Yun Zhaozhao's heart melted as she watched her little legs toddling around watering the plants in the backyard.
Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao soon discovered that Sansan had a very special talent: all the animals at Clear Breeze Temple were very affectionate towards her. This included not only the little rooster that Yun Zhaozhao had previously taken from Grandpa Lin, but also the stray kitten that Lin Banxia was currently taking care of.
The stray kitten was probably hurt by humans before. Although Lin Banxia had taken care of it for so long, it wasn't very close to Lin Banxia, let alone the other people in Clear Breeze Temple. But when Sansan first came to the backyard to water the flowers, the kitten dragged its still-healed leg and followed Sansan closely, even rubbing against Sansan's leg from time to time.
Sansan also liked her and would reach out to pet the kitten every now and then. Although Lin Banxia had taken the kitten to get vaccinated recently, Yun Zhaozhao was still worried, since Sansan was still too young. So Yun Zhaozhao specifically reminded her, " Sansan, you can look at the kitten, but you can't touch it directly~ Otherwise, it might scratch you."
Sansan agreed readily on the surface, but as soon as she turned her back, she went back to hanging out with the kitten. She even secretly kept the steamed sausages that Daoist Chang Kong had prepared for them at noon, sharing half with the kitten.
Yun Zhaozhao had never owned a pet, so she didn't really know that pets shouldn't eat human food. Lin Banxia had kept a pet for a while, but she didn't care much about this, so she didn't interfere.
As for Sansan, she understood even less. She thought it was good enough to have meat to eat, why be picky? She knew many stray animals couldn't even find meat to eat!
Ever since Jingting showed off these 10 adorable kids in her live stream, netizens have been saying they want to see more of them every time Jingting goes live.
Jingting doesn't always fulfill these netizens' requests, but he does occasionally. And because Jingting's livestream times are irregular, the cute kids he shows his viewers are also inconsistent. Sometimes he streams the 10 little Daoist priests practicing Tai Chi Chuan with Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao at the entrance of Clear Breeze Temple; sometimes he streams the 10 little Daoist priests helping Daoist Chang Kong prepare vegetables in the kitchen; and sometimes, like now, he streams them watering, fertilizing, and weeding in the backyard with Lin Banxia...
Just as the scene flashed by, we saw Sansan secretly feeding the kitten a piece of meat.
It has to be said that the visual impact of cute kids appearing together with adorable pets is quite significant, which is why netizens quickly noticed it.
[Is this little girl the youngest of the new Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple? I noticed her last time. She's so fair and delicate, like a piece of tofu, so cute!]
Is this kitten her own? It seems quite affectionate with her!
Jingting to the viewers in the live stream asking about Sansan and the kitten, he shifted his phone back to the stream and gave them a few more words of introduction. However, this time he didn't dare mention that Clear Breeze Temple could take in stray cats, for fear that if someone brought another stray cat over, he would be implicated and scolded. He only focused on introducing Sansan.
Jingting: [This little girl is my junior sister, her name is Sansanzi, you can call her Sansan. She is indeed the youngest among these children. But I feel that she is very self-reliant. Not only can she take care of herself, but she can also take care of the stray cat next to her! Wait a minute, let me ask her to say hello to you...]
Jingting moved her phone over, then forced what she thought was a very gentle smile and said to Sansan, "[ Sansan, your senior's fans in his livestream want to chat with you. Would you like to say hello to them?]"
Sansan put down the meat in her hand and waved confidently at the camera: [Hello everyone, my name is Sansanzi, and I'm 3 years old!]
Netizen: [Wow! Hello, little Sansanzi!]
Sansanzi stared intently at the various comments flashing rapidly on Jingting's phone for a long time, then looked up at Jingting and said, "Senior brother, what are all these comments on my phone? I can't read them, I don't understand."
Jingting: "... Don't you recognize a single word?"
Sansanzi suddenly exclaimed proudly, "[That's not true. I've recently learned to write my own name! And I write it really well, I'll show you!]"
During their live stream, Sansanzi and Jingting were squatting in the muddy backyard, surrounded by various dead branches. Jingting picked up a branch for Sansan, and then Sansan started writing her name stroke by stroke in the mud. And you know what? She actually wrote it quite well, at least the lines were straight.
After Jingting, Jingting couldn't help but praise, "It's so well written, even better than mine. It seems our Sansan will definitely be a top student when she goes to school."
Sansanzi: "What does it mean to be a top student?"
Jingting: "A top student is someone who is very good at studying and can get into university, just like our Abbot."
