Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 124 123. Han Xixi and Lin Haha (asking for monthly ticket)
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, we officially started work.

The holiday syndrome enveloped the entire town compound, and Lin Xiao was also in a daze and completely out of shape.

I held meetings at the county and the town, and the day passed in a daze.

The next morning.

Qin Zhenggang and Lin Xiao, together with law enforcement officers from the county industrial and commercial bureau and environmental bureau, went straight to the two ceramic factories.

The first factory was called Yongfeng.

Boss Li Yongqiang and Qin Zhenggang are old acquaintances. When he saw him leading a team over, he immediately trotted to the factory gate to greet them.

A smiling face full of warmth.

"Qin Zhen, the Lantern Festival hasn't even passed yet, and you've already brought the team down for inspection. You're really diligent in serving the people and you deserve the title of a parent official!" Li Yongqiang flattered him skillfully.

Qin Zhenggang had ignored him before, and he ignored him even more today.

Pushing away Li Yongqiang's hand offering a cigarette, he said coldly, "Boss Li, I issued a notice of rectification within a time limit to your Yongfeng before the New Year. How is the rectification going now?"

Li Yongqiang said hurriedly: "We are rectifying it, we are already rectifying it... But Qin Zhen, your request was made suddenly before the New Year. We contacted several brands that can sell purification equipment, but they all closed down and prepared for the New Year. So we haven't bought it yet! But don't worry, we will make the rectification in place after the Lantern Festival at the latest..."

Li Yongqiang glanced at the uniformed law enforcement officers behind him and felt that he must not embarrass Mayor Qin in such an occasion.

The answer was fluent and easy.

Lin Xiao was standing nearby, but he knew that this guy was not telling the truth at all - he had no intention of making changes at all, and now he was just playing tricks!
Qin Zhenggang naturally understood it better and his face became even darker.

"Lantern Festival?!"

He raised his voice and said coldly, "It's already mid-February, the provincial inspection team has already come, and by the time you make the rectification, the opportunity will be gone! I'm asking you, can the equipment be in place within three days?"

Li Yongqiang was a little overwhelmed and thought that Qin Zhen had never spoken so harshly before!

"Qin Zhen, three days is not enough... It will take time to transport the equipment..."

"No way, right? There's nothing we can do about it!"

After Qin Zhenggang finished speaking, he gave the law enforcement officers a look.

The man understood and without saying a word, he took out a notice of suspension of business and rectification from his briefcase, with double-sided tape on the back.

Without showing it to Li Yongqiang, he simply tore off the adhesive backing and stuck it on the factory entrance.

"Ah, ah, Qin Zhen, how can you say that..."

Li Yongqiang panicked and rushed over to pick it up, "Don't stick it on, don't stick it on, we'll change it right away, we'll change it right away..."

Qin Zhenggang shook his sleeves and said, "If you want to change it, change it well. It will be more convenient to change it behind closed doors. When the equipment arrives and the rectification is completed, we will come back to check it. If there is no problem, we will let you resume work!"

After he finished speaking, he did not give Li Yongqiang any chance to continue to defend himself.

The workers were simply sent off work, the machines were turned off, the gates were closed, and the seals prepared in advance were cross-pasted. The factory that was still steaming just now immediately ceased to operate.

The workers were also dumbfounded. They stood outside the factory, watching all this in a daze and talking about it.

Li Yongqiang was even more dumbfounded, but his eyes were still filled with anger.

Qin Zhenggang didn't have time to argue with him, and led the large inspection team to the next factory.

The second ceramic factory is called Dongyuan. It has a larger factory area than Yongfeng and more workers. Its annual performance and tax revenue are also better than Yongfeng.

The boss of Dongyuan is Zhang Honglei.

Before the inspection team arrived, Zhang Honglei was already waiting at the factory gate with a kind smile on his face.

When he saw Qin Zhenggang, Zhang Honglei immediately came over to shake his hand, and then he began to reflect: "Qin Town, our wastewater and waste gas purification equipment is on the way and will arrive in the next three to five days. Don't worry, I firmly support the town's environmental protection work. I will definitely make rectifications in the next few days and will not lag behind our Anyang County!"

This sincere self-examination made Qin Zhenggang look a little hesitant, and he couldn't muster the decisiveness he had just shown in Yongfeng.

Lin Xiao understood.

It is clear that Dongyuan has dealings with Yongfeng. They are in the same industry and should compete with each other and keep each other informed.

That's understandable.

However, the town has been raising environmental protection requirements for these two factories for a long time, and the requirement for rectification did not start with the official document issued before the New Year, but has been repeatedly emphasized in many large and small inspections in recent years.

