Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

After getting on the national road to Yingtian, the provincial capital, Lin Xi asked Ni Lingwei who was sitting on the side: "Sister Lingwei, what did my mother say to you last night? We talked for so long?"

After hearing this, Ni Lingwei turned her head to look at Lin Xi, and asked, "Do you want to know?"

After hearing this, Lin Xi thought to himself, isn't this nonsense, I don't want to know, why are you asking?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, he just nodded solemnly at Ni Lingwei, and said in a deep voice, "I want to know!"

"I won't tell you, giggle!" Ni Lingwei said with a smile.

"You..." After hearing Ni Lingwei's words, Lin Xi couldn't say anything other than this word.

Along the way, Ni Lingwei kept looking at Lin Xi's face, and chuckled lightly from time to time, making someone very depressed.The more Lin Xiyue was like this, the more proud Ni Lingwei was, until finally someone threatened: "If you are doing this, then don't blame me for being rude!"

While saying this, Lin Xi stretched out his right hand, spread five fingers, and intentionally gestured at the two plump peaks on Ni Lingwei's chest.

Out of knowing someone, Ni Lingwei subconsciously chose to shut up and put her hands on her chest to prevent surprise attacks.

The journey of more than 100 kilometers, the two talked and laughed, but it didn't feel long.

After entering Yingtian County, Lin Xi subconsciously became tense.In his previous life, although he had dealt with many provincial and ministerial officials, those were different from this time, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy in his heart.

After seeing Lin Xi's performance, Ni Lingwei smiled and said: "It's okay, my dad is very kind, and you have saved Qianxue and me before, don't worry, the old man will not only not make things difficult for you, but will also treat you very warmly." .”

After hearing this, Lin Xi thought for a while, and felt that what Ni Lingwei said was indeed somewhat reasonable, so he was relieved.

Even so, when the car drove along Hebin Avenue to the family area of ​​the Provincial Party Committee, Lin Xi was still a little nervous, and he subconsciously slowed down the speed of the car to adjust his mood.

When the white Santana was parked at the gate of the No. [-] courtyard, Lin Xi's mood basically calmed down.

Aunt Chen led Qianxue and waited at the door. After hearing the sound of the car, she couldn't wait to open the courtyard door.

Seeing that not only her mother came back, but also Lin Xi, Qianxue clapped her little hands and said happily, "Uncle Lin, you're really here, that's great, I thought Aunt Chen was lying to me!"

After hearing this, Aunt Chen stretched out her hand to caress Qianxue's head, and then said with a smile, "Qianxue, you should trust Aunt Chen now!"

Seeing this, Qianxue smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Xi walked into the courtyard with Qianxue in his arms, saw Ni Lingwei's mother standing at the door, and hurriedly greeted her, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Xiao Lin is here, come and sit at home!" Ni Lingwei's mother greeted warmly.

Lin Xi took Qianxue's hand and walked into the house behind Ni Lingwei's mother and daughter. Seeing them coming from the sofa, she quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Secretary Ni, hello!"

Ni Lingwei knew about Lin Xi's rescue of Ni Lingwei and Qianxue for a long time, and she had been looking for an opportunity to say thank you to him. This time, she finally got her wish, and she will not put on airs as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

"Xiao Lin, don't be so polite at home, just call him Uncle!" Ni Huaishu said while extending a broad palm towards Lin Xi.

Seeing this, Lin Xi quickly stretched out his hands to shake Ni Huaishu.As the three hands clasped together, Lin Xi felt the strength in the opponent's hand, which made the trace of worry in his heart completely disappear.

During the meal, Ni Huaishu even specially drank some wine with Lin Xi, and his appreciation for him was obvious in his words.

Seeing this, Ni Lingwei subconsciously winked her eyes.

Lin Xi turned a blind eye to this and did not respond.The reason why he responded this way was because he knew very well in his heart that if he flirted with Ni Lingwei in front of an old Jianghu like Ni Huaishu, it would be an old birthday star who hanged himself—looking for death.

