Chapter 198: You're No Match for a Bootlicker. (Xiao 7k Requests Subscriptions!)_4
"Really? That's way too convenient. In the cold winter, sometimes I just don't want to leave my warm bed, why doesn't our school have this?"
"And his fruit milk tea looks like it has so many fruits in it, it looks a lot better than the ones here, but it must be really expensive, right..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion for a while.
Some couples were enticed by the smell of egg tarts, feeling a little greedy for a taste.
Zhou Hangyu's acting was especially exaggerated. He picked up Hu Hai Auntie's milk tea and crunched on fruits, enjoying the crispiness of the egg tarts along with the fresh fragrance of the fruits and the creamy taste of the tarts—all of which made it particularly tempting in this cold weather.
"Slurp, tsk tsk tsk..."
Zhou Hangyu's acting was quite overdone. As he sipped on the milk tea, he deliberately made a lot of noise, even giving off the vibe of savoring Maotai, as if he was about to remark, "Hmm~ a rare delicacy~".

He suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone around him.
"This is what I call milk tea! Sweet with the taste of fruits, and rich in the flavor of milk. Compared to this, the milk tea here tastes like horse piss!"
Zhou Hangyu's exaggerated performance stunned everyone around him. They stared, thinking, what the hell, is there some kind of performance today?
The shop owner almost died of anger, certain that this was deliberate sabotage!
She was just about to say something, but by that time, many people had already gathered around.
Although Zhou Hangyu's acting was exaggerated, the fruit milk tea and snacks they ordered did indeed look quite nice.
It was like watching a commercial—the more overstated, the more brainwashing it seemed; in fact, it often resulted in better effects!
A guy curiously approached and asked,
"Hey bro, how much for all this stuff?"
"Just twenty or thirty yuan, including the delivery fee for the runner. Otherwise, it'd be even cheaper. Want to give it a try?"
Zhou Hangyu replied with a smile.
Twenty or thirty yuan might sound like a lot, but what place is Hu Hai? It's a shopping center in the city center, where even a cup of plain water could sell for five yuan, and an egg tart could set you back more than ten yuan.
A cup of milk tea brimming with fruits and an egg tart, plus having someone deliver it right to you? Those twenty or thirty yuan seemed like quite the bargain!
"It's that good? Then I'll have a taste..."
Hearing this, the guy was tempted. He picked up a toothpick, speared two pieces of fruit, and chewed. The freshness was even better than the fruits they'd pick out at a fruit shop!
"Come on, everybody try some."
They had brought a fruit bucket, and Zhou Hangyu invited everyone to have a taste.
"It's really not bad, I'll order one for myself!"
A few others came to try and agreed that it tasted great.
The guy disguised as the delivery boy, Li Rundong, then shouted,
"No need to order, guys! Right at the corner, we at Hu Hai Auntie are having a promotion – giving away a hundred cups of milk tea and fruits, along with egg tarts. Those interested might want to check it out!"
His voice turned everyone's attention to the door.
Indeed, at the corner, a tent had been set up at some point, and Hu Hai Auntie's sign was very eye-catching. Zhao Lianmai and a few other girls had already started the milk tea shop's giveaway event.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing here? If you're not drinking milk tea, get out! What are you loitering here for?"
At that moment, the owner behind the counter finally pushed through the crowd and confronted them, as if to say, this is my turf!
"Damn it! What luck, let's hurry and go line up too!"
"Exactly, who the hell wants to drink industrial saccharin, let's go!"
But before the owner could start cursing, the crowd had already dispersed; many people were not particularly fond of the milk tea shop, especially of its owner.
Feeling the disparity and having their curiosity piqued by the extravagant performance, the crowd now wanted to join in on the excitement.
So before the owner could even utter her trash talk, the crowd had jostled her so much she nearly fell to the ground.
Zhou Hangyu and the others, seeing that their mission was accomplished, quickly blended into the crowd and slipped away.
"Those damn little bastards..."
The owner couldn't help but curse. She was greedy but not foolish; she suspected that this was a planned disruption.
At that moment, in the milk tea shop, only Xu Musen and He Qiang were sitting in the corner.
He Qiang, having watched the whole thing unfold, couldn't help but laugh; his buddy had become really wicked, but it was just a taste of their own medicine—payback!
She deserved it!
"You two... did you guys invite people over to cause a ruckus?"
Infuriated, the owner approached them, annoyed by their laughter.
"Boss, careful with your words. You can control what's sold in your shop, but can you control where customers choose to spend their money?"
Xu Musen smiled as he spoke.
"You, you... fine, fine, fine, you two play dirty, don't you! Remember this: I would rather sell to someone else for a hundred thousand than sell to you!"
The owner was so angry she felt like flipping the table.
Hearing her declaration, a triumphant glint flickered in Xu Musen's eyes, but he just shook his head with a sigh, took out his business card, and handed it to her.
"We're all in business here; don't make an enemy of money. When you've come around, just give me a call. Don't worry, my offer of 150,000 still stands. We won't bother you any longer."
Xu Musen stood up smiling, leaving the untouched milk tea behind, and left with He Qiang.
"Go to hell!"
The owner stood motionless for a while, tearing up his business card into tiny pieces, nearly bursting with rage. She'd rather die than sell the shop to him!
Once outside, He Qiang also let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh, "Moriko, you're really vicious, but it was refreshing and so satisfying!"
He clicked his tongue, "But now you've totally made an enemy out of her. It's going to be really difficult to take over the shop now."
"Why would I want to take it over? Didn't the owner say she'd rather sell it to someone else for a hundred thousand than to me?" Xu Musen replied with a laugh.
"Then haven't you wasted your effort?" He Qiang couldn't understand.
"So, I plan to let someone else take over the shop."
Xu Musen's mouth twitched, betraying his sense of achievement, as he made a call to a certain wealthy young woman with a Ferrari...
