Chapter 4 — My friends and I went to eat seafood buffet

15

I posted a new video to my restaurant review channel. The video is very short, consisting of only two screenshots with a few captions. The first photo is a photo of a text message my best friend sent to the buffet restaurant owner. She asked him to delete the video, and he smugly replied: "Cutting off other people's way to make money is like killing their parents." The second picture is a private message he sent me. He begged me to delete the video and promised 2,000 yuan in compensation. His twisted face, changing white to black, was exposed without any concealment. Those who defended him in the first video, remained silent. They were slapped in the face, but no one wanted to admit they were wrong. But when my second video came out, everything changed. Because, now, they are the ones being toyed with by the buffet restaurant like dogs. They refused to admit they were wrong. Instead, they put all the blame on the shop owner for cheating. This group, there is no such thing as "playing nice". The next day, I passed by that buffet restaurant and discovered that the front door of the restaurant was a mess. A police car was parked right there. The shop owner stood outside the door, his face sullen, giving a statement to the police. He sighed and lamented.

"I don't know... This morning I woke up, opened the door and saw that the glass in front of the shop had been smashed..."

As he spoke, he glanced around. Suddenly, he saw me and was stunned. I smiled brightly and raised my hand in greeting.

"Hello boss! Peaceful broken glass, safe broken glass~ The shop has just opened, good omen, good omen!"

"Oh right, didn't you tell my friend that the restaurant just opened and is lacking traffic?"

"I'm just helping you get some interaction with my account. What's wrong, this much traffic, can you handle it?"

The boss's eyes looked at me as if he wanted to spit fire. He pointed his finger straight at me, screaming at the police.

"It's this girl! The other day she came to my restaurant to eat, causing trouble, I didn't give in, so she held a grudge! She must have been the one who broke the door of my restaurant!"

"You guys quickly take him away! He must compensate me ten times the original price!"

"If not, I'll go to her workplace and cause trouble, telling everyone that she's a woman who doesn't know how to keep herself! So that she can't hold her head up for the rest of her life! Hahaha!"

I looked at him like he was crazy, then turned to the police and seriously suggested.

"Or... you guys take him to a mental hospital and have him evaluated? I think it's very necessary."

The police said nothing. Just quiet and thinking. It seems he is also considering the feasibility of this proposal. Because the shop owner looks really unusual.

I also don't know how the issue of the buffet restaurant having its glass broken was resolved afterward. But there is a high possibility that the police will find the perpetrator, and they will have to pay the original price. It's just that, when the glass is broken, the shop cannot open for business. Rent still has to be paid, staff salaries still have to be paid. Every day that passes is a total loss.

A few days later, my video was reported by the shop owner as a violation and was taken down by the platform. Reason: Intentionally defaming the reputation of the business. I don't understand. I just reposted my actual experience when I went out to eat, how the hell did it become libelous? Apparently the shop itself was filthy from the start. Reason This report is very forced. It seems he bought a bunch of fake accounts and spam reports to force the platform to remove the video. D_o f:u;l~l at:i p|age 1 n'ga;y_la-m.c/lo/thanh%n But it doesn't matter anymore. In the past few days, my video has reached over 5 million views. It's burned everywhere. As soon as the video was removed, I immediately reposted the copy and turned on the mode to allow others to re-up. Immediately, hundreds of people shared it again, causing it to spread again. Sharp comments from netizens:

“A video was removed, proving it has value!”

Soon, my videos sprouted like mushrooms after the rain, he couldn't report them. My account also increased by 200,000 followers. Several big brands have started contacting me to invite me to cooperate, but I'm still considering which side to accept. There's nothing to feel embarrassed about. Anyway, newly opened account, lacking traffic. Cutting off other people's way to make money is like killing their parents, right?

That buffet restaurant is located right near my house. Since the scandal, I deliberately pass by every day when I go out to see what the situation is like. One time, I secretly stopped by to see the situation of the restaurant. With just one glance, he was discovered by two receptionists. They all looked at me with eyes full of contempt. Because of me, the newly opened restaurant was at risk of bankruptcy. I raised my middle finger from afar, then drove away on the tram.

A week later, the shop's glass door was repaired. But this time, they did not dare to use glass anymore, but replaced it entirely with red wood. Even if someone wants to smash it, it won't break. The restaurant's bad reputation has spread far and wide on local TikTok. To bring customers back, the owner used all his capital. He began to compete with quality and reduce prices arbitrarily. The buffet price has been reduced to 79 yuan, and a few new dishes have been added. Try to attract returning customers. Anyway, there are people who don't often surf the internet, see the cheap price and stop in to eat. Thanks to that, the shop began to show signs of revival. Don't go online, don't know what scandal the restaurant has? No problem. Who says eating melon (looking forward to drama) must be eaten online? I am a long-remembered enemy. So, I rented the giant LED screen across from the shop. Every day, no commercials are shown, but two of my expose videos are played. Customers passing by the shop just need to raise their heads to see all the "glorious achievements" of the shop. Passersby stopped, watched, discussed, admired. After watching, they sighed, spat on the brand new red wooden door step, and then left.
