Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 110 109. Banner
Time flies in the mountains.

The two of them didn't do anything, just walked around and watched the sun set and the temperature dropped noticeably.

Lin Xiao looked at the watch and it was almost five o'clock.

"Go back!" he said.

"……All right!"

Han Xixi spoke in a low voice, knowing that it would be difficult for her to have this kind of vacation in the future, and even more difficult for her to have the opportunity to spend it with Lin Xiao...

She was in a very low mood, but she had no choice but to obey.

Lin Xiao understood her emotions and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll bring you here anytime you want to come and play whenever you're free!"

Han Xixi's eyes lit up.

"really?"

"Of course, I can still trick you into a little girl!"

"Humph! You act like you're much older than me...Lin Xiao!!"

Han Xixi deliberately called his name very loudly.

Lin Xiao frowned and remained speechless.

Now it is finally confirmed that this girl is determined to follow through on calling me by my full name.

Come out of the mountains.

The two got in the car and returned the same way.

Back on the highway, Han Xixi saw people selling boiled corn on the roadside and his eyes lit up.

Lin Xiao knew what was going on at a glance.

I was helpless, but I still stopped the car, got out and bought two, then got back on the road.

Open the map and take a look.

The national highway heading towards Ninghai is almost entirely red, and the expressway is better, but it is also orange-yellow.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to drive to Anyang County.

It was already the last day of the three-day New Year's Day holiday. In the evening, the roads were filled with vehicles returning to the city.

Lin Xiao watched the sun set in the west and felt anxious.

But the road conditions and the people did not allow him to drive fast.

Not to mention the road conditions, the main thing is that the people next to me were also restless.

Along the way, Han Xixi was attracted by the people selling sugarcane, grapefruit, and steamed dumplings.

She also knew that time was urgent, so she didn't ask for it.

But looking at her eager eyes, Lin Xiao could only stop the car again and again to buy things for her.

As a result, I could have gotten on the highway in half an hour, but I had to wait in line at the highway entrance until dark.

Han Xixi was not in a hurry at all.

He made a garbage bag at his feet, peeled grapefruit, chewed sugarcane, and ate buns. Sometimes he couldn't peel the fruits by himself and asked Lin Xiao for help.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to help, after all, he bought it on his own initiative.

So I could only peel this and chew that for her.

Han Xixi was not stingy and fed him a lot of food, such as corn, buns, grapefruit...but sugarcane was too troublesome to feed him, so he didn't feed him that.

At half past seven, the car finally got on the highway.

At nine o'clock, Xiao Ben finally stopped in the underground garage of Tianlanyuan. The two were so exhausted from the noise all the way.

The first thing I did when I went upstairs was to go to the bathroom.

Lin Xiao was afraid that Han Xixi was anxious but was too embarrassed to say it, so he let her go first. Han Xixi was too embarrassed to admit that she was anxious, so she let him go first.

It was also funny to see two people guarding the toilet door and being polite to each other.

For the first time, Lin Xiao felt that a small house was indeed not good. It was really inconvenient not to have two toilets.

……

I ate a lot along the way and didn't need to have dinner.

Lin Xiao knew that Xixi would return to Haicheng tomorrow, so he was not in a hurry to leave tonight and bought a high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow morning.

The two were tired after shopping all day and being stuck in traffic.

We didn't chat any more, just washed up and went to bed.

Six o'clock the next morning.

Lin Xiao got up quietly and prepared to catch the high-speed train, afraid of waking up Han Xixi.

As a result, I was just about to go out.

When I was putting on my coat, I saw a bottle of milk and a bag of bread on the cabinet in the entrance hall.

There is a note on the bread: Remember to eat breakfast~
She also drew a simple cute rabbit at the back, which is her favorite WeChat emoticon package.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Looking towards the big room, I knew Xixi was sleeping peacefully inside. For some reason, I felt indescribably at ease.

Carrying bread and milk, he went out and took a taxi straight to the high-speed rail station.

First I took the high-speed rail to Anyang, then took a taxi home after getting off the train - the car was still at home.

I wanted to drive away secretly, but it was not surprising that I ran into my parents, so I couldn't avoid being questioned again.

It took me a long time to deal with it, and then I drove to work.

