I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 220 - 214 I Resent the Rich!
Chapter 220: Chapter 214 I Resent the Rich!
Wan Chen said he was lucky, but someone who just came back from reflecting on the balcony could not accept it.
"You mean I’m unlucky!" Zheng He can’t stand hearing others say they’re lucky now, it makes him feel like they are mocking him.
Wan Chen gave Zheng He a dismissive glance, "You’re sick, I won’t argue with you." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
The previous sentence wasn’t mocking, but this one truly was.
Zheng He scoffed, "Who doesn’t have some issues these days? Go to the hospital and you’ll find you have them too."
Zheng He was quite open-minded about it now, everything but life and death seemed trivial to him!
It’s just oligospermia after all. He’s not going to die from it, and it’s not entirely incurable either, he believes in modern medical technology!
Wan Chen couldn’t bother with him anymore, Zheng He was not worth his breath.
Han Qianyi hesitated, then couldn’t help asking Wan Chen, "I read online that your family is very rich, so why are you still competing in the show for five million?"
Wan Chen paused.
This all started a month ago.
Last month, Wan Chen returned to his country and had several big fights with his family.
The reason was he wanted to start his own business, but his parents disagreed and just wanted him to come home and inherit the family fortune.
In order to better prepare him for inheriting the family business, his father arranged for him to start from the grassroots level in the company, aiming to let him better understand their family’s products so he could provide better services to clients in the future and develop the company better under his leadership.
This grassroots level meant the very bottom, working in retail sales.
But Wan Chen truly did not want to inherit a maternity and baby care company, despite his family’s enterprise being a listed company, well-known and highly reputable in the maternity and baby brand industry.
However, having him sell diapers and milk powder in a maternity store, and even needing to understand the knowledge and demands of maternity and baby products, just the thought of it made his head buzz.
His friends were all either enjoying life or struggling to start businesses in very modern and trendy fields, like racing, investing, running bars, or working with the internet, etc.
Only he was unique, needing to understand babies’ preferences, which diapers were better, more suitable for babies’ bottoms, the differences between diapers, which teethers and milk powders were more appealing to mothers and babies...
In the future, it would even build walls when socializing with his friends.
Plus, he couldn’t imagine, in his circle of wealthy second-generation friends, how ridiculous it would be to be seen selling diapers over the phone to customers, and how his friends would laugh at him.
He imagined his future life as sitting in a luxurious office, casually making decisions with a bunch of employees standing below waiting for his directives.
Or sitting in a lab working on scientific research projects, or dealing with cars, investments, internet technology, etc.—careers that sounded impressive.
Not selling baby products to pregnant mothers.
It’s not that this industry was bad, but it was just too different from the grand career he dreamed of doing; he couldn’t garner any interest in it.
After several of his entrepreneurial plans were coldly rejected by his father, Wan Chen argued with his father again, and this time, due to the emotional build-up from previous arguments, it escalated almost to the point of severing their father-son relationship.
But his father still did not agree to let him start his own business, and even harshly said, "Without me, without the Wan Family, you are nothing! If you don’t believe it, go out and see for yourself, you can’t even make five million!"
Wan Chen deeply felt that his father truly looked down on him, thinking he was incapable of doing anything right, and that inheriting the family business was the only path in his life.
So his rebellious spirit against Old Wan started to surge, and he stormed out, leaving behind his words as well, "Just five million? I’ll make it in minutes!"
Logically, with his connections, no matter what method he used, he should have been able to easily make five million, but old Wan was cunning - the moment he left, his bank card was cut off, and then, his friends somehow seemed to have been threatened by Old Wan, all avoiding him.
He understood, Old Wan was forcing him to go back and apologize!
No way!
The more Old Wan did this, the more he wanted to do the opposite! He was determined to prove to Old Wan that even without him, without the Wan Family, he could still make a name for himself!
First, set a small goal, earn five million.
Wasn’t Old Wan saying he couldn’t even earn five million? Then he would earn five million just to show Old Wan!
Without the halo of the Wan Family, Wan Chen finally realized that money was indeed hard to earn, because he didn’t even have the basic startup capital, and Old Wan had also controlled all his close friends, making it almost impossible for him alone to earn five million in a short time.
At this time, he saw "Money Saving Battle" online.
He could earn five million in just one month; wouldn’t that mean he could quickly go home and settle things with Old Wan, and also fiercely throw the money in front of Old Wan as a triumph?
So Wan Chen came.
Before coming, to ensure nothing went wrong, he used a little trick to threaten his father’s secretary to ask for a small favor.
Otherwise, if he didn’t win any prize in the show and wasted a month, his dad would have one more reason to look down on him.
He absolutely couldn’t give his dad that chance!
...
Wan Chen felt there was no need to tell others about this, besides, they were all just people who met through a prize, he didn’t want to share his personal affairs with strangers.
Even with acquaintances he wouldn’t share, because some things might become more awkward afterwards.
Wan Chen casually said: "Five million is still money; who would think it’s too much?"
Han Qianyi: "..."
Damn! So wealthy, and still coming to compete with her for a job!
And Wan Chen’s casual attitude, it made her feel as if her meticulously efforts to win were clownish.
Is this the gap between the poor and the rich?
Han Qianyi was a bit devastated.
[It seems that Wan Chen’s family is really wealthy, no wonder Wan Chen never competes or strives, his presence is so low because he doesn’t need the money. He’s just on the show for fun!]
[Damn! Wan Chen is so rich, can’t he just give this opportunity to us poor people! He doesn’t need the five million, but we do!]
[I hope I don’t catch anything on Wan Chen to use against him, I resent the wealthy!]
[And Jin Cheng too, why didn’t his family just send him to a transformation show, instead of taking a spot in a money-saving show!]
The reason the production team arranged for two rich kids to participate was to show a strong contrast in living frugally, which would increase the show’s appeal.
They are not concerned about occupying spots, only about the show’s popularity.
Unexpectedly, these two rich kids showed a careless attitude right from the start, rendering them useless.
Zheng He still didn’t know about Chen Xixi making a hundred thousand, he was still wondering if he was exposed in Chen Xixi’s fan group and how it happened.
He couldn’t figure it out, so he sent a private message to a fan who had previously arranged volunteer activities for him, asking her how she got kicked out of the group.
