan.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Second place Jin Cheng, account balance 500 yuan.

Third place Wan Chen, account balance 488 yuan.

Fourth place Zheng He, account balance 485.5 yuan.

Fifth place Han Qianyi, account balance 264 yuan.]

[Chen Xixi is so awesome, she's left the other guests miles behind! This sister is definitely going to win the five million prize money!]

[Well, that's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard the saying, winning early doesn't count, winning later makes everything perfect, and the one who laughs last is the real winner in life. There are 31 days in this month, and they still have 30 days left!]

[Who is this second-place Jin Cheng? I seem to have never heard of him in the show?]

[Is it possible that he's the fifth guest who hasn't shown his face yet? He's really impressive, having spent no money in one day!]

[Wan Chen is also quite frugal, except for that box of the cheapest instant noodles he competed for with Instant Noodles Sister at noon, he didn't spend any more money.]

[Zheng He spent two yuan fifty this morning on a bag of instant noodles, he could have been second, but it's a pity he lost it on dinner.]

[Damn! How come Han Qianyi is left with only a bit over two hundred?]

[She bought makeup! This sister went crazy the moment she walked into the makeup section, if it weren't for realizing she didn't have enough money at the checkout and painfully taking some out, her balance might have gone negative by now.]

...

Jiang City Star Club.

Zhou Jinyuan sat on the sofa, looking down at his phone.

Around him sat several young aristocrats of the circle, each accompanied by a beauty, only his side was cold and clear.

Mainly because the indifferent and chilly expression in his eyes carried an indefinable intimidating aura, no one dared to approach.

The phone screen displayed a message he sent a week ago.

However, it hasn't been replied to.

The next second, two messages from unknown numbers came.

"I am Old Zheng from Fuxiyuan, I think you have a great image and temperament, so it suddenly occurred to me a mutually beneficial business proposal, are you interested?"

"I'll put up the money, you put in the effort!"

Seeing Zhou Jinyuan continuously staring at his phone with a complex expression, Lu Wenling couldn't contain his curiosity, holding on to a dark mentality of wanting a piece of Zhou Jinyuan's big news, he leaned over to take a peek.

That look was careless.

Lu Wenling planned to quietly watch and then quietly leave.

Unexpectedly, a "yo-ho" slipped from his mouth, and with a look of watching a drama and a tone dripping with sarcasm he said, "Has Zhongjing Group reached the point where even President Zhou has to personally dive into business to make money?"

From Lu Wenling's tone and expression, it was clear that the "diving into business" he mentioned wasn't anything proper.

Because 'image, temperament, and putting effort in business', these words put together made the already not-so-serious-minded Lu Wenling instantly think of some inappropriate stuff.

Zhou Jinyuan turned his head to look at him, smiled indifferently with a hint of coldness, "What if I tell Uncle Lu that the cherished porcelain vase in his study was actually sent away more than a decade ago, and what's in the cabinet now is a fake. Would Uncle Lu help me out for reminding him kindly, so I won't have to dive into business?"

Lu Wenling's dad adores collecting antiques and art, and if the dad knew that Lu Wenling shattered his porcelain vase and replaced it with a fake, Lu Wenling could be shattered worse than that vase.

Feeling harshly threatened, Lu Wenling's back turned cold, and he squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, "Look at you, we are brothers after all, don't be like this, just say whatever difficulty you have, Brother Lu will help you! No need to involve Old Lu."

Zhou Jinyuan uttered a lazy "Hmm", staring at him, casually spoke, "I just remembered, the precious bottle of red wine Aunt Lu treasured might have also been lost long ago, I..."

"...Bro, you are my real bro, alright!" Not wanting to suffer at all, the intensely survival-motivated Lu Wenling internally complained and then said out loud, "Seriously though, are you really in trouble?"

Zhou Jinyuan replied lightly: "The person sent the message to the wrong person." This mobile number was newly obtained by his secretary, and he hadn't told anyone else.

"..." Well, looks like there's no drama to watch anymore.

...

Boss Zheng, worried about calling Chen Xixi because she was busy filming and it would be inconvenient to talk, thus sent a text message.

But sitting on the toilet, and looking at the messages that still hadn't been replied to, his brows furrowed.

It seems this girl is quite cautious, he still needs to exert more effort!