However, Dongyuan and Yongfeng have been slow to make rectifications.

Either they use outdated equipment to deal with inspections, or they shut down the kiln in advance before each inspection.

In short, I can get away with it every time.

Now, Zhang Honglei looks like he has reformed himself.

But as soon as the inspection team left, he was afraid that he would have to continue production, and he would have to deal with it again next time.

As for really spending a lot of money to buy equipment to control pollution?

Lin Xiao didn't believe that he had this awareness, otherwise he would have changed it long ago!
Seeing Qin Zhenggang's hesitation, he stepped forward and said, "Since Mr. Zhang is determined, let's wait and see. Put the seal on first. It won't affect the factory's earnings for three to five days. When the equipment arrives, we'll install it and continue working at full capacity. Let the workers go home and spend the New Year's holiday in the next few days. I don't think anyone will have any objections!"

There is nothing wrong with what Lin Xiao said.

The state stipulates that people should go back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but in the minds of rural people, everything before the Lantern Festival is the New Year.

It doesn’t make sense to start work now!
However, the factory needs to make money and the workers need income, so naturally you have to start work when the factory says so. If you don't want to work, there are plenty of people who will.

That is why the workers had to forcibly change the folk customs that had been in place for decades.

It’s time to work overtime and earn money!
Lin Xiao's words immediately froze Zhang Honglei's smile on his face. There was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes as he looked the young deputy mayor up and down.

"Qin Zhen, we have been in the town for six or seven years and have contributed tens of millions of taxes to our town!"

Zhang Honglei still had a friendly smile, but his tone was already threatening. "If we agree to change, then we will change. If you don't trust me, how can you not trust the county leaders? The county leaders led a team to Guangzhou and Foshan to attract investment. We thought they were very sincere, so we brought tens of millions of funds here. It doesn't mean that there is no other place to choose except Chaobai Town... We can't just abandon the donkey after it has done its job, right?"

Qin Zhenggang had come to his senses by now.

He is a straightforward person and doesn't know how to flatter others, otherwise he would have been promoted long ago.

Now that he heard Zhang Honglei using the county leaders to put pressure on him, he became angry even though he had no temper.

He said coldly, "Mr. Zhang, this is not a case of killing the donkey after it has done its work. We are all working for the country's environmental protection cause, and no one can go against the national policy. You said you want to make rectifications, and we believe you, but before the rectification is completed, the waste gas and wastewater should not be discharged.

"So, the factory should be closed down if necessary, and the production line should be stopped if necessary! When you have completed the rectification, call the town and we will come to inspect it as soon as possible. We will never delay the company's profit-making!"

After saying this, he didn't give Zhang Honglei any chance to speak again and directly signaled the law enforcement officers to seal it.

Then the process just now in Yongfeng was repeated.

In no time, all the workers were asked to leave, the factory gate was closed and sealed tightly.

Zhang Honglei was watching at the door, gritting his teeth in anger.

But there is nothing to do.

……

For the next two days, Qin Zhenggang's phone was on the verge of being blown up.

Li Yongqiang and Zhang Honglei wanted to invite him to dinner and pleaded with him privately.

Various departments in the county and even the county leaders called, seemingly just to understand the situation, but in fact they were interceding for the two factories.

Of course, this is a public and private matter.

As for Yu Gong, the two ceramic factories are not only major taxpayers in Chaobai Town, but also major taxpayers in Anyang County.

If a business is closed for a week or even longer, its profitability will be greatly reduced and the amount of tax paid will naturally also be sharply reduced.

It is already early February.

It seems that the New Year has just passed and the new year has just begun, but in fact, according to the Gregorian calendar, the first quarter is already halfway through. The three words "a good start" are pressing from the province to the city, and from the city to the county, layer by layer, making it hard to breathe.

The economic data for the first quarter provides the basis for the economic development of the whole year, and a good start must be ensured.

Under such high pressure, any unexpected incident that may affect a good start is a major event that deserves to be taken seriously.

It is true that the bottom line of environmental protection cannot be touched.

But since Yongfeng and Dongyuan have promised to rectify the situation, there is no need to just close it down. They can just let them work on it first and rush out the backlog of orders during the New Year holiday, and then install the purification equipment before the provincial environmental inspection team arrives.

The best of both worlds, without any delays!

This is Yu Gong.

As for the private side, there are many tricks involved. Qin Zhenggang doesn't want to guess, and is too lazy to guess.

In the end, whether it is public or private.

Since he has become the bad guy now, he might as well stay as the bad guy until the end and grit his teeth to make sure the company makes all the necessary rectifications before he is willing to lift the ban.

Eventually the whole county knew about this matter.

