Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Originally life was hard enough, now there are five more mouths to feed. Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Originally life was hard enough, now there are five more mouths to feed. The phone numbers she had left at the pharmacy and barbecue shop were all from a scamr.
A week ago, a ssage from an unknown number was intercepted by the anti-scam app she downloaded.
The ssage claid that Zhongjing Group was hiring a CEO’s personal assistant with a high salary, easy work, no educational requirents, ability to adapt to long-term overseas business trips, etc., and said to call back if interested.
Zhongjing Group is a well-known major corporation in Huaguo, a company her college classmates would kill to get into.
One of her classmates joined Zhongjing Group right after graduation, albeit as a non-staff mber, and bragged about it in their group chat for a long ti.
But that was enough to make their classmates envious.
Because jobs were truly hard to find, getting into a good company was even harder. As long as one worked hard, kept leaders happy, and endured, her classmate would eventually beco a regular staff mber.
At first, she thought the anti-scam app had made a mistake, but she also felt it was a bit too good to be true. Could such a big company really send her a recruitnt ssage directly? The job offer seed too generous.
She used her wits and confird with Zhongjing Group’s HR by phone.
But when she called, HR told her they were not hiring for that position, and the phone number from the ssage wasn’t associated with their HR departnt.
HR kindly warned her that there were many scamrs impersonating company or platform staff, and advised her to be cautious of scams.
Though she wasn’t very hopeful, she still felt a bit disappointed.
Damn scamrs are really annoying.
Raising her hopes only to let her down.
Later, she found out online that such lucrative job offers promising easy work, no educational requirents, and long-term travel abroad are typically found in Myanmar…
These tactics are clearly ant to lure fresh graduates stepping into society or those extrely short on money hoping to get rich overnight.
Think you can take advantage of ? No chance!
Then she rembered that phone number well, loathing it deeply.
That’s why she started leaving that scamr’s phone number wherever she needed to provide a contact.
Let the scamr be harassed, serves him right for targeting her!
[Jin Cheng is right! You mustn’t casually fill in your phone number and personal information, or it could easily lead to privacy leaks!]
[Chen Xixi’s vigilance is really too low, isn’t it? Jin Cheng warned her so much, yet she still said it was nothing.]
[You guys don’t need to be so nervous. Just download an anti-scam app, it’s really useful!]
[But you can’t rely entirely on the app, right? Sotis intelligent screening might miss sothing, and so scamrs are very cunning. We still need to enhance our own scam awareness.]
Actually, they had been walking for a while, and Jin Cheng, also feeling thirsty, hesitated but after seeing a row of bottled waters…
He glanced at the man in the mascot costu, coughed lightly, and said, “Could I have one of those forms?”
After handing over the form, the man in the mascot costu looked at Chen Xixi and casually asked, “Are you guys a couple?”
Jin Cheng, who was in the midst of writing his na, paused, his ears turning red instantly under the teasing inquiry, having never dated before.
Chen Xixi replied without changing her expression, “No.”
She wouldn’t pick soone who would starve for three days out of nine, or perhaps even spend millions on online gas.
…
Inside the dormitory.
Chen Xixi’s unexpected actions last night caused the other three guests who stayed in the dorm to have so sleepless nights.
Han Qianyi never expected that her carefully planned ‘kind-hearted beauty’ act in front of the caras would end up setting the stage for Chen Xixi…
Chen Xixi was once again the most popular on the fourth day of the live broadcast, while Wan Chen and Zheng He were harshly criticized by netizens.
She was alright herself, just that those videos clip of her ridiculing Chen Xixi were frequently brought up by netizens as a slap in the face.
But it didn’t matter much.
How could the otherwise stingy Chen Xixi suddenly beco so generous?
She felt that there was more to Chen Xixi than ets the eye.
Zheng He also couldn’t understand, feeling that Chen Xixi was too scheming.
Chen Xixi’s actions last night were akin to slapping their faces with a shoe in public.
The online comnts were undoubtedly one-sided, and the three of them had completely beco the evil contrast to Chen Xixi.
