She was just about to speak when she saw Lu Qing coming over with gentle eyes. He raised his hand and gently touched the top of her head.

Lu Qing's appearance seemed to press the "one-click restart" button for Shen Qiqi.

His gentle eyes brushed across her slightly tired face like a spring breeze, and the touch of his fingertips on the top of her head instantly soothed her inner anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His low voice sounded in her ears, like a reassurance, making her feel at ease instantly.

He held her in his arms, hugged her tightly, and felt the warmth coming from her body.

His aura enveloped her, making her feel extremely safe.

Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, feeling his warm embrace. The little flame that had just been hit by reality was ignited again, and this time it burned even more vigorously!

She rubbed lazily in his arms like a kitten with its fur stroked.

She raised her head.

"Honey, I have an idea!" she said excitedly, with a cunning glint in her eyes.

She took Lu Qing's hand and couldn't wait to share her thoughts.

"It's no use just talking about it. We have to let them see it for themselves! How about I invite them to visit a nearby tourist village so they can see for themselves!"

Lu Qing nodded. He knew very well that no matter how good the theory was, it was not as shocking as practice.

The next day, Shen Qiqi went door to door to invite the villagers who opposed tourism development. When she told the villager Liu the news, he was stunned and almost dropped the hoe in his hand.

Other villagers also expressed shock. What is this little girl up to?

Although everyone thought Shen Qiqi's idea was a bit "outrageous", out of curiosity and more of a desire to see her embarrass herself, they finally agreed.

So, despite the villagers' "reluctance", a tractor full of villagers slowly drove out of the village and headed towards the unknown "tourist inspection road".

The wheels rolled, carrying the villagers' doubts and expectations about the future, as well as the meaningful smile on Shen Qiqi's lips.

The tractor rumbled along, carrying a load of "old stubborn people" to the neighboring Taohua Village.

As soon as they got off the bus, the villagers were stunned by the lively scene before them!

The bustling tourists, the dazzling array of special snacks, and the happy smiles on the villagers' faces are completely different from their impression of rural life!

Villager Liu opened his eyes wide, forgot to smoke the pipe in his hand, and opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. This...

Is it really a rural area?

The other villagers also looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their faces full of disbelief.

Several old ladies were even more excited like children, pulling Shen Qiqi to ask questions: "Qiqi, this... is this really a rural area?" "How come they are so rich?"

Shen Qiqi looked at the shocked expressions of the villagers, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said to herself: Humph, now you know how powerful it is, right?

I’ve said it a long time ago, there is great potential for tourism development!

In the next few days, Shen Qiqi took the villagers to inspect the tourism projects in Taohua Village. From homestays to farm stays, from picking gardens to handicraft workshops, each project opened the villagers' eyes.

They saw with their own eyes how the villagers became rich through tourism, and experienced firsthand the economic benefits brought by tourists.

After returning to the village, the villagers' attitudes took a 180-degree turn.

The previous voices of opposition disappeared, replaced by heated discussions and positive actions.

"Qiqi, when will the tourism development you mentioned start?" Villager Liu rubbed his hands and asked expectantly, as if Shen Qiqi was his reborn parent.

Other villagers also gathered around, talking about their ideas: "My house is big, we can turn it into a B&B!" "The vegetables I grow are great, tourists will definitely like them!"

Shen Qiqi looked at the villagers' enthusiasm and was overjoyed.

She knew that she had finally succeeded in "turning over" these "old stubborn people".

However, despite being happy, a difficult problem was placed before Shen Qiqi: money!

A good cook cannot cook without rice; without funds, everything is empty talk.

"Qiqi, tourism development is a money-burning business. Do you... do you have enough money?" Village Chief Sun asked worriedly, puffing on his pipe.

The smile on Shen Qiqi's face froze instantly. This...

What a fatal problem!

She bit her lip, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely find a way!"

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Shen Qiqi sat at the table, frowning at the pile of documents.

She knew that to attract investors, she had to come up with an attractive project plan.

"Knock, knock, knock..." A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Qiqi, you haven't slept yet?" Lu Qing came in with a cup of hot milk. Seeing her worried look, he touched her head with concern, "Don't be too tired, go to bed early."

Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked into Lu Qing's gentle eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

She took a deep breath, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Hubby, I've got an idea!"

She picked up the plan on the table and handed it to Lu Qing: "Take a look, how about this?"

Lu Qing took the plan and looked through it carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Qiqi, you are such a genius!"

"Tomorrow, I'll go find Boss Zhang!" Shen Qiqi closed the plan.