Other towns had not yet realized the intensity of this environmental inspection, but after hearing the news from Chaobai Town, they all became nervous.

A county-wide environmental inspection quickly kicked off throughout Anyang County.

At this time, in addition to handling his daily work, Lin Xiao was concentrating on writing the "Request for the establishment of additional highway entrances and exits in Chaobai Town."

He did not like red tape.

But under this system, if you want to get something done, you have to put in some hard work on paper.

When you are at the grassroots level, you don't have the opportunity to report your work to county leaders every day. When you go to the county, there is a high probability that you will not see the leaders in the office.

So write a report and submit it.

There is always a chance that the leader can see it, and it is more formal and has more attitude.

Of course Lin Xiao also knew that applying for additional highway entrances and exits was not a trivial matter.

It involves the planning adjustment of highway sections, site selection, land acquisition, construction, and the construction of highway connecting lines... The capital investment involved in a small highway intersection may be tens of millions.

It is not easy to explain the necessity of such a large-scale project in just a few pages.

Lin Xiao was very nervous, even more nervous than the last time he wrote the Xuefu Yaju project analysis report.

But we can't rush it.

I wrote reports during the day and communicated remotely with Han Xixi at night to continue modifying and adjusting the music score and lyrics of the song "The Magic of Love".

It turns out.

No matter how much you love something, once it becomes a job, it becomes boring immediately.

At the beginning, Han Xixi felt shy and had a lot of imagination because of the ambiguity revealed in the lyrics.

But when the lyrics are adjusted to the fourth version.

There was no light in her eyes at all!

In the video chat with Lin Xiao, we were discussing the rationality of the lyrics and the suitability of the music in a completely mechanical and rational way.

There was no spark between the two of them, not even the flame was almost gone.

Finally, on the third night, the song could no longer be changed, and the tune could no longer be adjusted. At this point, the entire song had been completely transformed compared to Han Xixi's initial opening and half of the lyrics.

Han Xixi frowned as he looked at the music score.

"What's wrong? Are you still not satisfied?" Lin Xiao asked with a trembling voice on the other end of the video.

If the aunt is still not satisfied, he will have no choice.

The little memory in my brain has been drained away, not a drop left.

Fortunately, Han Xixi shook his head.

“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, but I’m doubtful… Is this song really my work?”

"Of course! You wrote the beginning of the song, and you also wrote the first version of the lyrics. How can it not be your work?"

"But all the ideas for the subsequent adjustments were basically provided by you, right?"

"Then... let's cooperate!" Lin Xiao made the decision.

Han Xixi did not dare to take credit for it.

I feel that even if I say so, I am still taking great advantage of it.

She knew that without Lin Xiao's help, she would never be able to complete the song, and she would have given up long ago.

Now, my understanding of Lin Xiao has undergone another drastic change.

"I didn't expect that you could write songs..." Han Xixi said with a complicated tone.

"Hey, it's always good to have many skills. I should learn poetry, songs and prose!"

"puff!"

Han Xixi laughed out loud, but didn't think much about it. Instead, he decided, "Then let's say we co-wrote this song, and both of us will be credited as the composer, okay?"

"no problem!"

"What's your stage name?" Han Xixi suddenly asked.

"Stage name?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

"Yes, didn't you always say that you would not reveal your identity?"

"Uh..." Lin Xiao was a little surprised, "He's just a composer, so it's not public, right?"

"But you can guess it with just one guess!"

Han Xixi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "This is a sweet little song. I wrote it with a boy. Any normal person would guess that this person is mine... Then wouldn't you be exposed?"

Lin Xiao was stunned and really didn’t think so much about it.

Because he and Xixi completed this song together, there was no need to use Ma Yao's identity, so he did not have such a heavy psychological burden.

Now she reminded me.

Only then did I realize that my profession should really stay further away from the media.

This was the consideration when the marriage was officially announced without revealing faces or names.

Now that the policy has not changed, it is natural that we must continue to implement it.

It’s just… he’s getting a bit annoyed by having one alias after another!

Lin Xiao has already decided to find a formal opportunity to confess to Xixi that he is Ma Yao!

Now that she hasn't finalized the endorsement yet, it's better not to affect her mood and talk to her face to face.

"Then let's call me... Lin Haha!" He thought for a moment and said.

"what?"

Han Xixi looked surprised.

Lin Xiao laughed: "You are hehe, and I am haha, we are a perfect match!"

"..."

Han Xixi was speechless, and finally could only say: "You...as long as you are happy!"

……

the next day.

Han Xixi and her agent Zhou Hui came to the recording studio together.

It’s less than a week until Valentine’s Day on February 2th.

