Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 116 115. This is your sister-in-law

That night, Han Xixi returned to the apartment and wanted to call Lin Xiao to tell him what happened during the day.

Just about to dial.

She remembered that before Lin Xiao came to terminate the contract with her, she had vowed to be beautiful alone and never contact him again.

The contract has just been terminated and Lin Xiao just left this morning.

She couldn't wait to call in the evening.

"Will it seem like I'm too clingy..."

Han Xixi was a little hesitant.

Lin Xiao said to let things take their own course and take things slowly, but now she seems to be in a hurry.

After hesitating for a while, I finally gave up making the call.

Two days later.

While Han Xixi was busy, he was still wondering whether it was time to contact Lin Xiao.

WeChat suddenly received two transfer messages of 5 yuan each, and the transferor was Lin Xiao.

Han Xixi jumped up immediately.

After a moment's pause, I remembered what the 10 yuan was.

Although I felt a little embarrassed, after hesitating for a moment, I readily clicked the payment button.

The phone call came immediately.

Han Xixi adjusted his breathing and swiped to connect.

"At home?" Lin Xiao asked on the other end.

"Ah."

"I've been so busy these past few days that I just remembered about the transfer while eating!"

Lin Xiao apologized, "I wanted to ask for your bank account number, but you never saw it when I sent you a WeChat message, so I just transferred the money via WeChat..."

Han Xixi was silent.

"You can always send me a WeChat message if you have something to say. I will reply as soon as I see it!"

"That's so inefficient! I have to wait for your reply, and you have to wait for my reply... Isn't the purpose of chatting to be convenient?" Lin Xiao said.

"..."

Han Xixi was speechless for a moment.

"Xixi?" Lin Xiao called out.

"Ok?"

"Why aren't you talking? Did I say something wrong?"

"No……"

Han Xixi hesitated for a moment, but still whispered, "I like you to send me WeChat messages..."

In that case, I feel like I have something to look forward to every time I look at my phone!
Lin Xiao was stunned, surprised by her little thought.

This kind of difference between men and women is something he could never understand even if he lived for two lifetimes. He didn't understand how a chat tool could be elevated to the level of likes and dislikes?

But he still said seriously: "Okay, I will send you WeChat directly when I have something to say, and you can reply me when you see it!"

Han Xixi was delighted and responded sweetly: "Yeah!"

The two of them started chatting casually.

Han Xixi talked about how he angrily criticized Yan Na two days ago.

Lin Xiao was surprised: "Really? You are so awesome?"

On the other end of the phone, Han Xixi was scared and shy: "I was really angry at the time, and I rushed out in a fit of anger, scaring Huijie and Jiajia... Do you think I'm a bad person?"

Lin Xiao nodded, thinking that the little lamb had turned into a tigress!
Fortunately, I can’t see the nod on the other side.

"No, I think you did a great job! You helped others when you saw injustice, but now others are stepping on your face. This is intolerable!" Lin Xiao said.

"Really? You really think it's okay for me to do this?"

"no problem!"

"But if I offend Yan Na, I might get into trouble with the company..."

Han Xixi then became a little worried.

Lin Xiao laughed: "Don't worry, artists and companies are interdependent. As long as you are strong enough, no one can control you!"

Han Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Then he laughed and said proudly: "Anyway, I have thought it through. Now I can attack or defend. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Xiao smiled and frowned.

"We can attack and defend? How do you say that?"

"If I stay, the company can't do anything to me, and I will continue to be a big star. If I quit, the company will ban me, and I will go home and be..."

Han Xixi stopped abruptly.

Lin Xiao understood a little: "Little wife?"

"???"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, blush creeping up her earlobes as she pondered these three words.

Then he shouted.

"What do you mean by adding the word 'small'?"

"It means a wife who is younger than me, that's what I mean!"

"..."

Han Xixi pursed her lips and was speechless.

The ambiguity is transmitted through the telephone signal of hundreds of kilometers, conveying the sweet burning feeling.

For a while.

"Lin Xiao, I'm going back to Ninghai this Saturday... Can you pick me up?" Han Xixi asked.

"Saturday?"

Lin Xiao was surprised. "The Chinese New Year is next week. We have to take a day off this Sunday. We only have Saturday to rest. Do you still have time to come back?"

Han Xixi said in a muffled voice: "Well, originally I didn't have time... I asked Sister Hui to arrange the two announcements on one day, so there was a gap the day after tomorrow, and the flight in the morning... I will leave early the next morning!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before he understood.

