Inside the room:
"So that's how it is." Zhao Hao couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Hu Xianxun's journey; he really was the boy next door! Zhao Hao had thought it was a persona given to Hu Xianxun by his company, but it turned out the fake Li Gui was actually the real Li Kui! It truly caught Zhao Hao off guard.
"Exactly!" Hu Xianxun quickly responded when he heard Zhao Hao's words. "I thought they were going to make me be the guide all by myself! It scared me to death! Luckily, now I have you to be the guide with me! If you're the guide, we won't have to worry about language problems at all!"
"Aren't you afraid I don't know English?" Zhao Hao couldn't resist teasing him when he heard Hu Xianxun's words.
"You don't?" As expected, upon hearing this, Hu Xianxun suddenly became nervous and looked at Zhao Hao.
"I do, don't worry!" "But it's fine! I do!"
'He really is the boy next door! But it seems like I'm the youngest, right?' Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh again as he looked at Hu Xianxun, then forcefully pulled the topic back to the Director Team's work: "Let's look at the itinerary provided by the program team and plan the schedule, since we're departing tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
After speaking, as the takeout arrived, the two sat together to discuss the itinerary for the first eight days.
"So, if we follow the itinerary, our first stop is Riyadh. The trip will be eight days in total, and there are some mandatory activities, along with some study tour tasks! These are like required courses."
"Mhm!" Zhao Hao was both satisfying his hunger and leaning in with Hu Xianxun to look at the itinerary. "In that case, we can first sort out transportation and accommodation. As for activities, it's best to discuss that with the older sisters. And for food, that's relatively simple; we can decide on a restaurant on the day, or just go to a local place and eat wherever we happen to pass by! We can be more spontaneous."
"Mhm mhm! I think so too. We should first ensure accommodation and travel are sorted out! Only then can we relax and enjoy the activities and food. At the same time, I think we should also ask for the older sisters' opinions!" Hu Xianxun nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhao Hao's suggestion.
"Okay! Then let's book the hotel and transportation first!" Zhao Hao nodded when he heard Hu Xianxun's words, then proceeded to assign tasks. "How about this! I'll look for the hotel, and you look into car rentals and flight tickets. You can communicate everything to me later. As for food and activities, let's discuss that within the team later!"
"What do you think?" After speaking, Zhao Hao had also finished his meal, tidied up the battlefield, and then looked at Hu Xianxun, asking.
"Can do!" Hu Xianxun clapped the lid on his finished meal box and shouted with immense enthusiasm, "But for confirming the hotel, it's best to send it in the group chat for the older sisters to review. Once they confirm, we can contact the hotel."
"And on my end, I'll first confirm where the car rental places are in Riyadh to avoid being lost as soon as we land. Also, we need to get eight local SIM cards!"
Upon hearing Hu Xianxun's reply and his own insights, Zhao Hao and Hu Xianxun took the itinerary and began their separate searches! Finding a hotel in 3203 was undoubtedly much simpler. You just had to search on an app and you'd always find something suitable, especially with an itinerary meticulously prepared by the Director Team for a long time. It was naturally 'easier than eating raw vegetables'!
In no time, Zhao Hao found a hotel that met the Hua Shao Group's size and budget. He handed his phone to Hu Xianxun for a look. After getting internal consensus, he directly posted it in the 'Ba La La Little Magic Fairy' group chat, along with a message.
"Older sisters, this is the hotel Xian Xun and I have tentatively booked. Please take a look and see if it works. If there are no issues, I'll book it in advance! Although the price is slightly higher, the benefit is that we'll all be staying together, and it's not too far from the airport!" At the same time, Zhao Hao immediately exercised his privilege as the group owner with admin rights! @all.

Qin Hailu: "If everyone stays together, it will be much more convenient. Let's go with this one."

"Alright! The hotel issue is resolved. Next up is car rental!" Zhao Hao felt a slight sense of relief seeing the uniform replies in the group. One of the biggest fears when traveling in a group is disagreement! Or not being able to agree on things!
If you go to Kyoto, and you insist on climbing the Great Wall, but I want to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and he wants to see the Forbidden City, and you only have one day, then conflicts will arise. Moreover, group travel isn't just about attractions; coordinating habits is the most crucial thing. So, unified hotel choice is undoubtedly a victory!
Although Zhao Hao felt immense coordination when he watched Flower is Young in his previous life, who could guarantee that this world's Hua Shao Group would be so harmonious!
"What do you think about finding a local guide?" Hu Xianxun, who was busy searching on his phone, said without looking up when he heard Zhao Hao's words.
"That's a good idea! If we find a local guide, it would save a lot of trouble, and they could even handle the car rental issue. But there's one problem: local guides aren't cheap!" Zhao Hao also agreed with this suggestion, but the cost was a big issue. After all, anything involving a 'guide,' no matter what they're guiding, will be expensive! And the Hua Shao Group variety show, to put it nicely, is a study tour, but to put it less nicely, it's budget travel. While they won't let your funds run so low that you can't afford to eat, there will still be certain restrictions.
"Then let's ask the older sisters for their opinions! Actually, I think Zhao Hao, you could totally act as the local guide." Hu Xianxu thought about it and agreed, finally deciding to let everyone vote.
"While it's possible! It's better to first contact the local guides to check the prices. Then let the older sisters discuss whether we rent ourselves or have a local guide handle everything."
"OK!" Hu Xianxun also nodded.
— The phone call dividing line —
"It's settled. If a local guide handles everything, the cost will be a bit tight, but still within an acceptable range. As for cars! It will be three cars from the airport to the hotel, and then we only need one car in between. During the trip, we won't need a local guide, meaning if we only have the local guide help on the first and last day, the cost can be lower!"
"Then let's do that!"
"Then I'll send it in the group."

Shuai Dao Bei Ren Da: "Hello, beautiful older sisters! The hotel and car issues have been resolved. Now it's about activities and food!"
Shuai Dao Bei Ren Da: "Regarding food, this is what Xian Xun and I are thinking: we'll do some preliminary research, which means marking down some good restaurants or specialty shops in Saudi Arabia. But except for the first day's restaurant, which we'll book in advance, the other seven days will be spontaneous, eating wherever we happen to be. The main idea is freedom! And we can also try local specialties. The preliminary research is just to give the older sisters a reference. What do you older sisters think? @all 'From the group owner's gaze.JPG'"
Wang Anyu: "Question.JPG Am I not a person?.JPG"
Qin Lan: "O(∩_∩)O Haha~! An Yu, you're an older sister too!"
Qin Hailu: "Zhao Hao, change your name!"
Qin Lan: "I think it's good, since it's an international trip, a bit of freedom is better."
Zhao Zhaoyi: "What the upstairs said is right.JPG"
Zhao Hao: "@Qin Hailu Little cat salute received.JPG So, food is decided. Next, please welcome @Xian Xun to explain 'Travel'!"
Hu Xianxun: "Thank you for the unprofessional introduction above!"
Wang Anyu: "Are you two going to start a crosstalk performance? Guo Degang's gaze.JPG"
Hu Xianxun: "Regarding travel, our idea is to have a local guide handle it, but only for the first and last day, for the round trip between the airport and the hotel. This way, we can save the cost of one car. We've also discussed it with the local guide in Riyadh, and this can be done. So normally we'll have two cars, and on the two days of airport and hotel transfers, the local guide will handle it."
"At other times, because Zhao Hao is proficient in Arabic, and An Yu and Reba are also proficient in English, I think we won't need any further accompaniment."
