Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 130 129. Deputy Mayor Lin’s Green Light

Dinner was ready and served on the table, but Han Xixi was still staying in her room and didn't come out.

Lin Xiao called her to eat.

After a while, the little girl came out feeling aggrieved.

"I only have 14 photos at home... For the remaining 86, I will ask Sister Hui for them next time, sign them and send them to you!" Han Xixi said apologetically.

"Don't worry, let's eat first!"

Lin Xiao said, pushing the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink this, it's good for your health!"

Han Xixi's eyes lit up.

I prepared dinner myself, but this was not included, and I didn't notice if Lin Xiao had anything in his hands when he came in.

Now, this thing appeared on the table out of thin air.

It was obvious that Lin Xiao bought it specially from outside.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little warm in her heart. She wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and lowered her head to drink the soup bit by bit.

The warm and rich chicken soup goes in my stomach, and the last bit of pain during my menstrual period is relieved.

Lin Xiao didn't talk to her on purpose, and the two of them finished the dinner in peace.

Finished washing the dishes.

Lin Xiao asked Xixi for an autographed photo and checked her homework in person.

"This handwriting...Didn't your agent ask you to practice signing?" He frowned and asked, looking at the beautiful and neat handwriting.

Of course, the writing is very good, and you can tell at a glance that the writer has been practicing calligraphy since childhood.

But obviously, this kind of calligraphy cannot be used as an artist’s signature - it should be like a scribble, so that people can’t even tell what is being signed, that is a good signature!

"Give it up... I was lazy and haven't practiced well!" Han Xixi whispered.

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Now I understand why there are no autographed photos of her circulating in the market yet.

He didn't take it seriously at the moment and handed her a photo: "Write a few more words on this one, and write 'To Meng Xintong: You are the most beautiful girl in the world, and you have the greatest father in the world. I wish you happiness every day and a brilliant life.'"

Han Xixi's brows furrowed deeper as he listened to him blurt out this string of words.

But in the end, he still patiently wrote it down stroke by stroke, and after completing it, he handed it to Lin Xiao. After he checked that there was no problem, he put on his clothes and went out.

"Ugh……"

Han Xixi called him.

"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Xiao stopped.

"Who is this Meng Xintong?"

"No one, just a friend, I'm going out for a while!"

After saying that, he walked out the door.

It was too late for Han Xixi to call him again, and she clenched her fists in anger.

I thought angrily: She is the most beautiful girl in the world? And I wish her happiness every day? I am not happy now... No, why should I be so obedient and send blessings to other girls on his behalf? !

Han Xixi realized what was happening belatedly and became even angrier.

Finally, I grabbed the pillow on the sofa and punched it, and I felt much better.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Xiao came back from outside whistling, holding a small box in his hand.

Han Xixi was sitting on the windowsill at this time, covered with a blanket, basking in the sunshine, reading a book very seriously.

Yes, the one from this morning.

Even the page numbers haven't changed.

"Didn't you take a nap?" Lin Xiao greeted as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Han Xixi didn't even turn his head and continued reading as if he didn't hear anything.

Lin Xiao didn't want to make trouble for himself.

I opened the box and found a casserole inside. I also bought some ribs and seasonings.

There was a lot of clatter and noise in the kitchen.

Han Xixi frowned as he listened outside, curious about what he was doing but unable to help but look.

More than half an hour later, Lin Xiao came out and went to the toilet.

Han Xixi heard the gurgling sounds from the kitchen and quickly sneaked in. She lifted the lid of the casserole and found that pork ribs were stewing on a low fire, with chopped corn and washed red dates on the side.

Only then did she understand, pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

But when she thought of the name "Meng Xintong", she couldn't help feeling jealous, so she quickly closed the lid and went out.

……

The other side of Haicheng.

Meng Zhaodong finished an afternoon's work and returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, his fourteen-year-old daughter Meng Xintong ran over screaming and threw herself into his arms.

Meng Zhaodong was stunned.

Over the years, I have spent far more time at work than with my children. Sometimes when I think back, I can vividly remember how the company grew bit by bit, but I can't remember at all how my children grew into teenagers.

He couldn't remember the last time he hugged his daughter, but recently the father and daughter had been arguing quite often.

Meng Xintong's sudden intimacy caught him off guard, and then he smiled with wrinkles on his face as he held his daughter.

"Dad, you are awesome. You just asked for Han Xixi's autographed photos yesterday, and you sent them today. And there are 14 of them, and one of them is an exclusive autograph. Do you know what an exclusive autograph is? An exclusive autograph!!!"