When we arrived at the town compound, it was exactly half past eight.

"Phew, what a morning!" he breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know if it’s a new year, a new atmosphere.

Lin Xiao met and greeted his colleagues along the way. He felt that everyone looked brand new and in very good spirits.

Sit down in the office.

Just as I made the coffee, Xiao Liu from the office suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Lin Zhen, someone is looking for you downstairs!"

When Lin Xiao heard his anxious tone, his heart immediately tightened.

"Who are you? Are you here to petition?" he asked subconsciously.

"I don't know. It was a middle-aged man with a fierce face. He asked to see you by name... I don't know how he got in!" Xiao Liu was a little frightened.

Lin Xiao frowned and was speechless for a moment.

If you mention someone by name, then he is probably the one who is petitioning.

"Where's Qin Zhen?"

"Qin Zhen is not here. He went to the county for a meeting."

"...Okay, I'll go down right away!"

Lin Xiao frowned.

I thought the first day after the holiday would be very busy, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen just after I got to work.

He took a deep breath and quickly switched to combat mode.

Come downstairs quickly.

While still standing on the steps, I saw a middle-aged man in the hall downstairs, standing with his hands behind his back and a serious look on his face.

But as soon as she saw him, she quickly smiled.

Lin Xiao was a little nearsighted, and it took him two steps closer to recognize him - wasn't this his distant cousin Deng Guanghua?

He was one of the people being relocated on the Xuefu Yaju site, and the one who had taken the lead in petitioning with banners at the gate of the compound.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised, but quickly switched to smiling.

"Brother, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm here to give you a banner!"

Deng Guanghua smiled knowingly, quickly pulled open his cotton coat, and pulled out a red curler from the belt on his buttocks.

With a wave in front of his face, a silk banner suddenly opened in front of him.

Lin Xiao was stunned as he watched this smooth operation.

Taking two steps back, I saw eight big words written on the banner: "Keep the promise and serve the people."

The signature is "Presented to Lin Xiao, Deputy Mayor of Chaobai Town, Anyang County".

The large characters were written in a glittering manner and were embossed with gold powder.

Lin Xiao was almost blinded by the scene and was so surprised.

"Brother, you..."

"Zhenggang told me about the signing of the Xuefu Yaju project. The developer taking over this time is a big company, and it will definitely not be left unfinished again!"

Deng Guanghua smiled with wrinkles all over his face, "Zhenggang also said that it was all your credit that this project could be revitalized. Oh, Xiaoxiao, you solved the long-standing problem for us relocated residents!

“Last time you promised to give me an explanation before the end of the year, but I didn’t really believe it. I thought that you were just a kid and new here, so how could you easily solve something that Zheng Gang couldn’t solve?

"But I didn't expect that you not only solved it, but solved it so quickly. You said it would be before the Lunar New Year, but it was signed before the Gregorian New Year. If nothing unexpected happens, we will receive the demolition compensation before the New Year. Now we can finally have a good New Year. Tell me, you solved such a big problem for us, should I accept this banner?"

Lin Xiao was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "Brother, the success of this project is not just my own achievement, the leadership team has also contributed... It's so inappropriate for you to give me a banner!"

Deng Guanghua was very understanding: "Don't worry, I understand. I won't make it difficult for you, so I am sending it quietly! And this banner is given to you in my personal name. Later, we, the relocated households, will send a larger banner to the town in the name of the group, and we will send it with drums and gongs. You can keep this one first... Do you want to take a photo?"

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This guy really understands the market and even knows how to take photos for promotion.

"No, no, brother, I accept the banner, thank you!"

"I should be thanking you... Then I won't disturb you from working. We'll have dinner at your house tomorrow. We're all relatives here, so we should get together, right?"

"Yes Yes!"

Lin Xiao nodded in response.

Although he knew that this relative was no longer related to him, there was no need to reject his kindness. Deng Guanghua left with a smile.

Lin Xiao returned to the office with the banner, feeling happy.

I wanted to put it away, but I couldn't help spreading it out on the table and admiring it again and again. The more I looked at it, the more my smile curled up.

This is not a complacent emotion, but a sense of satisfaction from being recognized by the masses.

It is something that cannot be replaced no matter how much money you make.

