Chapter 1 — My friends and I went to eat seafood buffet

My best friend and I went to eat a seafood buffet. Unexpectedly, the restaurant secretly recorded a video and then posted it online with the caption:

“These two fairies ordered 10 pounds of sweet shrimp and forced the staff to stand peeling for more than 3 hours. Do you really not feel guilty about it?”

“From today, our restaurant refuses to provide shrimp peeling service, please understand!”

The video quickly surpassed thousands of likes, the comments were full of shameless curses at me and my best friend. My friend was angry and dragged me to the shop owner to ask for reasons and to remove the video. But the other person just shrugged casually, looking completely unconcerned. My best friend angrily dragged me to the shop owner to reason with him and request that the video be deleted. But the other person just shrugged his shoulders calmly, looking like he didn't care at all:

"The shop just opened and is lacking traffic. Cutting off people's fortune is like killing their parents, don't you understand?"

I suddenly woke up. Turns out it's a lack of traffic? Why didn't you say it sooner? Duong Duong is a food blogger with millions of followers, I don't regret giving this little bit of traffic away!

On the weekend, lying in bed surfing Douyin, I accidentally saw an advertisement for a newly opened seafood buffet restaurant right downstairs. Steamed seafood, newly opened restaurant, group purchase price is only 89 yuan, salmon and sweet shrimp are all you can eat. Special: Free peeled shrimp! I grinned and excitedly forwarded it to my best friend. The opponent responded immediately:

“Leave a business card, give a bag of incense, serve at 5:30 this afternoon at the bed!”

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I brought my camera and hurriedly set out. I am a blogger specializing in restaurant reviews. Because I do not accept disguised advertising and give honest reviews, I have more than a million followers on social networks. Gypsy calls me: "The clean breeze in the restaurant review world." Carrying a camera with me to record at any time has become my professional habit. The restaurant just opened, the crowd is like a festival. In front of the reception desk, a male and female employee were chatting excitedly. We walked over, but they pretended not to see. I raised the phone and politely said:

"Hello, would you please confirm the group voucher code purchased on Douyin for me?"

The male employee looked away and continued to gossip with his female colleague:

"I said, that new movie out there is really good! I took my girlfriend to see it last week..."

I thought maybe because the restaurant was crowded and noisy, they couldn't hear me, so I raised my voice.

"Hello, please confirm the group purchase voucher code for me!"

This time, I clearly saw the male employee glance at me, his eyes revealing three parts of contempt. Then he continued to joke with the female employee, completely ignoring me:

"That special effect is super cool! At that time I was still..."

I can't stand it anymore. Suppressing his anger, the dantian's energy released a roar that echoed across the sky:

“Hello——HELL——GET!”

This scream, containing twelve parts of anger, scared the two of them. The female employee finally raised her head, assessed us from top to bottom, then sneered contemptuously. She muttered in a low voice:

"Wear fancy, shiny clothes, but are actually stingy to the extreme to save money. It's the low-class people who like to use group vouchers to buy..."

I was bewildered, a huge question mark popped up in my head. No sister, are you okay? Your buffet's original price is 189, but on Douyin it's reduced to 89. If I don't buy it, am I stupid? Besides, what does what I wear have to do with you? I was about to explode when the male employee next to me gently pulled her sleeve and smiled apologetically at us:

"Sorry, she's new to work and doesn't understand. You two want to confirm the Douyin code, right? I'll scan it for you right now."

I originally intended to refund the money immediately, but seeing that his attitude wasn't bad, thinking about it, since he came here anyway, I'll just have to respect him and continue. I took out my phone and let him scan the confirmation code. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned to leave, a scornful sneer was heard from the male employee behind him.

"I'll tell you this, when you meet girls who dress flirtatiously like this, it's best to stay away. There's a lot of trouble with these types of things!"

My steps stopped. Please refund now, is there still time? I'm about to explode. My best friend is also about to explode. Under the dim lights of the restaurant, I caught a glimpse of her face as red as a monkey's butt. It's hot all the time. I took a deep breath, silently chanted in my heart "when it's time to eat", then pulled her to sit down. This restaurant uses QR code scanning to order food. For the first round, we ordered 30 sweet shrimp, 20 slices of salmon, 2 spiny crabs, and a plate of ice cream. Waiting for 40 minutes, my best friend and I were so hungry that our stomachs were pressed against our backs, our eyes were starting to turn blue, but the food was still nowhere to be found. Looking at the table on the left, there was a mother and two children, their table was empty. Looking at the table on the right, there was a couple, their table was also empty. Three tables were full of miserable people, big eyes glaring at small eyes. The couple looked like they were still college students. Although it could be seen that they were frustrated by the wait, in the end they still didn't say anything, just bowed their heads and played on their phones. The little girl pouted and whispered to her mother:

“Mom, I'm hungry…”

The mother was already upset about waiting for so long, but hearing her daughter say that made her even more impatient.

"Why haven't you got anything yet after ordering half an hour ago? Let me go ask the staff."

The mother carried her daughter to ask. Three minutes later, she came back holding a plate full of small bread, her face black as coal. I took the opportunity to start a conversation with her:

“Sister, what did they say?”

The mother helplessly shook her head:

"They said all dishes had to be made fresh on the spot so service was slow. Then they gave me a plate of bread and told me to feed my child first."

"They also said they 'very understanding' that I am a mother with young children, so they specially broke the rules for me. But in exchange, I had to rate 5 stars on the spot and bring more friends to eat."

The girl in the couple next to her, who had just lowered her head to play on the phone, suddenly looked up, her face full of disbelief.

"A seafood buffet that forces you to eat bread for your stomach? Is that crazy? And giving you a whole plate like this, afraid you'll eat too much of their expensive dishes?"

The boy put down the phone and sighed:

“I'm sorry... we've been waiting for almost an hour and the food we ordered from the beginning still hasn't arrived.”

My best friend couldn't help but spoke up:

“But the time to eat is limited to two hours, so the food is so slow, do you want to wait until the end of time so we can go automatically?”

The college girl couldn't control herself and cursed loudly:

“What is this nonsense shop?!”

I nodded strongly:

“Yes, nonsense shop!”

So, the Victims Alliance was officially established.
