Participating in a money-saving variety show, I became famous on the Internet by being stingy

Chapter 20 Miserable Mr. Zhou!
The porridge is free to drink, and you can have unlimited refills.

This was something Chen Xixi had confirmed with the proprietress herself when she entered the store just now.

The two people's behavior of just drinking porridge without ordering any dishes soon attracted slightly strange looks from the guests around them.

Chen Xixi is strong inside and doesn't really care what others think.

The porridge was free, but there was no requirement to purchase it. Besides, if she didn't want to win the prize, she wouldn't want to just drink the porridge without having any food.

She took two sips of the century egg and lean meat porridge in front of her, then looked up at Zhou Jinyuan who was sitting opposite her.

She was worried that the high-ranking President Zhou would not be able to adapt to this kind of freeloading.

Unexpectedly, the other party was quite calm.

He moved slowly and elegantly, as if he was eating in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

But...other people's tables had side dishes, pies, shrimp dumplings and so on, which was very rich.

Their table was empty with only two bowls of porridge. Even if they ate calmly, composedly and elegantly, they still looked miserable in comparison.

[I have already automatically prepared a erhu solo for the two of them in my head…]

[Mr. Zhou, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, probably has never eaten such a miserable meal in his life, hahaha! ]

[Sixty years later, Mr. Zhou, with gray hair, lies on a recliner and recalls the past to his grandchildren:
The greatest suffering my grandfather had to endure in his life was the day he appeared on a TV show with a woman named Chen Xixi... (holding his forehead and laughing bitterly) Let me tell you, that day, she abused me... She didn't even let me eat a bite of shredded potatoes...]

[How can you feel that they are miserable? I look at their calm demeanor and temperament, and I really can't put myself in their shoes.]

When the proprietress saw that Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were just drinking porridge for free and not ordering any dishes, she was stunned instantly!

No wonder he was so polite before, it turns out he was being polite before using force!
That’s not right. That man looks like he should be quite rich. Why would he be reluctant to spend money on his girlfriend?

The proprietress was puzzled.

Although there was no dish, the porridge itself had a salty and palatable taste. After drinking the third bowl of porridge, Chen Xixi was finally full.

She stood up and walked to the boss lady, and asked with a smile: "Sister, are there any activities tomorrow?"

Lady boss: “Yes.”

“When will the event end?”

"It ends this Wednesday, and there are still two days." After the proprietress answered, she couldn't help but look at the man sitting at the table drinking porridge curiously, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, is he your boyfriend?"

If it was her boyfriend, the boss’s wife would want to persuade her to break up quickly.

Although the man's figure and appearance are good enough to make girls fall in love with him, the girl in front of her is not bad either. There is no need to hang herself on this stingy man. Don't be infatuated with him just because of a few bowls of porridge, not to mention that the porridge is free.

Chen Xixi smiled and said, "No, he is my boss."

The sponsor of the program should also be considered her boss.

The proprietress suddenly realized: "No wonder." It turned out that he was her boss, so his stingy behavior was understandable.

This porridge shop is only open in the morning, otherwise Chen Xixi would like to sit in the shop for a whole day. There is air conditioning, food to eat, and no need to go hungry or feel tired.

Zhou Jinyuan didn't eat as much as Chen Xixi. He only drank a bowl of porridge, but he drank slowly.

After he finished drinking, Chen Xixi frowned: "Can you be full with just one bowl of porridge?"

"Well, I'm full."

He is very picky about food, and he rarely touches food that he doesn't like, but if he doesn't eat this bowl of porridge today, he is worried that he might have to eat something even more unacceptable for the next two meals. He didn't participate in this program to enjoy himself. Zhou Jinyuan had prepared himself mentally before coming, but he didn't expect... He didn't prepare enough mentally...

After breakfast, Chen Xixi took him around everywhere, and on the pretext of warmly entertaining him, she took him to parks, kindergarten gates, shopping malls and other public places to get mineral water, masks, snacks, facial masks and other things for free.

Then at lunch time, Chen Xixi actually wanted to take him to have afternoon tea.

What about lunch?
Was it cancelled so hastily?

"I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight, seriously." Chen Xixi looked at him sincerely and said, "I promise!"

Zhou Jinyuan didn't care about anything. He curled his lips and said, "Okay."

Zhou Jinyuan looks much better with a smile on his face than when he doesn't. He looks a bit lazy and casual when he smiles, which makes him more approachable.

It is said that beauty is a feast to the eyes, but when you are really hungry, your looks are of no use at all.

When it comes to food, there is no distinction between you and me, gender, appearance, or sponsors, Chen Xixi feels.

[I seemed to feel Mr. Zhou’s despair through the screen hahaha! ]

[Mr. Zhou: What kind of life are you living? ]

【Chen Xixi: If you can get by, you can get by. If you can’t, you have to make do.】

[Mr. Zhou is so unlucky to be in the same group with stingy Chen Xixi. You know, the other guests and their sponsors all had good meals.]

[The current glory is only temporary, the key is to see who can finally get the 5 million bonus. ]

Afternoon tea is a tasting of fruit desserts in the supermarket.

Chen Xixi arrived late today. Because the distance from the park to here is quite far, there were not many fruits and desserts left when he arrived.

Chen Xixi looked at the three remaining orange slices lying pitifully in the fruit bowl. She picked up a new toothpick beside her with a heavy heart.

She first handed one to Zhou Jinyuan, and then took one for herself, "Deal with it for now, I will definitely give you a big meal tonight, trust me!"

Then she pierced a slice of orange and put it in her mouth. The juicy orange flesh spread between her teeth. Chen Xixi, who was extremely hungry, immediately felt that this was simply a delicacy on earth. "Today's oranges are too sweet. Come and try it."

As she watched, Zhou Jinyuan used his slender fingertips to pierce the orange with a toothpick, and her eyes followed the orange eagerly...

But Zhou Jinyuan seemed to be moving slowly on purpose, not in a hurry to eat at all.

Chen Xixi swallowed silently, her eyes almost glowing green as she stared at the oranges. She suddenly said, "You know what, Mr. Zhou, if you hadn't come today, these three orange slices would have all been mine. But I'm still able to share one of the oranges with you even though I'm so hungry. Do you feel my sincerity in treating you?"

Zhou Jinyuan smiled suddenly: "I feel it."

Chen Xixi: "It's good that you feel it. The most important thing when entertaining people is sincerity. As long as you are sincere, nothing else matters..."

Then Zhou Jinyuan saw that the orange in his hand and the last orange slice left on the plate had all disappeared.

She didn't leave him a single petal...

Chen Xixi was really hungry, otherwise she wouldn't have snatched the orange slice from him.

The sponsors will only experience a money-saving life for one day, but they still have 24 days left to live like this. Zhou Jinyuan can go home and eat delicacies to make up for it after the show tonight, but she may have to go hungry one meal and eat a full meal the next.

So she had no choice but to do this and put up with the sponsors for now.

　Thank you for your votes, beauties~
