I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 222 - 216 Opportunity Has Arrived! It Really Came Without Any Effort!
Chapter 222: Chapter 216 Opportunity Has Arrived! It Really Came Without Any Effort!
But it’s not even noon yet, let alone many places not yet open for business, who would engage in illegitimate transactions in broad daylight?
Zheng He thought about it and decided to start with the shopping malls, restaurants, and online platforms.
However, to expose fakes on online platforms, one must first purchase the products to verify their authenticity. With only two days left for the show, by the time the products were shipped, the show would be over.
So the online platform channel can be ruled out for now.
Then Zheng He first visited the restaurant industry to see if there was any overcharging, and he also wanted to check whether the kitchen hygiene was up to standard, but usually, business owners do not allow customers to enter the kitchen area.
Zheng He couldn’t find a suitable reason to go in, so he could only stand close to the kitchen, sneaking peeks inside whenever the chefs moved around and the kitchen curtains were opened.
"Boss, it’s him, he comes in but doesn’t order anything, just keeps asking about prices and stands by the kitchen looking around suspiciously. He’s very dodgy!
I think he’s very likely some kind of media journalist doing a secret investigation! If not a journalist, then he’s probably a robber scoping out the place!" said a waiter with ten years of work experience to the man next to him.
The waiter suspected Zheng He might be scoping the place for a robbery largely because their kitchen has a back door that is usually not used, mostly only for deliveries.
And Zheng He kept standing by the kitchen, occasionally peering inside, perhaps plotting a robbery route!
The restaurant owner stiffened when he recognized Zheng He, infamous on the internet, and thought that this guy was definitely targeting their restaurant to swindle some money before leaving!
The restaurant owner panicked: "Find a way to get him out, quickly!"
Otherwise, their family business could face a huge loss!
Finally, after asking Zheng He several times whether he wanted to order anything, Zheng He remained indifferent, and the waiter then escorted him out.
In the following time, Zheng He was similarly escorted out by various businesses.
Just looking around without buying, and with shifty eyes, plus some people recognizing him, all these negative factors combined led to a very rough day of reporting for Zheng He.
[What exactly is Zheng He doing? Why does he enter stores just to look around and lurk around like a thief, no wonder the businesses kicked him out!]
[This is already the eighteenth store that has kicked Zheng He out.]
[I think he must be reporting on unethical businesses, but he just can’t find the opportunity.]
[Even if he’s reporting, he should at least pretend to shop to arouse less suspicion!]
Zheng He, unwilling to spend money to infiltrate the enemy, and wanting to report them, the businesses aren’t fools either, so Zheng He gained nothing that day and just wasted his effort.
It seems he can only wait for night time to take bigger actions!
...
Meanwhile.
Today’s task for the Adventure Variety Show is to undertake a challenge in Su City.
The rules of the Adventure Variety Show are quite strict — they don’t give the guests any money, they even have to work, and only after completing the work do they qualify to receive supplies; fail to complete the work, and they get nothing.
Luckily, they had free activity cards for several tourist attractions from Chen Xixi, which allowed them to enjoy some leisure after completing the challenge; otherwise, their day would have been truly miserable!
At the entrance of the attraction, the celebrity guests took photos and checked in on Weibo, tagging Chen Xixi to thank her for the voucher gift packs.
Except for Fang Shihui.
He stood at the entrance, watching Jiang Xingze and others, and awkwardly smiled: "I lost all my coupons, probably left them at the hotel in the last city and forgot to pick them up."
Guan Yingying: "That’s too bad, we’re going in to have fun then!"
Fang Shihui nodded, showing his regret: "It’s a bit of a pity, go ahead, I’ll just walk around nearby and wait for you guys."
If he had known these coupons would actually come in handy, he wouldn’t have thrown them away...
Who carries these coupons around all the time? Besides, he is a celebrity; pulling out coupons would make him seem stingy and leave a bad impression, not to mention he isn’t exactly short on discounts.
But now, he kind of regrets it.
[Lost them? The day Chen Xixi gave them the coupons, I personally saw him neatly put them in his pocket, how could they be lost?]
[Maybe he left them behind while packing at the hotel.]
[What the heck?! Chen Xixi’s coupons actually came in handy? I thought they threw them away after the show!]
[I thought these celebrities would look down on Chen Xixi’s coupons, but turns out they’re really down-to-earth, love it!]
Through the celebrities’ thankful posts on Weibo, not only did their down-to-earth image win them fans, but also brought Chen Xixi back into the trending searches.
An ordinary person being mentioned by several top celebrities is bound to draw public attention.
Chen Xixi has really become famous now.
She used to be somewhat known among netizens, but now she’s basically become big in the entertainment industry.
Her Weibo followers are skyrocketing, and the program’s popularity is continuously rising, putting a noticeable distance between her and the other four guests.
[Shall I say or not, seems like the entertainment industry really let Chen Xiaokou break in!]
[Looks like Chen Xixi will definitely score the contract with Nanxing Entertainment!]
[That’s amazing! A village girl turning into a dazzling star! This sister is truly inspirational! I declare Chen Xixi as my new role model!]
[Another day wanting to be Chen Xixi! I’m so envious!]
[Tonight, I have my dream material!]
[Chen Xiaokou, I don’t ask for much, just hope that when you enter the entertainment industry you follow the laws and regulations! Please don’t cause a scandal!]
Chen Xixi also politely replied to Jiang Xingze and others’ thanks on Weibo, and they followed each other too.
Chen Xixi’s fans feel she’s really made something of herself now, being able to talk and follow each other with the celebrities.
Han Qianyi, seeing all this happen to Chen Xixi, something she had dreamed of, started to feel bitter.
She also hopes to be like Chen Xixi, receiving everyone’s attention, but it seems like everyone’s focus is always on Chen Xixi. As if Chen Xixi’s presence ensures no one sees her efforts...
She just can’t accept it!
...
At seven o’clock in the evening, after being driven around by businesses all day, Zheng He went to a certain bar.
The bar’s dazzling lights intertwined, the air filled with an intoxicating allure—it was a perfect place to make mistakes.
Zheng He weaved through the crowded men and women.
Anyone intending to make a mistake would certainly choose a private room; Zheng He decided to try his luck there.
The private rooms in the bar were on the second floor, the corridor lighting outside the private rooms was bright, and at the end of the corridor was the restroom.
Zheng He had just reached the second floor when he saw a man standing by the restroom sink; he squinted and vaguely noticed the man holding what appeared to be a syringe...
An opportunity has arisen! Getting this without any effort!
Zheng He didn’t think twice and immediately called the police!
