Milk tea wasn't a rare thing. At least, there would be a milk tea shop along the street. There were all kinds of branded shops and many franchise shops. Although most of the people who sold milk tea had experienced what was called cruelty in the end, they didn't know what it meant to be cruel.
Chen Ze remembered one of his university classmates. She was a girl and her dream was to open a small shop. She wanted to experience the thrill of being a boss without having to worry about being late or other problems.
More than a year after she graduated, Chen Ze chatted with her by chance and found out that she had joined a milk tea shop. In the end, she felt like she couldn't take it anymore and might lose a lot of money. She was very miserable.
Of course, she did not have the leisure life that she had imagined. To join a milk tea shop, she had to pay first. After reading the contract, she realized that joining a milk tea shop was a scam. It was a scam.
These milk tea shops that were not registered on the official website had spent a lot of money to hire lawyers to draft a contract. No matter what, it was difficult to get the joining fee back after signing it. Moreover, there were no loopholes.
The girl joined the milk tea shop and was appointed by the headquarters to renovate it. She spent a lot of money. Later, she found out that the same milk tea ingredients cost only a few yuan in Taobao. However, because she had signed the contract, she could only get the ingredients from the designated supplier. Therefore, the price could not be lowered.
Later on, Chen Ze heard that this girl was trying her best to persuade others to join her in order to get her joining fee back. This was because her contract stated that as long as a certain number of people were recommended by her, her joining fee could be refunded.
However, none of this had anything to do with Chen Ze. Although his sister had told him about joining the club, Chen Ze had politely declined because he felt that he might as well be a social animal. That way, he would be less of a burden to his family.
"But the taste of this milk tea is quite good." Chen Ze stretched and then put the cup of milk tea on the plate.
It was just a cup of milk tea. For Chen Ze, it was nothing. He did not even bother to use the milk tea powder that was commonly seen in the market. Instead, he made a cup of pearl milk tea himself. Of course, it was the original flavor. Then, he asked Betty to bring it out.
"Thank you …" The girl nodded gratefully at Betty. Then, she picked up the straw and slowly took a sip.
It had a soft texture and a rich taste. It was sweet but not greasy. It was much better than the milk tea on the market. The girl was very satisfied with this cup of milk tea. She hadn't had milk tea since she died.
Betty stood at the side and silently looked at the customer in front of her. This customer was actually not very good-looking. What kind of ghost had Betty not seen before? Moreover, this girl could only be said to be delicate and pretty. She was far from being beautiful.
But Betty noticed a problem. When the girl was drinking milk tea, her smile was beautiful. Her eyes were squinted, and there was a hint of warmth. But soon, the girl lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Then, Betty saw tears falling on the table.
"What's the situation?" Betty was a little confused. She smelled this cup of milk tea when she went in just now. It was very fragrant. It shouldn't be a dark cuisine invented by the manager. Moreover, the manager was a very principled person. He rarely tasted dishes with customers. This was the bottom line of the chef.
Then, why was this girl crying?
"Erm … Customer, are you okay?" Betty asked worriedly.
"I'm … I'm fine. I'm sorry. It's my own problem." The girl raised her head and tried to wipe the tears on her face.
It was very strange. The girl was crying, but her eyes didn't turn red.
"Well, you can tell me if there's anything." Betty nodded and stepped back. She was hesitating whether to tell the manager.
"It's okay." The girl shook her head and sipped her milk tea again.
Betty didn't say anything. Then, she suddenly saw something looming beside the girl.
"What's this?" Betty rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. It was indeed something black. It was like gas. It was constantly rotating around the girl. With the appearance of this gas, the girl's body began to tremble.
"Manager!" Betty ran into the kitchen. The situation in front of her was really out of her control. She could only ask the manager for help.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze looked at Betty strangely. When Betty came in, Chen Ze was still studying the medicinal cuisine.
Chen Ze had never come into contact with medicinal cuisine before, so he basically learned it from the beginning. Therefore, Chen Ze planned to read more books in preparation for developing other medicinal cuisines in the future.
"It's that customer. She's not in a good state." Betty pointed at the restaurant and told him what she had just seen.
"Well, let me see." Chen Ze walked out and was surprised to find that he had suddenly appeared on a rooftop.
Chen Ze looked around. This was a rooftop. It was very obvious, but the environment here was very strange. There was only one rooftop, and there was a crowd downstairs like ants. The other buildings and traffic couldn't be seen clearly.
"What's this?" Betty also walked out, her face full of shock.
"An illusion." Chen Ze sensed the magic circle. The magic circle showed that the two of them were actually at the kitchen door. If Chen Ze wanted to, he could easily break this illusion. However, Chen Ze didn't move. He wanted to see what kind of illusion it was.
The illusion in front of him seemed to speed up. The girl was sitting on the rooftop, and there was a bustling crowd below. Then, countless voices were shouting.
"Jump! Are you going to jump or not?"
"Don't waste my time. I'm still waiting to eat!"
"Jump down if you can!"
It was like the devil's voice from hell, making people tremble.
Chen Ze saw a firefighter holding the girl's hand, but the girl raised her head. Her face was full of tears.
"Brother, thank you. I'm leaving."
This was the girl's last voice. Then, she broke free from the firefighter's hand and fell, landing among the laughing devils.
Only the firefighter's crying was left. Then, the entire illusion was completely shattered. Chen Ze and the others appeared in the restaurant again. Then, Chen Ze saw the girl. She was crying hysterically, and there was a black gas around her. Those were words. Chen Ze saw all kinds of words. They were all words shouted by the surrounding devils without mercy.
Chen Ze was silent.
