Brother, just how powerful is our family?

At the same time, Qin Yao officially announced the National Day activities in the live broadcast room.

That night, she specifically chose to do a live broadcast by the Huai River.

Behind me was the shimmering river, with willows swaying along the banks, and the setting sun painting the sky a warm orange-red.

"Good evening, everyone!" Qin Yao waved at the camera. "I have some big news to announce today!"

More than two million people flooded into the live stream room instantly.

"I've discussed the matter of tourists visiting Huai County during the National Day holiday with the county government," Qin Yao said with a smile. "To thank everyone for their attention and support of Huai County, I've decided that all fans who visit Huai County during the National Day holiday will have a chance to receive a gift!"

The screen immediately filled with comments:

"What gift?"

"Is it some kind of local specialty?"

"I want Yao Yao's autographed photo!"

Qin Yao blinked: "The gifts are divided into several tiers. The first tier is that every tourist visiting Huai County can pick up a Huai County specialty gift pack at a designated location—it contains Huai County Maojian tea, peanut brittle, and postcards that I personally designed!"

"Wow! This is great!"

"I'm going just for the local specialties!"

"The second tier," Qin Yao continued, "will randomly select one thousand lucky tourists to receive gifts sponsored by local businesses in Huai County—including home appliances, smartphones, and a year's supply of Huai County specialties delivered free of charge!"

The live stream chat exploded with excitement.

But Qin Yao hadn't finished speaking: "The third tier, which is also the highest tier—ten Porsche Panameras!"

She paused for a few seconds to allow the news to spread fully.

There was a brief pause in the comments section, followed by an explosion:

"What?! A Porsche?!"

"Ten cars?! Yao Yao, you're not kidding, are you?"

"I'll give it my all for a Porsche!"

"I'll book the tickets now!"

Qin Yao smiled even more as she watched the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen: "The rules for the event are as follows: During the National Day holiday (October 1st to October 7th), as long as you come to Huai County and check in on the designated mini-program using your real-name registered mobile phone number, you will automatically enter the prize pool. On October 8th, under the notarization of the notary office, we will randomly select ten lucky tourists to receive a Porsche Panamera."

She added, "To ensure fairness, we will cooperate with mobile operators to ensure that mobile phone numbers are registered under real names and that the identity of the person is confirmed to be in Huai County through cell tower location tracking. This will prevent any cheating."

This news exploded like a bomb on the internet.

Search volume for Huai County on major travel platforms surged by 3000%.

Huai County, a small county town that most Chinese people have never heard of, became an internet sensation overnight.

But the problem also followed.

In Qin Yao's live stream, many fans raised practical questions:

"Yaoyao, I checked, there's no direct train to Huai County!"

"The plane can only fly to Shenyang, and you still have to transfer."

"If I drive there, are the roads easy to travel on?"

"What about accommodation? I checked, and all the hotels are booked!"

Qin Yao responded one by one: "Transportation is indeed a problem. Our Huai County train station is relatively small, and many trains don't stop there. However, the county is coordinating to try to increase the number of trains stopping during the National Day holiday. For those driving, the county will open temporary parking lots. As for accommodation, the county is organizing homestays, which can be booked through the official mini-program."

She also thoughtfully offered several route suggestions: "Friends coming from the north can go to Shenyang City first, then transfer to Huai County; those coming from the south can go to Wushi or Shenyang City first; those from the east can go to Fucheng City first; and those from the west can go to Luocheng City first. Although you'll need to transfer, the scenery along the way is quite nice!"

A fan shared their planned route, starting from Heilongjiang Province, which requires three transfers and takes two days and one night.

"I'll do anything for a Porsche!" the fan said.

The comments section was filled with praise for him as a "warrior".

However, as the number of applicants increased, the Huai County authorities became increasingly anxious.

The initial estimate was 20,000 to 30,000, then it became 100,000, 200,000... After Qin Yao announced the news of giving away a Porsche, the latest estimate that Director Sun received was: at least 500,000.

Five hundred thousand people!

Huai County only has a permanent population of six or seven hundred thousand!

Director Sun's hands trembled as he held the report. He reported it to the city authorities that very night.

The leaders of Shenyang City attached great importance to the matter and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

The meeting decided to expand the scope of tourism reception from Huai County to the entire Shenyang City.

"If Huai County can't host us, the whole city will do it together!" the Party Secretary declared. "This is an opportunity for Shenyang City to showcase itself as a whole!"

Therefore, the event plan was adjusted: anyone visiting Shenyang City (including Huai County and seven other counties and two districts) during the National Day holiday will have a chance to participate in the lucky draw. The prizes have also been increased—in addition to ten Porsches, there are one hundred domestically produced new energy vehicles, one thousand of the latest mobile phones, and ten thousand gift packages of Shenyang specialties.

The Shenyang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism also launched a Douyin account and released a promotional video: "Welcome to Shenyang! A thousand-year-old city, a food capital, the hospitable people of Shenyang look forward to your arrival!"

The video showcases the scenic spots of Shenyang City—though not many, they are quite impressive when filmed with care: the morning mist over the Huai River, the bluestone streets of the old city, the red walls and yellow tiles of the Confucian Temple, and a variety of steaming hot delicacies.

Meanwhile, Shenyang City published a tourism supervision hotline and promised: "Any act of overcharging tourists will be dealt with seriously once verified. We will take every complaint you file seriously."

To cope with the large passenger flow, Shenyang City coordinated to increase the number of train services passing through Huai County, added tourist information service stations at highway entrances, and organized a large number of volunteers.

The public security department activated the highest level of security plan and dispatched police forces from across the city to support Huai County.

Market supervision authorities conducted a comprehensive inspection of the city's catering and accommodation industries.

The health authorities have formulated a medical emergency plan and set up temporary medical points in major scenic areas.

The transportation department has developed a detailed traffic management plan and even simulated the handling procedures for various emergencies.

The entire city of Shenyang was mobilized.

There are three days left until National Day.

The festive atmosphere is already palpable on the streets of Huai County. Red lanterns are hung along the main streets, and "Welcome" signs are posted at the entrances of shops. Volunteers are conducting final training sessions in the streets and alleys.

Qin Yao walked down the street, recording everything with her phone.

She walked to the entrance of a hot dry noodles shop, where the owner was wiping the tables.

"Boss, how are the preparations for National Day going?" Qin Yao asked.

The owner looked up, saw Qin Yao, and smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles: "It's Yao Yao! You've prepared everything perfectly! I've prepared five times more noodles than usual, and even hired two temporary workers. Don't worry, the tourists will definitely be satisfied!"
