I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 7 - Dogs and These Five Guests Are Not Allowed to Enter!

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Dogs and These Five Guests Are Not Allowed to Enter!

Chen Xixi, unaware of being reported, had just returned to her dorm when staff members took her to a small, dark room.

Chen Xixi frowned, puzzled but still cooperated.

Entering the room, she saw Qian Yue and Zheng He.

After Chen Xixi sat down, Qian Yue said to her, "Someone reported that you broke the rules."

The production team would not reveal the informant's identity, so Qian Yue did not disclose who made the report.

Even though Chen Xixi would later see this segment online, Qian Yue still adhered to the show's rules.

Chen Xixi tilted her head slightly; her instinct guided her to look at Zheng He with a calm and direct gaze, as if she could see right through people.

Zheng He couldn't maintain eye contact with Chen Xixi for more than three seconds before quickly looking away, appearing very guilty.

Chen Xixi immediately understood who this 'someone' was referring to.

She shifted her gaze back to Qian Yue and asked without any hint of panic, "How did I break the rules?"

Frowning, Qian Yue spoke, "The reporter said you received five hundred yuan and also freeloaded a meal. Moreover, the owner said he would treat you to ten more meals. Please explain this to everyone!"

Chen Xixi succinctly explained the cause and effect: "The meal I freeloaded was a legitimate gain from participating in a restaurant promotion, the five hundred yuan and ten meals were voluntary compensations from the restaurant owner. First, the owner and I are not acquainted; second, I didn't provide any labor to the owner. How could this be considered breaking the rules?"

Chen Xixi glanced at Zheng He and spoke openly, "If anyone still doubts, they can watch the VCR. If they find any falsehood in my words, I will leave the show on my own."

Her bold and upright demeanor made Zheng He's aura diminish significantly.

The host Qian Yue and the chief director watching the event were both stunned!

Wow! Chen Xixi had reported the shop owner right at the beginning of the show and even received additional compensation!

This girl really knows how to play; she's perfect for their show!

Both Qian Yue and the chief director looked at Chen Xixi with increased admiration.

According to Chen Xixi's explanation, it indeed did not constitute a rule violation. Qian Yue was about to let them return to continue filming the show, but Zheng He interjected, "If this also doesn't count as a violation, then we could also profit by making reports. But wouldn't that essentially become a job, like professional reporting?"

[Chen Xixi is right; she did not violate any rules. Zheng He is obviously causing trouble!]

[Zheng He makes sense; if everyone starts earning money through reporting, wouldn't it actually become a job?]

Qian Yue pondered for a moment before looking at Zheng He, "Then what do you suggest we do? Her case definitely doesn't count as a violation."

It seemed unlikely that Chen Xixi would be eliminated. Zheng He conceded slightly, "If it doesn't count as a violation, that's fine, but the five hundred yuan given by the restaurant owner should be confiscated, and she shouldn't be allowed to have those ten meals either! Implement a rule from now on, any similar incident will be considered a violation!"

Just to level the playing field and make him feel a bit better!

Chen Xixi, not to be outdone, glanced at Zheng He, "Oh, then you vomit the instant noodles you freeloaded from the guest Han Qianyi back up intact, let the production team confiscate them, and I'll agree."

To win, you must always keep an eye on other competitors' movements; thus, Chen Xixi also found online that Zheng He freeloaded instant noodles from Han Qianyi.

It's about confiscation? Then let's confiscate from everyone, fair and square.

It's about being unreasonable? She can do that too.

"..."

Chen Xixi finished speaking, then shifted her chair aside along with herself to distance from Zheng He, her words tinged with disdain: "You can start your performance now."

Zheng He: "!!!" Spit it out unaltered? No, is she insane?

Qian Yue saw the two at a deadlock and stood up to discuss with the chief director.

Upon returning, he relayed the chief director's decision: "Technically, this isn't your profession, but since Chen Xixi has set this precedent, it would be unfair if the show didn't allow you to do the same. So, if you can also find businesses to report and receive legal compensation, you may proceed with reporting."

The chief director meant reporting dishonest businesses could not only eliminate villainy for the people but also grab attention for the show. Why restrict the guests from doing good deeds and preventing a method that could increase the show's popularity?

It's an entertainment show after all, so dramatic effects in every aspect naturally need to be maximized, and the scope broadened.

Zheng He was speechless. He just casually used an example to mess with Chen Xixi; in reality, who could make a living doing this every day? This would just offend people! How would they even shop in the future?

[Hahaha, I guess some business owners watching the show right now must be sweating bullets! This director is really cunning hahaha, I'm going to follow this director!]

[Is it just me who's worried that from now on, all five guests will be blacklisted by all businesses?]

[Future sign at the businesses' entrances: No dogs and these five guests allowed!]

[Hahaha brilliant, I died laughing!]

With that, the matter came to a close. An unsuccessful Zheng He didn't say another word and left the "black room", with Chen Xixi following suit.

Before going upstairs, Chen Xixi glanced at Zheng He sitting on the sofa and said: "If you're a man, you should win with your own abilities. Always playing sneaky tricks behind the back really makes me look down on you."

Zheng He, infuriated by Chen Xixi's attitude, raised his voice and shouted: "What do you mean? Who are you saying isn't a man, who hasn't got the ability? Do I need your disdain as a woman? Who's playing sneaky tricks here? I'm respecting the game rules!"

Chen Xixi scoffed lightly and then stepped upstairs.

[Wow! They're fighting, I love this!]

[What! This lady is fierce, huh? Standing up directly to a man!]

Zheng He, feeling belittled, clenched his teeth and thought bitterly to himself, but stubbornly said: "A true man doesn't fight with a woman. I see you as a woman, I won't bother arguing with you!"

Chen Xixi couldn't be bothered to continue the verbal sparring and went upstairs to her room to take a nap.

...

After Chen Xixi and Zheng He left, Qian Yue and the chief director watched the replay of Chen Xixi having lunch.

The chief director laughed heartily: "Hahaha! What Chen Xixi did was absolutely superb! She did the right thing by reporting!"

Qian Yue echoed: "Indeed, well done!"

With glee, the chief director said: "We've even saved money on trending searches! And after Chen Xixi's action, our show's reputation isn't just about entertainment now; it's become a show with positive energy! The level has been upgraded significantly!"

Then, the chief director suddenly realized something was off: "However..."

Qian Yue: "However what?"

The chief director frowned with concern: "Now she's not only got ten free meals ahead of other guests but also an extra five hundred yuan, leaving the others way too far behind...

If too strong contestants aren't penalized appropriately, it will make the show lack suspense and interest..."

Qian Yue felt the chief director made a point: "You're right, how about... we have the assistant director upgrade the game rules a bit?"

The chief director glanced at Qian Yue, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.
