After finishing work, a group of young people returned to their apartment building and decided to stop by the supermarket to buy some snacks and beer to treat themselves. While checking out, one of them noticed a brand of cigarettes called “Su Tobacco.”
“Hey, isn’t this the legendary Su Tobacco?” He exclaimed.
“What’s Su Tobacco?” Another person next to him asked with a confused look on his face.
“Wow, you don’t even know about it? It’s a tobacco brand developed in collaboration with Su Jing and the government. It has been making headlines these days, with advertisements on major television channels and in various public places. They claim it’s a new, harmless cigarette. It seems like the government is heavily promoting it, aiming to replace traditional tobacco with this brand,” The first person explained.
“But why this Su Tobacco? And is it even true?” Someone questioned.
“Let’s buy a pack and try it. Then we’ll know,” Another person suggested.
“The cheapest pack costs Fifty Yuan. I’m not buying it,” One of them objected.
“Yeah, it could be just a scam. I don’t want to be fooled and end up looking like a fool,” Another person added.
In the end, among the group, only one person couldn’t resist their curiosity and bought a pack with a ‘Let’s try it’ mentality. As soon as everyone stepped outside, that person eagerly opened the packaging and lit a cigarette while everyone in the group was watching him.
At first glance, it didn’t seem much different from a regular cigarette, but when he took a closer sniff, his eyes lit up. It was incredibly fragrant.
The person took a puff, and his face instantly displayed a look of bliss. He couldn’t help but continue puffing, reluctant to let go of the smoke. The people around him caught a whiff of the cigarette’s aroma and couldn’t resist taking a few deep breaths themselves.
“It smells amazing.”
“Why is it so fragrant? I’ve never smelled such a good cigarette before.”
“Give me one to smoke.”
“I want one too.”
“Hehe, remember who said he might look like a fool if he bought it? Now he wants mine. No way! If you want it, go buy it yourself.” The young man savored his cigarette, intentionally teasing the others and making them envious.
He had only intended to play a prank on them, but little did he know that they couldn’t resist the temptation. They swiftly rushed back to the supermarket and each bought a pack.
Then, standing in a row, they lit their cigarettes one by one and became completely intoxicated by the experience.
“Su Tobacco is truly Su Tobacco. These cigarettes are incredible,” One of them exclaimed.
“These cigarettes must be made from the highest-quality tobacco. No wonder they’re so expensive,” Another remarked.
Little did they know that the Fifty-Yuan Cigarettes they were buying were actually scraps from Shire Tobacco, the leftover and poorly processed remnants that were far inferior to the genuinely high-quality Shire Tobacco.
Of course, these scraps were relatively harmless to the body and had a much better taste than regular cigarettes.
“Su Tobacco cigarettes?” Zhou Zhiyun, on his way home from work, passed by a shop and saw an advertisement for Su Tobacco cigarettes and was unable to resist stopping in his tracks.
“Young man, how about buying a pack? Let me tell you the truth, these cigarettes are really something. Several people just bought them, and none of them regret it,” The shop owner smiled as he made his sales pitch.
“Give me a pack of the fifty-yuan ones,” Zhou Zhiyun thought for a moment and decided to buy a pack. As a fan of Su Jing, the discovery of Lantian Silver Thread Rice had pleasantly surprised him, and he wanted to support Su Tobacco as well.
After buying a pack, Zhou Zhiyun couldn’t wait to light one and, after taking a puff, he was captivated. He couldn’t help but keep puffing, wearing a look of pure bliss on his face.
In a small convenience store, the shop owner leisurely smoked a cigarette. The shop owner’s wife came over and tapped him, saying, “Even if this Su Tobacco cigarette tastes good, you shouldn’t smoke while working. And this is Fifty yuan a pack, that’s so expensive. We don’t have much money, and we need to save for our son’s college. Can’t you cut back?”
“You lack vision. I’m not smoking for enjoyment now, but for business,” The shop owner smiled as he spoke.
“Oh, please. It’s for business? Do you think I am that gullible?” The shop owner’s wife rolled her eyes at her husband as she ridiculed him.
“Don’t believe me? Just wait and see,” The shop owner confidently stated.
At that moment, during the rush hour after work, a group of people happened to pass by the convenience store. As they walked past the shop’s entrance, they all stopped in their tracks, sniffing vigorously and turning their heads toward the store.
“Boss, what cigarette are you smoking? It smells so good,” A middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask. Normally, no one would randomly ask someone else about the cigarette they were smoking, but this scent was simply too captivating.
“It’s Su Tobacco cigarettes,” The shop owner smiled faintly in reply.
“So this is the Su Tobacco cigarettes,” The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up when he heard the answer.
“It does smell amazing. Makes you want to keep puffing,” Another person chimed in.
“I’ve heard that this cigarette is relatively harmless to the body. I wonder if it’s true or not.”
“Why not buy a pack of the fifty-yuan ones and give them a try?”
Unable to resist, they all ended up buying a pack. As the shop owner calmly sold several more packs, he casually lit another cigarette. However, it didn’t take long for the same allure to attract several more customers.
This time, the shop owner’s wife finally surrendered and even praised her husband for the genius idea. Little did she know that the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief when her wife went back inside, thankful for his success.
Otherwise, the truth behind his inability to resist puffing away would have been exposed.
“Work’s over, work’s over!” Just as they finished work, Shao Le couldn’t wait to rush out.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Wang Xiao jokingly scolded.
“Brother Xiao, don’t you know? Brother Jing’s Su Tobacco cigarettes are on the market!” Shao Le excitedly exclaimed.
“Su Tobacco cigarettes? Is it that kind of tobacco?” Wang Xiao and Zhao Ming’s eyes lit up when they heard Shao Le’s words. They had once had the fortune of smoking cigarettes given by Su Jing when they were investigating criminals together.
The taste was unforgettable even now. Shao Le had even shamelessly begged Su Jing for some, but Su Jing had refused.
