Chapter 510 The Biggest Profligate
But in Qingzhou, Mu Xin Comics Shop is almost universally hated, but in terms of its manufacturing skills, it is not even as good as the cheapest picture book.
How can something like this be accepted by the public?
People who like it will feel that the flaws do not outweigh the merits, and the things inside are so addictive.
But those who don't like it can also justifiably condemn those who read comics as superficial...
The new Mu Xin Comics Shop opened in this controversial atmosphere.
Gongs and drums sounded, firecrackers blasted, and fluttering red ribbons hung on the bare branches, adding a bit of festive atmosphere.
Because the publicity has been very effective these days, there are many people gathered at the door.
Zhao Si was stunned when he opened the door, and then he felt happy: "I can't believe that so many people like my work?"
Hu Xin'er complained, "But I... no, that belongs to our Princess's Mansion!"
"Hey, we are all a family now, aren't we all the same?" Zhao Si was stared at by everyone and couldn't help but straighten his chest and walked out arrogantly.
Although he looked down on comics as a waste of time, he had to admit that being loved by others was a really good feeling...
But the moment he walked out the door, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed.
The people who were originally whispering, talking or laughing at Mu Xin's comic shop suddenly looked at him with extremely sharp eyes.
They pulled their hands behind their backs, revealing they were either holding a few rotten vegetable leaves or carrying a rotten vegetable basket.
Zhao Si only felt a foul smell floating in his nose, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Hey, you guys are not..." The smile on his face froze and he silently took a step back.
This scene doesn't look like a celebration of the opening of his new store.
Oops! There were actually quite a few stinky scholars in the crowd. Those people would definitely not be fans of his shop, and the reason they gathered here could only be—
"Who are you family with?" Hu Xiner couldn't help but twitch her lips as she watched the boy walk out.
Zhao Si is a man who will open a dyeing room as soon as he is given some color.
Since Mu Qing was still recovering, she never took Mu Qing with her when she needed to go out. Also, due to their partnership, her attitude towards Zhao Si improved slightly.
Then she realized that although Zhao Si looked well-behaved on the surface, he actually had a lot of evil ideas in his mind!
If it weren't for her comic career, she really wouldn't bother to work with this kid.
But... looking at Zhao Si's back, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
Sure enough, just as she expected, Zhao Si came back in less than ten seconds after he went out.
Looking at Zhao Si's panicked face, she couldn't help but chuckle secretly. Then she sat down on the chair and asked calmly, "Why, your fans are so enthusiastic that they scared you back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crackling sound like raindrops outside, as if something was falling on the door.
After hearing this, Zhao Si's face became even more panicked. He stretched out his arms and legs, pressing the door tightly, fearing that someone outside would rush in.
Hu Xin'er had actually guessed what was happening outside. She turned her head and suppressed the smile on her face before feigning surprise and asking, "Why are you closing the door? Hurry up and open it, otherwise how will the guests get in?"
"You...you, you've ruined me, you spendthrift bitch!" Zhao Si cried out in tears. "There aren't any customers outside. They're all just throwing rotten vegetable leaves at us and booing us!"
"Ah, how could this happen?" Hu Xin'er said, and walked to the door, "Let me take a look too?"
The indignant crowd surrounded the Mu Xin comic book shop and threw rotten leaves and eggs from baskets, saying, "Zhao Si, you blind profiteer who can't even have a child, get out of here!"
"Zhao Si, you dare to open a new store to cheat people? Grandpa, I must teach you a lesson today!"
"Wow, my Xiaofang, give me back my Xiaofang. If it weren't for your ridiculous cartoon, how could she break off the engagement with me just because I slapped her?"
…
Crying, cursing, provocation...all kinds of voices mixed together, quickly attracting a large number of onlookers who did not know the truth.
"What's going on here?" asked an ordinary-looking boy. "Why are you all gathered here throwing rotten vegetable leaves?"
An old man looked at the crowd's crazy behavior and shook his head: "This is simply a disgrace to society."
The vendors who were selling rotten vegetable leaves were so happy that they couldn't stop grinning. They wished someone knew about the shameless behavior of Mu Xin Comics Shop!
If Zhao Si, the profiteer, wasn't so hated, how could they have gotten such good business?
So, the vendor explained, "Old sir, you don't know this, but this Mu Xin comics shop is owned by Zhao Si, a notorious profiteer in Qingzhou City..."
After hearing his explanation, the onlookers were also heartbroken: "So there is such a scum in our Qingzhou City! He blasphemes the books of sages and saints. He is simply unworthy of being called a human being!"
"That's right, give me a basket of rotten vegetable leaves too. I'm going to smash his door down today!"
"Humph, it's a matter of fate. Zhao Si has done so many evil things before, and now is the time for his retribution!"
“…”
Seeing that the crowd not only did not disperse but instead grew larger and larger, Zhao Si became completely panicked.
Because the attack of rotten vegetable leaves outside was so fierce, no one dared to knock on his door, because if they got too close, they would be smashed into a pig's head by the rotten leaves.
However, the noise outside almost overturned their house.
Zhao Si thought that he might be hated by others, but he never expected that he would arouse such strong public resentment.
"What should I do now?" He collapsed to the ground, his hands and feet cold. "It's over, it's all over..."
His dream of getting rich, his ambition to dominate Qingzhou with his comic book shop, all went down the drain!
Hu Xin'er stood not far in front of him, smiling. "Zhao Si, what's wrong with you? The popularity outside is far greater than we imagined. Aren't you happy? Listen, the popularity outside is so high! Everyone wants you to go out."
"It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to tease me!" Zhao Si was extremely sad and angry. "Do you even know what all this criticism outside means? From today on, the reputation of our Mu Xin Comics Shop is completely ruined!"
No, it’s not just Mu Xin Comics Shop. If the current situation continues, within two hours, the whole Qingzhou City will know that he, Zhao Si, is the biggest profiteer in this city!
