Under the guidance of Shen Siqi, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan spent almost a week in Rongcheng, visiting almost all the attractions and famous restaurants, and trying all the special snacks.
After leaving Rongcheng, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan drove south.
Their final destination was Yunnan Province, where they planned to have a good holiday by the sea, and then return along another route, sightseeing as they went.
Less than an hour after getting onto the highway, Zhao Mingyuan's call came again.
After Qin Tian answered the phone, he listened to Zhao Mingyuan's excited report on his work.
The League of Legends competition organized by Tianming Internet Cafe had just concluded, creating ample buzz.
Coupled with the cooperation with the live streaming platform and the interview with Jiangcheng Television, Tianming Internet Cafe had firmly established its position as the leading high-end internet cafe in Jiangcheng.
After Zhao Mingyuan finished his lengthy report, they congratulated each other and hung up.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully building your internet cafe into Jiangcheng's largest chain brand. Your career has advanced further. Mission complete, reward System Points +8888!"
In his mind, the system's completion notification suddenly sounded.
Qin Tian was overjoyed, feeling that the reward had come at the perfect time.
Previously, the life countdown he had redeemed could only last until around July 15th, and now there were less than two days left.
For the past few days, he had been preoccupied with this matter, wondering whether to spend money to extend his life.
Zhao Mingyuan called almost every day to report good news, so he had been waiting, thinking that the internet cafe mission might be completed in the next few days.
Fortunately, everything was within his plan.
The mission had indeed been completed, and this time there were no other rewards, only a large number of system points.
Undoubtedly, this was exactly what he wanted.
With a thought, Qin Tian directly redeemed eight thousand points in one go, leaving only 888 points as a reserve.
At the top of the system interface, the displayed life countdown directly increased by eight thousand hours.
He wasn't sure if it was due to the large amount of recharge, but this time it wasn't displayed as eight thousand hours; another line of numbers appeared in front.
335:2:48:23!
With a glance, Qin Tian understood that the 335 was likely the number of days converted from the time.
A full year, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you seem very happy. Congratulations, your career is growing bigger and bigger."
Seeing the smile on his face, Xia Nuannuan was also genuinely happy for him.
"Ah, I'm just a hands-off manager, I haven't done much!"
Qin Tian humbly smiled.
"Not at all. I know you've been helping by giving advice. Like this gaming competition and the cooperation with the live streaming platform, weren't they all your ideas!"
Xia Nuannuan smiled charmingly and added, "Many people can manage an internet cafe, but not everyone can come up with these ideas."
Qin Tian glanced at her and said with a chuckle, "That's great, not only are you getting more beautiful, but you're also saying nicer things."
"Hehe..."
Xia Nuannuan was amused by his words, her eyes curved into a smile.
"This must be rewarded. Tell me, is there anything you want?"
"No, I don't lack anything."
"Then how about this, when we get to the next city, I'll kiss you a few good times."
"No, I said I don't want anything."
"You do, don't refuse!"
...
...
After spending four or five days by the sea in Yunnan Province, they took the route through Guizhou Province for their return journey.
The provincial capital of Guizhou Province is also a famous ecological leisure and tourist city in China, with many beautiful scenic spots. The two of them stayed for a few more days, stopping in some small cities along the way.
By the time they returned to their own province, it was already the end of July.
Their skin had tanned a bit, but due to their good complexions, it didn't affect their looks; instead, it added a healthier vibe.
Passing by Jiangcheng, they exited the highway and entered the city, planning to invite Zhao Mingyuan for a meal.
Thinking that his future father-in-law was also in Jiangcheng, Qin Tian asked Xia Nuannuan to call and see if he was free for a meal.
After Xia Nuannuan made the call, Old Xia readily agreed and asked where they would eat.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan discussed it and decided to buy groceries and then cook a meal at their home in Moxian Shuyuan.
After all, with Qin Tian's current culinary skills, most restaurants outside couldn't compare to his cooking.
Furthermore, cooking themselves would show more sincerity.
Zhao Mingyuan had been busy for so long with the Tianming Internet Cafe matter, and Qin Tian had been traveling outside, so it was indeed necessary to show some appreciation.
After Xia Nuannuan confirmed with Old Xia, Qin Tian called Zhao Mingyuan.
"Good, good, good, I promise to be there on time. Speaking of which, I've never tasted your cooking, Brother Qin. I must try it today."
"Alright, should I come pick you up?"
"No, no need. Just tell me the address, and I'll drive over. I still have some things to attend to at the store."
"Okay, I'll send you the address later then."
"Got it!"
"Oh, and my future father-in-law will be joining us too. Brother Zhao, you don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all, what's there to mind? It'll be even livelier!"
"That's good. I'll hang up now. We'll have a good drink later."
"Definitely!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian suddenly realized something and looked at Xia Nuannuan.
As expected, Xia Nuannuan was blushing and glaring at him with annoyance.
"What did you just say? Future father-in-law?"
"Cough cough... Sorry, sorry!"
Qin Tian gave a sheepish smile and shrugged, "But I wasn't wrong!"
"I'm going to tell Old Xia later!"
Xia Nuannuan pouted and said.
"Don't do that, why are you like a little kid, reporting to others?"
Qin Tian looked at her speechlessly.
"Then who asked you to call Old Xia that."
"It just slipped out, didn't it? You can also call my mom your future mother-in-law, I don't mind."
"Pfft!"
Xia Nuannuan playfully spat at him shyly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Think about what dishes you want to eat later. We'll go buy groceries first."
Qin Tian decisively changed the subject.
"It's not like you're treating me to a meal. Ask your future father-in-law."
Xia Nuannuan gave him a blushing side-eye.
"It's not good to call again now. Just tell me directly, what dishes does Uncle Xia like to eat."
Qin Tian said with a cheeky grin.
"Our dad?"
Xia Nuannuan was a little dumbfounded.
"Yeah, didn't you tell me not to call him future father-in-law?"
Qin Tian grinned.
"Then... then..."
Xia Nuannuan was completely defeated by his thick skin and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hehe... Just kidding, just kidding. Help me think about what dishes Uncle Xia likes to eat."
"Hmph, I don't know! Figure it out yourself!"
