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

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Did Your Uncle Steal Your Fiancée? It’s often written like that in novels. Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Did Your Uncle Steal Your Fiancée? It’s often written like that in novels. Chen Xixi watched the changing expressions on Zheng He’s face, her lips slightly curving upward.

She had just collected her delivery, and Zheng He rushed over to report it; such speed was almost excessively fast.

Moreover, the fact that her deliveries were free was only known to Han Qianyi; she hadn’t told anyone else.

…

On the third floor, in a room.

Han Qianyi was still guessing the origin of Chen Xixi’s cosmetics.

She had just seen several luxury brand logos on the cardboard boxes Chen Xixi was carrying.

Even a few brands were her favorite.

How great it would be if she could also have those cosmetics for free; then her on-camera look would be even more perfect!

Han Qianyi glanced at the time, felt it was about right, and picked up her phone to send Zheng He a message to check on the situation.

Before she could type, her door was knocked.

She opened the door to see Zheng He with anger in his face asking, “Did you intentionally make me report Chen Xixi?”

Zheng He hated being used by others, spinning around like a fool, and the feeling of being manipulated disgusted him profoundly!

Han Qianyi’s expression blanked for a moment, then she calmly denied: “Not at all, I didn’t even think you would go report her.”

“No?” Zheng He scoffed.

He had just recollected the message sent by Han Qianyi, and the words seemed dripping with sarcasm, hinting Chen Xixi’s items were ill-gotten; yet she wouldn’t admit it.

Zheng He: “If you dare use me as a pawn again, I definitely won’t let you off!”

Primarily because this incident made him lose a significant two dollars, which made him particularly irate!

Han Qianyi was really infuriated by this man’s senselessness.

Originally, she thought she could use Zheng He as a pawn, but he turned out to be a double-ended spike, stabbing others and then stabbing back at her.

This was truly a loss-heavy move.

With Zheng He making a fuss, who knows how the internet might be slandering her now.

[OMG! Was Zheng He reporting Chen Xixi under Han Qianyi’s instruction?]

[Gosh! Is Han Qianyi that clever? This doesn’t fit my impression of her as a saintly figure at all!]

[No way, is Han Qianyi really such a person? I always thought Zheng He was taking advantage of her; turns out she’s playing dumb to exploit?]

[Neither are good people!]

After dropping his harsh words, Zheng He left, but in less than three minutes, he appeared again in front of Han Qianyi’s door.

This time, however, there was no anger on his face; instead, he had a smile: “Could I borrow some toothpaste?”

He hadn’t performed his morning wash-up, always using Han Qianyi’s toothpaste in exchange for his soap for her to wash her face.

Zheng He looked at Han Qianyi, who remained silent for a long time, his smile becoming increasingly awkward.

He immensely regretted not keeping his temper just now, for impulsively risking losing Han Qianyi as an easy profit ally over a mere two-dollar loss.

But Han Qianyi, known for her good-natured demeanor, should be easy to appease.

Just as he thought so, Han Qianyi suddenly spoke, “Since you misunderstand me so much, I think it’s unnecessary for us to continue exchanging anything. Just use our own stuff.”

Then she slammed the door with a “bang.”

The suddenly assertive Han Qianyi made Zheng He stand in front of the closed door, unable to react for a long time.

Soap only costs a few yuan? But buying a decent toothpaste costs at least several tens of yuan.

Zheng He felt he truly lost out big this time!

It’s all Chen Xixi’s fault!!

…

Across Han Qianyi’s door.

Standing at the doorway, listening from the corner, Chen Xixi, listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but smile.

Han Qianyi’s trickery was exposed, now needing to buy her soap, and Zheng He lost four yuan and had to buy his toothpaste.

In this reporting incident, she was the ultimate winner, how could she not be pleased?

Stirring things up, who can’t do that!

After listening at the corner, she unpacked all her deliveries in the room and neatly stacked the boxes aside.

Before testing the products, she needed to grab some breakfast.

After washing up, she went to the congee store where you could drink congee for free.

The promotion at the congee store ends tomorrow, which is a Wednesday, just perfect! After eating, she’d go directly to the pharmacy for a health talk and get a kilo of eggs – a seamless sequence!

