"Just you wait! By tomorrow noon at the latest, airfares and train tickets from all over the country to Harbin will drop significantly," Wang Jianye said smugly.
"Director Wang, you're really fast! Impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianye's smile froze. He felt that Qin Zian's words had a hidden meaning... as if he were implying something about him.
"Director Wang, what I said earlier about contributing to my hometown is true. I have already transferred three million to the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau's account. Harbin is too cold; the little potatoes from the south won't be able to stand it. We still need to do a good job of keeping warm."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Wang Jianye was stunned.
Three million??
When Wang Jianye first heard that Qin Zian was going to take out money to subsidize him, he thought that he could only come up with a few hundred thousand yuan at most.
But he never expected that Qin Zian would spend three million in one go.
Wang Jianye has worked at the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau for many years and has never seen such a large sum of money.
At this moment, only nine words were in Wang Jianye's mind.
Damn it, this kid tricked me.
But no matter what, Qin Zi'an's actions were all for the good of Bingcheng.
Wang Jianye knew all too well the current state of culture and tourism in Harbin.
They also accept donations from the public on a regular basis and use the funds properly.
Since Qin Zi'an has gone to such lengths, Wang Jianye naturally won't hold Bingcheng back.
"Zi'an, then on behalf of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, I thank you for your kindness. Tomorrow, I'll have someone start taking action..."
"No need for such formalities. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"You've been busy all day, you need to rest. Come home with me for dinner, your sister-in-law is a great cook."
This completely changed Qin Zi'an's image in Wang Jianye's mind, transforming him from a capable assistant into a good younger brother.
"Not today. Tomorrow I plan to promote our Northeast bathing culture and expand the tourist attractions in Harbin."
"Alright, alright! Then you should go back and rest. If you need anything, just let me know."
After a brief farewell, Qin Zian left.
Looking at Qin Zian's retreating figure, Wang Jianye couldn't suppress the admiration on his face.
He had a premonition that Qin Zian's future was absolutely limitless.
Such a talented young man has appeared in the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, so we must keep him firmly in our grasp no matter what.
...
The next morning, Qin Zian stood in front of the largest bathhouse in Harbin and started a live broadcast using the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau's account.
Under Qin Zian's management, the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau gained six million followers overnight, becoming a leading cultural and tourism account in China.
With such a strong fan base, and given that Harbin was already a popular city, countless viewers flocked to the live stream as soon as it started.
The audience was incredibly excited when they saw Qin Zi'an doing a live stream, and they all started typing away to interact with him.
Qin Zian watched the barrage of comments scrolling wildly in the live stream and happily interacted with them.
"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast room of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau. I am here in the largest bathhouse in Harbin. Today, I will take you to experience the bathing culture of Northeast China up close, and try my best to make the southern potatoes accept and fall in love with the bathing culture of Northeast China."
Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream immediately became agitated.
The bathing culture in Northeast China has always been a controversial topic.
You can't live without the people you like, and you can't accept the people you don't like at all.
Sure enough, a huge controversy erupted in the live broadcast room of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.
"What Northeast bathing culture? Isn't it just a group of people taking a bath together naked... Ugh! Just thinking about it is hard to accept."
"Friends in the South, you really should try this; it's an absolutely unique experience. Trust me, you'll love getting a body scrub."
"Even if I die, I will never step into a bathhouse again—this is the last bit of pride and dignity of a southerner."
"As a southerner who came to Northeast China for university, I sincerely recommend everyone to try getting a body scrub. As long as you overcome your mental barriers, you will experience unprecedented joy."
"I'd rather not have the pleasure of being naked!!! As a human being, I should never let a stranger see my body."
Even though some bath enthusiasts are recommending it, many tourists from the south say they can't accept it.
Qin Zian naturally knew that this matter would not be easy, but he was still confident.
Regardless, let's get them into the bathhouse first.
As for scrubbing people in the bathhouse, once you're inside, there's basically no escaping it.
Qin Zian was lost in thought when a sweet voice interrupted him.
"Excuse me, are you Qin Zi'an?"
The person who arrived was wearing a light pink down jacket and a fluffy panda hat.
With just one glance, Qin Zian knew that the other party was Little Potato from the South.
"What's wrong, Little Potato?" Qin Zian asked kindly.
"I'm not a little potato, my name is Chen Jiaran! I'm very tall, okay? I'm 1.61 meters tall, and..."
Qin Zian's simple greeting, "Little Potato," completely broke Chen Jiaran's defenses.
She went on and on, arguing that she wasn't short, and gave a long list of examples.
Just looking at her adorable appearance makes one smile.
"Don't even mention you're 1.61 meters tall, even if you were 1.81 meters tall, you'd still be a small potato from the South."
"Why?" Chen Jiaran asked, bewildered.
"Because our Harbin cherishes you, it's a term of endearment."
Chen Jiaran snorted coldly, her face full of disbelief: "No, you must be mocking us for being short."
"No way! In Northeast China, we call short people 'cuobazi,' 'dichuliu,' or 'aibazhuozi.' Look, doesn't this little potato look quite cute in the middle?"
After hearing Qin Zian's explanation, Chen Jiaran nodded blankly, looking incredibly cute.
At that moment, the viewers in the live stream were amused by Qin Zian's words.
As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, and there was this little potato next to me...
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Zian extended an invitation to her directly.
"Little potato, come on! I'll show you the bathing culture of Northeast China."
