As soon as the name Qin Zian appeared in the young man's mind, his eyes lit up instantly.
Qin Zi'an?
Could it really be Qin Zi'an?!
Although the young man was skeptical, he also believed in his heart that he was capable of doing such a thing.
After all, Qin Zi'an is the kind of person who dares to send the director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau to the heavens and push the giant panda Hua Hua into the position of director.
Compared to these two bizarre incidents, creating a self-service fruit bar isn't such a big deal after all.
Thinking it over, the young man went online and found two photos of Qin Zi'an, then handed his phone to the old lady.
"Grandma, is this the kind young man you were talking about?"
The old lady stared at the photo for a long time, her old eyes blurry as she looked it over, her brows furrowed.
Seeing the old lady like this, the young man thought he was overthinking things.
Just as he was about to put his phone away, the old lady suddenly burst out laughing and said cheerfully.
"Yes! It's him, he's the one who came up with the fruit buffet idea. Do you know where he is? I was thinking of thanking him in person."
"It really is Director Qin!" the young man exclaimed in surprise, then said, "Grandma, let me help you go look for him."
Without looking up, the young man started running, ready to search for Qin Zi'an.
It's important to understand that Qin Zian is the key to traffic generation on the modern internet.
If he can get a picture of Qin Zi'an, he might just go from a blogger with 500,000 followers to a blogger with millions of followers.
So the young man put in a lot of effort to interview Qin Zi'an about his idea of starting a fruit buffet.
Unfortunately, the young man circled around Zhangjiajie but didn't see Qin Zi'an.
After returning to the hotel late at night, the young man was incredibly disappointed.
He sighed repeatedly as he looked at the hundreds of unusable shots in the camera.
But regardless, since we've already come all this way, we're bound to make a video about it.
Although the young man did not find Qin Zian, his trip was not entirely fruitless.
From the South Korean grandmothers conquering Zhangjiajie to the old lady's self-service fruit stall, these are all things worth watching.
Therefore, the young man compiled the footage he had shot and edited it into a video about his trip to Zhangjiajie.
"Having traveled all over China's famous mountains, this time we came to Zhangjiajie in Hunan. I thought I would be traveling with college student special forces soldiers, but I didn't expect... it was a group of old men and women, and they were even old men and women from South Korea."
"Look at these energetic old men, I almost fell behind them. No way! Chinese people never give up, I'll risk my pride to climb over them."
"After I came down the mountain, I discovered an astonishing scene. The once desolate fruit stall suddenly became incredibly popular, and was besieged by the locals. I looked at the dense Korean characters, but I still couldn't decipher their meaning."
"A fruit buffet for 66 yuan? Hey! Don't rush to criticize. The old lady said it's free for us Chinese. It's not for anything else, but to thank the kind young man, Director Qin."
The young man pieced together his experiences of visiting Zhangjiajie, unfolding the events one by one in chronological order.
Although the pace was a bit slow at the beginning, his first-person narration was quite moving, making viewers want to keep watching the video.
Even if viewers didn't watch the video from beginning to end, they were all drawn in by the young man's title, "An octogenarian woman benefits the nation."
Whether it's the South Korean middle-aged and elderly tourists besieging Zhangjiajie, or the old lady's self-service fruit stall...
Without a doubt, these are all major social hot topics.
Not to mention, Qin Zian was also the old lady's strategist.
Every piece of news is explosive; it would be difficult for this young man's video not to go viral.
As the video gained popularity, more and more netizens paid attention to the matter and engaged in heated discussions.
"Qin Zian has come to Xiangcheng??? Haha! My great Xiangcheng has finally achieved something, but... isn't this development path a bit off? I don't expect him to bring down the prices in Xiangcheng, or to have a low-priced event like the Sichuan-style banquet, but at least don't drive the prices up."
"The old lady's fruit buffet is free for Chinese people, which is a way of indirectly lowering the price. But these old folks are really willing to spend money, eating all the fruit at the 66 yuan buffet without hesitation."
"South Korea has very limited fruit resources. If they want to eat fruit in South Korea, it will cost at least several hundred yuan. Qin Zi'an is quite conscientious. He should have arranged a deluxe fruit buffet for 128 yuan. Isn't the point of traveling to spend money?"
"Hahahaha! I was wondering why all the major websites in South Korea were advertising Zhangjiajie lately. So it was Director Qin who was behind it all. Good, good! Those bastards have been stealing for so many years, it's time for them to pay their dues."
"What's wrong with the people in the comments section? Some are even saying it's a rip-off? This is a 66 yuan all-you-can-eat fruit buffet, it's a super deal! Those who can't afford it should really reflect on themselves and see if they've worked hard or made money properly all these years."
"I've got an idea! If we can have a fruit buffet, then we absolutely have to include a Korean state banquet in the mix. Tomorrow I'll go to the condiment station at the rice noodle shop and buy a dozen or twenty kinds of pickled vegetables, which I'll pair with fragrant and delicious rice. A state banquet buffet like that, 188 yuan per person wouldn't be too much, would it?"
In no time, the old lady's 66-fruit buffet became a hit on the internet, prompting countless netizens to reflect on it.
If fruit buffets are so popular, why can't pickled vegetable buffets be?
Let's do it!
The next morning, someone actually brought pickled vegetables to set up a stall at the entrance of Zhangjiajie.
To be honest, this business is actually quite good.
Countless elderly people rushed over to taste the delicious pickled vegetables, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.
At this moment, they were completely captivated by the delicious food of the Dragon Kingdom.
What are the difficulties in adjusting to life in a foreign country?
What international travel can cause traveler's illness due to changes in environment and climate?
In their eyes, all of this is utter nonsense!
Every meal they ate in China was of state banquet quality—delicious, inexpensive, and affordable.
Just like the advertisements said, the actual trip was a wonderful journey to paradise.
Therefore, these elderly people shared their travel experiences with their friends in South Korea, urging them to definitely visit Zhangjiajie...
