Chapter 147: Framed
Because many internet celebrities approached Chen Yimin to seek cooperation, but he refused.
Although they didn't say anything, some internet celebrities naturally felt resentful.
They felt that they were very popular and famous, and being able to eat at Chen Yimin's restaurant was already an honor to him, and they also took the initiative to propose a monthly rental for filming.
But they didn't expect Chen Yimin to be unmoved and simply ignored them.
To put it bluntly, Chen Yimin looks down on these internet celebrities.
Some internet celebrities couldn't hold back their anger and posted their chat records with Chen Yimin on Weibo, which immediately attracted heated discussions among many netizens.
Of course, most people support the internet celebrity and scold Chen Yimin.
Many netizens commented under the v-blog.
【Slippery Ladder: It’s really funny. Didn’t Chen Yimin start out as a small anchor? Now that he has become a star by hooking up with Deng Ziqi, he looks down on those internet celebrities. It’s really funny.】
[The head of a family of three: Many customers came to eat at Chen Yimin’s restaurant through the introduction of those Internet celebrities. Now that the restaurant has become popular, Chen Yimin has turned his back on us. I want to ask him if he still has a conscience. ]
When those internet celebrities saw that the netizens on Weibo were so supportive of them, they became even more rampant.
At first, the comments were realistic and objective, but later they started to make up stories and exaggerate the facts.
Chen Yimin was always polite and courteous when he rejected them.
But in the mouth of this internet celebrity, it became that Eason Chan was disdainful of cooperating with them and scolded them for not being able to be on the stage.
Some internet celebrities even spread rumors, saying that the reason why Chen Yimin did not allow internet celebrities to enter their restaurant was because he was afraid that the internet celebrities would steal their limelight.
They also said that Eason Chan was trying to ride on their popularity.
Some internet celebrities who had asked Chen Yimin for cooperation but were rejected and some internet celebrities who had never had any contact with Chen Yimin at all were scolding him on v-blog.
Most people want to use this topic to become famous.
But netizens don’t know the real situation and are deceived by these internet celebrities.
What’s even funnier is that the fans of those internet celebrities are almost as good as Cai Kunkun’s fans.
Desperately defending those internet celebrities.
Many fans even went to Chen Yimin's v-blog to leave messages and curse him, and some fans went directly to Chen Yimin's restaurant and maliciously graffitied the door with red paint.
Because more and more fans are behaving maliciously.
For safety reasons and to reduce unnecessary impacts, Chen Yimin decided to suspend business for a while and take a break until the storm has passed.
There are only two hotpot restaurants in the mall. Chen Yimin’s restaurant closed, so naturally only Chen Guanhu’s restaurant was left.
Originally, he closed the store and hid for a few days because of the offense he had caused to Chen Yimin last time, but when he saw Chen Yimin closing the store, he quickly opened it again.
He even invited a lot of internet celebrities to support him.
These internet celebrities took photos and recorded videos in Chen Guanhu’s store, and then posted them on Weibo.
Of course, these internet celebrities are the same ones who scolded Evan Chan on Weibo.
They were the people hired by Chen Guanhu.
From the moment he saw Deng Ziqi coming to support Chen Yimin, Chen Guanhu felt very unwilling. Why could Chen Yimin have so many celebrity friends, but he couldn't?
Their store and Chen Yimin's store are both in the same shopping mall and occupy almost the same area. At most, Chen Yimin's location is slightly better, but why should they be surpassed by him?
With this mentality, Chen Guanhu has been looking for opportunities for revenge.
I happened to see someone on Weibo saying that Chen Yimin was stingy and didn’t allow internet celebrities to eat at their hot pot restaurant.
Chen Guanhu made up his mind.
Since he hates internet celebrities so much, he asked a group of them to seek collaboration with Evan Chan.
At that time, they could use the reason of the internet celebrity being rejected to stir up some heat on V-blog, which would not only embarrass Chen Yimin, but also make his fans resent him.
In order to make everything look natural, he also asked those internet celebrities to find Chen Yimin in their own name.
On the surface, he appears to be an internet celebrity who wants to collaborate with Eason Chan, but in fact, he is secretly being instructed by Guan-hu Chen.
Many internet celebrities know that Chen Yimin has a strong background and is not easy to mess with.
They just don't want to get involved in this matter.
But there are always some unknown internet celebrities.
They only do things for money. As long as you pay them enough, they will help you do anything you want.
Do they just hire these internet celebrities, give them a large sum of money, and ask them to spread rumors?
Chen Guanhu was very proud when he saw netizens starting to post on V-blog, but he knew that this was only the first step.
It will take time to force Chen Yimin to leave.
Since he wanted to open a hotpot restaurant, he would not give up just because of a few comments from netizens, so Chen Guanhu deliberately arranged some people to graffiti in front of Chen Yimin's door.
Everyone thought that it was the fans who deliberately made fun of Chen Yimin, but in fact it was Chen Guanhu who did it.
After all, this is a big shopping mall. How could they let fans in easily, and more than once?
As long as you think carefully, you can find clues.
Naturally, the internet celebrity also brought a lot of popularity to Chen Guanhu, and many fans came to their store to taste hot pot.
Because there was no competitive pressure from Chen Yimin, Chen Guanhu's hot pot restaurant quickly became the most popular hot pot restaurant in the mall.
There is a long queue at the door every day.
Many fans of internet celebrities travel thousands of miles to go to hot pot restaurants just to have a bite of food.
When the scalpers saw that Chen Yimin’s store was closed, they naturally ran to Chen Guanhu’s door, lined up, and resumed their old business.
But unlike Chen Yimin, Chen Guanhu ignored these scalpers.
On the contrary, he approves of this behavior.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Only when you spend more on something will you feel that it is better.
He just wants scalpers to sell the tickets to the store at high prices, so that customers will spend a lot of money to join in, so that more diners will think that their hot pot restaurant is very popular.
But the reality is different. When the customers first came in, they were full of expectations, but after eating the hot pot, they left shaking their heads.
The hotpot base ingredients in their store are all purchased from outside, and are not as delicious as the hotpot base ingredients cooked by Chen Yimin in his store.
But Chen Guanhu didn't care about it. As long as he could defeat Chen Yimin, he felt that he had won.
At the same time, Chen Yimin was also reflecting on his own problems after closing the store.
He repeatedly checked the chat records with those internet celebrities and compared them with the ones on the Internet. He found that many of the collaborations sent by the internet celebrities were the same.
Even the contracts sent by some internet celebrities are the same.
This situation is rare, after all, every artist will choose a reliable company.
It’s impossible that so many internet celebrities come from the same company.
Thinking of this, Chen Yimin decided to investigate further. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter, as if all the criticisms were deliberately directed at him.