After lunch, Ni Huaishu went to the study with Lin Xi to chat for half an hour. Later, because Qianxue was arguing to go to the playground, Lin Xi and Ni Lingwei took her there.

Lin Xi also ate dinner at Ni's house, but Ni Huaishu was not at home at night.

After eating, Lin Xi chatted with Ni Lingwei's mother for a while, and then stood up to say goodbye.Ni Lingwei drove him to the hotel and followed him.

After the two got into the car, Ni Lingwei asked Lin Xi, "How is it? How do you feel after this day?"

"Very good, ha ha!" Lin Xi replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Ni Lingwei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When you came from Qingyuan in the morning, you were not as relaxed as you are now!"

Seeing this, Lin Xi scratched his head in embarrassment, but didn't speak.

"By the way, when you and my dad went to the study, did you mention the Dongsheng Coal Mine?" Ni Lingwei asked.

After seeing Lin Xi shaking his head, Ni Lingwei asked curiously: "What's the matter, didn't you say you wanted to mention this to him before, wouldn't you be so nervous that you forgot?"

"How can it be?" Lin Xi said, "I really wanted to mention this, but seeing that the old man was very interested, I couldn't say it."

After hearing this, Ni Lingwei was startled, he understood what Lin Xi meant.Since what happened last summer, Dad has indeed been a different person, more sullen.She just mentioned it to Lin Xi, but she didn't expect the other party to remember this in her heart.

Ni Lingwei could also tell that Dad was very happy today, if Lin Xi brought up the matter of the coal mine at this time, it would most likely spoil his interest.It seems that the reason why Lin Xi chose not to mention this is entirely for the sake of the old man.

After realizing this, Ni Lingwei turned to look at Lin Xi and said seriously: "Lin Xi, thank you!"

"Sister Ling Wei, you're saying the wrong thing. I should thank you. You helped me introduce a high-ranking vice-provincial official for me today, ha ha!" Lin Xi joked.

"Fuck you, you're talking nonsense, why don't you drive faster!" Ni Lingwei said angrily.

Early the next morning, Lin Xi returned to Qingyuan.Ni Lingwei didn't have much to do during this time, and she planned to stay in Yingtian for a while, so that Lin Xi could contact him if necessary.

That night, Lin Xi finally met his father.Lin Jiaqiang looked very tired, and the two dark circles on his face looked very conspicuous.

After the father and son sat down in the study, Lin Xi asked, "Dad, what's going on, why did the employees of the department store suddenly make a fuss?"

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Jiaqiang said, "It can't be regarded as a sudden disturbance. Because of a proper solution, the county has been dragging this matter. The employees of the department store have to eat. After a long time, the government has not made a clear decision. It is not surprising that there is a commotion."

After hearing his father's answer, Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "Dad, are you saying that there is no other special reason for this, and it's all caused by the workers because they can't get their wages?"

Lin Xi was very concerned about this point. Although his father is now Qingyuan's county party secretary, he can't tell clearly about the affairs in the officialdom.

After hearing what his son said, Lin Jiaqiang nodded his head lightly, and then said: "Since this incident broke out, while doing comforting work, I have also conducted research and inquiries from multiple aspects, and there is no other reason. .”

Seeing his father's serious expression, Lin Xi nodded slightly. What he was most worried about was that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.Since there is no such problem, then the remaining things are easy to handle.

"Dad, didn't you keep saying before, do you want to find a way, no one is willing to take over the department store? Besides, the terrain here is quite good!" Lin Xi asked with a puzzled expression.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's question, he sighed softly, and said, "We talked with two shopping malls in Minzhou, and they are interested in buying them, but the premise is that they don't accept department store employees. You said we can agree?"

Lin Xi nodded slightly after hearing this. Judging from his father's communication with him last time, the meaning of the county is very clear. It doesn't matter whether the department store makes money or not, but it must not cause accidents. To put it bluntly, stability overwhelms everything. .

Now that these two shopping malls are unwilling to hire employees from Qingyuan Department Store, if the county agrees, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
