Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Not long ago, the words Qian Laoban and Zhao Zhenhui had said to him surfaced in his mind.

Those two said not to leave today, said there'd be a good show to watch.

Originally the glasses man didn't care at all, thinking they were just casually saying it to scare him.

But looking at the situation now, they actually got it right.

The drinks in this vending machine have already dropped to the same prices as the convenience store.

Yet still not a single bottle can be sold.

Could that warm reminder on the small blackboard at Lu Feng's Shop entrance really have this much influence?

This isn't scientific!

Do these diners really listen to Lu Feng that much?

"You tell the truth! Is there something wrong with your drinks!"

The braised food shop proprietress pointed furiously at the glasses man, spittle spraying onto his face: "Did you use fakes to swindle me! Otherwise how could it sell fine yesterday, and today not a single bottle moves!"

"Big sis, you can eat rice carelessly, but you can't speak carelessly!"

The glasses man couldn't help getting angry too, immediately retorting rudely: "I've told you several times! My drinks are all sourced from big factories! If I use fakes to swindle you, may I be struck by lightning!"

He'd been holding in anger the whole time.

This proprietress suspected the drinks had problems at every turn, clearly wanting to use it as an excuse to make him responsible.

Although when he usually delivered to other small merchants, he indeed pulled some tricks.

Like mixing some near-expiry ones into normal drinks and sending them over as a bundle.

Or occasionally stuffing a few knockoff "Lei Bi" "Nong Sanquan" bottles as gifts to those merchants.

But the two deliveries to the braised food shop proprietress, those had absolutely no watering down.

After all she was still a new client, he hadn't had time to scheme yet.

Yet now the proprietress pointed at his nose, wrongly accusing him of sending fakes.

How could the glasses man feel comfortable?

"Not your drinks' problem? Then you explain! Why is no one buying today!"

The proprietress hands on hips, furiously roared.

"Isn't this obvious!"

The glasses man stretched a hand pointing toward Lu Feng's Shop, tone aggressive: "It's that kid next to you pulling a dirty trick! Bewitching customers not to buy drinks from you, can't you see? What's the use of arguing with me? Go find him!"

"Hey, this brother, saying that is slandering Lu Boss!"

The glasses man's voice just fell, and from the onlookers came a burst of chaotic retorts.

"Right! Lu Boss only suggested customers drink less beverages, didn't mention your vending machine at all!"

"Lu Boss didn't force us, we ourselves don't want to buy drinks, where's the bewitching?"

Quite a few in the crowd were Lu Feng's Shop diners, hearing the glasses man say that, they instantly got unhappy.

The braised food shop proprietress was anxious but not stupid.

Today's situation, nine out of ten it's related to Lu Feng's side.

But the content on Lu Feng's warm reminder, not a single sentence targeted her vending machine.

Even if she wanted to find trouble with Lu Feng, she had no grounds.

But her loss had to be pinned on someone, the glasses man before her was naturally the most suitable candidate.

Speaking of it, the root of this matter still lay on the glasses man.

"Got nothing to do with that surnamed Lu kid! Don't think you can shirk responsibility!"

The proprietress eyes widened round, shoved the glasses man's arm: "I say it's your drinks with problems! Otherwise why do convenience store drinks sell fine, but mine not a single bottle!"

"You ask me, who do I ask!"

The glasses man also lost his temper, simply pushing responsibility back to the proprietress: "I say it's because you sold too expensive yesterday, people felt coming to you was a rip-off, so today they don't come!"

"You fart!"

The proprietress flew into a rage, finger nearly poking the glasses man's nose: "Your mother sold fine yesterday! Not a single person said pricey! Definitely your drinks have problems! You used fakes to swindle us merchants didn't you! Otherwise why wouldn't that surnamed Lu kid cooperate with you!"

Her words out, several merchants around who cooperated with the glasses man couldn't help looking at him with strange eyes.

Before when they sold drinks, they'd occasionally discover some near-expiry drinks.

Originally thought the deliverer didn't check carefully and accidentally mixed them in.

With the proprietress saying this, they instantly felt the glasses man definitely pulled tricks inside.

No wonder last week when he sought Lu Boss to discuss cooperation, he was so decisively refused.

Definitely because he discovered his provided drinks were inferior, so he refused!

Seeing onlookers increasing, and those clients cooperating with him now showing unkind expressions.

The glasses man felt staying longer, Food Street clients here might all be lost, heart had thoughts of slipping away.

"Can't be bothered arguing with you, my drinks are all from legitimate manufacturers, if you don't believe take them for testing yourself, don't pin it on my head! I still have matters, not wasting time with you here."

The proprietress saw the glasses man wanted to leave, how could she let him go?

If he left, all these drinks unsold, who would she go to?

"You stop right there! Today if you don't resolve your mother's matter, don't even think about leaving!"

The boss's wife grabbed the bespectacled man's arm with one hand, clutching it tight and refusing to let go.

The bespectacled man was yanked into a stumble by her, nearly falling over, only feeling his arm burning with pain from her grip.

He struggled hard twice, but the boss's wife's hand was like an iron clamp; he simply couldn't break free.

"What are you doing? Let go! Threatening me, huh? I run a legitimate business, I'm not afraid of your threats!"

The bespectacled man shouted with a face full of anger, regretting it secretly in his heart.

Had he known he'd run into this situation today, he wouldn't have come to Food Street even if it killed him.

"You swindled so much money out of me, and now the drinks can't be sold, you think you can just pat your butt and leave?"

The boss's wife clutched the bespectacled man's arm tight: "Take your shoddy fake goods away, I don't want them! Return my money! Otherwise you're not leaving today!"

The atmosphere at the scene instantly heated up, an unprecedented tearing battle on the verge of breaking out.

The bespectacled man who had originally been pestering Lu Feng disgustingly was now being pestered by the boss's wife instead.

This also precisely verified that saying: Evil people get ground down by evil people.

"You let go of me! You believe it or not I..."

The bespectacled man was somewhat frantic with rage, originally wanting to say some ruthless words.

But seeing the boss's wife's thick arms and tiger-backed bear-waisted figure, the ruthless words reached his mouth and he swallowed them back down.

This boss's wife's build is so sturdy, if a fight really broke out, his small frame might not be able to take it.

His own arm was held by one of the boss's wife's hands, and just now he'd struggled for half a day without breaking free.

The boss's wife's strength was also much greater than his own.

If a slap came over, he might just end up flat on the ground with a crack right then and there.
