The next day!
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Bei Chen, still half-asleep and yawning, arrived at the bar.
I stayed up too late last night, so I can't get up at all today.
As soon as you enter!
The bar was almost full.
Bei Chen was a little dazed and rubbed his eyes with his fingers.
It's not an illusion!
"Oh, I must not be fully awake yet, this isn't my bar."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to retreat.
I happened to run into Maizi who was coming back from shopping.
Mai Zi looked annoyed: "Why are you so late? Don't you know how many people came for your cocktails?"
It's not that she can't mix drinks, but that many people want to see Bei Chen mix drinks.
It tastes excellent and is also very visually appealing, making it very popular with customers.
Bei Chen then regained some of his senses and realized that he hadn't gone to the wrong place; this really was his bar.
But what's going on today? Why are there so many people?
Oh, right!
It's Saturday today!
On Saturday, who wouldn't want to find a place to let loose?
Bars have become a popular choice for some people.
Bei Chen knew every corner of the bar like the back of his hand, but now it felt very unfamiliar.
To be precise, it's because with more people, the bar is no longer the same as it used to be.
In addition to Tian Xin, there were four or five more waiters.
At the bar, Mai Zi's hands just wouldn't stop moving, and a young man was washing cups next to her.
Apart from the manager and a band, everything else is ready.
Bei Chen then remembered that Lu Jiuning had mentioned hiring employees, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
That's great! It saves me a headache.
I love partners who are so efficient.
"I want one cup and I won't leave!"
"I need a drink to go outside and pour!"
"Didn't you claim you could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? I ordered you a 'See you tomorrow' drink, let's see if I don't get you passed out today!"
After looking around, I found that a large number of people ordered different tiers of the "See You Tomorrow" cocktail.
The name I just made up yesterday is surprisingly popular today?
"How about that? Aren't you surprised!" While Bei Chen was in a daze, Lu Jiuning had already walked up to him.
"You don't know yet, do you? Your new cocktail, 'See You Tomorrow,' is a hit."
Now everyone in the university town knows that Beehive Bar has such a superb drink that has made a lot of people drunk.
The group that came today is here to try it out!
"Now I know!" Bei Chen shook his head, feeling as if he had missed out on a lot of things.
Seeing his dazed look, Lu Jiuning wanted to laugh a little, "Who told you to get up so late? You don't know anything."
Bei Chen suddenly turned his head: "So what did I miss?"
Lu Jiuning looked towards the bar entrance and pointed to Zeng Jian, who had just arrived.
"Didn't we make a bet yesterday? If he lost, he would come here to hand out flyers."
And guess what? This guy has been waiting here all afternoon.
Looking over, Bei Chen saw that Zeng Jian, who hadn't been drinking, was much more pleasant to be around, unlike his harsh manner yesterday.
He really has two different faces before and after drinking!
What I never expected was that he was such a detestable person last night, but in reality, he is a man of his word.
If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't actually hand out flyers; they would just consider it a slip of the tongue while drunk.
We can just stop coming to this bar in the future!
Humans are indeed complex.
Lu Jiuning and Bei Chen went up to the second floor and looked down at the entire bar through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This room, now closed to the public, serves as their office and best observation point.
"Zeng Jian is notorious. He is often kicked out of other bars, so much so that people who frequent bars all know him."
I also know that Zeng Jian has a pretty good alcohol tolerance; there aren't many people who can outdrink him.
But just yesterday, he collapsed in our bar.
And it's only a matter of three cups before you pass the hill!
As a result, many wine enthusiast groups started spreading the word about how amazing the "See You Tomorrow" wine is.
After a while, the wine had become quite popular.
Lu Jiuning was also quite surprised. Could this be considered taking a risky approach?
"It's fine!" Bei Chen replied casually, though he himself was somewhat dazed.
When the "See You Tomorrow" cocktail first came out, it wasn't very popular with bartenders.
It's simply a blend of six base spirits; the technology involved isn't particularly advanced.
Moreover, it's meant to highlight the rich aroma of brandy.
Is it to highlight the juniper berry flavor in the gin?
Or is it to highlight the flavor of the whisky?
It seems there aren't any!
There are too many problems and flaws.
Yet this very wine has become the fastest-selling wine in the world. Who can you complain to?
A hint of understanding appeared in Bei Chen's eyes:
Sometimes, marketing tactics can be more powerful than product quality.
However, the poor product quality ultimately led to a decline in reputation.
It seems we'll have to do both from now on...
Lu Jiuning interrupted Bei Chen's thoughts:
"Oh right, there are also some people who didn't come for the new wine, but for you."
Or rather, they came for Mr. Mask.
"How so?" Bei Chen scratched his head, wondering if he had slept for a year.
Otherwise, how come you don't know anything?
Lu Jiuning showed Bei Chen the video that had gone viral about Shang Liangyu's incident:
"Huo Peng and others uploaded the case of Shang Liangyu's murder to Gravity, which attracted a lot of attention."
Yesterday afternoon, the verdict in Shang Liangyu's case was announced.
The three teachers were sentenced to prison for "causing death by negligence".
