"To get on the trending topics list, you have to pay to get it!"
The two people's friends immediately shared the video on their WeChat Moments upon seeing it.
They then bought a trending topic for the video.
He can't be the only one celebrating this good thing.
Then they sent messages to Yang Heng and Shen Chengyue to inquire about the situation.
He watched more than one video; he kept refreshing the feed to see several videos from different times and angles at the scene.
He was laughing so hard he almost choked.
From the very beginning, it was a scene where only Shen Chengyue stood awkwardly in the middle of the crowd, holding a steak, with nowhere to hide from the sound of the suona.
Then came the scene of Shen Chengyue awkwardly eating the entire steak in one bite.
Then, when Yang Heng was pulled into the frame by Shen Chengyue, another victim was added.
Yang Heng's sleazy, shameless demeanor, with his face buried the entire time, made him instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with him.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yue, what's going on with you guys? Trying out some life experience?"
Shen Chengyue's circle consists of wealthy second-generation individuals of the same age in Koucheng, all of whom are prone to causing trouble.
Seeing such a hilarious situation, how could one not want to laugh?
This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time.
So, before Shen Chengyue and Yang Heng had even escaped the scene, the fact that they were eating steak, drinking red wine, and listening to suona music by the roadside became a trending topic.
Their phones were bombarded with calls from acquaintances.
Shen Chengyue only then snapped out of his reverie about the delicious steak and saw a string of messages from his friends. He clicked on each one, and the more he read, the darker his face became.
Then he quietly walked to the stall and paid nine thousand yuan.
Although the steak tasted great, the awful dining environment was a bit too much for him.
Shen Chengyue clutched his injured chest and gave Lin Zhou a resentful look.
After Lin Zhou finished playing a piece and put down his suona, ignoring the armor on his head, his manners really gave one the feeling of being in a Western restaurant.
"Please take care, gentlemen. Welcome to visit again next time!"
Lin Zhou was also surprised to receive 9,000 yuan at once.
It seems he was overthinking it. Three thousand yuan isn't expensive, otherwise no one would come to spend money.
Lin Zhou felt quite uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.
He didn't feel anything while he was immersed in the performance; after all, with a mask, sunglasses, and hat on, no one knew who he was.
Moreover, there were other diners who were just as embarrassed as him.
Lin Zhou thought of himself as a tool, which made things alright.
The guests have finished eating and are getting ready to leave.
Lin Zhou felt embarrassed again at the thought of facing so many onlookers all by himself.
He glanced at the system interface and saw that today's stall check-in was completed on the task calendar, and breathed a sigh of relief.
We can retreat now.
So, surrounded by onlookers, Lin Zhou simply packed up his stall and left.
There wasn't much to pack up at the steak stand; there was very little stock left. His quick packing up caught the onlookers off guard.
We haven't had enough of the suona music yet, and they're already closing up shop?
"I haven't had enough yet, and they're already packing up?"
"They've already closed up their stall after just setting it up?"
"Hilarious! Some sucker's come along, making nine thousand in a minute, and they're not even packing up yet?"
"These three steaks are enough for my monthly salary! My goodness, making money is too easy! What do you think about setting up a steak stand like this?"
"Go ahead and laugh, why aren't you laughing? You're making people feel awkward, but they earn two months' worth of your money in half an hour."
The average salary in Koucheng is only around four thousand, so this guy suddenly earned nine thousand, which really left the onlookers speechless.
They're making money here, what are they grinning about for? I have no idea.
The passersby, who had lost their composure, gradually left after Lin Zhou left.
Follow-up videos about the incident have also appeared online.
In a short period of time, netizens have been bombarded with one piece of gossip after another.
First, I was shocked by the steak and wine set meal sold at a roadside stall for 3,000 yuan, accompanied by suona music.
Then the identities of the three people in the video were revealed, leading to a series of revelations that kept netizens digging deeper to find other videos to watch.
Lin Zhou's achievement of earning nine thousand in half an hour left all the onlookers speechless.
"Is it really that easy to make money off fools these days? It makes me want to set up a street stall."
"Two idiots: Are you being polite?"
"To be honest, the stall owner is a master at playing the suona; he plays it really well."
"You don't understand. There are many masters of folk music among the people."
"Nine thousand yuan, that's three months' salary for me! My god, who would go to eat there!"
"I saw friends of these two guests appear in the video below. They seem to be rich second-generation. Their Douyin (TikTok) pages are full of sports cars and mansions. I guess they are not short of money."
"......"
When Lin Zhou returned home, he had not only messages from Pan Yuan, but also messages from Uncle Zhang.
It's clear that everyone saw it trending on social media.
Lin Zhou, who hadn't checked his phone, was shocked when he saw the video they shared.
These onlookers can just watch, but why did they have to film it and post it online?!
He didn't even show his face, how did these people recognize him?
Lin Zhou regretted taking on the task for a moment.
How did he find the task so challenging that he impulsively accepted it?
Oh right, he wanted to show off his newly acquired musical instrument skills.
Feeling like crying but having no tears, Lin Zhou pretended not to see anything, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and escaped reality.
Needless to say, the video went viral.
Those regular diners must have seen it too.
He didn't even dare to imagine what he would experience when he set up his stall tomorrow.
If those regular diners come, it won't just be a matter of whether it's awkward or not.
He was afraid those people would cause trouble, and he didn't dare to think about what he would face then.
......
Meanwhile, the regular customers who had found out about Mr. Lin's stall location on Monday without any warning were already celebrating.
In the customer group of Mr. Lin's steamed bun stall, those who have money and time to spare have already started booking tickets.
“Boss Lin has been setting up a stall in Koucheng a lot lately. I need to buy a house in Koucheng. Otherwise, it’s too inconvenient to travel back and forth and stay in hotels.”
These words startled the group members who were chatting happily.
My good mood instantly vanished.
"Damn rich people! A steak that costs three thousand dollars? I can't afford it this week."
"What kind of family does this? They can just buy a house whenever they want."
"Waaah, why did Boss Lin have to set up a stall in Koucheng? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Jiangdong?"
"Knowing where Boss Lin sets up his stall is even more painful than not knowing, because I can't afford it!"
"Ahhh, so many of Boss Lin's fans on my WeChat Moments are showing off their trips to Koucheng to see him. I'm going to go after these rich people."
"I always thought everyone was equally poor, until Boss Lin sold a steak for three thousand dollars, and I realized that everyone was going to eat it, and that's when I realized that I was the only one who was poor!"