Meng Xintong was so happy that she was incoherent, and the smile on her face was brighter than the spring sunshine.

Meng Zhaodong felt soft-hearted after seeing this.

"Dad doesn't know that. Tell him about it!"

"That's it, come here, come here!"

Meng Xintong held her father's hand and went upstairs to her bedroom. She found a photo from the scattered photos on the princess bed and handed the back of the photo to her father like offering a treasure. "Look, this is an exclusive autograph, signed just for me!!"

Meng Zhaodong glanced at the words above, then looked at the photos on the bed, and his eyes lit up.

He remembered that the young man only agreed to three autographed photos, and he didn't feel comfortable asking for more.

But now, in just half a day, the young man got fourteen in one go, and he also made an exclusive signature with special care, and the words written on it were particularly heartwarming and to the point.

Even if Meng Zhaodong regarded this as a trivial matter, he had to look at the young man differently.

I couldn't help wondering: What is the origin of this guy? !

He didn't think much about it at the moment and just enjoyed this rare parent-child time with his daughter. The father and daughter were very close.

Had dinner.

Meng Zhaodong called Cao Yuanzhi to express his gratitude.

Cao Yuanzhi said, "Brother, I don't have that much ability. It was your junior brother who helped me!"

Meng Zhaodong smiled and asked, "Yuan Zhi, you said that you, an insider, couldn't get the autographed photo of that little star. Lin Xiao wasn't in Haicheng. How did you do it, and it was done so quickly?"

Cao Yuanzhi laughed dryly: "Brother, this is his ability, I won't say more!"

Meng Zhaodong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

There are many talented people in this world, and he has long understood the life creed of not judging people by their appearance.

"I only gave Lin Xiao a business card this morning, but didn't save his phone number. Yuan Zhi, please give me his phone number. I have to express my gratitude to my junior!" Meng Zhaodong took the initiative to say.

"No need, bro!"

Cao Yuanzhi said, "My junior fellow student said that this is just a trivial matter, so you don't have to take it to heart!"

This answer surprised Meng Zhaodong a little.

hang up the phone.

He pondered for a long time and smiled: Interesting, our Nanzhou is really full of talented people!
……

Dawn Apartment.

Because of the "to Meng Xintong" incident, the atmosphere between Lin Xiao and Han Xixi became even more awkward. One was curious but didn't ask, while the other wanted to provoke but deliberately didn't say anything, as if they were trying to see who could outlast the other.

After dinner.

Lin Xiao received a call from Cao Yuanzhi and conveyed Meng Zhaodong's gratitude and appreciation.

Lin Xiao was not surprised.

"But junior, you went through so much trouble to get in touch with Meng Zhaodong, why don't you take the opportunity to contact him again? Do you think that the Benda Group is too big a brand and they won't build a factory in your rural area?" Cao Yuanzhi asked puzzled.

"Well... there really isn't much hope!"

Lin Xiao said seriously, "But that's not necessarily the case. After all, he is a big shot in the new energy industry and he will be useful in the future. I don't contact him now because I want to save the favor he owes me for later. If I let him say his gratitude now, it would seem like I am greedy if I contact him again in the future!"

Cao Yuanzhi is also a smart man and he understands things quickly.

"You kid...why didn't I see you were so smart when you were in college?"

"When I was in college, you, my senior, protected me. My cleverness is useless now!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Although he knew that Lin Xiao was just joking, he was still overjoyed.

Suddenly I thought of a word that has been popular recently, called "emotional value".

Previously, this word was called "flattery", but now it seems that "emotional value" is more appropriate.

After all, Lin Xiao doesn't need to flatter him, but a casual word can make him feel good.

This is the ability of a good speaker!

Cao Yuanzhi felt a little emotional. Recently, he felt that this junior fellow had changed a lot compared to his impression of him.

More and more... like a living person!

Lin Xiao didn't know how highly Cao Yuanzhi thought of him.

After hanging up the phone, he found Han Xixi washing dishes in the kitchen, and hurriedly pulled her out.

"You are in a special period now, don't you know how to be careful? Go back to your room and lie down!" he ordered.

"……Oh!"

Han Xixi didn't even refute and just went there obediently.

Lying down on the bed, listening to the sound of water flowing in the kitchen, I felt more at ease than ever before.

For dinner today, she drank two large bowls of pork rib soup, not wasting Lin Xiao's kindness at all.

Now my hands and feet are warm, my whole body feels comfortable, and my heart is warm.

