"If Director Qin hadn't stepped forward to refute the rumors, I would have really believed those netizens' nonsense. Director Qin is like a scale; his presence symbolizes fairness. I look forward to tomorrow's live challenge, where he'll give those disheartened tourists a good slap in the face."

"Some people are really going too far. They lack the skills themselves but blame the organizers. As long as you get the certificate, you can get the top reward. It just means you can't unlock the hidden projects. Why would a large official organization like the Harbin Cultural and Transportation Bureau need to lie to you?"

"Is it possible that the hidden event doesn't exist at all, and is just a smokescreen? Otherwise, why can't so many tourists activate it? Let me make a bold guess: this project is like the 'cut a knife' feature on Pinduoduo—you always have a chance, but you can never actually get it."

"What a joke! There's a big house in the northeast corner of the 'Cultural Matching' area that's the location of the hidden event. It's just that no one has gotten a perfect score, so it's been locked. Some people are just too confident and unwilling to admit that they're just mediocre."

Wang Jianye sat in front of his computer, frantically refreshing social media pages. Every new comment that appeared was like a tidal wave, washing away the previous doubts and misunderstandings.

Seeing the wind finally shift, Wang Jianye couldn't help but smile, and the joy in his heart was like a gushing spring, impossible to contain.

Wang Jianye turned to look at Qin Zian, who was busy preparing, his eyes full of admiration and expectation, as if he could see the dawn of success for this live broadcast challenge.

"Zi'an, it seems your move was really brilliant! The netizens are really getting into it this time, all eager to challenge you tomorrow."

Wang Jianye said with a smile, his tone revealing a sense of ease, as if all the pressure had vanished at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zian looked up and smiled slightly, but he did not stop working.

To ensure the success of tomorrow's live broadcast challenge, Qin Zian meticulously checked every detail of the broadcasting equipment, from the camera to the microphone, from the lighting to the set design; he thoroughly and carefully re-examined everything.

“Old Wang, it’s certainly a good thing that netizens are so positive and enthusiastic, but I’m still a little worried.” Qin Zi’an suddenly stopped his work and turned to look at Wang Jianye. “Although many netizens are now on our side, there are still some who are questioning us. If they find out that the room where the hidden activities are taking place is empty, then the credibility of our Bingcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau will be ruined.”

Upon hearing Qin Zian's reminder, Wang Jianye's heart tightened, and he became alert.

He realized that this live-streaming challenge could not completely dispel the doubts in the minds of netizens, and that the test for the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau had only just begun.

Just as Qin Zian said, if netizens find out that it's an empty house... then we're really doomed.

“Yes, yes, yes! Zian, you’re so meticulous.” Wang Jianye nodded in agreement. “We need to have someone go over there and set up that empty room to ensure our live broadcast goes perfectly. Our hidden activity area isn’t a ruse; it’s a real challenge and a source of glory, waiting for the right person to unveil its secrets.”

Without any warning, Wang Jianye fell right into the trap set by Qin Zian.

He originally thought it was just a simple exchange between the two of them, but he didn't expect that Qin Zian had already laid a trap, waiting for him to step into it.

After all, Qin Zian's goals and Wang Jianye's goals were completely opposite.

Unfortunately, Wang Jianye was so excited by the change in the wind that he completely forgot about the need to be wary of Qin Zi'an.

Qin Zian's smile deepened at this moment, his eyes gleaming with a cunning light, revealing a desire and anticipation for unknown challenges.

However, Qin Zian was not satisfied with such a small victory, after all, this was only part of his plan, an insignificant beginning.

Qin Zian gently rubbed his fingertips, his mind like that of a chess player strategizing on a chessboard, already planning his next move.

He planned to set a new trap for Wang Jianye, luring this seasoned director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau into his carefully laid scheme once again.

"Old Wang, you're so wise. If we're going to put on an act, we might as well go all the way. I happen to have a few bottles of good wine, so I'll bring them over tomorrow to make it look like we're doing something good. After the live stream ends tomorrow, the two of us will drink until we drop."

Qin Zian's voice carried a hint of mockery; his words were like chess pieces cleverly placed on a chessboard, waiting only for Wang Jianye's response.

Wang Jianye's brows furrowed instantly, his face filled with displeasure.

As the director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, he was Qin Zi'an's superior and should have taken care of Qin Zi'an.

However, this crisis of trust was caused by Wang Jianye's failure to handle the matter properly.

Only now, thanks to Qin Zian's skillful planning, has the public's trust been restored.

Wang Jianye didn't even know how to thank Qin Zi'an properly yet, so it would be too unfair to ask him to spend money on wine now.

"Zian, you've already helped me a lot this time, how can I let you spend money on wine again? Don't worry about the wine, I'll take care of everything for you." Wang Jianye's words were firm. He knew Qin Zian's intentions, but he didn't want him to spend any more money on him.

Qin Zian's lips curled up slightly. Knowing Wang Jianye's temper, he didn't play along with his little game of refusing.

Since Wang Jianye has taken the initiative to bring wine, Qin Zian's goal is definitely not just a bottle or two of good wine.
