Chapter 225 The Sudden Fire
The soft sound of keyboard typing came from the other end of the phone.
"I reviewed the traffic data of all my videos since you opened, and I found that whenever I collaborate with you, the completion rate, number of shares, and interaction in the comment section completely crush other categories."
"Do you remember in episode 2, I specifically filmed how you wrapped the buns, showing your techniques and so on? That episode received the best response."
Chen Yuan wasn't very familiar with this area, so he humbly asked for advice. Sister Tian Tian answered all his questions without reservation.
"I've compiled the comments, and I think it's because your cooking movements are very smooth, showing that you're very familiar with the process, and you don't talk much. In short, it's very down-to-earth. Although people like fancy things nowadays, they still really appreciate practical things."
Chen Yuan paused, then spoke faster.
"Since that's the case, I'm thinking of striking while the iron is hot and doing another follow-up interview for you. If possible, it would be best to do two or three interviews in a row. What do you think?"
Chen Yuan listened quietly, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the edge of the bed twice.
He knows all too well how traffic can come and go quickly.
If Sweetie wants to maintain her position as the queen of online traffic, she needs to understand and cater to the audience's preferences.
Chen Yuan took a breath. Sister Tiantian helped him attract traffic for free in the early stages and also helped him build the mini-program. She took on all these miscellaneous tasks and did her best.
He asked the other party to film videos and so on, and the price they gave him was very, very fair, you could even say they gave him an employee discount.
Now that the other party has a need, he should reciprocate.
"OK."
Chen Yuan answered decisively: "You guys decide what to do. I'll just do my best to cooperate with you, but you can't interfere with my stall schedule, and we'd better not stage any photos."
The other party chuckled: "Anything else? Boss Chen, your shop is getting bigger and better, and you have more rules than before."
Chen Yuan laughed along, "Yes, we need to agree on three rules. Also, if any customers in the restaurant are to appear on camera, they must give their consent, and their private information must be strictly blurred out."
"Also, I hope you can be more transparent with me regarding the backend data, and stop doing fake traffic generation and inflating numbers. What do you think? If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them, and I will definitely do my best to cooperate."
Sweetie smiled sweetly: "Boss Chen, I especially like your serious attitude."
"Don't worry, this account of mine wasn't built on traffic. I have a good reputation, okay? I'll write the script tonight and send it to you tomorrow morning. Take a look when you have time."
Chen Yuan readily agreed: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
hang up the phone.
The night outside was quiet.
Silent all night.
It was just before 6 a.m. the next day.
A long queue had already formed outside Chen Yuan's breakfast shop.
Although the teaser released by Sister Sweetie came a little late, it still ignited the enthusiasm of fans.
As the number of people increased, the volunteers maintaining order, despite their efforts, were still somewhat stretched thin.
"Don't push, don't push, line up!"
"Those in front, move forward; those behind, don't push!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you stepped on my foot!"
Chen Yuan didn't take it seriously at first. After all, although there were fewer people before, there weren't many fewer, and he was already used to it.
He was doing his usual routine.
Everything was proceeding as usual when suddenly Aunt Li sniffed.
"Hey, don't you guys notice a weird smell?"
Hao Hao, standing to the side, also took a deep breath: "It's... burnt... burnt..."
After being reminded by the two men, Chen Yuan also noticed a burnt smell, but it didn't smell like burnt food; rather, it smelled like burnt plastic.
Chen Yuan looked up and around. His shop did indeed have a lot of electrical appliances. He was afraid that something might happen at this moment, so he urgently asked Aunt Li to check.
"Aunt Li, you must search carefully, and make sure nothing bad happens to you."
Just as Aunt Li put down her work and looked around for the source of the pungent smell, a loud shout suddenly came from the shop next door.
"Help! Help! Help!"
"Fire!"
Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, a pungent, acrid smell, mixed with the stench of burning plastic, grew stronger and stronger, and soon spread into the room.
Thick smoke billowed from the crack in the door of the shop next door, and orange-red flames licked at the door frame. Accompanied by crackling and popping sounds, the situation was completely out of control.
"Oh my god! Fire!"
"Oh my god, what's going on? Run!"
The crowd erupted into chaos instantly, and the previously orderly queue suddenly turned into a panic.
Fortunately, the fire was not large and the situation was not critical. In addition, the volunteers worked hard to maintain order, which prevented the situation from getting worse.
Chen Yuan reacted the fastest, grabbing a dry powder fire extinguisher that was prepared in the store and rushing to the next room.
After rushing out the door, he shouted to several older volunteers, "I still have fire extinguishers in my shop! Quick! Put out the fire!"
Besides Chen Yuan, Aunt Li and several other women in the shop also sprang into action, some grabbing basins and others buckets, filling them with water and rushing out to help put out the fire.
At this moment, Old Zhang from the shop next door cried out, "Oh dear, it's all ruined! It's all ruined, my electricity is gone!"
When someone asked what had caught fire, Old Zhang initially pretended not to hear, but as more and more people pressed him for answers, he finally told the truth.
"I put my electric scooter inside to charge, and it suddenly caught fire. I tried to put it out myself, but I couldn't."
"Oh dear! How can you charge an electric scooter indoors!"
"Old Zhang, don't you have any common sense? Our neighborhood committee has repeatedly warned against charging electric bicycles indoors, why don't you listen?!"
Chen Yuanchong was on the front line of firefighting, not because he had a change of heart.
The main reason is that the two shops are too close to each other. As the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well.
If the fire gets too big on Lao Zhang's side, then he'll be in trouble too!
But it was no use. The fire from the electric scooter's battery was beyond the control of ordinary fire extinguishing methods. The fire burned like oil, growing ever stronger, billowing thick smoke, and the heat waves hit people in the face, making their skin ache.
"Call 119 immediately! Call 119!"
"My goods, my goods! All the stock in my shop is gone!"
Old Zhang slumped to the ground, burying his face in his hands, tears streaming down his face.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan used a fire extinguisher to suppress the fire while shouting to the others.
"Aunt Li! Quick! Move everything out of our shop!"
"Move everything you can, hurry up!"
