129: Chapter 129 Godfather! Was what I just did good?

Inside the living room of the hotel suite.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Qin Xun finished a box of stir-fried rice noodles and a handful of meat skewers. After drinking two more bottles of beer, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked toward the bedroom, his round belly protruding.

"Little Xia, remember to keep the receipt for the lamb skewers. We need to expense it when we get back to the company."

Seeing Qin Xun acting like nothing had happened, Xia Ning grew increasingly worried.

Putting on a brave face?

Turning grief into appetite?

Watching him head for the bedroom, she could already imagine him hiding under the covers, crying.

Just as Qin Xun opened the bedroom door, he suddenly heard Xia Ning call out softly.

"Um..."

He turned his head and looked at Xia Ning.

"What's up?"

Xia Ning stood up, a warm smile appearing on her face.

"Today is the grand opening for the 50 stores. Shall we... go out for a walk and take a look?"

She couldn't enter the bedroom to keep him company, so she wanted to take him out to clear his mind and keep him from overthinking things alone.

Qin Xun glanced at the bright sun outside the window, looking a bit hesitant.

"Ah... this..."

Xia Ning's tone was calm, her attitude firm.

"We accepted 10 million. We have to at least show the proper attitude."

Qin Xun slowly turned around, carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and sighed.

"Sigh..."

"Shit is hard to eat, money is hard to earn."

Xia Ning laughed, her eyes crinkling.

Qin Xun was stunned.

He was momentarily dazed, looking at the rare, gentle smile on Xia Ning's face.

Could this cold, savage little girl who loved pulling people's hair actually believe that I once had a sweetheart named Huang Huai?

He raised his finger and pointed at Xia Ning.

"Xia Ning, you really are a..."

He thought for a moment, feeling that by maintaining the persona of a heartbroken romantic, Xia Ning seemed easier to get along with.

He swallowed the words "idiot" and said instead.

"You really are a kind and approachable girl!"

Xia Ning: "..."

Kind and approachable?

Shouldn't it be kind-hearted?

"Kind and approachable" is used to describe moms or grandmas, right?

Qin Xun put on a mask and left the hotel with Xia Ning.

Although the 50 newly opened stores were relatively concentrated, there was still some distance between them, though not too far.

Taking a taxi to inspect the stores was inconvenient due to traffic and parking issues; the best mode of transport was an electric scooter.

On the side of the road, Qin Xun scanned an electric scooter and watched Xia Ning standing there blankly.

"Why aren't you scanning one?"

Xia Ning's expression became a bit awkward.

"I don't know how to ride."

Qin Xun paused, stared at Xia Ning for a while, realized she didn't seem to be lying, and sighed.

"Useless!"

Xia Ning: "????"

He's scolding me?

Forget it!

I'll endure it!

She said coldly.

"You give me a ride! You usually give me rides."

Qin Xun widened his eyes and pointed at the electric scooter.

"Carry a passenger on a shared electric scooter?"

"It's so small!"

Xia Ning: "I'm very light."

Qin Xun: "???"

Is this kid stupid?

Is this about weight?

This is about size!

But then he heard Xia Ning say.

"Is your skill not good enough? Can't ride a small vehicle?"

Qin Xun raised an eyebrow and straddled the shared electric scooter.

"Get on!"

Xia Ning looked down and realized the small vehicle didn't seem very comfortable to sit on; it was a bit cramped. After hesitating for a moment, she still sat on it gently.

Qin Xun was in front, Xia Ning in the back.

The two were pressed together, tightly pressed from top to bottom.

Instantly, both of their bodies stiffened.

Feeling the softness and warmth on his back, Qin Xun felt a bit nervous; he got off the bike and locked it.

"Um... let's just take a taxi, shall we?"

Xia Ning's face flushed slightly, and she nodded quickly.

"Mmm!"

Qin Xun and Xia Ning took a taxi and followed the map navigation to inspect the Dudu Tea stores.

The taxi driver drove toward the destination as requested. Upon turning the corner, he saw the entrance of the Dudu Tea shop on that street blocked by twenty or thirty people. He was startled.

"Holy crap!"

"What's going on?"

"Is there money to be picked up?"

Qin Xun and Xia Ning got out of the car and saw a young lady wearing a Dudu Tea uniform, holding a loudspeaker and chanting at the entrance.

