In this era, tourism is no longer just about traveling; it's about meeting the diverse needs of tourists.

Tourists' most basic needs are nothing more than good food, beautiful scenery, and experiencing the local customs and culture.

And in this process, taking photos and checking in is indispensable.

As the saying goes, the ultimate goal of travel is taking photos.

So, what lies at the end of the photo shoot?

Following this idea, Qin Zi'an decided to combine food and scenery to create a series of cultural and creative food products.

This is different from the sweet tofu pudding that caters to the taste of small potatoes in the south, and from the unconventional frozen pear dishes...

Qin Zi'an uses food to showcase the beauty of Harbin, providing tourists with material for taking photos and checking in.

Qin Zi'an turned the most famous landmark in Harbin, the St. Sophia Cathedral, into a cake.

Its exterior design is exactly the same as that of the Hagia Sophia, and the cake itself tastes delicious.

In addition, Qin Zi'an also created cultural and creative ice cream for Songhua River, cultural and creative milk tea for Central Street, and cultural and creative chocolates for Ice and Snow World...

By deeply integrating food and cultural tourism, a series of exquisite cultural and creative food products have been created.

Qin Zian has now compiled the methods for making cultural and creative foods into a book, and is just waiting to present and report on it at this meeting.

If the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau can collaborate with major businesses, Harbin's cultural and creative food will surely become a hit online, once again attracting tourists from all over the country to visit Harbin.

Before long, Director Wang Jianye arrived at the conference room and greeted Qin Zi'an with a smile.

After Wang Jianye took his seat, he quickly stated the agenda for today's meeting.

"The main reason for calling everyone here today is to discuss preparations for New Year's Day. According to data from the Transportation Bureau, there will be at least two million tourists during New Year's Day."

"This is an unprecedented number, and it's the first time our Ice City has welcomed so many tourists. The prosperity of Ice City's tourism industry today is mainly thanks to Zi'an."

"Therefore, before the meeting begins, I would like to announce something. Comrade Qin Zi'an will assume the position of Director of Online Publicity at the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, and will be fully responsible for the publicity work of Harbin tourism."

When Wang Jianye announced this news, it immediately caused an uproar among the audience.

Director of Online Publicity?

Publicity Director?

director???

All told, Qin Zian has only been working at Bingcheng for less than half a month.

Putting aside everything else, the people who joined at the same time as Qin Zi'an are still in their internship period.

However, because of his song "Snowy Ice City", he was promoted to a permanent position ahead of schedule by Wang Jianye.

After all, Qin Zian's abilities are evident here, and the tourism industry in Harbin is gradually prospering.

Naturally, no one would gossip about it behind their backs.

But now, Wang Jianye actually wants to promote Qin Zi'an to the position of director...

This is a promotion of three ranks.

According to the promotion rules of the Dragon Kingdom, it would take at least three years to climb to this position.

Many people spend their entire lives trying to reach that position, but Qin Zian achieved it in just half a month.

For a moment, the directors in the conference room looked at each other, their faces extremely grim.

In particular, Director Zhang, the current publicity director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, had his dissatisfaction reach its peak.

From the moment Qin Zian was interviewed, Director Zhang didn't think highly of him, believing that a celebrity like him couldn't do a job within the system.

Even though Qin Zi'an attracted many tourists to the Ice City with "The Snowy Ice City".

But Director Zhang always felt that Qin Zi'an was all show and no substance, completely lacking in knowledge.

Why do tourists from the south come to Harbin?

Isn't it all because of Qin Zi'an's face?

If one can be quick and cautious just by relying on a single person, then what does all their hard work over the years amount to?

Director Zhang clenched his fist and said coldly, "Director Wang, I think your idea is ill-considered. Qin Zi'an has only been in office for less than half a month. He still needs to hone his skills at the grassroots level and accumulate more seniority over the next few years."

After Director Zhang uttered those words, the other directors echoed his sentiments.

They've worked their way up to this position over the years, and this might be the highest they can ever reach in their lifetime.

Qin Zian, a newcomer who has only been with the company for a short time, wants to be on equal footing with them.

In any case, these directors would absolutely not agree.

"Director Wang, we all know you admire Xiao Qin, but promotions in our country have a very strict system. If word gets out, what will people outside think of us?"

"That's right! I admit that Qin Zi'an has indeed attracted tourists, but the main reason why tourists are willing to stay in Harbin is our delicious food and beautiful scenery."

"Director Wu, your words are inappropriate. Xiao Qin has been busy these past few days, wholeheartedly promoting the unique features of our Ice City, and has also handled the crisis in a timely manner, salvaging the image of Ice City."

"If it weren't for our Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau standing behind Qin Zi'an, how would he have handled the crisis? With his methods of publicity, anyone could have done it; there was absolutely no need for him to be promoted to director."

"To put it nicely, it's publicity; to put it bluntly... isn't it just about eating, drinking, and playing with guests? Our Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau is an official department, representing the image of the Dragon Kingdom, so it's best to keep a low profile."

As a result, Qin Zian's promotion was met with strong opposition.

Although some people spoke up for Qin Zi'an, it was ultimately no match for the resistance and disapproval from that side.

Faced with the opposition from the directors, Wang Jianye's face darkened.

He had anticipated this whole thing even when Wang Jianye was preparing to promote Qin Zi'an.

Admittedly, promotions within the Dragon Kingdom's system are governed by strict regulations.

However, it is entirely reasonable and compliant to promote individuals who have performed exceptionally well.

Harbin is still Harbin; it hasn't changed much.

No matter how much effort the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau put in, very few tourists from other places come to Harbin.

Even the locals of Harbin couldn't stand the cold and flocked to the warmer south.

It wasn't until Qin Zi'an appeared that the long-standing coldness and desolation of the Ice City was broken.

Based on this alone, Wang Jianye felt that Qin Zian should be promoted and given a raise.

Honestly, Wang Jianye felt that the position of Director of Online Publicity was beneath Qin Zi'an.

But there was nothing he could do; this was the highest honor he could bestow at this stage.

Although Wang Jianye is the head of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, this is not a decision he can make on a whim.

Prior to this, Wang Jianye had in-depth exchanges and discussions with several superiors before finally deciding to promote Qin Zian to the position of director, breaking with precedent.

Now that the appointment letters have been issued, no matter how much those people make a fuss, it will be to no avail.
