I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 245 - 239: The Money-Saving Variety Show Aftereffects!

Chapter 245: Chapter 239: The Money-Saving Variety Show Aftereffects!

At the end, Lu Wenling couldn’t help but twist the knife one more time: "I don’t want our Nanxing Entertainment’s annual meeting to be in prison this year, working a sewing machine while we hold it."

The others present all covered their mouths to hide their snickers.

[Hahahaha President Lu is too funny! He’s absolutely right!]

[That’s too sad, even as a freebie no one wants it, still afraid of losing Money hahaha!]

[I think Han Qianyi should be able to reel it back in, right?]

[No no no! Even if Han Qianyi dances for a lifetime at Nanxing Entertainment, it probably won’t be enough to compensate for Zheng He’s losses...]

[Zheng He singlehandedly dragged down the value of all the guests in their show haha!]

"..." Zheng He was furious, but still had to keep smiling, since the other party was a big shot he couldn’t afford to offend.

Zheng He forced a smile, sacrificing himself to defend his honor: "It’s not that exaggerated, all the things before were just to create talking points for the show, intentionally. In actuality, I am smart, righteous, and kind!"

Lu Wenling looked at Zheng He and said earnestly: "Then I hope you’ll soon become the person you actually think you are, I wish you success."

Zheng He: "..." Am I really that unreliable?

Zheng He heard the laughter of the others, and his face suddenly couldn’t hold its dignity; he glanced at those irrelevant people and snorted with disdain: "What’s so funny? President Lu is valuing me, thinking I have potential, that’s why he’s encouraging me! You don’t even have the qualifications to be personally encouraged by President Lu, what qualifies you to laugh at me!"

He couldn’t afford to offend President Lu, but what prevented him from saying a few words to others?

Unable to hold back, Wan Chen patted Zheng He’s shoulder and said with a look of admiration, "Bro, you’re the best."

[Ahhh! Is it over just like that? Is there a second season? I still want to watch them!]

[I really don’t want to let them go!]

[I haven’t had enough, I could watch them for another ten months! Can you keep streaming for another ten months?]

[How am I supposed to live without them!]

Qian Yue looked into the camera with a smile, saying reluctantly: "Alright, our ’Money Saving Battle’ variety show has come to a perfect close! Thank you all for your support and tolerance over the past month, we look forward to seeing you next time!"

After the awards, the live broadcast camera was turned off, and everyone was invited to the hotel for the wrap-up banquet.

At the dinner table, the chief director spoke with a smile: "Eat and drink well, tonight’s expenses are all on President Zhou!"

This variety show finally ended amidst the chief director’s anxiety and trepidation. In the past month, he was tormented by Zheng He to the point of not sleeping or eating well, his entire mentality almost collapsing, terrified that with one careless move, the whole program would be pulled off the air for crossing legal lines.

Finally, with a perfect closing, the chief director could let go of his hanging heart; tonight, he can go home and get a good night’s sleep!

During the meal, Han Qianyi kept toasting Lu Wenling, just hoping that he would take more notice of her, to give her a chance.

After three or four glasses, seeing Lu Wenling in high spirits, Qianyi mustered up the courage to ask: "President Lu, do you think there’s a chance for me if I go for an interview at your company?"

Although she didn’t become the most popular member of the cast, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t find her own way into Nanxing Entertainment.

But the bar for signing artists at Nanxing Entertainment is too high, and if she went for an interview directly, the chances of getting through wouldn’t be great.

Because as someone who only has some dancing skills, compared to those who have been professionally trained for years and are all-around top students, she’s just an ordinary girl with a dream of becoming a star.

This industry is too competitive, and the competition is so fierce that there are tons of others like her in the entertainment circle.

Even those better than her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t rely on signing up for a variety show to win a chance to sign with Nanxing Entertainment.

Lu Wenling put down his wine glass, met Han Qianyi’s gaze, and began with a businesslike tone: "Our company signs artists through a multi-layered selection process, there are no shortcuts, you might as well try for it yourself instead of asking me."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Han Qianyi’s face. Lu Wenling’s meaning was clear: Nanxing Entertainment doesn’t use nepotism, whether one gets signed depends entirely on their own abilities. Instead of wasting time trying to impress him, it would be better to improve her own skills, and let her talent speak for itself.

And being an artist, just knowing how to dance is far from enough.

Han Qianyi isn’t formally trained.

In terms of looks, she’s not particularly outstanding.

But her beauty endures, not stunning at first glance but her contours become charming over time, and she has a very standard face shape with strong plasticity, capable of exhibiting different styles of beauty with each makeup look.

However, these aren’t the standards by which artists are judged, we live in a fast-paced era; if you don’t grab attention from the start, there won’t be an ’after’, not many people have the patience to discover her charm.

If she were to participate in a talent show, she probably wouldn’t even get a few shots from the director.

Han Qianyi’s eyes turned down with a touch of dejection.

Although there were many small companies wanting to sign her, it was only because they wanted to capitalize on her current popularity.

To truly make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, Nanxing Entertainment was the best choice.

Han Qianyi tugged at her stiff mouth corners, showing a gentle smile: "Okay, President Lu, I’ll try my best to give it a shot."

Trying wasn’t out of the question, but... Chen Xixi, who was on the same program as her, had already become a signed artist with Nanxing Entertainment. If she went to audition at Nanxing and didn’t pass, surely Chen Xixi would ridicule her?

A hint of pride wrestled internally within Han Qianyi, telling her she couldn’t be looked down upon by Chen Xixi... but she couldn’t bear to give up on Nanxing Entertainment... It’s really painful.

As the wrap party was coming to an end, the guests of "Money Saving Battle" stood up in unison.

They each pulled out a plastic bag and skillfully began to pack leftover food.

The chief director looked on, somewhat baffled as Jin Cheng took the entire bottle of red wine he hadn’t managed to drink and stuffed it into his pocket.

This scene seemed all too familiar; he often saw it off-camera during the show.

He exclaimed with surprise, "The program is over, what are you guys doing..."

Though the program was done, the aftereffects still needed some time to heal.

Jin Cheng frowned, looking down at his subconscious packing action, "Sorry, I’m used to being frugal, worried about not having food for the next meal, do you still want to drink?"

"..." freewebnoveℓ.com

Suddenly, Lu Wenling spoke up: "That’s good, frugality is a virtue."

This program was worth participating in; after leaving the show, the subtly influenced behavior slowly began to show.

Young Master Jin, who grew up with a silver spoon, had a taste of hardship and learned to be thrifty.

After the guests finished packing, Lu Wenling took Chen Xixi to visit the new company.

Zhou Jinyuan followed them as well.

In the car, Chen Xixi suddenly remembered something.

Hadn’t Zhou Jinyuan also invited her to work at Zhongjing Group last time? Was she now standing up President Zhou?

Chen Xixi thought it over and, looking at the man sitting beside her, took the initiative to say: "President Zhou, I’m sorry about the job at Zhongjing Group..."

Zhou Jinyuan curled his lips into a smile: "It’s alright, working at Nanxing Entertainment is no different."

After all, both are his ventures.
