Chapter 387: We Strive to Create a Miracle

Wang Chenning found it incredible that Zhao Xiao'an would actually tolerate him scheming against Li Yanxian.

From what she was saying, it seemed she would accept anything he did to Li Yanxian.

'That's hard to imagine!'

Seeing Wang Chenning staring at her, dumbfounded, Zhao Xiao'an kicked him in frustration and snapped, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just saying that for the sake of our national interests, you can do things that go against your conscience or what's right if you have to—like using drugs to control her. That's what I mean, period. Don't you dare misinterpret it, and don't ask me about it again!"

"Alright, I get it!" Wang Chenning grinned, then leaned in and whispered in Zhao Xiao'an's ear, "Why'd you go to bed so early last night? I was hoping to come over and have a nice long chat with you."

A blush immediately crept up Zhao Xiao'an's cheeks. "Then just come over tonight. I was exhausted yesterday. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow!"

As she spoke, Zhao Xiao'an glanced toward Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian, who were walking their way. She added a reminder for Wang Chenning, "When we get back, give Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian some acupuncture so they fall asleep early!"

Wang Chenning chuckled. "Getting them to sleep early is no problem. The issue is everything else we have to do, plus Yang Xiaofei is coming to Qiantang, you know!"

Zhao Xiao'an reached out and pinched Wang Chenning. "Then you can just use the same method to put Yang Xiaofei to bed early!"

"Alright, alright, your wish is my command, happy now?" Wang Chenning stopped their playful banter.

Once Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian reached them, Wang Chenning gestured for the group to start up the mountain.

The group started their ascent from North Mountain Road.

The weather in Qiantang was mild this time of year, and even at dusk, there were still plenty of people visiting Gem Mountain.

During their outing today, Li Fuzhen, Li Yanxian, and Zhao Xiao'an had been afraid of causing a stir, so they had kept hats and sunglasses on most of the time.

As evening approached, they decided they'd had enough of the hats and sunglasses and took them all off.

With that, their beautiful faces and perfect figures were on full display.

Wang Chenning had a lot of fans, as did Zhao Xiao'an. And recently, Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian had also gained no small number of fans thanks to their association with the pair.

It didn't take long for someone to recognize them. A few bolder individuals even came up to Wang Chenning and asked, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Wang Chenning?"

"Honestly, I'd love to say no, but I know I'd get torn apart online if I did, so I have no choice but to admit it!" Wang Chenning said with a good-natured laugh. "I'm Wang Chenning, and today I'm the designated bag carrier, a free laborer for these beautiful ladies."

Thankfully, the driver and tour guide who were with them were just up ahead. With another man in the group, Wang Chenning didn't draw quite as much envy.

Still, everyone envied Wang Chenning for getting to tour West Lake with so many beautiful women at once.

Wang Chenning had no airs about him and graciously returned their greetings. The passersby they encountered were all thrilled.

A few of the bolder fans asked for a group photo, and Wang Chenning didn't turn them down.

However, after taking a few pictures with them, Wang Chenning politely mentioned that they hoped to not be disturbed too much for the rest of their tour.

Those people were sensible enough to take the hint. After snapping a few photos with Wang Chenning and the three beauties, they didn't pester them any further.

Wang Chenning quickly led the women away.

A short while later, Wang Chenning posted on his Weibo. He shared a photo of the Baochu Pagoda, a panoramic shot of West Lake taken from Gem Mountain, and a picture of Li Fuzhen, Li Yanxian, and Zhao Xiao'an in profile.

"I can't believe we ran into fans even while climbing Gem Mountain! The gorgeous scenery of West Lake already had us in a great mood, but the warmth from our enthusiastic fans was the icing on the cake. Spring is truly a wonderful season, and spring at West Lake is so beautiful it feels unreal. If you've never been to Qiantang, you have to come see West Lake. If you've witnessed her charm before, you'll definitely be back to see her beauty again. I'll be waiting for you by West Lake, and spring will be waiting here with me. We'll see you there..."

After Wang Chenning sent out the post, the fans they had just met saw it and immediately replied, even attaching the group photos they had taken.

"Teacher Wang is so down-to-earth! And his smile is so damn charming, I'm a guy and even my heart skipped a beat! The young ladies with him are absolutely gorgeous too. Don't believe me? Check out the photos—completely unedited, no beauty filters!"

"Teacher Wang is just ridiculously handsome. How can a guy this good-looking with such a radiant smile even exist in this world? I'm instantly smitten! No wonder Sister Xiao'an is always fangirling over him. I swear, if he let me just follow him around, I could die tomorrow and I'd die happy!"

"I'm not just blown away by Teacher Wang's looks, I'm stunned by his lethal effect on women. I bet there are tons of girls who would be willing to share him; there are just too many who fall for his good looks at first sight. If any one person tried to keep him all to herself, she'd definitely be resented by every other woman out there."

"Exactly! Teacher Wang belongs to all of us. No single girl is allowed to have him to herself. Not Sister Xiao'an, and definitely not President Yang!"

Wang Chenning ignored the replies online. After posting on Weibo, he sent a message to Wang Jiangxing, telling him that he'd done some advertising for Qiantang and that Wang Jiangxing should have his people check for any changes in search volume for Qiantang-related tourism products.

Because they had been recognized earlier, Li Fuzhen was worried about causing more trouble. So, after they reached the top of Gem Mountain, watched the evening view of West Lake for a bit, and took plenty of photos, she suggested they leave.

Li Yanxian and Zhao Xiao'an, however, didn't mind staying. They thought it was quite nice sitting on Gem Mountain and enjoying the view. Besides, they were engrossed in Wang Chenning's stories about the history and legends of West Lake. They weren't hungry, and after the strenuous climb, they wanted to sit and rest a little longer.

"Let's sit for another half hour then," Wang Chenning suggested as a compromise. "I'm sure our host will be calling soon to hurry us along to dinner anyway!"

Wang Chenning's words were proven true just a dozen or so minutes later when a call came in from Wang Jiangxing.

"Chenning, my boy! Your promotional power is incredible," Wang Jiangxing boomed with laughter. "After you posted on Weibo, high-speed rail tickets to Qiantang sold out almost instantly, and searches for flights and hotels have increased dozens of times over. I've told my people to keep monitoring the numbers. Asking you to be Qiantang's spokesperson was an excellent decision. Don't you worry, the people of Qiantang will be sure to reward you!"

"We've been running around all day and we're starving, Mr. Wang. A grand feast would be the best reward you could possibly give us right now!"

"Of course! I've prepared the finest food and wine. We'll have a good drink together in a bit!" Wang Jiangxing laughed heartily before adding, "I hope we can create another miracle tonight!"

Wang Chenning replied with a few meaningful words of his own: "Then let's do our best to create that miracle! I trust this miracle will be of great use to you, Mr. Wang. Just don't forget to give this junior a leg up when you're soaring to new heights one day!"
