Chapter 92: The Consequences of Going Viral!
Qi Yun was truly gone viral!
And not just him. Even Qingxue has become famous along with him.
When Wang Shang arrived, he immediately made Qi Yun go online. There was a computer in Qi Yuns house. He remembered that his dad had it installed when he was in junior high. It was placed in his dads bedroom.
At first, Qi Yun used it to read novels and play games, but later, he lost interest in it.
The specifications were too low, and it couldnt handle games. The only game it could handle was the online chess Qi Yuns dad was addicted to.
Qi Yun had discovered a new paradise the internet cafe. He opened his dads computer again and, surprisingly. There was a pop-up window when it started, claiming that this old computer had outperformed 60% of users nationwide!
Brother, it took you a full two minutes to boot up!
He clicked a few times on the homepage, and a video streaming website appeared.
Potato Network, this was the tears of the times.
On the homepage, there was a video of Qi Yun. He had a confident expression and looked quite handsome.
The title was eye-catching: Finishing the Exam Early Just to Meet His Girlfriend, Young Man Becomes Provincial Top Scorer!
Qi Yun understood when he opened it.
It was Shen Qius interview video, including the two encounters with Qi Yun during the college entrance examination and the accidental encounter when interviewing the top scorer.
There was even a logo of the provincial television station above the video. The provincial TV station edited these three interviews together.
Qi Yun didnt know that the provincial TV station was also scratching its head.
It would be a waste of such good material if they didnt broadcast it!
But if they did broadcast it, Qi Yuns move was too brilliant, and the provincial TV station felt like they were losing out. They wanted Qi Yun to pay for advertising.
In the end, they bit the bullet and aired it.
After all, Qi Yun had advertised, and they had ratings, right?
The video went viral on the provincial TV station and the internet. Qi Yun looked at the views under the video and was surprised to see that it had already reached one million.
The comments were also numerous. The highest-rated comment said, This video made me laugh so hard that I almost cried!
There were tens of thousands of likes. There were also many silly netizens.
My mom told me that early love hinders studying. I showed her this video, and shes already looking for a child bride for me.
Finishing the exam 30 minutes early and still becoming the top scorer? The gap between people is greater than between humans and dogs.
Top scorer, I can let it go, but the girl, you must hand her over!
I want to ask my fellow exam takers, whats the size of the shadow in your heart?
Qi Yun found it quite amusing to read.
Qi Yun, youve gone viral, right?
Qi Yun shook his head and closed the webpage. These internet events usually blow over in a few days. It doesnt have much impact.
Having experienced the futures numerous hot topics, Qi Yun understood that a week on the internet was almost equivalent to a century.
After a few days, no one would pay attention to these hot topics anymore.
He didnt really mind.
But Qi Yun soon got proven wrong.
Boss! So many people! The milk tea shop is packed with people! Xiao Yue was shouting excitedly over the phone.
Feeling a sense of fear, as if being surrounded by zombies. Qi Yun hurried to the milk tea shop. There were no zombies.
But there were indeed a lot of people!
Looking up, it was people everywhere!
Qi Yun felt he had arrived at a tourist attraction during a holiday.
Not only was the shop filled with customers, the line to order milk tea extended to the end of the street.
Qi Yun squeezed through the crowd for a long time before finally reaching Xiao Yues side.
At this time, Xiao Yues hands were already a blur from busyness.
Whats going on? He asked Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yues expression was on the verge of tears. How would I know? They all say they want to buy the Top Scorer Milk Tea! Since 9 in the morning, the shop has been packed, and its only getting busier!
Qi Yun glanced at the other employees. Fortunately, they were preparing to open a branch in the capital.
So the number of employees in the Spring City shop was actually double what they needed. They were busy, but they didnt neglect the customers.
The problem was that they didnt have enough equipment in the milk tea shop and couldnt meet the demand.
Do we still have enough raw materials? Asked Qi Yun.
Xiao Yue shook her head. I calculated it. We can make a hundred more cups at most!
Qi Yun pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Yue, Hurry up and have them write a hundred order numbers and give them to the customers in line. Let those after the hundred know they dont have to wait.
He had taken a quick look. The number of people in line was definitely over a hundred. If they waited until they reached the front and said they ran out of ingredients, Qi Yun couldnt imagine what would happen.
Xiao Yue was on the verge of tears as she heard this. She was too busy and hadnt thought of this matter.
As expected, the people behind left after the numbered orders were handed out.
Some of them werent very satisfied. But the staff could only persuade them with a good attitude.
With fewer people, the busyness continued.
Qi Yun arrived, and Qingxue also hurried over. The two of them and all the employees in the shop were busy for over an hour before finally selling out all the ingredients.
