Chapter 74: The social death of a person
Well, although I don’t know if this grandma is implying something about him, the degree to which she is obsessed is exactly the same as his grandfather’s.
Guo Gaoang said goodbye to the old lady with a stiff smile and joined the crowd.
"Hey, buddy, what are you guys shouting about? Why aren't you leaving after getting the fried skewers today?" Guo Gaoang asked the young man at the end of the crowd.
"We're writing a petition in blood, asking the boss to sell milk ice cream tomorrow!"
"Ah? What? Why does the boss want to sell milk ice? The fried skewers are so delicious, I want to eat them even if you don't!" Guo Gaoang became anxious when he heard it. He was planning to place an order and stock up tomorrow!
"Have you tasted the milk ice cream made by the boss?" the young man asked disdainfully.
"You mean, this one in your hand?" Guo Gaoang leaned in closer to look at the refreshing green sand-like syrup in the young man's hand, and found that there were mung beans and osmanthus flowers on it.
"Yes, this is a gift from the boss when we bought fried skewers today. One cup per person." Seeing Guo Gaoang staring at his mung bean and milk smoothie, the young man quickly stepped to the side and held the smoothie in his arms.
"...Is it delicious?" Guo Gaoang asked without caring about the boy's protective look of the food.
The young man nodded quickly.
After getting a positive answer, Guo Gaoang suddenly remembered the bowl of refreshing and colorful Qingbuliang that Zhao Xiaojing had posted on her WeChat Moments.
How could he have forgotten that Zhao was also very good at making sweet soup, even though he had only seen photos of it!
Gulp...
Just as he was envy-inducing this, other people in the crowd began to shout slogans in unison. Guo Gaoang was also excited when he heard it, and he also shouted loudly along with them.
"Selling smoothies! Selling smoothies! Selling smoothies!"
The customers gathered around the stall and shouted in unison, becoming more and more excited. One by one, they even began to clench their fists, raising them with every shout, as if they were about to start an uprising.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was still in the center of the crowd, once again felt that she was socially dead.
What's going on? They start to make trouble whenever they meet these old customers!
She was still trying to explain to everyone why he suddenly started shouting!
Even passersby started taking videos and walked over here...
"Everyone stop and listen to me!"
Zhao Xiaojing shouted a few words with great effort, but the guests seemed to be addicted to shouting. They raised their fists while shouting and laughed happily, and couldn't stop at all.
Seeing that some passersby also joined in the fun for no apparent reason...
Li Donglai saw this scene from a distance. The people surrounding the stall raised their fists and stretched and clenched them. He could vaguely hear someone shouting something, but he couldn't make it out after listening for a long time. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After thinking about it, I ran over.
"What are you doing? Didn't you come here to see what's going on? Why are you shouting? What are you shouting about?"
Li Donglai pulled Guo Gaoang who was raising his fist. Guo Gaoang turned his head and the excited smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Oh, I forgot something important... I just..."
Guo Gaoang hurriedly pulled Li Donglai aside and told him what had happened.
When Li Donglai heard this, he felt sick all over.
"We haven't even resolved what happened this afternoon, and you're still here yelling along? What's this like? Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate? You haven't even cleaned up your act yet. What if the boss finds out and doesn't want to sell anymore? And you're still yelling!"
Li Donglai was not overwhelmed by the newly made milk ice that Guo Gaoang mentioned. He was speechless after hearing it.
After hearing what Li Donglai said, Guo Gaoang finally came to his senses.
"What should we do then?"
"Let them stop first, there's a huge crowd of passersby!"
Li Donglai is a person who loves to be lively. If it were normal times, he would be excited with Guo Gaoang. If passers-by saw him, he would be even more excited and feel very happy to be the center of attention.
But he is also a responsible and careful person. He was afraid that the situation caused by his initial obsession with buying fried skewers would cause trouble to Zhao Xiaojing.
After Li Dong finished speaking, he walked towards the crowd.
"Stop shouting."
"Stop shouting."
"Stop."
He moved back and forth among the crowd, constantly patting the shoulders of those who were shouting excitedly, asking them to stop.
"Brother Li, you're here."
"Group leader."
"Hello, group leader."
Most people knew the group leader Li Donglai. When they saw him shouting "stop" with a serious face, they gradually stopped and patted the people next to them to signal.
The shouting gradually subsided, Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took down her hands that were covering her cheeks, and the crowd burst into laughter again.
Li Donglai walked to the stall.
"Everyone stop for a moment."
"I created this group, and I feel I have an obligation to be responsible to everyone and my boss. Please listen to me."
"I know everyone loves the boss's food. We're making a scene today partly because we really want to buy some smoothies, and partly because we think it's fun. The more embarrassed the boss is, the funnier it is. This kind of behavior wouldn't be a big deal for an extrovert, but the boss's social anxiety is obvious to everyone. Do you think he's as happy as you are every time he makes a scene?"
"If you want to buy what the boss makes, you have to find a way to buy it. This is too much of an overreach. If the boss stops selling it one day, he can open a stall somewhere else, but where else can we buy from?"
The crowd, overwhelmed by excitement, calmed down after hearing Li Donglai's words, and began to recall the cursing incident in the group at noon. At that time, the group leader also talked about the reason why the boss sold fried skewers in this way.
At that time, the group leader repeatedly emphasized that setting up the stall in this way was not the boss's intention, and he was afraid that things would become too extreme and cause the boss to not want to sell fried skewers anymore.
Everyone suddenly woke up.
"Boss, I'm sorry."
"Boss, please don't mind. Please don't stop setting up the stall."
"boss……"
"Alright, alright, we all just like to have fun. The boss knows everything and he never blames you. Don't do this again next time. Let's all go home."
Seeing that everyone had reacted, Li Donglai waved at the crowd and slowed down his tone.
Seeing this, everyone picked up the fried skewers and left obediently.
Zhao Xiaojing gave Li Donglai a thumbs up in admiration.
This leadership is amazing! It's a pity that she doesn't have it.
Guo Gaoang then ran over from the side, looked at Li Donglai and looked at Zhao Xiaojing awkwardly.
"that……"
"Student Zhao, did you see the message I sent you?"
Guo Gaoang scratched his head, thought for a long time, and then spoke with courage.
“I see…”
"Do you know what happened that afternoon?"
Li Donglai continued to ask.
"Got it, I checked the group messages."
“…”
Zhao Xiaojing's answer silenced the two of them for a moment, and they didn't know what to say next.
"Brother Li, Mr. Guo, I'm not as fragile as you think. Opening a business means facing different opinions. You don't have to bear the psychological burden."
Seeing that the two were silent, Zhao Xiaojing hurried to comfort them.
