"I bet after last night's online exposure, his shabby shop will be completely deserted today! If there are any people there, they're 100% actors he hired!"
In the live stream room, seventy to eighty thousand netizens had already gathered to watch the spectacle, and the chat was flooded with comments:
[Fei Ge is tough! This swindler must be exposed today!]
Go check out the amazing technology used to make that 288 yuan tomato and egg stir-fry!
[Support the fight against counterfeits! These shops that treat ordinary people like fools should be shut down!]
"Let's go! Family, let's go see his pitiful state!"
Fei adjusted the camera, confidently turned the corner, and strode towards "Lin's Shop".
however.
When he actually turned into that pedestrian street and saw the scene before him.
Fei Ge's steps froze abruptly, as if he had been glued to the ground by superglue.
The excitement and arrogance on his face froze for a moment, then turned into utterly absurd astonishment.
He even rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating because he had gotten up too early.
The chat in the live stream also paused strangely for a second or two.
Because through Fei Ge's shaky camera lens, tens of thousands of netizens clearly saw—
Outside the small shop, which was blocked by a huge transformer box, there was not the desolation and bleakness they had imagined, nor were there any angry crowds throwing rotten vegetable leaves.
Instead, there was a neatly arranged line that stretched for hundreds of meters!
If it were just a queue, Fei Ge might have gritted his teeth and insisted that it was "hired shills."
However, the people in this group looked really strange.
There were no young people taking pictures everywhere with their phones, nor were there any elderly people just there to fill in the numbers for a few dozen yuan in extra fees.
The people standing in the line were almost all middle-aged men wearing high-quality custom-made shirts and suits, with expensive watches on their wrists, and wealthy women carrying limited-edition bags worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Some people don't even queue up themselves; instead, they have several bodyguards in black suits and headsets stand in the scorching sun for them while they sit in air-conditioned luxury cars parked on the side of the road.
On both sides of the street, at the edge of the pedestrian street where parking is normally not allowed.
At this moment, a row of Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and Porsches were parked there in an extremely arrogant manner!
This doesn't look like a shady business that's about to go out of business at all.
This is practically the scene of Jiangcheng's most prestigious celebrity summit!
"What... what's going on?"
Fei swallowed hard, his hand holding the selfie stick trembling slightly.
After a brief silence in the live stream, the chat exploded with comments like snowflakes:
[Holy crap?! Am I blind? That car in the lead is a Rolls-Royce Phantom?!]
[That middle-aged man in the white shirt up ahead looks so familiar... Isn't that Chairman Chen of Shengshi Medical?! I saw him on the financial news yesterday!]
[And that bald, fat guy in the back, isn't that Li Dayong, the biggest mining boss in Jiangcheng?!]
[Brother Fei, you call this hired actors?! Who the hell could pay these billionaires worth tens or hundreds of billions to line up as shills?!]
Seeing the exclamations on the screen, Fei Ge broke out in a cold sweat.
The script is wrong!
This was completely different from what he had expected!
But he's currently in the eye of the storm with thousands of people watching. If he just slunk away like that, his account will be ruined.
"Family members, don't panic! The more this happens, the more sophisticated the boss's scam becomes! Maybe these so-called bosses have also been brainwashed by his scarcity marketing tactics?"
Fei Ge forced himself to find a way to back down.
"Let's go ask them! I refuse to believe that a meal could really make these big bosses stupid!"
Fei Ge mustered his courage, held up his selfie stick, and cautiously approached the front of the line.
He set his sights on Li Dayong, who was ranked second.
The mine owner was wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt today. He was wiping the sweat off his bald head with a towel, and occasionally peeked into the closed shop door with anxious eyes.
"Excuse me... excuse me, boss."
Fei handed over the microphone, a somewhat stiff smile plastered on his face:
"I do live-streaming store reviews. I saw news online saying that the owner of this store is a fraud, selling overpriced, high-tech gadgets."
"You're queuing up here so early in the morning under the blazing sun. Do you really think their food is worth the price, or... is there some misunderstanding?"
Li Dayong was starving because he hadn't eaten breakfast. When he heard these tactless words, he frowned, turned around, and looked Fei Ge up and down.
"What the hell are you?"
Li Dayong's voice was rough and deep, exuding a natural sense of pressure.
"I...I'm a streamer, and I'm here today to uncover the truth. I have over ten thousand viewers in my stream..."
Fei felt a little uneasy under that gaze, but he still forced himself to keep his phone screen facing him.
Li Dayong glanced at the lit live stream camera and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
He looked at Fei Ge with utter disdain, as if he were an idiot, and said in a gruff voice:
"the truth?"
"I turned down two multi-million dollar contract negotiations this morning, and stood here feeding mosquitoes for an hour, just to wait for him to open the door and have a bite to eat."
Li Dayong pointed to the signboard above the shop door, his tone filled with an almost fanatical admiration:
"All that nonsense online is just for poor guys like you who can't even get close to this shop."
"Technological marvels? I've eaten more delicacies in my life than you've seen grains of rice! Do you think I don't know if that dish is delicious?"
At this point, Li Dayong suddenly paused, a hint of undisguised disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Since you're here to do live streaming, you're probably doing it to make money, right?"
"Alright, I'll give you a chance."
Li Dayong pointed to the spot in front of him, his tone extremely contemptuous:
"If you can go to the front now and buy me the first spot to enter the store, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you right now as a delivery fee! It'll be in your account immediately!"
"ah?!"
Fei was stunned. Ten thousand yuan?! Just to move forward one spot?!
The group of internet celebrities behind him were all so shocked that they gasped and almost dropped their selfie sticks.
They are just small bloggers with a few hundred or a few thousand followers.
They would shout themselves hoarse for hours in the live stream, calling the big brothers "daddy" and even making ugly and funny faces, but at most they would only earn a hundred or two hundred yuan in tips a day.
But now?!
The person in front of me didn't even blink, casually throwing out a "delivery fee" of 10,000 yuan!