The little girl clearly squeezed out time to meet him.

I felt a little distressed for a moment and didn't want her to go through so much.

But hearing her excited anticipation on the phone, I couldn't bear to disappoint her, so I agreed: "Okay, I'll pick you up then!"

Han Xixi responded sweetly again.

We chatted a lot about this and that, and then hung up the phone.

Mom Zhou Xiumei just came to the kitchen.

"You haven't finished eating yet?"

The tone was complaining, but there was heartache behind his words.

Because it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xiao had just got home after working overtime, and he was eating the meal that was specially reserved for him.

Lin Xiao quickly shoveled the last bit of rice into his mouth.

Zhou Xiumei cleaned up the dishes and suddenly asked, "Your brother is on holiday this Saturday, go pick him up from school... Are you free on Saturday?"

Lin Xiao's heart sank as he thought of going to the airport to pick up Han Xixi.

He hurriedly said, "Let him come back by himself. The school is not far from home!"

Zhou Xiumei explained, "It's the end of the semester, and I asked him to bring back all the quilts from school. I need to wash and dry them carefully, and bring them back when school starts next year! He can't carry them all by himself, so go pick him up!"

Seeing that he looked troubled, she asked again, "Why, are you in trouble?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It's okay... Are you going?"

"I have to go to work, and your dad has to go out for a drink because a relative of the Deng family is getting married!" Zhou Xiumei said.

"Deng family?"

"Deng Guanghua, do you have any impression of him?"

"Oh……"

Lin Xiao remembered that it was his distant cousin who was the leader of the victims of the Xuefu Yaju project.

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiumei also looked surprised: "In fact, this relationship has long been five generations apart, but people remember your kindness as the deputy mayor and solved such a big problem as the factory demolition compensation. I am very grateful to you.

"This time, she specifically got my phone number from your grandmother's house and called me to invite me to dinner, and she also insisted that you go as well. I know you're busy, and I'm also afraid that if you go there, a bunch of people will come to you to do things, so I turned them down for you and let your dad go!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

My mother knows her own limitations. She hates this kind of occasion the most, so it’s best to turn it down.

In this case, the task of picking up my brother during the holiday has to fall on me.

Fortunately, the county town is this big.

He first went to Anyang No. 1 Middle School to pick up his younger brother Lin Yu, and then went to the airport to pick up Han Xixi.

Totally in time!
……

Go to work the next day.

Lin Xiao continued to follow Qin Zhenggang to the enterprises to check the environmental protection.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the town is already in a state of chaos. Everyone is sorting out the year's summary and preparing for the busiest Spring Festival market of the year.

As a result, less than ten days before the holiday, an official document suddenly came down from the county - the provincial environmental protection inspection team will launch a new round of environmental protection inspections after the new year.

Yizhou is on the list of prefecture-level cities to be investigated this year.

In mid-February, the inspection team will enter Yizhou City, and what will follow will be a three-month-long on-site environmental inspection.

Who knows, one day the investigation might reach Anyang County or Chaobai Town!
In recent years, the country has been strictly enforcing environmental protection, not only to protect the blue sky, green water and clean land, but also to eliminate backward production capacity and achieve industrial upgrading.

In the long run, environmental protection work will definitely benefit future generations.

But ordinary people can't see that far.

Everyone only knows that environmental protection inspections are carried out every year and factories are closed down one after another.

If the factory owner can't make money, the workers' jobs will be lost.

So, putting aside the opinions of the big bosses, the common people are very resistant to this matter. They feel that compared to whether the air is good or the water is clear, the fatness of their pockets is more important.

As for the town, knowing that the people had strong opinions about this matter, they went to inspect it almost in the face of spit and demanded that the company make rectifications. At the same time, they were also under pressure from economic data. After all, if the factory was closed, taxes could not be collected, and they would be criticized if the data was poor.

It's simply a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place, trying to please neither side.

However, environmental inspection is a mandatory task, and the evaluation standards are all written on paper, without any mercy.

So even though it was difficult, Qin Zhenggang and Lin Xiao had to go and investigate several high-energy-consuming and high-polluting enterprises over and over again, requiring them to complete rectification before the end of the year.

But it's not easy.

These high-energy-consuming and high-polluting enterprises happen to be major taxpayers in Chaobai Town. Among them are two ceramic production plants with annual revenues of more than 50 to 60 million yuan, making them truly large-scale enterprises.

