A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 163 Six hundred yuan a month, and you want me to build the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave?!
Videos of lightning during the torrential rain quickly went viral online.

The lightning didn't strike anywhere else, but instead kept striking the summit of Qingfeng Mountain.

It's hard not to notice this.

Something's definitely fishy.

People happen to enjoy listening to mysterious and enigmatic stories.

This matter quickly attracted people's attention.

That night, Qi Yue didn't think too much about it. It was only after more than a dozen thunderbolts struck that he remembered that the lightning rod was still in the testing phase after installation, so the power supply device was not turned off.

He opened the scenic area model and turned off the power supply device.

The thunder then stopped.

However, the video of Jing Lei has already been uploaded to the internet.

Netizens were shocked to see the night sky ripped open by lightning, turning it into daylight in an instant.

Moreover, there's nothing new happening online lately, which has left many marketing accounts quite worried.

All we can do is bring up some old stories again.

Then edit it and post it online.

When a marketing account sees a video taken by a tourist, inspiration strikes and the account is overjoyed.

Wow! This is such a great topic!

"A famous scenic spot, with a touch of fantasy!"

"People love watching this!"

"God help me!"

The bloggers who run marketing accounts immediately began to compile the content.

"Passersby were shocked to see thunder rolling in the sky while passing through Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area, and suspected that someone on the mountain was undergoing a tribulation!"

He wrote the video and the script, and immediately posted them online.

These days, once one marketing account publishes an article, dozens of other marketing accounts immediately start copying it.

Everyone does this; you copy me, I copy you, all for the sake of gaining traffic, so we've all gotten used to it.

Sure enough, as soon as the video was released, it was quickly downloaded by other marketing accounts, the text was changed, the watermark was removed, and it was reposted online.

With so many accounts posting videos, someone is bound to become popular.

Qi Yue thought that the visitor flow to his scenic spot was too stable, so the popularity surged again.

People are paying close attention to this.

What's going on? Why are there so many thunderbolts striking the mountaintops of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area?

Qi Yue's comment section also became lively.

"Brother Qi, what oath did you make?! A vow to be struck by lightning?!"

"What exactly is going on? Can science explain it?"

"I've never seen more than a dozen lightning bolts strike the same spot!"

“It’s spectacular!”

Qi Yue quickly noticed everyone's comments and replied:

"It's all by chance, it's a coincidence."

Upon seeing his response, everyone laughed:
"This doesn't seem like a coincidence!"

"The scenic area is amazing! I noticed something was off about it a long time ago!"

"Maybe there really is a deity hiding inside!"

"Are you a Taoist cultivator? Do you have any cultivation secrets? Are you here to rebuild your sect and open a tourist attraction?"

Seeing everyone's comments, Qi Yue smiled.

This is quite interesting.

It's fine if everyone thinks that way.

This added a layer of mystery to the Qingyun Sect, attracting even more visitors.

This can be considered another boost to his popularity.

After putting down his phone, Qi Yue fell into deep thought.

"It seems that the Qingyun Sect is developing even better than I imagined."

"I originally planned to build an exhibition area themed around a sect."

"Now we have a scenic area model and a recruitment shop."

“It’s not impossible to create a real sect.”

"Moreover, the employees we recruit are loyal. As long as we treat them normally, their loyalty will be very high."

Qi Yue suddenly became somewhat excited.

To build a real sect in the real world?

Lightning and lightning, flying on a sword are just ordinary sights.

That would be more than just a five-star scenic spot.

I feel a little excited when I think about it.

Now let's see what other good things the system has left, so we can manage them well in the future.

It rained for most of the day.

By the afternoon, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared, and the scenic area became bright and cheerful again.

The scenery is still very beautiful.

We'll be open as usual tomorrow, and the tickets will be sold out again.

As soon as the weather cleared up, Qi Yue went to Little Butt Mountain, climbed to the west peak, and checked if Huijue was still there.

Let's hope it doesn't all turn to ashes.

Qi Yue first arrived at the foot of Leifeng Pagoda, went inside, and shouted:

"Master Huijue!"

No one answered.

Then he went to the entrance of Huijue's courtyard, knocked on the door, and called out a few times.

Still no one responded.

"No way, it's really gone?"

"There was such a huge lightning strike yesterday, more than a dozen times in a row. We can't let anything go wrong!"

Qi Yue was a little worried.

He continued walking forward.

The road ahead was difficult to travel, and soon he came to a cliff.

Upon closer inspection, Huijue was seen stepping on a stepladder, carving the rocks one step at a time.

Because the stone is difficult to carve, he is carving very slowly, and he hasn't even finished carving the toes yet.

