Universe Infinite Canteen

The afternoon after the live broadcast, Malu was watching the store while surfing the Internet intensively to read cool articles.

He liked every post of Tang Rijie, Magic Sea Lion and Meiping.com, and was enjoying it when his phone rang.

Malu picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

But this is quite normal. After all, he now runs a restaurant and many calls come in every day, either asking about the dishes, or wanting to make reservations, and seeing the large traffic of the Universe Infinite Canteen, they want to discuss cooperation.

Because of the previous live broadcast, Malu’s new account on Bilibili now has 30,000 fans. Just now, an MCN company called to sign him, but he was rejected.

And this time, Malu simply hung up the phone, but the other party was very persistent and called again half a minute later.

Malu hung up again, and the other party called again.

This time Malu finally got through, and a woman's voice came from the other end, "Boss Ma."

"Hmm?"

"Hello, I'm Zhu Chen, the marketing director of Meiping.com. You can also call me Jane. I think the live broadcast on the 16th..."

Zhu Chen had just said halfway when he found a busy tone on the other end.

Hang up again? Zhu Chen frowned, and she called again, but the line was busy this time.

Zhu Chen waited for 3 minutes and called again, but the line was still busy.

On the other side, after blocking Zhu Chen, Malu continued to brush the comment area with great interest.

It can only be said that the situation changes. Previously, netizens put the anchors who praised the Universe Infinite Canteen on a lightning avoidance list. Now it is the turn of the magic sea lion and other anchors who attacked the Universe Infinite Canteen to enjoy this treatment.

And the ghost animal area did not miss this wave of popularity. The enthusiasm for creation was high, and Tang Rijie's first batch of ghost animal videos were quickly launched.

The most popular one was an electronic rap song called "Soul". Ma Lu listened to it and shook his legs. He had played it seven or eight times.

But the next moment, he heard that familiar voice again.

"Boss Ma."

Ma Lu almost thought that the phone had grown up and could answer the phone by itself.

Until he glanced at the phone on the table and found that it was still there quietly, and the screen was black, he looked up.

He saw a professional woman who was about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a suit, with short hair, and dressed very capablely standing in front of the counter.

The latter stretched out his hand to him, "Hello, Boss Ma, I am Zhu Chen who you hung up and blocked before."

"Hey, look at what you said, Boss Zhu, my phone just ran out of power." As Ma Lu was speaking, the screen of the phone lit up again, and it was a WeChat notification.

Ma Lu quickly put the phone back into his pocket, and then shook hands with Zhu Chen, who was also calm, as if he didn't see what happened just now.

After shaking hands, he continued, "Boss Ma, do you have a place to talk about things?"

"No."

"…………"

"Don't get me wrong, I really don't have one. This is just a small restaurant, not a big company. There is no meeting room, not even a private room."

"What about the kitchen?"

"The kitchen is Lao Wang's territory. He doesn't allow anyone other than Youyou and me to go in. If you have something to say, just tell me directly."

After a long silence, Zhu Chen said, "Okay, I watched your live broadcast yesterday. I can understand your anger, Boss Ma, but I still want to say that the company was not aware of what happened before."

When Zhu Chen said this, she was ready to be refuted or even ridiculed by Ma Lu, but she didn't expect Ma Lu nodded, "I know."

"Ah?"

"Your company and I have no grudges, nor are we competitors. Attacking my restaurant won't make your financial statements look good, so I'm willing to believe that this is just a personal act."

"Great." Zhu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "Before coming here, I was wondering if you, Boss Ma, would be difficult to talk to. I didn't expect you to be so reasonable."

"But..." Ma Lu changed the subject, "That guy did use the power of your company to mobilize those food bloggers to attack me and my restaurant, and caused damage.

"If there hadn't been yesterday's live broadcast, and if Teacher Tang had a change of heart, my business might have plummeted because of this incident."

This kind of thing is of course impossible, but negotiations are like this. When calculating, you must report your own losses as high as possible.

"This... is true. "

Zhu Chen was very honest. It might be because Meiping.com is a big company, so Zhu Chen was too lazy to bother with Malu on these details.

Besides, they were in a restaurant now, surrounded by people. Malu saw from the corner of his eye that the ears of the diners at the two tables next to him were almost as erect as rabbits.

Zhu Chen paused, and then said, "Anyway, I came here hoping to discuss with Boss Ma a solution that both of us can be satisfied with."

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. Our company hopes to clarify the truth of the matter with Boss Ma."

Malu did not comment.

Zhu Chen said sincerely, "The management really didn't know about this matter. After receiving the news, the company immediately launched a self-examination and has now found the employees involved.

"But you have also seen the public opinion on the Internet now. Even if we issue an announcement, netizens will only think that we are just pushing someone out to take the blame after the matter is exposed.

"So only if Boss Ma cooperates with us and we work together can we make the truth public."

"But if Mr. Tang hadn't come out and exposed himself, and my restaurant was framed, and I went to your Meiping.com to help investigate and clarify, would you cooperate with me?" Malu asked back.

Zhu Chen was stunned when she heard this. She wanted to say yes, but she also knew the style of big companies. She was in charge of the marketing department. It was almost impossible for a small restaurant like Malu to ask Meiping to cooperate with public relations.

Meiping would not launch an investigation into employees within the company because of some unfounded rumors.

So Zhu Chen could only say, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, I just want to tell you that since you have no obligation to clarify for me when my restaurant is maliciously attacked, then I have no obligation either."

"I understand." Zhu Chen nodded, "I came here this time to discuss with you, Boss Ma, a solution that both of us can accept.

"For the losses caused to you and your store by this incident, our company is willing to pay 2 million yuan in compensation. "

Malu blinked his eyes. Two million is not a small amount, but his weekly turnover is nearly one million now. This amount is equivalent to the restaurant's income for half a month.

Zhu Chen continued, "The company will organize professionals to strictly follow the standards of Meiping.com to score the Universe Infinite Canteen. And immediately dismiss the employees involved."

"That's good."

Malu didn't come to his senses until he heard the last half of the sentence. When he thought about some people who worked hard to study abroad and finally found a job they wanted, Malu felt happy.

Zhu Chen continued, "I will also order him to apologize to you, Boss Ma, in person."
