A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 160 It feels so good to be able to trust others!
At Qingfeng Tavern, a folk song came to an end.

The once noisy tavern was now much quieter.

People's eyes turned to Lin Ran.

Everyone was amazed by her voice.

Lin Ran's voice is very clean and languid, making it very pleasant to listen to.

"My God, what a talented singer!"

"She's amazing, and so beautiful, how come she's not famous!"

"She must be a famous singer invited by the scenic area. Do you have her account name? I'll follow her!"

"I'd like to follow that too."

Several young women were gossiping about it privately.

Qi Yue looked at Lin Ran on the stage.

A beam of light shone down from above, and Lin Ran sat on a wooden chair, gently strumming her guitar, her eyes fixed on the floor in front of her.

It felt quite relaxing and leisurely.

"It really sounds good, no wonder it was recruited from the recruitment shop."

"Without shops, it would be really hard to find this type of skilled talent."

"Moreover, employees recruited by oneself are more trustworthy."

"It feels really good to be able to trust others."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

This is indeed the case.

The reason why superiors often practice nepotism is because relatives are at least related by blood and are therefore more trusted.

And it's unclear whether those who are promoted are doing so out of mere appearances or genuinely motivated.

After becoming a boss himself, Qi Yue could understand that feeling.

However, he can fully assess the loyalty of the employees he recruits, so he feels completely at ease with them.

This feels good.

Therefore, Qi Yue will treat Lin Ran even better.

However, Lin Ran didn't need an extra salary, so Qi Yue couldn't give her money even if he wanted to. Instead, Qi Yue gave her a "renovation fund," which was a card with 500,000 yuan in it.

She can use whatever she wants to decorate the tavern.

And if that's not enough, you can ask Qi Yue for more.

Because of this incident, Lin Ran's loyalty to Qi Yue increased by a few points.

Including the time we've spent together, their loyalty level has now reached 90 points.

This loyalty will increase over time.

Qi Yue was drinking and listening to music at the tavern.

After he finished his drink, the bartender poured him more alcohol and cola.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the proportions have changed.

At first, it was roughly half spirits and half cola, so it mainly tasted like cola.

For the second glass, the proportion of spirits was increased, while the proportion of cola was reduced.

In this way, the cola won't taste so strong.

One cup after another, six cups in total.

By the sixth cup, it was all alcohol.

Qi Yue sipped his drink at a leisurely pace. Several people recognized him and came over to take photos with him.

Qi Yue responded with a smile.

Sometimes, Lin Ran would also look in Qi Yue's direction.

Qi Yue smiled encouragingly at her, and Lin Ran would smile back and continue singing.

This night, the ancient village was more tranquil, and there were more people enjoying the peace and quiet.

The time Lin Ran sang conflicted with the time of the Nuo opera performance.

It depends on what tourists choose.

Most people would choose to watch Nuo opera.

That's perfect, since the tavern can't hold that many people.

It would be good if we could just keep the restaurant fully booked.

Lin Ran sang from 7 to 8 o'clock, including songs such as "Anhe Bridge", "The Ordinary Road", "I Remember", "Clouds and Smoke Turn into Rain", "Zebra Zebra", and "July".

Finally, they sang "The Song of Wonderful Abilities".

As the song ended, she stood up, guitar in hand, and bowed to the audience in gratitude.

The guests immediately applauded her.

One daring girl even mustered up the courage to run over and ask her for a photo.

Everyone can see that Lin Ran has the makings of a star.

Judging from her overall performance, she is definitely a top performer in the industry and will become famous in time.

Qi Yue also noticed this.

“If you sing like that, you’ll become a minor hit in less than half a month.”

"Ask her tomorrow if she wants to open a personal account for her."

"There must be a lot of people who like her."

"It can be considered a well-known IP of the scenic area."

Qi Yue had almost finished drinking, so he downed the last glass of alcohol.

Then put the glass back on the bar and call the bartender to come and settle the bill.

As the boss, he could of course not settle the bill. Qi Yue settled the bill purely for the convenience of accounting, so as to avoid having to keep track of the accounts and reconcile the bills and goods.

It was just a side job.

The boss wanted to settle the bill, but the employees were hesitant. Qi Yue said a few more words, and they were sure they couldn't stop him.

Then, Qi Yue glanced at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was also looking at him.

Qi Yue waved to her and left with a smile.

Lin Ran also waved slightly.

