Chapter 1 — My Boyfriend and I Pretend to Be Poor Together

After being found by my biological parents, who are tycoons, they criticized me for being too obscure in the entertainment world, and with one wave of their hand, they took me straight to the hottest dating show. The other guests are talking: "Do you like Southampton or Marseille better?" The manager frantically winked, signaling me to quickly turn on the mic to get the spotlight. I coughed softly, turned to ask the anonymous artist next to me: "Um... do you like 1688 or PDD more?" So, the two of us excitedly started competing - who can find the cheaper bargain! Only later did I learn that he turned out to be the secretive Crown Prince of the rich Guangdong family. 1 “Do you prefer Southampton or Marseille?” The male guest opposite - Ly Triet Tu - propped his chin with one hand, pretending to be lazy and leisurely replied: "Let's go to Southampton, I really like the customs and people there." Next to her, the elegantly dressed female guest - Manh Tu Nhien - gently nodded in agreement: "I also really like Southampton, it's a beautiful, romantic city." “So... Marseille, you don't like it?” “It's okay, that place is very artistic.” “I'm glad you love art too.” This hot dating show has always followed the same motif: each season, it invites a few small stars or internet hotgirls/hotboys to date, give out "sweets" and then pair them up for the fan couple. Netizens used to watch it very enthusiastically, even taking over the entire hot search board. But human society is always progressing and developing. It seems that this new season's audience is no longer easy to persuade. 【Daddy! Is that guy's hand stuck to his chin? Why do you keep raising your hand and refusing to put it down?!】 【This world is a giant "Romance", everyone is strong!】 【It's so unsightly, it feels completely different from our salaried life, I can't sympathize with it!】 【Every season is like this, just a few new hotgirls and hotboys, I don't understand who the target audience is!?】 【Aren't the audience the grandparents sitting in the observation room?】 【The observation room is also acting!】 【Is there any dating program suitable for us poor people?】 I was also curious but didn't understand what was going on, just staring dumbfounded at Ly Triet Tu's hand that wouldn't let go. Look, look again. Forget it, even if he raises his hand until it dislocates, I still don't know what brand that watch is. I started to doubt if I had gone to the wrong place, maybe this was filming "Coloring Instructions - Season 2" and not a dating show? They kept mixing English and Chinese, talking about the city, making my head pound. His eyes began to wander, his mind flew away. Suddenly I noticed the manager hiding in the corner, frantically signaling me to turn on the mic for spotlight. I coughed softly. Turning to look at the person sitting next to him, like me, he hadn't said a word since the beginning - a super obscure artist whose name no one knew. “Um… do you like 1688 or PDD better?” The other person's appearance was elegant and cold, and his whole body exuded a rich aura. I thought he had probably never heard of that kind of app. I didn't have any expectations, just intended to make a joke for the manager to have something to report. Unexpectedly, the other person only paused for exactly a second, then immediately calmly replied without hesitation: "Of course it's PDD!" 2 “Purchase interface Very simple, returns are also easy. 1688, sometimes when you buy an item individually, they don't even bother to deliver it, and if you buy it individually, it's not as cheap as PDD." My eyes immediately lit up. Same religion! Truly like-minded people! If you also love Pinduoduo (PDD), then we are good friends! 【It's so fun to watch, these two keep talking, everyone else shut up the mic!】 【This woman is truly a rare live character in the entertainment world hahahaha!】 【Are these two people Long Trung - Phuong So* the dating show version?】 (*referring to rare talents, together they are unbeatable) Next, the two of us excitedly started a competition to see who could get the better deal. Although the volume is not loud, the content is... really jarring to the people around. The remaining guests suddenly fell silent, only the two of us could be heard chirping. Luckily, the director crew promptly interrupted and announced that it was lunch time. All guests, male and female, each pair up, randomly forming temporary couples to go on missions together to earn money to buy food. Manh Tu Nhien is the richest guest this season. On the first day, he drove a Porsche Panamera, and after that, he wore branded clothes every day, with no matching handbags. Ly Triet Tu clearly had a lot of feelings for her, from time to time he took the initiative to start a conversation, this time also volunteering to invite her to form a team. The other guests also quickly chose their teams. There were only me and Thuong Tu Nghien left, two "poor people" that no one paid attention to. So the two of us happily became a temporary couple. Thuong Tu Nghien had to go pick up the mission card. