Chapter 38: Chapter 35 Chen Xiaokou: Nobody Can Take My Money Away!
Chapter 38 -35 Chen Xiaokou: Nobody Can Take My Money Away!
[Chen Xixi is really too bold, it’s got my once lively and frisky heart hanging on the verge of death…]
[What is Chen Xixi trying to do?! Does she want to go back to square one overnight?! How can she as a girl outrun the boys? Although she took second place last time, that was a sprint, and long-distance running is a test of stamina!]
[I can hardly imagine how upset Chen Xixi would feel if she suddenly went from first place to last! It’s like she would have to start all over again! In that case, the five million would be getting farther and farther away from her! We’re talking about five million here, her decision is too rash!]
[Thanks, I’m feeling really empathetic now, starting to feel bad for her…]
Qian Yue looked at everyone beginning to bow their heads and write names, revealing a triumphant smirk, “After you finish, hand over all your funds! Oh right, because this segment requires confidentiality, to prevent you from looking up online who has bet on whom to win, you’ll also have to hand over your phones. I will return them to you at the end!”
“We have to hand over our phones too?” Zheng He frowned with some reluctance.
He originally planned to check online who Chen Xixi had bet on. All he needed to do was make an effort to block the person Chen Xixi bet on from taking first place, then Chen Xixi would directly lose in this segment.
If Chen Xixi also bet on Jin Cheng, that would be even better.
Simply blocking Jin Cheng from becoming first and letting the wealthiest Chen Xixi start from scratch with him would still be a win for him—it would certainly be better than the current gap of more than six hundred yuan!
Anyway, his goal was to take down Chen Xixi. Otherwise, with how stingy Chen Xixi was in this track, she was almost unbeatable.
“Yes.” Qian Yue’s firm answer completely scrambled the little calculations Zheng He had in mind.
Chen Xixi folded the completed paper with the name and gave it to Qian Yue, then handed him her phone and went upstairs to get cash.
While Chen Xixi was upstairs, Zheng He began to inquire about whom others had written.
His primary target was Han Qianyi. In his mind, among all of them, Han Qianyi was the one with the best temperament and easiest to deceive.
Zheng He’s lips curled into a smirk, leaning his head in with a friendly smile, “Whose name did you write?”
Han Qianyi glanced up at him, then quickly covered the contents of her paper with her hand, softly whispering, “The production team said it should be kept secret.”
Seeing Zheng He now made her angry. If it weren’t for maintaining her gentle and gracious image in front of the cameras, she really wanted to shut him down just like Chen Xixi did.
It was all Zheng He’s fault for dragging them to fetch the noodles; not only did they fail to get them, but they accidentally walked into a pyramid scheme, almost lost all their money, and got a ‘glorious’ visit to the police station…
She had never been to such a place in her life, and thanks to Zheng He’s ‘blessing’, she was utterly embarrassed!
Moreover, within the production crew now, there were only two girls, her and Chen Xixi, and people online began to compare them. So, there was a lot of netizens saying she was dumb, not as rational as Chen Xixi, and the like.
Today’s popularity king would definitely be Chen Xixi again, no doubt.
Han Qianyi was getting more and more furious the more she thought about it!
Zheng He cracked a forced smile, “The production team said to keep it a secret, but they didn’t say the guests couldn’t tell each other. Just let me have a look!”
“No way.”
Zheng He thought Han Qianyi was still upset about him previously using her, so he patiently coaxed her with a good attitude, “Are you still mad about the last thing? It’s all my fault for misunderstanding you, can’t it be forgiven? Don’t be mad anymore.”
Zheng He’s initial apology did indeed make it difficult for Han Qianyi, who was a bit upset, to keep her face straight.
But telling Zheng He would mean, given his character, that he might just block the person she had bet on from winning first place.
Her eyes flickering, Han Qianyi whispered softly in his ear, “Actually, I bet on you. You’re so capable, surely you bet on yourself to win, right?”
Upon hearing that, Zheng He’s eyes instantly lit up. He pursed his lips, barely concealing his pride, and said softly, “You’ve got good eyesight! I bet on myself too! Don’t worry! I will do everything I can to turn the tables for us!”
Han Qianyi: “I believe you!”
She didn’t believe a word Zheng He said now.
[Han Qianyi didn’t really tell Zheng He who she bet on, did she!]
[I feel like with her character, she definitely must have told!]
[Sigh, just seeing Han Qianyi makes me feel tired, when will she truly stand up for herself? Before this show ends, can she please impress me just once?]

[I just want to see what Han Qianyi will be like at the end of the show, how badly will Zheng He trick her!]
After getting information from Han Qianyi, Zheng He turned around to ask Wan Chen and Jin Cheng.
Wan Chen usually speaks little in this program, so when Zheng He asked him, he continued to let silence speak for him.
Zheng He let out a snort, thinking, what’s he pretending for, if he was really that capable would he even be on this show competing for five million?
Then he turned to look at Jin Cheng and asked with a beaming smile, “Who did you bet on?”
Jin Cheng gave Zheng He a glance, folded the paper with the name on it, and replied with a cold tone, “Is it any of your business?”
If it weren’t for Zheng He, he wouldn’t have gotten into the pyramid scheme; if he hadn’t gotten into the pyramid scheme, he wouldn’t have been mistaken for the leader of it; he wouldn’t be ridiculed by his uncle regarding his intelligence; nor would he have chosen to take a taxi back after walking for half an hour.
And that taxi ride cost him 136 yuan.
Sitting in the taxi, as he took the last two hundred yuan from his wallet, the young master whose pocket money had never gone below five figures felt his heart shatter.
He had never felt money being so easy to spend before.
All this was because of Zheng He; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost this 136 yuan of living expenses.
Zheng He: “…” it’s very much my business.
If Jin Cheng didn’t bet on him, then all his money would go to the show’s team…
Thinking of this, Zheng He suddenly realized.
There’s a big problem with this game!
Actually, the safest way to play this game would be to bet on oneself, that’s the best choice; if you bet on someone else and that person bets on another person, then no matter what, they will not win!
Only by betting on oneself and placing hope in oneself is that the best answer!
Zheng He rushed to Qian Yue’s side and spoke anxiously, “I want to change, can I change it?”
Qian Yue put the paper Jin Cheng handed over into his pocket and responded to Zheng He, “Once it’s handed over to me, it cannot be changed.”
Zheng He felt cold inside; now he could only silently pray that Jin Cheng had bet on him, otherwise, his money…
[Why does Zheng He want to change?]
[I don’t know, besides Jin Cheng, who else here could get first place?]
After going upstairs to get her money, Chen Xixi also came back down. She took out the neatly stacked cash and gave it to Qian Yue, speaking straightforwardly, “This is the remaining cash, here.”
Three seconds later.
Qian Yue gritted his teeth and smiled, “Could you… let go?” The young lady looked quite petite, but she sure wasn’t lacking in strength!
In the live broadcast, the netizens could clearly see Chen Xixi holding tightly onto the other side of the money, not willing to let go!
[Hahaha, Chen Xixi really cracks me up!]
[Chen Xiaokou: Nobody’s taking my money!!]
[Chen Xixi’s mouth: You take the money. Chen Xixi’s hand: In your dreams!]
[A hilariously honest body haha!]