Fortunately, they had sold out. Otherwise, Qi Yun didnt know what time they would be able to close today.
Qingxue collapsed into a chair, her limbs spread out, her forehead covered in sweat.
The shop was air-conditioned, but they were all sweating.
Do we need to order more ingredients from the factory tomorrow if we run out today? She asked Qi Yun.
With the factory in the provincial capital, it was convenient for them to order ingredients. If Qingxue called the factory now, they could produce and deliver the ingredients by noon tomorrow. It wouldnt cause any delays.
Qi Yun glanced at Xiao Yue and the others, who were exhausted.
He shook his head.
No need. We might have enough ingredients, but our staff cant handle it anymore. If there are still many customers tomorrow, well start giving out numbered orders from the beginning and inform them when we run out.
Having a booming business was a good thing. But Qi Yun didnt want to overwork Xiao Yue and the others.
Indeed, when Xiao Yue and the others heard this, they all sighed in relief.
Qingxue nodded. Suddenly, she became energized.
How much did we sell today?
They had ordered a significant amount of ingredients and sold out in one day.
It made Qingxue excited.
Qi Yun was curious too. They calculated and couldnt help but be a bit stunned.
In one day, they sold over a thousand cups of milk tea.
The revenue was close to 15,000 yuan. The net profit would be around 6,000 yuan if they deducted the cost, almost three times their usual business.
Qi Yun calculated that with 6,000 yuan a day, their net profit would be around 180,000-190,000 per month.
In a place like Spring City, they unexpectedly had such good business, and Qi Yun couldnt figure it out.
Do you know why the business is booming today? He didnt expect Qingxue to know.
Qingxue nodded. I asked, and many customers are parents who saw the news on the provincial TV station and brought their children here. Some of them are kids who saw the video online and came over. Our shop even has a nickname now, the Top Scorer Milk Tea.'
Qi Yun understood. He had underestimated the power of the provincial TV station. The younger generation might not watch it, but many parents of that age group like to watch it.
Coupled with the phrase Top Scorer, it was not surprising that the business had exploded.
Qi Yun calculated for a moment. The sudden influx of customers would likely taper off in a few days.
However, Snow Tea had gained a good reputation for its service and quality and had a decent number of returning customers.
Even if some customers who joined in for the novelty factor left, their daily profits would still exceed 4,000 yuan. It was a significant improvement compared to before.
If the shop in Spring City is already like this, what about the one in the capital?
Qi Yun stroked his chin and felt he could expect a pleasant surprise.
Indeed, in the evening, Lin Lin called him.
Boss! We sold over 30,000 today!
Qi Yun was astonished.
Unsurprisingly, the business was booming in Spring City, his stronghold.
But the business in the capital was also this good?
To be twice as much as Spring City?
At this point, Qi Yun even thought about giving the provincial TV station a plaque.
This advertisement was truly valuable!
He felt embarrassed, especially since it didnt cost them anything!
Lin Lin was ecstatic on her end too.
The earnings met Qi Yuns performance requirements. It meant she would receive a 10% profit share from the capital store next month.
With the current income, Lin Lin realized she could earn around 20,000 yuan in monthly profit!
20,000 yuan!
She could stay at the Hilton for twenty days!
The explosion of the milk tea shop was almost entirely due to the news from the provincial TV station.
Qi Yun didnt expect this video to bring even more than a pleasant surprise. In the capital city, there was a small and elegant quadrangle courtyard.
Professor Wu, who had come to recruit students for the Qi family, arrived at this residence.
Old Lian, I have some news for you, dont get too excited!
The owner of this residence was about the same age as Professor Wu, but he appeared much older.
Although he moved freely, every strand of his hair had turned white, and his face carried a sense of desolation.
When he heard Professor Wus words, he merely raised his eyes, showing almost no emotional response.
I may have met your granddaughter! Professor Wu spoke up.
Bang!
The teacup in the old mans hand shattered into pieces.
What did you say? He didnt resemble an old man as he grabbed Professor Wus collar.
Didnt I tell you not to get too excited! Professor Wu couldnt break free and hurriedly spoke, I just think its possible! That girl resembles your daughter when she was young.
The old man calmed down at this moment, and the anticipation on his face also receded.
After all, they had experienced too many false hopes over the years.
Professor Wu also relaxed a bit, fearing for his life. Like a heavyweight figure in the capitals university, this old man wouldnt let him off if something went wrong.
Can you tell me the details? The old man restrained himself a bit but was still eager.
Professor Wu was his old colleague. He wouldnt have come to say this if he didnt have some certainty.
