Chapter 22: Harbin Promotional Video Released, Locals Break Down Their Defenses

The meeting held by the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has finally come to a successful conclusion.

Qin Zian was successfully promoted to the position of director, and his colleagues recognized him more and more.

Director Wang Jianye, needless to say, simply told Qin Zi'an to go ahead and do it, and to just ask him directly if he needed anything.

Qin Zian did not bask in the joy of his promotion, but immediately took action.

To ensure that the children could learn about the newly transformed Ice City as soon as possible, Qin Zi'an immediately started making a video.

To make the changes more obvious to the audience, Qin Zian even provided a before-and-after comparison.

The outdoor staircase has been covered with a thick carpet, so people no longer have to worry about slipping and falling while walking on it.

The once deserted streets have been transformed into warm pavilions, providing a place for pedestrians to rest and escape the cold.

The scenic area is no longer just about beautiful scenery; it has also launched similar cultural and creative food products that are both visually appealing and delicious.

As one stark contrast after another emerges, viewers can clearly see the changes in the Ice City and feel the city's sincere hospitality.

The promotional video immediately sparked widespread discussion upon its release.

"Holy crap! Harbin, you really are... I'm going to cry! If I don't go to Harbin for New Year's Day, I'll slap myself twice."

"These creative food items are so beautiful!!! I can't even imagine how great they would be for taking photos with them."

"Family, I'm really tempted. I've never been treated like this when I traveled before; I was always just ripped off."

"Erbin, you're spoiling this little potato rotten! Compared to you, we locals look like we were adopted."

"Are you sure the prices of the cultural and creative food in Harbin are not wrong? The St. Sophia Cathedral cake is so beautiful, yet it's only 58 yuan?! No joke, if this were in Shanghai, it would cost 588 yuan."

"Carpets are laid out on the streets?! Impossible! I've lived in Harbin for over thirty years and have never seen anything like this. The Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau is definitely faking it!"

As the promotional video from the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau continues to gain popularity, more and more people are joining the discussion.

It can be said that the online sentiment is gradually converging, and people can be roughly divided into two groups.

Netizens from other places felt the sincerity of Harbin and their desire to travel to Harbin grew stronger.

Local netizens in Harbin, however, did not believe it, and many even said they would go out to expose the fraud.

But in reality, these local netizens were somewhat on edge.

They had lived in Harbin for so many years and had never seen such a large-scale event.

Slippery roads are normal in snowy weather; just be careful when walking.

Even if you fall, just get up and keep walking. Nobody is that fragile or delicate.

Therefore, most locals in Harbin feel that the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau is just creating a gimmick.

Even if carpets are laid on outdoor staircases, it's only in high-traffic areas like Central Avenue.

But when they stepped outside and saw that the staircases on the nearby streets were all carpeted...

They froze on the spot, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Has the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau really laid carpets on all the outdoor staircases?!

More importantly, the carpet is laid out in a rather unique way.

Half of it was covered with carpet, while the other half remained bare.

Needless to say, the locals already understand...

The city of Bingcheng still cares about its locals; fearing they might not be used to walking on carpeted steps, they even left a section empty.

As a result, all the people of Harbin were completely taken aback.

When Xiangzi, an internet celebrity from Harbin, saw the carpeted staircase, he was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Harbin's antics.

But he didn't follow the crowd and simply laugh it off.

He immediately turned on his phone's camera and captured this historic moment.

"Bingcheng, what are you doing? So you know snowy and slippery? When I broke my tail and was bedridden for half a month, you didn't lay down a carpet for me!"

"When these little potatoes from the South arrived, you were worried they'd slip and fall, so Kuku laid out a carpet. What about all the falls we've made over the years? Does that mean we're resilient?!"

Xiangzi sighed, then walked towards the steps where there was no carpet: "Actually, Erbin still loves us locals. They were worried we wouldn't be used to walking on it, so they left half of it untouched... Waaaaaah!"

For the sake of the video's entertainment value, Xiangzi started crying as he spoke.

That's why Xiangzi is a well-known internet celebrity; he immediately grasped the hottest current events.

After he posted the video, it quickly attracted widespread attention.

A large number of netizens gathered in Xiangzi's comment section and began to make fun of him.

Comments such as "Your mom doesn't want you anymore~" are constantly emerging...

This moderate use of memes added a lot of fun to the event.

Xiangzi was overjoyed as he watched his video data steadily climb.

He seemed to have grasped the secret to generating traffic, and was ready to strike while the iron was hot and reap another wave of traffic.

Xiangzi posted a pinned comment under the video.

Xiangzi: Brothers, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground in Harbin today, I'm going to find Qin Zi'an. I want to ask him, this so-called "Harbin City Ambassador," what's going on here?

Undoubtedly, Xiangzi's statement attracted the attention of many netizens.

In the past, netizens would just laugh it off.

After all, Xiangzi wasn't the first Harbin resident to break down, but his popularity was just a bit higher.

But those locals who were emotionally distressed mostly just commented in the relevant comment section or filmed an offline video.

Xiangzi was the first to express his desire to speak with the Harbin authorities and demand an explanation.

Moreover, Xiangzi chose to talk to Qin Zi'an, who was at the height of his fame.

Needless to say, netizens from all over the world are already incredibly excited, eager to see the scene unfold in the next second.

Xiangzi wasn't just talking; he actually took action.

After making inquiries from various sources, he actually found out where Qin Zian was.

Xiangzi not only rushed to his destination immediately, but also shared the latest situation with netizens in real time.

Xiangzi: Brothers! I'm a big shot in Harbin, and I've located Qin Zian. I'm going to find him and get to the bottom of this. Tune in to my live stream, and I'll bring you live from the scene!!!