The news Zhou Hui received was that the Kalia Group had rejected the song "Nuan Nuan" as its advertising song, and had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the popular film and television star Yu Anan.

This development was entirely expected.

Although "Nuan Nuan" is popular, the label of Han Xixi is too strong. When netizens hear the story, they naturally associate it with her love affair, and it is difficult to label it as part of the Kalia magic series.

The advertising effect will never be as high as imagined.

As for contacting young actresses in film and television, it is also normal.

After all, young actresses have a larger and more stable fan base than singers, making them more suitable for magic series jewelry to occupy the market.

As for singing, it’s not a problem at all.

It's just a sweet song for an advertisement. It's not like going on "Singer" to test your singing skills, so the requirements are not that high.

Just have a mouth and a sweet song!
As for whether the person singing is a singer or an actor, there is really not much difference!
So at this point, Han Xixi has actually withdrawn from the competition.

Although Zhou Hui is still making a final effort, at this point, she can only do her best and leave the rest to fate!
However, Zhou Hui was still very shocked to hear that her own artist had written a song.

What’s even more shocking is that this song was written by Han Xixi and Lin Xiao together.

She could hardly close her mouth.

"Who? Lin Xiao? The contract husband, the grassroots civil servant? He... can write songs?"

Zhou Hui felt as if her worldview was collapsing, and she had a sense of chaos similar to how Tang Monk beat up Iron Man in the Grand View Garden.

She didn't understand the song and was completely confused when she got the music score.

But after taking a quick look at the lyrics, I find them very interesting, and the little girl's emotions are vividly expressed on the page.

I had already given up hope on this cooperation.

But looking at the score, I suddenly felt that it could still be salvaged.

The music score was sent to Shao Yun, director of the company's music department, overnight.

However, the person I saw in the recording studio today was the newly appointed deputy director Cao Yuanzhi.

"Director Cao, I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!" Zhou Hui had an enthusiastic look on her face. She held Cao Yuanzhi's hand tightly and refused to let go. She smiled so hard that syrup could be seen in her eyes.

Cao Yuanzhi had to exert great effort to pull his hand out.

"Sister Hui, I've heard a lot about you!"

"We have heard of you for a long time... Now that we are family, can we ask Teacher Ma Yao to come out for a meeting?"

"..."

Cao Yuanzhi gave a perfunctory smile and knew that this was what Zhou Hui was planning.

He immediately said with a fake smile: "Sister Hui, do you know why Teacher Ma Yao refused to show up?"

"Why?" Zhou Hui was curious.

"I'm just afraid that some people will push their luck and ask for more. They write one or two songs, but they want three or four more, and it's endless!"

"..."

Zhou Hui's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a dead fly.

He laughed dryly and said, "Director Cao, let's record the song!"

Cao Yuanzhi was satisfied.

He turned his gaze back to the music score, then looked at Han Xixi.

"Xixi, this Lin Haha...is he your husband?" he asked.

"……Um!"

Although Han Xixi was embarrassed, he still nodded in acknowledgement.

Cao Yuanzhi asked again: "This is a pseudonym, right? No one is really called 'Haha', right?"

Han Xixi nodded again.

This means admitting that Haha is fake and the surname Lin is real.

Cao Yuanzhi's eyes flashed and he understood immediately.

His surname is Lin, Han Xixi’s husband!

In a previous interview, he revealed that they met through a blind date introduced by their parents, which means he should work in Ninghai.

And the song is so well written!

It is impossible to write it without some musical foundation, and the possibility of being a complete outsider is zero!
Then Han Xixi also has a big boss who writes songs specifically for her. His name is Ma Yao to the outside world, but his real name is Lin Xiao!
Ugh?
What a coincidence, his surname is also Lin!

If Cao Yuanzhi had any intelligence, it would be difficult for him not to associate this Lin Haha with Lin Xiao, piecing together the two into one person.

Then it worked all of a sudden!

Before, he never understood why Lin Xiao would not take the money from all over the music industry and only write songs for Han Xixi, a newcomer.

Saying that you appreciate her talent doesn't sound credible.

But if you say that he was attracted by her beauty, that would be much more logical.

Cao Yuanzhi understood instantly and shook his head in silence.

He opened his mouth and asked: Is Lin Haha Lin Xiao?

But before he finished his words, he suddenly realized that if Han Xixi knew that Lin Xiao was Ma Yao, then the signature here should also be Ma Yao, not a new name called Lin Haha!
So... she might really not know that Lin Xiao is Ma Yao!

Then Cao Yuanzhi frowned again, looking doubtful about his life!
"These two really know how to have fun!"

"Blind date! Flash marriage! Hiding your identity... and I found out!"

"So... am I also a part of your play?!"
