At this moment, seeing the chaos in front of the door and that Xu Zhengyang was standing in the middle, Cheng Baola immediately knew something had gone wrong and ran over quickly.
As she got closer, she saw the dead dog on the car's hood.
She gasped in shock.
She directly asked Xu Zhengyang:
"Freeloader, what happened?"
"Freeloader" was one of the nicknames she used for Xu Zhengyang.
However, upon realizing that Cheng Baola knew Xu Zhengyang, YOYO and Yang Yang immediately perked up.
"You know him!?"
Yang Yang sneered.
"He's the real owner of this restaurant! What are you two doing here?"
Cheng Baola saw the blood on YOYO's face and probably guessed what was happening.
YOYO and Yang Yang smirked, feeling they had the upper hand now.
It was as if they had turned the tables and won.
"It's nothing! Hmph! Your boss is making me kneel and apologize to others right now!"
YOYO said angrily.
"I really can't believe this. I thought you were some big shot. The owner of this place, huh?
I'm laughing my ass off. You just happened to offend someone you couldn't afford to offend, didn't you?"
Yang Yang seemed to have finally seized Xu Zhengyang's weak spot.
In his view, Cheng Baola's restaurant was about to open, and they had hired them, two influencers, for reviews to help with publicity.
And now? The other owner had dared to offend them severely.
This was a perfect opportunity for revenge!
They could boast about this to their friends for a long time!
"You two…"
Xu Zhengyang smiled淡淡 and said to them.
But before he could finish, YOYO abruptly interrupted him.
"Did you invite them to promote our restaurant?"
Xu Zhengyang looked at Cheng Baola with a half-smile.
Cheng Baola's heart sank. She didn't know what was going on, but she could tell that Xu Zhengyang was definitely in conflict with them.
She also didn't know how to explain.
"Promote? Haha, just wait for the restaurant to close down!"
YOYO seemed to be extremely satisfied with the opportunity to retaliate.
Xu Zhengyang was clearly falling right into their hands.
"Still thinking about promotion? How laughable. If I don't make you lose your reputation, then I don't deserve the name Cheng!"
Yang Yang also shouted angrily.
Xu Zhengyang completely ignored them and said to Cheng Baola:
"Didn't I give you the money to find influencers with over a million followers?
You found two with just forty or fifty thousand followers? Is this considered an influencer??
And look at their behavior!
And their quality, letting a dog bite someone and even kicking a pregnant woman to the ground—do they even deserve it?"
Xu Zhengyang asked repeatedly.
By the end, Cheng Baola's face changed color.
What? Kicking a pregnant woman to the ground? What's going on?
She was just afraid that Xu Zhengyang would accuse her of wasting money, but with a new restaurant in such a deep location, she needed some publicity, so she hired two small influencers.
She didn't expect them to be like this, and indeed, she had been negligent in not understanding them beforehand.
Hearing Xu Zhengyang's words, Yang Yang and YOYO were gritting their teeth in anger.
"Great! So full of yourself, looking down on us, huh?"
Yang Yang sneered and nodded repeatedly.
He had an expression that said, "Just wait and see how I make your life miserable."
"You think you're so great, huh? Not satisfied?"
Xu Zhengyang looked at him and asked with a sneer.
"With trash like you two, you're not even fit to lick shoes in front of my restaurant! And you want to do a review!
How many dishes have you ruined?"
"Ha, very good! You're tough, so why don't you let us leave and see if your restaurant can even open?"
Yang Yang said coldly.
Given Xu Zhengyang's skills earlier, they definitely couldn't afford to lose face now. Their phones had been smashed, and they couldn't seek help.
They couldn't even call the police, nor could they report it.
This issue could only be dealt with later after they went back.
"You can leave now."
Xu Zhengyang smiled slightly and made a gesture for them to leave.
YOYO angrily dragged the dead fox dog from the car and threw it inside the vehicle, glaring at Xu Zhengyang with venom.
