MC Bookstore Chapter 112 Preparing for Clarification
Chapter 112 Preparing for Clarification
Chen Yuan spoke calmly: "Hello, Sister Tian Tian, I'm Chen Yuan, the owner of the vegetarian breakfast shop."
The voice on the other end suddenly changed tone and became cheerful.
"It's you, handsome! What do you need? Wait, was all that coldness you've been putting on these past few days just an act?"
Chen Yuan could tell that the other person was just joking, so he didn't take the bait and continued speaking.
"That's right, I'd like to clarify some rumors circulating online."
"I plan to go live tomorrow morning and show you the whole process of making breakfast. Could you please help me promote it on your account and include the live stream time? Your large following will reach a wider audience. It's much better than me promoting it myself."
A few low laughs came from the other side.
"My goodness, do you know how much it costs me to do a promotional video for a single GG ad?"
"I don't know, but you can ask. As long as it's within my tolerance, I will definitely agree."
Why don't you go ask your ex-wife?
"..."
There was silence on the other end. Realizing she had said something wrong, Sister Sweetie quickly changed the subject.
"Anyway, it's not cheap to hire me, are you sure you want to pay?"
"Please just say it."
The girl's silvery laughter rang out.
It has to be said that Sister Sweetie's voice is indeed sweet and energetic; it's a real shame she's not a broadcaster.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in Chen Yuan's mind.
"After what seemed like careful consideration," Sister Sweetie said.
"Seeing you as a single father raising a child, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk to run a breakfast shop, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable of me to ask for an exorbitant price?"
"Of course not."
"But my conscience won't allow it."
"Hmm...how about this?"
"I'll share this for you, but in return, you have to cover my breakfast expenses for the entire year. I can eat whatever I want, and you can't take my money, okay?"
Chen Yuan paused for a moment.
He didn't know much about this industry, and he didn't know whether the conditions the other party was offering were too much or too little.
Just as he was hesitating, the person on the other end spoke again.
"Don't worry, you won't lose out by agreeing. I charge over ten thousand for a single ten-second GG video. Don't hesitate any longer, or I might change my mind."
"Wouldn't that mean I got a huge advantage?"
"It's okay, I'm willing to let you take advantage of me anyway."
Chen Yuan: This woman...
I heard the sound of fingernails tapping on the phone screen.
Da da da……
A few minutes later, Sister Sweetie's voice rang out again.
"Okay, that's all done."
"Thank you, I'll remember this favor. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."
A few more bursts of Sweetie's laughter came from across the way.
"You think you can repay this favor with just a few perfunctory thank yous and a few breakfasts?"
"Boss Chen, I took a huge risk to support you. This is such a big favor, how are you going to thank me?"
Chen Yuan fell silent.
How was he supposed to respond to that?
Sweetie's voice became even softer, and she deliberately dragged out her words.
"Why don't you just offer yourself to me and start a relationship? I'm a big internet celebrity, dating me would be a real status symbol."
"You don't need to rush to answer me; you can think about it carefully."
Sweetie didn't really want to date Chen Yuan; she just thought he was handsome and his cooking was delicious.
Even if it doesn't work out, it's still fun to tease them.
Unexpectedly, the other party answered quickly without even thinking.
"I'm sorry, no."
The voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm.
Sweetie: ? ? ? What? Am I hallucinating?
"What...what did you say?"
I said I was sorry, but I couldn't.
"Why? I'm not bad-looking, I'm a big internet celebrity, and I'm rich. What do you mean by this? You don't even like me?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
"So what do you mean?"
Chen Yuan fell silent.
When Sister Tian Tian said those words, for some reason, Su Qingxue's expression and appearance instantly popped into his mind.
He recalled the earnest way she stood in the store helping to wipe the tables, and how she ate while Manchester United was happy.
Chen Yuan couldn't forget it.
Something seemed to gently bump into a corner of my heart.
I haven't felt this way in many years.
"I'm sorry, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that in my heart..."
"Oh...you're thinking about your ex-wife, aren't you? She's a bit older than me, but she's well-maintained and quite pretty. Are you planning to rekindle your old flame with her?"
"It wasn't her, it was someone else."
Sweetie's gossip radar immediately went off, and she hurriedly pressed for more information.
"Who is it? Was she inside when I went to check out the store the other day? I'm so curious, can you tell me even a little bit?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say. Please don't ask anymore."
"You really can't tell me. At least tell me what my competitor looks like."
"I really can't say."
Despite Sister Tian's repeated questioning, Chen Yuan remained tight-lipped.
Left with no other choice, Sister Sweetie had to extinguish the burning fire of gossip in her heart.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. A gentleman doesn't take what others cherish. Since you have someone in your heart, then treat them well. Just take what I said earlier as a joke."
"Well, but if you ever change your mind, remember to let me know."
"……good."
After hanging up the phone.
Chen Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, his hand unconsciously touching his chest.
My heart seems to be beating a little fast.
Unbeknownst to me, Su Qingxue's image had already been hidden so deeply in my heart.
Chen Yuan looked out the window.
The lights in the old neighborhood are already off.
……
He didn't care what happened to Sister Sweetie's account that night.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Chen Yuan had already arrived at the breakfast shop.
I fixed my phone to an old stand, the lens pointed directly at the cleanest work surface. Neatly arranged next to it were bags of flour, oil drums, and fresh vegetables.
Aunt Li, who was standing to the side, took a rag and wiped here and there.
They wanted to polish the cement floor until it shone.
"Aunt Li, are you ready? Let's begin."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan pressed the live stream button.
He originally thought that there wouldn't be many people at this time besides Sister Sweetie's fans.
Unexpectedly, nearly 5000 people flooded into the live stream room in an instant.
And this number is growing at an alarming rate!