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Wait until I come back, I'll show you a super bargain shopping tip!" I nodded my head, eyes sparkling with anticipation. Netizens are even more impatient than me: 【Just because of a "super good" sentence, that sentence immediately hooked my sister!】 【Hey, don't go away yet, tell our sister the tip first!】 3 My manager is actually a close friend since childhood, just like me, from a poor background. That year, after graduating from university, a pair of "Crouching Dragon - Phuong So" agreed to join hands to enter the entertainment industry, with the final result: returning to their original, super obscure form. Seeing that the cameras on the show were all pointing at the mission reception area, my best friend pulled me into a hidden corner. Read the full story at Nguyet Hoa Cac page. Just now, he secretly used an image recognition app: "Waa, Ly Triet Tu's watch is a Rolex, over 2 million yuan!" “Tch, stealing two million also comes with a watch? Really great!” Best friend: "... This show of being rich won't even reach you this time." “Where did I slip you the branded magazine last night? Didn't I tell you to memorize it at night?” "You there, now you're considered a person with some status, you should know how to act like a rich person!" “Your parents just transferred you 10 million in pocket money, spend it, waste it, live like a lady!” … My mouth twitched. Since suddenly getting rich, my best friend has become crazy. Every day I think of ways to help me hide the smell of poverty, but unfortunately it's seeped into my bones. That day, the management company arranged for me to have a medical examination. Just because I entered the hospital with my left foot first, I was brought home by my tycoon's biological parents. Faced with two young ladies, one fake, one real, my childhood fiance - Lac Huan, the young master of the family. rich, cried right on the spot, not regretting swearing: "For the rest of my life, I will only marry you, An Nghien!" Oh okay, there are so many men, leave it to the other sister. I told my parents: "I'm not in a hurry to get married, I still want to focus on my career first." My parents looked at each other, thinking about how obscure I was in showbiz, and could only smile wryly: "It's okay to worry about your career. Our family has the means, so don't worry." “But while striving for a career, one must also consider the whole life.” Finally, my mother clapped her hands and slapped her: "This is it, I'll tell someone to arrange for you to go on a dating show, earn money and find a guy, let's move forward together!" Me: Great! 4 The task of all guests this time is to sell sundries, it's just that each pair is assigned to sell a different item. My team drew lots to win handmade wool hairpins. After receiving the goods, Thuong Tu Nghien and I immediately agreed and rushed straight to the small square nearby. Another team also followed us to the same location. But it seems they still maintain their idol image, just setting up their goods on the ground and waiting for customers to come and ask questions. Meanwhile, we were loudly promoting sales, and Thuong Tu Nghien even borrowed the microphone. I'm in charge of pitching, he's in charge of... singing backup, men and women coordinate, working tirelessly! "Come by and look, it's okay if you don't buy, don't go back and forth, there's no charge to try, there's no charge to touch, new hairpins just arrived, hot new products!" "If I say beautiful, it's not necessarily beautiful. It's your eyes that are the leaders. Real gold is not afraid of being tested by fire, and beautiful hairpins are not afraid to try it right in front of you!" “In my hand I hold two lovely hairpins, one is yours, the other… is still yours!” Netizens exploded: 【It's done, this woman really used to set up stalls in the market?!】 【I'm so jealous as an introvert, this sales lady is so confident!】 【You should start a livestream, this ability is so suitable for online sales!】 【You're the first star I've actively begged to sell livestreams!】 【+10086, if you sell it, I'll buy it right away!】 Thanks to my loud voice and Thuong Tu Nghien's handsome face, the pile of hairpins was quickly bought up by all the girls. Many girls even asked for his WeChat, but he skillfully refused by... dragging me out as cannon fodder. “Sorry, I have to maintain my girlfriend's virtue, a man who doesn't know how to maintain himself is no different from a rotten person, are you guys right?”
