Fortunately, the people who got off the car were not employees of the Ai Group - such as the cute Sunika - but real acquaintances of Alia.

"Senior?!"

Looking at the khaki senior sister, or should I say khaki royal sister, who got off the car gracefully, Alia couldn't help but gasp.

isn't it...

Khaki senior Zhuang Cixin is one of the few people that Alia has seen so far who is suspected to be carrying the protagonist template.

"Why, classmate Xiao Ai doesn't welcome me?"

"No, I was just wondering why this award belongs to you..."

"Didn't you look at the personal data in the background?"

"Don't try to trick me. That's user privacy. We only have the contact information left by the user after they agree to the agreement."

"Then you really haven't looked at the backend data - guess, will I be the winner?"

"..."

452-Poor little koi, played around by two foxes

To be honest, if there is anyone in this vacation world who is worthy of Alia's serious attention.

Then this good senior sister who is suspected to be the counterpart of a protagonist in another world is definitely one of them.

But fortunately, we are not opponents or enemies. Even if we are guessing whether I guess or not, it can only be a joke between friends.

Senior Sister Zhuang something, but she is my half-sister!

"I guess not."

"why?"

"Although I didn't look at the backend data, I remember taking a look at the birthplace you chose. You are not from Suzhou or Hangzhou."

A paradise on earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth, produce the beauties of Jiangnan and West Lake Longjing tea.

Well, if the locals recognize the West Lake Vinegar Fish, then it counts as one...

And this good sister's hometown is rich in nuclear power plants...

Don’t laugh, it’s really a nuclear power plant. The largest nuclear power plant unit in Donghuang is located in her hometown.

That thing ranks among the top three in the world and is currently the largest nuclear power plant in the Donghuang State Grid.

"Just because of this?" Zhuang Cixin tilted his head: "I don't look like a girl from Jiangnan?"

Jiangnan is good, the best thing is rouge, not size 38 black stockings and beautiful legs.

"The ID doesn't seem like your style."

"Hmm..." The senior student nodded, seeming to agree with this statement.

But there was another reason that Arya didn't tell her - the other party might not have the time to participate in these festive activities.

In this world, or in every world, there are actually some cracks that are not visible on the surface.

These dark sides of society are sometimes called the gray area, sometimes called the dark world, and so on.

This world, which is like a vacation for Alia, has the legendary rivers and lakes - although it is quite down-to-earth - and naturally there are similar areas.

This good senior sister hangs out among them, and her ecological niche seems to be quite high...

Can you imagine a gangster coming to play scratch tickets?

Well... although it's not impossible, Alia would probably do it herself.

But it's just Alia, others also act a bit pretentious.

The senior girl in khaki pulled her khaki woolen windbreaker closer and moved aside to make way for a little girl.

"It's definitely not me, but it's my relative - my cousin. Hey, this is my junior."

A round-faced, slightly silly, and pretty girl from a Jiangnan family.

He didn't seem to be very old, probably in his twenties, and wore big-framed glasses. He didn't seem to understand what was going on.

Alia understood why she asked Khaki-senpai to accompany her.

This isn't like winning the lottery where you can get a sum of money directly. Who wouldn't find someone they trust to ask about it?

Alia gestured to the camera next to her, indicating that they should stop filming.

She went up to him and said, "Congratulations. I'm in a bad mood when I woke up. Your ID is not very good to call by a nickname. What's your last name?"

"...Qi Qiqi."

Isn't it usually called by your surname and then your name?

Alia also tilted her head. Although your last name is Qi, it is hard for me to associate you with Old Qi...

As for who Lao Qi is - she was another good friend of Alia before she traveled through time, and her main feature was her steady hand.

However, a hero does not brag about his past achievements. The former giants have now pursued their own dreams and lived wonderful lives.

Alia shook hands with the other party and said, "Congratulations, Miss Qi, do you mind participating in the promotion? If you don't like it, there is no mandatory requirement."

"That's why I came here." The khaki senior student put her hands in her pockets and said, "Qiqi is my distant cousin, an introverted girl who is interested in scientific research. I'm worried that you're going to use her as a representative figure for publicity. After all, lucky koi fish or something like that has too much connotation of advertising."

"Can I, can I promote it occasionally?" Qi Qiqi shrank her neck: "Will it affect my winning the award?"

"No, if you don't like it, you don't even have to mention it at all. All the prizes will remain the same."

Alia shrugged and spread her hands. "Actually, I asked you to come here just to ask what you plan to do with these gifts."

"……a lot of?"

"A lot. I know what you're thinking. Eat them yourself, give them to friends, classmates, relatives, or even neighbors... But believe me, even if that's the case, you still can't handle all of these local specialties, even though they were very restrained and only gave you a little bit."

As Alia spoke, she asked someone to open the door of the warehouse behind her. As the electric door of the warehouse rose, a huge storage workshop appeared in front of everyone.

Qibao looked at the cart in the middle of the workshop and the boxes of fruit inside, blinked, and then looked at Alia.

Lele put his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, I was wondering why I couldn't find it. Turns out it's here..."

As she spoke, she went over and pushed the cart of fruit aside. "These pears from Luxi are really delicious. They are super juicy, but the skin is a bit thick. Let's try them later."

When the cart left, Alia pointed to the entire warehouse and said, "Look, it's yours now—this is just for this month."

"……what?"

"Don't be so surprised. Let's do some calculations. For example, Fucheng only gave you 20 kilograms of Yongxing rock sugar oranges, 10 kilograms of mushrooms and mushroom liver, and 2 kilograms of tea. Do you think such a gift is expensive for a city official?"

"Alright... maybe?"

"The answer is very restrained. They even give you a small package and send it by express delivery."

