I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 289 - 283: Two Days Without a Hot Shower? That Serious!
Chapter 289: Chapter 283: Two Days Without a Hot Shower? That Serious!
[Is this something we can listen to?]
[The female owner? Holy shit! Is President Zhou confessing?!]
[As soon as President Zhou said this, not only did it stun Hu Yun, but even Chen Xixi herself was shocked, hahaha!]
[Chen Xixi: What did I just hear?!]
Hu Yun wanted to retort, but upon meeting Zhou Jinyuan’s indifferent gaze, she uncomfortably closed her mouth.
If it were before, she might have had the audacity to keep up the argument, but now without her stepfather backing her up, she couldn’t afford to be as wilful as she used to be.
All because of that damn Wang Quan!
How dare he mess around behind her mother’s back!
Now, not only has her work reputation been totally ruined, but she’s lost her backing too!
However, luckily, not many in the company know about her relationship with Wang Quan.
With Wang Quan’s fall from grace, she also didn’t have to worry about the company’s sideways glances.
But her future resources would probably not be as plentiful as before; she too would have to train hard like other artists, compete for resources, no more skating by, no longer able to pick and choose her resources freely.
As for her mother, her mother was also after Wang Quan’s money; behind his back, her mother had long been fooling around with who knows how many young hunks, so she wasn’t worried at all about her mother being heartbroken. She guessed that right now, her dear mother was probably gathering up the money, ready to make a run for it.
Hu Yun pulled herself back from her thoughts, taking a look at Chen Xixi who was standing behind Zhou Jinyuan, somewhat dazed.
She couldn’t help but sneer inwardly at the sight of Chen Xixi: that simple expression on her face, believing Zhou Jinyuan’s casual mention of ’female owner’ to be true. She guessed that Chen Xixi probably had no clue how her family went bankrupt.
Otherwise, Chen Xixi would never show such an expression. The Chen Xixi who knew the truth would only feel disgust and loathing.
And the Zhou family would never let the daughter of their enemy enter their home.
At this moment, Zhou Jinyuan’s words are probably just a tease towards Chen Xixi!
Silly Chen Xixi taking it seriously, how laughable!
So at this moment, it’s not her who’s been rejected by Zhou Jinyuan that’s the joke here, it’s Chen Xixi!
Hu Yun’s eyes flickered slightly, and her unsightly complexion improved as she put on a pitiful face and said, "Xixi, if President Zhou doesn’t agree, could you help me and say a few words to let me go in for a hot shower?
It’s a scorching hot day, and as a woman, not being able to take a shower is truly inconvenient... you’re a woman too... you should understand my difficulty and embarrassment... We’re all sisters here, can’t we help each other out?"
Nowadays, it’s popular to help each other as sisters. If Chen Xixi dares to refuse her, netizens would definitely lambast her!
Chen Xixi either chooses to be scolded or chooses to speak up for her; either way, it’s a win for her!
Immediately afterward, Hu Yun bit her lip, looking somewhat ashamed as she spoke, "Plus... I haven’t had a hot shower in two days..."
Chen Xixi snapped out of her daze, looking up at Hu Yun’s fragile and pitiful gaze.
This act might work miracles on men, but not on her.
From what she knew, Hu Yun was far from such a frail woman.
There is certainly something fishy when things are too abnormal!
So Hu Yun must be scheming!
Chen Xixi’s eyes widened, feigning an exaggerated expression: "Haven’t had a hot shower in two days? That’s serious!"
Hu Yun was just about to nod in agreement when she saw Chen Xixi quickly raise a hand to cover her nose and mouth, speaking ruthlessly:
"President Zhou, quickly close the door, don’t let the stench in! I was wondering why I smelled a whiff of sewer, now I’ve found the reason!"
As Chen Xixi’s words ended, Zhou Jinyuan very cooperatively closed the door.
Hu Yun stared at the tightly shut door: "!!!"
Who would stink like the sewer after not showering for two days?!
Chen Xixi must be out of her mind!
Just wait! Sooner or later, she will make Chen Xixi pay a painful price for today’s words and actions!
Hu Yun stamped her foot in frustration and left, gnashing her teeth in anger.
"Hu Yun just wanted to use the bathroom for a bit, isn’t Chen Xixi being too heartless!"
"Right? Why would a girl make things difficult for another girl? This round, I’m with Hu Yun!"
"The internet really has no memory! Hu Yun denied vote rigging this afternoon and you guys still side with someone like her? You aren’t, by any chance, being paid off by Hu Yun to whitewash her image, right?"
"Although Hu Yun did rig votes, she’s never targeted Chen Xixi on the show! I think Chen Xixi is a bit too hostile!"
"I heard from an insider that Vice President Wang of Nanxing Entertainment was fired and held accountable for breaking the rules, and this scumbag Vice President Wang is Hu Yun’s stepfather!"
The barrage of comments was too intense; this particular comment quickly got overwhelmed by others debating the propriety of Chen Xixi’s actions.
Inside the room.
Chen Xixi’s eyes and eyebrows were touched with a victorious, naughty smile, which she didn’t hide in front of Zhou Jinyuan.
Seeing her rarely show her true colors in front of him, Zhou Jinyuan’s lips also curved up slightly, "Happy now?"
Chen Xixi chuckled, "Sort of."
Zhou Jinyuan turned to face her, hands in his pockets, his dark eyes slightly narrowing as he looked at her for a few seconds before clicking his tongue lightly, "Why do I get the feeling that someone’s tail is about to shoot up to the sky?"
Chen Xixi draped a towel over her shoulders and clasped her hands behind her back, "Is it that obvious? Then I better hide it quickly!"
Bright lights shone above their heads as they looked at each other.
Water dripped off Chen Xixi’s long hair down her back, and an unidentified floral scent filled the circulating air. Her face was flushed with a light red hue from the steam.
After looking at her for a moment, Zhou Jinyuan took his hands out of his pockets, picked up the towel from Chen Xixi’s shoulder, and draped it over her head, covering her direct gaze entirely, "Hurry back to sleep."
After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom.
Chen Xixi took off the towel and returned to her room.
Just as she lay down on the bed, Zhou Jinyuan’s recent refusal to let Hu Yun use the shower invaded her thoughts.
Hostess?
That was meant for his childhood friend to hear, wasn’t it?
This can’t continue! Once the show is over, she definitely must investigate this matter thoroughly; otherwise, she would become the unwitting stand-in from a TV drama, wouldn’t she?
She refused to be that! It’s too undervalued!
If she’s going to be something, she’ll be a queen!
...
The next morning, due to not letting Hu Yun into the room to take a shower, Chen Xixi was judged by the supremely moral netizens.
The criticism was incessant.
Hu Yun was very pleased with this outcome.
She even made the next plan.
She wanted to see if Chen Xixi could still keep smiling after this!
Additionally, she needed to prioritize ingratiating herself with Zhou Jinyuan; otherwise, once the show ended, meeting him would not be so easy!
The task for the morning was simple; the production crew took the ten guests to an arcade.
Qian Yue stood in front of a row of claw machines, smiling as he spoke, "Today’s task is to catch dolls from the claw machines! You have one hour! Then you need to sell the dolls you catch; the team with the most money earned gets 10 points, adding better living supplies to your home!"
"Catching dolls is fun! I really want to play too!"
"It’s not easy to catch, and it’s not easy to sell, today’s task is too hard!"
"It’s said that claw machines are rigged, with set probabilities, though it certainly also requires skill."
Chen Xixi’s lips curled into a smile.
She was good at this! She loved playing claw machines the most!
