Chapter 102: Free meal?
"Is this the place you mentioned, Your Majesty, with air conditioning and free food and drinks?"
Lin Tianxing looked at the three-story store not far away, which covered an area of nearly 400 square meters and was jointly owned by Black Dragon and Demon Star.
There are two large entrances on the first floor. The door on the left has the exclusive logo of Black Dragon.
The big gate on the right is the exclusive symbol of Demon Star.
The two stores rented the same building, but they were not separated when they rented it.
Instead, the two stores are directly connected together.
Because the decoration styles of the two houses are very similar, there is no sense of incongruity when they are connected together.
If you don’t look at the brand name and logo, many people would think it is the same brand store.
Black Dragon and Demon Star are both top luxury brands in the Han Kingdom.
Even at the peak of his career, Lin Tianxing did not accept endorsements from these two brands.
Because top luxury brands like Han rarely use celebrity spokespeople.
Generally, their spokespersons are their own bosses or shareholders.
The focus is not on these two top luxury brands.
The point is, why would I, Shao Yuan, bring them here?
Didn’t you say you were going to have a free meal?
"Yes, Your Majesty, why did you bring us here? Didn't you say we were going to have dinner?"
Cai Jiabao also rarely expressed questions.
At this time, they were not standing at the door of the Black Dragon and Demon Spirit store.
Instead, he stood across the street from the two stores.
Because the entrances of Black Dragon and Demon Star were filled with various luxury cars.
Luxury cars kept coming in, and finally, under the instructions of the two store clerks, they had to turn to the underground parking lot next to them.
At the entrances of the two stores, many elegantly dressed men and women, mostly in pairs, kept walking in. But no one came out.
Through the floor-to-ceiling window glass, you can see many store clerks guiding people into the store.
"It's dinner. I brought you here to eat."
Zhen Shao Yuan explained, "Today, the Black Dragon and Magic Star brands are collaborating on a brand show. Before the show begins, the two brands have prepared a sumptuous lunch for the guests. It's perfect, we can go in and have a free meal."
I, Shao Yuan, looked at my watch.
Well, one o'clock in the afternoon.
It's almost time.
"Let's go."
Having said that, I, Shao Yuan, walked directly towards the two stores.
"No... they're holding a brand show, and we're going to eat for free?"
Cai Jiabao was dumbfounded when he heard this.
It was the first time he heard of someone going to someone else's brand show to eat for free.
"What's so strange about that? Since His Majesty said he was going to have a free meal, then he must have a way to take us to have a free meal. Let's go."
Lin Tianxing patted Cai Jiabao on the shoulder, then followed Shao Yuan.
Seeing Cai Jiabao's bewildered look, Gong Chengnan explained to him, "I think Your Majesty must have an invitation to this brand show. And, if I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty's invitation should be the top-tier one."
As a designer for a domestic high-end luxury brand, Gong Chengnan knows many of the internal rules of these top brands.
When each brand holds this kind of brand show, it will send invitations to some senior customers of each brand.
And these invitations are divided into levels.
The lowest level invitation letter allows one accompanying person.
A medium-level invitation allows you to bring two accompanying persons.
The highest level invitation letter allows you to bring up to ten people.
Since I, Shao Yuan, said so confidently that I would take them to have a free meal, then he must have a high-level invitation.
But they have four guests here, four cameramen, two makeup artists, a live director, two assistants, and a group of security personnel.
There are too many people.
Besides, it’s their brand show and is not open to the public.
Therefore, cameramen, makeup artists and others will probably be left behind.
The audiences watching the live broadcast were all shocked by Shao Yuan's bold move.
No one expected that I, Shao Yuan, would actually bring a large group of people to the Black Dragon and Demon Star show to eat for free.
"As expected of your Majesty, this operation is truly unprecedented."
"This brand is holding a brand show and actually providing lunch for the guests? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. At brand shows like these, don't people just go to see the show, buy something, and leave?"
"Yeah, shouldn't a brand show be held in a big place? Why is it held in your own store? That's too shabby."
"The above person isn't very knowledgeable, is he? Let me explain. Brand shows held in large venues usually sell mass-produced goods for the public. Smaller brand shows held secretly in stores sell the real goods. And for small brand shows like these, the guests invited are the brand's top local customers."
"The best client? No wonder we have to prepare food and drinks. The best client is here, we have to treat him well."
"I've learned a lot! It turns out that the items sold at those big shows are all mass-produced, popular styles. No wonder when I watched those top brand shows before, I always felt that the styles were all relatively common. Those rare styles were nowhere to be found."
"Gong Chengnan just said that His Majesty must have a top-level invitation, so he brought them there for a free meal. If His Majesty is there for a free meal, then won't we be able to see the secret brand show inside?"
