When the tourists queuing outside heard that they could buy the tickets to enter the manor tomorrow in advance, most of them agreed and didn’t have much of an opinion.

Only a few people were agitated and dissatisfied.

They had already spent a lot of time and effort coming all the way here. They were quite angry when they were told they couldn’t enter the farm that day. After all, this had ruined their plans for the day.

The sales director and the operations director came out at the same time to comfort the tourists.

They were the two executives that Xiao Lingyu personally interviewed, so they were very good at dealing with these emergencies.

Therefore, most of the emotional tourists calmed down and agreed to buy the tickets in advance.

Only a few people were still very emotional and would not stop with their pestering.

Manager Xiao said, “The tickets have all been sold out. Even if we print the tickets now, you will have to wait for a long time. It is already two or three o’clock in the afternoon. When the tickets are printed, it will be three or four o’clock. By then, the sky will already be dark.

“You have to know why our farm only lets 180,000 people in a day. That’s because the vast majority of tourists don’t want to come out until it’s dark. Plus, you might want to come back again tomorrow once you enter the farm today. But today’s tour will be a waste. Won’t that waste even more of your money?”

The tourists were abnormally emotional. They said loudly, “I don’t care. I want to go in today!”

Manager Xiao was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Are you sure you want to go in?”

“Yes!” The tourists said without hesitation.

Manager Xiao thought for a moment and said, “Our Farm has a rule that tickets will not be sold after the tickets are sold out. Since you insist on entering the farm, we can only ask you to wait for some time. After our tickets are printed, we’ll send them to you.”

There were actually not many tourists who were in a bad mood, only a few hundred. Since they were not willing to compromise, they would let them in. After they entered, they would naturally regret it.

Manager Xiao immediately added, “Here’s a reminder. If you choose to enter the farm now, it means that you have given up on buying tomorrow’s tickets in advance. If you still want to enter the farm tomorrow, you will have to wait in line again to buy tickets. Also, our farm has the rules that only those who have made a reservation at the inn or homestay inside the farm can stay for the night. The rest has to leave.”

He couldn’t give these complainers all the advantages because it would be unfair to the other visitors.

Once Manager Xiao said that, some of the tourists who had been clamoring to enter the farm fell silent again.

They had chosen Taoyuan Village because of the village’s reputation and characteristics.

Many netizens, who had been here before, said that once they entered the village, they wished they could stay there forever.

Taoyuan Village had beautiful scenery and many interesting projects. Most importantly, there were many delicacies inside. Many netizens said, “I wish to stay in the canteen forever.”

Many people wouldn’t leave the farm until it was closing hour.

Many tourists chose to stay on the farm, but there was a limited amount of accommodation. There were other activities on the farm at night. Of course, this activity was reserved for those who stayed on the farm. Tourists who had no reservations at any accommodation had to leave.

The complaining tourists actually had a plan. Once they entered the farm, they would immediately find accommodation. Then, they would stay until the next day. Someone asked, “I saw on the internet that there are accommodations offered inside the farm, right?”

Manager Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, there are. However, the rooms are either already occupied or booked. Whether it’s the hostel or the inn, they are all booked at least three days in advance.”

After hearing that, these tourists gradually calmed down.

If they chose to go in now, they would probably not be able to stay for long. Then, they had to come back early tomorrow to queue up again. They would waste money and time.

Manager Xiao saw some hesitant customers and continued, “Look, if you buy tickets for tomorrow now, you don’t need to queue again tomorrow. You can go in as soon as the door opens tomorrow.”

A tourist asked, “What time are the tickets usually sold? Is it eight o’clock?”

Manager Xiao said, “Today is the first day of business after New Year, so we chose an auspicious time to open. However, starting from tomorrow, the farm will open at 6.30 am. Many tourists will come early for breakfast. “The breakfast here is delicious and not expensive.”

“6:30.” A tourist thought for a moment and said, “So, we can buy the tickets for tomorrow now?” He wanted to confirm.

Manager Xiao nodded and said, “Of course.”

“Alright, we’ll discuss it first,” said the tourists.

Then, after a group of people discussed it for a moment, they came over and said to manager Xiao, “We’ll buy tickets for tomorrow.”

Manager Xiao smiled and said, “If you buy the tickets today, you’ll get a free red packet! You won’t get that tomorrow!”

Another big group was persuaded. Actually, these people were already persuaded when they heard the announcement. They just wanted to hear more explanation from the manager.

