Chapter 287: Chapter 269 Do You Have Wine for My Story_1

The top trending topic in the tribe at this moment is #FeiYangtheDualRunnerup#.

Thanks to the trending topic, my account has gained quite a few followers today and the comments are extraordinarily plentiful, except….

Fei Yang went through the comments on his tribe account with an annoyed look, a slight twitch apparent on the corner of his mouth:

“Hail to Mr. Second!”

“In the dark, there’s a will of number two.”

“Chen Zhiyu: Brother, I entrust my career to you.”

“Admirable Fish: Don’t rush, this is only the second time.”

“Is King Fei about to become the new Perennial Runner-up?”

“My God, Chen Zhiyu is toxic! Last time, after winning the first place, he secretly passed the baton to King Fei, who was in second place!”

“A certain fishing rod manufacturing company: King Fei, as Chen Zhiyu’s endorsement is about to expire, after conducting a study, we believe you are the most suitable spokesperson to endorse our fishing rod!”

“…”

Fei Yang really wanted to say that this hot search was unnecessary.

At this moment.

Hidden at home, Chen Zhiyu also glanced at the comments on Fei Yang’s post and felt a surge of sympathy.

If he didn’t hold back his laughter, he might seem more sympathetic.

However, some feelings were genuinely sincere because in this world, only Chen Zhiyu could truly understand how Fei Yang was feeling at this moment.

He shook his head.

Chen Zhiyu sighed: “Cyberbullying is terrifying… luckily, I am on the delivering end of the blows.”

Oh…

He made a secondary account and painted a “2” on Fei Yang’s post.

Agent Liu Mou looked at Chen Zhiyu: “Is there really such a thing?”

“What?”

“The will of number two.”

Chen Zhiyu rolled his eyes: “Oh, come on! I’m no longer the Perennial Runner-up, so this has nothing to do with me!”

Liu Mou grinned, then reminded him: “Don’t accidentally like the post.”

“Although I really want to…”

Chen Zhiyu responded: “Aren’t there these things they say about getting their account hacked?”

Does liking from a secondary account count as a real like?

Liu Mou rolled his eyes.

Humming a tune, Chen Zhiyu continued feeding his fish.

Liu Mou asked, out of curiosity: “Tell me in secret, did you really buy it?”

Chen Zhiyu looked around and then mysteriously raised one finger.

Liu Mou got confused: “Only one thousand yuan? That’s even less than me. I bought eight thousand!”

Chen Zhiyu shook his head: “No, it’s thirty-four thousand and fifty-eight yuan. I put all my remaining balance from that card into it.”

Liu Mou looked at Chen Zhiyu as if he was an idiot: “Then why are you holding up one finger?”

He sighed.

Liu Mou once again spoke up, sounding quite upset: “Then you have lost even more than me. Hey, from now on, let’s not touch this betting thing anymore. It’s too risky; we all lost a lot.”

“Huh?”

Chen Zhiyu corrected him: “Can you leave the ‘we’ out? When I held up one finger, I meant to tell you that I bet on Admirable Fish being number one.”

Liu Mou: “…”

Chen Zhiyu, who was still playing with the fish, continued: “I wanted to buy Fei Yang’s at first, but suddenly I remembered the previous events. I felt a mysterious chill run down my spine, so I chose to bet on Teacher Admirable Fish.”

Liu Mou did not want to talk with Chen Zhiyu anymore.

After a while, agent Liu Mou looked at the fish in the tank and finally asked again: “These fish are actually well-cared for by you. I plan to raise fish too, anything I should take note of?”

“There are loads.”

Chen Zhiyu skillfully responded: “First and foremost is maintaining the water quality. If the water quality is poor, the fish will get sick, so it’s essential to learn how to change the water regularly. Ideally, water should be changed once a week, each time replacing a quarter of the water. The best water to use is aged water. If you’re unable to age the water, make sure to oxygenate the water for two hours, or use a water purifier. As for my dragon fish here, it’s important to learn how to enhance their color, which is related to feeding. Also, the water temperature in the tank should be maintained between twenty-four to twenty-eight degrees for the optimal growth of the dragon fish…”

Liu Mou looked at Chen Zhiyu, who was speaking confidently, with a strange expression.

