Chapter 66 Zhou Wenbin's Dao Heart

Chen Luxin's new restaurant review video went viral, garnering over a million likes, 10 comments, and tens of thousands of shares in just two hours.

It immediately soared to the top of Douyin's local rankings and trending topics, with keywords such as "evening breeze bar," "industrial ruins," and "Chen Lu's style" experiencing a surge in popularity.

Countless local users, and even netizens from surrounding cities, are seeing this video like crazy.

They were also drawn to the unique and contrasting style of the video, as well as the fun atmosphere created by Chen Lu and the waiter's cosplay.

And this is just the beginning.

Following the viral success of Chen Lu's video, several other influencers who participated in the filming that day also released their own store visit videos.

Their popularity soared, and their presence on trending topics also increased.

Many experts and ordinary people followed suit and edited the videos.

A lifestyle blogger who focuses on food and wine reviews provided detailed comments on the drinks featured in Chen Lu's videos.

There are also many people who specialize in making mashups or editing videos, repeatedly editing these experts' videos.

In no time, major social media platforms, especially local circles in Jingcheng, were flooded with posts about Wanfeng Bar.

The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, Zhou Wenbin was awakened by a series of urgent cell phone rings.

He answered the phone groggily, and on the other end was an excited girl: "Hey? Is this Evening Breeze Bar? What time do you open today? Can we go in and take pictures now?"

Zhou Wenbin glanced at the pale sky outside the window, then at the time on his phone, his mind still a little blank.

"...Taking photos? Our bar only opens at 8...7 pm."

"Oh? It has to be tonight? Can I line up now?" the girl persisted.

Zhou Wenbin hung up the phone, thinking it might be some particularly enthusiastic fan, but less than two minutes later, the phone rang again.

This time it was a guy who asked if he could book the whole place for a birthday party, money wasn't an issue.

Then came the third, the fourth... the phone rang incessantly, like crazy.

All they asked were about opening hours, reservations, and whether they could open early.

Zhou Wenbin suddenly became completely sober, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Immediately afterwards, without even washing his face, he threw on his clothes and rushed to the bar.

Before the car even reached the bar, I could see it from afar, a sea of ​​heads.

As the car drew closer, Zhou Wenbin was completely dumbfounded.

A long queue stretched for dozens of meters in front of the bar, turned a corner, and almost blocked half of the street's traffic.

The group was full of young people, both men and women, in small groups.

People were taking photos everywhere with their phones—selfies, photos of groups, photos of bar signs, and even live streams.

It seems that checking in at a bar these days is the key to getting attention.

Zhou Wenbin was speechless for a moment. Damn it, my bar only opens at night, what's the point of coming here so early in the morning?

Although Zhou Wenbin felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, he still quickly picked up the phone and called other employees.

"Hey, Xiao Wang! You need to tell everyone right now, his mom needs to come to the store immediately, something terrible has happened, the customers have blocked our store. Yes, now, immediately!"

After finishing the call, he ran breathlessly to the door. As he took out his keys to open the door, the crowd cheered.

Suddenly, all the phone cameras were pointed at him.

"The boss is here! Open the door! Open the door!"

"Boss, look here, give me a peace sign."

"..."

Zhou Wenbin suddenly felt like he wasn't there to open a bar, but rather like a top celebrity holding a fan meeting.

This feeling of being surrounded by "fans" seems quite unique.

He frantically opened the door, but before he could even speak, the crowd surged inside.

"Don't push, line up, and be careful!" Zhou Wenbin shouted at the top of his lungs.

Not long after, several waiters arrived.

He quickly got everyone to maintain order, and then picked up a megaphone from behind the bar.

"Handsome guys and beautiful ladies, listen to me. Our bar's normal opening hours are 7 PM, it's only morning now, and we're not ready yet."

The drinks and music aren't ready yet, so there's not much to do for now.

Immediately, someone below shouted, "We're just here to take photos and film videos!"

"Yes, we just want to take photos like Chen Lu."

Zhou Wenbin was at his wit's end, and finally, having no other choice, he called Su Ming.

Finally, the two of them discussed it and decided to open during the day as well, even if it meant working shifts. They could offer more overtime pay.

Having received Su Ming's order, Zhou Wenbin began arranging for the waiters.

They also began to collect data on the population and charge fees.

Although the bar doesn't have a minimum charge, a normal drink costs around 88 to 188.

"Since these people are so determined to check in, let's charge them 188 and bring them drinks."

Thinking to himself, Zhou Wenbin made arrangements for the two male waiters next to him.

Tell them to quickly arrange the drinks, then have the waitresses change quickly to serve the crowd and take a count.

When the waitress showed Zhou Wenbin the tally, he was stunned.

There were over 500 people, and more were still coming in.

"Holy crap, even if they only charge a minimum of 188, they can still make hundreds of thousands in revenue a day."

so horrible!

As Zhou Wenbin watched this surreal scene, only one thought occupied his mind.

Awesome! Absolutely amazing! This traffic is fucking gold!

He needs to collect the money quickly!

At the same time, Zhou Wenbin also gathered several good acquaintances to help.

Because the flow of people was so huge, people kept coming in, queuing up, and making reservations.

Gradually, the queue never got shorter after it started forming, and it kept getting longer and longer.

The bar was packed from opening to closing time.

The waiters were so busy they were practically running around, the kitchen staff were so busy cutting fruit their hands were cramping, and the bartenders were shaking themselves to the point of questioning their existence.

By the second day, an ancient profession had even emerged in the bars—scalpers.

"Evening Breeze Bar, 9 PM appointment, 300 per person, DM me if interested."

"Internal channel, skip the line and go straight in, 500 per person, limited to two people."

Various shady characters began selling tickets around the queue, and some even obtained bar waiter uniforms from who-knows-where, attempting to impersonate staff and help people cut in line.

However, Zhou Wenbin spotted him and chased him away.

As the bar continues to gain popularity, the situation is becoming increasingly outrageous.

However, in order to make good use of this wave of traffic, Zhou Wenbin remembered the prepaid value activity that Su Ming had mentioned.

Taking advantage of the high customer traffic, the bar immediately launched a promotional recharge event and set up VIP booths.

There were VIP and regular queues. VIPs could take their seats first, which saved scalpers from making money.

After launching the prepaid activity, Zhou Wenbin never expected that the amount of money recharged would reach such an outrageous level.

In just two days, he felt that he had already earned back all the money he had invested over the past few years.

When he saw the amount he had recharged, he even felt a little tremble.
