Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 465 - 216: Yang Chen Takes Action, Defying Fate

The owner was so angry at the evaluation given by the female streamer that he almost fainted. If this evaluation stands and with the streamer distorting facts and slandering them, it could basically announce the closure of his restaurant.

Don’t underestimate the power of brainless netizens, who frequently send wreaths to people’s shops and such. These are common activities for them, and reasoning with them is impossible; they only believe they are right.

Owner: "Miss, please give an honest review, you can’t just make stuff up!"

Female Streamer: "I’m not making stuff up! This is an honest review! I’m warning you, don’t try to stop me from leaving, otherwise, face the consequences!"

The owner wanted to step forward, but the female streamer suddenly turned and shouted, "Help! Help!"

The owner had no choice but to quickly raise his hands. It was already difficult to clarify the situation, and if the owner tangled with the streamer further, it would become even harder to explain, leading to more severe consequences.

The owner said humbly, "I’ll give you money, okay? You delete the review and explain things clearly to your fans. Is that possible?"

The female streamer was very clever. If she took the owner’s money, it would be considered extortion, and she would have to bear legal consequences.

She didn’t want the owner’s money; her fans would pity her and send her gifts, which would earn even more and be legal.

"I don’t want money! Don’t bother me again, or it won’t be as simple as shouting a few times!" the female streamer threatened, then quickly turned and left.

The owner squatted down helplessly, asked the nearby waiter for a cigarette, and smoked with frustration.

After smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and loudly said, "Cook all the ingredients and offer them to all the guests for free!"

The chef and waiters were dumbfounded.

"Owner, what are you doing?"

"Not closing down?"

"I refuse to believe there’s no justice in this world. Whatever she says is right?"

"She’s just an internet celebrity; can she really be lawless? So many of us can testify, we’re not afraid of her unjustly accusing our shop!"

...

The diners also comforted the owner one after another.

"Owner, they’re right, we can all testify for you, there’s no need to give up."

"She’s just a petty internet celebrity, isn’t she being too arrogant!"

"At worst, you report to the police, we can testify for you!"

...

The owner sighed and said, "It’s useless, you don’t understand the power of brainless fans and keyboard warriors. A friend of mine runs a spicy hotpot shop and because there was a fight in the shop and he didn’t promptly intervene, netizens sent wreaths and blocked his entrance every day, even the police couldn’t do anything, and he eventually had to shut down the shop and leave."

The waiter cried to the owner, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gone up to quiet her, which wouldn’t have led to this situation. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."

The owner smiled and comforted him, "No, what you did was right. She was loudly disturbing other diners, which was indeed improper, you should have stopped her. We just had bad luck encountering an unreasonable internet celebrity."

At that moment, Yang Chen finished eating.

"Owner, check please," Yang Chen called.

The owner quickly ran over and said with a smile, "No charge, we’re offering free food to everyone."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "In business, you shouldn’t waive charges. It’s not yet at the point of no return."

The owner smiled wryly and said, "Alas... brother, you don’t need to comfort me. You can come over tomorrow and see, I guarantee there will be wreaths and such at the door."

Yang Chen patted the owner’s shoulder and said, "There’s always a way out. Trust me, bad people can’t succeed!"

After speaking, he left 200 yuan and left.

The owner quickly picked up the money and chased after him, insisting on giving it back to Yang Chen.

But Yang Chen wasn’t the type of person to eat for free and threw the money onto the nearby table again.

Yang Chen got in his car and left, and people in the shop started chatting.

"What does he do? Could he be someone important?"

"Looks familiar, have I seen him somewhere? Oh, right, the cover of Monsieur! Look, isn’t he on the cover of Monsieur?"

"Oh, it really is him!"

"So, does that mean he’s just a ride-share driver?"

"Alas... What can a ride-share driver do? The other person has hundreds of thousands of fans, he’s really powerless."

"Damn! I thought he was some big shot who could help the owner adjudicate. Turns out he was just showing off casually."

...

Meanwhile, the female streamer started broadcasting again under a streetlight at a crossroads.

With no one around, she could fully indulge in her performance.

"Boohoo... babies, I managed to escape with great difficulty. The owner wouldn’t let me leave; I was scared to death," the female streamer said.

Soon, more and more viewers joined the livestream.

After hearing the female streamer’s cries, they were all indignant, sending gifts to comfort the streamer while posting comments to condemn the owner.

The female streamer was overjoyed, realizing she should have had her agency arrange such drama, knowing she could trick fans into sending gifts.

This wave not only earned her fans’ gifts and sympathy but also garnered tens of thousands more fans, truly a bloody profit.

By now, waiters and diners from the restaurant were leaving comments in the livestream to expose the female streamer’s ugly side, but their messages were drowned by the angry fans’ comments, and the female streamer subsequently kicked them all out of the livestream and blocked them.

The female streamer thought to herself, "A bunch of fools think they can fight me? Whatever I say goes, and you still want to resist? Tomorrow I’ll stage another apology drama and surely receive many more rewards and gain tens of thousands more followers. Hehehe! No wonder those big internet celebrities love playing scripted dramas; creating some stories is an easy way to make money and gain followers. Haha..."
