Refusing To Please, She Becomes A Money-Spending Sensation Chapter 6

 Chapter 6

After hearing the game rules, the corners of the three male guests’ mouths couldn’t help but curl up. Compared to yesterday’s rules, being able to directly choose two female guests today was definitely even better.

Their competitive spirit was immediately ignited, and they started jumping in place, spinning, and warming up.

When Shen Linchen heard the rules, he quickly glanced at Cheng Zhaozhao.

“What a lunatic.”

Cheng Zhaozhao rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, giving Shen Linchen a disgusted glance.

Shen Linchen: What did I do?

Before the game officially started, the male guests needed to choose transportation tools prepared by the production team.

The transportation tools were written on white papers, and they needed to choose them by drawing cards randomly.

Xu Ren was the first to choose a tool. He stood in front of the camera and seemed to casually exchange glances with a staff member off-camera.

After all three male guests had made their selections, they unfolded the pieces of paper one by one.

The paper in Xu Ren’s hand read “cement cart,” and he had a smile of expectation on his face.

A staff member brought over a small cart and said, “Congratulations!”

Xu Ren’s cement cart was indeed a helpful prop. Firstly, the cart had wheels, making it easy to push. Secondly, it was convenient to use, as it could easily shovel a considerable amount of snow from the ground, saving a lot of effort.

The other two guests looked at him with envy.

However, who knew there might be even better props later on?

Both male guests harbored such a sense of luck.

The second person to reveal his paper was the second male guest, Sun Zaiwei. The paper read “basin.”

A staff member presented a blue basin, and Sun Zaiwei couldn’t help but compare it to Xu Ren’s cart, feeling utterly helpless.

“Hahaha, Zaiwei, you’re so unlucky,” Shen Linchen mercilessly mocked.

After Sun Zaiwei, it was Shen Linchen’s turn. He unfolded the piece of paper with unabashed confidence on his face because, as the male lead, he had always been very lucky.

He proudly proclaimed to the camera, “I have never lost in terms of luck!”

The paper was revealed, showing only two small characters.

A spoon.

Shen Linchen:?

The staff member stifled a laugh and handed him a small iron spoon used for drinking soup.

Shen Linchen:???

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Still mocking Sun Zaiwei, even with this?]

[Let me tell you a joke. Shen Linchen has never lost in terms of luck, from childhood to adulthood.]

[The show’s effect is off the charts, hahaha.]

[Sun Zaiwei: Hello, do you need something?]

Cheng Zhaozhao couldn’t help but hold back her laughter. However, she remembered that in the original plot, it was the male lead, Shen Linchen, who got the cart. Moreover, Shen Linchen became a focal point of criticism from the barrage for rejecting the choice of two female guests for Song Yunluo.

The system in her mind sarcastically commented, [Originally, the cart belonged to Shen Linchen, but that guy, Xu Ren, bribed the staff and acted dishonorably. He’s really bad.]

Cheng Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Xu Ren spending money to bribe the staff meant that he had some plan for this reward, right?

The competition on the other side was about to begin. Xu Ren, having obtained the cart, found transportation to be very easy. However, perhaps due to his poor physical fitness, he exerted some effort in shoveling snow and narrowly avoided being caught up by Sun Zaiwei, who was using a basin.

The most pitiful one was Shen Linchen. There was no way he could win by using a spoon to dig up snow.

The more the production team created difficulties for him, the more he felt that his fate was in his own hands. So he simply threw away the spoon, took off his coat, and used it as a makeshift snow carrier.

Shen Linchen worked extremely hard, vigorously digging through the snow like an energetic dog. He even had the momentum to surpass the first two contestants.

[Wow, Shen Linchen is taking this game way too seriously.]

[This is getting me excited! Go, little Shen; you’ll definitely get first place!]

Just then, the competition came to an end.

The production team checked the snow containers used by the three guests, and in the end, Xu Ren successfully secured the first-place advantage with his cart.

Xu Ren wore a bright and full smile, panting heavily as he expressed his gratitude. Inadvertently, his gaze swept across Cheng Zhaozhao.

Cheng Zhaozhao had a bad premonition. During the selection process, Xu Ren straightened his clothes and walked towards the female guests.

A mysterious smile hung on his face as his gaze scanned each of the four female guests one by one. However, his unsettling eyes made people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were examining merchandise.

[… Xu Ren’s gaze is really creepy; it makes me want to vomit.]

