Chapter 214 Do you want to do something big?
Lu Haiyu stumbled upon the topic of "Hellish Braised Food" while surfing. Intrigued, he followed the topic closely and eventually found the account of the person behind it, "Xu's Catering".
He found the account just as it was the last day of the giveaway for commenting and liking posts.
He couldn't surpass accounts that had accumulated data for more than two days in a single day, but he resorted to the tactic of "money is everything" and hired data workers to boost his data.
This was a very wise decision, and ultimately two of his three comments secured him a prize. And this time, his luck was on fire—the remaining comment was actually selected by the system! That means he'll win three packs of braised food from Xu's Braised Food Shop!
Almost the night the results were announced, he received a message from [Xu's Catering] reminding him that the prize had been sent.
From the moment he saw the news, he was filled with anticipation. He wondered if any of the three braised dishes included the hellish braised meat he'd been longing for!
However, this good mood only lasted for one day. After getting off work and having dinner, I lazily wanted to scroll through my phone and go surfing to relax.
To my surprise, as soon as I opened my phone, I saw a flood of topics about food safety issues. When I clicked on them, I was shocked to find that the business involved was Xu's Catering!
After searching online for various relevant information, I finally pieced together the whole story.
Enforcement officers arrive, food is sampled, and the business is shut down before the inspection results are available... All these factors combined lead to the conclusion that Xu's Catering has a 99% chance of encountering problems!
This infuriated him. He had spent real money to win the prize in the lucky draw! Now the prize was on its way, and he was to decide whether to eat it or not. Not eating it would be a waste of his money, but eating it would be bad for his health!
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He found the account of "Xu's Catering" in his following list and started posting a barrage of comments under the blog post announcing the results yesterday.
'Unscrupulous company! Disregarding public health, you should go bankrupt immediately!'
"You've brought shame upon the entire country! Shanghai is truly ashamed to have a company like yours!"
"Liar, pay me back!"
'......'
He sent more than ten comments in a row until the system detected that he had posted too many comments in a short period of time and stopped him from posting. He finally stopped and felt a little calmer. He was finally able to read the other comments under this blog post.
He swiped down on the screen, and the page refreshed rapidly, revealing brand new content. To his surprise, he wasn't the only one who had broken down; almost all the participants who had passionately and enthusiastically asked their friends and family for help had also broken down. Of the first ten comments, eight and a half were insults.
This made him feel very happy. As long as he wasn't the only one who was unlucky, he wouldn't feel so unlucky after all.
Oh well, consider it a lesson learned.
Just as he was about to exit the page, a notification box suddenly appeared at the top of the screen.
"The [Xu's Catering] group you're following has released a new update! Be the first to see it!"
Wow! The person in question actually dares to stand up. Could it be that he's trying to salvage his already damaged reputation with apologies and promises?
Don't even think about it, watch how I roast you until you're depressed! I'll roast you until you're traumatized for the rest of your life!
Lu Haiyu spent a second scanning the blog post published by [Xu's Catering], and was about to start criticizing it, his fingers already on the keyboard, when suddenly the keyword from this one-sentence blog post appeared in his mind—100 times compensation!
Are you seeing things?
He stopped what he was doing with some disbelief and read the simple blog post almost word by word.
"If the inspection results prove that there are food safety issues at any of Xu's Catering's stores, customers can receive 100 times the amount in compensation upon presenting their receipts!"
This blog post also included a picture with text that was exactly the same as the post's content, and most importantly, it had an official seal on it! It even had the boss's autograph!
Really? You're not kidding, are you?
Although he remained skeptical, his urge to smear Xu's Catering lessened slightly. He even felt a pang of regret; he wasn't in Haishi and had never patronized a Xu's Catering establishment. Even if the owner kept his word, he wouldn't receive a single penny of compensation!
He stopped the trolls and refreshed the page to see how other netizens viewed the post.
"It seems genuine. A company seal should make it legally binding, right? How large is Xu's Catering? Can they afford to pay compensation? If not, will there be enforcement proceedings?"
'How dare they say they'd pay 100 times the compensation? It feels like they were maliciously reported!'
"Damn, I've never eaten at Xu's Catering, but I won their braised food in a lucky draw. Does that count as payment?"
When Lu Haiyu saw the third comment, his eyes lit up!
Yes, even though I've never eaten at Xu's Catering, I still won a prize! Even if the product I received was the cheapest vegetarian braised dish in Xu's Braised Food Shop, it's still 2.5 yuan, which is 250 yuan a hundred times!
The money I spent on hiring someone to boost my data is back now, and I even made over a hundred yuan for free, enough for a big meal!
So he clicked on the comment and, along with other netizens, made it a trending comment...
The office on the second floor of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant No. 2.