This wasn’t looking good.
He needed Old Zheng to step up his ga in seducing Chen Xixi!
[Why do these three guests seem unhappy? Were they born not liking to smile?]
[I thought Chen Xixi was going to be the stingiest, that she wouldn’t even pay for Jin Cheng’s dical expenses, but compared to the other guests, her character is still pretty good.]
[Chen Xixi: All thanks to the other guests’ contrast.]
[Han Qianyi is also pretty good, she at least offered to chip in for Jin Cheng’s dical treatnt, it’s just that her ability is limited.]
Chen Xixi took a bottle of mineral water and went for a stroll near the city center.
However, during this process, Jin Cheng who had been following behind her disappeared.
Chen Xixi didn’t bother to look for him.
A normal person wouldn’t just vanish into thin air.
Moreover, she had no obligation to babysit for others.
They weren’t partners in a team; they were rivals in an individual competition.
Chen Xixi looked twice at a shop as she passed by, then took out her phone to record sothing, and after that, she went to Fuxiyuan Hotpot Barbecue Restaurant.
If she eats twice today, that leaves only three more als on the free al ticket, aning she can eat until the day after tomorrow noon.
[Why did this store cancel its free promotion today? What is the owner up to?]
[Free one day, charging the next? Are they playing with us?]
[Chen Xixi’s free al vouchers must be running out, right? Looking forward to seeing how she will solve her als three tis a day]
On the sixth day of the live broadcast, Chen Xixi’s free al vouchers finally ran out, and Old Zheng finally felt relieved as he wouldn’t have to see Chen Xixi anymore!
While Chen Xixi had been eating at his place these days, he could barely sleep, with this fierce god watching over him, how could he not be scared!
Afraid that sothing would go wrong, and she would livetream a report on his place, marking his restaurant unable to operate!
That very evening, with no al voucher left, Chen Xixi finished her last three eggs.
At this point, she was running out of options, facing starvation if she didn’t start spending money.
anwhile, Wan Chen had just finished his ran noodles and was deciding which flavor to choose for the next box.
But regardless of the flavor, having had ran for six straight days, Wan Chen was thoroughly sick of it.
And Han Qianyi’s noodles had already been mooched by Zheng He long ago, she bought another box and had so surplus.
As for Jin Cheng, besides staying in his room, he would occasionally accompany Chen Xixi to the supermarket to freeload so afternoon tea.
Initially, Jin Cheng was quite embarrassed, sneaking around like a thief, but later… it was genuinely enjoyable!
When the show publicly announced the asset balance rankings that evening, Chen Xixi still firmly held the title of the number one money-saver.
The next morning on the seventh day of the live broadcast, the show gathered the five guests in the lobby on the first floor.
The host Qian Yue smiled with ill intent: “Today, we will welco five heavyweight gold sponsors, and these five sponsors will join you five guests to experience a day of living frugally!”
Zheng He raised his hand to ask: “I would like to ask, when they join us in living frugally, will they bring their own money?”
This question was very important to them, as their current lives drastically needed money.
Qian Yue: “This question is very good! The show rules dictate that these five sponsors can’t bring a single penny, so all of their expenses today will be covered by you!”
All mbers are shocked: “What?!!”
Life was hard enough as it is, and now they had to feed five more mouths!!
And these five mouths, whom they couldn’t afford to offend, required a great deal of effort to please—they were the valuable sugar daddies.
Despair, just utter despair!
[Damn! The show crew is too cruel! Aren’t they just making the guests take care of five more mouths?]
[They are already struggling to eat! Are they trying to kill them?]
[I knew the five million prize money wasn’t that easy to win!]
[I’m curious if Chen Xixi will be stingy enough to take the sugar daddies along for a free al too?]
[Probably not, after all, the sugar daddies are big shots not to be offended by the guests, they must be served well, otherwise if a sugar daddy is unhappy and kicks them out of the show, they will have no chance to win the prize money!]
[The right move: Take out all your capital for the sugar daddies to spend, make them happy all day, like securing half the five million prize money!]