"Good afternoon, Master Huijue."

"Busy now."

Seeing that he was still there, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Qi."

Huijue responded politely.

In reality, monks don't say things like "this benefactor" or "benefactor so-and-so".

The reason people think monks should speak like that is purely because they've read Journey to the West and imagine monks speaking in the style of Tang Sanzang. "Donor" sounds more like a formal, literary term.

In reality, people usually address each other as "you" or by their job title, such as manager or general manager.

"It's nothing. The lightning was too strong yesterday, so I came to check it out."

"Such a loud thunderclap, the sound must have been deafening, weren't you affected at all?"

Qi Yue asked him.

"Boss Qi, what did you say?"

"Didn't hear that clearly."

Huijue asked earnestly.

"Hey! With that huge thunder yesterday, you weren't affected at all, were you?"

Qi Yue asked loudly once more.

"Oh! It's nothing!"

"Everything is fine!"

Huijue responded loudly.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

Qi Yue saw that he was busy, so he didn't bother him.

Qi Yue was thinking to himself that once he learned the [Sculpture Specialization] skill, he would share it with Huijue.

We'll find him a good place then, so he can slowly carve it.

We aim to carve a cave containing ten thousand Buddhas.

That's good.

If outsiders knew his thoughts, they would probably scold him.

what?
Six hundred yuan a month? You want me to carve the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves?

Are you kidding me?
Even capitalists would shed tears if they saw you!

Of course, the situation is different here.

Besides eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, Huijue had no other practice; he only liked carving Buddhist statues.

They have their own way of believing.

This is pretty good, at least much better than those who drive BMWs and ride in Mercedes.

It can both help Huijue cultivate his character and contribute to the development of the scenic area, so why not?

After seeing Huijue, Qi Yue went down the mountain.

It takes two hours to go back and forth.

The scenic area is still large.

There weren't many people in the afternoon because the park was closed.

Qi Yue then let the red panda out for a walk.

Interacting with each other occasionally feels really nice.

The next day.

In the morning, Qi Yue called in several department heads for an internal meeting.

Meetings shouldn't be held too often, but they also shouldn't be avoided altogether.

Only when everyone reports on their work can everyone gain a better understanding of the scenic area.

The scenic area currently has four departments: comprehensive management, operation and service, marketing, and facilities maintenance.

The busiest department is the comprehensive management department, which includes administration, human resources, and finance.

The administration would frequently hand Qi Yue documents containing policies, which the boss had to review.

Qi Yue now puts Li Qingshan in charge of administration. He is enthusiastic, capable, and hardworking.

The meeting proceeded as usual.

When Li Qingshan finished his report, he spoke to Qi Yue:

"Boss, the latest national document has been issued, clearly stating that one hundred top-of-the-line outdoor study bases should be built nationwide within six years."

"The national support policies this time are very good, including the central budget, special debt, and land use approval."

"If we apply, we can get a very large piece of land."

"Study and research bases encompass all aspects, including outdoor sports, science education, and more."

"This document is quite important, please take a look at it in a moment."

Upon hearing Li Qingshan's words, Qi Yue indeed became interested.

For a boss like him, it depends on national policies.

This is very important.

Policies often contain business opportunities.

"Can a special budget still be used to approve land acquisition?"

"I'll take a look in a bit."

Qi Yue was very tempted.

The main thing is that it can get land approved.

He's doing well now, but he still feels there's not enough space.

Especially this area at the foot of the mountain.

Beyond that lies a vast expanse of abandoned land, all of which could be developed.

However, there needs to be a reason, since land approval requires reporting to higher authorities, and the procedures are relatively complicated.

Now that there are supporting documents and policies, things are much more convenient.

In addition, Qi Yue does indeed plan to build a research and study base.

The scenic area now hosts many tour groups and occasionally receives important figures.

Qi Yue felt that there was a lack of a place for children to learn and broaden their horizons.

Or a place that broadens the horizons of adults.

This place doesn't necessarily have to be connected to the scenic area; it can be developed as a separate entity.

It also belongs to him, but it's a different style.

Besides business, he also wanted to do something meaningful.

Once people have money, they will gradually develop greater ideals and ambitions.

At least Qi Yue was like that.

The scenic area is doing very well now, and Qi Yue has ample funds.

Besides building the scenic area, he wants to build some other things.

He thought about it and decided that building a botanical garden might be a good idea.

All kinds of plants, all kinds of flowers.

We should also invite some experts, researchers, and guides.

To develop into a base with scientific research qualifications.

It can be open to the public and can also cooperate with schools to let children come and broaden their horizons.

pretty good.

It can be considered as doing something more meaningful besides entertainment.
