The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Chapter 3166 Black Price

Li Menglong thought for a moment, had he sacrificed too much for Yoona this morning?

From the first time he took the blame to the time he took the initiative to provoke others, he felt like a saint.

It would be fine if he was Yoona's suitor. After all, a dog-licker would not die a good death. If he died for Yoona, it would be considered a well-deserved death for him.

But he's not. If he has any thoughts about Yoona, it's just to get some pocket money from her.

At least Li Menglong didn't have any bad thoughts about Yoona herself.

In this way, his efforts at the moment will appear extremely unnecessary, because Yoona cannot give more in return.

For Yoona, the most economical way to repay her is to give her your own body, so Li Menglong might have to find some expenses for her.

But Li Menglong was not very interested in this plan. He wanted to use money to prove his worth.

This is more difficult to handle, because it is difficult to specifically measure the value of this kind of human-like relationship.

Maybe in Li Menglong's eyes, his contribution is worth hundreds of millions, but Yoona thinks it's just that.

Without Li Menglong's help, could she have died here?

And seeing that she didn't take the initiative to ask the other party to help, Li Menglong did it voluntarily. Under such circumstances, he still had the nerve to come to her and ask for money?

Of course, once the matter develops to this stage, the two of them will probably not talk so much, and they will already be in a fight.

Therefore, both of them will try to control their words as much as possible to avoid their emotions being too extreme.

For example, at this moment, Li Menglong couldn't go directly to Yoona to ask for money. He also wanted someone with dignity.

Therefore, he is more inclined to rely on mutual understanding. At least Yoona should have a certain awareness, it is nothing more than the specific amount of money.

If you want to test this limit, you really need to use your brain.

But before that, Li Menglong felt that he should replenish energy for his brain. He was really hungry.

Early in the morning, Yoona had been forcing her to buy breakfast, but he hadn't even eaten a bite yet. He had been recording the show for so long, and even came to the company to quarrel on her behalf.

The more Li Menglong thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. What evil had he done to be bullied by Yoona like this?

The key is that he was indeed more proactive throughout the whole process. Although he could use responsibility as an excuse, it still made him very unhappy.

So his first wave of revenge came quite directly. When he got to the first floor, he started ordering like crazy, which made the landlady too lazy to place an order. After all, small tickets have costs.

"What do you mean? No more reception? Or can you just remember it in your head?"

Faced with Li Menglong's suspicion, the landlady was quite direct: "I suspect you don't have the money to pay. Otherwise, why don't you please pay a deposit first?"

This seems to be a bit discriminatory. I have never heard of any restaurant where you still need to pay a deposit when ordering food. At least you can settle the bill together.

But the landlady really had Li Menglong in control, because he didn't have the money to pay either the deposit or the full payment.

To be precise, he shouldn't be the one to pay for it. Yoona owes him so much. Isn't it too much to give her a meal?

"I'll let Yoona pay directly later. She owes me a huge favor. Trust me!"

Li Menglong tried to convince the boss's wife that he had little character left, but the process did not go so smoothly.

Because this is not the first time he has used similar methods. He places orders in the name of girls and then defrauds them of food and drink. It is a very bad method.

Especially when the boss lady went to check out the girls, the scene was quite embarrassing.

The girls looked confused, but they subconsciously paid. After all, they couldn't make it difficult for the boss's wife.

The landlady was also a little ashamed, as if she was here to collect debts. She was just here to ask for meal expenses.

In short, both parties are quite embarrassed by this behavior, so why is there any need to continue?

As a result, Li Menglong lost the right to place orders here for a long time. Unless it was a cash transaction, he would never want to buy food here.

But today, maybe Li Menglong's attitude was too sincere, or maybe there were not many customers in the store. In short, the landlady didn't mind hearing a few more words from him.

Who is Li Menglong? He has worked behind the boss's wife for several years. I still don't know what her character is?

It's useless no matter how sincere you say it now, because in the other party's view, this kind of credit behavior is taking risks.