Fucheng is a prefecture-level city after all, and gifts of this size can only be considered small gift packages for experiencing local specialties, far from being city gifts.

What Alia or the Ai Group received was the treatment of a 'city gift' derived from the concept of 'national gift'.

Even these local specialties are not worthy of being called city gifts - what are city gifts?

Longjing tea from West Lake, silk from Hangzhou, brushes from Huzhou, rice wine from Shaoxing, celadon from Longquan...

If you pick up any one of these representative regional business cards, wouldn’t it be many times more valuable than dozens of kilograms of oranges?

Fucheng felt that they were just joining in the fun, and officials from other regions felt the same way. It wasn't a big deal, just a few boxes of fruit.

But the problem is, what if those joining in the fun are not just the more than 200 cities in the 22 southern provinces, but most of Donghuang, more than 400 cities?

"This is just the delivery we received today. Twenty kilograms of fruit is not much in one city, but in a hundred cities it becomes one ton. There are more than three tons of various fruits here, not to mention other specialties. If you like to drink tea, you can drink the same tea for two months in a row. You can choose whatever you want."

Even Alia didn't know that Donghuang had so many kinds of tea...

Obviously, everyone eventually treated this as an advertisement page for local specialties.

Netizens were eager to watch the fun and were curious about what local specialties were available in different places. Naturally, local officials followed suit, just treating it as spending the money for express delivery to buy advertising space.

Oh, Donghuang is indeed a vast land with abundant resources. I didn’t know there is this! I’ll try it next time!

The lucky koi is really lucky, so lucky that it has begun to boost the sales of regional specialties.

Feedback from e-commerce platforms is that in the past two days, as long as there are local specialties advertised, people are willing to try them.

Fucheng was the first to join in the fun and was the most searched for, even pre-ordering a large number of fresh fruits that might not be shipped until mid-year.

This may give some relief to the fruit farmers who have been hit hard by the cold wave...

Some netizens also joked that the little koi should now open a specialty store.

Products with better quality than hers do not have as many varieties as hers - and may not even be as good as hers.

Are you kidding? The local specialty that the city officials personally sent to you, can you cut corners?

This is a model-level product used for exhibitions or to receive customers. You may not be able to buy this level of product even if you spend money.

Don’t accidentally send the wrong product of poor quality. If Little Koi makes a headline saying that the taste of so-and-so’s product is bad, then the whole network will be embarrassed.

Qibao stood there in a daze for several seconds, then looked at his cousin stupidly.

The khaki lady was amused: "Who was it that said to try to eat hard and not waste anything?"

"I didn't expect so much..."

Qibao pinched the corner of his clothes, his ears turned red, and he stammered: "I thought it was just a few pounds..."

The introverted child delegated the task to his cousin who was a helper, and went to open the blind box happily.

You think she is introverted, but in fact she is very wise - this kind of free agent has such a high standard, and Alia has to face the protagonist template and work for her for free.

Alia and senior sister Khaki walked to the side and looked at her for a while, only then did they know the "background" of this girl.

Qi Qiqi is a student of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Tianhai Jiaotong University, and a student of the four legendary tiankengs of "Biochemistry, Environment and Materials".

Of course, with her current level of luck, she doesn't have to worry about falling into a trap - after all, she has had no worries about food and clothing for half her life.

"I can help you promote it, but I can't commercialize it. Besides, it's unlikely that she will join your Ai Group. In fact, she has chosen to continue her studies. Her supervisor is a very powerful material science expert in China. He saw her academic talent and decided to send her to graduate school."

Alia unwrapped a lollipop and handed one to the other person: "I don't care about these, but I didn't expect you to appear here again."

"I never thought that my little sister would be so lucky. I cried under the covers for half the night. I was so jealous."

Of course Alia didn't believe it, and said that if the other party was willing to work in the Ai Group, it would be impossible to directly jump to level 23, but the position of level 20 was vacant.

"Come on, others are hired as level 15 employees, but my salary is way off when I come. Who knows who everyone will blame then. There still have to be rules."

The khaki senior waved her hand and said, "Besides, I've already found a new job. Although the salary is not high, it's enough, and there's also a 300 yuan meal allowance."

Oh... three hundred meal allowance, I see.

"You came to see me today just for this matter, nothing else?"

"If I say there is nothing else, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it—" Alia's face showed that she didn't believe it.

In fact, after the authorities expressed an attitude of protecting their child and allowed Lele to carry a gun, Alia knew that some things "could not be hidden".

At the very least, the authorities are probably aware of the large-scale security team at the agricultural base in Siam.

Fortunately, she didn't plan to hide it from anyone. Protecting the radish has been made into a game, so it makes sense for me to protect the durian, right?

The official attitude has not changed so far, and it has even given the green light to direct agricultural procurement, which is very intriguing.

The fact that senior Khaki appeared in front of Alia was partly a coincidence, but more of it was deliberate carelessness.

As expected, the khaki senior licked the lollipop and whispered, "Shang Gong will bring his team to Tianhai tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

“I didn’t receive a response from the other party.”

"I just don't want to reply to you, but I can confirm that they will join the High-tech Industrial Park. The higher-ups have stepped in."

As the big daddy of the semiconductor industry, of course he doesn't have to give Alia face.

He is over 70 years old, who cares if he offends someone? Even if you point a gun at his head, it won't help.

But when the official call was made, the other party responded immediately - this was in line with the other party's desire to leave their name in history.

He lacked a stage, and now that this stage has been officially endorsed, he decided to give it another try.

"What do I need to do? Ensure the other party's safety? I think this is not within the scope of business competition, right?"

"That's my job, I just came to tell you about it."
