Moon Mansion finally did something so direct that Yang Ruoqian felt refreshed.
They sold the queue.
Not metaphorically.
Not through an add-on with polite language.
Their new page said:
Queue Advancement Package.
Yang read the title with real admiration.
"This is terrible."
Chang Zhiqing nodded.
"Very terrible."
"Good."
"Not for them."
"Exactly."
For one precious moment, Yang watched another company make the obvious mistake.
Pay to advance.
Pay to be seen.
Pay to wait less.
Pay to reach the same uncertain no.
It was everything he wanted Xplendi to do but could not safely do.
At nine, venue owners reacted like people who had just found a service charge inside an apology.
One wrote:
If I do not pay, am I behind?
Another wrote:
If I pay and still get rejected, what did I buy?
A third wrote:
Xplendi's queue is annoying, but at least it is not a cashier.
Yang looked at cashier.
That word was cruel.
He respected it.
Then he realized it helped Xplendi.