Just like when he received the 40 yuan copyright fee from Cao Yuanzhi yesterday, he just glanced at it and didn't feel much emotional.

But looking at this banner now, the production cost may be only a dozen yuan.

He was happier than ever before. He kept stopping to admire it and felt like he was elevated.

Finally, he changed his previous low-key style and hung it directly on the wall without worrying about it being conspicuous.

I spent a long time adjusting the angle by myself.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

He admired it, squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking that it was a good start for the new year.

……

At 11 o'clock, Qin Zhenggang came back from the town with a happy face and called the team to a meeting.

"Before the meeting, I have some good news to announce to everyone!"

The corners of Qin Zhenggang's mouth were harder to suppress than AK. It seemed that he had never smiled so blatantly before. He glanced at Lin Xiao several times as if unintentionally.

"First of all, everyone should have heard that on the last day before New Year's Day, which is December 12st, the land next to Chaobai Middle School was successfully revitalized! The county has signed an agreement with Dijin Group, and 31 million yuan of funds will be in place soon. The compensation for the relocated households can finally be smoothly distributed!"

Before he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

Now, not only Qin Zhenggang, but everyone looked at Lin Xiao. Obviously, everyone knew who deserved the credit for this incident.

Qin Zhenggang waved his hand and said, "Second, although the official document has not been issued yet, the county leaders have already made a decision. I would like to share this good news with you in advance - Deputy Mayor Jia Bo will be transferred to work in the county trade union. His position and rank will remain unchanged. The letter from the Organization Department should be delivered in the next two days!"

This news came unexpectedly to everyone.

Although the trade union is not a department with real power, it is famous for having many idle positions and is a first-class retirement unit.

The main thing is.

The chairman of the union of a county trade union, a deputy-division-level unit, is usually a deputy county leader who also serves as the chairman and his rank is higher than that of a street or town leader.

Jia Bo’s current actual position is deputy section chief, and his nominal position is first-level chief section officer.

In terms of honorary positions, he has already reached the ceiling in the town, and the possibility of being promoted further is very small.

He is 55 years old this year and has applied to the Organization Department for retirement.

Of course, to put it nicely, he applied for it himself, but in fact, this kind of thing has its own logic within the system.

If you don't apply, the organization will ask you to withdraw, but it just looks better if you apply yourself.

As per usual.

Jia Bo should resign from his actual position, that is, the position of deputy mayor, and retain the rank of first-level chief clerk.

In terms of treatment, his monthly salary is dozens of yuan higher than that of the town mayor Qin Zhenggang. After all, his rank and length of service are there.

But after leaving his job, his career ended here.

There is a high probability that a first-level chief clerk will retire.

But if you are transferred to the county trade union, you will be promoted at least one level before retirement, that is, from a first-level chief clerk to a fourth-level researcher.

This is equivalent to a promotion from section chief to deputy director - although it is only reflected in salary.

This step is a natural barrier within the system.

80% of people in the system will fail at this step, especially at the grassroots level.

So when Qin Zheng just announced the good news, everyone in the room was very surprised.

Because everyone knows how valuable this job transfer is, and it is not just reflected in the salary of a few hundred yuan.

Of course, although I was surprised, there was nothing to be confused about.

After all, although the revitalization of the Xuefu Yaju project was promoted by Lin Xiao alone, it was Jia Bo's job.

Now that the project has been re-signed and 100 million yuan has arrived in the blink of an eye, the county must give Jia Bo credit for it, and it is reasonable to arrange his deputy director's treatment before he retires.

However, everyone present knew that Jia Bo's good luck was clearly due to Lin Xiao.

Jabo knew it himself.

So after the meeting, he went to Lin Xiao's office to express his gratitude, and said that he would treat the team members to dinner tonight and he must come.

"Okay, Brother Bo!" Lin Xiao naturally agreed.

"Then I'll go first... Nice banner!"

Jabo looked at the wall and said with a smile.

Lin Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but the two of them smiled at each other.

……

The Organization Department acted quickly.

Qin Zheng had just conveyed the news in the morning, and Jia Bo's transfer order came in the afternoon - because it was just a transfer and not a promotion, the only procedure required was a red-headed document with a stamp.

Jia Bo now felt relieved.

