Refusing to Please, She Becomes a Money-Spending Sensation

Upon hearing those words, Cheng Zhaozhao lifted her head and beckoned to them, saying, "Over here."

Four men in suits made their way towards them.

As they approached, their presence became even more formidable. Underneath their suits, their well-built figures were subtly revealed—a clear sign of a physique shaped by consistent exercise.

While the three male guests on stage had decent appearances, in comparison to this group of handsome men in suits, they seemed to lack that extra oomph, as if something was missing.

The leader of the suited men confirmed Cheng Zhaozhao's identity and politely stated, "Miss Cheng, we are the five-hour butlers you requested. We are pleased to be of service to you."

He added, "We apologize for arriving a bit late. We had some negotiations with the production team upon entering. Please accept our apologies."

Cheng Zhaozhao expressed her understanding.

Witnessing this, the production assistant who escorted them asked, "Zhaozhao, did you really call them?"

It was evident that the assistant had interacted with these four butlers in order to gain access to the set.

Cheng Zhaozhao nodded and replied, "Yes, I called them. I didn't feel like cooking today, and there doesn't seem to be a rule against enlisting outside help in the entire show's guidelines."

After giving it some thought, the assistant realized she couldn't find any such rule in the guidelines. However, she didn't want to make a decision on her own and said, "Let me consult with the director."

Upon learning about the situation, the director was dumbfounded. He never expected Cheng Zhaozhao to pull off such a move.

Impressive. She truly lived up to her reputation as the investor's sister.

At this point, could he really say no? After all, as Cheng Zhaozhao had pointed out, there was no explicit rule prohibiting the use of outside assistance in the entire show. Furthermore, the audience would find it intriguing to see four handsome men, naturally generating discussion.

After weighing the options, the director agreed.

The guests who received the news were all shocked. What on earth was happening?

The four butlers, now that the matter was resolved, inquired, "Miss Cheng, what would you like us to do?"

To be honest, they had encountered all sorts of situations in their line of work, but coming to a program recording like this was a first for them.

Cheng Zhaozhao led them towards the kitchen prepared by the production team and said, "Cook for me."

The four men followed closely behind her, showing utmost respect.

The barrage of comments in the live chat was filled with question marks, all wondering what was going on.

[???]

[What's this? Is it part of the show's effect?]

[Clearly, even the production team didn't know. It was all Cheng Zhaozhao's doing. Since she wasn't chosen, she hired four handsome guys with her own money. Is this what they call queen behavior?]

[Others came here to find love, she came here for a vacation.]

[Look at Zhang Xue's expression, it's so satisfying, hahaha!]

[Oh man, I really wished I could switch places with Cheng Zhaozhao and experience what it felt like to be taken care of by four tall and handsome guys. Sob sob sob.]

As they watched Cheng Zhaozhao lead the four men to the kitchen, Shen Linchen, Male Guest 3, and Zhang Xue had displeased expressions on their faces.

Initially, all three of them had hoped to witness Cheng Zhaozhao embarrassing herself, but they didn't expect her to simply not care. She didn't even spare them an extra glance until she left.

Especially Shen Linchen, his brows furrowed, and his gaze became dark and uncertain.

Cheng Zhaozhao... Could it be that she really didn't like him anymore?

No, perhaps Cheng Zhaozhao was just putting on a show to get his attention, trying to attract him.

How foolish. It was such an obvious scheme, how could he possibly fall for it?

**

Inside the kitchen.

The system's voice trembled slightly.

[Host... Can you explain to me what you did?]

Cheng Zhaozhao personally selected these four men from the platform for hiring butlers. They were skilled in preparing various types of food, such as Western cuisine, Chinese cuisine, desserts, and beverages.

Cheng Zhaozhao lay on the chair they had brought, which had a cozy fur cushion. She took a sip of the warm sweet potato milk made by one of the butlers. The taste was really good, with the sweetness just right, perfectly matching her preferences.

She scooped up a spoonful of sweet potato paste: "Do I still need to explain? I simply hired a few butlers with my own money."

The system's tone became strange: [You... You used that inheritance?]

Cheng Zhaozhao, while eating the sweet potato paste, replied, "Yeah."

[Oh no.]

【Just mentioned, if you secretly use the inheritance, it would also result in a deduction of points. It's my fault for not conveying it in time, a mistake in my work.】

The system's voice sounded plaintive as it said, "Now let me check the situation with the two indicators."

If the situation was too disastrous, even the all-powerful Lackey System 003 wouldn't be able to save the day.

Cheng Zhaozhao experienced a momentary silence in her mind, followed by a cry of surprise.

[Why... Why did your popularity suddenly soar like that?! And why did Shen Linchen's fondness for you increase?]

Cheng Zhaozhao arched an eyebrow.

Indeed, some men didn't like anything; they only enjoyed provocation.

She took a bite of the tender soufflé, savoring the fragrant blend of milk and butter on her taste buds. "Who knows?"

She only knew that these four men's culinary skills had truly won her over.

The lacky system remained silent for a while and carefully analyzed the situation. [You must have been lucky. Next time, we need to devise a well-planned dog-licking strategy.]

Cheng Zhaozhao ignored it.

"Miss Cheng, the lobster with soup and cheese is ready."

She picked up her fork and began relishing the flavorful and succulent lobster.

In the other kitchen…

Despite the plentiful resources provided by the production team, it seemed that the several men didn't possess strong cooking skills. The female guests were growing bored, engaging in idle conversation while waiting for the food, yet it still hadn't been served.

At that moment, Shen Linchen was the first to bring a plate of homemade Mapo Tofu and placed it in front of Song Yunluo.

"Thank you," Song Yunluo blushed slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She took a small sip and said with a hint of shyness, "It's delicious."

The other two female guests looked at her with envy. However, just then, a rich aroma of cream suddenly wafted from the neighboring kitchen.

[Today is another crazy day for the 'Sunshen CP~']

[So sweet, my dear family, KSWL.]

[Just came back from Cheng Zhaozhao's live stream next door. What on earth is going on?]

[A bowl of Mapo Tofu made you guys go crazy? I suggest you go next door and see what it means to live the life of a wealthy woman.]

The aroma of cream from the neighboring kitchen grew stronger and finally reached its peak in an instant. It seemed that a delectable dessert had been prepared.

Female Guest 3 patted her stomach and couldn't resist any longer. She tearfully picked up her phone and secretly sent a message to Cheng Zhaozhao.

[Zhaozhao, can I come and pay to join you for a meal? QAQ]