Although he ordered a lot of food, how much profit could he make even if he ate one portion and lost another? At least I can't let the boss lady be tempted!

So the focus now is to increase the stakes and let the boss lady make a balance between benefits and risks.

Li Menglong himself feels that it is a waste just to make profits from ordering, unless he invites everyone in the company to eat together.

Even though the money spent is not her own, is there any difference between Yoona’s money and his money?

He earned this with his life, so why should he take advantage of those outsiders?

Since you don't want to do this, you can only find another way, a less bright path.

It is said that during the period when he and the proprietress opened the store together, Li Menglong had seen many small tricks, many of which were quite classic.

For example, if you take rebates, don’t think that there are no rebates in fried chicken restaurants.

Generally, once a company has ordered dozens of copies, they can discuss the price, and the lady boss will even take the initiative to offer a discount.

But whose pocket the saved money will go into is a matter of science.

If the boss comes directly to purchase, there is nothing wrong with giving a discount directly.

But what about the staff coming? What if this employee is a little more thoughtful?

At this time, not only can't you give a discount, but you also have to ask the other party to order a few more copies, and the extra copies will not be in kind and will be returned to the other party in cash.

This is the most direct method, and Li Menglong now plans to take this approach, but in turn give the rebate to the proprietress.

"I'll order two, and you can give me the first one. How about that?"

The moment she heard Li Menglong's words, the landlady's eyes suddenly brightened.

It's not because I'm greedy for this small profit, but because I miss my past youth.

As the store grows, the proprietress has stopped engaging in these unattractive tricks in recent years.

Earning that little money is not enough to worry about. Besides, she is now more interested in the store's reputation.

We have never even planned to open a branch. Let the proprietress risk damaging the store's reputation by doing this. Isn't this a waste of time and money?

So when she suddenly heard Li Menglong's proposal, she immediately thought of the scene of those years when she worked hard to make money.

Although life was tiring and poor at that time, it is also very fulfilling now that I think about it.

Seeing that Li Menglong could bring her some positive emotions, the landlady didn't mind making an exception.

The main reason is that the few people involved are considered her own people. Even if the money is not clear in the end, it is amazing that she spends her own money to buy fun.

"Buy two copies and one? This..."

Hearing the landlady's mutterings, Li Menglong knew that there was a possibility, but the price had not been paid yet.

This is very simple. The boss lady is not an outsider. Transferring some of Yoona's money to the boss lady is not a waste, right?

Besides, based on his understanding of the landlady, he would probably accept the dirty money, but he would not hide it from Yoona.

He will probably tell Yoona in a joking way, and count the money as extra store balance, and Yoona can spend it directly when he comes over in the future.

From this point of view, Yoona is at a slight disadvantage, but does she still have the nerve to cause trouble?

Relying on the huge favor that Yoona owed him, Li Menglong directly made a cool move of buying ten copies of the first one.

This ratio surprised even the boss lady. Could it be that Li Menglong took a bullet for Yoona? Otherwise, how dare you give such a rebate ratio?

Compared to this moment, Li Menglong bought a normal fried chicken at ten times the price. This can no longer be described as being taken advantage of, right?

"Just place your order with confidence. If she refuses to pay, just ask her to come to me!"

Li Menglong gave a positive response, this is just an appetizer, and Yoona will continue to bleed later.

Since he was so sure, it was impossible not to earn the money he had on hand, so the two of them worked together to settle the bill in which only Yoona was injured.

I don’t know if it was Li Menglong’s illusion. He thought this fried chicken was particularly delicious. Sure enough, the high price was not for nothing.

However, he did not forget to care about Yoona while eating, mainly because he wanted her to come down and pay the bill.

We can't delay this kind of thing too much. We must take advantage of Yoona's guilt at the moment, otherwise what if she doesn't admit it?

Without letting him wait for too long, Yoona had already walked down with a few people, and Li Enxi was not found among them. This was not a good signal.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to stir up hatred. If Yoona had been smarter, she should have coaxed Li Eunxi into not being too happy.

