Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 139 138. Kissing through the Ren and Du Meridians (Subscription Request)

Time flies and things change.

Dozens of seconds passed by unknowingly before Lin Xiao gave up his strange posture and sat back in the passenger seat obediently.

Han Xixi pursed her lips.

Her cheeks were as red as the sunset, her eyes were wide open, her head was empty, and she sat with her knees bent inwards, very obediently.

Lin Xiao just looked at her with his head tilted to the side, not knowing how she would react.

But no matter what the reaction is, I just kissed her on impulse. Now my mind is full of the softness, sweetness and the faint scent of gardenia.

hey-hey……

Lin Xiao smacked his lips lightly, savoring the happiness of his first kiss, not caring at all about Xixi's reaction.

But it took a long time to wait.

No reaction at all!

After a long while, a voice came from the side: "Still...still want to eat cake?"

"Eat, I'm hungry too!" Lin Xiao laughed.

"..."

Han Xixi didn't say anything, thinking: You're hungry, so you eat me, right? You big bad guy!

The atmosphere in the carriage was weird, 90% sweetness mixed with a hint of awkwardness.

Neither of them spoke a word, and they quietly opened the cake box!

Because I remembered the date wrong, I didn't make a wish or blow out the candles, but just cut the cake and ate it.

Seeing that Xixi didn't say anything, Lin Xiao didn't say anything either.

But the cake was delicious, the cream was sweet and not greasy, and he was hungry, so he ate it with relish.

Just about to get the second piece.

Xixi suddenly reached out and smeared a piece of cream on his face. The cool touch immediately spread across the surface of the skin and slowly penetrated into the oil layer.

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at her.

I saw a shy and sweet smiling face, with rosy, clear and shiny skin.

He turned his hand and spread a piece of cream back.

I originally wanted to smear it on her face, but she dodged and I ended up smearing it all on her lips.

"Lin Xiao!!" Xixi shouted.

"I'll wipe it for you, I'll wipe it for you..."

Lin Xiao held back his laughter and quickly looked for tissues in the car. He finally found and took out two.

Then he suddenly leaned forward and kissed her again.

Little by little, he licked the cream clean and rolled it onto the tip of his tongue along with the gardenia-scented lipstick.

Ok……

You know what, it tastes even sweeter this way!

……

After half an hour.

On the Ningyi Expressway, Han Xixi took his assistant Chen Jiajia with him, and the two drove to Xingcheng, which took about four hours.

Agent Zhou Hui had arrived early.

The two of them should have arrived together, but in order to celebrate Lin Xiao's birthday, Han Xixi took half a day off to visit Chaobai Town and then drove there.

Zhou Hui was worried about her, so she specially arranged for her assistant Chen Jiajia to follow her.

Jia Jia had to come, but was afraid that she would be a third wheel and get in the way, so she got off the car when it exited the highway at Anyang County.

Now that Han Xixi is back, he takes her back with him.

"Oh my, I'm blushing. I'm happy again!"

Chen Jiajia joked as soon as she came up, "You came all the way here to give me a surprise. My brother-in-law must be very touched, right?"

Han Xixi smiled gently: "Oh, don't mention it!"

He immediately told Chen Jiajia everything about the blunder that happened at noon, leaving Chen Jiajia speechless.

"Sister, you are so... you can even get birthdays wrong. All this time was wasted!"

Jia Jia couldn't help but complain, but she found that Han Xixi was laughing secretly, and it didn't look like there was a misunderstanding on his birthday at all.

She finally realized something was wrong and started asking more questions.

Han Xixi was actually getting really frustrated, so she quickly opened up and told the whole story about the cream incident.

Chen Jiajia’s little eyes opened immediately after hearing this.

"He kissed you? Twice?!"

"..."

Han Xixi bit her lip and admitted it.

Chen Jiajia was immediately overjoyed, even more excited than when she was kissed. Today was a carnival for CP fans.

"My Third Uncle, my brother-in-law is such a real man, well done!!"

With each exclamation, Han Xixi's cheeks became redder, as if she was allergic to the sound waves.

For a long time.

Chen Jiajia calmed down and began to ask seriously: "Sister, how was your first kiss? Did you two stick out your tongues?"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, are you polite?
Chen Jiajia said with a sigh, as if she had experienced it before: "What's the big deal? I still have to have children in the future!"

Han Xixi: “…”

This day was completely boring!

After a while, Chen Jiajia asked again: "So, sister, are you two really in the passionate love period now?"

Han Xixi bit her lip and smiled, then nodded: "I think so!"

Seeing her shameless look, Chen Jiajia, as a crazy fan of CP, felt the same way and laughed like an auntie.

It feels like the small seedling that I nurtured has finally grown into a towering tree.

"So how did my brother-in-law confess to you?" Jia Jia asked.

She knew that Han Xixi had been waiting for a formal confession from Lin Xiao, and now that they had kissed, it was tacit agreement that Lin Xiao had confessed.

Unexpectedly, Han Xixi shook his head: "He didn't..."

Jia Jia was shocked.

"No?!"

"Well...but I can't wait any longer!"

Han Xixi suppressed his excitement.

Chen Jiajia was stunned: "What do you mean by can't wait?"

Han Xixi tried her best not to laugh, but the happiness and sweetness from the bottom of her heart kept coming to her face like bubbles in a hot spring.

"I can't wait, which means... I really like him so much!!"

Han Xixi laughed loudly, her face flushed with laughter.

