When Qin Zian saw Wang Jianye in the crowd, he thought he was hallucinating.

After all, Wang Jianye was really too persistent, sending Qin Zian messages at the same time every day.

For no other reason than that Wang Jianye was afraid that his trusted subordinates would become complacent and forget about him, their old leader who was far away in Harbin.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Jianye saw Qin Zian, he rushed over in one stride.

Wang Jianye opened his arms wide, eager to give Qin Zian a long-awaited hug.

Fortunately, Qin Zian reacted quickly and blocked it by turning his body to the side.

When Director Fu saw this, he thought that Qin Zian's fanatical fans had appeared at Tianshui Railway Station.

Seeing the situation, Director Fu wanted to shout for security guards to come and maintain order.

However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes recognized Wang Jianye faster than his brain could.

"Security! Quick... quick, come and greet Director Wang!"

Director Fu coughed awkwardly, then shook Wang Jianye's hand with a smile: "Director Wang, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up."

While exchanging pleasantries with Director Fu, Wang Jianye turned his gaze to Qin Zian.

Unfortunately, Qin Zian acted as if nothing had happened and didn't seem inclined to interrupt at all.

Immediately, Wang Jianye moved closer to Qin Zian and said with a smile.

"We've caused you so much trouble lately, how could we possibly trouble you again?"

"Director Wang, you flatter me! Xiao Qin is an exceptionally talented public relations officer. Since he joined us, Tianshui's cultural tourism industry has been thriving. Look how lively Tianshui Railway Station is! It's all thanks to Xiao Qin's new publicity plan."

Seeing the appreciative look on Director Fu's face, alarm bells started ringing in Wang Jianye's mind.

Are you crazy?

This is absolutely insane!

It's understandable that Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau spoils Qin Zi'an like this, but now all public institutions in Tianshui have joined the train station as a stage.

If this were in Harbin, Wang Jianye would feel overwhelmed just thinking about it, but Director Fu seemed to be enjoying it immensely.

Wang Jianye gave an awkward laugh and agreed twice, which made him understand Qin Zian's status in the eyes of Tianshui Culture and Tourism.

If things continue to develop this way, it's inevitable that they'll become so engrossed in their new home that they'll forget about everything else.

Thank goodness he took a detour to Tianshui, otherwise his precious little gold nugget would have really run away.

"Old Wang, what brings you to Tianshui?" Qin Zian asked softly.

“I was just about to tell you about this. The Shandong Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism has invited us to Zibo for barbecue. Zibo is the first city to become a popular online celebrity city, and I wanted to take you there to learn from it.”

As he spoke, Wang Jianye looked at Director Fu with a smile and asked cheerfully.

"Director Fu, would you like to come with us to Zibo City for barbecue?"

Faced with Wang Jianye's invitation, Director Fu could only politely decline with a smile.

After all, Tianshui's cultural tourism is currently in the spotlight, and Director Fu will definitely be stationed in Tianshui to oversee things.

At the same time, this problem has become apparent.

Director Fu was thinking of letting Qin Zi'an stay in Tianshui for a couple more days, so they could wait together for the most beautiful season in Tianshui.

But now, Wang Jianye has come to Tianshui in person and, without saying a word, wants to move him to the Shandong region...

In an instant, the smile on Director Fu's face vanished, replaced by a deep sense of melancholy.

"Director Wang, when are you planning to head to Shandong? If you're not in a hurry, you can take a trip around Tianshui. Visit our Tianshui Railway Station, try our Tianshui spicy hot pot, and we can exchange ideas and learn from each other."

At the warm invitation of Director Fu, Wang Jianye also planned to stay in Tianshui for two days to see how much gratifying changes Qin Zian had brought to Tianshui's culture and tourism.

When Wang Jianye walked past Tianshui Railway Station and saw the talent show performed by those public officials...

For some reason, Wang Jianye always had a creepy feeling, as if he had done something wrong.

It wasn't until he observed them closely that he realized those people's cold gazes were all directed at Qin Zi'an.

However, this is understandable.

These people were suddenly called out to perform their talents without any preparation, and they also had to face tens of thousands of tourists.

In short, this situation is no different from a public execution.

If Wang Jianye put himself in their shoes, he knew he wouldn't give Qin Zian a friendly look either.

Qin Zian indeed disagreed with this.

"Old Wang, don't look at me with such short-sighted eyes. Why don't you take a look at the performers on popular stages? Their smiles... are much happier than when they're at their jobs."

Wang Jianye chuckled twice and didn't argue with Qin Zian anymore.

No matter what he said, he couldn't win against Qin Zi'an.

But when Wang Jianye saw the Malatang owner's forced smile, he couldn't help but fix his gaze on Qin Zian.

Looking at his hesitant expression, it was as if he was saying, "Zi'an, you should just be a decent human being."

Wang Jianye was no stranger to Qin Zian's antics, but compared to what he was doing now... they were on a completely different level.

Especially the part about Director Fu playing a witch, that was so bad it would wake you up in the middle of the night.

Following this cultural and tourism exchange, Wang Jianye made a decisive decision.

run!

Given the various cultural and tourism initiatives Qin Zi'an has come up with, walking is no longer feasible; they'll have to resort to running.

It wasn't that Wang Jianye was afraid Qin Zi'an would face retaliation in Tianshui, but rather that he was worried Qin Zi'an wouldn't want to leave Tianshui.

After all, the Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau had given him unlimited support for his publicity plan and had treated him with the highest courtesy.

Wang Jianye put himself in that position and thought about it; what if it were him...

Who knows, he might actually stay and settle down in Tianshui.

Anyway, they were all going to Shandong together, so it didn't matter whether they left early or late.

In that case, it's better to leave sooner rather than later, lest things get complicated.

And so, Wang Jianye took Qin Zian away from Tianshui overnight and embarked on the journey to Lu.

"Good heavens! You're rushing around like this, anyone who didn't know better would think you're here to steal something," Qin Zian said with a laugh.

"What do you know?" Wang Jianye sighed lightly, then said righteously, "Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, we can't possibly stay in Tianshui for the holiday. Director Fu is so hospitable, he might even cook you a couple of side dishes... that would be too presumptuous!"

"Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've got quite a few twisted theories." Qin Zian retorted dismissively, but a small idea flashed through his mind, "However..."