If it wasn’t known otherwise, anyone would think that Chen Zhiyu was an expert in fish farming, not a top-tier singer.

All of a sudden, he asked, “Zhiyu, why do you know so much about fish?”

“…”

Chen Zhiyu suddenly fell silent.

I have a story. Do you have wine?

…

Partly to celebrate “Red Sun” topping the season chart, Lin Yuan invited his agent, Jin Mu, to a hot pot dinner at Sun Yaohuo’s restaurant.

The Flame Hot Pot Restaurant.

Early on, Sun Yaohuo was waiting at the door. As soon as he saw Lin Yuan get out of the car, he ran over, “Junior, the private room is ready. Also, I brought in some fresh ingredients for you to try!”

“Thank you, senior.”

Lin Yuan then introduced Jin Mu to Sun Yaohuo, “Uncle Jin is my agent. You guys should get to know each other.”

“Nice to meet you, Uncle Jin!”

Sun Yaohuo greeted him with a smile, “Since you’re junior’s guy, I’ll get you a membership in return. You can come here at a 50% discount.”

“Thank you!”

Jin Mu felt flattered.

Soon, they all walked into the hotpot restaurant. Once inside, Jin Mu was a bit surprised, “The business at Mr. Sun’s hotpot restaurant is doing really well!”

That’s no exaggeration.

The Flame Hot Pot Restaurant was full. The staff was busy shuttling back and forth, clearly overwhelmed. The business was booming!

Moreover.

At the entrance of the restaurant, there was a long queue of people waiting, each holding a number for their turn to be seated.

Jin Mu has been to many hot pot places.

It’s the first time he has seen such a lively hot pot restaurant. A hot pot restaurant like this is definitely making a fortune every day.

“It’s because we have a 70% discount today!”

Sun Yaohuo smiled, “Although business is usually good, I announced on my Weibo that if junior’s song got first place, my hotpot restaurant would offer a 70% discount, which led to countless people asking me for the restaurant’s location. I’m too overwhelmed with customers and we’ll definitely have to remain open overnight, until tomorrow.”

Speaking of which.

Sun Yaohuo’s business acumen wasn’t something intentional. He just wanted to give Lin Yuan a lucky charm. Even though Lin Yuan’s song wasn’t sung by Sun Yaohuo himself, but because he has a strong affection towards him, his support is genuine.

But what Sun Yaohuo didn’t expect was…

Because of the charm, his hotpot restaurant gained immense popularity. Even people from other cities drove to Su City to eat hot pot!

In addition.

Several businessmen came to collaborate and invested in his restaurant to expand Flame Hot Pot as a brand. However, Sun Yaohuo turned them down.

The hot pot restaurant belonged to his junior.

If people invested in the restaurant and Lin Yuan wasn’t happy with it, or if the shareholders didn’t treat Lin Yuan well that would be really unseemly.

He mustn’t forget his original intentions!

Though, seeing the business getting better and better, and many people liking the taste, Sun Yaohuo already has a follow-up plan.

He opened his mouth and said,

“I plan to acquire the hot pot restaurant near our company and change it to the Flame Hot Pot flavor. There are a few more shops there, I plan to buy them as well and offer something different. Always eating hotpot gets boring, right? This also has to do with me making some money recently. Haha, no one dares to play as ruthlessly as I do! What does the Maestro know about it!”

Jin Mu: “…”

Seeing Sun Yaohuo’s crazed face, Jin Mu suddenly felt a chill, realizing that this man was not ordinary!

How much must he have staked on this?

But indeed, the hot pot restaurant is well-managed, which leads Jin Mu to admire it. He then couldn’t resist asking, “Mr. Sun, how many years have you been in the catering business? You indeed are a natural-born catering king!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Yaohuo looked at Jin Mu, then at the smiling Lin Yuan. He suddenly felt misunderstood. “Actually, I’m a singer.”

PS: That’s it for today. Also, I’d like to explain, some people may not like “Red Sun”. Writing a book is a difficult task when trying to satisfy everyone’s taste. Maybe you guys will like the next song? Either way, Pollution Bai Xian is now selecting songs that cater to popular taste.