"Brand show, there must be a lot of handsome men and beautiful women, right?"
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
"Don't dream on the upstairs floor. Even if His Majesty has a top-tier invitation, the brand won't let a cameraman in to film."
"Tsk, maybe Your Majesty can do it?"
"Impossible. The brand has its own regulations. Your Majesty is not the boss, so how could you allow them to break the regulations?"
…
At the entrance of the two brands' stores, there were several shop assistants welcoming incoming customers.
When I, Shao Yuan, walked over with a large group of people, the shop assistants who were responsible for receiving customers at the door were a little stunned.
Especially when I saw that behind Shao Yuan and others, there was a cameraman carrying a camera.
Because the three of us, Shao Yuan and I, are all wearing masks.
They thought that Shao Yuan and others were reporters, and they had received the news that they were holding a brand show and were preparing to come over for an interview.
The shop assistant who didn't know Shao Yuan and the others hurried forward to stop them.
"Sorry, everyone, we are not accepting any interviews today as we are doing a brand show."
"We are not here for an interview, we are here to attend your brand show."
I, Shao Yuan, took out a folded invitation from my pocket and handed it over.
Si Yi had given him this invitation after he accepted the mission, and he had brought it with him when he left.
When several shop assistants saw the black invitation with gold foil, they were instantly shocked.
High-level invitation letter?
Three Black Dragon brand shop assistants standing by immediately recognized that this was their own high-end invitation letter.
One of them immediately stepped forward and respectfully took the invitation from Shao Yuan.
Then spread it out and brush it on the machine next to it.
The screen of the machine immediately displayed the photo and information of Zhen Shao Yuan.
I am Shao Yuan?
After seeing the information, the Black Dragon clerk looked at Zhen Shao Yuan in shock, "Mr. Zhen?"
"It's me."
I, Shao Yuan, took off my mask.
Oh my God, is this the big boss who swept through their stores in City B, I, Shao Yuan?
At that time, I, Shao Yuan, spent more than 130 million to directly sweep through their stores in City B, which instantly shocked all their stores.
The headquarters immediately upgraded Zhen Shaoyuan to the highest-level customer of their brand.
These stores immediately listed Zhen Shaoyuan as the most popular and most anticipated customer.
Who doesn’t like this kind of arrogant customer who sweeps through their own store?
When they heard that Shao Yuan was coming to K City to film a program, their store manager asked them to be on high alert.
As the highest-level customer of their brand, I, Shao Yuan, must have received the invitation letter for the brand show they sent.
Early this morning, their store manager asked them to keep a close eye on this place and send him a message immediately if Shao Yuan arrived.
But, it seems that I, Shao Yuan, have to record a show today.
Therefore, they guessed that it was impossible for me, Shao Yuan, to come.
Unexpectedly, I, Shao Yuan, really came.
The Black Dragon clerk immediately turned around and said to his colleague behind him, "Quick, tell the manager that Mr. Zhen is here."
"good."
The clerk immediately turned around and called his manager.
The clerk in front of Zhen Shao Yuan made a "please" gesture to Zhen Shao Yuan enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhen, welcome to our brand show. Please come in."
The clerk of Moxing store standing by saw that the person coming was actually Empress Shao Yuan.
He immediately became excited and turned around to secretly call his manager.
"Um, these are my friends around me, can we go in together?"
I, Shao Yuan, pointed at Ding Lanlan and others behind him and said.
The clerk looked at the large group of people behind Zhen Shao Yuan and said with some embarrassment: "Well...your invitation letter only allows you to bring 9 accompanying persons."
"Nine?"
I, Shao Yuan, looked back and saw that there were at least thirty people in their group.
Well, it’s definitely not necessary for all security personnel to follow in.
The cameraman had to follow in, after all, they were filming a show.
The eldest lady's other makeup artist must also follow in.
After all, after eating, you definitely need to touch up your makeup.
In fact, I, Shao Yuan, don’t like to wear makeup, but after all, I have to be on camera, so putting on powder is a basic need.
After all, this also concerns his image.
A live director is also a must. After all, you need to direct the filming!
This calculation will definitely exceed the number of people.
But I, Shao Yuan, am not panicked at all.
He turned to ask the staff of the Demon Star nearby, "Are you the staff of the Demon Star?"
"Yes, sir."
The clerk at Demon Star immediately responded respectfully.
"That's good."
As he spoke, I, Shao Yuan, took out another black invitation with silver patterns from another pocket.
Handed it to the clerk at Demon Star.
"It just so happens that I still have an invitation letter from your Demon Star."
The clerk at Moxing was immediately excited when he saw that Zhen Shao Yuan actually took out the high-end invitation letter of their brand.
