Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 329: My Priceless Treasure

Xie Qingci noticed Yu Xia’s ears were a bit red but didn’t ask anything. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and continued with the main topic.

"This might be the secret code to find the first location."

Besides Sun Wukong holding the Jingu Bang, the flyer was full of bright colors and two lines of text.

"Do you want to get rich?"

"Anyway, my Old Sun super duper wants to!"

Such a vivid promotional phrase, just this simple dialogue, the terrifying image of Sun Wukong wearing a tutu, with bright red eyeshadow and pouting, leapt off the page.

Yu Xia felt like her eyes were pricked by a chili pepper, and she read the line again, scrunching her face in disgust as she pushed the flyer towards Xie Qingci.

"Come on, memorize this secret code, and don’t get a single word wrong, okay?"

Xie Qingci was silent for a moment and then asked her, "Sister, I think my memory isn’t as good as yours, so you memorize it."

"You can’t even memorize this line? That’s not a bad memory; that’s a bad brain."

"...Anyway, you memorize it?"

Yu Xia also paused momentarily and admitted with difficulty, "My brain’s not that good either."

Xie Qingci: "..."

[This is my wife, she’s got a few screws loose and slipped away for a moment, I’m sorry, I’ll take her back now]

[Hahaha, I can see that both of you aren’t too bright]

[Is it really that hard to say this line? Why don’t you both give it a try for everyone to hear]

[I came here to see secret crushes become true and subtle flirting, not to witness a contest of airheads]

[Xie Qingci is just like a quiet scholar guarding a rebellious wanderer, Lan Hui and Yu Xia can say something, but he’s not happy, who is this killing, I’m not saying]

[No wonder the brother debuted based on his looks; even with such an adorable plush toy, he’s so charming! It’s so cute when he obediently follows along, but when he stretches out his hand to block people bumping into Yu Xia, you can see the veins popping, who understands, who gets what I’m into!]

[Can’t stay in a room for ten bucks, but can piss someone off, hahaha]

[Yu Xia, don’t even think about removing First-class Building as an option, they’ve already blacklisted you]

[Shopkeeper: Five thousand in price, you chop it down to just fifty-six cents, do I have "come chop me if you’re a buddy" written on my face?]

[Hurry, hurry, Song Xi and the other team have found clues too!]

The barrage was lively and bustling, but on screen, they were silent.

Neither could convince the other, and neither could open their mouth, so Yu Xia simply carried the flyer with her, planning to improvise when the time came.

Exiting the alleyway, they crouched carefully at the corner of the wall, peeking out for a while until they were sure it was safe before they sneakily slipped into the crowd.

They found a kind person to ask about the location of the peculiar bank, but the person knew nothing, and instead, asked Xie Qingci where he got the swan pillow.

Yu Xia sensed she was interested not in the pillow, but in the person displaying it.

Eager to find the place quickly and not wanting to waste too much time on unrelated people, she continued walking forward while firmly refusing, "It’s a limited edition, the last one in the world."

The person made a regretful sound and hesitantly asked, "But the one he has, is it for sale? Money is not a problem, I just, well, need this gentleman to show me how to wear it."

Yu Xia continued to refuse, "It’s priceless, so stop dreaming."

"Then it’s just that the price isn’t right, how about this, I’ll give you enough silver to buy the First-class Building, how about it? Will you sell?"

This time, Yu Xia stopped.

She turned to look at Xie Qingci, battled internally for over ten seconds, and hesitantly said, "How about...?"

Xie Qingci smiled, "A must-have for escape can’t be that simple, I think this swan pillow might play a role later on."

Not sure whether it was these words that convinced her or his smile that quelled her desire to trade a teammate for money, ultimately, that passerby received a rejection.

Then Yu Xia picked up the pace moving forward.

She was afraid if she stayed any longer, she might give in.

Xie Qingci seemed deeply hurt by her earlier hesitation, silently following behind her with the swan pillow around his neck.

Although the plush toy was cute, at a glance, it truly looked like a big floating goose ring. A grown man standing up in the water with a big goose float around his neck...

Can’t think about it, can’t think about it.

Yu Xia quickened her pace again, weaving through the crowd, sticking to walls, hiding behind others, ducking and dodging until they finally found that whimsical "Do You Want to Get Rich Co., Ltd."

It was basically a bank.

The location was at the forefront of the main street in this ancient-style area, adjacent to areas from different eras.

"Here it is," she carefully observed and stepped inside, "there are no show markings, so if this is the first location, then all the locations this episode should be like this, hidden."

Xie Qingci nodded, "After all, there’s five days to escape. No matter how big this place is, we can explore it two or three times in that time. If it’s too obvious, the pursuers would just wait at the locations for us and catch us all at once."

As they spoke, they walked inside, and immediately someone stood up and eagerly walked over, "Hello! Are you here to conduct business? At our company, we offer savings..."

The first sentence wasn’t even the secret code?

Yu Xia raised her eyebrows, staying still, responding along with him.

"Yes, I came attracted by your flyer. Can you tell me how much interest twenty bucks will earn for a one-day term deposit?"

The staff member’s footsteps paused.

"How much to deposit?"

"You heard right, it’s such a large sum," she knocked on the table with the charisma of someone handling a black card, "the amount is quite large, so I suggest you get your superior to coordinate with me."

The staff member looked questioning at Xie Qingci beside her, "You guys..."

Xie Qingci: "I can’t make the decision, listen to her."

The staff member was unwilling and impatiently walked away.

At this time, Yu Xia brought up the flyer again, mysteriously and profoundly, "I followed the information on your flyer, aren’t you looking for a fated person?"

"A fated person? We only look for wealthy people."

"..." She persisted, saying the upper part of the secret code, "Do you want to get rich?"

The person turned back and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to get rich?"

Yu Xia’s eyes lit up, taking out the flyer torn in two and shoving it in front of Xie Qingci.

"Come on, read it out loud!"

Xie Qingci: "..." He saw this coming.

Suppressing shame, he recited woodenly, "Anyway, my Old Sun super duper wants to!"

There was no charming cuteness about it, but rather a sense of discouraged resignation.

Yu Xia pressed her cheeks, trying not to laugh, and said to the wide-eyed staff member, "The code matches, right? Quickly, get your manager out here; we have a big project to discuss."

The staff member, who probably hadn’t seen anyone with such a variety show presence before, couldn’t hold her off and quickly went to find help.

Then, Yu Xia and Xie Qingci were politely invited into the meeting room.
