I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 5 - : Even the Most Outstanding Man Can’t Have Every Woman!
Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Even the Most Outstanding Man Can't Have Every Woman!
However, Boss Zheng didn't know that all of his actions were being live streamed by the hidden camera Chen Xixi was wearing.
Boss Zheng didn't know, but Chen Xixi did.
Making an outrageous demand like a lion opening its mouth was something she couldn't do; otherwise, once it was broadcasted live, every word and action of hers would definitely be magnified online, scrutinized, and analyzed by some so-called bloggers or professionals for legal compliance.
But letting this unscrupulous Boss Zheng with the surname Zheng off easily was also not an option – not for any other reason but the sheer inability to stomach it.
Chen Xixi: "Being customer-friendly, just provide free utensils and cancel the tea service charge. As for my compensation, just compensate according to the legal standards."
Compensation was her right, something she would not stupidly refuse as it would also increase her success rate on the show.
Boss Zheng showed a troubled face: "Ah... this..."
Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but this meant the restaurant would lose a significant amount of revenue! Besides, everyone else was charging, and he would be loath to stop!

Not only did Boss Zheng show a troubled face, but even the meddling netizens ready to attack Chen Xixi with their keyboards and stir trouble suddenly felt like they had been slapped in the face!
[Why can't you little trolls wait until someone finishes speaking? Can't stand to see someone doing well, can you?]
[Why aren't the little trolls jumping around anymore? Why have you stopped tagging the relevant departments?]
[Is it just me, or do I suddenly feel like Chen Xixi is radiating with the light of justice!]
[Well done Xixi! From now on, I'm your hardcore fan!]
[I must say, as someone who never idolizes, I'm a bit captivated by Xixi's charm.]
[Mainly shameless, not spending a dime, and casually reporting disreputable businesses.]
The Jiang City cyber police and related departments, who had been tagged by the little trolls, originally thought they were responding to some egregious incident.
Instead, they didn't expect to see a young girl exercising justice, as official accounts shared the live stream and praised Chen Xixi's actions, even hailing her as a righteous good girl.
Thanks to these little troublemaking fans, Chen Xixi's positive image shot up several notches instantly.
Those envious ones who wished her misfortune failed to kick her while she was down and inadvertently gifted Chen Xixi a wave of immeasurable popularity and a positive image.
Moreover, since Boss Zheng's new store was opening and was in an untenable position, if he insisted on dragging this out and going through legal proceedings, it would not only negatively impact his store's reputation, but also a certain loss.
With that in mind, Boss Zheng outwardly agreed to Chen Xixi's demands, deciding to fob her off for the time being. Then he compensated her five hundred yuan, as per regulations, plus the ten meals he'd previously agreed to provide free of charge, thinking he had finally gotten rid of this annoying girl.
After Chen Xixi left, a waiter standing by asked, "Boss, are we really going to cancel these service charges?"
Boss Zheng leaned back in his armchair, legs crossed, and looked at Chen Xixi's departing figure. He sneered disdainfully, "Ha! Who does she think she is? Really thinks she's a hero who can save the world! Speaking up for other consumers too! Naive! Don't bother with her! Charge as usual!"
Ten seconds later, Chen Xixi suddenly thought of something and turned back to Boss Zheng's office, pushing the office door open and poking her head inside.
Boss Zheng, who was drinking tea, was startled by the sudden appearance of a head at the office door and almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Just as he was about to ask why she had come back, Chen Xixi flashed an adorable and friendly smile: "Oh, I forgot to remind you just now, this is a live broadcast, and the righteous netizens across the internet will be watching you, so I hope you'll keep your word."
Having said that, Chen Xixi cheerfully walked away.
Boss Zheng stared at the closed office door, frozen for a long moment before reacting; the next second, he cursed fiercely!
He thought he might need some emergency heart pills now!!
With the scrutiny of the entire internet, he must cancel the cutlery fee now!
And their family's little incident has been embarrassingly exposed online! How can the shop continue to operate now!!
...
Nanxing Entertainment CEO's office.
Lu Wenling sitting in the boss chair, turned the computer screen towards the man sitting across from him.
On the display was the live broadcast of the variety show "Money Saving Battle," featuring the scene of Chen Xixi having her free lunch.
After a moment, he looked at the man sitting across, dressed in a black bespoke suit exuding an air of noble grace.
His careless tone was tinged with smugness, the kind that's obviously fishing for compliments: "What do you think? Isn't this new program I invested in interesting?"
Zhou Jinyuan leaned back relaxed in his chair, resting his chin in one hand, his cool gaze lingered on the girl on the computer screen for a long time before he uttered indifferently: "Not bad."
Lu Wenling's lips curled up into a smile, unable to hide his delight. Getting a 'not bad' from Zhou Jinyuan was indeed high praise.
After all, this Crown Prince is usually so particular and strict about his work.
Lu Wenling, feeling flattered from the praise, finished talking about serious matters and started chatting in a less serious tone: "Mainly, what do you think about this girl? I find her really suitable for me, especially her spirit, that carefree vigor of doing whatever she wants without caring about others' opinions, and her reluctance to suffer losses. Not to mention her looks, pure with a bit of seduction, tsk tsk, perfectly to my taste! She's like a fairy sent to earth just to cross paths with me!"
Zhou Jinyuan lifted his eyelids to glance at him.
That look was somewhat cold, leaving Lu Wenling stunned, and he thought he could faintly make out the words 'shameless' coming from Zhou Jinyuan's indifferent face, which were extremely uncharacteristic for someone of his stature.
With a single look, Zhou Jinyuan lowered his eyelashes and continued watching the girl on the computer screen.
Lu Wenling convinced himself that he must have been mistaken, then continued: "Just don't know if she has a boyfriend."
He paused, then added: "But even if she does, it doesn't matter, I can wait for them to break up. A girl this interesting is worth my time and effort!"
"It's none of your business whether she has a boyfriend or not." Zhou Jinyuan, having been silent until now, finally spoke up without even looking up, cutting off Lu Wenling from continuing his daydream.
"What do you mean by that? How could someone like me not be to her liking?" Lu Wenling said, suddenly stopping as he seemed to realize something. He narrowed his eyes: "How do you know? Don't tell me you have a crush on her? Or... are you her boyfriend?"
If there was someone or something Lu Wenling couldn't get, it was what belonged to Zhou Jinyuan.
It wasn't that he couldn't compete, but that he wouldn't dare.
As someone who grew up with Zhou Jinyuan, he had too many secrets in Jinyuan's hands!
Just one leak from Zhou Jinyuan would probably be enough for him to social death in this world.
He wasn't afraid of any kind of death, except for a social one.
His body could be shattered to pieces without fear, but he must maintain his clean image in the world!
No sooner had Lu Wenling spoken, Zhou Jinyuan's phone beeped twice. Uninterested in continuing the conversation with Lu Wenling, he took the phone out from the pocket of his suit pants and glanced at it.
The screen showed two text messages. Zhou Jinyuan unlocked his phone to read them.
The first message read: "Ci Yuan Pharmacy: Dear member, hello! During our anniversary celebration this week, present your registered phone number to enjoy a 12% discount on all health care products!"
The second message read: "Ci Yuan Pharmacy: Dear member, hello! Next Wednesday, our store will invite a famous heart and brain specialist from Hai City for a health lecture. Use your registered phone number for free access to professional health consulting! At the end of the lecture, you can also receive a kilogram of eggs for free!"
Zhou Jinyuan frowned slightly. When did he ever sign up for membership at the pharmacy?
