Another World Resort: A Management Journey Starting with Food

Chapter 196

"What's wrong with you, teacher and senior brother? You're so boring. You've come to such a beautiful place, but all you can think about is research."

After the meeting, Ganlu kicked a pebble and complained somewhat sullenly.

"Lulu, you can't say that."

Gong Lishu, who had been following Gan Lu closely, was startled and quickly said something.

"You know, this is a very rare opportunity. Everyone in the research institute is envious, but the teacher gave this opportunity to you alone. You can't say that and make the teacher sad."

Gan Lu naturally knew that this opportunity was rare, but she was dissatisfied that she had to keep studying since she came to Anhua and had no time to relax.

"You always need to balance work and rest."

Afraid that her senior sister would hear, she muttered even more quietly.

"Alright, young lady, it's dinner time. How about your senior sister takes you to eat something delicious?"

Seeing Ganlu still muttering to herself, Gong Lishu chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Senior sister is the best!"

Ganlu immediately flashed her most radiant smile.

"You."

Gong Lishu shook her head.

There's just no way to deal with this quirky and clever junior sister.

……

Olive, having enjoyed a satisfying meal at the Russian restaurant, slumped into her chair.

The dishes she ordered were a bit too greasy, so she added a plate of garlic baby bok choy and a cucumber salad to cleanse her palate.

When she was enjoying her meal, she ordered another bowl of rice and a dish of braised pork with green beans.

This rice and beans are fantastic.

Having eaten in the City Without Night for so long, her appetite has increased considerably.

After eating and drinking her fill, little chatterbox Olive started talking again.

"Hey Jane, do you think this ice sculpture is the New Year's event that Boss Feng mentioned before?"

"possible."

Jane nodded.

"You may not have noticed, but the changes in the Ice City go beyond just ice sculptures."

Judging from Olive's appearance today, she probably hasn't really observed anything properly except for the ice sculpture.

But that's alright, many things are more beautiful at night.

"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look when I go out later."

Thinking of the New Year's activities that Feng Shuyuan had mentioned before, Olive couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Surely Boss Feng wouldn't show favoritism?

Although I haven't seen the changes to Ice City in detail yet, I wonder what kind of changes Boss Feng will make to Nightless City?

"Olive, is there anywhere else you want to go later?"

"What do you want to say?"

Olive asked.

Having spent so much time with Jane, she naturally understood that Jane meant she had a place she wanted to take her there.

“When I get up in the morning, I usually take a walk around the neighborhood.”

Jane is preparing her opening remarks.

"No, stop, get to the point."

Similarly, Olive understood Jane's indirect and complex personality all too well.

"Let's go hiking."

Olive's face finally fell.

She's always been the type of person who'd rather lie down than stand up.

When she first came to Harbin, she climbed a mountain out of curiosity.

I couldn't take it anymore after only going up 100 meters.

On that trip down the mountain, Olive said:

"I'll never be able to climb this mountain again in my lifetime."

Jane's words now are undoubtedly making her take her previous statements and humiliate them.

"Can't we take the cable car?"

Olive tried to struggle.

Jane nodded firmly.

Olive let out a wail.

After a long while, she finally got up from the table and said listlessly:

"Okay, I'll climb with you, but it's agreed that if I can't climb anymore, I'll just come down."

Jane looked up and thought for a while before nodding again.

She figured that given the current beauty of the mountain road and Olive's fondness for ice sculptures, she probably wouldn't come down that night.

Of course, Olive was unaware of all this.

At this moment, she was wearing a bitter face, trailing behind Jane as they walked out of the restaurant.

Stumbled from the cold, Olive reluctantly wrapped her scarf around herself.

After managing to lift her head, she froze.

The ice city at night has an even more dreamlike quality than during the day.

Countless lights adorn the night sky of Harbin, and the already crystal-clear ice sculptures sparkle under the lights.

This perfectly fulfills every girl's fantasy of a fairyland.

"So beautiful."

Olive murmured.

"I told you I wouldn't cheat you. The place we're going to is even more beautiful than this."

Even though Jane had never seen what it looked like at night, she inexplicably had this confidence.

This reflects a long-standing trust in Anwar's ability to create miracles.

"Really? Then let's go quickly."

Filled with anticipation for the unknown, Olive excitedly followed Jane on her journey.

That low hill is located directly behind the ice city.

Therefore, if the two of them wanted to climb the mountain, they would have to cross the entire ice city.

Although Olive doesn't like climbing mountains, she has no problem walking on flat ground.

Olive originally wanted to get there quickly, but there were just too many new things in Ice City, and she couldn't help but be held back.

Just like now.

Who could resist a musical greenhouse full of flowers?

Halfway there, Olive heard a melodious tune coming from a street corner.

Almost instantly, she thought of the performance at the Tea House in No Night City.

However, the music here is quite different from the tranquil and melodious atmosphere of the City Without Night; it seems to be a different genre.

Olive couldn't explain why, but she just had that feeling.

But no matter which one it is, they are all equally refreshing.

And so, we continued our journey, stopping and starting along the way, until we reached the foot of Aishan Mountain, which was already close to 10 o'clock.

"Aren't you cold now?"

Seeing Olive's smiling face, which was red from the cold, Jane teased her.

"We've come this far, we should at least take a look."

Olive's teeth were chattering from the cold. She covered her face with her hands and whispered:

"It's hard not to be tempted again on the way back."

Hearing Olive say that, Jane finally smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go, come back soon, I'm freezing."

Olive stomped her feet in anger.

"All right."

Jane wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“You probably don’t know this, but Boss Feng has built a heated corridor on the footpath of Aishan Mountain, so you’ll be warmed up right away.”

"!!!"

As soon as Jian finished speaking, Olive instantly appeared in front of her:

"Quick! Take me there! I'll run there if I want!"

Jane shrugged helplessly.

What can I do? I have to obey the boss's orders.

Even though there were many houses along the way where she could keep warm, Olive was well aware of her own lazy nature.

Once she's in a warm place, she might find it hard to have the courage to go hiking again anytime soon.

So Olive has come this far entirely through her own willpower.

However, this willpower crumbled instantly when he heard that he could climb the mountain in the heated corridor.

Why freeze? Isn't it nice to stay in a warm place?