Others, such as some shoe factories and food processing plants, have been gradually upgrading their production lines and improving their sewage and waste gas treatment capabilities in recent years. The main reason is that these factories do not produce much waste water and waste gas, so it is relatively easy to treat them.

But the ceramic factory is different.

The ceramic production process is complex and the entire process generates a lot of pollution.

Dust is easily generated from the mining, processing and transportation of raw materials.

The combustion of fuel will produce harmful smoke and dust - the frequent flying sand in Chaobai Town is probably related to this.

Then there is the production process.

The production of colored glazes and the use of additives generate a large amount of glaze wastewater during the glazing process, and the heavy metal content exceeds the standard. If it is discharged directly without treatment, it will cause great pollution to the water body.

More than a decade ago, a ceramic factory in Nanzhou discharged wastewater, causing hundreds of villagers in downstream villages to be poisoned by cadmium.

Of course, with the improvement of technology in recent years, the discharge of waste water has been greatly improved.

But waste gas treatment remains a difficult problem.

As a major polluter in Chaobai Town, the ceramic factory is naturally frequently monitored by the town.

In recent years, under the pressure and penalties, the production process and purification equipment have been gradually improved, but there is still a big gap from the national requirements.

Moreover, the previous purification equipment was rapidly aging and needed to be replaced.

Faced with this situation, the factory owner complained bitterly, saying that he earned less than he spent!

This is of course a lie.

According to Chaobai Town’s tax data, these two ceramic factories accounted for the majority.

The town mayor Qin Zhenggang is also worried. If the factory is really shut down due to environmental inspections, the livelihoods of hundreds of workers will be affected first, and Chaobai Town's economic data in the first quarter of next year will definitely fall off a cliff.

Therefore, we must not shut down.

Qin Zhenggang was busy having talks with business owners before the New Year, trying to convince them to make corrections on their own before the inspection team arrived.

All the latest sewage treatment equipment and waste gas treatment equipment should be installed.

Spend this little money.

It’s better than finding out the problems later and being shut down directly by the provincial inspection team.

As for the enterprises, of course they all say yes, yes, yes, yes, and they promise loudly, but they take no action at all.

The factory owner relies on the fact that the factory is the pillar of Chaobai Town's industry, and has never thoroughly rectified any problems discovered over the years.

The town and county were reluctant to shut down the business, so every time it was done in a muddled and unresolved manner.

Two years ago, Chaobai Town was directly reported by the municipal inspection team because of this incident. The county felt that it had lost face and ranked Chaobai Town last in the annual assessment.

Qin Zhenggang's face was swollen from being slapped.

This province-wide inspection is more intense than ever before.

Qin Zhenggang certainly didn't want to see the two pillar enterprises in the town collapse.

That's why he was so anxious and took Lin Xiao and the third party hired by the county to check the two ceramic factories inside and out. As expected, he found a lot of problems.

If there is a problem, it must be corrected, but how to correct it is another troublesome matter.

Two factory owners complained directly: "A set of imported sewage treatment equipment costs more than 30 yuan, and waste gas treatment equipment is even more expensive, costing more than 50 yuan, not to mention the installation fee, electricity fee, and maintenance fee. I only make about a million yuan a year, and I've spent it all in one go. Leaders, you have to think about me!"

Qin Zhenggang was too lazy to listen to their nonsense.

The attitude is very firm: either change it or shut it down!

The companies kept complaining that they couldn't afford to spend so much money to buy purification equipment, and they implicitly hoped that the county and town would help them solve the equipment problem.

The problem has reached a dead end and there is no solution for the time being.

……

It's been a busy week.

Early Saturday morning, Lin Xiao went to Anyang No. 1 Middle School to pick up his younger brother Lin Yu.

In fact, the school had already had its winter vacation, but Anyang No. 1 Middle School, as the best middle school in the county, still enforces study very strictly.

Starting from the second year of high school, students have to stay in school during winter and summer vacations to take extra classes.

Lin Yu is now a sophomore in high school and has only taken one week of make-up classes.

When I was in my third year of high school, I had to make up classes until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and then I had to go back to school on the 7th or 8th of the first lunar month. I was even more miserable than a corporate slave.

When Lin Xiao arrived at school, he thought he could meet Lin Yu directly.

I didn't expect that there would be a parent-teacher meeting before the holiday. The head teacher gave parents comments on the final exam results of all students in the class one by one, and then reminded them not to slack off at home during the winter vacation and to complete their winter vacation homework.

After a while of mumbling, time passed and it was almost ten o'clock.