Sansanzi didn't know anything about academic elites or what it meant to take the college entrance exam. In her limited understanding, getting into university meant becoming the abbot of the temple. As the abbot, she could command others like Yun Zhaozhao, and they would do whatever she wanted. In reality, Yun Zhaozhao didn't command others much, but everyone in Clear Breeze Temple Yun Zhaozhao obeyed her orders. Although Sansan was young, she was also very perceptive, so she could naturally see that Yun Zhaozhao held a very high position in Clear Breeze Temple.
So she naturally and smoothly continued what Jingting had said, " Sansanzi wants to be a top student, Sansanzi wants to go to university."
Jingting teased her, "And what happens after you get into university?"
Sansan: "I'll become the abbot after I get into university."
Jingting: "...???"
The viewers in the live stream next door:
[Hahaha, Sansanzi is so cute, so idealistic and ambitious.]
[This is the legendary saying, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old!" I must say, Jingting knows how to teach children; she's planted the seed of becoming a nun in a child's heart at such a young age.]
[It seems Clear Breeze Temple has a successor.]
[You 'Jingting better not let your abbot see this, or I'm afraid you'll get a beating.]
While the viewers in the Jingting stream were busy entertaining the child, Yun Zhaozhao and Tang Li were discussing a series of promotional activities for the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple.
Although Clear Breeze Temple has been promoting itself, it has mainly focused on the Clear Breeze Temple's food, scenery, and various online and offline activities, with relatively little promotion targeting specific individuals within the Clear Breeze Temple.
The only promotional clip featuring Yun Zhaozhao was from a previous media interview where a new generation of college students supported Daoist traditional culture through entrepreneurship. The interview was well-received at the time, and some of Yun Zhaozhao's college classmates even came to Clear Breeze Temple Yun Zhaozhao to catch up with her.
However, there is relatively little publicity about Daoist priests.
The core resources of a Daoist temple undoubtedly lie with its Daoist priests. Previously, Clear Breeze Temple had only two priests, Daoist Chang Kong and Daoist Priest Jingting, so their introductions might not have been very impressive. But things are different now. Now, with highly respected Daoist elders like Martial Uncle Chuli, a group of lively and adorable newcomers, and established figures like Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao, Clear Breeze Temple boasts a diverse array of Daoist priests. Surely, there's one that the locals of City A will trust or like.
So Tang Li's idea is to take some time to properly introduce each person's characteristics and strengths.
Yun Zhaozhao had no objection. "Sure! You can make the arrangements. Just tell them how you need their cooperation, or you can tell me and I'll talk to them."
Tang Li's plan was quite good. "Let's start by properly introducing the people in our Daoist temple. After the new temple is built, we'll introduce it to everyone properly then. Only by increasing our presence in front of the public will they be more familiar with Clear Breeze Temple in the future. Even celebrities need to constantly be trending and in the news to maintain their popularity!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "That makes sense."
As the two were talking, the HR lady suddenly smiled at her phone.
Tang Li asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
The HR lady glanced at Yun Zhaozhao and said first, "Please don't be angry, Abbot!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I'm not angry. You've known me for so long, when have you ever seen me angry?"
The HR lady thought about it and realized it was true, so she directly showed Yun Zhaozhao Jingting's live stream. "I was slacking off at work just now and accidentally saw Daoist Priest Jingting's live stream. He's chatting with our new Daoist Master Sansan. Do you know what Sansan's dream is? It's to go to university, become a top student, and then become the abbot! It seems you're under a lot of pressure, Abbot..."
Yun Zhaozhao and Tang Li exchanged a glance. They had just mentioned introducing the Daoist priest, and here was the perfect material for their story!
Tang Li: "I've thought of a title—'A Daoist priest who doesn't want to be the abbot isn't a qualified academic genius.'"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Chapter 78
Clear Breeze Temple now has its own official website, and Tang Li, being a copywriter by training, didn't spend money hiring media to introduce the Tang Li priest; he handled it himself.
He plans to publish the article directly on his own official website after it is finished, and then, if a suitable channel comes along, he will push it to other online platforms as appropriate.
The first person he introduced was little Sansan.
Introducing children can be simple in some ways, because kids are so photogenic and look good no matter how you photograph them; but it can also be difficult, because children aren't as cooperative as adults. Often you ask them questions, they answer them in their own world, and sometimes you can ask them for ages while they're completely absorbed in their own world and haven't heard a word you're saying...
Fortunately, although Tang Li has never been in a relationship, he is very patient. If once doesn't work, he asks twice, and if twice doesn't work, he asks three times... He is determined to write the most touching, childlike, and interesting article to introduce little Sansan.
It took several days to finish a promotional article of over a thousand words.
