My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot

Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Promotion

There was no computer available right now, so the guest couldn’t show Liu Yushu.

Liu Yushu kept her confusion to herself and took the guest over to the cashier area.

On this side, Lu Youxi had specifically made a shelf for Hexing Rice.

"This is Hexing Rice, available in five and ten kilogram packs," Liu Yushu explained with a smile. "They’re all vacuum-packed, convenient for storage if left unopened. If it’s your first time, I recommend trying the five kilogram pack first. If you like it, you can come back for the ten kilogram pack."

"It’s rare to see a business owner recommend buying less first," the customer commented with a smile. "Doesn’t everyone suggest buying the more expensive option?"

"That’s because I have confidence in Hexing Rice. Once you try it, you’ll definitely come back for more," Liu Yushu explained with a laugh. "It’s not just because I sell Hexing Rice; I sell it because it truly is delicious. Try it for yourself."

"It’s a shame it’s not time to eat yet, the rice hasn’t been steamed, or else I’d let you taste it right away," Liu Yushu said regretfully.

"No worries, I’ll start with a five-kilogram bag to test out, and if it’s good, I’ll come back for more."

"Sounds good." Liu Yushu grabbed a five-kilogram bag of rice and weighed it for the customer.

"Oh, it’s even a little over," the customer observed, looking at the scale.

"We pack these ourselves, and when we do, we’d rather overfill slightly than underfill," Liu Yushu patted her chest and said, "I can guarantee that you’re getting your money’s worth with our rice—not a single grain less."

Right after the customer with the rice left, more customers came one after another to buy rice.

The customers buying rice today simply never stopped coming.

By the time it was mealtime, customers started coming in to eat.

Based on past experience, Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu usually managed smoothly.

But unexpectedly today, three to four times more people showed up than usual.

All the tables were filled, with new customers even sharing tables with others.

Even after all available spots were taken, more customers continued to come.

Seeing the place full, some asked if they could take away their orders.

"Yes, but it’ll take a little while," Liu Yushu said, busy and sweating.

Hearing that they could take away their food, and not wanting to leave empty-handed, naturally, everyone chose to wait a bit, even foregoing cooking their own dinner.

Soon, a long line formed outside the door.

Grandma Xu moved some stools outside for the customers in line.

But there were only so many stools, and not every customer could sit.

When Grandma Xu brought out the last stool, she told the customers in line, "I’m really sorry, we didn’t expect this many people today, and there aren’t enough stools. That’s all there are."

"That’s okay, don’t worry about it," the customers saw how old Grandma Xu was and felt bad seeing her busy moving stools around.

"We’ll get to sit when our turn comes to the front of the line."

Since there were so many people today, cleaning up took longer than usual, and they closed the doors a bit later.

After class, Lu Youxi came over to help out.

"You’re Lu Youxi?!" A customer recognized her from a video and called out excitedly.

Lu Youxi wasn’t aware that the village chief had made a video, but knowing that her video had started circulating outside the campus, she nodded, "Yes, that’s me."

"I support you!" said a young girl to Lu Youxi, "You’re amazing, running a business with your own skills and even helping your hometown prosper."

"Yeah, if it were me, coming to Imperial Capital I wouldn’t even be able to afford my tuition fees, barely managing a student loan, only working part-time jobs to earn money," another customer chimed in.

"I’m just lucky, and I met talented people. It couldn’t have been done just by me alone. I had classmates, family, and the village chief supporting me," Lu Youxi said with a smile.

Usually, the restaurant closed at 7:30 p.m., and no customers would come after that.

Office workers on overtime would look for places to eat around eight or nine p.m.

But Lu Youxi didn’t want Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu to overwork, so she suggested not staying open too late and not keeping a night business.

They closed at 7:30 p.m., especially since all the waiters were part-time students.

Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu didn’t want to make students work too late, affecting their study time.

So at 7:30 p.m., everyone cleaned up together, and by eight o’clock they locked up and pulled down the shutter doors to leave.

After splitting up with the students on their way home, Liu Yushu finally asked Lu Youxi, "There were suddenly so many customers buying Hexing Rice today. One of the first customers I talked to said it was because the village chief made some video."

"What video?" Liu Yushu asked curiously.

"I only found out during the day too. I’ll show you on the computer when we get home."

Once they got home, Liu Yushu was in such a hurry she didn’t even bother unpacking; she promptly urged Lu Youxi to show them the video.

Lu Youxi opened her laptop, found the video, and showed it to her family.

Grandma Xu even put on her reading glasses specially.

"I didn’t expect a post from the campus forum to end up on Haijiao Forum, which gets a lot of traffic as the largest exchange forum in our country," Lu Youxi recounted resignedly yet moved, "So this whole thing suddenly blew up. Plus, a journalist interviewed the village chief, which made him aware of it."

"The village chief never told me directly, just said he needed a few days off to go back to Hexing Village. I thought something had happened to his family; I had no idea he went back to tell the people of Hexing Village about it, gathering everyone to support me and clarify things," Lu Youxi explained.

"When the video got uploaded to Little Pink Book, Pei Jingyuan boosted it with more traffic, and that’s how many internet users got to see it, resulting in our restaurant seeing a sudden surge in customers today," Lu Youxi elaborated.

Liu Yushu wasn’t aware of the campus forum incident and couldn’t help but say angrily to Lu Youxi, "With such a big deal happening on the campus forum, them slandering you like this, why didn’t you tell us about it!"

"I didn’t want to worry you, and it was initially just spreading within the campus, not really a big deal. I already knew someone was scheming against me, but because I didn’t know who it was, or their objective, I kept still. I was waiting for them to post something; once they did, I immediately handed the original video over to the school to clarify things. The school then released the original video, and that matter was actually clarified. What’s left is just to investigate who was slandering me."

"I never expected it would be shared outside and go viral."

"That’s not how you should’ve handled it; even if it was clarified, you should’ve still told us," Grandma Xu, unusually not in support of Lu Youxi this time, stood by Liu Yushu’s side, "Someone was plotting against you, and we had no idea."
