Chapter 445: Sensation on the Street
"Who are you? How would I know if my friend wants compensation? Let me go! You're hurting me." The woman struggled desperately, but couldn't get away from the man. He didn't even have to use any strength. He held her with one hand while using the other to call the police.
That's obvious, the reason why this milk tea shop has low customer traffic has been revealed.
This is a deliberate disaster, a frame-up, and a smear! These companies are really interesting. They united and actually used such despicable means to deal with them.
Did you come up with this idea? Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Seeing Gao Long's seriousness, the woman was so frightened she kept shaking his hands off. Gao Long was no pushover! He was an expert at dealing with people like this, and soon the woman panicked, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I really don't know what's going on... I was hired. My boss paid me 50 yuan a day and told me to say this. I'm a laid-off worker. I couldn't find a job, and I have children at home who need money, so I took this job out of necessity."
"No choice?" Gao Long sneered. Just as he was about to teach the woman a lesson, he saw Lin Yilan push open the door and walk in.
Few people on this street knew Lin Yilan, but many knew Xu Ziwen. Lin Yilan wasn't often at the milk tea shop, but Xu Ziwen was there every day. Everyone thought Xu Ziwen owned the shop, completely unaware that there was a real boss behind the scenes.
"What's going on!" After Lin Yilan came in, the owner of the milk tea shop also came over to check the situation.
The boss lady was a middle-aged woman, and her words were not very pleasant to hear: "We are doing business. If you want to fight, go outside!"
This immediately infuriated Gao Long: "Fight? This isn't as simple as a fight! You hired someone to smear Yanxi Milk Tea Shop. Shouldn't we settle this account?"
When the lady boss heard that the incident was the cause of the commotion, she immediately turned hostile and said, "I don't know what you mean by smear campaign! And there's no need to threaten us. You've delayed our business, and I have the right to ask you to leave our shop."
Lin Yilan was no fool. After hearing all the useful information Gao Long had, she immediately pulled out her phone and uploaded a video of their confrontation. Soon, it received countless responses from netizens.
They all asked for the address of the milk tea shop and wanted to see what the vicious supporting character who was rumored to be living in the TV series looked like.
"Is this the real-life 'business war'? But isn't this too low-brow? You could win by advertising your taste, but it's really disgusting to be so mean to others."
"Support the above!"
"Please give the thumbs up to the person above. He said everything I wanted to say."
…
The online comments were becoming increasingly intense, and soon triggered an investigation by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Lin Yilan is not short of money. She opened a milk tea shop to promote the quintessence of Chinese culture. She uses the best recipes for the ingredients. Others may make more than half of the profit for each cup of milk tea, but Lin Yilan only makes three yuan. If she sells less in a day, she won't have enough manpower.
Seeing that the incident had become so serious, the proprietress still denied that she had hired anyone to discredit Lin Yilan's milk tea shop.
Lin Yilan was willing to accept the investigation of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the three milk tea shops were closed down at the same time.
Three days later, the results came out.
Lin Yilan’s milk tea shop was also mentioned in support on the official website of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau: "Real materials, not a 'profiteer', a conscientious store." Lin Yilan became a hot topic again because of this mention.
Xu Ziwen's milk tea shop problem was quickly resolved. He called Lin Yilan in admiration, "Lin Yilan, I admire you even more now than before. No wonder you asked us to close as late as possible. So that costs so much money? You're truly a visionary. Your future is limitless!"
here we go again.
Lin Yilan could even guess what Xu Ziwen was going to say to her. She smiled and said, "It's nothing. This incident has passed, and it's also a wake-up call for us. If we want to go further in the future, we will encounter more twists and turns! So, no problems can go wrong at any stage."
"Don't worry, I'll follow your instructions."
After settling the milk tea shop, Lin Yilan brought Gao Long, Gao Hu, and Long Cheng to the shop. They also held a lucky draw on the weekend. Seeing the milk tea shop open, Grandma Huo decided to join in the fun.
Lin Yilan dressed the three of them up as the Three Musketeers, COSed them, and dressed them up as nice-looking cartoon characters.
Xu Ziwen was busy making milk tea with the staff inside the shop, while Lin Yilan and her staff were busy drawing prizes outside. Huo Juncheng had also come, wanting to be more involved in Lin Yilan's life, but before he even got out of the car, he received a call from the company, forcing him to return the same way.
Vivian's crew also finished filming the first season. The first thing she did after finishing filming was to call Lin Yilan to ask her where she was, and wanted to have a good drink with her!
Hearing how lively Lin Yilan's phone was, Vivian came over without thinking.
The agent kept whispering to Vivian, "You'd better stay away from Lin Yilan for now, otherwise the rumors will start again and it will be difficult to suppress. After all, the financial sponsor of this drama is Lin Yilan's fiancé. This is a bit unethical."
Vivian was very annoyed by her agent's reminders every time. She sat in the car and asked, "What's wrong with me? Did I have a private date with Lin Yilan? Or did I kiss Lin Yilan in public?" Why did he say this in front of her again and again?
It's already difficult for her to be a public figure, does that mean she doesn't even have the right to make friends?
The agent hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant..." But Vivian didn't listen at all. When the car stopped at the address given by Lin Yilan, she got out of the car.
She saw from afar the scene of Lin Yilan playing and fighting with three men, and the scene seemed to be frozen at that moment.
Why is Lin Yilan always so optimistic? Are there so many happy things in this world?
Why can she get along with everyone?
Vivian was a big star, and wherever she appeared, the place was boiling in just a few seconds! It was her agent who quickly got out of the car to help Vivian block the onlookers.
Gao Long and Gao Hu saw so many people suddenly gathered on the street and pointed, "Why are there so many people? Are they buying milk tea in groups?"
Lin Yilan also took a look and smiled calmly, "No, that's Vivian. How can a place with a big star not be crazy? If she's not crazy, she can't be called a big star."
"Vivian?"
Gao Long's eyes widened instantly. "Vivian actually came to our place?" He had heard that his idol sister knew Vivian, and their friendship had been hyped online for a while. He had never expected this friendship to be real... Gao Long was envious. "No, idol sister, you're a woman, and it's okay that you have a lot of romantic opportunities, but why are you so popular with the same sex? Can't you share your good luck with us? We're all single."