Han Xixi's plane will arrive in Ninghai at 10:45!

Lin Xiao became anxious and wanted to abandon his brother and leave - his brother was not as important as his wife.

Fortunately, when the clock on the wall pointed to "10", the class teacher finally adjourned the meeting.

Lin Xiao hurried to his brother's dormitory, picked up bedding and luggage, loaded them up and headed straight for the highway.

Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat, looking at the increasingly wide scenery in front of him, and became puzzled.

"Brother...is this the way home?"

The boy looked confused and his tone was as timid as usual.

"I have to go to Ninghai!" Lin Xiao said, worrying about what would happen when his brother and Han Xixi met there.

The situation just now was urgent and there was really no other way.

Lin Yu looked calm.

"Oh, if I had known I wouldn't have gotten on the bus," said the boy.

"Then you have so much luggage, you can't carry it!"

"Put your luggage in the car, I can go home by myself!"

"???"

Lin Xiao’s eyes widened.

He didn't even think of such a simple method.

I can't help but sigh that young people are more intelligent. I am so stupid at work!
Now that the car was on the expressway, I couldn't leave my brother behind, so I had to take him to the airport.

The car sped along.

"Xiaoyu, you did really well in the final exam. You even ranked in the top 20 in the class!"

"Hmm...so-so!"

Lin Yu said truthfully.

He was in an ordinary class at school, and even with his grades in the top 20, it was difficult for him to get into an undergraduate program.

His elder brother Lin Xiao was always in key classes when he was studying, and he was never out of the top 985 in the grade. He also performed steadily in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Ninghai University, the only university in the province.

The boy didn't understand. Given his brother's grades, he should have looked down on him, so why was he praising him?

“Progress is worth encouraging!”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I see that most of your classmates have mobile phones. I will buy you one when we go to Ninghai this time. Do you want one?"

Lin Yu tilted his head and looked at his elder brother cautiously.

Something is wrong, something is wrong with this man!
He didn't dare to agree!
"Do you want it?!" Lin Xiao's voice became louder.

"……want!"

In the end, I couldn't resist the temptation of the phone.

Lin Yu thought, Brother, you can't sell me out, right? !
……

After speeding all the way, the car finally arrived at the airport at 10:50.

Lin Xiao called Han Xixi. She had already got off the plane. She would only stay for one day, so she did not check in her luggage.

The people have come out.

Lin Xiao didn't leave the garage, but parked the car directly in front of the domestic arrival hall and told Han Xixi the location.

After hanging up the phone, he met Lin Yu's inquiring eyes.

"Brother, are we here to pick someone up?" he asked.

"Uh...right!"

"Your girlfriend?"

"Um?!"

Lin Xiao was surprised. He never expected that his introverted and honest brother could guess so accurately.

"Boy, are you falling in love too early at school?" he asked with narrowed eyes.

"no!"

Lin Yu spoke calmly.

This posture made Lin Xiao feel like the younger brother and he was the older brother.

"The way you were talking on the phone just now...it didn't look like you were talking to a man!" Lin Yu said.

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless.

Lin Yu didn't react much. His brother is already 27 years old. It is normal for him to fall in love. It is abnormal not to fall in love.

But what he didn't understand was that his brother already had a girlfriend, so why didn't he tell his parents, and avoid being urged to go on blind dates every day!

I didn't ask at the time.

He is actually not very interested in adult matters.

Two people were sitting in the car.

Not long after, a tall woman came out of the automatic sensor door. She was wearing a camel coat, sunglasses and a mask. Although most of her face was covered, the small exposed part still showed that her skin was glowing white, which made people notice her at a glance.

Next to the woman was a young girl who was dressed more casually.

Lin Yu took a look and didn't take it seriously.

Then he watched the woman walk towards him, looked at the license plate, and then opened the passenger door.

Lin Yu and her looked into each other's eyes.

To be precise, his eyes met the girl's sunglasses and they were both surprised.

"Xiao Yu, you...you go sit in the back!" Lin Xiao said hurriedly.

Lin Yu reacted quickly and unbuckled his seat belt and got off.

Han Xixi sat down, looking nervous.

"My brother is Lin Yu, you can just call him Xiao Yu."

Then he said to Lin Yu in the back seat, "This is... your sister-in-law!"

Han Xixi was hesitating whether to take off his sunglasses, but when he heard the word "sister-in-law", his whole body shook as if he had been electrocuted.

His lips pursed and his ears immediately turned red.