After all, instead of buying the tickets that day, it was more worth it to buy the ticket for the next after.

However, there were a few oddballs. No matter what, they were angry.

“No, we’ve waited in line for a long time. No matter what, you have to let us in!” A fierce-looking woman shouted angrily, “If you don’t compensate us, we’ll report it to the authorities.”

This was unreasonable. Why would the farm compensate her? She came late and couldn’t get the ticket, so how was that the farm’s fault? The fact that she was asking for compensation was purely unreasonable.

Manager Xiao knew that these people would not listen to reason. He said directly, “Okay, do you guys want to go in? Sure, I’ll let you guys go in now.”

The woman squeaked and said in a daze, “No… didn’t you say there were no tickets?”

Manager Xiao said with a smile, “We can make some temporary tickets for a few of you. This ticket is no different from a regular ticket. You are all guests. But since you’re entering the farm now, please understand that you have to leave by six o’clock. That’s the rule.” Then, manager Xiao called a staff member and said, “Xiao Li, let these guests in. Oh, right, even if it’s a temporary entrance ticket, you can’t miss out on the red packets, understand?”

Xiao Li nodded and replied, “Yes, manager!”

Then, Xiao Li smiled and said very politely, “Guests, please! Even though the farm is full, we can still accommodate a few tourists.” They had dealt with this kind of thing many times. These people wanted to ask for compensation even though they hadn’t even technically spent any money. They clearly wanted to scam the farm. How could they blame the farm for them coming late?

The faces of those who wanted to make trouble changed. They looked a little unsightly and suddenly became stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Their goal was actually to get some compensation.

Xiao Li didn’t hurry them. He just waited quietly by the side.

That woman suddenly said loudly, “We’re not going in. You’ve wasted our precious time, so you have to compensate us!”

Xiao Li was stunned, but he still said politely, “Madam, please be reasonable, okay? You came late and didn’t get the ticket. Besides, we’re making an exception for you to buy the tickets now.” He almost said, ‘Do you have no shame?’ But he was too well-trained to say that.

When the woman heard this, she said angrily, “Bullshit! Before we came, why didn’t we hear about the limited tourist capacity? If you had informed us, then we could have come earlier, or even not come. We’ve queued for so long but now you’re suddenly telling us there’s no more ticket? What kind of logic is this?”

Xiao Li pointed at a promotional poster on the wall in front of them and said, “Madam, whether it’s on our website or outside the farm, we have already been notified that the Taoyuan Village farm will limit the number of visitors entering the farm during the peak period. We will only sell 180,000 tickets a day. Also, an hour before the tickets are sold out, there will be a broadcast informing everyone that the tickets are about to be sold out, so don’t wait in line anymore.”

The woman said angrily, “I’m not going to reason with you now. In any case, you’re full of nonsense. I want you to compensate me now. Get your person-in-charge to come over!”

This was simply unreasonable.

Xiao Li said, “Our manager has said everything he wanted to say. He has already given you an explanation. He’s very busy right now and doesn’t have time. Madam, what exactly do you want? If you want compensation, that’s impossible. If you want to enter the farm, we can let you in now, but you still need to buy tickets. If you plan to come over tomorrow, you can buy tickets now.”

Xiao Li gave them two choices.

This group of people was just pestering them.

The woman said loudly, “I don’t care. I want to see the person in charge now!”

Xiao Li nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll call our manager over!”

After saying that, Xiao Li ran to the window and came back. He said, “I’ve already called our manager over.”

Manager Xiao was reporting the situation to Xiao Lingyu when he received a call from his subordinate. After hearing the report from his subordinate, he frowned.

Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, “Manager Xiao, what’s wrong?”

Manager Xiao said, “There is a problem with a small group of tourists. We asked them to buy tickets for tomorrow, but they didn’t want to. I allowed them to go in now by offering them temporary tickets, but they don’t want that either. Instead, they want money as compensation.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded in understanding. “It seems that they are a group of unreasonable tourists.” Xiao Lingyu looked at the time, stood up, and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to take a look!”

Manager Xiao was shocked and immediately said, “President Xiao, I can handle this small matter. You don’t need to do this.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “It’s fine. I just want to go and take a look.”

Just as they walked out of the door, Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling ran over.

Xiao Letong raised his head and asked, “Mommy, what are you guys going?”

