Chapter 45 -42: Begging at the Train Station!
On the other side, Zhou Jinyuan, after reading Lu Wenling’s response, clicked on the photo again.
The girl in the white dress in the photo was none other than Chen Xixi.
This time, however, after being meticulously styled by the stylist, she became even more beautiful.
No wonder Lu Wenling, who had rarely seen Chen Xixi, couldn’t recognize her—it was Zhou Jinyuan’s first time seeing her like this as well.
A pleased smile appeared on the corners of Zhou Jinyuan’s lips, and then he saved the photo.
At this moment, Assistant Xu knocked and came in, “President Zhou, the plane ticket to France has been rebooked, tomorrow morning at ten.”
Zhou Jinyuan, without lifting his head, lightly acknowledged with a “Hmm.”
Assistant Xu didn’t leave right away; he thought for a moment, then said, “Actually, regarding the matter of Young Master Jin going to the police station today, you could just send me next time, no need for you to personally make the trip…”
And even personally escorting a variety show guest back to her dormitory.
Originally, President Zhou was supposed to fly to France today but ended up rescheduling because of Young Master Jin.
The issue with Young Master Jin wasn’t big, and he was fine, so he felt President Zhou really didn’t need to delay work because of this.
Oh right, also, he didn’t understand why President Zhou would go through backdoor investments for a variety show, even specifically delaying a day’s workload.
Saying that President Zhou did all these for Jin Cheng seemed unlikely, given that President Zhou usually didn’t pay much attention to Jin Cheng.
He now fully suspected that President Zhou was possessed, as these were not actions expected from the workaholic President Zhou.
President Zhou locked his phone screen, looked up at Assistant Xu, and said lightly, “Single, right?”
Although President Zhou was relatively new to managing the company, Assistant Xu had served two Presidents Zhou, so the new President Zhou wasn’t very familiar with the old assistant’s personal life.
Assistant Xu didn’t understand why President Zhou suddenly asked this, looking slightly puzzled he nodded and honestly replied, “Yes, President Zhou.”
President Zhou: “No wonder you’re single.”
Assistant Xu quietly defended himself: “I just usually have too much work, no time to date…”
President Zhou: “Even if you had time, you might not be able to get a girlfriend.”
Assistant Xu: “…” That’s a blow, boss.
But you’re single too!
Meanwhile, the appearance of the five guests on “Money Saving Battle” also made the hot search list, attracting many netizens.
The show’s popularity kept rising.
On the filming set.
Han Qianyi strived to strike various poses to highlight her advantages, hoping to be noticed by President Lu.
Standing at the door, Lu Wenling did indeed see her, but he was more interested in fairy-like beauties, yet as he watched, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity…

Just as he started to get a clue, his phone rang.
A deep male voice from the earpiece: “Come here, meeting.”
Lu Wenling, full of confusion: “? What meeting? It’s almost five o’clock, I’m about to get off work.”
Zhou Jinyuan glanced at the time on his wristwatch: “Three minutes, otherwise that pieced-together famous painting at Uncle Lu’s home…”
“Okay okay, three minutes, I’ll use a rocket to get there, okay?”
Summoned and threatened by Nanxing Entertainment’s biggest backstage shareholder, Lu Wenling had to go.
He thought to himself, Zhou Jinyuan is so annoying! Hindering his time watching fairy beauties!
By the time he arrived at Zhongjing Group, he realized what Zhou Jinyuan meant by having a meeting was that Zhou Jinyuan was in a meeting room having a meeting while he was just sitting outside waiting…
What kind of meeting was this? This was clearly squeezing his off-time to watch fairy beauties!
…
Nanxing Entertainment.
Lu Wenling specifically instructed the photographer that this group of promotional photos must be well taken, and naturally, the photographer dared not neglect.
This photoshoot obviously took several hours longer, and the photographer’s attitude and patience improved a lot, and it was already around 8 p.m. when they were done.
The five guests, having removed their makeup, were already unbearably hungry.
Zheng He, who had changed back into his own clothes, looked at the makeup artist and shamelessly asked, “Do you provide meals for work here?”
The makeup artist replied, “Yes, but only the internal staff of our company can eat them.”
Zheng He’s eyes immediately drooped down in painful despair.
It would take over an hour to walk back to the dormitory, and with his current physical strength, walking back was hardly possible.
He did have three yuan in his pocket, but he was really reluctant to spend it.
Jin Cheng was also hungry. He took out three yuan from his pocket, glanced at it, and then gave Zheng He a resentful stare.
Han Qianyi and Wan Chen had it even worse—they didn’t have a penny on them.
Thinking about them having to walk for over an hour on empty stomachs made them especially want to cry.
At that moment, Zheng He’s stomach grumbled loudly twice, and Jin Chengwanchen and Han Qianyi immediately looked at him.
Their eyes filled with anger, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they wanted to eat him alive.
Zheng He awkwardly avoided their fierce gaze.
“I’m going to the restroom, wait for me,” said Chen Xixi who had just changed.
Zheng He glanced at Chen Xixi, and after she left, he immediately said, “Actually, I have a good idea now.”
Jin Cheng crossed his arms in front of his chest, scoffed, and said, “Another pyramid scheme?”
Zheng He frowned and explained, “That was an accident, I’m innocent, I really didn’t expect that Mrs. Li was a shill, if I had known, I wouldn’t have gone!”
The other three were silent for a moment, seemingly considering whether or not to trust Zheng He again.
A few seconds later, Wan Chen asked, “What’s the good idea?”
Zheng He looked toward the door, and seeing that Chen Xixi had not returned yet, he leaned forward slightly, with an expression like he was plotting some shocking scheme and whispered, “There’s a train station nearby, and next to it, a skybridge. We could go there and see.”
Wan Chen also instinctively leaned forward a bit like Zheng He and asked in a low voice, “See what?”
Zheng He: “It’s quite lively there in the evening, there’s a small night market.”
Han Qianyi also leaned forward and asked quietly, “And then?”
Zheng He cleared his throat and said seriously, “We could try begging.”
The other three guests: “!!!”
Jin Cheng raised his voice, repeating this unbelievable idea: “Begging?!”
Jin Cheng: “Impossible, I’d rather starve or drop dead today than go begging!”
Wan Chen gave Zheng He a blank look: “You call this a good idea? I think you’re really just hungry.”
“This is really our last resort! If you think you have the energy to walk back, then don’t go, I won’t force you,” Zheng He said as he stood up and walked out.
Seeing Zheng He about to leave, Jin Cheng quickly spoke up: “Wait a moment before you go, Chen Xixi told us to sit here and wait for her.”
Zheng He turned back to look at them, sneered and said, “Wait for her? She’s so stingy, do you really expect her to treat you to a meal?
My good idea is already told, if you want to wait for her, stay here; if you don’t want to starve, come with me.”
[Hahaha! I really can’t believe it, begging has become a good idea, and the most important thing is Zheng He looks like he wants to do it behind Chen Xixi’s back, it’s not even something commendable!]
[Chen Xixi: You guys went begging without telling me!]
[Have we finally reached the begging part! God knows how long I’ve been looking forward to this moment! Hahaha!]
[My goodness! Are we really going to do this? I’m a bit embarrassed to even watch!]
[I’ve never begged for food in my life, thanks to the guests of ‘Money Saving Battle’ for broadening my horizons!]
After returning from the restroom, Chen Xixi saw the empty makeup room and couldn’t help but frown: Where are they? Didn’t she tell them to wait for her? What are they doing behind her back?
