Chapter 47 Sweet Love Porridge
Xue Qi couldn't stand it any longer because the sign above the administrator's head was too annoying. He walked over, tapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Hello, you're fired. Due to the confidentiality of the program, a staff member will come to take you away and complete the resignation procedures. You can tell them if you have anything to say."
The administrator's body trembled, and he said in horror: "Why are you firing me? I'm the administrator of Xiaogulou. I was the administrator here before you came! What right do you have to fire me? Xiaogulou is Fengkai Group's property. You are just here to take pictures. Why do you fire me?"
Cao Feng said calmly, "It was Fengkai Group that issued the dismissal order, not the program team."
The administrator said, "Impossible! I need to call the higher-ups! My nephew is a member of the management team at Fengkai Group, a junior leader! How could he fire me? Impossible!"
A few hours ago, the administrator was bribed by Zhang Xun's men, who were willing to pay him 40 million to create a gas explosion.
Faced with 40 million, the administrator could not control his desire and planned to go abroad with his wife and son after doing this.
But he didn't expect that he would be kicked out by the program team before he even did anything.
The administrator was unwilling to accept the situation and started yelling, demanding justice, but was taken away by the police at this moment.
The police produced their ID and said, "Hello, we've discovered that your account received a 20 million yuan transfer from Zhang Xun. We suspect you're involved in illegal activities organized by Zhang Xun. Please come with us for investigation."
The administrator was stunned: "No, impossible! How is this possible! I am innocent! I was wrongly accused!"
One problem after another arose, which he simply could not accept.
Police: "Whether it is possible or not, whether you are innocent or not, we will know after we investigate. If you are truly innocent, we will not wrongly accuse you."

That afternoon, brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong were arrested at the airport.
The police also rescued the other girls in Shayang Building, and based on Cai Xiao's confession, found another secret base of Zhang Chong used specifically for egg retrieval and surrogacy.
This secret base was far away in the mountains. When the police arrived, the scene inside shocked them.
More than a dozen girls lived in the cave, each with a big belly. To prevent them from escaping, their feet were tied with iron chains.
When the police told them that they were rescued, no one dared to stand up and say that they were forced. The police did ideological work for several days before these women were willing to believe that they were really rescued!
In order to demonstrate our determination to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, this matter was reported and handled publicly.
Within a few nights, high-ranking officials in Shanghai fell one after another and were replaced in large numbers.
This incident caused a huge stir in the country, and the discussion remained intense for several days.
In late August, police released a full bulletin.
It was confirmed that the two brothers Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong bribed officials, trafficked women, and induced underage girls to slander and destroy Chu Xing's reputation.
During the trial of this major case, the judges changed three times, and the final verdict was: the two brothers Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun were sentenced to death and all their property was confiscated.
The accomplices and thugs in the small Western-style building were all sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
Because Zhang Tao was over 18 years old, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for multiple crimes and the circumstances were serious.
Yunrong was expelled from school and sentenced to ten years in prison for sexual bribery.
Netizens were so shocked by the whole process of eating melons:
"This matter is finally over, but the road ahead for those girls is really difficult. I don't know what they will do with their lives from now on."
"Those high-ranking officials in Shanghai who have fallen probably never dreamed that one day they would be dragged into trouble because of a teenager's school violence."
"This is called 'doing too much evil will lead to your own destruction! Zhang Tao's death is not a pity! He forced the girl and her family to death!"
"If Chu Xing hadn't bravely stood up and fought Zhang Tao, I'm afraid so many things wouldn't have happened. This incident can be called a bloodbath caused by a photo."
"A blogger compiled his experience with 'Our Delicious Restaurant' over the past two months. Overall, it seems like this show has been playing a big game from the very beginning! They used Chu Xing's experience of school bullying to lead to a series of major cases. It seems clichéd and absurd, but it's actually been planned and unraveled."
"After two months, Xingxing must be under a lot of pressure, right? I salute the entire crew of 'Our Delicious Restaurant'! If it weren't for them, we really wouldn't be able to see the darkest side of this metropolis!"
"Fuck, so Sun Fugui is the biggest boss of this show? Honestly, Sun Fugui has a pretty good reputation. When he invested in a patriotic film, no one in the film and television industry was optimistic about it. But after the film was released, word of mouth exploded. And all the positive energy films Sun Fugui invested in later were nothing but mediocre."
"So, the bloody arguments, murder revelations, kidnapping, and school violence on this show weren't sudden emergencies, but were planned long in advance by Sun Fugui, and carried out step by step? Xing Xing Zai is amazing! My Xing Xing Zai is awesome! This show not only garnered high attention and traffic, but also saved many victimized women. Xing Xing Zai, you are truly the pride of Chinese capital!"