When she went for the congee, Jin Cheng also tagged along with her.

As soon as they entered the store, they saw Wan Chen, Han Qianyi, and Zheng He all there.

Not only that, some crew members from the program also came here and had two bowls of congee.

The lady boss felt slightly dizzy seeing a crowd that only drank congee without ordering anything else.

It felt like she was distributing relief food during ancient disasters…

[OMG! It feels like the congee store has become the gathering spot for “Money Saving Battle”!]

[It’s not just a feeling, it is!!]

[My goodness, the lady boss must be at a loss this time!]

[Lady Boss: The wool is almost sheared off, thank you.]

[If I were the lady boss, I’d go insane, really!]

[But this also counts as free publicity for the lady boss, I don’t think she’s losing out.]

Chen Xixi didn’t expect that so many from their show crew would participate in the free meal event.

She and Jin Cheng casually found a corner and sat down to drink congee, but the lady boss still noticed her.

The lady boss, initially listless, perked up upon seeing Chen Xixi and came over with a smile, “Beauty, your boss didn’t come today?”

Chen Xixi took a sip of congee and smiled back, “Yeah, he went back to work.”

The lady boss glanced at Jin Cheng sitting opposite Chen Xixi and cautiously asked, “Is this… your boyfriend?”

Once again mistaken for her boyfriend, Jin Cheng coughed lightly.

Chen Xixi hurriedly clarified, “He isn’t, I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”

The lady boss clapped her hands excitedly, “That’s perfect! My best friend has a son who just returned to the country, he is tall and handsome, do you want to meet him? Or maybe add him on WeChat to make friends or something!”

The lady boss had taken a particular liking to this sweet-talking young lady the day before, and just last night, her best friend asked her to set her son up with a wife, what a coincidence!

Chen Xixi smiled, “Thanks sister, but I’m not looking for a boyfriend yet.”

Jin Cheng quickly joined the conversation to vouch for Chen Xixi, “Yes, I tried to introduce my uncle to her and she didn’t agree.”

The lady boss glanced at Jin Cheng, “Then it must be your uncle who is not good enough for her, she didn’t fancy him. Finding a partner is all about finding the right spark; you’re just a kid, you wouldn’t understand.”

Jin Cheng: “…” If his uncle isn’t good enough, then there aren’t many who are in Huaguo.

The lady boss was so enthusiastic to recommend, and if she declined again, it could slightly slap her face, especially since she had been drinking congee for free for two days; she could at least give the lady boss some face.

Chen Xixi put down her spoon, took out her phone, “Alright sister, give me your WeChat and if I get interested in finding a boyfriend, we’ll contact each other then.”

The lady boss, thrilled to see an opportunity, happily exchanged WeChat with Chen Xixi and even offered her a plate of vegetarian platter and a cold mixed jellyfish dish.

Chen Xixi intended to refuse but couldn’t withstand the lady boss’s overwhelming enthusiasm, and eventually accepted thanking her, thinking she’d find an opportunity to promote the lady boss’s business well.

Throughout the whole crew, only Chen Xixi’s table had appetizers, do you know what that means?

It means everyone else was almost dying of envy!!

No one eats, no one craves, but once someone starts eating, others can’t control themselves.

Zheng He, who was nearby, swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but ask, “Big sister, does your best friend have a daughter?”

All the staff then spoke up, “Us too, you pick!”

Lady Boss: “!!!” Her best friend indeed had a daughter, but with so many male guests, it was a bit tricky!

On the other side, Han Qianyi had also heard about Jin Cheng introducing his uncle to Chen Xixi, and hearing him repeatedly mentioning his uncle, she couldn’t help but tilt her head and say, “That… did your uncle steal your fiancée? I read in novels that it often happens that way.”

Jin Cheng: “…I don’t have a fiancée yet.”

Han Qianyi: “Oh, then do you have a girlfriend? If you do, you should never abandon her casually. According to the plot, after you ditch her, she’ll end up being your little aunt.”

Jin Cheng instantly felt stunned: “!!!” Really? Could it be that melodramatic?