At this moment, the little awkwardness in my heart has long disappeared.

As for the girl named "Meng Xintong", she guessed that she should be her fan. Although she didn't know how she got Lin Xiao's autograph, she definitely had nothing to do with him.

The jealousy had completely evaporated. Now he just wanted to make peace with Lin Xiao, but he didn't know how to start.

In the end, I didn't dare to leave the room.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Xiao continued to write a request for adding more highway entrances and exits in the living room, and he kept typing until 11 o'clock in the evening.

In the middle, Han Xixi came out to use the toilet, and then there was no movement.

He didn't pay attention either.

I wrote until I felt dizzy, and finally there was nothing left to change, so I saved the file and turned off the computer.

That day, I cooked, washed dishes, wrote articles, and went out twice in between. I was really exhausted.

He didn't even have time to wash up. He just fell asleep on the sofa and even started snoring.

Han Xixi didn't sleep in the room.

Only after hearing the frequent snoring outside did she dare to come out quietly and took a thin quilt to cover him.

Looking at the wound on his forehead, she was thoughtful.

He went back to the room and lay down until 12 o'clock. He estimated that Lin Xiao had fallen into a deep sleep, then he tiptoed out, took gauze and medicine to re-bandage him.

She held her breath the whole time, and her movements were so light that it seemed as if she was carving.

Lin Xiao didn't wake up at all.

When the new gauze was glued on, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt even more tired than attending Kalia's new product launch!

Get up and go back to your room to rest.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back, knelt beside the sofa, and boldly admired this face.

Spent four months in the countryside.

Lin Xiao's skin seemed to be darker than before the Chinese New Year, and his face seemed to be thinner.

But he looks tougher, more handsome... and very manly!

As soon as these three words appeared in Han Xixi's mind, his heartbeat immediately accelerated, and he pursed his lips for a long time to calm down.

"So... this is what Ma Yao looks like..."

She thought in surprise.

In my mind, the image of Teacher Ma Yao gradually became blurred and slowly overlapped with the face in front of me.

Han Xixi's heart was beating so hard that it felt like a deer was about to burst out of his chest.

In order to prevent sudden death, she quickly got up and went back to her room, tiptoeing as quietly as a kitten.

The bedroom door closed softly.

In the living room, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a triumphant smile in the dim light.

He is a light sleeper and will wake up at the slightest noise no matter how tired he is.

Although Xixi was as careful as possible, the smell of iodine was really unpleasant.

He woke up a long time ago!
Then, I enjoyed my wife's kneeling personal service with peace of mind.

Lin Xiao: I cooked for her, made soup for her, and served as a human hot water bottle... Now I deserve this!
……

the next morning.

After breakfast, Lin Xiao packed up and prepared to go to the airport.

As spring approaches, the weather in Nanzhou Province becomes unpredictable and it rains almost every day.

Lin Xiao was afraid that the plane would be delayed, so he bought a ticket for the morning and had to leave early in the morning!

When Han Xixi learned about this situation, he felt a little depressed, but he tried his best to suppress it.

Send Lin Xiao to the door.

Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned around and stretched out his arms towards Han Xixi.

"give me a hug?"

"..."

Han Xixi pursed her lips, feeling shy and embarrassed, and shook her head.

Lin Xiao took a step forward and smiled scoundrelly: "Really not going to hug you? If you give up this opportunity, you don't know when you will hug me next time!"

Han Xixi looked at him angrily.

"Who wants to hug you..."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Xiao pulled her into his arms without any explanation.

The two of them were pressed tightly together, and even through the clothes they could feel their body temperatures being rapidly exchanged and transmitted, and the electric current flowing through their bodies.

The sudden masculine scent made Han Xixi's mind go blank.

The surprises, shocks, embarrassment, jealousy and entanglement of the past two days disappeared in an instant.

She grabbed the hem of Lin Xiao's coat with both hands and rubbed her head against his shoulders and neck, like a lone deer seeking warmth.

Lin Xiao understood, and his palm slid down her back into her hair, rubbing it gently.

After a long time, the two let go.

"I'm leaving..." As he was about to leave, he felt a little reluctant.

Han Xixi nodded, looking sad.

“I’ll come again next week!”

"Um?!"

Han Xixi widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

But when she saw Lin Xiao's determined smile, her reluctance quickly evaporated and she revealed a bright smile like the sun.

"Um!!"

She nodded.

Lin Xiao was finally relieved. He reached out and pinched her little face before leaving.