"Wow wow wow Xingxingzai, I love him so much! Xingxingzai is so great!"
"Xingxing, you're awesome!"
"Boss Huayu Investment, I'm number one in this industry, and no one dares to say I'm number two!"
"1. I'm the best in my field, and no one dares to say I'm second!"
"Speaking of which, the show is over, the ups and downs of the plot are over, but who is 7's mom destined to be with? Who does Xue 77 like? Can anyone tell me?"
"Sun Fugui, you're so good, why don't you make a dating variety show for yourself?"
"1. Let's make a dating variety show, hahaha. I want to see it. I've already thought of the guests: Sun Xingxing and Xue Qi."
"Are you guys supporting Sun Xingxing and Xue Qi? Sorry, we 77 don't want to date! We 77 want to be beautiful on our own!"
"1. We 77 are beautiful, kind, and can make money, so why would we marry a useless man? Isn't it better to be beautiful alone? You guys, you keep shipping couples every day, I'm going to kill you!"
"Exactly, are you all love-brained? If you have the time to waste on CP, why not advocate for women's rights and resolutely resist surrogacy!"
"I wanted to eat 77's food today, but it's a pity that the show is over. I won't be able to see the Three Golden Flowers anymore. So sad."
-
Inside the prison.
Zhang Xun, Zhang Chong and his nephew fell asleep.
Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong thought that they had enjoyed a life of arrogance and it would not be a loss if they died. At most, they could become heroes again in eighteen years.
But in his dream, he walked into a dark space without any light.
Just after I stood still for a while, I heard a mechanical prompt sound:
[Zhang Xun, a great villain, will enter the Eighteen Levels of Hell after his death, suffering extreme punishment day after day.]
The Lord God knows all the evil you have done and records it all. The first level of hell is "rebirth." You will become the person you have harmed and personally endure their pain.
[The first level of hell, "rebirth", will begin tonight. Enjoy it! ]
After the system sound ended, the world around Zhang Xun and Zhang Chong changed.
That night, Zhang Xun turned into the female academic bully her son had hurt.
He was walking home from school when he was forcibly taken away by a group of violent men as soon as he walked out of the school gate. They took him to a small clinic and forced him to have an abortion.
There was no anesthesia during the entire process. Zhang Xun screamed in pain, unable to tell whether he was alive or dead.
However, worse things were yet to come. He soon became the girl's parent again and jumped from a high rooftop. The moment his head hit the ground, he saw the scene of his brain exploding.
Pain, endless pain.
Zhang Chong was not feeling well either. He was reincarnated as the woman he had abducted.
He had just been caught for escaping and was locked up in a small dark room and beaten. Those people tore his body apart and sent him to the operating table to remove her eggs.
Not only that, he was also made pregnant and gave birth, and was tied to the operating table like an animal.
Pain, endless pain.
At dawn, Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun finally escaped from the punishment mode of [Hell Level 1].
Zhang Chong found that his lower body was bleeding, his body was covered with scars, and he was very weak.
Zhang Xun wasn't much better off. Although his head was intact, it felt like it was shattered. The extreme pain and torture made them think that they might as well just die!
But they saw a line of subtitles:
[This is only the first day of the first level of hell mode, there will be a second and third day.]
You will become all those you killed, experiencing the pain they endured in their lifetime over and over again. So what do you think? Isn't the Lord God's hell punishment system powerful?
[Humans' joys and sorrows are not the same, but the evil you do will eventually come back to you.]
Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun suffered a mental breakdown and only wanted to die.
[According to the Lord God's rules, people like you cannot die easily. You must experience all the pain and empathize with those you have hurt.]
When you die, you will know nothing, and it will be all over. It will not serve as a warning to the evil people in the three thousand small worlds.
The Eighteen Levels of Hell punishment system is a mechanism specially created by the Lord God to punish evildoers.

It has been two weeks since the end of "Our Delicious Restaurant" and Xue Qi returned to Yanjing.
During the two months of filming the show, Xue Qi's value skyrocketed, and she was approached by countless advertising agencies. Between her income from variety shows and Cheng Kai's advertising revenue, Xue Qi now had a bank account balance of a staggering 10 million!
Suddenly seeing so much money, Xue Qi panicked a little. He was used to being poor and had no idea about financial management at all.
Cheng Kai said, "After all, we are mainly based on videos now. You are so famous now, it is definitely not suitable for you to open a restaurant."
