I Tied Up the Travel Check-In System - Chapter 8

Along the way, Luo Junbao, who was usually calm and composed, couldn’t help but feel excited. He was worried that the deliveryman wouldn’t be able to make it to the house today, and then he felt that he had been too harsh just now, and after all, the amusement park wasn’t that bad.

This made Tang Siqi laugh.

Not long after they returned home, the deliveryman brought the tables and chairs upstairs. The hallway was narrow, but the deliveryman was very professional and installed the tables and chairs quickly and well.

Xu Qianning looked at the children’s tables and chairs that were gradually put together, her face full of shock.

“This table must have cost a lot of money, right?”

Tang Siqi washed a bowl of cherries and popped one into her mouth. Sweet!

“It didn’t cost much. Junbao helped me a lot today. This is a gift from the park.”

Xu Qianning was amazed: “Junbao can help you?”

“Of course, he gave the amusement park a lot of suggestions!”

Tang Siqi thought to herself that this was not really a lie, so she could just get away with it.

The table, chairs and bookshelf were installed in the corner of the living room. After the installation, he hurriedly took out his books, picture books, and various colored pencils, filling the bookshelf to the brim.

Then he immediately sat down at the desk seriously, picked up a blank notebook and began to draw.

Xu Qianning noticed that with this set of tables and chairs, Junbao no longer had to hunch over on the sofa with his head down to read and draw, and the reading light was also very soft. Usually, she also felt that the light in the living room of this old house was too dim, which was not good for her son’s eyesight. However, due to limited conditions and too many places to spend money, she often had to make do.

Unexpectedly, Tang Siqi took Junbao out for a trip, and in return, she got such a set of high-end and practical children’s tables and chairs, which solved a big problem in her heart.

“Siqi… thank you…” She didn’t even finish her words.

Tang Siqi waved her hand. “Don’t thank me! Today, I should thank Junbao. If you really want to thank me, how about making sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner?”

Xu Qianning couldn’t help but smile. “You, sure, sure. I’ll make it later.”

Before returning to her room, Tang Siqi glanced at the drawing paper in front of Luo Junbao, captivated by his mushroom painting.

“What’s that?”

“I think the amusement park would have a fairytale feel if we built a few mushroom houses like this among the flowers. We could also build some windmills,” Luo Junbao said as he sketched.

Wow, that’s a great idea.

“I’m going to draw a picture for the amusement park later, too. Can I use your mushroom houses?”

Junbao nodded. “Sure.”

Tang Siqi returned to her room and turned on her computer.

Although Luo Junbao could only draw simple sketches and had no idea how to compose a picture, a child’s eye always noticed something she couldn’t see.

After Tang Siqi returned to her room, she immersed herself in her creation.

The difference between this time and the previous two was that while she had previously drawn the paintings for Grandma Chen’s Noodle House and Uncle’s Antique Shop based on real-life scenes, this time, she used Junbao’s inspiration and added some creative touches to the real world, which was more fun.

Tang Siqi painted for hours, and even worked late into the night after dinner, before finally completing a set of illustrations set against the backdrop of a colorful parent-child park. After adding a watermark, she posted the images on various review communities and Weibo, then went to sleep.

The first thing she did when she woke up the next day was to check the feedback from the review communities on her phone.

“Wow, the early bird catches the worm! I waited for the original poster’s update, and these paintings are so touching!”

“I love these paintings so much, they’re like fairy tales. The previous two were also very heartwarming, but these ones have a really soothing feeling.”

“Saving them for now, I wish you could give me a large one. I’d love to use them as wallpapers.”

“The original poster is truly talented, it makes me want to go there.”

“Wake up, upstairs! This is a fictional world the original poster created based on the theme park, not the park itself. Didn’t you read the review she posted yesterday?”

Tang Siqi scrolled through the replies one by one.

There were so many replies today. She was just about to switch to the system to check today’s rewards when her phone notified her of unread messages on Weibo.

Curious, she clicked on them.

To her surprise, she received two private messages.

The first one read: “Ahhh, I saw your theme park series on Weibo. I love your style. Can you please make me an avatar? Draw me a cartoon bunny with that cute and warm vibe? Waiting for your quote!”

Oh my god, someone actually sent her a private message on Weibo asking her to write a piece!

Tang Siqi was so happy she wanted to run downstairs for an 800-meter run.

