CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 318: IT’S ZHENG HE’S SHOW NOW!

[It turns out Chen Xixi wasn’t trying to help Zheng He, she wanted to make money in the process!]

[True to Chen Xixi’s form, even doing business with Zheng He, she’s absolutely ruthless haha!]

[How come Chen Xiaokou’s little noggin is filled with ways to make money! Can I borrow it for a couple of days? I feel like if I had that brain, I wouldn’t be far from making a fortune myself!]

[How come Chen Xixi is so smart, when she was so poor while working before?]

[Probably was limited by the job, plus the money earned from a job is just a wage, not everyone can make extra cash!]

[Maybe she wasn’t pushed to the brink yet! Chen Xixi’s type, I guess, has been roughed up by society, and that’s how she developed her smarts.]

[I think so too, not everyone who isn’t in desperate need would rack their brains to think of ways to make money because they have a backer. Only when pushed to a dead end does one’s potential to make money get stimulated. Of course, responses vary; what’s stimulated in some may not be potential...]

[I advise you to take back your words, upstairs. A friend of mine isn’t comfortable with it.]

[I also wonder how ’Young Master Jin’ is doing now, when will he make enough money abroad and come back to show off in our country! I’m kind of eager to see him crash and burn!]

[I’m looking forward to it too!]

At the TV show site.

Chen Xixi looked at Zheng He and continued to brainwash him: "For example, me, you see I never go against Money. We have such a bad relationship, yet I still gave you a 95% discount."

The program was about to end, and the points she had accumulated would be useless once she took them home, so it’s better to sell them for ten thousand yuan, which could contribute to her new house!

Zheng He fell silent for a while, feeling as though he had gone mad.

He actually thought that what this penny-pinching girl said made some sense!

After thinking it over, Zheng He’s attitude softened a bit: "Can you make it a little cheaper for me."

Chen Xixi patiently replied: "Buddy, given our relationship, I’m already being generous by not giving you just a 99% discount, and I also worked hard for these points, they didn’t just fall from the sky! If you keep bargaining, I might just stick to the 99%."

"..."

Only a fool would fight with Money, only a fool would fight with Money, only a fool would fight with Money...

He’s no fool!

Zheng He clenched his teeth: "Alright, I’ll buy all your points!"

"Great, if I earn any points today, I’ll sell them all to you!" Chen Xixi said cheerfully, then took out paper and pen from her pocket, "Sign here, and once you do, our cooperation becomes official!"

Zheng He furrowed his brows slightly, took the paper Chen Xixi handed over, and saw the densely written contract.

He scanned it briefly; it was essentially about settling the payment for the points immediately after the show, and if he breached the contract, he would have to pay Chen Xixi ten times in damages, etc.

After reviewing the pre-drafted contract, Zheng He realized that Chen Xixi had prepared everything last night, and she even predicted that he would definitely agree!

This inexplicably made him feel like a lamb to the slaughter with no escape!

Zheng He immediately looked up at Chen Xixi and incredulously said, "You had already planned to fleece me last night?"

Chen Xixi waved her hand and smiled benignly: "What’s this fleecing talk? Don’t make it sound so ugly, we are here for cooperation, mutual benefit! You save money, I make money, everyone’s happy!"

Zheng He didn’t feel ’everyone’s happy’; he felt like he was taken advantage of!

But after some consideration, the deal Chen Xixi offered was indeed cheaper than the show’s.

Moreover, one point which was originally worth one thousand yuan, Chen Xixi was selling for nine hundred and fifty, so in the end, it was him who got the better deal!

Thinking this way, Zheng He suddenly felt much better.

Zheng He picked up the pen and signed his full name at the bottom of the contract, while speaking, "But there’s really no need for this stuff, it’s as if you think I’d shortchange you or back out of buying!"

Chen Xixi smirked, "That might be true for someone else."

Zheng He got a bit anxious, almost piercing the paper with the pen tip: "What do you mean?"

Chen Xixi took the contract back after signing, checked there were no issues, and neatly folded it into her pocket.

She looked at Zheng He, her eyes curving into crescents, "Don’t mind the details, happy cooperation, Zheng Fatty Sheep!"

"!!! You still want to slaughter me after all!"

Chen Xixi laughed nonchalantly and continued to brainwash Zheng He, "Don’t mind the details, the point is you made a fortune bro, you’ve saved fifty yuan with one point!"

And for her, earning nine hundred and fifty yuan per point!

Making money is just too easy!

Zheng He thought about it and realized Chen Xixi was right; he had indeed saved a good sum of money, having saved five hundred yuan for ten points!

Chen Xixi added, "If I win more points today, you’ll save even more!"

Zheng He was bewildered by Chen Xixi, nodding his head and looking at Chen Xixi with gratitude for the first time, saying, "Right, thanks, buddy!"

It’s just... he always felt there was something wrong with this logic, but he couldn’t figure out what it was at the moment...

Was he overthinking it?

[Indeed you’ve saved money, but the points Chen Xixi wins are also from you, hahaha!]

[There’s a feeling like you’ve been sold and are helping the human trafficker count the money, and after counting the money you tell the trafficker they’re really nice, hahahaha!]

[Are Zheng He’s parents watching the show? If they are, I’d like to offer a kind reminder, better start practicing the trumpet while you can, the big horn is done for!]

After Chen Xixi and Zheng He’s transaction was completed, Qian Yue walked over.

Qian Yue’s gaze swept over the guests one by one, finally resting on Zheng He, "Now there are quite a few guests who owe the show a lot of points, and since today is the last day of the show, we’ve decided to give you a chance to turn things around!"

Zheng He, who owed the most points, asked impatiently, "What opportunity?"

Qian Yue cleared his throat and spoke solemnly, "Today’s game is called ’Justice League’! The rules of the game are that each pair of guests can earn fifty points by providing the police with valid leads, reporting illegal activities, or assisting the police in capturing thieves or fraudsters."

Fifty points!

Zheng He’s eyes immediately widened!

And he had plenty of experience with this game!

Whether it was reporting or dealing with fraudsters, he was experienced!

Zheng He had never looked forward to fraudsters coming to scam him so much!

He must score those fifty points this time!

Qian Yue: "This time, the game rules don’t differentiate the size of the case or whether you win or lose. As long as it’s helpful to the police, you are a hero of justice, so anyone who provides effective help will get the points!"

[Isn’t this Zheng He’s moment to shine!]

[Zheng He, please start your performance, hahaha!]

[Unlawful person? There’s one right on the spot, who often hovers on the edge of the law, no need to go looking for one, right?]

Upon hearing the term ’unlawful person’, Hu Yun turned her head to look at Zheng He.

Didn’t she have a ready-made criminal right next to her? No need to search, right?
