Chapter 765

The streamer sat proudly at the table, showing his appearance of enjoying the food in front of the camera.

He ate the roast meat in large mouthfuls, his mouth full of flavor, while his eyes were filled with a sense of self-satisfaction. When the restaurant waiter walked over, carrying a full plate of seafood and hot pot and placed it on the table, the corners of the streamer's mouth curled up slightly.

He picked up a piece of roast meat and put it into his mouth, chewing a few times before wearing an expression of satisfaction.

However, he deliberately frowned and said: "This dish is still lacking in flavor; why is it not as delicious as I imagined?"

Fang Yang's fans nearby began to show dissatisfaction after hearing the streamer's words.

They questioned the streamer one after another: "Where did you say it wasn't delicious? We have always liked the dishes recommended by Fang Yang."

They felt very puzzled by the streamer's picky attitude.

The streamer looked at these fans, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, enjoying their reaction to his words.

He answered provocatively: "You are just Fang Yang's fans; how could you possibly understand my more advanced and unique taste? I am a person who pursues the ultimate gourmet enjoyment."

The fans felt angry at the arrogance revealed in the streamer's words.

One of the fans stood up: "Who do you think you are! Fang Yang is our idol; the dishes he recommends must be delicious! You dare to say Fang Yang doesn't understand gourmet food? That's just dog shit not worth mentioning."

The streamer sneered: "You are just ignorant fans brainwashed by Fang Yang. I don't need people like you to judge my sense of taste."

His words were filled with disdain.

The scene became tense, and the surrounding customers also looked over one after another.

After all, this restaurant had always been famous for its exquisite food, and there had almost never been such an intense argument. The fans stared at the streamer with angry eyes; they didn't understand why the streamer wanted to deliberately ruin the reputation of Fang Yang's food.

They asked the streamer one after another: "Since you think Fang Yang's food is not delicious, then which restaurant do you think is delicious?"

They hoped to find a better place to eat through the streamer's answer.

The streamer was speechless for a moment because he knew very well that he had just deliberately made some false evaluations.

But facing these angry and confused fans, he had no choice but to mention a three-star restaurant in the capital.

He felt that answering this way could make himself appear to have better taste while also changing the subject.

"Hmph, even if you mention some three-star restaurant in the capital, so what? Do you think we will believe you?" a fan sneered mockingly.

The streamer smiled slightly, a flash of confidence in his eyes: "Of course it's not just something I said out of thin air. I just saw many people recommending this shop on the internet."

"Is there really such a shop? Then why have we never heard of it?" Other fans began to express doubt about the streamer's answer.

The streamer deliberately said thoughtfully: "This shop is famous for its top-tier ingredients and meticulously crafted dishes; it is a place that can truly satisfy your advanced tastes. Their dishes are not only excellent in color, aroma, and taste, but also carry a rich cultural atmosphere. Everyone who has been there has nothing but praise for them."

The fans became a little interested in the restaurant the streamer mentioned and began to discuss whether to go and try it.

"Since that's the case, why don't we go and try it? After all, we are Fang Yang's fans; we know that the things he recommends are all delicious," a fan suggested.

Others echoed: "That's right! The dishes Fang Yang recommends must be delicious! We cannot be misled by others."

Seeing this, the streamer felt somewhat smug in his heart.

He understood that the three-star capital restaurant he mentioned was just made up on the spot to appease the angry fans. After hearing the three-star capital restaurant recommended by the streamer, the fans immediately had different reactions.

Among them, a fan who called himself a "second-generation rich kid" sneered: "That kind of shop is nothing but a gimmick; I don't believe they really understand what is delicious."

Other fans began to discuss heatedly. Some questioned whether this rich kid really knew how to taste food, and others began to criticize the streamer for not knowing how to appreciate gourmet food.

"You think having money means you can eat well? Many of those so-called high-end restaurants are just bragging," a young female fan said angrily. "The simple yet mellow taste in Fang Yang's food is much better than these flashy restaurants!"

"And I've never heard of such a three-star shop in the capital," another male fan joined in. "Streamer, stop trying to fool us! As Fang Yang's fans, we believe his taste in food is definitely higher than yours."

The entire discussion became very intense, and the atmosphere was tense and explosive.

The fans launched a debate about gourmet food and taste with the live stream.

"You people are truly too narrow-minded!" the streamer snorted disdainfully. "You just blindly think his food is delicious because Fang Yang recommended it. But let me tell you, that is simply vulgar home-style cooking!"

"You are the one who is narrow-minded!" someone retorted. "Just because you come from a wealthy family, you look down on the things that we ordinary people without mountains of gold and silver like. You think only high-end restaurants count as enjoyment when eating?"

