A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the crowd, causing a small commotion at the ticket checkpoint.
At this moment, the culprit, Director Zhang, could only gasp for breath and couldn't even finish a sentence.
Not only that, but the cultural and tourism staff behind him were also like that, as if their energy had been drained by the supplies in their hands.
When the tourists saw a group of people with hunched backs, carrying unidentified objects in their hands...
In such a terrifying atmosphere, it would be extremely difficult for them not to be afraid.
The group of tourists hurriedly huddled together, glaring menacingly at Director Zhang and his entourage.
Faced with this situation, Director Zhang anxiously spoke up to clarify.
"We...we are from the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau! Don't be afraid...don't be afraid! We've brought you supplies."
Director Zhang was panting heavily and quickly put the two jugs of water he was holding on the ground.
Good heavens!
Who first proposed the spirit of the mountain porters?
Climbing Mount Tai is already exhausting enough; carrying these supplies up the mountain on top of that is practically defying nature.
After experiencing it firsthand, Director Zhang quietly decided that he must improve the welfare and benefits for the porters when he got back.
They have had such a tough time and deserve praise and reward.
When the cultural and tourism staff saw Director Zhang preparing to send out these supplies, a smile finally appeared on their faces.
Even if they were crawling on the ground, they would still distribute the supplies they had.
And so, the tourists who had been stuck at the ticket checkpoint for so long had their hands stuffed full.
Water, biscuits, instant noodles...
This is simply a gift from heaven.
Everyone took out their phones to record the scene and called it a heartwarming gift from the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism.
Little did they know that just as happy they were now, they would be just as sad in a few hours.
After all, they all brought water and food with them, and these so-called heartwarming gift packages only added to their burden.
Before long, they will experience what it means to feel 'warm and heart-wrenching'.
Meanwhile, after five hours of climbing, Qin Zian and Wang Jianye finally reached the summit of Mount Tai.
For Wang Jianye, this trip to Mount Tai was nothing short of a calamity.
First, the phrase "Little Mount Tai, you can handle it" and the encouragement from the surrounding tourists directly propelled Wang Jianye to a high position, neither here nor there.
He forced himself to continue along the way, just to avoid losing face as the director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.
The real danger only began after it had completely darkened.
Wang Jianye was already exhausted from climbing Mount Tai, and then he saw some kind of palace on the way, and a white shadow flew by.
Wang Jianye almost thought he was in the underworld and was really going to die on Mount Tai.
In any case, he has finally reached the top of the mountain and completed his mission.
Therefore, Wang Jianye simply lay down on the ground, wanting to get some rest.
"Old Wang, you're not up to par! You're already this tired after only five hours of climbing. With your physical condition, which involves exercising for two hours every day without fail, you shouldn't even be out of breath."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's mocking words, Wang Jianye helplessly turned over, as if he hadn't heard him at all.
It was just a little boasting, wasn't it?
Is it really necessary to keep dwelling on this?
However, to be fair, Wang Jianye really admired Qin Zi'an.
Many strong young men who climbed up were unable to hold on any longer.
But Qin Zian acted as if nothing had happened, as if he had only taken two steps.
That's incredible!
Wang Jianye sighed helplessly, silently contemplating that he would unilaterally break off relations with Qin Zi'an for half an hour.
Let's talk about it after he recovers...
"Director Qin, I heard that the director of the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau climbed Mount Tai overnight to welcome you. Is that true?"
Upon hearing the tourist's question, Qin Zian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Although they came to exchange ideas with the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism, they had not received any information that they would be climbing Mount Tai.
Therefore, Qin Zian waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's not true. Where did this rumor come from?"
"I saw it online! But there are just too many people in Mount Tai, the signal keeps coming and going. Look at this picture, aren't there people from the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism in there?"
The tourist handed his phone to Qin Zi'an, wanting him to verify the authenticity of the message.
If this is true, then today's trip to Mount Tai... will absolutely be an epic and explosive experience.
At the same time, Wang Jianye also came over and carefully examined the content on the screen.
When he saw Director Zhang panting as he climbed Mount Tai, he couldn't help but laugh.
But because he hadn't recovered quickly, a few laughs were followed by violent coughing.
Wang Jianye patted Qin Zian's arm excitedly and said with a smile, "Zian, this is Director Zhang from the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau. They actually came! Lu Di is truly hospitable!"
Even though Wang Jianye choked on his own laughter, his inner joy remained unaffected.
It wasn't that Wang Jianye felt particularly valued, but rather that he simply felt a surge of satisfaction.
This Mount Tai is so difficult to climb, even Wang Jianye is showing signs of pain from climbing it.
He was also worried that during his subsequent inspection tour in Shandong, he would be limping, which would damage the image of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
But now, all the staff from the Lu Di Culture and Tourism Bureau have come over, and Director Zhang is personally leading the team.
Director Zhang also experienced the hardships that Wang Jianye endured.
Wang Jianye declared that the beauty of shared depravity is the most beautiful thing in the world!
Not only was Wang Jianye happy, but Qin Zi'an was also quite happy.
It's something to be happy about that we've been able to bring this niche activity of climbing Mount Tai at night during the Qingming Festival to the public's attention.
Qin Zi'an also believed that the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai tonight would remain in everyone's hearts... for a very long time.
"Old Wang, Director Zhang has come to greet us so warmly, we can't be left behind, can we?"
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Wang Jianye's eyes darted around as he began to grasp the deeper meaning behind them.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, realizing they had reached a consensus on doing something funny.