One of the leading shop assistants immediately took the invitation letter respectfully and swiped it on the machine next to him.
Then he said to Shao Yuan with great enthusiasm: "Welcome, Mr. Zhen. You can bring in nine entourage members."
I, Shao Yuan, nodded. "Okay, 18 is enough."
He then turned around and asked the on-site director to leave most of the security personnel behind.
They just need to go in.
But when he was about to go in, I, Shao Yuan, suddenly remembered something.
I asked, "Um, sorry, I forgot to ask. We are recording a program right now. Can we bring a cameraman in to record the show? Of course, our cameraman will proactively blur the lines of anyone in the video."
"this……"
The shop assistants on both sides were a little embarrassed.
Because they have a rule that guests are not allowed to record videos at the show.
What's more, it's a live broadcast.
"Of course you can."
Two middle-aged men and women wearing Black Dragon and Demon Star uniforms walked out.
He said respectfully to Zhen Shao Yuan, "Sir, we have just asked the guests inside and have obtained their consent. You can bring your friends in with you."
"Are you the managers of this store?" I, Shao Yuan, took a look at the name tags on their chests.
The manager of the Black Dragon store said respectfully, "Yes, I am the manager of the Black Dragon store, Huang Zhong."
The manager of the Demon Star store also introduced himself: "I am the manager of the Demon Spirit store, Liu Lan."
"Manager Huang, Manager Liu." I, Shao Yuan, nodded, indicating that I understood.
He turned to Lin Tianxing and the others and said, "Let's go."
"Sir, please."
Two managers led the way.
"Mr. Zhen, have you taken a fancy to anything today?"
After entering, Black Dragon’s manager took a look to see if there was anything that I, Shao Yuan, was interested in.
I, Shao Yuan, said, "Oh, I saw your free lunch, so I came here to eat."
Manager Huang certainly didn't believe it, "Haha, Mr. Zhen really knows how to joke."
I, Shao Yuan, said, "I'm not kidding. All of us here haven't had lunch yet."
"In that case, I strongly recommend that Mr. Zhen and your friends try the lunch we prepared for the show."
Manager Liu enthusiastically recommended, "We've invited the head chef from Qin Yu Lou in K City to prepare lunch for our VIP guests. Several of the dishes and desserts are Qin Yu Lou's chef's specialties. You won't find them anywhere else."
When I heard there was something delicious, Shao Yuan's eyes lit up, "Oh? Then we must try it."
The real show is on the second floor.
The show hasn't started yet.
Many guests gathered on the third floor.
Many people come here not for the purpose of watching the show.
But I came here for this lunch party.
None of those who received an invitation and came here to watch the show are simple people.
Come here for a meal and you might even run into someone you want to work with.
So, when rich people get together, it’s not really a party; they come here to discuss business.
This building has an elevator.
And there is an elevator in each store.
Shao Yuan and others were divided into two groups and got on the elevator.
When I, Shao Yuan, and my group walked into the lobby on the third floor, all the guests who were drinking and chatting in the lobby looked over.
After the two managers received calls from their own staff, they immediately asked the customers for their opinions on whether the live broadcast could be carried out.
Of course, the guests were reluctant at first.
After all, everyone who comes here is a person of status and position.
However, when the two managers said it was Emperor Shao Yuan, they immediately changed their minds.
Everyone agreed readily.
Just kidding, I, Shao Yuan, have caused so much noise recently, but there are really few people who don’t know him.
Especially when the news came out recently that I, Shao Yuan, was going to come to K City to film a program, these wealthy people in K City were already thinking about finding opportunities to contact me, Shao Yuan.
At the beginning, when I, Shao Yuan, spent 3 billion to buy the ruby necklace at the Huosang Hotel, someone noticed him.
However, many people do not take him seriously.
In the eyes of many people, Shao Yuan was asked by someone else to take the photo of the necklace. He was most likely just a tool.
Before this, spending 100 million to sweep all the Black Dragon stores in City B may have been just a trick.
After all, many people have investigated my identity, but no matter how much they investigate, I am just a person whose parents have both passed away and who was lucky enough to be relocated.
And among my relatives, many are not as good as me.
How could a man like Shao Yuan spend more than 100 million to buy things and spend 3 billion to auction a necklace?
There is only one possibility, there is someone behind me, Shao Yuan.
Moreover, that person is very wealthy, but he doesn't want anyone to know about him.
That's why he found an ordinary college student like me, Shao Yuan, to be his puppet and bought the ruby necklace at the auction.
I spent more than 100 million to visit the Black Dragon store before the auction, but it was just a trick to make people mistakenly believe that I, Shao Yuan, am wealthy and have an extraordinary background.
