I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 17 - I Can Now Be a Man Without a Nephew
Chapter 17: Chapter 17 I Can Now Be a Man Without a Nephew
As the guests all drew the names of the sponsors they were to entertain, Qian Yue spoke up, "Everyone, hurry up and get ready. When the sponsors arrive, the production team will notify everyone."
As soon as Qian Yue finished speaking, Han Qianyi quickly went upstairs to her room and took out all her makeup products to give her face a second, meticulous makeover.
Today, she had to make a good impression on the boss of Nanxing Entertainment!
Although Zheng He was somewhat reluctant to have someone else spending his money, he changed his mind when he thought about it: Their family, just an average nouveau riche, got a chance to meet some big shots, which could be considered a good thing.
He went to his room and seriously washed his hair with a two yuan bar of soap, then borrowed toothpaste from Han Qianyi to brush his teeth and changed into a clean and tidy casual shirt.
He stood in front of the mirror, gave his reflection a whistle, fiddled with his hair, feeling at this moment he was too handsome for words.
Totally different from Han Qianyi and Zheng He's earnest preparation to welcome their wealthy sponsors were Jin Cheng and Wan Chen.
The two of them went back to their rooms, dove under the covers, and lay down to continue snoozing.
Their attitude seemed like 'love me or leave me', showing no importance to the sponsors at all.
Then let's turn to our money-saving monarch Chen Xixi, who was sitting on her bed busily swiping on her phone, although it was unclear what she was so busy with.
When the sponsors were brought to the set by the staff, the staff went to notify the guests.
Han Qianyi, eager to make a good impression on the boss of Nanxing Entertainment, arrived downstairs at top speed.
In the lobby on the first floor stood five men in suits and leather shoes. Among them, one man stood tall, his whole body emanating luxury. Aside from his superior facial features, his aura alone was not something cultivated by an ordinary family.
Sponsors naturally do not come from an ordinary household, but this man was different from those capitalists in the business world.
He had the air of a 'crown prince' used to a life of luxury, exuding a sense of distance that made him seem from another level, with clear boundaries and hard to approach.
Han Qianyi immediately concluded in her heart: This man is not to be trifled with; better keep your distance.
She hoped he was not the boss of Nanxing Entertainment.
Because he was too handsome, she feared that if they spent too much time together, she might not be able to control herself, and instead of landing on a high branch, she might become cannon fodder and get into a lot of trouble.
For a man to ruin her future would be a loss too great to comprehend.
Her goal for coming to this show was clear: she just wanted an opportunity to be able to sign with Nanxing Entertainment.
Then she could successfully debut, become a sought-after big star, earn lots of money, and be the most successful girl from her village.
As Han Qianyi silently prayed, the host Qian Yue walked over to the first middle-aged man on the left.
Qian Yue's smile contained a bit of bootlicking as he introduced to Han Qianyi: "This is Vice President Wang of Nanxing Entertainment."
The boss of Nanxing Entertainment had originally agreed to come, but for some reason he changed his mind at the last minute and sent the company's vice president instead.
A vice president is still a president, after all, they're both top management. Han Qianyi wasn't picky.
Han Qianyi was already excited inside, but in order not to make the leader think she was too small-minded and inexperienced, she pretended to be calm and gave a gentle smile, "Hello Vice President Wang."
"Hello, hello," Vice President Wang smiled amiably at Han Qianyi, looking very approachable, which made Han Qianyi relax a lot.
"Have you had breakfast yet?" Han Qianyi asked.
Vice President Wang honestly replied, "No, the production team said you guys would arrange it."
Han Qianyi immediately saw a great opportunity to perform well. She smiled brightly and generously offered, "Then let me take you for breakfast, just order whatever you like within my capabilities."
She guessed that today's event of hosting the sponsors would definitely be compared by netizens, seeing who treated their sponsors the best and who valued them the most.
So she had to make Vice President Wang receive better treatment on this show than other sponsors!
This way, she could not only please Vice President Wang but also have a great chance to win popularity votes from netizens.
[The production team is really despicable, not even providing breakfast for the wealthy sponsors!]
