Chapter 489 Can’t Surrender (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)


    "..."


    The two diners at the table who were suspected of being employed by Meiping.com didn’t know what to say for a moment.


    "Anyway, if you see the boss of Meiping.com, please give him a message to tell the puppies he raises to stay away from my restaurant.


    "Of course, since you have nothing to do with Meiping.com, just forget about this. I wish you both a happy meal."


    After Ma Lu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back to the counter, but the voice of the female diner came from behind him again.


    "are you sure?"


    "Sure what?"


    "As a restaurant owner, are you sure you want to challenge the most popular food review website among young people with 80 million active users? What good does this do to you?"


    Malu stopped and asked, "Is this a threat?"


    "No, just take it as an advice from a colleague."


    "But there is a guy in this company, which has 80 million active users and is the most popular among young people, that makes me very unhappy." Ma Lu said.


    …


    "Is that what the guy said? He said there are people he doesn''t like here?"


    Mike''s face was gloomy. He thought of the last time he revised the manuscript submitted by Yu Yizhuo and added a few words at the end to attract traffic to the hotel.


    Mike felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did. At that time, Ma Lu was just a young man with flexible employment who shamelessly set up a street stall in front of the school. He was just lucky and reaped the dividends of a wave of short videos.


    Mike has seen too many such Internet celebrity stalls and Internet celebrity stores. They are basically short-lived ghosts. They can only be popular for a while and then die immediately after the popularity passes.


    So Mike was not worried about offending Ma Lu at that time. What he was thinking about was how to use this wave of traffic to attract traffic to Meiping.com and customers who advertised on Meiping.com.


    Meiping.com rates restaurants, not food stalls, so Mike naturally encourages readers to pay more attention to restaurants at the end of his article.


    Yu Yizhu came to him to protest several times later. Mike initially wanted to use this incident to teach her how to do things. However, Yu Yizhu was disobedient and he got annoyed later and marginalized Yu Yizhu in the group. .


    But then Mike remembered that Yu Yizhu and Ma Lu seemed to be schoolmates, so he probably told Ma Lu about this, and he was jealous of Ma Lu because of it.


    Of course, under normal circumstances, this is okay. Meiping.com has the right to judge restaurants. Their ratings can make a little-known restaurant become famous overnight, and can also make those century-old restaurants empty.


    For those restaurant owners, Meiping.com is like God, taking life and death from them.


    Even if Malu''s food stall survives and becomes a store in the future, the next step will be nothing more than a drama of meeting each other and letting go of grudges.


    After all, doing business is not just hanging out on the streets. It is about peace and harmony, making more friends and fewer enemies.


    It''s just that Mike didn''t expect someone to play cards completely out of common sense.


    How dare that guy dare? His store has only been open for a long time, but he is so rampant. Is he crazy if he dares to challenge Meiping.com?


    However, Mike didn''t know whether Malu was crazy or not, but he was about to go crazy.


    Because the Universe Infinite Canteen is so famous, it has become so popular that even the top executives of the company have heard about it.


    I held a meeting all night to include it in the food map of the website. According to past practice, the company will send at least three food observers to the target stores to dine anonymously and give ratings.


    Later, the media operations department responsible for content will also issue an exclusive interview.


    This exclusive interview now falls on Mike''s team, and the reason is very simple, because they have previously published an interview with the number one food stall in the universe.


    The boss may think that they are familiar with Ma Lu, so the new interview is handed over to them.


    But the problem was that the last interview made them unhappy.


    Mike asked his colleagues in the next department for help. He asked for the phone number of an observer who participated in the scoring this time. He wanted to understand Ma Lu''s attitude first, but when he called, he heard the bad news.


    It seemed that the guy was quite vindictive and directly called the two observers who went this time the lackeys of the American Review Network.


    When Mike heard what he said, he knew that the interview was probably out of the question. People who had nothing to do with it were being scolded so badly. He, the culprit, had to show up first, and maybe he would just go full martial arts.


    It is obviously not possible to leave it to other people in the team. Ma Lu is now very resistant to everyone who has anything to do with Meiping.com.


    Mike then thought of Yu Yizhu again, but he had already talked to Yu Yizhu. This time, Yu Yizhu''s attitude was particularly firm and he disagreed life and death.


    He also said that the relationship between the two was very ordinary and they no longer interacted with each other.


    Mike didn''t believe this nonsense at all and felt that Yu Yizhuo just wanted to see his joke.


    Are you kidding? If their relationship was normal, why did Ma Lu agree to an interview last time and why he hated him so much now? It was obviously Yu Yizhuo''s rumor.


    But he is a little helpless now. After he marginalized Yu Yizhu, Yu Yizhu didn''t panic this time. He seemed to have prepared for the worst.


    After completing her work conscientiously every day and going to and from get off work on time, Mike asked a few colleagues with whom she had good relationships to inquire privately. It seemed that Yu Yizhuo had already started submitting resumes and looking for a new job.


    However, Mike just hopes that Yu Yizhuo will yield to him and obey his words, and does not really want to drive her away.


    So it''s up to Mike to figure this out.


    He said to the food observer on the other end of the phone, "Chef Wang, that guy is so arrogant, we have to give him some color. How many points are you going to give him this time?"


    Chef Wang was silent for a while and then said, "It''s 4.7 points. Although the decoration is good, there is still room for improvement.


    "Also, the waiting experience is not good. The queue is too long, but to be honest, as long as you eat their food, these are not problems."


    "Ah, so high!" Mike was shocked. The rating on Meiping.com is on a 5-point scale, and it is not the 5-star rating that everyone can get from competing products. The total number of restaurants in B city with a rating of 4 or above is less than 30 Home.


    Not to mention monsters with a score of 4.5 or above.


    The most important thing is that this is the rating given by Chef Wang after Malu scolded someone. Chef Wang is not a clay sculpture, she also has her own temper.


    If someone pointed at her nose for no reason and slapped her, she would definitely deduct points as appropriate to express her anger, but after the deduction, she still had 4.7, so if she didn''t deduct it, wouldn''t it be a full score?


    Now Mike was anxious. He wanted Chef Wang to lower his score. He also had leverage to negotiate with the other side, so he asked, "Can you lower it even more?"


    Chef Wang was also a little helpless, “I can’t lower it, the food won’t lie, the food in that restaurant is indeed delicious.


    "And the reason why I agreed to be a food observer for Meiping.com was as I agreed from the beginning. I will be solely responsible for scoring and will not accept outside interference."
