Chapter 1839: Chapter 1839: What Reward Is There for Good Performance?

If Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin hadn’t disguised themselves, they might have become internet celebrities today.

Of course, neither Luo Ziling nor Yang Qingyin expected to be surrounded by so many people, and many people uploaded photos and videos online. In the end, they were reposted by some well-known websites or forums, attracting a lot of heated discussions. Some people even went to Baoshi Mountain specifically to watch the excitement.

Seeing the increasing crowd, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin decided to retreat.

Xiaoli Ye, Yang Xiaodong, and others hastily packed up the painting equipment and left Baoshi Mountain hurriedly.

By the time they left Baoshi Mountain, it was almost noon.

They found a random restaurant by West Lake to have lunch.

After lunch, they went directly to Liuhe Pagoda to play.

Originally, Liuhe Pagoda was not a must-see attraction; they just wanted to avoid being bothered by Yang Yunlin.

What surprised both Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin was that Yang Yunlin did not “bother” them.

Yang Qingyin didn’t receive his call, and Xiaoli Ye also didn’t receive any contact from Yang Yunlin or the Yang Family.

“Maybe your dad already understands that his actions not only fail to achieve his goal but will backfire, making things more troublesome,” Luo Ziling smiled and said to Yang Qingyin, “It’s better this way, saves us the trouble. Let’s have Yang Xiaodong check whether your dad has left Qiantang. If he’s gone, we won’t have any trouble.”

“Now, with such convenient communication, it wouldn’t take more than a few minutes for him to ruin our mood, would it?” Yang Qingyin said a bit downcaster.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. We should be happy today,” Luo Ziling said, as they stood on the top level of Liuhe Pagoda, looking at the Qiantang River. He pointed at the surging Qiantang River and said, “The Qiantang Tide on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month is said to be the most spectacular in the world. Actually, the Qiantang has tides every day, just that it’s particularly big from the 15th to the 18th of each lunar month, with the 18th of the eighth month being the best time of the year to watch them. I remember today is the 17th right? If we’re lucky, we might catch a glimpse of the tide.”

“The spot where you can see the tide is quite far from here. You won’t see the spectacular surge from on top of Liuhe Pagoda,” Yang Qingyin’s interest piqued, “If you want to see the magnificent tide, you have to head further towards the mouth of the Qiantang River.”

“Do you want to go?”

“If you want to see it, I’ll go with you.”

“Then, let’s first go to Nine Creeks for a while. After strolling around Nine Creeks, if it’s still early, we’ll go to a spot where we can see the tide, and then find a place to have dinner. How about that?”

“It’s not about the spots, it’s about the mood, don’t you think? Wherever you want to go, I’m willing to accompany you!” Yang Qingyin smiled playfully and took Luo Ziling’s arm.

So, after spending around an hour at Liuhe Pagoda, they headed to Nine Creeks.

It wasn’t far from Liuhe Pagoda to Nine Creeks, and Yang Xiaodong drove them there in less than half an hour.

In this season, there weren’t many people visiting Nine Creeks, so the two of them weren’t worried about running into acquaintances, allowing them to play freely.

The entire afternoon was undisturbed, no one disrupted their mood, so they were both high-spirited.

Yang Qingyin’s stamina was much better than before, as she accompanied Luo Ziling all the way.

Looking at the WeChat exercise steps, both of them exceeded 40,000 steps.

“Tired?” As they prepared to leave Nine Creeks, Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin with a bit of concern, “If you’re feeling tired, let’s take a break.”

“You thought I was tired; you could carry me out,” Yang Qingyin said, suddenly jumping on Luo Ziling’s back and smiling triumphantly, “I don’t care, I can’t walk anymore, you have to carry me out.”

Of course, Luo Ziling wouldn’t refuse and carried Yang Qingyin on his back, heading towards the exit.

For the next hour, Luo Ziling carried Yang Qingyin around the scenic area, strolling leisurely.

Many people looked at them with envy and jealousy, and many whispered that this couple was truly in love, and that Luo Ziling cherished his girlfriend so much, carrying her all the way.

“Aren’t you tired?” Yang Qingyin felt a bit guilty; she had planned to get down long ago, but Luo Ziling wouldn’t let her, insisting on carrying her.

“Not at all,” Luo Ziling shook his head and then smiled proudly, “Not everyone has the privilege to carry a beauty around, right?”

Yang Qingyin glared at Luo Ziling, but didn’t pinch him, sneaking a quick kiss on his cheek when no one was looking, as a reward.

After leaving Nine Creeks, they asked Yang Xiaodong to take them to a Qiantang Riverside restaurant for dinner, preferably with a view of the tide.

At this time of day, they could see the tide.

Actually, they weren’t really that keen on seeing the tide, just for the novelty.

Yang Xiaodong had already found a place and took them to a farmhouse near the Qiantang River Third Bridge.

From the farmhouse’s terrace, you could see the Qiantang River, and the location was very nice.

Feeling a bit tired from the walk, they ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of beer to enjoy slowly.

“You did well today, I give you a ten,” Yang Qingyin praised Luo Ziling with a smile sitting across from him, “I hope you’ll always perform this well in the future.”

“What reward do I get for doing well?”

“No reward.”

“That can’t be right.”

“It will be accumulated and rewarded all at once later!”

“Are you just making empty promises?”

“Of course not, I will definitely keep my promise!” Yang Qingyin gazed at Luo Ziling affectionately, her eyes filled with warmth.

“Alright, I’ll just willingly be deceived by this senior!”

Just as they were talking, Luo Ziling’s phone rang, and he saw it was a call from Ling Ruonan, so he quickly answered.

Ling Ruonan asked on the phone how things were going with Luo Ziling, whether Yang Yunlin was still bothering them, and Luo Ziling answered truthfully.

Upon hearing that Yang Yunlin hadn’t done anything more, Ling Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief.

She told Luo Ziling that she was on her way to Ling Mingrui’s courtyard to have dinner there.

It seemed that tonight, they would find out how the seniors of the Ling Family viewed this matter.

“Our collaboration with the Koizumi Family, Ishihara Family, and the Xu Family from South Korea hasn’t been finalized yet, but it’s already attracted a lot of envy,” Ling Ruonan reminded Luo Ziling of a few other points, “They know well what kind of benefits cooperation with these families would bring. Coupled with other issues, those in the Ling Family who are displeased with us are even more dissatisfied, which is quite normal.”

“It’s possible that they might try to undermine us, while at the same time rushing to cooperate with these families.”

“Undermining us isn’t what’s scary, what’s most frightening is if they leverage national interests to suppress us,” Ling Ruonan sighed slightly, “Looking at it now, our cooperation with the Koizumi Family, Ishihara Family, and the Xu Family is likely to become more complex.”

“Mom, things being a bit more complex is no big deal,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “I believe we will surely benefit from this incident. As for how much benefit, it depends on your performance later.”

“I’ll head over first, we’ll talk later!”

“Okay!”
