"Look at our 'Orange Tower'!"
Fu Dong nonchalantly showed his phone screen, which displayed the scene of Fu Sihang vowing to get into Harbin Institute of Technology.
Among all the small tangerines, Fu Sihang appeared the most composed and capable.
Faced with such a young boy, netizens affectionately call him "Orange Star".
“I’ve always said our family has a natural talent for politics. Look at my nephew’s clear eyes and his lofty ambitions. If he gets into Harbin Institute of Technology…”
"Fu Dong!"
Director Yang gritted his teeth and called out Fu Dong's name, his patience reaching its breaking point.
Is this the time to show off your baby?
"Old Yang, this is... a bit too unfair. Put your hand on your heart and tell me, if I hadn't risked my life to remonstrate, if my little nephew hadn't led 'oranges' into battle, would Guangxi have become known to everyone?"
Hearing Fu Dong's teasing, Director Yang awkwardly touched his nose.
Initially, Director Yang absolutely refused to agree to this method.
It was only after Fu Dong's constant persuasion and careful consideration of the pros and cons that he decided to take the plunge.
Looking at his own sixth strategist, Director Yang chose to bypass this topic and get straight to business.
"The collaboration between Guangxi and Harbin has been excellent. I plan to further boost this initiative and attract more tourists to Guangxi."
"Since Harbin Institute of Technology is open to visitors for free, let's also encourage universities in Guangxi to open their doors to visitors and jointly launch an educational tour with Harbin. At the same time, all tourist attractions in Guangxi will be open to the three northeastern provinces free of charge."
"After all, the three northeastern provinces are one family. We, Guangxi and Harbin, should be careful about the impact of this collaboration. We are not here to break them up, but to join them. Harbin spoils our sweet tangerines, so we will spoil the frozen pears of Northeast China."
Director Yang expressed his thoughts one by one, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
This will not only strengthen the collaboration, but also attract tourists from Northeast China to Guangxi.
Fu Dong, standing to the side, nodded slightly, then shook his head helplessly.
“Old Yang, you’ve certainly shown your sincerity, but you haven’t showcased the specialties of Guangxi! Our tangerines are very well taken care of in Harbin, so we should send some to the people of Harbin to try and properly express our gratitude…”
Director Yang's eyes lit up when he heard Fu Dong's suggestion.
Although mandarins are not particularly valuable, they have always been a popular fruit.
It is said that a small gift carries great meaning, and this is definitely an excellent way to collaborate.
Most importantly, if the Guangxi Culture and Tourism Bureau were to send hundreds of tons of tangerines to the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, the latter would definitely send someone to handle the handover.
If I could take this opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Qin Zi'an face-to-face...
Director Yang couldn't even imagine how prosperous and thriving Guangxi's tourism industry would become.
With that in mind, Director Yang made the decision and instructed his subordinates to implement it immediately.
...
Three hours later, in the conference room of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Wang Jianye summoned all the middle and senior managers of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau to the conference room for an emergency meeting.
"Before the meeting begins, I must give a shout-out to Zi'an. While taking good care of the little sugar oranges, he also gave Harbin Institute of Technology a comprehensive boost, making our Ice City go viral online once again."
"Director Yang from the Guangxi Culture and Tourism Bureau personally called to thank us for our support and assistance to the Guangxi study tour group. They not only offer free admission to scenic spots in the three northeastern provinces, but also plan to send us hundreds of tons of tangerines."
"Although this cross-provincial cooperation came suddenly, we must take it seriously. You all need to think carefully about what you should give back to the Guangxi Culture and Tourism Bureau. Think outside the box, we absolutely cannot let our Ice City down."
As Wang Jianye finished speaking, the participants in the conference room began a heated discussion.
They all offered their ideas, wanting to fully showcase the warmth and hospitality of Harbin.
But after all the discussions, they still couldn't find a clear direction.
Not only that, but everyone was getting a little impatient with the discussion.
"The most distinctive product of our Harbin is Wuchang rice. It's hard for even locals to buy authentic Wuchang rice, let alone people from other places. Trust me, Wuchang rice is the best choice."
“They give us fruit, but we only give them rice… It makes us look so poor. In my opinion, we should give them fruit in return, that would be more appropriate.”
"What kind of fruit should we send? All we have right now are frozen pears and frozen persimmons. They are indeed delicious and unique, but it's not practical. They've traveled such a long way, they'll be spoiled by the time they reach Guangxi."
"Aren't these all food? Tangerines are a specialty of Guangxi, so why don't we send some specialties from Harbin as well? Let's just send red sausage, it's delicious and filling."
"There's no rule that says you can only send one thing, right? Don't argue, we'll send red sausage, frozen pears, frozen persimmons, Wuchang rice... the main point is to make it diverse."
"Are you out of your mind? The people from Guangxi sent us tangerines as a gesture of goodwill, and you're giving us so many gifts in return... Not only are you stealing their thunder, but it also makes it seem like we look down on them."
The discussion became extremely heated, and some even considered starting a fight.
Even so, they still couldn't come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Wang Jianye couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
Wang Jianye quickly called a halt to the discussion to prevent them from starting a fight in the meeting room.
After a while, he turned his gaze to Qin Zian, and his eyes softened.
"Zian, I noticed you haven't said anything. Is there something you're wondering about?" Wang Jianye asked casually.
As Wang Jianye finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Qin Zian.
After all, Qin Zi'an is the top strategist of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, and he can always come up with the best solutions.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Qin Zian shook his head helplessly and then spoke frankly.
"I just don't understand what's there to discuss. If they give us fresh fruit, why don't we just give them fresh fruit in return?"
When everyone heard Qin Zian's answer, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
They thought Qin Zian would have some good ideas, but after a long time, all he came up with was this offer of fresh fruit in return.
Please!
This is in the far northeast, in the coldest city in China.
Not to mention fresh fruit, all the fruits and vegetables in Harbin during winter are stockpiled and frozen in advance.
To everyone else, Qin Zian's idea was nothing short of a pipe dream.
But what they didn't know was that the real clown was themselves.