Xue Qi also nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too. I want to rent a villa near Wencheng County and use it as a studio for recording videos. The daily guests will be drawn from the fans, and the menu fans can report. In addition, I want to buy a house in Yanjing."
"Buy a house?"
Xue Qi asked back: "Why? Are you surprised?"
Cheng Kai: "No, that's not surprising. I've been planning to change houses recently, and I've made a lot of money following Sister 7. If you have any needs for a house, you can tell me."
Xue Qi thought for a moment and said, "I used to think big villas were very comfortable, but after living in a villa-style B&B for two months, I think it's not very convenient to go upstairs and downstairs. I want a large flat with a big balcony, preferably a high floor with a better view."
Cheng Kai slapped his knee and said, "What a coincidence! A friend of mine recommended me a flat in the 25th ring of Yanjing City. The minimum area is 280 square meters and the total price is 8 million. My budget is not enough, so I didn't consider it. If your budget is sufficient, I will take you to have a look."
Xue Qi has more than 10 million yuan in her hands. She can use public funds to rent a villa as a studio, and this 10 million yuan is her personal money.
She can totally accept a house with a down payment of 50% to 4 million.
The next morning.
After Xue Qi saw Sun Shaoqi and Cao Yue off, he took a taxi to the high-speed railway station and went to Yanjing City.
When they arrived in Yanjing, Cheng Kai drove to pick her up. The man chattered non-stop, "By the way, Sister Qi, there have been a lot of variety show invitations for you recently. I've sent them to your email. I've rejected all the low-priced ones. Take a look at the ones you like, and I'll help you connect with the production team. Before you record the show, let's shoot more videos, and when you go to record the show, we'll release the inventory on the platform."
Xue Qi nodded: "Yeah, okay. You're my agent, you arrange it. As long as there's money to be made, I'm fine with it."
After Xue Qi came back from the show, her fan base exceeded four million.
However, as the number of fans increased, the negative voices gradually increased. In the past, Weibo and Douyin videos were full of positive comments, and negative comments would be quickly suppressed.
But now, every now and then, fans of Chu Cheng, Chu Xing, and even Sun Fugui and Sun Shaoqi would come and scold her:
"I've watched one or two live broadcasts, and I just want to say I really hate you! You're such a green tea. On a food variety show, you're hanging out with three men at the same time. What a bitch."
"The key is that her fans are saying, 'Sister Seven is beautiful on her own?' Haha, how could Sun Fugui and King Chu be interested in her? What are they thinking..."
"1 is just trying to snatch the chef. It has nothing to do with love, right? King Chu is not stupid enough to chase women on a show like this. Chu Cheng doesn't even appear on dating variety shows, so how could he be flirting with a female chef on a food variety show?"
"I feel like Sun Fugui is just acting for the occasion. Regardless of his abilities, he's always the overbearing CEO. He acts honest and approachable on the show, but that's all a persona. No one would really believe that, would they? If he were really as naive as he appears on the show, there's no way he could have come up with a script to use a live broadcast to expose the Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun case..."
"Indeed. I also think Sun Fugui is quite remarkable. He was able to come up with the idea of using a variety show to expose a heinous crime. It's truly remarkable. No wonder he had to personally record the show. He's really playing the pig to eat the tiger!"
"That Uncle Cao Yue doesn't have much presence. He's just an employee at a big factory. No matter how good his salary and benefits are, can he make as much money as those internet celebrities? I think he likes Xue 77, but Xue 77 may not like him. A strong woman and a weak man can't be together."
"That's right, Xue 77 definitely looks down on Uncle Cao Yue. So he wants to hang Sun Fugui and King Chu?"
"Don't bring us Xingxingzai and Tianwang, okay? The food variety show is over, and you really believed them pretending to be pigs and eating tigers? How could a domineering CEO like Sun Xingxing like a female internet celebrity? Chu Cheng is at least a top star in the entertainment industry, how could he like a female internet celebrity? What are you thinking..."
"You're just dreaming!"
…
Because the plot of "Our Delicious Restaurant" is too ups and downs, with one crisis after another. Therefore, when watching the live broadcast, netizens did not pay attention to the "matchmaking" at all.
By now the show was over and the fans had come back to their senses.
Go home with your idol in your arms, no matter who tries to pair you up with!
In the show, although Chu Cheng took photos and photoshopped Xue Qi, does this mean anything?
This only shows that Chu Cheng has a good personality and doesn't have any airs. You want to say he likes Xue Qi? Wants to pursue Xue Qi? Wants to make Xue Qi their superstar wife? They'd be the first to disagree!
