I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 235 - 229 So Much Money, She’s Going to Be Rich!!
Chapter 235: Chapter 229 So Much Money, She’s Going to Be Rich!!
When Wan Chen first went on the show, he and his secretary set the raffle amount at ten thousand yuan.
But unexpectedly, Chen Xixi was too capable! She directly pressured him to increase the raffle amount from ten thousand to twenty thousand, then to thirty thousand, and finally forcibly to five hundred thousand yuan!
There was no choice, if he didn’t increase it, giving Chen Xixi some room to play, who knows what big moves she might make in the next two days, and by then it would be too late for him to remedy anything.
If such events were held often and he won every time, it would definitely raise suspicions from everyone.
Thus, he could only use the same tactic once.
As soon as the call connected, Wan Chen spoke irritably, "Didn’t you tell me to draw the card from the top of the box? How did Chen Xixi end up drawing it? Did you leak this to her?!"
The secretary on the other end was also confused, "Young master! How would I dare?! Is it possible that Chen Xixi accidentally touched it?"
"Who accidentally touches something and reaches upward?" Wan Chen felt it was utterly absurd!
"... Chen Xixi."
"......" Speechless.
The secretary, trying to keep his job, appeased the young master, "It might also be possible that the staff didn’t stick the card properly, and it fell off."
That wasn’t impossible.
Wan Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his tone was low and angry, "A bunch of idiots! Can’t even handle such a minor thing!"
Even the cheating had turned against him!
If someone else had won, it might have been acceptable, but it was their own show’s Chen Xixi!
It was like he risked cheating just to put Chen Xixi in the position of a money-saving king!
He was furious!!
However, that wasn’t even the most important thing.
Most importantly, he still owed five hundred thousand yuan, which was supposed to be the prize money, and he’d have to pay it back to the mall owner after the show!
Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also ended up owing five hundred thousand yuan.
How could Wan Chen not be furious!
If only he had let Chen Xixi stand behind him and draw!
He finally understood why Zheng He was so unlucky.
It must have been because of an encounter with Chen Xixi, nothing good comes from it!
Like his current mental state, completely blown up!
The secretary, scolded, didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, after all, he’s the future heir to the Wan Family, Mr. Wan dared to drive people out, that was a father-son relationship, but he, a loyal mule of the Wan Family, dared not act rashly.
The secretary paced around, and carefully suggested, "How about... we organize another raffle event somewhere else this afternoon?"
If they were to hold another event, he would have to raise the amount to one million yuan, otherwise it wouldn’t be feasible.
Wan Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed deeply, "Always holding raffles makes it too easy for others to become suspicious, let’s change it up."
At this point, it wasn’t possible to just give up.
Finally, Wan Chen emphasized with a heavy tone, "This time, there must be no more mistakes!"
If there were more mistakes, he’d end up with a debt of one million five hundred thousand yuan!
Moreover, he couldn’t even report Chen Xixi, because reporting her would be like reporting himself.
If the whole internet knew about his cheating, how could he face anyone in the future?
For a young master worth hundreds of millions, cheating for a mere five million?
Embarrassing, too embarrassing!
But for the sake of his career, he had no choice but to resort to some tricks.
"Not doing a lottery?" The secretary was somewhat troubled, "It’s hard to justify giving away so much money in other ways."
"The lottery amount is too large, it can also easily arouse suspicion." Wan Chen fell silent for a moment, "Let’s do an online platform lottery, set the prize at ten thousand yuan, then deliberately create a bug so I can win one million, handle it from the backend. There shouldn’t be any problems this time, right?"
A platform bug that mistakenly makes ten thousand into one million, and the platform has to abide by the rules and painfully give out the million prize to Wan Chen. With this operation, who could suspect him of cheating?
The secretary couldn’t help but clap and applaud: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Young master, you’re truly clever!"
Wan Chen did not buy that, somewhat disdainfully he said: "Stop flattering, just go get it done, and send me a message when it’s handled."
To even have to personally worry about such small matters, truly tiring.
Lottery scene.
Zheng He felt like he was almost unable to breathe.
Chen Xixi already had over a hundred thousand, and now she’s won another five hundred thousand, how can this continue!
His fake money was only thirty thousand, compared to Chen Xixi, his amount was nowhere close!
On stage, Chen Xixi’s lips curled up in a joyful smile, initially she came to the show for the five million prize money, but unexpectedly, she had unknowingly made over six hundred thousand!
So much money, she’s going to be rich!!
Just as she was immersed in joy, the show host Qian Yue approached: "Now a lot of people are reporting about your winning, and about your previous sale of two wine bottles for thirty thousand, netizens suspect it’s an inside job."
After listening, Chen Xixi calmly explained: "There was no cheating involved in the winning, it’s true I sold the wine to someone I knew, but we had not pre-arranged it, plus I have evidence proving they couldn’t have helped me cheat."
Qian Yue: "For the winning matter, we need to clarify with the shopping mall staff responsible for the event. As for the wine, just present the evidence."
"Okay."
...
Jiang City Southern Villa District.
Li Youjia, with a facial mask on, idly picked up her phone to check but there were no messages from Xu Yichen.
She sighed in disappointment, her shoulders slumping down.
They had been cold to each other for four days now, usually after each quarrel, it was her who made peace, but this time she wanted to teach Xu Yichen a lesson, so she controlled herself from reaching out first, waiting for Xu Yichen to take the initiative in apologizing.
But Xu Yichen didn’t contact her at all...
In frustration, Li Youjia pulled off the freshly applied three-minute less than thousand yuan worth facial mask and tossed it into the trash can without hesitation.
Then she opened WeChat, hesitated for a while in the chat at the top, and clicked on it.
But it wasn’t the chat interface that opened. Instead, a notification from a platform popped up and she accidentally clicked on it.
Frowning, Li Youjia was about to switch back to WeChat when she suddenly noticed a familiar name on the webpage—Chen Xixi.
She took a closer look, upon understanding the content, her lips curled up and her gloomy mood improved significantly.
It was about Chen Xixi being frequently reported by netizens on trending news.
It also clearly mentioned the issue of Chen Xixi selling wine, suspected of colluding with acquaintances to cheat and win big prizes.
Li Youjia sneered, "Chen Xixi oh Chen Xixi, for swindling my thirty thousand yuan! Just wait to be disgraced, kicked off the show, and scolded by netizens!"
She definitely wouldn’t utter a word in Chen Xixi’s defense!
Suddenly felt that the thirty thousand yuan spent were totally worth it, indeed a good value!
Li Youjia’s mood improved, and she immediately went to her contacts to call Xu Yichen.
The phone rang for about ten seconds before it was answered.
Li Youjia’s face was beaming with a sweet smile as she said in a delicate voice: "Yichen, are you free tomorrow? Would you like to go shopping with me?"
This way, she usually gave Xu Yichen a way out, added a bit of sweet talk, and the two would quickly reconcile.