Xiao Lingyu stroked his soft black hair and said with a smile, “Mommy is going to handle some matters. You guys go and play. There are too many people. You guys should be careful too.”

Xiao Letong asked, “Mommy, can we go with you guys to take a look?”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s go!”

When manager Xiao and Xiao Lingyu led Xiao Letong to the ticket sales plaza, they saw a fat woman constantly pulling Xiao Li. Xiao Li’s face was red.

When manager Xiao saw it, he immediately shouted, “Stop!”

When the woman saw manager Xiao appear, she immediately let him go and sneered, “Hey, leader, you’re finally back.”

Manager Xiao asked very seriously, “Madam, what do you want? Didn’t you agree to go in just now?”

The woman said righteously, “You’ve wasted our precious time. Of course, we want some compensation. Isn’t that fair?”

Manager Xiao laughed angrily, “How have we wasted your precious time? You were the one who was late. Besides, I’ve already agreed to allow you to get in. But you’re still making a fuss. To put it bluntly, you want compensation, right?”

The woman and the others didn’t say anything. The answer was clear.

Manager Xiao asked again, “Then what kind of compensation do you need?”

When the group of women heard this, their eyes lit up. There was a chance.

The woman said loudly, “Three, oh, no, five hundred RMB. Give us five hundred, and we’ll leave.”

“Five hundred?” Manager Xiao was both angry and amused. “You have really thought this through, but you have to have a good reason to ask for compensation.”

The woman’s face darkened, and she said with an ugly expression, “Are you not going to compensate us?”

Manager Xiao shook his head and said, “You have to give us a valid reason for us to compensate you!” Manager Xiao paused for a moment and said, “This madam and everyone else, if you want to enter the farm, you can. But if you want compensation, it’s impossible.”

When the woman heard this, she said angrily, “If I make a fuss, your reputation will suffer. Do you want that?”

This was a threat. But Manager Xiao knew that this wouldn’t solve the matter. In fact, if he caved, the matter would only get worse. People would hear that they could get money from threatening the farm, and the trouble would never end.

Once a precedent was set, there would be countless bad examples to follow.

Manager Xiao pointed at the surveillance camera on the wall, and the surveillance camera hanging on a tree trunk in the square and said with a smile, “Madam, we have the surveillance camera as proof, and there are many tourists watching. You can go and try to ruin the reputation of our farm.”

The woman swept her gaze and saw that many tourists were taking videos with their phones. Feeling guilty, she immediately shouted, “What are you taking pictures of? What’s there to take pictures of?”

One of the tourists couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Madam, even I, as a passerby, can’t stand what you’re doing. You’re too thick-skinned.

“You came late and didn’t make it to the farm, but now you’re saying that the farm is wasting your time. This is a big joke.

“This is like the cinema. Everyone knows that you have to enter before the movie starts. However, you came half an hour later and requested entry. When refused, you threatened to ruin the cinema’s reputation. Do you think the earth revolves around you?”

He was just a passing tourist and wasn’t afraid of offending this group of people.

He continued, “The farm has repeatedly given in, but you guys are pressing on step by step. You even asked for 500 RMB! How shameless!”

“Haha, that’s right. You’re too shameless!”

“We were late and didn’t get the tickets, but we didn’t blame the farm. We can only blame ourselves for being late.”

…

The group of women was so angry that their faces turned red and green.

“We want our compensation. It’s none of your business. You should mind your own business!” The woman shouted angrily.

Manager Xiao then said coldly, “This lady and the people behind you, our farm doesn’t welcome you. Please leave now!”

The woman shouted, “You’re bullying us!”

Manager Xiao said, “Who’s bullying who? Our farm doesn’t need some unruly tourists. We do everything according to the rules. No one bullies anyone. If you want compensation and want to file a lawsuit, then go ahead.”

The woman pointed at manager Xiao angrily and said, “Okay, okay. Just wait.” After saying that, she said to the people behind her, “Let’s go!”

The people behind her couldn’t wait to leave so that they wouldn’t embarrass themselves anymore.

After the woman and her group left, the tourists who were watching the show also left one after another.

Manager Xiao walked to Xiao Lingyu and said, “Director Xiao…?” It was because he didn’t handle the matter properly that they continued to make a fuss about compensation.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “It’s not your fault. It’s not strange for a few weirdos to appear among the 200,000 tourists. However, based on what I see, this group of people won’t give up so easily. Go and tell all the staff to pay attention.”

“Yes, President Xiao!”