How could a superstar's wife be a female internet celebrity? And a female internet celebrity with a fan base of no more than five million?
If King Chu were to be with a girl like this, their fans would think it was too low-class and unacceptable.
——The King belongs to everyone!
-
Xue Qi glanced at the comments from the black fans on Weibo and the malicious insults from some superstar's crazy fans, and raised his eyebrows.
Xue Qi would not read any messages from netizens using the ID Chu Chengming and would click "read all".
Soon, they arrived at Shuiyue Jinmao Community and were taken by the property management to see the house.
The large flat is located on the 25th floor. The house is finely decorated and the large horizontal hall is bright and spacious.
The view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is expansive. Because the community is located on a high ground, you can take in the old buildings in the city not far away.
The room is also very large, with a total of five bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms.
Xue Qi sent a photo of the spacious room to the group.
[Tian Xincuicui]: "Not bad, the room is very big and well-proportioned. Even if Sister Weiwei and I come with our assistants and bodyguards, we can still accommodate us!"
[Chen Weiwei]: "It's really good. You can marry a man and have a second child and live there."
[Tian Xincuicui]: "Why do you want to marry a man? Sister 77, don't be so rigid about gender, look at me!"
Xue Qi glanced at the group and saw that none of the sisters had any objections. She immediately turned to Cheng Kai and said, "I want this house. I can pay and sign the contract today."
Cheng Kai was stunned: "Such a big deal, don't you take a closer look?"
Xue Qi shook his head: "I trust my first instinct!"
Cheng Kai: "Okay, that's it."
Xue Qi quickly paid the down payment and signed the contract. Once the bank loan was approved, she could move into the big house!
But after spending four million in one go, plus the money for buying furniture and building wardrobes later, the originally full balance will become less and less.
She used to think that ten million would be enough for her to spend for a lifetime, but now that she has ten million, she feels that money is really not worth spending!
After making the down payment, Xue Qi learned his lesson and decided to make good money!
She immediately said to Cheng Kai, "Please help me book a variety show that pays the most!"
Cheng Kai was stunned and asked, "The variety show with the most money? Are you sure?"
Xue Qi asked back, "What's wrong? Will the recording time for the variety show with the highest salary be very long?"
Cheng Kai looked a little strange. "It's not long, according to your script, it'll only be a month. And the recording of this program is in Wencheng County. While you're recording, you can cook for yourself or cook for Cao Yue and Sun Shaoqi. It won't affect you."
Xue Qi: "There's such an exciting variety show?"
Cheng Kai nodded. "Well, this variety show is mainly about your daily work life. Isn't your daily work life just about filming cooking videos and cooking for the two young masters?"
Xue Qi: "Just filming some everyday variety shows?"
Cheng Kai: "Of course, there are some details, I——"
Before he could finish his words, he received a call from Chen Weiwei.
Chen Weiwei was screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, 77 is so mad at me, so mad at me!" on the other end of the phone.
Xue Qi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Weiwei Chen: "I was filming a movie, and the director suddenly replaced the supporting actress with a relatively unknown newcomer! And guess what? This newcomer was dating both my leading man and my second leading man at the same time! I didn't want to get involved in this, but the leading man and the second leading man actually started fighting over the supporting actress! Ahhhhhh, I sacrificed my nap and braved the scorching sun to come to the set to act with the leading man, only to find out that the leading man had a broken leg and was in the hospital! I thought, okay, I'll go shoot with the second leading man. But they told me that the second leading man had broken his hand in a fight with the leading man!"
Xue Qi: "Then resting is good, isn't it?"
Chen Weiwei: "What's good about it? The more infuriating thing is yet to come! The girl playing the supporting actress was clearly two-timing, but when I went to the hospital to visit the leading male and second male, they were like poisoned and actually started fighting in the ward. I went to break up the fight and ended up being filmed! Guess what the media wrote about it?"
"Acting Queen Chen Weiwei cheated on her husband! This led to a fight between the leading male and the second male, resulting in a broken leg!"
"Am I wronged?"
Xue Qi laughed out loud: "Doesn't this prove that you are charming?"
Chen Weiwei pinched her brows and said, "I don't like that supporting actress. She's too evil. I felt uncomfortable the first time I saw her. She also has a particularly corny name, Bai Rou."
On the way back, Xue Qi turned on the hands-free mode, comforting Chen Weiwei while browsing Taobao for furniture.
She put all the nice furniture and household items into the shopping cart.
Before I knew it, I had made a million.
