As Grandpa Zhao expressed his frustrations about using a tricycle to transport passengers, the atmosphere at the scene gradually improved.

The staff from the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau seized the opportunity to explain the purpose of their trip.

When Grandpa Zhao learned that they wanted him to promote Zibo City barbecue, he instinctively took a step back in fear.

The thought of how he had attracted so many diners by driving his tricycle to pick up passengers a couple of days ago made him afraid to do anything rash again.

Nowadays, Grandpa Zhao doesn't even dare to go out of his own front door, let alone see off other people.

Grandpa Zhao waved his hands repeatedly, refusing, "No, no, no! I will never do such a despicable thing again."

"Uncle Zhao, how is this a bad thing? We just asked you to promote Zibo barbecue and introduce other delicious barbecue restaurants in Zibo to tourists from other places. We don't want you to cause trouble for other restaurants and make them resentful."

Grandpa Zhao nodded, and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

But soon, Grandpa Zhao turned his gaze to Qin Zian, and his tone was tinged with annoyance.

"So you know that seeing customers off at someone else's shop will make them enemies?"

Qin Zian waved his hand and said fearlessly, "Uncle Zhao, you're wrong! I didn't encourage you to send customers to other shops. I just saw that you had too much food to grill, so I brought a few tourists over for barbecue. Cherishing food is everyone's responsibility."

Qin Zian's words were so confident and certain that they completely baffled Grandpa Zhao.

Grandpa Zhao wanted to speak up and refute several times, but he couldn't find any reason to do so.

Okay, okay!

It turns out that he, Old Zhao, was just imitating Xi Shi and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

However, Grandpa Zhao didn't dwell on the past.

In any case, this task of promoting barbecue in Zibo City was assigned by the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and provincial leaders even came directly to my home.

Putting aside how prestigious this matter would be, the mere fact that he could legitimately close his business would be enough to make Grandpa Zhao happy for quite some time.

Immediately, Grandpa Zhao patted his chest and assured everyone, "Don't worry, leaders, I will definitely promote Zibo's barbecue and sell all the well-regarded barbecue restaurants here. I don't need to prepare anything; we can just go out and promote it."

Seeing that Grandpa Zhao looked confident and ready to go out, Qin Zian blocked his way.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zian took a bag from the staff behind him and handed it to Grandpa Zhao with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao, this is the new equipment that the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau prepared for you. Put this on and then we'll go out."

Grandpa Zhao instinctively took the bag, but a hint of panic appeared on his face.

Even though Grandpa Zhao didn't understand the internet, after interacting with tourists from all over the country...

He had gained some understanding of Qin Zi'an, more or less.

Especially after seeing the video of the director of the Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau playing the role of a witch on the street, Grandpa Zhao also felt great respect for Qin Zi'an.

This guy is the kind of person who dares to go after the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, so it goes without saying that he wouldn't be so lenient towards an ordinary citizen like Lao Zhao.

Even without looking at the clothes in the bag, Grandpa Zhao understood that this so-called equipment was definitely not in line with his image.

"Thank you all for your kindness, especially for picking out an outfit for me. But I'm used to wearing old-fashioned shirts, and this suits my image. This outfit..."

Grandpa Zhao smiled and stuffed the bag back into Qin Zi'an's hands: "You should take it back! Serving the people is what we Chinese people should do, without asking for anything in return."

Faced with Grandpa Zhao's speech, the staff of the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau were all moved by his ideological awareness.

Even Wang Jianye, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Shandong truly lives up to its reputation as a province for civil service exams; even the old man's linguistic skills are so impressive."

It's a good thing Uncle Zhao doesn't work for the government; otherwise, with his eloquence... his position would definitely be quite high.

Unlike those who get caught up in self-pity, Qin Zian doesn't buy into Grandpa Zhao's act.

The old man was sweating profusely, clearly afraid that he might have added something dangerous to the new equipment.

Although Qin Zi'an is indeed the kind of person who likes to do unexpected things, he can't do it well with just anyone.

"Uncle Zhao, this isn't serving the people, it's clearly a sign of distrust!"

"No way! Don't talk nonsense. Every word I said was from the bottom of my heart," Grandpa Zhao said righteously.

"Okay, then change your clothes."

As he spoke, Qin Zian stuffed the bag back into Grandpa Zhao's hands.

In an instant, Grandpa Zhao's eyes, which had been so firm as if he were about to join the Party... showed a slight wavering.

But Qin Zi'an has already said that, and there are so many leaders watching around.

Even if Grandpa Zhao really didn't want to wear this new set of equipment, he had to grit his teeth and put it on.

Grandpa Zhao sighed silently to himself, then reluctantly carried the clothes back into the house.

Looking at Grandpa Zhao's lonely figure, Director Zhang said thoughtfully.

"Xiao Qin, I think Grandpa Zhao is quite right. The public already likes his approachable style. Won't they feel uncomfortable if we suddenly change Grandpa Zhao's image?"

"Don't worry! Netizens have seen a lot, even if they're not used to it... they'll adjust themselves."

After hearing Qin Zian's answer, Wang Jianye nodded in agreement.

Wang Jianye has seen it all very clearly over the past six months.

Regardless of how much trouble Qin Zi'an caused, the netizens' ability to create trouble is by no means inferior.

You know, netizens in Shandong are clamoring that their Shandong Culture and Tourism Bureau Director can climb Mount Tai upside down and show off a hundred pancake rolls with scallions in one go...

When Wang Jianye thought about these things and then looked back at Director Zhang of the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau beside him, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Director Wang, what's wrong with you? Your face is suddenly so red."

Wang Jianye coughed lightly and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing at all."

"Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom, and you're still saying nothing's wrong?" Qin Zian teased with a smile.

"Yeah, it's nothing."

Suddenly receiving so much attention, even the funniest challenges from netizens left Wang Jianye with no smiles; instead, he felt like he wanted to die.

Fortunately, Grandpa Zhao had already changed his clothes, drawing everyone's attention away...
