Chapter 107: The Simplicity and Brutalism of Adults Not far from the entrance of a milk tea shop, in a black Audi car, Qin Yue, who was sitting in the back seat, lifted her hair and looked at the crowd of thugs. The girl frowned: "Uncle Gong really is." "Is that Gong Pingyue? Your father's distant relative?" a middle-aged woman in the driver's seat asked curiously. She was Liu Xin, the first wife of Wang Qitong, director of the Provincial General Office. She knew some local figures in Jinzhou and had some impression of Gong Pingyue. Qin Yue nodded: "Yes, Uncle Gong's milk tea shop was ruined by rumors spread by my high school deskmate, and he wanted to take revenge on him." Liu Xin was stunned and said, "This is difficult. Yueyue, who are you close to?" Qin Yue wrinkled her nose, and a blush appeared on her face: "My deskmate." Liu Xin suddenly realized and smiled, "That's easy. Yueyue, it's inconvenient for you to go down. Aunt Xin can call Wang Qitong and ask him to say something to Gong Pingyue... How should I say it, Yueyue?" Qin Yue blinked her eyes and said, "Wait a little longer. If we can avoid troubling Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, then we won't."
…… On the way back to the milk tea shop, Chen Yu roughly understood the situation: This was not an unexpected disaster, but the result of his previous rumor-mongering. It was a group of people gathered by Gong Pingyue, the behind-the-scenes owner of the other milk tea shop. According to Ke Ling, Gong Pingyue made his fortune in real estate tower crane business. Later he stopped doing tower crane business and opened a bath center. He also opened several milk tea shops in the university town. Boss Chen thought: No wonder, in 07, real estate was an industry that had to be involved in corruption. For example, tower cranes and earthworks were basically controlled by local gangsters. When a construction company expanded to a certain city, it had to use local teams. If you didn't, the local boss would make you suffer. Since Gong Pingyue used to work on tower cranes, he must have been involved in gangs to some extent. It shouldn't be too easy to call in these or people. In 07, they called a bunch of thugs to block the door of their store. This was indeed a simple, crude and effective method. Chen Yu: "Is Gong Pingyue here too?" Ke Ling replied: “That’s right.” Chen Yu thought to himself: "This is really bad luck. If I touch any butt, I will get cracked teeth." He did not regret making up the rumor. Business competition was inherently cruel. As long as competition was formed, Gong Pingyue would always be unable to avoid it. If he did not take action, the other party would do so. Chen Yu rubbed his nose and thought for a while, then called Shi Peiwen: "Get some interviewers here..." Shi Peiwen said in embarrassment: "Boss, it's not even seven o'clock yet, they haven't come to work yet, where can I go to yell?" Chen Yu laughed and scolded: "You are stupid, mobilize a few classmates to move some of your broadcasting classroom equipment over here, isn't it easy to set up interviewers?" The success of Yibei Milk Tea Shop is based on public opinion, and the biggest force it can use is also public opinion. At present, Yibei has been a positive publicity case in various local tabloids and schools. Gong Pingyue's move is not aimed at an ordinary milk tea shop, but at the official propaganda outlet. If he messed up a milk tea shop, he would also get into trouble. And since he came here in person, it was impossible for him to really do violence. For someone like Gong Pingyue who had finally climbed ashore, it was totally not worth it. Gong Pingyue, this old-fashioned guy, seems to have only a vague understanding of the so-called "public opinion"? No, the other party shouldn't be so stupid? Chen Yu thought about it and immediately made a judgment: "Gong Pingyue might want to pick the fruits. Next, he will definitely intimidate me and force me to transfer the store to him." The story behind the milk tea shop was used as positive publicity material by the authorities, but the shop owners’ surnames were Gong and Chen, so they didn’t care. Chen Yu smiled and said, "That is, you want to test my courage. Gong Pingyue, you are not brave enough to compete with me." ……
