I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 172 - 166: Being Serious About Making Money is the Best Cosmetic for Men!
Chapter 172: Chapter 166: Being Serious About Making Money is the Best Cosmetic for Men!
Zheng He had used a newly registered account to join Chen Xixi’s fan group, so Chen Xixi’s fans were still unaware that an enemy spy had sneaked into their midst.
Zheng He started by using a friendly approach to warmly greet everyone in the group, pretending to be a true fan of Chen Xixi and becoming active to gain favor.
After successfully infiltrating the fan circle, he began to tentatively inquire if there were any volunteer activities at kindergartens in Hai City.
In fact, he could have chosen other volunteer activities, but after careful consideration, he decided that going to a kindergarten was the best choice.
Volunteering elsewhere would involve dealing with mature adults who were not easy to manipulate.
It was better to start with the innocent young cubs who lacked social experience and were much easier to take advantage of!
He thought that coaxing children was too simple; he had just finished watching Chen Xixi’s live broadcast and had completely mastered the essence of entertaining children.
Isn’t it just a matter of giving them a lollipop to solve the issue?
How easy that is!
Just hand out a lollipop and you can make a child stop crying and fussing, obediently listening to you.
Children are the most naive and easiest to deceive, just make sure to keep the children happy, then let them praise you to their parents to earn some credit for yourself, and when the timing is right, you can take advantage of the parents and maybe even score some extra benefits!
Like how Chen Xixi managed to snag a Michelin-starred meal, and before going to the restaurant, he saw Lu Ziqi get Money for Chen Xixi from his father.
He had no idea what trick Chen Xixi secretly pulled on Lu Ziqi to get him to ask his dad for Money for her.
He guessed that Chen Xixi definitely used some underhanded methods to hoodwink the child.
Otherwise, why would Lu Ziqi do such a thing without any reason?
Zheng He was replaying the situation in his head when suddenly, Han Qianyi’s puzzled voice rang out: "The child that Chen Xixi is looking after at this kindergarten, how come it just so happens to be the grandchild of President Zhou’s friend?"
Zheng He paused his internal recap, turning his head to look at Han Qianyi sitting beside him.
Han Qianyi had been sitting next to him ever since she finished buying him noodles, even occasionally glancing at him, making even his thick skin feel a bit embarrassed.
She really must be interested in him.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t she look at anyone else?
Indeed, the internet hadn’t lied to him; earnestly making Money truly is the best cosmetic surgery for a man!
Plus his super handsome looks!
Ha! It’s only natural for him to make a bunch of young girls fall head over heels!
He should get used to this feeling, for when he leaves the show, there will definitely be even more fans falling for him.
So what if his Jingzi vitality is at zero, he still had a horde of women chasing after him.
And with science being so advanced these days, he’ll somehow have children anyway!
Zheng He slowly calmed down, a smug smile on his face: "Isn’t that obvious? With all her little clever tricks, she must have asked someone to find out for her! How else could such a coincidence happen, that she just so happened to do activities with President Zhou? She’s just trying to get in touch with the sponsor first, as a double insurance for herself!"
Zheng He thought, his analysis must look super cool in Han Qianyi’s eyes!
But it was no use, he will always be the man that she can’t have.
However, he still rather enjoyed the feeling of being adored.
Han Qianyi still doesn’t know what Zheng He is thinking about her at this moment.
She was just too embarrassed to enter Chen Xixi’s live broadcast again after being accused by netizens of stealing Chen Xixi’s money-saving methods, so she sat beside Zheng He and mooched off his phone to watch.
Occasionally sneaking glances when nobody was paying attention, she kept tabs on Chen Xixi’s latest updates.
It wasn’t until she saw President Zhou of Zhongjing Group appear that she realized things were not as simple as they seemed.
But she couldn’t be the only one to feel that way; she had to find a way to set the pace for other people to influence the netizens.
Han Qianyi’s brows knitted slightly as she pretentiously said, "Don’t say that, I think it might just be a coincidence, right?"
Zheng He glanced at her, turned his body away, and replied to a message on his phone behind her back, saying, "You’re too naive. No wonder you always lose to her even though you’re both women!"
He definitely wouldn’t tell Han Qianyi about the kindergarten thing.
It wasn’t like begging on the streets; he wouldn’t feel ashamed of it himself.
Besides, he had wanted to bring Han Qianyi and the others along before because he thought the four of them could work together to take down Chen Xixi from the top spot, or at the very least, provide him with some money-saving inspiration.
But now, it seemed that except for him, the rest were just freeloaders.
Absolutely useless.
He had to rely on himself!
Just as Han Qianyi started feeling smug, she suddenly felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
But it’s okay, there were still six days left, her popularity was slowly rising, and she believed she would soon surpass Chen Xixi!
Han Qianyi’s eyes drooped sorrowfully, her tone helpless: "Yeah, the main issue is that I’m not stingy in my daily life, it’s really hard to be like Chen Xixi, always mooching off others, scavenging food and drinks, so I always lose, sigh, maybe everyone just likes stingier people."
[Han Qianyi didn’t mention, I almost forgot, how is it that Chen Xixi coincidentally encountered the program’s sponsor?]
[I suddenly remembered the guy who was talking to Chen Xixi earlier, that guy said Chen Xixi had no connections, indicating that Chen Xixi’s family background is really ordinary, and that guy also said that there are insider dealings in the production, with behind-the-scenes manipulation.
So I suspect, does Chen Xixi also know about this situation and therefore deliberately approached President Zhou to give herself an extra surefire security?]
[I don’t think Chen Xixi is that kind of person, if she really had such impure thoughts, then she should have wooed the sugar daddy with all her funds the first time President Zhou visited the program, treating him to a nice meal, rather than taking him for a free ride.]
[Yeah! Don’t listen to Zheng He’s nonsense, Zheng He is just Chen Xixi’s biggest hater, don’t expect to hear any good words about Chen Xixi from him!]
[So how did Chen Xixi become so popular despite being so stingy? How could her popularity be so high? Could there be some inflation in the popularity votes?]
[I hate stingy freeloaders the most, if there is such a person in reality, I would stay far away from them, I can’t understand how Chen Xixi can be so popular. It’s hard not to suspect that this is all scripted.]
[Have you been led astray by Han Qianyi? A frugality-themed reality show isn’t about who’s stingier or who freeloads, is it about competing generosity? If you don’t have the means, there’s no need to participate in the show, why maliciously question others’ principles? Besides, Chen Xixi might not be such a stingy person in private.]
The online world stirred up quite a storm because of the words of Han Qianyi and Zheng He.
Why stingy Chen Xixi had such high popularity also suddenly incited discussions among netizens.
Where there is love, there is hate, after all, different people have different faces, and everyone tends to unconsciously bring their own personal standards of judgment when looking at issues.
Adding in a small portion that doesn’t even watch the program and blindly follows the trend just by watching a few clips.
The situation now is that some netizens support Chen Xiaokou, and some dislike Chen Xixi’s stingy freeloading behavior.
Chen Xixi’s popularity votes today have clearly risen more slowly than before.
While Han Qianyi has risen to second place.