But what happened later became more and more outrageous.
If the previous events can be explained as the people behind me, Shao Yuan, wanting to buy the ruby necklace.
Later, I, Shao Yuan, bought a villa and invested in variety shows.
Then it is completely inexplicable for those who sell cars through live broadcasts.
The incident in which Shao Yuan helped fans buy cars at a 30% discount during a live broadcast caused such a big stir that of course many people were paying attention.
An investigation was also conducted.
The results are that I, Shao Yuan, am indeed losing money by helping those fans buy cars.
Instead of cooperating with those car brands and doing superficial work.
In other words, I, Shao Yuan, really lost more than ten billion.
No matter how rich a person is, it is impossible for him to let a puppet spend tens of billions.
That's more than ten billion, not just a dozen dollars.
Therefore, from this we can see that I, Shao Yuan, should not be a puppet.
The money he spends should be his own money.
The reason why the information found about him was so inconsistent was because his real information was hidden.
Being able to block the investigation of so many people, one can imagine the power behind me, Shao Yuan.
What kind of family background does a family like Shao Yuan have that can allow him to spend billions in a month?
Online fans jokingly called me Shao Yuan the prince of a gold mining country or an oil country, and some people took it seriously.
Of course, more people suspect that I, Shao Yuan, am from one of those super big families.
No matter whether he is a prince from a gold-mining country or an oil country, or a member of a super family, each one of them is a behemoth.
They are all beings that they need to look up to and have no chance to contact.
Now the opportunity has come, I, Shao Yuan, want to come here to do a show?
Of course they agreed without a second thought.
As long as I, Shao Yuan, can really come, let alone letting them appear on any live broadcast program, even letting them appear on a TV drama is fine.
So, as soon as they saw I Shao Yuan and others coming, the eyes of the group instantly focused on I Shao Yuan.
Seeing me, Shao Yuan, coming, a large group of people, holding wine glasses, walked towards me, Shao Yuan.
"Mr. Zhen is here! He is indeed handsome and has an extraordinary temperament!"
"Sir, it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you. You are indeed as imposing as the rumors say."
"Mr. Zhen, you came so early, you must not have eaten yet. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?"
"Yes, yes, sit down and have something to eat. Mr. Zhen, today Black Dragon and Demon Star have invited the head chef from Qin Yulou in K City. His specialties are so delicious, Mr. Zhen must try them."
"Mr. Zhen, you must be thirsty now. Come on, Mr. Zhen, drink some orange juice to quench your thirst first."
The crowd only saw me, Shao Yuan, and immediately pushed out Ding Lanlan, Lin Tianxing and others who were around me.
Even the two store managers were no exception.
The audience in the live broadcast room were already surprised to see that Shao Yuan really brought Lin Tianxing and others to the show for lunch.
Now you see that I, Shao Yuan, am surrounded by a large group of people who are obviously not ordinary people, and they are trying to please me like the moon surrounded by everyone.
Even more stunned.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Who are those people?"
"That guy over there seems to be a famous financial genius in K City."
"The bald middle-aged man in a suit on the left seems to be the owner of Haoweijia."
"Oh shit, I think my boss is there too."
"Oh my god! These are all important figures in K City. They actually all came to greet His Majesty together? Am I dreaming?"
"Ouch! I just pinched my thigh. The bruise and the pain tell me this isn't a dream. These important figures are really trying to curry favor with His Majesty."
"So many important figures are trying to curry favor with His Majesty. Your Majesty's identity is truly extraordinary."
"How simple can someone who can casually spend billions be?"
"Is Your Majesty really a prince from an oil country?"
"I think even if he's not a prince from an oil country, he could be the heir to some super family in our Han country."
"My Majesty is awesome."
…
After the news that I, Shao Yuan, took a group of people to the Black Dragon Demon Star Show to have lunch spread, many people were very curious.
They all came into the live broadcast room to see what was going on.
After all, the Black Dragon Demon Star was originally the top luxury brand in the Han Dynasty, and not everyone can watch their show.
And I, Shao Yuan, actually brought people to the show to eat for free?
What a crazy operation.
It immediately attracted the curiosity of countless people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I found a large group of big men surrounding me, Shao Yuan, asking about my well-being and greeting me with all kinds of smiles.
The impact of this scene was so great that many people couldn't recover.
At this moment, in Shao Yuan's live broadcast room, the number of viewers was soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a short while, the number of people exceeded 30 million.
When Liu Ying saw this data in the director's office, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She finally understood why Shao Yuan said she didn't have to worry.
Originally, I, Shao Yuan, had already thought of a way to break the deadlock.
On the other side, Zhao Kangqian, who was also watching the data in the live broadcast room, was full of anger at this time.