Xue Qi felt heartbroken and looked up at Cheng Kai who was driving, "Please arrange that variety show for me that you just mentioned. This is it. I won't be picky."
Cheng Kai asked back, "Sister 7, are you sure? Are you really not going to be picky? Even though they paid you three million, you will definitely be scolded if you appear on this variety show."
Xue Qi asked back, "Isn't three million good enough? Give me three million, and let them curse at me!"
It's better to be scolded.
If you are too outstanding, you will be caught and become the heroine!
Cheng Kai nodded: "Okay, I'll contact the production team right away. Should I sign the contract for you?"
Xue Qi: "You are my agent, there is no need to ask me about this, right?"
Cheng Kai wanted to add more, but was interrupted by Chen Weiwei's voice on the phone: "77, are you listening to me? You were actually multitasking with someone else while you were on the phone with me, even talking about work! Have I left you in your heart? Am I not your sweetheart anymore?"
Xue Qi quickly coaxed: "I'll send you a piece of peach blossom cake!"
Chen Weiwei: "One portion of peach blossom pastry plus one portion of walnut pastry and peanut pastry!"
Xue Qi: "Women are so hard to please."
-
In the next few days, Xue Qi was busy choosing a villa, and finally rented a villa of suitable size not far from the school.
The second and third floors of the villa are used for living, and the first floor is used for entertaining guests and shooting videos.
Although the villa is old, it can still be presented after a little renovation.
Moreover, this place is not far from the school. Opening a studio here not only allows us to shoot videos, but also prepare lunch and dinner for Sun Shaoqi and Cao Yue.
She wouldn't think the money was too much. It would be a waste for her not to make some money from the two villains!
Xue Qi spent a week to finally tidy up the courtyard of the villa. At dinner time, he set up a small dining table under a tree in the courtyard and served the delicious dinner.
While she was setting the table, two young men came back looking angry and listless.
The two teenagers threw their schoolbags on the lawn with unhappy looks on their faces. They were not as enthusiastic as usual when sitting down to eat, and they ate with a rare dull taste.
Just when Xue Qi was wondering about his childhood, a young man appeared in front of the door.
He stood at the door with his schoolbag on his back and greeted them: "7 Mom, long time no see!"
Xue Qi was stunned: "??? Why are you here?"
Chu Xing explained, "Oh, I transferred to Blue Mountain International today. I live in the villa next to yours."
Xue Qi: "??? Ah, what a coincidence? How about we come over and eat together——"
Sun Shaoqi and Cao Yue immediately became alarmed and sat up straight.
The two immediately interrupted Xue Qi and said to Chu Xing:
"Why don't you go home for dinner?"
"Yes, go home quickly, your nanny is waiting for you to eat."
After they finished speaking, they exchanged glances.
Sun Shaoqi picked up a piece of fried lotus stem with chopsticks, put it in his mouth for a while, and then put it back on the plate: "Oh, this lotus stem is too small, I'll change it to a bigger one."
Cao Yue scooped a bowl of refreshing lotus leaf porridge, took a sip, and poured the remaining porridge back into the casserole: "Oh, this porridge is too hot, I'll pour it back into the pot to cool it down."
Xue Qi looked at them, speechless: "Who are you trying to disgust? Are you going to let me eat?"
Chu Xing walked forward with a smile on his face and put his schoolbag on the lawn. He said, "It's okay, Mom, I don't mind. Maybe they are just used to being unruly and don't care about hygiene. Unlike me, I have loved cleanliness since I was a child and have known the value of food since I was a child. I don't mind."
Xue Qi added more porridge to Chu Xing and said, "Look at Chu Xing, then look at you!"
Second child Sun Shaoqi: "..."
Third child Cao Yue: "..."
The status of second and third children. Danger!
The fourth child is a high-level green tea bitch! It's really fucked up!!!
Just as everyone was eating, Xue Qi suddenly received a call.
Chen Weiwei called her and asked, "Fuck! Sister, you're so awesome! You didn't invite me to the dating variety show! Sister, I want to be single too!"
Xue Qi: "? What?"
Chen Weiwei: "Why didn't you tell me you were on a dating variety show? If the production team hadn't officially announced it, I wouldn't have known you were on it! However, you've gone too far. Netizens have exposed your background as a widow, and now many netizens are scolding you. I suggest you don't read the comments; those keyboard warriors are very venomous."
"Also, because Chu Cheng is also going to be on this dating show, his fans all think you're on this show just for him. They think you're plotting this, and many of them even call you a green tea."
"Out of sight, out of mind. Just uninstall your Weibo account!"