"You're dead meat!"
She said fiercely before getting in the car.
Watching them leave, the onlookers quickly dispersed. There weren't many people around to begin with, and those who saw the fight kept their distance. They hadn't really seen the whole situation—just the commotion.
After they left, Cheng Baola anxiously asked what happened.
Xu Zhengyang explained the situation. Cheng Baola was so furious she jumped up and cursed at the two of them for being so despicable.
"Why did you just let them go? We should have called the police and exposed them!"
Cheng Baola said indignantly.
"Calling the police would be too lenient for them. If we expose them now, they would definitely be hidden by the platform. The matter would be suppressed, and it wouldn't make much of a splash. That wouldn't be much fun. I said I wanted them to regret it for a lifetime, and one must keep their promises."
Xu Zhengyang said with a sinister smile.
"Humph, always playing games!"
Cheng Baola gave him a punch and looked at him with a displeased expression, feeling wronged.
"What about our restaurant?"
"Just open as usual."
"You have another bad idea, don't you? Then let's switch to offline advertising. I'll print some DM flyers?"
"That's too low!"
"Huh? Then should we really find influencers with over a million followers? I'm already feeling frustrated."
Cheng Baola pouted. She wasn't very good at this, and the events of the day had left her somewhat discouraged.
"I see your little brain must be overheated! Don't you have a ready-made top influencer right beside you?"
Xu Zhengyang said, poking her head with a smirk.
Cheng Baola was taken aback, looking at Xu Zhengyang and asking:
"Me?"
"Tang Ying!!"
Xu Zhengyang directly pointed it out, exasperated at how slow she was to catch on.
"The Queen of the Three Stations' Fashion Show isn't just a name. She's a regular on fashion magazine covers in neighboring provinces and is reportedly quite well-known in the circle."
"Ah? Sister Tang? As far as I know, Sister Tang doesn't do short videos. Wouldn't people think it's beneath her to become an influencer? If we specifically ask her to open a channel for us to promote, would she agree? No, no…"
Cheng Baola shook her head vigorously.
Although she had seen Tang Ying listen to Xu Zhengyang, she wasn't going to let Xu Zhengyang force her into it.
Xu Zhengyang rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Think again!"
"Ah? Think again?"
Seeing Xu Zhengyang looking at her as if she were a fool, Cheng Baola's mind started working.
After a while, she suddenly jumped up, slapped Xu Zhengyang, and said excitedly:
"I got it! We can start our own short video account and then invite Sister Tang and the others to come and dine with us!"
Xu Zhengyang laughed: "Sure~~"
He drew out the word "sure" for a long time.
Cheng Baola punched him playfully, knowing Xu Zhengyang had originally meant that. He was just making fun of her slow reaction.
Xu Zhengyang continued:
"Not only Tang Ying, but also Chen Haohai and Chen Chusheng—you can ask them all. Chen Chusheng even has an entertainment company with many influencers and celebrities. Isn't that enough for you?
Although they're not first-tier, at least they have second or third-tier influencers with several hundred million followers.
In the future, have them come to the restaurant to check in.
And the short video platform Dougua, which is in opposition to Fast Bean, is under Chen Chusheng's management. Its user base is growing, though it's not as large as Fast Bean yet. I've checked its prospects. It will definitely become popular. You can mainly promote on that platform."
Xu Zhengyang spoke earnestly, and Cheng Baola's face flushed with excitement.
She had met Tang Ying, Chen Haohai, and Chen Chusheng before, but they weren't familiar with each other. Cheng Baola didn't understand Xu Zhengyang's relationships with them.
After all, Xu Zhengyang was just a feng shui master, and she didn't know how influential his words could be.
"Do you think I'm a complete idiot~~"
Cheng Baola said, pretending to threaten Xu Zhengyang by pinching his neck.
"Be confident and take out the 'like' part."