[Quickly stay away from him; quickly stay away from the beauties.]

[Letting him win the competition is really heartbreaking for the four beautiful ladies.]

Unaware of the barrage of criticism, Xu Ren extended his hand and pointed to Zhang Xue, saying, “First, I choose Zhang Xue.”

Zhang Xue smiled at him and walked over to his side from the lineup.

After Zhang Xue stepped forward, Xu Ren still maintained that peculiar smile and looked at Cheng Zhaozhao, saying, “Zhaozhao, come over.”

Cheng Zhaozhao struggled to control the urge to punch him.

She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Xu Ren was up to something.

Seeing her hesitation, a staff member off-camera added, “Female guests cannot refuse, oh.”

Cheng Zhaozhao paused for a moment but quickly regained her composure. She walked out of the lineup calmly and joined Xu Ren in walking towards the restaurant.

“Regardless of what he wants to do, as long as we stand in front of him, won’t that be enough?”

The reality proved Cheng Zhaozhao’s premonition right.

On the way from the game site to the restaurant, Xu Ren kept talking to Zhang Xue. He turned his head and partially turned his body away from Cheng Zhaozhao, as if deliberately ignoring her. The two of them engaged in conversation, not giving the third person a chance to interject.

Was that it?

Cheng Zhaozhao chuckled lightly.

She thought it would be a more clever scheme.

The live chat also sensed something amiss between the three.

[Do you get the feeling that Xu Ren and Zhang Xue are neglecting Cheng Zhaozhao, trying to embarrass her?]

]It’s obvious that Xu Ren is doing it on purpose, just to get back at Cheng Zhaozhao for not accepting his bracelet yesterday. This guy is so petty.]

[Poor Cheng Zhaozhao.]

[No, based on Cheng Zhaozhao’s personality, this tactic won’t make her feel embarrassed. On the contrary, she probably wants Xu Ren to stop bothering her.]

[I see through the true face of this trash man, Xu Ren.]

Xu Ren and Zhang Xue chattered all the way to the restaurant. Chef Jiang was already waiting there, and upon seeing the three of them, he immediately started preparing the dishes.

Zhang Xue’s face was filled with a joyful smile. Even when sitting at the dining table, she couldn’t contain her excitement. Seeing Cheng Zhaozhao being ignored brought her great satisfaction, and she even found herself having an appetite.

Moreover, when Xu Ren chose the participants earlier, he chose her first. This indicated that in his heart, she was indeed better than Cheng Zhaozhao, right?

She felt genuinely happy.

The reason Xu Ren went to great lengths to secure first place was to make Cheng Zhaozhao regret her actions from last night.

He knew that Cheng Zhaozhao and Zhang Xue didn’t get along, and women were the most prone to jealousy towards each other. So all he needed to do was engage in conversation with Zhang Xue in front of Cheng Zhaozhao, deliberately neglecting her. Naturally, she would try to please him in order to surpass Zhang Xue.

If Cheng Zhaozhao knew his intentions, she would probably curse him for being insane.

Xu Ren chatted with Zhang Xue for a while, but Cheng Zhaozhao didn’t show any reaction. He was wondering about it when a strong aroma wafted over.

It turned out that the food was ready. The chef brought the dish to the table, but Xu Ren was still puzzled.

Why didn’t Cheng Zhaozhao react? This didn’t make sense.

However, in the face of delicious food, he and Zhang Xue fell silent, picked up their chopsticks, and started tasting it.

The dish on the table was called “Soup-filled Meatballs.” As the name suggests, it involved stuffing gelatinous skin into meatballs, and when heated, the gelatinous skin melted inside the meatballs, resulting in a juicy texture.

Zhang Xue’s eyes lit up as she praised, “It’s so delicious, Chef Jiang; you’re amazing! No wonder you’re a master chef!”

Chef Jiang smiled nonchalantly.

Xu Ren nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, among the dishes I’ve tasted, this soup-filled meatball can easily make it to the top three!”

At that moment, Cheng Zhaozhao heard a reminder from the Lackey System in her mind: [Host, pay attention! Chef Jiang hates receiving feedback. We suggest you also flatter him.]

Hate receiving feedback?

Cheng Zhaozhao smiled disdainfully, tasted the meatball, and then looked at Xu Ren, taking the initiative to speak, “Well, you’re pitiful.”

Xu Ren: “?”

“In my opinion, this soup-filled meatball still has some obvious shortcomings.”
