I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 292 - 286: How Did Chen Xixi Convince the Billionaire President Zhou to Join Her at a Street Stall!
Chapter 292: Chapter 286: How Did Chen Xixi Convince the Billionaire President Zhou to Join Her at a Street Stall!
Netizens were really curious about what big move Chen Xixi had made this time, so they flocked to her live broadcast room to find out.
In the broadcast room was a corner of the plaza.
Half of the dolls were laid out on the ground by Chen Xixi, while Zhou Jinyuan held a few rings, standing in front to collect money.
Nobody wanted to buy dolls, but turning it into a game instantly attracted the attention of some couples and children.
Plus, it was the weekend, and there were plenty of people out shopping. As long as someone played at the stall and it got lively, a steady stream of people would continue to gather around.
At this point, not many dolls had been hooked by the rings, but Zhou Jinyuan already had a thick stack of money in his hand.
Chen Xixi was bustling about busily.
The production team didn’t give them any money, and these rings were obtained by Chen Xixi from other stalls in exchange for dolls.
Not many, just over twenty in total.
As customers tossed the rings, Chen Xixi had to quickly pick them up and then hand them to Zhou Jinyuan to be given back to the customers for reuse.
It might not look like a big business, but it was quite busy.
And they weren’t making a small amount of money either.
[This move is really genius! It has to be Chen Xixi!]
[Oh my God! Chen Xixi is so clever! She’s definitely going to be number one today again!]
[How did Chen Xixi convince a billionaire like President Zhou to set up a street stall with her? So awesome hahaha!]
[This is probably the smallest business President Zhou has ever done in his life, right? Hahaha!]
Zhou Jinyuan also didn’t expect that one day he would be doing business at ten yuan a transaction, and moreover, he didn’t dislike this feeling at all.
Chen Xixi handed over a few more plastic rings, and he lifted his eyelids, looked at her spirited appearance, and took them.
Or, to put it another way, every single thing that he did with her seemed not so bad.
The reason why Chen Xixi was so spirited was that every money-making thing would give her a great deal of passion and motivation!
She firmly believed that as long as she loved making money enough, money would love her back!
One day, they would be in a mutual love affair!
If it weren’t for Qian Yue coming over to announce the end of the game, Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan would probably have kept at it until it got dark.
They made 860 yuan, and there were still two large shopping baskets full of dolls left.
When going back, Chen Xixi nudged Zhou Jinyuan’s arm and whispered, "If there are no tasks tomorrow, let’s do this again."
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head to look at her, his lips slightly upturned: "Sure."
Chen Xixi raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder, "You’ve worked hard, I’ll treat you to bubble tea with the money we make tomorrow!"
After all, someone as important as him had lowered his status to set up a street stall with her, it really wouldn’t be right not to reward him.
This bubble tea gave Zhou Jinyuan an instant feeling of being pleasantly surprised.
Chen Xixi was willing to spend money to treat him to bubble tea, who could say this wasn’t another way of showing a promotion in status.
After all, every previous time Chen Xixi had taken him out to eat or drink, it was all freeloaded.
Now, at last, he seems to have a place in her heart worth the value of a cup of bubble tea.
When they returned to the village, Qian Yue asked everyone to hand over the money they had to tally the results.
Zheng He, with a smug face, took the money out of his pocket and handed it to Qian Yue, "358 yuan!!"
His voice was loud and clear, afraid that someone might not hear it.
He had inquired with Xu Mu and the others when he came back; they were selling dolls in the most primitive way, not easy to sell, and in total, they hadn’t even made one hundred yuan.
So he was convinced he had won today!
Not to show off a little would be so out of character for him!
Aside from Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, the other guests, hearing the amount Zheng He announced, were very envious!
Now that they weren’t eating or living well, it was really bothersome; they too wanted to achieve points freedom!
Facing everyone’s envious gazes, Zheng He walked back to Hu Yun’s side, feeling immensely satisfied in his heart!
The other guests hung their heads in dejection, each handing over their money to Qian Yue and reporting the amount.
Xixi could tell from the current situation that among all the guests, Zheng He had the most money.
If 358 yuan was the highest...
Her eyes quickly darted around, and while no one was paying attention to her, she sneakily took out 360 yuan from the 860 yuan she had.
She kept the remaining 500 yuan in her bag and didn’t take it out.
With 360 yuan, she could claim the top spot; there was no need to hand over all the hard-earned money.
After Xu Mu finished handing over his money and walked back, Qian Yue smiled and said, "Now it’s the last pair, Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, time to bring out the money you’ve earned."
Everyone turned their heads, directing their gaze toward Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan.
Zheng He’s smirk became more pronounced; he was finally about to beat Chen Xixi for once!
However, in the next second, Chen Xixi’s voice nearly drove him mad!
"360 yuan!" Chen Xixi announced, holding the money.
Just two yuan short!
Zheng He couldn’t accept it!
If the gap had been wider, he wouldn’t have said anything!
Just two yuan short, how could he swallow this?
He was so infuriated; it was the stuff of nightmares!
It was such a tiny fraction!
Beside him, Hu Yun shared the same sentiment of infuriating defeat as Zheng He!
They were just two yuan away from surpassing Chen Xixi!
Suddenly, Zheng He recalled their time at the arcade, where he and Hu Yun boasted, even deciding what they’d do with the Ten Points they won, all planned together as they bragged...
Chen Xixi had cost him his face.
Chen Xixi was finished!
Sooner or later, he would reclaim his dignity from Chen Xixi!
Zheng He turned to Hu Yun, trying to find comfort, "It’s fine, Chen Xixi’s skills are nothing special; it was just her luck this time being ahead by two yuan. We’ll push harder next time!"
Stirred by the same desire to win over Chen Xixi’s two dollars, Hu Yun nodded vigorously, "Yeah, okay!"
...
Upon hearing the amount of money Xixi reported, Zhou Jinyuan’s brows slightly raised.
He hadn’t counted the money carefully before he gave it to Chen Xixi.
But as a businessman, he had a sharp intuition about money, and he had a rough value in mind.
Xixi had handed in at least half less.
Zhou Jinyuan quickly returned to his usual demeanor, saying nothing.
Chen Xixi, ecstatic with the Ten Points given by Qian Yue, and Zhou Jinyuan went home carrying two large shopping baskets full of dolls.
The first thing Xixi did when she got home was to ask the program crew for her phone back and call Mr. Chen from a spot out of the camera’s view.
After a while, the jovial voice of Old Chen came from the phone, "Hello, what’s up?"
"Nothing much, just something I wanted to ask you."
Old Chen, hearing the rare seriousness in Xixi’s voice, also became solemn, "What is it?"
"I heard..." Xixi pursed her lips, knowing that bringing up the past would upset Old Chen, but she really wanted to know the truth.
She didn’t believe what others said; she only trusted that her dad would never lie to her.
Old Chen’s brows lightly furrowed; as if sensing something, he continued to inquire, "Heard what? Is someone targeting you, or what’s the matter?"
Hesitating for a moment, Xixi spoke up, "I heard that our family’s business failure in the past was related to the Zhou Family of Zhongjing Group, so I wanted to ask you, is this true?"
She needed an answer to this question today.
If it really had to do with Zhou Jinyuan, she would definitely not let him off!
