“Sports car?”
“Chu Chen’s car is a sports car?”
Although they didn’t recognize the Hennessey Viper, they knew it was a sports car, and sports cars are never cheap. Which of them doesn’t cost a few million?
In an instant, they understood the aning of Chu Chen’s previous two sentences.
Money, who cares about that stuff?
I open a store, I never intended to make money.
Driving a multi-million dollar sports car, he certainly didn’t care about the money from running a milk tea shop.
Working hard for a month, they might not even make enough for his fuel money.
Under the shocked gazes of these store owners, Chu Chen started the Hennessey Viper and sped away.
Several store owners suddenly realized.
They finally understood that this Chu Chen was indeed a second-generation rich kid who had no intention of making money from a store.
He was just here to experience life and flirt with girls.
Can’t afford to offend him, can’t afford to offend him.
Each of them gave up the idea of asking Chu Chen to raise prices.
Suddenly, a few store owners glanced at each other.
“We can’t let this get out.”
“Yes, it definitely can’t be said.”
They agreed that the fact that Chu Chen was a rich second-generation driving a supercar must not be revealed.
Originally, based on his looks, his business was already booming.
They still had so loyal custors to barely survive.
But if news got out that Chu Chen was a wealthy heartthrob, they feared even those old custors would flee.
At this mont, they only hoped that Chu Chen would enjoy himself quickly and leave here early.
…
On the third day, Chu Chen’s business was booming.
The wealthy beauty who flirted with Chu Chen yesterday, saying he tugged at her heartstrings, ca early.
At noon, two n walked into the shop.
One of them was a young heartthrob, a bit handso, though not even one percent of Chu Chen.
He looked like an internet celebrity of sorts.
The second man carried a selfie stick and phone, trailing the internet celebrity, with a backpack, resembling an assistant.
“This popular?”
Seeing the sea of people inside the store, the male internet celebrity was quite surprised.
He was a celebrity specializing in visiting shops, specifically searching for all kinds of restaurants, and then filming videos to post on sites like Douyin for profit.
Because he was a bit handso, over the course of a year, he’d accumulated nearly 200,000 followers, becoming a sowhat well-known minor celebrity.
Over the past year, he had visited many milk tea shops, of all shapes and sizes.
But he’d never encountered such a bustling shop like this.
Apparently, he had co to the right place.
The male internet celebrity looked around the shop and finally locked eyes on Chu Chen.
“Are you the manager?”
Strutting up to Chu Chen, the male internet celebrity arrogantly questioned him.
“If you have sothing to say, say it; if not, get out.”
Chu Chen replied.
“Huh?”
The male internet celebrity was a bit perplexed.
Usually, when he visited shops, those managers would be very polite, afraid he might say sothing bad about their store online.
But this shop owner was different.
“I’m a celebrity who specializes in shop reviews, and today I’m here to film in your store. So, tell , how much are you willing to pay?”
The male internet celebrity demanded.
“Huh?”
“You co to my store to film, and I don’t charge you. Yet, you still want to charge ?”
Chu Chen asked with so surprise.
“A total newbie, doesn’t even understand squat.”
The male internet celebrity spoke, most annoyed by encountering such newcors.
“Let put it this way: if I film in your store, it’s like advertising for you.”
The male internet celebrity explained.
“As for what I say in the video and how I say it, whether it’s praise or scorn, that’s up to you.”
As he spoke, the male internet celebrity made a money-counting gesture.
It was plain and simple; he wanted money.
If Chu Chen paid, he would speak highly of the shop in the video, inviting everyone to co.
If Chu Chen didn’t pay, he would criticize the shop, saying it was horrible.
This was an unspoken rule between so shop owners and such review bloggers; so without conscience would do just that.
For money, even if terrible, they’d sing your praises to the skies.
Many shop owners didn’t want to pay, but feared such internet celebrities badmouthing them online.
Sotis, just one line from a big internet celebrity, fired up by mindless fans, could put a shop out of business.
Even knowing this was a form of extortion, these owners often had no choice but to pay up.
“Not interested.”
Chu Chen shook his head.
The male internet celebrity was still unwilling to give up.
“How about this; seeing you’re a newbie, I won’t ask for much.”
“I’ll give you a discount, 50,000.”
The male internet celebrity acted generous.
He was actually demanding an outrageous sum. Ordinarily, such a celebrity might only ask for a few thousand, maybe ten thousand at most.
But he assud Chu Chen was a newbie and disliked him, so he directly asked for 50,000.
For a small milk tea shop, 50,000 was a huge amount.
“No money.”
Chu Chen responded. Others might fear such internet celebrities, but he was not afraid.
“You…”
Getting the cold shoulder, the male internet celebrity was furious.
“Do you believe ? I could post a video imdiately, slamming your store online, saying that you scam custors.”
“You should know, I’m a big internet celebrity with 200,000 followers.”
“One word from can close your shop down!”
Finally, exasperated, the male internet celebrity directly threatened Chu Chen.
“Feel free to leave, I’m not seeing you out.”
Chu Chen replied.
“Who are you guys?”
“Don’t cause trouble for this dude.”
“Get out!”
Before the male internet celebrity could say anything else, the shop’s custors imdiately drove him and his assistant out.
“You just wait.”
The male internet celebrity was livid.
He had his assistant secretly record a short video as they left.
Once back, the male internet celebrity dubbed the video, falsely claiming Chu Chen’s store scamd people, prices were exorbitant, and the ingredients were garbage, among other things.
He practically painted Chu Chen’s store as the most notorious shady shop in a century!
After reviewing the video, the male internet celebrity posted it online.
“Little punk, just wait to be bashed, closed down, and lose money.”
Thinking of Chu Chen, the male internet celebrity sneered coldly.
He’d done this several tis before and managed to close down a few small shops.
He was confident that in less than half a day, his video’s comnts section would be flooded with fans trashing Chu Chen’s store.
…
“Huh?”
“Isn’t that the boss?”
A top strear on Shark Live was browsing Douyin when they inadvertently saw the male internet celebrity’s video and happened upon Chu Chen in it.
“How dare he speak about the boss like this?”
Hearing the minor internet celebrity’s comnts, the strear was instantly enraged.
The next second, he imdiately started a live broadcast, publicly denouncing the male internet celebrity before millions of viewers.
Quickly, the actions of the male internet celebrity reached the ears of several other big strears on Shark.
These few were among the rare people who knew Chu Chen’s identity.
They understood this was an excellent opportunity and each went live to denounce the male internet celebrity.
Soon enough, the entire internet erupted!