Soon, Yu Weiwei sent him to the door of the milk tea shop. "what happened?" The girl looked at the crowd of people at the door of the store, her face turned pale and she opened her mouth. She had noticed something unusual when she heard Chen Yu making a phone call. The store door was crowded with hooligans, some with bare chests, revealing hideous tattoos, some with cigarettes in their mouths, puffing smoke unscrupulously, they gathered in groups of three or five, blocking the entrance of the milk tea shop like a group of ferocious hyenas. For ordinary people, it is still very oppressive, but in Boss Chen's eyes, they are just potatoes and cabbages. "The world still has ancient customs." Chen Yu sighed and reminded: "Baby, stay in the car and don't get out. I'll take care of it quickly." After saying that, he opened the car door and walked towards Gong Pingyue who was the most conspicuous. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and stretched out his palm towards him. Gong Pingyue smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, you are a good young man, young and promising." Feeling the strength coming from the other party's palm, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Gong, what is the purpose of such a big event?" Gong Pingyue looked at his watch. It was already seven o'clock and the milk tea shop would be open soon. If his people did not withdraw soon, the opening of "One Cup" would definitely fail and it would most likely never recover. He said directly: "I don't like to lose everything. You transfer this store to me and I won't blame you for the past. I will give you a commission and you can continue to start your own business." Sure enough... Chen Yu smiled and said, "Tell me the price?" At this moment, Ke Ling came out of the store. When she saw Chen Yu, she seemed to have found her backbone and hurried over: "Boss, this..." Chen Yu glanced at Ke Ling and said, "Manager Ke, why are you panicking? Go give everyone a cup of milk tea." Ke Ling was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the group of hooligans, "Including them?" Boss Chen laughed and scolded: "Nonsense, of course, you are a guest, go!" The other party's calm performance made Gong Pingyue's contempt less. He looked at Chen Yu and thought that it was rare for someone so young to be able to remain calm in such a situation. After thinking about it, Gong Pingyue stretched out three fingers. Chen Yu smiled: "Three million?" Gong Pingyue sneered: "Thirty." Three million, do you think you are a money-giving boy? Chen Yu shook his head. This couldn't even cover his costs. Gong Pingyue was obviously planning to force the sale. After that story was told and received so much attention, the store was worth much more than thirty. You know, a popular milk tea shop can have a monthly sales of about 500,000. In 2007, it was not so exaggerated, but it was about 200,000. Gong Pingyue saw Chen Yu shaking his head and thought that young people were still too naive: "If I don't withdraw people, do you believe that you won't be able to return even at the age of thirty?" As he said this, the atmosphere became more tense. The hooligans around him sensed the tension and slowly gathered around, making people feel suffocated. Chen Yu glanced at the gangsters who had gathered around him and said with a smile, "Boss Gong, it wasn't easy for you to climb up from being a gangster. It's easy to climb back, but you don't have to scare me like that." Gong Pingyue sneered. Chen Yu was calm and composed. Ke Ling began to distribute milk tea to everyone. Chen Yu took a cup and drank it slowly. Time passed little by little.
Chen Yu's arrangement quickly took effect, and so-called "interviewers" and "reporters" arrived one after another: The equipment in their hands are either amateur or professional: some are simple voice recorders, some are cameras, some are microphones, some are holding video cameras, and some are carrying tripods, pan-tilt heads, and some are even holding boom microphones. The brave ones began to slap Gong Pingyue in the face, asking questions one after another: "Mr. Gong, is there a business dispute between you and the owner of this store?" "Mr. Gong, you brought so many people here. Are you suspected of provoking trouble?" "May I ask what is your explanation for your behavior?" Gong Pingyue's expression became increasingly ugly. Shi Peiwen walked up to Chen Yu and whispered, "Boss, my classmates and I have emptied all the school's equipment. You have to give me a raise." Chen Yu nodded and turned to Gong Pingyue with a smile: "Gong Pingyue, if you don't leave, I will start to play the victim. By then, the business of 'Yibei' will be even more prosperous, all thanks to you." Gong Pingyue curled his lips, obviously seeing through his tricks: "You find a group of students and you think you can control me?" Chen Yu shrugged and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I will provide the footage and everyone will say it is a first-hand report. The police, with all the public opinion, won't be as bad as they are now, right?" Gong Pingyue's biggest flaw is his arrogance, and he himself came to the scene. People need face and trees need bark. People like Gong Pingyue who have climbed up from the bottom often care more about their image. This is why coal bosses always have study rooms. “……”Gong Pingyue looked at the microphones poking in front of him and twitched his lips. (End of this chapter)