[It looks like Han Qianyi is really going to use all her assets to entertain the wealthy sponsors, huh?]
[I feel like it's something she would do!]

[Ahhhh! Who is that man in the middle? I need all his information in three minutes!]
[Men, do you like domineering CEOs? I always get fired from my jobs. Eh? Speak up.]
After Han Qianyi led her sponsor out of the dorm, Zheng He and Wan Chen immediately went downstairs to meet their respective sponsors.
Zheng He was met by General Manager Liu from the top 500 company, Tiancheng Insurance Company. It was the first time Zheng He had contact with a person in charge of such a large group, thus he hurriedly bent over and smiled obsequiously, "Hello, my name is Zheng He."
However, the scene with Wan Chen, who came down together with Zheng He, was completely the opposite.
The sponsor was the one bending over and shaking hands with Wan Chen, with a smile that seemed particularly sycophantic, carefully watching Wan Chen, "Hello, I am Xiao Huang from Hua Fu Group."
[... Are all people from Hua Fu Group so servile?]
[This person doesn't look like a sponsor at all, right? Can't you at least bring out a bit of a sponsor's aura?!]
[Compared with Xiao Huang, why do I feel like Wan Chen looks more like the sponsor?]
[Is it possible that Xiao Huang is just more approachable...]
[The exchange patterns between Zheng He's and Wan Chen's groups are just polar opposites hahaha!]
As Zheng He and Wan Chen were greeting their sponsors, Jin Cheng leisurely came downstairs.
The moment he saw that tall and familiar figure, he was stunned for an instant.
Jin Cheng quickly walked to Zhou Jinyuan's side, frowning and conversing in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Why did you come?"
Didn't Zhou Jinyuan generally dislike attending these public events?
Could it be that he came to supervise him?
He had already complied with their requirements by joining this hunger-inducing reality show, what more did they want from him!
Zhou Jinyuan glanced at him indifferently, speaking somewhat coldly, "It's none of your business."
"..."
Jin Cheng felt as if he could read a 'Don't think you're so important' message coming from Zhou Jinyuan's especially indifferent and ruthless eyes.
There was no need to say anything more—their relationship had cooled.
Jin Cheng suddenly remembered that Zhou Jinyuan had recently taken over Zhongjing Group, and figured that maybe Zhou Jinyuan came out in front of the cameras as an exception to establish the company image and concurrently boost his own fame.
After understanding this, he stopped dwelling on it, scratching his head and then whispering, "Uncle, aren't you in the same group as Chen Xixi? Do me a favor, don't give her a hard time, and take good care of her for me. She's been quite nice to me on this show, she not only fronted me medical expenses the other day but also specifically cooked eggs for me."
Zhou Jinyuan's frown deepened and his eyes darkened, seeming to sense something off in Jin Cheng's words.
After Jin Cheng finished his rapid-fire speech, he suddenly remembered something else and instructed, "Oh right, and you must not tell her you're my uncle."
"Why?"
Jin Cheng seemed to hesitate, as if worried about hurting Zhou Jinyuan's pride, and then said, "Because she doesn't like you."
"..." He didn't seem to have provoked her, had he?
Zhou Jinyuan's frosty brows raised slightly, "Why's that?"
Jin Cheng replied, "She said she doesn't like men who have nephews."
"..." Zhou Jinyuan coldly pierced through the pretense, "Is it possible that the emphasis of that sentence is on the word 'nephews'?"
The emphasis on... nephews? Jin Cheng didn't quite grasp the meaning of that.
Before he could fully understand the truth behind it, he heard his uncle's deep and magnetic voice utter even more heartlessly decisive words, "If that is so, I can now also be a man without a nephew, because I don't particularly wish to have a nephew who goes hungry for nine meals over three days, losing face."
Jin Cheng didn't understand the first sentence, but he clearly understood the latter part said by Zhou Jinyuan.
Zhou Jinyuan was implying he was disgraceful, wanting to cut ties with him!
How could this man be so heartless! They were related by blood! How could he just disown him like that!!