Qi Yue walked outside the tavern.

It was already eight o'clock, and the ancient village was brightly lit.

The place was bathed in light, making it beautiful.

Moreover, the ancient village has a unique feature: when the system rewards Qingyun Sect with buildings, the buildings all have insect-repelling properties.

Even with such bright light, it doesn't attract any insects from the mountains. It's truly blessed by nature.

Some people have researched this matter, and in the end, they only said that there might be an unseen sect formation.

It is protecting this place.

It's quite amazing anyway.

When the two country dogs saw Qi Yue come out, they were lying down, but immediately stood up with smiles on their faces, wagging their tails and coming to Qi Yue.

"Let's go back."

Qi Yue walked back.

They followed happily, one on the left and one on the right.

Scenic spots are getting better and better these days.

With an additional capable employee, Qi Yue felt much more at ease than before.

"The Favorability Chest is truly a wonderful item."

"It's a chance to try your luck in a lottery and also a way to recruit employees."

"It's quite a difficult choice."

Qi Yue was making plans in his mind.

He doesn't know what to choose now.

The Advanced Favorability Chest has a certain probability of yielding buildings and skills, although the probability is relatively low.

According to Qi Yue's estimate, about ten favorability chests can yield one legendary reward.

Similar to employees.

It depends on whether it's more cost-effective to hire employees or to build a building.

From an economic point of view, building a structure is more cost-effective.

Because a building can cost millions to construct.

However, from the perspective of peace of mind and the unique characteristics of the scenic area, it is still better to recruit talented employees.

Moreover, legend has it that sometimes the reward is a skill.

Useful, but not much.

It's definitely not as good as hiring a capable employee.

So, Qi Yue decided to take advantage of the summer vacation when there were many people to collect more treasure chests.

Collect ten, then recruit one more employee.

He drank some alcohol today. The alcohol content wasn't high, but he still felt a little dizzy afterward.

I worked up a sweat walking back, and by the time I got to the courtyard, I was mostly sober.

Good evening! Good evening!

Jarvis the parrot chirped twice.

The tabby cat was already resting in its bed.

Cats go to bed early and wake up early. They usually go to sleep around 10 p.m. and then go out to play around 4 a.m.

At that time, the scenic area was quiet, and some nocturnal animals would come out of the mountains.

For example, rabbits, mice, and civets.

Even in places you can't see, the scenic area is quite lively.

The next day, Qi Yue arrived at the scenic area, which was still bustling with activity.

He drove to the western part of Xiaopigushan Mountain and arrived at Guanyuntai.

Further up, you can see workers carrying construction materials.

Some tourists peered through the fence at the mountain, looking on with great curiosity.

He happened to see Qi Yue and asked:

"Boss Qi, what are you building here?"

"Will we be able to get up there in the future? It's so high up."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled and said:
"We'll build a tower, and it might be opened to the public irregularly, since the mountain road is too dangerous and the area at the top isn't very big."

"We'll see how it goes. If there are fewer people, we'll open it; if there are more people, we'll close it."

"After all, only one road has been built. It would be bad if it got blocked."

Everyone was surprised to hear his words.

"Build a tower?"

"A pagoda?"

“That’s amazing!”

Tourists chat with Qi Yue

"Yes, it will take another half month to complete."

"You're welcome to come and visit then."

Qi Yue replied with a smile.

Leifeng Pagoda is still under construction.

The monk they recruited is not sure when he will arrive.

The Qingyun Sect is a Taoist sect, with its Taiji Hall and Wanjian Pavilion, among others, all based on Taoist culture.

But it wouldn't be so bad if there were a small temple on the mountain peak.

After all, many auspicious locations have temples of both Buddhism and Taoism.

Moreover, this area is completely detached from the main part of the scenic area.

It's considered an extra area.

The main purpose is to add some scenic spots to the area.

The most outrageous thing is that Leifeng Pagoda can release electric current and actively attract lightning.

In other words, even on a clear day, as long as there is enough electrical charge in the sky, a lightning phenomenon can still be produced.

Of course, the more cloudy the day, the more spectacular the lightning display will be.

On a clear day, a couple of thunderclaps might suddenly appear.

In thunderstorms, that would summon thunderbolts from the sky.

"If it's built, I'll be able to summon thunder."

"They're practically on the verge of being able to summon wind and rain."

"In that case, it really can be called cultivating the Tao."

Qi Yue thought to himself, jokingly.
