I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 214 - 208: Does Chen Xixi Use Loan Apps?

Han Qianyi was afraid of being spotted by eagle-eyed netizens, so she deliberately covered the camera with her hand.

After carefully reading the message sent by the other party, her expression grew increasingly complex.

After reading it, she did not delete the message, nor did she reply immediately.

She remained silent for a long while, her wavering gaze finally landing on the rolled-up painting.

When Chen Xixi gave her the painting last night, she also mentioned that her dance was great.

Was that genuinely praising her, appreciating her, acknowledging her strength, or just a condescending comfort from a victor, subtly mocking her and not taking her seriously as a competitor, thus generously gifting her the painting and complimenting her?

Or, as Zheng He suggested, was Chen Xixi just trying to gain her favor so she would feel awkward competing against her?

Actually, when she received the painting last night, she was very happy, especially after receiving Chen Xixi’s compliment, her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time. Nobody dislikes being recognized, especially by a competitor.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Qianyi asked, "Why don’t you look for Zheng He?"

She didn’t believe that the sender wanted her to win; she felt that the sender had a grudge against Chen Xixi, thus the disclosure.

But in this show, the more suitable person for disclosures should be Zheng He, who has always targeted Chen Xixi.

Unknown number: "He’s too stupid."

"..." Very convincing.

Zheng He is the type of villain who would be despised by other villains.

Han Qianyi did not reply to the sender; after a period of silence, she turned to her social media platform, politely replied to all the entertainment companies that had messaged her privately, and noted down the contact information of each company.

...

Chen Xixi’s Weibo also had many fans wanting to book portraits, and there were inquiries about how much it would cost to obtain a portrait.

Chen Xixi couldn’t help but sigh that appearing on the show indeed provided better exposure.

Previously, she had traveled around to sell her paintings, but her sales couldn’t even cover the cost of her art supplies.

The show had only been running for a few days, and relying on selling paintings for income was no longer feasible; there was too much preparation involved, and transactions were cumbersome. Online transactions would take at least three days before the money could be transferred to her account, which, under current circumstances, was as good as doing fruitless labor.

It wasn’t entirely fruitless labor, but it didn’t help much with her pursuit of the five million prize money.

Chen Xixi could only temporarily put aside the portrait bookings and focus on what she could manage in the following days, which would benefit her chances of winning.

...

Just after Han Qianyi finished replying to her messages, she noticed some movement on Chen Xixi’s side. She looked up and saw Chen Xixi packing brand-name skincare products into her bag, her lips instantly drooping.

She looked at the skincare samples she had spent 600 yuan on and then at the full-sized skincare products that Chen Xixi received for free from the merchants. Inevitably, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Both were filming the same show, but the difference in treatment was massive. To say that Han Qianyi wasn’t jealous at all would be impossible.

Also, the matter of Chen Xixi painting last night, although their showcased talents were different, Chen Xixi painting her and generously gifting her the painting won the favor of many netizens.

People praised Chen Xixi for her magnanimity, saying she could even make her competitor look so beautiful.

With her soaring popularity, the topic of Chen Xixi painting was definitely hotter than her dancing.

In every aspect, she was overshadowed by Chen Xixi...

Suddenly, Han Qianyi felt like there was a suffocating pressure in her chest with nowhere to vent.

Then, she saw Chen Xixi leaving the apartment; standing on the spacious living room balcony, she saw Chen Xixi collecting a large pile of parcels at the apartment’s entrance...thinking she had seen wrong, she immediately rubbed her eyes...but no, it was indeed a large pile of parcels!

"""

[Holy shit! What did Chen Xixi buy again? Why did she buy so much? The show is about to end, what does she need all these things for? Is she planning to settle down in the show?]

[It must be the stuff she bought online a few days ago that’s arrived.]

[But her funds haven’t decreased? What’s going on? Could it be another zero-cost purchase?]

[Who has access to that kind of deal! Tell me quick! I really need it!!]

At the entrance of the apartment, Chen Xixi, holding a bunch of parcels, walked to the gazebo and sat down, then started to open the parcels one by one.

[What is that, why did she buy a bunch of balloons?]

[Looks like a bunch of toys for kids?]

[Is she buying so many toys to sell them?]

[I’m more concerned about where she got the money to buy these toys? Her funds haven’t changed at all!]

[It doesn’t seem like she got these from exploiting any platform deals, because I see a lot of the items are the same type, it looks like wholesale, and for wholesale, you definitely need to spend money! Her funds shouldn’t be unchanged!]

[Could Chen Xixi be using Huabei or some other loan app?]

[Loan app? Isn’t that against the rules?!]

Remembering that the program team would reward five thousand yuan for a successful report, some netizens, eyeing the five thousand yuan, found the program’s report hotline on Weibo and reported Chen Xixi.

As Chen Xixi had just finished inflating some green frog balloons, the host Qian Yue came over, accompanied by Zheng He, who was holding a thick stack of white papers.

Zheng He had just come back from a nearby park and coincidentally ran into Qian Yue, asking him if there was any task, and Qian Yue mentioned the report by the netizens about Chen Xixi.

Upon hearing this, Zheng He was amused; such a big drama, he had to join in the fun.

Moreover, Chen Xixi being reported by the netizens was a spectacle he enjoyed seeing the most, and it would be great if Chen Xixi could be eliminated today, then he would be unbeatable in this show!

Qian Yue walked up to Chen Xixi and said sternly, "Chen Xixi, some netizens have reported that you paid for these items through a loan app."

Zheng He squatted down, his face bearing a grin as if watching a good show, and casually picked up one of the frog balloons that Chen Xixi had just inflated to play with it.

Chen Xixi put down the air pump and looked directly at Zheng He.

Feeling the sharp gaze mixed with a knife-like diction, Zheng He immediately looked up to meet Chen Xixi’s cold eyes.

He also noticed Chen Xixi’s gradually tightening fists, hurriedly let go of the frog balloon in his hand, and stepped back, swallowing his saliva to clarify, "Don’t look at me, I didn’t report you this time!"

Seeing his expression, Chen Xixi didn’t seem to be lying, so she shifted her gaze away.

Chen Xixi calmly explained, "I didn’t use any loan apps."

Qian Yue asked, "Then where did you get all these toys from?"

Chen Xixi immediately took out her phone, opened the Pinduoduo app, and showed the orders to Qian Yue.

After Qian Yue finished reviewing, his previously furrowed brows instantly smoothed out, and his eyes held a hint of admiration.

[What exactly is going on? I want to see too!]

[Did Chen Xixi really use a loan app to make purchases? No way!]

Next, Qian Yue turned the phone screen towards the live camera, letting the netizens see clearly what was going on.

The netizens who saw it were all astounded!
