I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 294 - 288: Did Those Two Cheat With Flash or Something?!
Chapter 294: Chapter 288: Did Those Two Cheat With Flash or Something?!
Chen Xixi’s eyes curved upwards: "This is because I saw you worked hard all day, you must be tired."
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled lightly, "Then thank you."
Chen Xixi waved her hand generously, "With our relationship, why be so formal!"
"With our relationship?" Zhou Jinyuan’s eyebrows raised slightly, his deep eyes revealed a meaningful smile: "What is our relationship now?"
"Good friends, good comrades, family!"
This time, Zhou Jinyuan showed a satisfied smile: "Alright, go wash up and sleep, good family member."
Chen Xixi also left satisfied.
Since she wanted revenge, the first step was definitely to infiltrate the enemy!
After she took a bath, she went back to her room to sleep, but she didn’t sleep well tonight, tossing and turning, plagued by nightmares, probably because she knew her family’s business was sabotaged by villains, she couldn’t help but think of all sorts of messy things.
Like how their family business failed, how her parents were targeted, Old Chen’s words that they couldn’t afford to offend the other party, it must be that he had experienced the ruthless tactics of the opposition...
Otherwise, given the straightforward nature of the Chen Family, they would never allow themselves to be slaughtered.
Just thinking about it made her feel like there was a ball of depression in her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Sooner or later, she would get this off her chest!
Meanwhile.
In the temporary recording tent set up by the show crew.
The main director, assistant director, and several backstage staff sat inside like grandpas, drinking iced fruit tea to cool down.
A staff member wearing black-framed glasses chuckled and brown-nosed, "The assistant director’s method is excellent, letting the guests earn money for our benefits and keeping the show interesting, killing two birds with one stone!"
Assistant director Zhao Guo smiled slyly, "We have plans for tomorrow too, let them earn more money to contribute, we’ll buy fruits for everyone then."
A short-haired female staff member cautiously looked at the assistant director and timidly said, "Shouldn’t we give the guests a share? After all, it’s the money they earned..."
The black-framed glasses staff lightly "tsked," "With just this little money, it’s not enough for so many people, we barely have enough to divide among ourselves. Besides, they’re here to record the show, not to enjoy luxuries! Just follow the normal process!"
The short-haired girl guiltily gazed at the fruit tea she just sipped, "But if President Zhou finds out... all the money he earned is being spent by us, we’d be finished."
The assistant director boldly spoke, "As long as none of us speaks out, how could he possibly know? And such a small amount of money, such rich people definitely won’t hold accountable! They’ll probably forget this trivial matter as soon as the show is over!"
...
On the fourth day of the live broadcast, before dawn, the crew sent Qian Yue to wake up the guests.
An hour later, at the foot of Cui Feng Mountain.
The ten sleepy and groggy guests all looked up at the seemingly endless stairs.
Zheng He couldn’t help but frown and complain, "This must be the staircase to heaven!"
Hu Yun was also full of confusion, feeling unclear, despite being sleepy, she thought the show crew was even less sensible, "Yeah, we haven’t even had breakfast, and you’re making us climb this? If you want our lives just say so, no need to beat around the bush."
Hearing someone agree with him, Zheng He’s complaints grew louder, "Even the production team’s donkeys get a full meal before working! What kind of show crew are you guys!?"
Qian Yue laughed maliciously, "Why would it be lethal? Our goal is to encourage the netizens in the live room to exercise together in the morning—it’s healthy exercise, not deadly. Besides, if you are hungry, there’s free breakfast at the top."
"Free?!" Zheng He’s dissatisfaction dissipated upon hearing the word ’free.’
They didn’t earn any points yesterday, now apart from Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, everyone else was basically broke.
Having the opportunity to eat a free breakfast was definitely something they’d go for!
Qian Yue nodded emphatically, "Yes! The first pair to reach the mountaintop can also earn Ten Points!"
Everyone’s eyes lit up hearing about the Ten Points.
Chen Xixi originally thought skipping this breakfast wouldn’t matter; she had exchanged some food ingredients yesterday, enough for them for the whole day, but with Ten Points at stake, she had to give her best effort.
She was thinking about exchanging travel cards and communicating well about ’feelings’ with Zhou Jinyuan.
Qian Yue looked at everyone who was originally sighing and complaining, now impatient, he spoke with a smile, "Just a reminder, in each team, it doesn’t count as a win if only one guest reaches the summit. Both must reach together to win! So, you must help each other during the climb, not abandon or give up on each other, to ultimately achieve victory!"
Zheng He waved his hand impatiently, "Know it, know it, let’s start quickly! Otherwise, I will be hungry soon."
He was ready. He must be the first today!
He would not allow himself to be defeated by Chen Xixi again and again and again...
And it was time for him to show the female celebrity his true capabilities!
Just when Zheng He was about to charge forward, Wan Chen suddenly patted his shoulder.
He turned his head, frowning at Wan Chen, "What is it?"
Wan Chen spoke seriously, "It’s best not to overexert with azoospermia, as it could affect recovery."
Zheng He: "!!!"
How could he have forgotten this! The doctor indeed had advised him!
Wan Chen’s voice wasn’t loud, and Han Qianyi didn’t hear what he said, only seeing Zheng He’s face suddenly pale greatly.
She asked Wan Chen curiously, "What did you just tell him?"
"Nothing much," Wan Chen said euphemistically, "Just letting him give us some space."
"..." Han Qianyi, seeing Zheng He’s ashen face, had a feeling it wasn’t that simple!
Qian Yue blew the whistle, and besides Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, everyone else began to energetically climb upwards.
Initially, Zheng He was affected by Wan Chen’s words, but later he held onto a hope – just this once, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?
In the end, his strong competitive desire overcame the fear of azoospermia, and he recklessly dragged Hu Yun to rush up the mountain.
While rushing up, he didn’t forget to turn his head to glance back at Chen Xixi, who was left behind.
Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were leisurely stepping up, their relaxed and unhurried demeanor, looking as if they were truly here for a hike and not at all appearing to be in a competition.
Before long, Chen Xixi was left far behind by them.
Zheng He felt proud inwardly – with this distance, even if Chen Xixi ran, she probably couldn’t catch up with them!
It seemed that Chen Xixi wasn’t as physically strong as Hu Yun and Han Qianyi!
[Zheng He’s team is so fast! It feels like Zheng He is about to win!]
[Xu Mu and Wan Chen’s teams aren’t slow either, feels quite matched.]
[Compared to the other four teams desperately racing, Chen Xixi and President Zhou seem like they’re here for a tour hahaha!]
[Don’t they need points anymore? Or don’t they need breakfast?]
[Don’t know, but given the pace of Chen Xixi and President Zhou, Chen Xixi and President Zhou are definitely going to lose!]
[Ah? Really? I don’t think Chen Xiaokou is that easy to defeat!]
About ten minutes later, Zheng He wiped the sweat on his forehead, stopped and looked back, realizing he couldn’t see Chen Xixi anymore.
The smile at the corner of Zheng He’s mouth became more obvious.
This time he was sure to win!
Ten Points were definitely his!
Another hour and a half later, panting and in a disheveled state, Zheng He wiped the sweat off his face and finally reached the mountain summit.
He had secured the first place!
But when he saw Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan sitting comfortably at the breakfast stall, leisurely eating their breakfast, he was instantly dumbfounded!
Did these two freaking use teleport?!
