Chapter 517: Chapter 513 The Truth Revealed (One more for subscription)
The next day, this video was indeed released on the internet by the same public account.
The name of this public account was ’Promoting Positive Energy’.
The video started with a mineral water bottle falling to the ground.
Then the girl picked up the bottle, approached a BMW, and scolded, "Why are you littering!"
Saying this, the girl threw the bottle back into the BMW.
Then some text appeared on the screen, promoting positive energy, urging people to protect the environment by not littering.
This video was posted online and immediately drew attention.
Netizens commented one after another.
"The girl did a great job."
"Our society desperately needs this kind of positive energy."
"Thumbs up for the girl."
Soon the view count of the video exceeded a million and was still rapidly increasing.
"We did it, we succeeded."
In a room, a pair of male and female were crying tears of joy.
Last time, they orchestrated the ’Roach Gate’ incident, and this time it was the mineral water bottle incident.
Both videos, reflecting the negative energy in society, perfectly achieved their goal of resonating with the audience.
This also made their two videos go viral instantly.
Now their public account’s followers have exceeded a million, and many advertisers have called them for collaboration.
This was their real purpose for making the videos.
However, they were happy too early.
Soon another video surfaced online.
The guy and the girl were discussing how to shoot a hit video.
Then followed the girl’s performance, on how to stop the BMW and ask for a mineral water bottle from its owner.
Then dropping it on the ground and picking it up again.
Even the chat records between the guy and the girl were leaked.
"Last time, ’Roach Gate’, we shot it brilliantly, if this succeeds, we’ll surely go viral."
...
This newly released video immediately caught the attention of netizens.
"No way, they actually pulled such a dirty trick."
"So shameless, tricking people for attention."
"Turns out it was all a setup, and I even liked it."
"Seems like the last ’Roach Gate’ was also scripted by them."
...
On almost the same day, the Wanbao Hotel issued an announcement that after inspection by the most authoritative health quarantine agency in Hua Country, the hotel’s sanitation reached 5A Level standards.
This was the highest standard in the world.
"I knew it, how could a five-star hotel have roaches."
"At the time, I already felt there was something off with the video; the fried roaches, shouldn’t they be blackened anyway? Feels like they just threw dead roaches in."
"Deceiving the feelings of netizens, it’s truly despicable."
Online, the scolding was incessant.
As users unfollowed ’Promoting Positive Energy’, it soon became a failed public account.
In contrast, Wanbao Hotel became the biggest beneficiary.
At the Wanbao Hotel, manager Bai Tang was excitedly saying, "Mr. Ye, this is great; ever since the ’Roach Gate’ incident was resolved, our hotel’s revenues have been continuously rising, and have even surpassed the previous levels."
Ye Chen replied calmly, "Are our restaurant customers satisfied?"
"Very satisfied, boss, where did you find these chefs? They are incredible."
Ye Chen faintly smiled, "I still have a surprise for you."
"What surprise?" Bai Tang was momentarily puzzled.
"I want to get our hotel to Michelin three-star level."
"What?" Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Bai Tang was also momentarily stunned.
"Boss, applying for Michelin three stars is very difficult; although our hardware conditions meet the requirements, we must have signature dishes that the evaluators will recognize."
Ye Chen faintly smiled, "Leave this to me."
In the kitchen, Li Xiangxiang was directing the chefs as they busied about.
This time, Li Xiangxiang had brought out her entire culinary class team.
Previously, the delicious food they made could only be tasted by classmates; now, they finally had a chance to fully showcase their skills.
For each dish, they’d write a little poem along with opinions and a scoring sheet.
This method was very well-received by the customers.
Many customers became repeat visitors after trying it once.
At this time, Ye Chen walked in.
Seeing Ye Chen, Li Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up.
"Principal Ye, you’re here."
Ye Chen nodded, "Xiangxiang, you’re doing great."
Li Xiangxiang’s cheeks blushed, "Principal, it’s you who gave us this opportunity."
Ye Chen chuckled, "By the way, are you interested in challenging Michelin three stars?"
Michelin three stars?
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Xiangxiang’s heart fluttered.
Ye Chen faintly smiled, "Challenging Michelin three stars is not easy; the dishes must have unique characteristics that can impress all the evaluators to have a chance."
Li Xiangxiang nodded.
"Michelin three stars has always been our dream, but right now, our problem is that we don’t have standout specialty dishes."
Ye Chen faintly smiled, "I have a few recipes here; you can take a look."
As he said this, Ye Chen handed a piece of paper to Li Xiangxiang, "If you can make these dishes well, I believe becoming Michelin three-star is not a big problem."
Li Xiangxiang took the recipe, and just a glance was enough to captivate her.
This recipe was simply brilliant.
Ye Chen faintly smiled—could recipes written with Divine-level Cooking Skill be lacking?
As for whether these students could make the dishes, that was their problem.
However, Ye Chen believed that with Li Xiangxiang’s talent, it should not be an issue.
As long as they could achieve seventy percent of the intended results, Wanbao Hotel achieving Michelin three stars would not be a problem.
Just after Ye Chen left the hotel, he received a call; Elder Wei was coming again.
Elder Wei had come to the school several times, showing how much he valued the mecha project.
Ye Chen went to the school to welcome Elder Wei at the gate.
Ye Chen felt a bit helpless—was Elder Wei always this free, often coming to the school?
"Younger Brother Ye, I’ve come to bother you again."
Ye Chen smiled, "Elder Wei, it’s our honor to have you come."
Indeed, it was so, for which university or college wouldn’t want high-level visitors dropping by constantly?
However, Elder Wei still felt a bit embarrassed.
During this period, he visited the school almost every few days.
Ye Chen smiled, "Shall we chat in the office?"
At the office, Lin Shiyin prepared tea for the two of them.
By now, Lin Shiyin had become the vice principal of the school, taking charge of its management.
After all, managing a school was no easy task.
Ye Chen smiled, "Elder Wei, is there something you need?"
Elder Wei said awkwardly, "I came just to check on the progress of the mecha."
Saying this, Elder Wei felt a bit embarrassed.
"The country really needs this mecha right now, how could I not be anxious? The higher-ups are all very concerned."
From Elder Wei’s expression, Ye Chen already knew, Elder Wei’s urgency was genuine.
Ye Chen smiled, "Elder Wei, you should know, building a mecha is not like stacking blocks; it can’t be done so quickly."
"Yes, yes, I understand all that, but I still think about this giant machine every day."
Ye Chen smiled, "However, recently, the production of the mecha has indeed seen some progress."
