Chapter 286 Arrangements were made for Prefect Qin and his entourage's [Fairyland] tour
Upon seeing that Miss Bai had also noticed them, Kong Wenfeng could only hurriedly whisper the other party's identity to Lord Qin, who was still unaware of the situation, before leading the way to introduce them.
"What a coincidence to see Miss Bai right after arriving!"
Kong Wenfeng's familiar voice rang out behind Kong Nishang, who was standing straight but feeling guilty. She was so startled that she trembled on the spot and hesitated whether she should turn around.
Then her father's voice rang out again, tinged with formality and respect:
"Since we've met by chance, I'll introduce Miss Bai to you."
"These distinguished guests who have accompanied me today are none other than Prefect Qin of Anzhou and his family!"
Immediately afterwards, Kong Wenfeng bowed to Prefect Qin and solemnly introduced, "Lord Qin, this young lady is no ordinary person. She is none other than Bai Mengran, the owner of the [Fairyland] who has brought blessings to all the people of Yongle County!"
Upon hearing that the owner of this mysterious place was actually this young woman with an extraordinary temperament, Prefect Qin was just as surprised as Magistrate Kong had been.
Then, he recalled the rumors Kong Wenfeng had just mentioned and thought to himself, if the other party really was a celestial being descended to earth, then all of this would make perfect sense.
As the other person sized her up, Bai Mengran was also secretly surprised by the other person's identity.
She never expected that even the Prefect himself would visit her "Fairyland" today. He must be the highest-ranking official to have ever been here...
Who would have thought our [Fairyland] would be so successful? It's like a modern mayor personally visiting her place. She's really got a lot of face!
She couldn't help but glance at the prefect again.
He was dressed in an indigo robe, his hair was neatly tied up, and his beard was cleanly trimmed.
Although the specific fabric of the robe was not discernible, it was meticulously maintained without any wrinkles, and the simple cloud-pattern embroidery on the cuffs further emphasized its refined and clean appearance.
His gaze was deep but not sharp, and he exuded no oppressive aura of officialdom. Instead, he gave people a kind and approachable feeling, like a kind elder in a neighboring family.
If you didn't know, you'd never guess he was the prefect!
Bai Mengran first bowed politely and greeted him, "I was completely unaware of Lord Qin's presence. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. I hope you two gentlemen will not take offense..."
She had originally planned to go to Magistrate Kong's office today to discuss matters concerning the children's welfare home, but she never expected that the Prefect would also come along. This was truly a rare opportunity.
At this moment, Kong Wenfeng coughed lightly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, and said to the guilty-looking figure in yellow, "Yiyi, why don't you turn around quickly and greet Prefect Qin and his family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Nishang, who had been instantly restrained, obediently turned around like a puppet on strings.
She looked embarrassed and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. She first called out "Father" to Magistrate Kong, and then turned to the distinguished guests she had never met before, politely greeting them.
At first, Qin Yizhi and the others did not notice the girl in yellow.
Hearing her call Magistrate Kong "father," he immediately realized that the girl in front of him was Magistrate Kong's daughter!
Qin Yizhi and the others were all people with excellent eyesight, and he immediately understood, barely suppressing his laughter.
Judging from the current scene, it seems the daughter sneaked here to play behind her father's back, only to be caught red-handed...
But he showed no sign of it on his face, acting as if nothing had happened, and responded kindly:
"This must be Miss Yiyi! I didn't expect you to have grown into such a beautiful young lady! Since we know each other, how about we travel together?"
Judging from this, Brother Wenfeng's daughter seems to be quite familiar with Miss Bai, the owner of this place.
If Miss Bai were to accompany him, he could take the opportunity to learn more about the situation here.
Kong Nishang immediately looked at Bai Mengran, her eyes flashing with inquiry, as if she wanted to know her opinion. In fact, Kong Nishang preferred to stay with Sister Bai.
Seemingly understanding her gaze, Bai Mengran smiled and offered a few words of explanation on behalf of Kong Nishang:
"I have specially invited Yiyi here today, and I hope Magistrate Kong will not take offense or blame Yiyi."
With several new scenic spots being added to the [Fairyland] area, and several distinguished guests arriving, it's a perfect opportunity for them to visit and experience it.
How about this, I'll have the head staff member come over to accompany you on the tour and give you a detailed explanation.
After we've finished our tour, I'd like to invite you all to a private room in our Chinese restaurant for a get-together.
As it happens, I also have some matters concerning county and town construction that I would like to discuss with you.
"Fortunately, both of you are here today, so I will arrange lunch. I hope everyone present will do me the honor of attending."
Bai Mengran acted like a hostess, entertaining several distinguished guests and quietly notifying the system to summon Xiao Yi to entertain them on her behalf.
In terms of explanation and accompaniment services, Xiao Yi is much more professional than her; let's leave that to the professionals.
Upon hearing that Bai Mengran had made all the arrangements, Magistrate Kong and Prefect Qin expressed their gratitude and then readily accepted her kind arrangements without further ado.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Mengran also made a small request to Magistrate Kong, hoping to borrow Kong Nishang for a while, under the pretense that she needed her help with some things.
Kong Wenfeng never expected his daughter to be so capable; she had somehow gotten in touch with Miss Bai and even become friends with her.
He was secretly pleased and went with her, but he didn't forget to tell Yiyi not to just play, but to use her brain more and learn from Miss Bai.
Less than a minute later, Xiao Yi rushed over.
Upon hearing the tasks assigned by Boss Bai, she immediately and warmly welcomed the group, leading them on a tour of the various attractions, much like a professional tour guide.
Kong Nishang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her father finally walk away, she let out a large laugh and said:
"Oh my, Sister Bai, you have no idea how nervous I was just now. I didn't dare to breathe."
Sigh, I didn't expect my dad to find out about me after all!
At this moment, she regained her usual liveliness, her little mouth chattering away like a machine gun:
"Sister Bai is really amazing. One sentence from you is worth ten sentences from me."
"And I think what Sister Bai said is very convincing. I feel like even my dad can't help but follow your arrangements~"
Kong Nishang had been observing carefully from the side, and now she couldn't help but praise Bai Mengran repeatedly, making Bai Mengran a little embarrassed.
"I think you're quite the smooth talker, you're really good at praising people!"
Okay, if you keep praising me like this, I'm going to float on air...
Let's go, I promised to take you to the braised food shop, let's go now~
Despite being interrupted by Magistrate Kong and his entourage, Bai Mengran picked up her journey again and led Kong Nishang toward the "Unforgettable Braised Food Shop" amidst laughter and chatter.
