Chapter 10: Just grab the sheep and fleece them!
[Why did the event suddenly end? I just made an appointment with my bestie to go eat for free tomorrow! ]
[Wanchen and Zheng Hehan Qianyi were so unlucky that the event ended just when they arrived. ]
[Oh, this is called eating shit and not being able to catch up with the heat! Who told them not to come when Chen Xixi invited them! ]
Everyone thought that Zheng He was unhappy because he didn't get to enjoy the free barbecue, so no one paid much attention to it.
Han Qianyi was somewhat curious and asked in a submissive tone, "Why is it such a coincidence? Why did the event end after Chen Xixi finished eating for free?"
Han Qianyi wanted to ask, did Chen Xixi have any special relationship with the owner of the hot pot and barbecue restaurant? Did Chen Xixi want to cheat in this way to win?
But she didn't dare to say it out loud, as it would make her thoughts seem too vicious, but she really couldn't help being curious.
If Chen Xixi really cheated, it would be good to eliminate Chen Xixi, so that she would have one less strong opponent.
When she returned to her room after lunch and checked her phone, she saw that Chen Xixi was very popular. Even though the voting time had not yet arrived, she could predict that the person with the highest popularity votes tonight would most likely be Chen Xixi.
Even if she didn't say it explicitly, everyone present understood what she wanted to express.
Zheng He, who had always been against Chen Xixi, suddenly said, "Chen Xixi has nothing to do with the owner of this store."
Wan Chen raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Zheng He who suddenly clarified for Chen Xixi, "How did you know?"
Zheng He: “.” This is his store, how could he not know whether it’s related or not?
He clarified on behalf of Chen Xixi not because he was kind-hearted, but because he didn't want people to pay too much attention to his store.
He didn't want to find out the relationship between this store and him instead of finding out the relationship between this store and Chen Xixi.
After all, his store had just been reported, which was very embarrassing.
Zheng He scratched his brows and said with his neck stiff, "Judging from Chen Xixi's stinginess, her daily living conditions must be very difficult, so it is impossible for her to know any boss."
[What Zheng He said is indeed reasonable, but why do I feel like Chen Xixi is being implied? ]
【Chen Xixi: What a vicious way to mock people! 】
Finally, the waiter explained to them: "I don't know what happened this afternoon, a large number of customers suddenly poured in, and our boss couldn't handle it, so he had to cancel the event in advance."
If you pay for the food, then there's nothing to say, but the key point is that it's all free. If this continues, their new store won't be able to afford it either in terms of cost or employees.
As for why a large number of customers suddenly poured in, it was naturally related to Chen Xixi’s live broadcast.
[The owner of this store really doesn't know how to run a business. Isn't the purpose of offering free food just to attract customers? Why did he cancel the event after a large number of customers came? He really can't handle the overwhelming wealth! ]
[What else can you say about eating normally? It’s free! After Chen Xixi’s live broadcast promotion, his store will definitely be bankrupt. I think the decision of this boss to end the event early is the right one! ]
[Maybe the boss thought the promotion was enough, so he canceled the event. After all, I see that there are already many more customers in the store than at noon. ]
When Chen Xixi came to eat the free lunch at noon, there were not many tables. After the popularity surged in the afternoon, Boss Zheng could not bear the pressure and had to cancel the free event. However, these customers suddenly had four words in their heads: I'm here! So only those customers who were only interested in getting the free lunch left with curses, and there were still many people who came into the store to consume.
Boss Zheng's originally gloomy expression disappeared instantly, and he smiled: I didn't expect to make a profit! This store is still good! Except that the table where Chen Xixi sat looked a bit annoying, the overall situation was still good! As a result, the next second, Boss Zheng saw a familiar figure at the door of the store.
Isn’t that his son standing outside the door?
Zheng He also saw Lao Zheng, who was walking towards him with a smile.
Zheng He quickly started making eyes at Lao Zheng, suggesting that Lao Zheng pretend not to know him.
Lao Zheng looked confused, but did as he was told.
Wanchen and Han Qianyi realized that they could not have the free dinner, so they had to leave in disappointment.
At this time, Zheng He walked into the store under the pretext of going to the bathroom and winked at Lao Zheng again.
After entering the bathroom, Zheng He took off the hidden camera equipment he was carrying and turned it off.
Lao Zheng followed him into the bathroom: "What's wrong with you? You're acting weird! Are those two people standing next to you your friends? Why don't you invite them in for dinner and let them see our new restaurant?"
As Lao Zheng spoke the rest of the story, his tone was filled with obvious pride and boasting.
Zheng He glanced outside the door and after making sure no one was coming, he explained in a low voice: "I am participating in a variety show, and it is live now, so it is not convenient."
Lao Zheng frowned: "Variety show?"
Zheng He is a second-generation demolition worker, and his family was not well off before the demolition.
Zheng He signed up for this program for the five million yuan prize and also to become famous. After all, as an ordinary person, who doesn't have the dream of becoming famous?
Think about it, when relatives and neighbors mention him in the future, they will say: Oh my! The kid from the Zheng family is amazing, he has been on TV! He also won a 5 million bonus! He is so famous! When the time comes, the girls around him will give him priority when choosing a partner, and there will even be some girls who admire him and come to him every day...
That scene would make him laugh even in his dreams! Zheng He told Lao Zheng everything about participating in the show.
Old Zheng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He stared at Zheng He with eyes wide open in disbelief: "So you and that girl who reported me outside are competitors in the same show?"
Old Zheng was wailing in his heart. He had inadvertently helped his son's opponent. He was so regretful! "Yes." Zheng He was also very depressed: "Actually, when I came here just now, I was thinking about seeing if there was anything that was not in compliance with the regulations and reporting it. I wanted to learn from Chen Xixi and cheat another 20 meals. But I saw that... this is our own store..."
What a filial son! Old Zheng suddenly thought of something and frowned, "So you and the two guests just now wanted to take advantage of the free meal to learn from Chen Xixi and report me?"
Zheng He nodded truthfully.
Lao Zheng covered his chest, feeling that he, who had always been healthy, was about to have a heart attack! What happened? They just took advantage of him!
Zheng He looked at Lao Zheng eagerly and said, "Dad, the program team doesn't allow acquaintances to treat us. Why don't you arrange another free activity tomorrow? I also want to eat barbecue. Then I can eat it during the event, and it won't be considered a violation."
I wasn't really greedy in the dormitory, but when I came here, I couldn't stand the smell.
Zheng He swallowed and said, "Besides, this can save me a meal. If I win, I can get a five million bonus! Who knows, I can even sign a contract with an entertainment company and become a big star!"
Old Zheng frowned: "But." Judging from the current customer flow, free activities will cost a lot of money. But on second thought, for the sake of his son, Old Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then I will arrange another free activity tomorrow!"
After discussing with Old Zheng, Zheng He was about to leave when he suddenly grinned. He turned around and said, "By the way, Dad, can you try to seduce Chen Xixi and make her break the rules and get kicked out? Because of the compensation you gave her, her funds in the show are far ahead of mine. It's too hard to beat her!"
".Seduced? How to seduce?" Old Zheng said as he wrapped his clothes and spoke cautiously: "I'm telling you, little bastard! I won't do anything that would let your mother down!"
