How Lucky Cat Saves the CEO?

[Fortune Cat Demon VS Bankrupt Tycoon] Jin Luo was a real-life Fortune Cat. On the day she transformed, she was struck by Heavenly Thunder into a book, becoming a cannon fodder character with the same name who was blacklisted by the whole internet. The bankrupt male supporting character picked up Jin Luo, who remained incredibly calm faced with poverty that was so severe they couldn’t even lift the pot lid; after all, making money was her forte. During a mall's grand opening event, she was invited to make up the numbers. When it came to the golden egg smashing segment, everyone else was cracking open various discount and cash vouchers... only she smashed open a piece of worthless rock. The barrage of comments was full of laughter. But Jin Luo defended it, saying, “This is actually a treasure.” Cynical fan: ??? Just as they were about to send a barrage of mocking comments, they saw her gripping the rock and forcefully breaking it apart, revealing an exquisite emerald inside??? Everyone: !!! And so, later on the trending searches. #A miniature statue crafted by a renowned artist found in a culinary variety show's river clam... #Island Challenge program discovers a treasure chest... #Remote mountain area documentary filming unearths a gold mine... At this moment, fans were leaving frenzied comments. “What does it mean to have treasures everywhere! Please let me follow Jin Luo!” “Wherever Jin Luo goes, it smells of fortune, has she considered buying a lottery ticket? I'm willing to pay for it!” “Hurry and tell us, Jin Luo! Are you actually a Fortune Cat?” Soon, Jin Luo’s "Fortune Cat" persona was on fire. One day, when Jin Luo and a coldly handsome man appeared hand in hand at a film festival press conference... Netizen in shock: Isn’t he the business tycoon who went bankrupt a few months ago? Fan: No, he’s a wealthy tycoon! Jin Luo: He’s also my husband.

Chapter 6: The Enthusiastic Landlady

Jin Luo moved into the room she had been assigned, and the adorable young girl Li Xiaolei followed right in after her.

Since no one wanted to share a room with Jin Luo, Li Xiaolei volunteered.

Earlier in the living room, even though everyone felt awkward, she noticed that Jin Luo's face didn't show any sign of embarrassment; instead, she seemed a bit sleepy.

"Sister Jin Luo, hello!" Li Xiaolei greeted proactively and politely, "We'll be roommates for the next couple of days."

"Mm." Jin Luo placed her suitcase in the inner corner of the room and then went to wash her face in the bathroom.

Li Xiaolei thought to herself: Sister seems a bit aloof, not quite like the rumors suggest.

By the time Jin Luo had finished washing up and was lying in bed, Li Xiaolei had also finished her own tasks. She came over cautiously, staring at Jin Luo's porcelain-like profile, and remembered that she had watched her live broadcast too.

After moving her lips, she couldn't help but blurt out the question she had been holding back in her heart.

"...Sister Jin Luo, did you really snap a stone in half...?"

Jin Luo was almost asleep, but she opened her eyes when she heard the question, "Mm..."

"You're so strong, how did you get that way...?"

Li Xiaolei had a somewhat unusual concern, as others would ask about her good fortune, but she was curious about her great strength.

As a Fortune Cat Demon, she did possess that amount of strength.

The sleepiness in Jin Luo had completely vanished, "I was born with it."

Li Xiaolei felt envious.

After they ended their chat, it was not long before the Program Team came to hurry them to leave.

It was only after everyone gathered in the living room that they learned they were heading to the nearby food street.

Everyone wondered: Has the Program Team changed the rules of the food game?

Under the director's lead, they had already arrived by car at the entrance of Food City.

From afar, they could see all kinds of snacks on the street, stinky tofu, scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, barbeque...

Their noses were filled with delicious aromas, and the guests were almost drooling.

The director's team briefly explained the game rules to them.

There were nine guests in total, divided into three teams for the competition.

Each team needed to find what they thought were the three tastiest foods on this snack street.

The grouping was done freely; two veteran guests, along with Chen Fei, formed one team, and the remaining veteran guest took a pair of newcomers.

Meanwhile, Jin Luo was teamed up with Chen Yousheng and the cute girl from the previous night, Li Xiaolei.

All of them loved food, and searching for street food was their favorite activity.

Team leader Chang Yu had been to this place a few times and was thus familiar with the local delicacies. He quickly led his team members and disappeared at the entrance of Food City.

