Regardless of the circumstances, Wang Jianye was quite aptly impressed by the loud cheers from the crowd.
In just a short while, Wang Jianye felt that most of the anger in his heart had subsided.
At this moment, Qin Zi'an did not stop his actions, but continued to introduce Wang Jianye to everyone, while also setting a trap for him.
"Everyone knows that our Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has a good director, but no one knows exactly what makes him so good. Well, I have to say that all the wines in the Hidden Cabin today are from Director Wang's personal collection."
"In order to ensure the smooth running of the 'Summer Friendship Carnival' and allow people from all countries to have a great time here, Director Wang emptied his wine cellar, which he had treasured for decades."
"He even spent his own money to replenish a lot of fine wines and spirits. This shows how selfless and dedicated our Director Wang is, and how much he cares about the people."
As Qin Zi'an spoke, his tone grew increasingly louder, which could be said to have propelled Wang Jianye to his peak.
This completely extinguished Wang Jianye's temper, leaving him only able to wave his hand with a cheerful smile.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. I'm not as good as Zi'an makes me out to be."
Although Wang Jianye said he wanted to "keep a low profile," he couldn't hide the smile on his face, clearly pleased by Qin Zian's words.
He looked around at the crowd, which was even more enthusiastic because of his "generosity," and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Even though Wang Jianye understood that it was all Qin Zian's scheme and that he had been manipulated by him once again, he still felt guilty.
But facing a talented and eloquent man like Qin Zian, Wang Jianye was still willing to show him the utmost leniency.
Then, Wang Jianye smiled and patted Qin Zian on the shoulder, making a gesture that showed great rapport between superior and subordinate.
But when Wang Jianye got close to Qin Zian, he gave him a light warning in a voice that both of them could hear.
"Zi'an, you really know how to talk. But... to be honest, although your covert operation was quite successful, it was really unbecoming of you to act first and then inform others, and to pull such a shady deal. I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to do it again next time, you know what I mean?"
Qin Zi'an nodded hurriedly, saying sincerely, "Old Wang, don't worry, it was my oversight this time. From now on, I will definitely report to you first to ensure everything is perfect. We're brothers, that's..."
Qin Zian patted Wang Jianye on the shoulder, then patted his own chest, and said with a smile, "We're on the same wavelength."
When Qin Zian uttered the words "telepathic understanding," Wang Jianye's face broke into a knowing smile.
But the next second, Wang Jianye's smile froze on his face, perfectly illustrating what it means to smile more than cry.
"Everyone, our Director Wang said that the Hidden Hut is officially open until the end of the 'Summer Friendship Carnival' event. During this period, all players who achieved a perfect score can come to the Hidden Hut to experience the joy of making friends over drinks."
"At the same time, Director Wang also encouraged all challengers to take on the challenge multiple times, hoping that you can make more friends on this land. 'A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend,' and the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau is dedicated to building bridges of friendship for everyone."
Upon hearing Qin Zi'an's words, the crowd was overjoyed, and the applause and cheers nearly echoed through the sky.
On the other hand, Wang Jianye looked utterly helpless.
God knows, that wasn't his intention at all.
This is a false imperial edict; Qin Zi'an is falsely conveying an imperial edict.
Wang Jianye's facial muscles twitched slightly, and a hint of helplessness and a bitter smile flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew that in such a joyful and expectant occasion, directly exposing Qin Zi'an would not only spoil everyone's fun, but could also affect the overall atmosphere of the "Summer Friendship Carnival".
Then, Wang Jianye gently patted Qin Zian's back and said in a tone that was both reproachful and indulgent.
"Zian, your 'act first, report later' and 'tailor your approach' are truly masterful, even I, the old director, am ashamed of my own abilities. However, since I've already said it, I can't take it back and refuse to give you face."
"I don't have any other requirements for your secret activity, as long as it's safe and orderly and truly promotes friendship. If there's any drunkenness or disorderly conduct, then... even I can't protect you."
"Also..." Wang Jianye paused, then pursed his lips and said with a hint of helplessness, "These wines are my treasured collection. You have to leave me a few bottles, don't let them all be wasted."
Seeing that Wang Jianye had finally softened and was willing to cooperate with this covert operation, Qin Zian stopped causing trouble.
Then, Qin Zian chuckled and patted his chest, making a promise to Wang Jianye.
With a high five from the two of them, the gentleman's agreement was settled.
"Old Wang, you can rest assured! I guarantee that every event from now on will be more exciting and safer than this one. Moreover, I promise that I will report any future plans to you first and will never act on my own."
Wang Jianye nodded and stopped worrying about it, handing the matter over to Qin Zian.
Once Qin Zi'an is out of his antics, he can be described as a very reliable person.
He raised his hands slightly to signal everyone to quiet down and then gave his final official announcement.
"Listen up, everyone! In addition to the fine wine generously provided by Director Wang, our Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has also prepared a series of exciting interactive programs and surprise rewards, waiting for every brave challenger to discover them."
"The Summer Friendship Carnival welcomes every visitor. We hope you will enjoy this feast of friendship and culture in the days to come!"
As Qin Zian's voice faded, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers once again, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
Looking at this scene, Wang Jianye felt a sense of helplessness, but more than anything, he felt gratified.
He knew that although Qin Zi'an sometimes acted unconventionally, his original intention was always to promote the cultural tourism industry of Harbin and to let more people feel the charm of the city.
And so, Wang Jianye and Qin Zian stood side by side, their figures appearing exceptionally harmonious amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
