Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 137 Apology

 “How about we start with an apology?”

"What?"

 “Apologise.” Ma Lu took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator.

"Why am I the one apologizing... You were obviously the one who started it," Yu Yizhu said dissatisfied, "Well, I did something wrong last time. I shouldn't have let Mike buy braised intestines from you and then take them in the car. Show off, but that’s because you didn’t sell it to me before, so I got angry..."

"No, I'm not talking about what happened last time." Ma Lu interrupted Yu Yizhuo.

"You left a message on my steam account saying that you wanted to break up with me. I replied to you and told you that we would meet for an interview. You could choose the location and time. But after you made the choice, you let me go... Anyway, what is it like? Is it weird to announce a breakup on Steam?”

“It’s my first time too, so I don’t have much experience.” Yu Yizhuo muttered, “And I happened to encounter something that day.”

"Really, what could be more important than breaking up?" Ma Lu opened the Coke and took a sip, "Tell me and listen."

　　　…”

“Forget it, if you don’t want to apologize, then get out of the way, don’t delay my business.”

“What, what did you say just now? It was too quiet, I didn’t hear it.” Malu picked his ears.

 So after finishing speaking, Malu ignored Yu Yizhu and turned around to continue selling his giant horned viper fried noodles.

“Don’t get me wrong, I have no idea about you now, but the past things have always made me very unhappy. If you want to talk about business, it’s not impossible. My principle is never to cooperate with the enemy.

“I’m sorry, I did something wrong before...I shouldn’t let you go just because I don’t know how to face you. Of course, the most important reason is that I am worried that I will be persuaded by you.

"And when doing interviews, you must first find a way to make the interviewee feel better, so that the interviewee is willing to cooperate and answer your questions as seriously as possible... You are a journalism graduate, so you don't need me to do this kind of thing. Teach it.”

“Heh, you’re just using the topic to avenge your personal vengeance!” Yu Yizhu’s face changed slightly.

"You're talking nonsense. When did you have this principle?" Yu Yizhuo said angrily.

"No, wait." Yu Yizhu took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said quickly.

“I was so panicked at the time that I chose the worst way to deal with it, which completely deteriorated our relationship.

After Yu Yizhuo finished speaking, he bowed to Malu.

Ma Lu’s original intention was to get Yu Yizhu to retreat when the situation was difficult. No one understood Yu Yizhu’s character better than him. This woman was extremely stubborn, and it was harder to get her to bow her head and give in than to get Russia and Ukraine to cease the war.

“I’m sorry, that’s it. Can we talk about business next?”

Ma Lu put down the Coke and said, "Next one."

 “That’s right.” Malu admitted straightforwardly.

"By the time I found out, it was already too late. I was afraid of being scolded by you, so in the end I simply deleted all your contact information, but this caused more harm to you. You are right, I did I owe you an apology.”

But what Ma Lu didn't expect was that after Yu Yizhu stood there for two minutes, he didn't leave. Instead, he spoke again.

"Just now, I added it specifically for you." Malu took another sip of Coke.

Ma Lu was a little surprised and touched his chin, "To be honest, I still prefer your unruly look before."

Hearing the words, Yu Yizhu still kept his posture of bowing his head and did not answer the words.

"Although I know you only said this for the interview, okay, I reluctantly accept your apology." Yu Yitong waited for a while before raising his head again.

 Ma Lu noticed that her eyes were a little red, "Your eyes."

"It's nothing, sand just got in." Yu Yitong sniffed and wrote lightly, "Can we talk about the interview next?"

"Okay, but as I said before, being interviewed by you doesn't seem to be good for me and my food stall." Malu continued to drink Coke.

 “What benefit do you want?”

“Let me think about it, it is most convenient to transfer money directly, just 2000 once. You can apply to your boss.”

“We don’t have this kind of funding. Even if I apply for it, I won’t be able to get it approved.”

“It’s hard for me to do it without money, so let’s do it behind the scenes and improve my ranking. Aren’t you a food review website?”

“We are indeed a food review, but we have a strict scoring process, and we cannot raise or lower anyone casually. Moreover, our ratings are for restaurants, and yours is just a food stall.

"Who said that? I will open a restaurant soon. The address has been chosen and the rent has been paid. Now I am decorating and applying for licenses. It will be open soon." Malu said.

 “Are you going to open a store?” Yu Yizhu was stunned when he heard this.

“I can’t keep selling snacks at the school gate.” Malu continued to drink the Coke in his hand.

“Congratulations, but the ratings cannot be changed randomly, otherwise it will destroy credibility and users will no longer trust us.” Yu Yizhuo said.

"Ah, it's so troublesome," Malu frowned, "Then help me advertise my new store and tell your readers about the store I want to open and the address."

Yu Yitong thought for a while, "Although the website has advertising space, the fees are very expensive. But if you just mention the store opening and location, I should be able to add it at the end for you."

"That's it...that's okay." Malu finally relented, "You can ask whatever you want to interview, but if it involves our business secrets, I won't tell you."

“Of course, you can just skip the questions you don’t want to answer.” Yu Yizhu also breathed a sigh of relief and took out his voice recorder and notebook.

The whole interview lasted for nearly an hour. Mainly because Ma Lu had to greet guests and could only take the time to answer Yu Yizhuo's questions when he was free.

Yu Yizhuo had only seen the popularity of the number one food stall in the universe on the short video platform before, but this time she was really shocked when she watched it up close.

A portion of fried noodles costs 36 yuan. This price is outrageous no matter how you look at it.

However, some people actually buy it. Not only do some people buy it, but more than half of them choose to buy another one to take away after eating.

This repurchase rate is frighteningly high.

Although there were many students who complained that the price was too expensive, all of them shut up after eating.

 The business of the No. 1 food stall in the universe was extremely booming. Ma Lu prepared 600 portions of fried noodles, and before dark, the sales were down to double digits.

Moreover, more and more people are crowding around the food stall. Yu Yizhuo heard that someone went out at noon at noon, and as a result, many diners would rather wait here hungry.

Some people drove here from the suburbs to eat, and there was also a wealthy person who bought 30 portions in one go, saying that because there were many people at home, he couldn't finish the food and froze it in the refrigerator.

What happened before her eyes completely overturned Yu Yizhu's understanding of street stalls, and she could finally understand why Ma Lu had not been interested in interviews before.