The fans' emotions were stirred up higher and higher, and they began to state their understanding of gourmet food one after another.

Some stood on the side of the rich kid, thinking the streamer was just showing off; while others felt the rich kid didn't understand what was truly delicious and only looked down on those restaurants because of his wealthy background. After hearing the streamer's questioning, Fang Yang's fans immediately searched for news about this streamer.

They discovered a piece of negative news about this streamer. The report pointed out that this streamer had always been a streamer who did things for money.

As long as he received money, no matter the quality of the food, he would say it was delicious; conversely, if he didn't receive money, even if the food was very delicious, he would say it was unhealthy.

When Fang Yang's fans saw these reports, they felt very angry.

They felt they had been deceived by this streamer, and their trust in the streamer was severely impacted.

"How can we trust a streamer who doesn't treat gourmet food and the audience with sincerity at all?" a fan asked angrily.

"That's right! We always thought he was a person with unique taste and appreciation for gourmet food, but now it seems we were completely deceived!" another fan responded angrily.

As more fans discovered this report, they began to unite, launching a condemnation campaign online and boycotting the streamer's program.

For a time, the streamer's program became the center of a public opinion storm.

"We cannot let such fraudulent behavior continue to exist!" a fan said resolutely.

"We should let more people know the true colors of this streamer! Don't be deceived by him anymore!" another fan appealed indignantly.

Fang Yang's fans threw themselves into the condemnation campaign without backing down. Through social media, comment sections, and various promotional channels, they exposed the streamer's true colors to more people. More and more people joined in, expressing anger and disappointment toward the streamer. Seeing all this on his live stream, the streamer was deeply shocked.

Facing the intense wave of accusations and criticism from the fans, the streamer picked up his phone and immediately released an emergency statement.

He emphasized that he had never accepted any fees for positive reviews and claimed that these reports were groundless slander and rumors.

However, shortly after the streamer released his statement, more evidence surfaced.

A photo exposed the scene of the streamer accepting a fee for a positive review, which made the statement he had made appear completely unconvincing.

Following this were even more disappointed viewers.

Just then, a fan published a long article detailing the truth about the positive review fees the streamer had collected, which attracted more attention.

This fan pointed out in the article that among the restaurants recommended by the streamer, many had secretly paid high positive review fees to make the list.

He listed a large amount of evidence, including restaurant owners, waiters, and even other streamers who had been recommended, all confirming this point.

This truth made more people furious.

Just at this moment, the phone suddenly rang with a ringtone.

After the streamer answered the phone, his expression became extremely flustered.

A low and threatening voice came from the phone: "You think you can escape? We will make you pay the price!"

He immediately felt a chill down his spine, and his heartbeat intensified.

He hurriedly fled the restaurant.

The silence on the other end of the phone lasted for a few seconds, as if time had frozen.

The streamer gripped his phone tightly, his heartbeat accelerating, and a light of fear flashed in his eyes.

He backed up a few steps, leaning against the wall, hoping to stay away from the seemingly silent threatener.

He tried to calm down and spoke in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

Silence came from the other end of the phone again, followed by a chilling, low laugh.

"You think you can hurt others at will and get away with it? Now it's your turn to pay the price."

The streamer's face was as pale as paper, and sweat seeped out all over his face.

He tried to remain calm, but fear had already firmly entangled his soul.

Suddenly, he recalled a food blogger he had once slandered for his restaurant's food.

This blogger was famous for being good at digging into food issues and had actually started to deal with him.

"You are..." the streamer stammered.

"That's right," a gloomy and cold voice came from the other end of the phone. "Your aggressiveness, as well as those you have hurt, will not let you go."

The streamer felt a wave of dizziness, as if he had lost the strength to stand firm.

He began to realize that the pain he was suffering was not accidental, but heaven punishing him for the way he treated others.

"I... I will correct my mistakes," the streamer stammered. "Please forgive me."

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone. "It's too late for you to regret it now. Next, I will make you pay the price."

The streamer heard a harsh screeching sound from the phone, and then the call was cut off.

He stared blankly at his phone for a moment, finally realizing that he could no longer escape this nightmare.

The dwindling audience and increasingly fierce attacks caused the streamer to completely lose his career foundation.

Advertising cooperation terminations and program cancellations became the norm. The once bright and beautiful future became dim and lusterless.

In the end, this streamer could only helplessly face reality and be completely eliminated by public opinion.

Of course, this is a story for another time.

Li Zhou also saw the farce that just happened; Fang Yang only knew how to cook, which was too boring, so he came out to interview the rich kid who had just helped.
