I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 180 - 174: How Can You Be So Arrogant?

Jin Cheng clearly felt unclean.

He frowned, trying to shake off Zheng He’s hand, but Zheng He hooked his arm and led him into the banquet hall.

The property management staff watched in shock as the two left arm in arm, feeling as if their brains had sustained a heavy blow. Was this a scene they were getting to watch for free?

Once inside the banquet hall, Zheng He finally released his devil’s claw.

With a look of disgust, Jin Cheng raised his hand and patted the spot Zheng He had touched, as if he urgently needed to brush off some filth, then he coolly glanced at Zheng He, "Are you sick?! Who’s your boyfriend?!"

"Oh, isn’t it common knowledge that I’m sick?" Zheng He’s skin was already thick, and now it was even thicker from the swelling due to a beating.

"..."

Zheng He looked at him triumphantly: "Moreover, could you have gotten in without me?"

Jin Cheng gave Zheng He a withering look. If Zheng He had come even a moment later, he would have called Chen Xixi for help; why bother to this extent and tarnish his reputation?

That was just his bad luck!

Jin Cheng said, "Let me tell you, your current actions constitute fabricating facts without my consent, maliciously slandering me. I have already felt insulted and harmed, both mentally and physically, and I reserve the right to hold you accountable!"

Zheng He felt as if his heart had been abruptly clenched by an enormous hand, his eyelids twitching with panic and nervousness.

He had just received twenty thousand yuan in compensation from someone; he definitely couldn’t afford to lose that money!

"...Hold on, why are you talking all legal and stern?" Zheng He touched his nose and awkwardly smiled, "Come on, we’re good brothers, don’t be like that. Plus, look, I’ve brought you here for a meal, right? Next, I’ll help you win the red packets, and we split the loot right here, sixty-forty. Isn’t that delightful?"

The disgust in Jin Cheng’s eyes was undisguised, "Who wants to win red packets with you, and split the loot on the spot? Wishful thinking!"

But on second thought, how did Chen Xixi get in? Did she find herself a fake boyfriend to sneak in?

[HAHAHA Jin Cheng will never imagine that one day, he and Zheng He would appear before everyone in this sort of relationship!]

[They’re even talking about splitting loot; Zheng He is truly becoming more criminal, always skirting the edge of the law!]

[Mr. Jin, go ahead and hold Zheng He accountable! Don’t be afraid! Zheng He has Money, enough to pay up! That will square everything away]

[But lawsuits aren’t free, Mr. Jin has no money, and by the time Mr. Jin wins the lawsuit and gets compensated, the program will have already ended.]

[It seems Zheng He has come to terms with his ’dead essence syndrome’; Chen Xixi was right after all, there’s really nothing that can knock someone like Zheng He down!]

[Has Chen Xixi arrived? Her only potential partner, Jin Cheng, is already inside, so how will she get in?]

Jin Cheng and Zheng He, similarly puzzled, were also searching for Chen Xixi in the banquet hall.

Soon enough, they spotted Chen Xixi at a long table laid with various pastries.

There she was... both eating and taking!

Chen Xixi’s delicate white right hand pinched a piece of chocolate pastry, she bit into it gently and savored the taste as it melted in her mouth, the sweet but not cloying flavor spreading between her lips and teeth.

She didn’t expect the desserts organized by the community’s property management to be quite good.

She had thought they would be the taste of cheap cream cakes, having seen many property managements fooling residents online before.

Seems like the property fees paid by this community must be substantial.

After all, the wool must come from the sheep.

Free events may be free, but when you think you’re taking advantage of the businesses, they are also taking advantage of you.

That’s the true essence of free events.

Otherwise, who’d be the big sucker, Shancai?

Consistently giving away freebies would surely lead to a loss.

So, here comes the most important point, the key to freeloading lies in whether the person can control themselves and not become the lamb ready for slaughter, which is the essence of freeloading.

Why does Chen Xixi’s popularity soar in the show? It’s because she is a woman who has mastered this essence and applies it to the extreme.

Using this essence, she enjoys a happy life in the cost-saving reality show without spending much money, drawing the envy and following of countless netizens.

Exactly like now, after Chen Xixi finished tasting a small cake and found it to her liking, showing a satisfied nod, she took out a clean plastic bag from her purse and packed away the flavors she enjoyed, saving them for a midnight snack.

However—she wasn’t the most unique presence at the banquet.

In this community, although they were hosting a romantic Qixi festival event for couples, the young people who actually came were almost nonexistent.

Who, in their right mind in a relationship, would bring their girlfriend or boyfriend to a community property event for freebies on Qixi? That’s just asking to be dumped.

One week after Qixi, one might as well start mourning the relationship.

So, those who came to participate were still the group of elders who liked to receive free eggs.

On either side of Chen Xixi, the old men were savoring red wine, while the women took out their plastic bags and didn’t mind whether the food was good or not, they just kept packing it in. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

While doing so, they would chat and laugh with their neighbors, saying, "My grandson loves this!"

Another old lady said, "My granddaughter loves it, too!"

Two other old ladies chimed in: "My grandson loves it, too!"

As Chen Xixi packed cakes into her plastic bag, she said calmly and composedly, "I’m eating them myself!"

[Everyone is packing for their grandkids, but Chen Xixi is packing for herself, she really stands out, hahaha!]

[Hahahaha, Chen Xixi is kind of stubbornly cute! Another day madly in love with Chen Xiaokou!]

[Are we sure this isn’t a sunset-years dinner? Chen Xixi and the others really seem out of place here, hahaha!]

[They aren’t here to attend the event; it looks more like they came to stock up, right?]

[Sure enough, Chen Xiaokou, who’s taken decades less detours, just blends in with the elders at events! But then again, when it comes to being stingy and freeloading, no one can beat Chen Xixi!]

[She may be unbeatable in the stingy freeloading race, but now I’m a little worried that it’s all over for Chen Xixi. Zheng He has become the new thrift king, and looking at the situation now, I think if Zheng He isn’t scammed, it’s almost impossible for Chen Xixi to surpass him in these five days.]

[Alas... such a pity, five million is slipping away from Chen Xixi!]

Netizens expressed their regrets for Chen Xixi, who had been the thrift king for more than twenty days, and just when the end was near, her position was suddenly snatched by Zheng He, who had always been lagging behind.

They were worried whether Chen Xixi could bear such a heavy blow.

The netizens couldn’t help but lament: [Sometimes, hard work is worth nothing in the face of luck!]

After all Chen Xixi has done, she still couldn’t match Zheng He’s stroke of luck, it really seems unfair!

Some hopeful netizens asked: [Could there be a reversal?]

[How could it reverse? Even if Chen Xiaokou works herself to death, it’s doubtful she could save more than ten thousand yuan!]