The last order was a recommendation from a friend in the group. Although this one was just for a profile picture, it was actually earned through the fans she had built up on Weibo, so it held special meaning for her.

Tang Siqi rubbed her chest to calm her excitement and clicked on the second private message.

“Hello, I’m the owner of the Colorful Family Park. Please contact me if you see this private message. My phone number is: 13789******.”

Seeing this message, Tang Siqi couldn’t help but feel a pang of anxiety. Ah…

could it be that the owner of the family park had seen the reviews she posted on the review website, and was looking for revenge?

Tang Siqi felt strangely guilty and checked the review community again. It seemed… there wasn’t anything outrageous.

However, there were some negative things about the park. I guess the owner was upset and came to her for trouble, even leaving her his phone number. Could he really be causing trouble?

Tang Siqi sat at the head of the bed, distractedly opening the game. Today’s teammates were pretty weak, and they were being bullied by the other team. After the round ended, Tang Siqi impatiently closed the game, made up her mind, copied the phone number and dialed it.

After introducing herself, Tang Siqi held the phone, anxiously waiting for the other party’s reaction.

“Ah… Hello, Miss Tang, this is what I mean. I’m the owner of Qicai Parent-Child Park. My last name is Feng. Yesterday, I was browsing the review community and saw your review of our park. The shortcomings and areas for improvement you pointed out were very inspiring. I want to give you some money as a thank you for your suggestions. Do you think it would be convenient for you to send me your card number?”

Tang Siqi had originally thought that the other party might ask her to delete the post or something else, but she didn’t expect that the other party would actually give her a thank you fee.

“Ah… you’re welcome. I was just posting some of my thoughts after my visit. Boss Feng, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Feng Yi was silent for two seconds before continuing, “Actually, you don’t know. I used to be so busy with business that my wife and I rarely saw each other. She divorced me and remarried, taking our one-year-old son with her. Over the years… I’ve always felt I owed my child so much, so I built this children’s park, hoping to give him a gift as he grew up. Unexpectedly, he only came once and said he didn’t like it and never wanted to come again. My partners all advised me to transfer the land and go into real estate, but I couldn’t bear to do so. I wanted to give it one more try… It was then that I saw your post and realized how wrong I’d been all those years. I only built this park according to my imagination, without considering what my son would truly enjoy. Thank you for giving me a new idea. Please be sure to send me your card number as a token of your appreciation.”

Tang Siqi couldn’t refuse any longer: “Well… okay then.”

After hanging up, Tang Siqi still felt like she was dreaming, but she sent her bank card number anyway.

“[China Construction Bank] Your CCB card (**6666) RMB 2,000.00 credited to your account on April 13th, balance RMB 6,029.00.”

Wow, Boss Feng had actually transferred two thousand yuan to her directly!

She hadn’t done anything, just posted a review online.

She quickly texted back: “Money received, thank you very much!”

The other party quickly replied: “You’re welcome, I should thank you.”

Tang Siqi read the message over and over again, her heart overflowing with joy.

She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

Actually, when she was a full-time artist, she’d received payments every now and then, but those were cheap jobs like tracing and coloring—anyone with a hand could do them. The finished work didn’t belong to her. She felt like just another worker on the assembly line.

But now, she inexplicably felt that everything she did was meaningful.

She opened two of her previous posts.

After visiting Grandma Chen’s Noodle House, many customers who had grown up eating her noodles had spread the word and were looking for patronage.

And thanks to her recommendation, business at Uncle’s Antique Shop seemed to be a bit better than usual.

Being seen by others, being able to do something for them, was truly fulfilling.

Oh, by the way, there was a girl who had messaged her on Weibo asking her to make an avatar. She’d almost forgotten about this serious client.

Tang Siqi quickly left a message: [If it’s a regular cartoon avatar, it’s 20 yuan. Order within three days. A 50% deposit is required.]

The other party quickly replied: [Ahhh, you replied! Only 20 yuan, it’s a steal. I’ll pay now. I can wait.]

Then she sent a 20 yuan red envelope.

Tang Siqi clicked to receive it: [I’ll give you a confirmation after the drawing is finished. You can get one free revision.]

[Okay.]

I didn’t expect this morning to be so exciting before I even got out of bed.

Tang Siqi happily got up and washed up. While brushing her teeth, she checked the system for messages.

“Ahem…” She nearly choked on her toothpaste foam when she saw the flurry of messages from the system.
