Chapter 105 The Livestream is Too Noisy
Wang Qiang took a deep breath. Having worked in the self-media industry for so many years, he knew that no matter what the moment or what situation he encountered, he must never back down!
If you back down, then it's all over!
He quickly pointed the camera at the team and raised his voice by eight octaves.
"Did you guys see that? This is what a real queue looks like? It looks so fake!"
"The reason we hire older people is mainly because young people are expensive, and older people have nothing to do, so they're cheaper!"
"Who in their right mind gets up at 5 a.m. to line up for steamed buns? Are they out of their mind?"
In a state of panic, people are more likely to do things that go too far.
As Wang Qiang spoke, he quickly walked to the end of the line.
He held the microphone close to an old man at the front of the line, almost shoving it into the man's face.
"Sir, are you a shill? How much does the boss pay you for a morning? 50 or 100?"
This old man was quite old; his hair was completely white, and his face was covered in wrinkles, like a Shar Pei.
He was suddenly startled when a large microphone was shoved into his face, and he almost dropped the thermos in his hand.
He opened his eyes again, glaring at Wang Qiang with great dissatisfaction and an angry tone.
"What are you doing, young man? Don't you have any manners? You're shoving something this big in my face?"
"Excuse me, sir, I was just too excited. Could you tell me, do you provide food here? Or do we have to return the items after queuing? Is it 50 or 100?"
"What are you babbling about? What do you mean 50 or 100?"
Wang Qiang sneered at the camera and deliberately spoke loudly.
"It seems our old man has a strong sense of contractual responsibility; he's already putting on an act."
"Since they really refuse to disclose it, there's nothing we can do, right? We should respect every profession. Making money isn't shameful."
The old man was getting on in years, and after listening to Wang Qiang ramble on for a long time, he didn't understand a word. He scratched his head and rolled his eyes.
Wang Qiang's live stream sounded like a saw cutting wood on the early morning streets, making people's heads buzz.
Wang Qiang's live streaming style relies on a loud voice and a strong tone to stir up the emotions in the live stream audience.
But the surrounding residents were unhappy.
"What are you doing? Why are you shouting so early in the morning?"
"You were the only one making noise on the whole street!"
"Could you please keep your voice down? There are residents upstairs. If you keep making this noise, you'll wake them up."
As they were talking, a window was suddenly pushed open, and a head popped out.
Wang Qiang didn't care at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited and shouted at the camera.
"Did you see that? Did you see that? I reckon this is part of the script too!"
"Now even bosses have learned to piggyback on our popularity. They use hired shills to create conflict first, and then attract attention!"
"If this restaurant doesn't have a team operating behind it, I'll eat shit!"
As he was speaking, several more people lined up behind Wang Qiang, and he addressed them.
"Don't be fooled, everyone! Let's all leave now and not waste our money!"
The people behind him were looking at him with strange eyes.
"I eat here every day, what do you mean by wasting money?"
What do you do for a living?
"Are you buying or not? If not, don't stand in line here. Aren't you taking up time?"
at this time.
Chen Yuan was busy making steamed buns inside the shop when he vaguely heard a lot of noise outside, much louder than usual.
He then spoke to Aunt Li, who was standing nearby.
"Aunt Li, go outside and see what's going on. Why is it so noisy? Is it because of the queue that they're arguing again?"
This happens very often at Chen Yuan's shop.
Aunt Li nodded, put down her things, and went out. She returned in a hurry a short while later.
"Xiao Chen, some internet celebrity who claims to be exposing fake products has arrived and is arguing with the people in line. His voice is so loud that the residents upstairs are not happy."
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then quickly wrapped the last few buns and put them in the steamer.
Then he clapped the noodles off his hands and quickly took off his apron.
"I'll go check. The millet porridge will be ready soon. You can serve it to them."
With that, Chen Yuan quickly walked out.
Outside, Wang Qiang was talking animatedly into the live stream camera.
"Let me tell you, the kitchens of these small shops are incredibly dirty. If I don't expose this kitchen to everyone today, I'm not leaving."
"Yes, yes, this netizen is right, it's so dirty, I can't even look at it!"
Just as Wang Qiang was shouting loudly, and the people around him were looking at him with displeasure, Chen Yuan appeared.
"Sir, could you please keep your voice down?"
As soon as the person in question appeared, Wang Qiang immediately pointed the camera at Chen Yuan.
"Oh, you must be the boss. You're quite handsome."
"I'm the boss, what can I do for you?"
"Nothing much, I'm just here to check out your restaurant. I wanted to try your food today, is that a problem?"
"Of course you can, but please keep your voice down. This is a residential area, and I hope you can maintain the proper manners expected of an online celebrity and not make a scene, okay?"
Wang Qiang was still trying to argue, so Chen Yuan continued.
"I believe that with your high level of integrity as a major internet celebrity, you certainly wouldn't do anything to disturb the peace, right?"
In front of so many viewers in the live broadcast room, Chen Yuan flattered Wang Qiang, making Wang Qiang feel embarrassed and he continued to argue unreasonably.
He curled his lip and chuckled twice. Although he was very unconvinced, he had to maintain his "well-mannered" image, so he reluctantly said it.
"Of course, as a responsible self-media creator, I must abide by public morality, so don't worry."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Chen Yuan left after he finished speaking.
[Sigh, I must say, this boss is actually quite handsome. I thought it was Sweetie's side who specially added a beauty filter to him.]
[Brother Qiang definitely wouldn't use a beauty filter, it would be pointless anyway, haha.]
This young man is indeed quite handsome; he could rival me in my prime.
Wang Qiang joked around with several longtime fans in the live stream.
A few minutes later, a rich aroma suddenly wafted out of the store.
Wang Qiang sniffed.
That's the unique caramelized aroma produced by frying the sugar and oil mixture at high temperatures—rich and deep.
Along with the aroma came Chen Yuan's voice.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting, everything is ready!"
Just then, he came out carrying a huge stainless steel tray, on which were neatly arranged freshly fried dough sticks and fried rice cakes.
The golden, crispy outer layer is covered with tiny oil bubbles, making a sizzling sound.
"Today we have a new fried cake with two fillings: brown sugar and red bean paste. Because it's a new product, there's a limit of four per person."
"We also need to leave a few for the people who come after us, right?"