The other team followed closely behind.

But Jin Luo's group had yet to make a move.

Li Xiaolei said, "Sister Jin Luo, Chen Yousheng, are you familiar with this place?"

Both of them shook their heads.

Chen Yousheng said, "This is my first time here."

Meanwhile, Jin Luo's attention had already been captured by the grilled fish being sold nearby.

Her mouth watering, she said, "There are so many fish here."

Since the street was close to the riverbank, there was an abundance of fish.

Seeing this, Li Xiaolei laughed and suggested, "How about we choose a fish dish? It's clear that fish is one of the special delicacies here, and the other teams will probably choose it too."

Chen Yousheng nodded, indicating his agreement.

As for Jin Luo, she wished all three of the dishes they chose were fish. In the end, her wish was indeed fulfilled.

The three of them continued walking forward, but Jin Luo couldn't move past any fish stalls or restaurants without stopping.

After they were warmly seen out by the owner of the Nth grilled fish restaurant,

Li Xiaolei couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sister Jin Luo, are you a 'Cat Demon' or something?"

"How did you know?" Jin Luo reflexively looked up.

They had yet to find the food they were looking for, but she had already started eating on her own.

Her mouth was full of food, the corners glistening with grease, contrasting starkly with the fair skin of her chin.

Sister Jin Luo's skin is really nice, Li Xiaolei couldn't help but envy.

Reaching into her bag for some tissues to wipe Jin Luo's mouth, Li Xiaolei found her, despite having known the woman for just a few hours, to be quite childlike.

In front of the camera, she didn't care about her image at all. How could a person like this be the scheming type the internet claims she is?

Chang Yu and Chen Fei's group approached from where Jin Luo and her party were. They had already chosen two dishes, both street snacks.

Chen Fei looked at Jin Luo, a hint of disdain in his eyes that was hard to notice, "Have you already started eating? The budget the Program Team gave might not be enough, right? Will you still have money to buy food later?"

Each group had to select three dishes, and the funds provided by the Program Team were limited to prevent them from overeating and then not being able to eat properly when it actually came time to make the food.

Seeing this group carrying nothing, Chang Yu couldn't help but say, "Haven't you chosen yet? You better hurry up."

"And don't use up all the budget on eating."

He saw that the three newcomers might not be too familiar with the rules of the game here and kindly gave them a reminder.

Chen Yousheng and Li Xiaolei didn't speak. After finishing the last bite of fish in her mouth, Jin Luo said, "We have fish, we don't need to buy with money."

Hearing this, Chen Fei snorted softly.

They were filming a show, and in the past, some celebrities would take advantage of their star status to eat at the expense of ordinary people.

In her mind, Chen Fei guessed Jin Luo was doing the same. A web celebrity who hadn't even become a real celebrity yet was taking advantage of others like this. Once the show aired, she reckoned Jin Luo would probably be criticized again.

And that was something Chen Fei was happy to see. Thinking about it, her mood brightened.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman, around her thirties or forties, with a somewhat harsh-looking face, came out of the grilled fish restaurant next to them.

However, she was smiling as she called out to Jin Luo, "Young lady, do you still want some fish? I've got more here!"

"Yes!" Jin Luo quickly said.

She was actually starting to feel full, her stomach round and bulging, but her mouth still wanted more.

So, without a second thought, she accepted when the restaurant owner offered to bring her more fish.

The smiling owner of the grilled fish restaurant came running over, "Young lady, why don't you stay in my shop for a while? You can have as much as you want."

The others looked at each other, puzzled. What was going on here?

Only Li Xiaolei and Chen Yousheng kept silent. They too were stunned by what had happened inside the grilled fish restaurant.

They just felt that Jin Luo lived up to her 'Inviting Wealth' reputation.

Jin Luo glanced at her phone's time and hesitated, "No, I better not. We're almost out of time for the competition. I'll come back next time."

The restaurant owner appeared a bit disappointed at first, but when she heard Jin Luo's latter sentence, her face lit up with a smile again, "Sure, sure! You're welcome to come back anytime."

Worried she might just be saying it, the owner insisted on getting Jin Luo's phone number and WeChat.

Chang Yu, Chen Fei, and their group were even more baffled. What exactly had happened here?

It was their first time encountering such an enthusiastic owner, pulling people into her shop to eat as much as they liked.