In the evening, he invited everyone to dinner. Several town mayors, deputy mayors, and some older comrades from the unit came.

Because it was a happy event, the atmosphere in the private room was harmonious and everyone gave Jia Bo their sincere blessings.

After three rounds of drinking.

Jia Bo came to Lin Xiao with a glass of wine in his hand and said sincerely, "Brother, I won't say much. Keep in touch in the future!"

"Sure, bro!"

Lin Xiao spoke sincerely, lowered the rim of the glass, clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

A table of people were reminiscing and chatting.

Qin Zhenggang suddenly said, "This time, the Xuefu Yaju project has been revitalized. We have set a positive example for the city. I heard at the meeting this morning that the city is preparing to introduce a plan to develop the township real estate market... Do you think it is possible that it was inspired by our project?"

The suddenness of these words made Lin Xiao fall into deep thought.

Tu Hui smiled and said, "I think it has something to do with it! When Xuefu Yaju was auctioned last year, it was a demonstration project, and the county leaders attached great importance to it and even made a special report to the city.

"Although it was later abandoned and revived, it further proved the feasibility of this project. As a result, the city began to pay attention to the township real estate market and launched this plan, which was reasonable!"

Jia Minglu said at this time: "I don't think so! The Xuefu Yaju project was just signed before the holiday, it is impossible for the city to know so quickly. Even if they know, it is impossible for them to reflect it in the policy documents immediately."

He paused and continued, "Generally, it takes at least one or two months to draft a policy document like this! Although it has not been issued yet, Qin Zhen heard from the county leaders that it should be almost finished, which means it was brewing at least a month ago - at that time, Di Jin and Long Hui were nowhere to be seen!
"So, if we talk about inspiration, it's not that the city got inspired by our project, but rather that Dijin got wind of it from the city and wanted to seize the market first, so they decided to take over the Xuefu Yaju project so quickly!"

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

In fact, everyone was happy but also confused when Dijin signed the contract so quickly.

After all, for such a big project, no matter how rich the other party is, it will take at least some time to plan and drag it out.

As a result, Dijin was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so it rushed to sign the contract before New Year's Day.

No one understood it before.

Now that the city's policy has been taken into consideration, it becomes clear at a glance.

At the dinner table, Lin Xiao also wanted to understand this.

The mood inevitably became depressed.

Although he did not take the initiative to mention the revitalization of Xuefu Yaju to anyone in the past few days, deep down, he was very proud to have made this project possible.

He didn't feel embarrassed when he received the banner from Deng Guanghua in the morning.

But now he suddenly realized.

The little bit of achievement I made was actually thanks to my father-in-law in the end.

Thinking back to the dinner at Han's house on the evening of the 1st, Han Haijun had an expected reaction when he heard him say that the unfinished building had been successfully revitalized.

I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but now I realize it.

I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Qin Zhenggang found out and said hurriedly: "Minglu is wrong! Even if the city has a policy direction, we have to take the initiative! If Lin Xiao hadn't taken the initiative to contact Di Jin and Long Hui, they probably wouldn't know our Chaobai Town, so how could we take over and revitalize it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded again.

"That's right! It looks easy to fly into the sky, but the wind direction must be right and you have to flap your wings yourself, otherwise it's not that easy!" Tu Hui said with a smile.

"It's not easy to do something at the grassroots level. We just need to have a clear conscience!"

"Even if we are lucky, we are sincerely helping the people solve their practical difficulties, right?"

"Lin Xiao deserves the greatest credit!"

Jia Bo made a suggestion, and everyone quickly agreed, and everyone at the table raised their glasses and drank.

Lin Xiao was flattered and quickly stood up.

Drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The farewell party didn't end until around nine in the evening. Lin Xiao was a little drunk and too lazy to go home, so he just stayed in the dormitory in the courtyard.

I slept until late at night.

I had to pee urgently, so I got up and went to the bathroom. I wanted to drink some hot water but found there was none.

My stomach is empty and I feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly I remembered the bowl of Tremella, red dates and lotus seed soup that Han Xixi cooked for me the day before yesterday afternoon.

Drinking that hot bowl of soup feels so good.

Then take the kettle to boil water.

Listening to the gurgling sound, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's better to have a wife..."
