Chapter 11 Feeling sorry for men who will be unlucky for life
After saying goodbye to the three little wolves who were excited about the juicy gossip and Jiang Mian whose worldview had collapsed, we finally returned home and calmed down.
After washing up, Zhang Mo snuggled into bed and sent a message to her college classmate, Yuan Shui.
Zhang Mo: Brother Shui, are you there?
People in their field are mostly night owls. Sure enough, as expected, even though it was already four in the morning, the other end replied very quickly.
Water Bro: o(*￣▽￣*)o
Yuan Shui is a muscular man who loves sending emoticons. He used to work at Sina Weibo, but after figuring out the rules, he left last year and started his own MCN company. Now he manages hundreds of marketing accounts and is undoubtedly the king of online trolls.
Zhang Mo forwarded him a few short videos: I took over a live streaming company, this is a new employee, help me generate some buzz.
There was no movement from the other side for a while; they were probably checking the video and data.
After a while, Brother Shui returned.
Water Bro: w(Д)w
Brother Shui: Are you sure it's a live streaming company? Not a public relations company?
Zhang Mo: A live streaming company, and a legitimate one at that.
Shui Ge: (￣_,￣ )
Brother Shui: I understand the reasoning, but why do you have to emphasize "seriousness" to me?
Zhang Mo: Hehe
Brother Shui: Okay, got it. We already have a few entries, but they're not making much of a splash. I'll have someone follow up and promote them for a week, driving all the traffic to your platform.
Shui Ge: ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Brother Shui: You can rest assured when I handle things.
Zhang Mo: Fees?
Brother Shui: This time it's free, we'll charge you next time.
Zhang Mo: You have so much confidence in me?
Brother Shui: With such high-quality stock, how could you not make money? I'll be counting on Boss Zhang's continued support in the future~ Sending you lots of love~ ()
Zhang Mo: Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I'm counting on you.
Brother Shui: ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
Zhang Mo smiled and turned off her phone.
It's so comfortable talking to smart people.
.
Zhang Mo slept until noon the next day, when she was woken up by a phone call.
The winter sun shone through the gaps in the curtains into the room, and Zhang Mo clutched her chest for a few seconds to catch her breath.
People with heart problems sometimes experience a feeling of pressure in their chest upon waking, which is a sign of insufficient blood supply to the heart. Fortunately, she has gotten used to it.
After she felt a little better, she reached for her phone on the bedside table: "Hello, who is this?"
The caller was the restaurant owner whom Sunny had introduced to yesterday. His surname was Chen, and he had a rather refined voice with a slight Taiwanese accent. He sounded to be in his early thirties: "I thought you guys would be busy until late last night, so I didn't contact you this morning. I wonder if calling now will disturb Mr. Zhang's rest?"
The unfamiliar title "President Zhang" momentarily startled Zhang Mo, but she quickly replied, "It's alright, I'm already up." Zhang Mo's attitude towards her sugar daddy was quite good.
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Yesterday's event happened suddenly. We had agreed to do a live broadcast today. But then I realized I hadn't thought it through. I didn't even ask if it was convenient for you, since I was busy until so late yesterday. If it's not convenient, a couple of days later is fine, depending on your schedule."
Zhang Mo knew it was just polite talk as soon as she heard it. Data traffic couldn't wait, so today's live stream was definitely more cost-effective: "No need, today is today, starting at 3 pm. Is that convenient for you, Mr. Chen?"
“Sure, sure.” Mr. Chen was very happy. “Then I’ll add Mr. Zhang on WeChat and send you the address.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mo accepted the other party's friend request.
Zhang Mo was a little surprised after seeing the store name and address.
The restaurant, named "Haiyan," is a very famous high-end seafood buffet in W City, with a price of up to 800 yuan per person. It has been operating locally for several years. Located in a prime commercial area in downtown W City, it enjoys a stable flow of high-end customers.
She initially thought it was some new store opening that needed to attract customers. After all, high-end restaurants like this don't need to lower their standards to offer group deals.
Something unusual must be going on.
Zhang Mo took out his tablet, searched for valid data about "Haiyan" on the internet for the past six months, and then used the software he developed to conduct a simple analysis.
This store definitely has problems.
The public outcry against the store began three months ago.
Three months ago, a mother was dining at a restaurant with her 4-year-old child. Suddenly, a burly man rushed in, slapped both the mother and the boy, and then ran away with the child in his arms.
This section is covered by video surveillance. The incident happened very quickly, like a sudden gust of wind. The store staff and other customers were stunned; no one had time to react before the burly man got away.
Later, it was said that a divorced couple was fighting over their child. Most people were furious and criticized the man for being inhumane, while others scolded the shop owner for being completely irresponsible.
From the beginning of this incident, it was all negative news.
There have been three incidents of customers finding foreign objects in their food, a waiter accidentally spilling cola on a customer's expensive designer bag while clearing a table, and customers slipping and falling because of water stains left on the floor.
Each incident was like a bomb, further damaging "Haiyan's" reputation, and the restaurant's business naturally plummeted. The once bustling restaurant became deserted, and its former prosperity was gone.
It seems Mr. Chen had no other choice but to lower his standards and collaborate with online influencers. He doesn't expect to completely erase the negative news; he just hopes that when people search for his store, they'll see more interesting content.
Finding three handsome men in the search results is better than finding a bunch of scandals.
Okay.
Since it wasn't a matter of principle involving illegality or disorder, Zhang Mo didn't pursue the matter further.
She put down her tablet, picked up her phone, and checked her current bank balance.
Before coming, under various forms of coercion and enticement, Jiang Mian finally managed to scrape together 500,000 yuan for her, 300,000 yuan of which came from the company and 200,000 yuan from Jiang Mian's personal assets. However, Sunny gave her a huge discount in the end, and the final bill from the finance department was only a little over 300,000 yuan.
With so many people and such a large place, they only made 300,000 in one night. Moreover, Sunny even took out nearly 100,000 of her own money to tip Lang Ri and the others. Sunny was really generous this time, barely making a penny.
Zhang Mo rounded it down to an integer and transferred 400,000 to the other party's finance department.
Unexpectedly, there was still 100,000 left. If only I had known, there would have been no need to exploit Jiang Mian so much in the first place. This thought only existed in Zhang Mo's mind for about 0.01 seconds before disappearing without a trace.
After all, it's heartbreaking to see a man suffer bad luck for the rest of his life.
Then she decisively changed her clothes and went out, used the remaining 100,000 yuan to make a down payment at the 4S store, picked up a 500,000 yuan Mercedes-Benz SUV, picked up the three little wolves, and arrived at "Haiyan".