After all, all you have to do is scold him along with him. It’s impossible that Yoona doesn’t have similar vocabulary accumulation, right?

However, the appearance of the people around him reassured Li Menglong a lot, because if the problem was not solved, they would not be able to come down to eat.

This contradictory scene was quickly solved: "She said she shouldn't eat too greasy food early in the morning, so I went to buy her a bowl of white porridge later."

Yoona was not polite when she spoke. She grabbed a chicken drumstick and gnawed it.

Li Menglong himself was not the only one who was hungry. She, Lin Yoona, had experienced the same thing and was even doubly frightened.

She needs energy replenishment more than Li Menglong now, but is she too casual?

Even ordinary people like Lee Eun-hee know how to control their diet. As an artist, Yoona eats fried chicken openly?

And she just ate it by herself. Why did she bring the people around her with her and act like she was treating them? This was ordered by Li Menglong himself!

"Hey, are you saying this against your will? Did you pay for it yourself? If you say that, I won't help you pay the bill."

Yoona said with great certainty. Even though she didn't have any advance information, her understanding of Li Menglong was enough to make this initial judgment.

This is what he does on weekdays. In this situation today, will he pay for it himself?

Yoona raised her eyebrows and signaled Li Menglong to respond quickly. Should she eat or not eat next?

What could Li Menglong say? In front of everyone, he really had the urge to fight for his breath.

If the fried chicken had been at the original price, he might have really become jealous. Unfortunately, the price was too scary.

It's okay to let Yoona be the one being taken advantage of, but if he were to do it himself, he would never agree.

In this case, what else was there to say? Li Menglong lowered his head silently and allowed all kinds of teasing from this group of people.

As for the heat issue that he was worried about, he didn't need to worry about that.

Yoona has been in the industry for so many years, she is already a qualified artist and can carry out moderate self-management.

Didn't she know that fried chicken was high in calories, but she was too hungry. Besides, she only ate one chicken leg and didn't dare to eat more.

After pacifying her stomach, she would go up and have porridge with Li Enxi later.

Although they had eased their relationship in front of each other before, the cracks still needed to be mended, and she, Lin Yoona, wanted to flatter her.

Thinking about it this way, there is still some pressure. If Li Menglong wants to accompany her, she can pay a lot of money!

"Tch, I don't earn any money, you underestimate me!"

Li Menglong tried to regain some of his lost image through these words, but the proprietress who was watching the excitement showed a sneer.

How could Li Menglong have the nerve to say such a thing? He had just made a lot of dirty money!

But what kind of shame does Li Menglong have? Naturally, he doesn't care about such ridicule. Besides, he didn't get any kickbacks, so he has a clear conscience!

If I have to say it, it's because the proprietress is too evil. Does he, a "simple" customer, have any responsibility?

Because the information was not so smooth, Yoona didn't understand much about the interaction between the two people, but this was not her focus.

Signing for everyone to order their own meals, Yoona generously handed over the card without even intending to check the amount.

Even if the final price was distorted, Yoona still had no reaction.

To put it arrogantly, it is difficult for such a small amount of money to touch her nerves, not to mention that she has more worrying things now.

She only reluctantly comforted Li Enxi, but the problem that the group of people had gathered together had not been fundamentally resolved.

Fortunately, everyone has not forgotten this. Since there is no one in the store now, they discuss the follow-up plan while eating fried chicken.

In fact, there are only so many ways, and there is no too innovative response.

Just handle the scandal as usual. Say hello directly to the media you are familiar with. If you can barely communicate, give some money. If the report goes too far, send a warning letter from a lawyer.

If this still can't suppress the popularity, you can also consider releasing some other news to confuse the public.

In short, there are many methods, but behind these methods are money!

Yoona really realized how big of a mistake she had made, but it was the kind of thing that could be directly measured by numbers.

This number is not that exaggerated. Otherwise, she gave the money herself?
