I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 256: Gloating Over Others’ Misfortune
Just after hanging up the phone, Qin Yun’s phone rang again.
"Hello!"
"Qin Yun, something happened at the hot pot restaurant!" As soon as the call connected, Yu Leyao’s anxious voice came through.
"Class monitor, don’t worry, take your time and tell me." Hearing what she said, Qin Yun’s expression immediately turned serious, and he asked.
After listening to what Yu Leyao said, Qin Yun also learned what happened at the hot pot restaurant.
Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant was bustling with business, with many people coming and going, but previously, a table of customers had eaten hot pot and suddenly vomited badly.
Afterwards, someone called the police, saying there were food safety issues at Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant.
The police arrived, and then people from the Commerce Bureau also came.
In a short period of time, the faces of other customers in the hot pot restaurant changed dramatically, and many tables demanded refunds and then requested inspections of the hot pot base to see if there were any safety hazards.
Food safety is always the most important and the most prone to problems in the catering industry.
This was one of the main reasons why Qin Yun first chose the clothing industry and not the catering industry.
Knowing about this incident, Qin Yun did not go elsewhere; he drove directly to Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant.
The store, which used to be extremely bustling, was now very desolate, with things posted on the door prohibiting business operations, etc.
Obviously, after the incident, the hot pot restaurant couldn’t continue operating and needed to be rectified, at least to be closed for a period of time until the inspection results were out.
At this time, Hu Congrong and others were inside the store, each with a worried look on their face.
"Qin Yun."
Seeing Qin Yun arrive, Yu Leyao quickly went up to greet him.
"How is the situation in the store now?" Qin Yun asked.
Yu Leyao shook her head and said: "The hot pot base has been taken for inspection, and the vomited customer has been sent to the hospital for examination. The symptoms are like a cold, so the problem should not be big."
They are sure of the condition in their store; there should not be any safety issues.
Even so, several people still looked very worried.
"I think the person who called the police did it on purpose," Wei Xin said in a low voice.
It was originally a small issue, but with calls to the police and the Commerce Bureau, it seemed like someone was intentionally blowing the matter up.
Looking at the current situation, even if there was no problem, deliberately, everyone’s impression of Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant would greatly decrease.
In a hot pot restaurant, any small issue can escalate into a major crisis.
"Whether it’s intentional or not is hard to say; solving the problem now is the most important thing," said the manager, Hu Congrong.
"We’ll wait first for the inspection result of the hot pot base to come out."
After discussing for a while, they could only wait.
However, during this waiting time, the hot pot restaurant couldn’t be opened.
"Senior Sister Hu, a lot of negative comments are appearing on our Douyin account!"
As they were talking, Lin Yu suddenly said anxiously.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they all opened their phones.
Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant also set up an account on Douyin, updating the restaurant’s status to better attract customers.
After consuming at the store, they could follow the Douyin Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant account for discounts, and periodically select followers to give gifts.
This helps in cultivating regular customers.
Celestial Fortune Clothing has also registered an account on Douyin.
Upon opening the video page, there were indeed a large number of negative comments.
"This Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant isn’t safe, someone actually got sick from eating there."
"It’s normal, last time I ate there and got diarrhea when I got home, but didn’t bother to take it seriously, and never went again."
"So scary, everyone should stop going to Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant from now on."
Some accounts were commenting as if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Although it’s easy to see that it’s internet trolling, many people would rather take a believing stance.
Wei Xin looked at a few people and said, "I told you someone was targeting us!"
Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant’s business had been thriving recently, so it’s normal for it to attract envy.
Hu Congrong said, "I’ll contact the police and explain the situation. If the inspection results are safe, we should investigate who is engaging in malicious competition."
After discussing for a bit, they finally each went back.
"Qin Yun, what do we do now?" Yu Leyao displayed some anxiety in front of Qin Yun; though she was a bit capable, it was her first time facing such a situation.
"Don’t worry, everyone is working on solving the problem," Qin Yun comforted her.
The two returned to the class.
As soon as they returned, many people surrounded them.
The people in the class were also aware of the situation at Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant and surrounded them to ask.
"Class monitor, Qin Yun, how’s the hot pot restaurant?"
"I saw lots of negative comments in the Douyin comment section."
"Did someone get food poisoning?"
"Is the hot pot restaurant still open? I was planning to go tonight."
These people asked with concern.
Listening to everyone’s questions, Qin Yun replied: "The hot pot restaurant is closed temporarily for two days and will reopen after that."
After a brief explanation, Qin Yun didn’t say much more.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but even so, they were still discussing.
"Oh, the class monitor and Qin Yun’s hot pot restaurant previously made so much money, it was always packed, how did it suddenly have a problem."
"Problems are common in the catering industry."
"I wonder when they can open again."
These people sighed.
Whether they were genuinely concerned or had other thoughts, it was unknown.
In this world, there are those who wish you well, but more who hope to see your downfall.
Being in the same class, with Qin Yun and Yu Leyao earning so much from their restaurant, they would undoubtedly feel a mix of admiration and envy.
Now seeing a problem has arisen, some people probably feel some schadenfreude.
However, in the dormitory, Zhao Kanghao and Li Hanyu were comforting Qin Yun.
"Qin Yun, how is the situation turning out? If you need any help, just say the word," they both offered.
Even Liu Xin, who usually didn’t talk much, asked Qin Yun if he needed any assistance.
Qin Yun smiled and thanked them.
They genuinely intended to help Qin Yun, but Cheng Daxiong and Zhou Pang still didn’t talk to Qin Yun.
"It’s surprising that Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant encountered an issue; I’m a bit worried about the milk tea shop," Cheng Daxiong said.
In his heart, he felt a bit of schadenfreude; wasn’t Qin Yun acting superior, looking down on the milk tea shop I opened, but now the hot pot restaurant he invested over 400,000 yuan in had a problem.
Though there was a trace of schadenfreude, he was more worried about his soon-to-open milk tea shop.
If the hot pot restaurant had a problem, would their milk tea shop have problems too?
Zhou Pang retorted, "Don’t worry; our milk tea shop isn’t big, and all processes are transparent, so how can there be any issues?"
He was very confident in his heart.
Their milk tea shop was set to open tomorrow.
