"Exploded, exploded! The leader exploded!"
A hurried figure rushed into the eting room, shouting that the leader had exploded, causing all the leaders in the room to frown.
"You're the one who's exploded! Your whole family has exploded!"
Kong Weide was running so urgently that his breathing beca faster and, being overly excited, it beca even more rapid, like a bellows.
Director Liu Xi frowned and said in a serious tone, "What happened? Calm down first, you're so overexcited."
Originally, I thought this kid had the sa temperant as , calm even if Mount Tai collapses... No, this mountain can't collapse, I have family there, calm even if the Huang Mountain collapses. How did he suddenly beco so restless? Is it because he feels valued and is getting carried away?
Looks like I need to be more cautious about promoting him.
Kong Weide took a deep breath to calm his breathing, but his expression remained excited.
"Boss, I just got the data from the Mount Tai managent office. Since this morning, the reservation numbers for Mount Tai have been steadily climbing. The total number of reservations for tomorrow and the day after has already reached 150,000! Compared to last year, it's increased by more than ten tis! And the numbers are still soaring!"
"Bang!"
Liu Xi suddenly stood up with such force that his executive chair was knocked far away.
"How much?!"
Liu Xi was completely shocked, suspecting whether he had heard wrongly.
"150,000 visits, 150,000!"
Kong Weide confidently stated again.
"What the heck?"
"Are you kidding ? Is it real?"
"150,000? Are you sure you didn't accidentally add an extra zero?"
"Damn, why don't I believe it?! "
Exploded, everyone in the eting room was blown away by the number.
150,000!
Last year there were only 15,000!
15,000 people scattered over seven days on such a big Mount Tai, you could hardly see a ghost.
While everyone was in shock, Kong Weide quietly moved Liu Xi's chair back and gently nudged Liu Xi's leg with it.
Liu Xi ca to his senses, sat down calmly, and cleared his throat.
Only then did the others snap out of it and look at Liu Xi.
Liu Xi tapped the table with his finger: "Everyone sit down, don't be so alard. It's just 150,000, and you're already this excited? Do you know how many tourists Harbin has received these past two days? 7.23 million! We're still less than their fraction, what's there to be so shocked about?"
The leaders now realized their loss of composure, each hurriedly straightened their chairs and sat down, while their admiration for the director increased.
Look at that, no wonder he's the big boss, that calm and composed deanor is beyond compare.
Hey, who was the first to stand up just now?
Never mind, it's not important. What's important is whether Lu Dong can seize this vast wealth!
"Vid, coordinate with the Mount Tai managent departnt. This afternoon, make sure all the shops on Mount Tai open, and invite the market managent departnt to control prices. Anyone daring to inflate prices should be penalized! This wave of traffic was brought in by our cultural tourism bureau; keeping them here takes everyone's effort!"
"Yes!"
All the leaders in the eting room now appeared eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
On the other side at Mount Tai, the scene was quite different but still very Lu Dong.
"Wang Zhi, what's going on with you? It's a family drinking session, and you're trying to be sneaky, aren't you? What's with your cup, are you pretending to be fish farming? If you can't drink, move to the kids' table, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Zhang Feng, holding a 150ml wine cup in one hand and a skewer in the other, pointed at Wang Zhi. His cup still had a bit left, whereas Wang Zhi's cup was still half-full, naturally irritating him.
The old man chid in sarcastically, "I always suspected I got the wrong seed, how did I raise soone so sneaky? This skewer is so delicious and fragrant, can't you down it in one go? With your drinking style, you'd take a year to finish a bottle."
Wang Zhi's face was now as red as a monkey's butt, not from embarrassnt but mostly drunk.
Luckily the alcohol wasn't too strong, or he'd have been under the table long ago.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng couldn't be bothered with him and turned to the old man, saying, "Co on, in-laws, let's drink. These youngsters are just not up to par, back in our day, he wouldn't have gotten any hot food."
The old man raised his cup, "Co, let's finish this blessing at the bottom, and then eat twenty skewers before drinking so more."
Both clinked glasses and downed their drinks before picking up skewers and eating.
Zhang Feng praised while eating, "You know, this rascal may not be good at drinking, but he's great at finding this place for skewers. It's even better than Old Zhao's skewers in Zibo."
The old man savored a skewer before saying, "This young boss may be young, but he's mastered control and seasoning like a pro. His skewers are the best, with all them perfectly cooked to eighty percent. Most of Old Zhao's are that way, but so skewers are either seventy or ninety percent, making them either too tender or too tough. This guy's are consistently good, which is quite rare."
Zhang Feng laughed heartily, "In-law, your refined taste has sampled all of Lu Dong's delicacies. Even Ju Fengde would be delighted to receive your praise."
The old man chuckled, "Just speaking the truth, co, fill it up."
Chu Yun got up to refill the cups for the two fathers, then stepped aside without saying a word.
It's mostly pointless to speak frankly; most of Lu Dong is this way, used to the quirks.
The old man tossed his cigarette box into the air; it landed flat on the ground.
Slightly regretfully, he smacked his lips and drank a third of his wine.
He thought of sneaking an extra drink, but Zhang Feng was quick to stop him.
"What are you doing? Trying to sneak a drink? It's my turn."
He pressed the old man's hand down and tossed his own cigarette box into the air—it landed upright.
Thrilled, Zhang Feng downed half his drink.
"Let's eat at, these skewers are really sothing, so delicious they're intoxicating. Have to let the brothers try them tomorrow."
"Ugh... feels like I'm stuffed already. When you get older, your stomach just doesn't hold up like it used to. If I were twenty years younger, I'd be just getting started."
Zhang Feng laughed heartily, "I guess that ans I win then."
The old man retorted, "No way, I brought my secret weapon."
He rummaged through his clothes and pulled out a small plate of tablets.
Zhang Feng gawked upon seeing it: digestive tablets!
"In-law, isn't that a bit unfair?"
"You never said dicine was off limits."
