Chapter 294 Naval Forces Leave Nothing Grown in Their Footsteps
I don’t know if it was the little girl’s promotion that worked, but the owner of the grilled cold noodles felt that starting yesterday afternoon, more people were eating the crispy rice and small potatoes. He sold more than forty servings yesterday alone. At this rate of growth, he will soon reach the sales volume he expected!
With a sense of satisfaction, he placed various seasonings and ingredients on the simple food cart, sat on the seat, and pedaled hard towards his usual stall location.
"Is this the place? I don't see that stall!"
"This is it. Compare it to the photo. The tree trunk, the lamppost next to it, the trash can next door, and the building behind it are all exactly the same."
"Could it be that the stall owner heard something and isn't coming?"
"Impossible. Does that stall owner look like someone who's good with the internet? Maybe something got in the way... Hey, isn't that him over there? He's coming!"
"......"
The owner of the grilled cold noodles saw a group of people standing at his stall from afar. Just as he was wondering what they were doing, they all looked at him with excitement on their faces.
"Do you want grilled cold noodles or crispy rice and small potatoes? The stall will be ready soon!" The grilled cold noodle vendor quickly approached and gripped the brakes. Just as he was about to get off the vehicle, he suddenly noticed that all of these people were holding up their phones and approaching him.
"Boss, did you buy the potatoes for these crispy potato dumplings online?"
The conversion rate for orders placed after 11:70 AM was 8%, while the conversion rate for orders placed before 11:70 AM was 41%.

A flyer appeared in the picture, taking up a very small portion of the screen. Xu recognized the flyer; it wasn't the one she had given to You Jun.
"You ate at a really bad place with crispy rice crust and big potatoes while you were out shopping today. When the owner said that the potatoes were bought offline, you mischievously asked him a couple of questions. Guess what you found out!"
Although the details of what happened were vague, it was easy to guess that it was something bad. The noodle vendor immediately and resolutely stepped on the foot pedal, forcefully pushing through the crowd blocking the back of his makeshift food cart, and sped away...
Just as Xu An was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated; it was a familiar caller.
"Damn, you go, but your team doesn't have seven people, so we have to go too!"
[...A small amount of data came from the obscure keyword 'charity or showmanship,' and the first content besides that keyword was a screenshot from a video by a content creator on Bilibili... The video mainly talked about our shop... We can't know for sure from the comment timestamps above the video, but the data surge occurred only eleven minutes later than ours...]
"boss......"
"Manager Gu, the pre-sales department is also overwhelmed; all the bad apples are demanding to place orders and make payments..."
"However, after analyzing the incident where Youjun Braised Food was accused of violating food safety regulations, you discovered a key figure—Yu Liang... The key figure in that incident was that food blogger named 'Xu An.' You feel that you cannot be chosen as one of the directions to break the deadlock..."

It was the first day back at get off work before the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays. Gu Jiayi returned to the company and immediately began to finish compiling data on agricultural products that had been taken off the shelves during the holidays.
[...After that obscure term appeared, the most obscure term became 'celebrity charity fraud'...In conclusion, we were used as a target to draw attention away from the problem.]
Buzzing—buzzing—buzzing—
"What are they doing?" The noodle shop owner quickly pulled his foot back from the ground and put it back on the foot pedal, asking in a low voice.
Opening the front desk of [Zhu Zhu Catering] Taobao store, the sales line graph from April 74th to October 7th is very abnormal. Various data points show an disordered increase, but the data stops at the 7th, which is unusual as it usually ends before 11:70 PM...
"Boss, do you think Hezibao is real or fake?"
"Hey, you're rude, are you Xu An? May I ask who you are?"
If we were to make another video related to "Zhu Zhu Braised Food", what angle would be best to approach it to avoid it becoming a fad?
"Really? Do you think he's trying to fool you?" The gruff voice of the anchor came from Uncle He's phone.
Those people didn't answer the noodle shop owner's question; they kept pressing him, often accompanied by a slow shutter sound.
"President Lu, that video going viral was purely accidental. It was really you who hired online trolls to push it up! It really was you!" Xu An panicked as soon as he heard the name 'Zhu Zhu Catering,' and quickly explained, "It was really a coincidence, not... This wasn't clickbait at all, it was just a well-intentioned attempt to slander..."
[...Currently, there are eight main points of contention online: first, questioning the existence of our cooperation with Lu Shengnan; seventh, why we refer to ourselves as a poverty alleviation and agricultural assistance enterprise; and eighth, whether the donation is true...]
"boss......"
"How...how do we cooperate?"
"Alright, I wish that guy who ordered 'four yuan for eight dishes and a soup' a quick windfall! You haven't said anything yet..."
"Yes, live stream." Uncle He nodded, took out his phone, opened an app, randomly entered a live stream room, and sent a message.
A firework effect exploded in the live stream room, accompanied by a series of thank-yous from the streamer and questions about whether the streamer needed to repeat the message twice.