"Spend a little, get good goods"

"Not buying is your fault"

"We have sundaes, we have milkshakes"

"Mixue Bingcheng's prices are low"

"Ice cream melts fast"

"Might as well get a big sundae"

"Big gold chain, little watch"

"Mixue Bingcheng is just good"

Some customers, while waiting, took out their phones to film the milk tea girl rapping, finding it quite novel.

They had heard all sorts of store opening slogans.

"Buy one get one free"

"Bankruptcy clearance"

"Last three days, last three days"

"Big grand opening sale"

"The factory manager ran off with his sister-in-law"

But they had never seen such interesting rapping; they were all preparing to post the videos they filmed to Douyin.

"This is too funny!"

"It might go viral!"

"Business is really hard to do nowadays! You even need talent to sell a cup of milk tea!"

"Who on earth wrote this? What a talent!"

"Must be a show-off!"

After watching for a while.

Qin Xun turned to look at Xia Ning and smiled.

"You taught this rapping really well!"

Seeing Qin Xun smile, Xia Ning saw that he didn't seem to be affected by "Huang Huai," and she also laughed.

Her smile was warm.

Qin Xun was stunned looking at Xia Ning, and sighed.

"Little Xia, you're getting prettier and prettier!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning immediately pursed her lips, cooled her face, turned around, and walked quickly toward another store nearby.

"Let's go inspect the next one!"

Qin Xun: "???"

I just gave a casual compliment, and you're already getting cocky?

Xia Ning walked in front, leaving Qin Xun behind, her face feeling a bit hot.

Arrived at the next store.

This was a community store, opened at the entrance of a residential complex.

Qin Xun saw that in the open space at the entrance of this store, there were dozens of people gathered in a circle, but they were all trying their best to stay quiet.

He took Xia Ning and squeezed in to take a look.

It was actually an influencer filming a Douyin video.

A thin man was sitting on a small chair, crossing his legs, holding a cup of Dudu Tea, lecturing with a serious face.

"Who pays money to look at your sour faces?"

"They paid money!"

"Proactively go and cater to the customers, make them feel comfortable."

"No one owes anyone anything."

"Is it necessary to make a scene like this?"

"Social pressure is so high, it's not easy for anyone."

"In this line of work, we provide emotional service."

"Since the customers come to have fun, they must have that need, and we must satisfy them as much as possible."

"Business is getting harder and harder to do; if we don't change, the results are predictable."

"If the store closes, what about you?"

"You'll only be able to wander the streets later and find your own milk tea to drink."

Standing in front of him was a bewildered Snow King mascot, extending its thick, short hand to scratch its head.

It couldn't even reach!

After filming.

The fat man bowed and cupped his hands to thank the onlookers.

"Thank you all for keeping quiet and cooperating with my work just now."

"My Douyin ID is 'A Da Bu Liu Gentleman', please like and follow."

The onlookers laughed.

"There are so many streamers doing 'edge-ball' content, but I've never seen anyone do it like you!"

"If I hadn't seen that goofy Snow King, I would have asked you for the address!"

"Hehe! You really are a conscientious boss!"

Suddenly.

His gaze fell on a certain spot, and an excited look appeared on his face.

"Godfather!"

The onlookers were shocked.

Holy crap!

Are influencers this good at pulling stunts?

Calling a passerby "Godfather" in the middle of the street?

Qin Xun saw A Da Bu Liu Gentleman looking over, shouted "Oh no" in his heart, grabbed Xia Ning's hand, and ran outside.

Behind him, heart-wrenching cries rang out.

"Godfather!"

"Wait for me!"

"Godfather!"

"Did you see if the stunt I just pulled was good?"

Qin Xun ran away, holding Xia Ning's hand.

They went to check a few more stores and found that many had one or two influencers pulling stunts at the entrance, performing hard to get the wind rises》.

After inspecting a few stores, Qin Xun really lost interest and took Xia Ning back to the hotel.

That night, An Ke came back very late, almost exhausted.

The 52 influencers finished recording their material, edited and posted it overnight, and invested in dou+.

In the dead of night.

Undercurrents were surging on Douyin.

The next morning.

A video surged to the top of the Douyin hot list.

[Lawless! Major influencer Qin Xun actually beat up an innocent passerby in the street!]