The door is closed.

Han Xixi stroked his chest, feeling the body temperature still lingering on his body, and laughed foolishly to himself.

……

Just as Lin Xiao expected.

As expected, his flight was delayed again and again and did not take off until after 3 p.m.

It was already five o'clock when we arrived in Ninghai.

It was raining in Ninghai. The air was cold and damp, and Lin Xiao was shivering with cold.

Fortunately, sitting in the car all the way with the heater on was not that unbearable, and I got home safely around six in the evening.

The next day at work.

He went to Qin Zhenggang's office, printed out his finalized request, and presented it to him.

Qin Zhenggang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the title in the center of the Founder Small Standard Song Simplified No. 2 font, and his face suddenly became serious.

"You really wrote it?" He looked incredulous.

The last time was during the Spring Festival, when the two met at work.

When Lin Xiao arrived at his office, they started chatting casually, and then he talked about a series of grand ideas, such as adding more highway entrances and exits, and creating a distinctive tourism brand for Chaobai Town. Qin Zhenggang was stunned by what he heard.

I didn't give a positive response at that time.

Later at work, Lin Xiao never mentioned this matter again, so he thought he had forgotten it too.

Unexpectedly, the young man not only did not forget, but also kept his word and wrote out the request so efficiently.

Qin Zhenggang flipped through it.

I found that the content of the request was very detailed. From the economic status and industrial structure of Chaobai Town to the accident rate and mortality rate of the national highway section in the past ten years, it analyzed them in detail and explained with reason and evidence the necessity of height and weight restrictions on the national highway and adding highway entrances and exits!
The more Qin Zhenggang looked at him, the more serious his expression became. He actually felt as if things were suddenly clear.

When he saw the last few words "Please approve whether it is appropriate", he felt a slight sweat on his back. Even in this cold spring weather, he actually felt his blood boiling.

But soon, he calmed down again.

"Adding highway entrances and exits is a big deal. It will cost tens of millions of dollars. It also involves many departments and many procedures... How about I talk to the county leaders first and hear their attitude?" Qin Zhenggang said.

"Of course this is the best!"

Lin Xiao nodded, then changed the subject and said, "But time is tight right now. If we don't speed up the process, it may not be approved until the second half of the year, and it will be the next year before we can complete the formalities. Of course, it's great to be approved, but what about this year? Our town's economic data is still not improving. When you report to the county, you will still be looked down upon!"

These words made Qin Zhenggang's face turn red.

After thinking about it, I felt that Lin Xiao was right. Asking for instructions when necessary was a normal procedure and did not violate principles or rules.

Of course it would be best if the leader approves it!
Even if it is not approved, you can still get feedback immediately and then find a solution.

It's much faster than thinking about infiltration repeatedly in private beforehand!

Qin Zhenggang immediately made up his mind. He wrote "Please review this document" under "Please approve whether it is appropriate", signed his name, and asked the office to stamp and scan it immediately, and then submitted the scanned copy and the electronic version to the county.

In the afternoon, this request appeared on the desk of County Mayor Liu Wang.

Of course, this efficiency is not normal.

The speed of the process was possible thanks to Jia Kai, the county magistrate's secretary, who opened a green channel for the old classmate.

According to normal procedures, requests and reports submitted to the county magistrate must be reviewed by the office in advance. Minor issues will be revised slightly, and major issues will be revised significantly. If it is not a special emergency, it will take an average of three days for them to appear in front of the county magistrate.

But Lin Xiao's level is no less than that of the writers in the county office.

That's why Jia Kai could place the request on the county magistrate's desk with confidence.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, County Mayor Liu Wang saw the document.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but his eyes became sharper as time went on. He pushed his glasses up to his forehead and squinted to finish reading the 12-page request.

Then he called Jia Kai to the office.

"Do you know who drafted this request?" he asked, his expression showing no emotion.

However, based on Jia Kai's understanding of County Magistrate Liu, he quickly made a judgment and answered truthfully:

"Lin Xiao, the deputy mayor selected under the Qingmiao plan last year!"

"Oh, I have an impression..."

Liu Wang remembered something and narrowed his eyes and asked, "I remember that when I reported in, Minister Deqing personally sent me here, right?"

"Yes, Magistrate!"

Liu Wang nodded, his expression thoughtful.

He flipped through the request again, then handed it to Jia Kai: "List the topics, and have a government meeting tomorrow to study it!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Jia Kai's lips, he quickly collected his thoughts, nodded and took it.

"Okay, County Magistrate!"