This bold look stunned Chen Jiajia, the fan leader. He thought, it was just a kiss, it couldn't be that serious, could it open up the Ren and Du meridians?

"What do you like about him?" Jia Jia asked while holding back her laughter.

"Like him...all of him!"

Han Xixi blushed and said, "He has always taken care of me. My work has been very busy, but he never found it annoying. He has flown all over the world just to accompany me. He also cooks delicious meals and porridge for me. He also takes good care of my family. When I have a stomachache during my menstrual period, he will..."

She didn't say anything else, just smiled foolishly with a red face.

"Drive carefully, this is a highway, sister!" Chen Jiajia shouted.

"Oh……"

Han Xixi pursed her lips, finding it really hard to control herself from laughing.

After a pause, she continued: "And Lin Xiao is right, we are indeed different from other couples and spouses..."

"What's the difference?"

"We got married a few days after we met, and then we slowly started to get to know each other. The mistake we made on our birthday today would never happen to other couples, but it happened to us!"

Han Xixi's face was light, and even her hair was flying. "So... I think I should forget about the plots in novels and on TV, and just be ourselves. So if there is no confession, then there is no confession. I know that he really likes me, that's enough..."

Chen Jiajia was dumbfounded as she listened.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

She shook her head with a look of disgust. "Women in love are so scary. They throw away their principles and bottom line at any time! During the Chinese New Year, she told me that she would fight Lin Xiao to the end, but after only a few days, she surrendered!"

Han Xixi didn't feel embarrassed at all and still smiled like a fool.

"There is no other way but to surrender. It's already..."

I’ve kissed you twice and my mouth is numb!
She pursed her lips, savoring the sudden, sweet, and fragrant cream kiss, and felt as if pink bubbles were all over her eyes.

"Jia Jia, you should also fall in love. Falling in love is really interesting..."

Han Xixi recommended it in a very serious manner, and almost said "Sister Xi's careful selection, quality guaranteed".

Chen Jiajia gave a perfunctory smile.

I used to yearn for love, but now seeing this sister look so worthless, I suddenly feel that this thing is stupid and time-consuming, so it’s better for me to be a spectator and support the CP.

Haha, I declined!
……

the other side.

Lin Xiao also had a sweet kiss with his wife and took a nap that was sweeter than cream.

I didn’t eat lunch.

A whole cake plus Han Xixi's shyness was enough to satisfy his hunger.

After waking up, he folded up the folding bed, left the office, drove straight to the county party committee compound, and found Ma Yongqiang's office.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to call Deputy Mayor Wang’s secretary Zhang Yiming directly.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

Although Wang Feng said that I could report to him directly, doing so would ultimately be an overstepping of authority. If the Benda Group's project really succeeded, it would not be a big deal, but now that it has not, it is better to follow the procedures honestly.

Deputy County Chief Ma happened to be in his office and was surprised to see him.

"Lin Xiao? Come in and sit down!"

Ma Yongqiang's tone was expectant, as if he was hoping that he could bring good news about the Benda Group.

Lin Xiao was not polite either. He threw his briefcase on the chair, then fell down with a hint of stubbornness.

Ma Yongqiang frowned, but still smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so sad?"

Lin Xiao sighed: "Ma County, this job is really impossible to do now. The higher-ups don't support it. When can I accomplish anything by myself?"

"Why, did Benda Group respond?"

"Yes, I replied - it's over!" Lin Xiao said.

Ma Yongqiang was shocked and couldn't believe it: "How could it be? When Mr. Meng visited last week, he praised Chaobai Town highly, saying that it was close to Ninghai, the transportation environment was very good, and the land price was cheap... From what he said, he was very interested in cooperation?"

Lin Xiao was indignant. "Yeah, I saw what Mr. Meng said and thought this project would be a success. But I didn't expect that after he went back and thought about it, he found out that Chaobai Town didn't even have a highway exit. How could this work? He directly rejected us!"

Ma Yongqiang was puzzled: "It can't be just because of a highway exit, right? Although Chaobai Town doesn't have a highway exit, it only takes half an hour to get on the highway whether it's to Ninghai or Anyang County. It won't delay anything at all!"

Lin Xiao stood up and said excitedly, "How can it not delay anything? Ma County, now is the era of efficiency, time is money! The biggest reason why Benda Group chose to build a factory in Nanzhou Province is because Nanzhou is located in the hinterland of South China, surrounded by large and medium-sized cities. The electric vehicles they produce can be delivered to 4S stores in all target cities at the fastest speed. As a result, the departure point was delayed by half an hour. Do you think they won't mind?"

Ma Yongqiang's face became serious, and he realized the seriousness of the problem!
Seeing that it was working, Lin Xiao continued his attack: "To be honest, Chaobai Town's biggest advantage is that it is close to Ninghai, but this advantage is not irreplaceable. We are just close to Ninghai, but Benda Group can directly set up a factory in Ninghai. As long as they nod, Ninghai's high-tech industrial park has plenty of land to grant them, and it won't be a problem to get on the highway in ten minutes."

Ma Yongqiang said, "That's not what I meant. Although the industrial park is close to the highway exit, the land is not cheap. If Benda Group wants to build a production base, it will need at least two to three hundred acres of land, which is a huge expense. I guess Mr. Meng went to Chaobai Town for inspection because Chaobai Town has a lot of land and it's cheap, which can save a lot of money."

Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "Yes, you are right. But the Benda Group is developing well now, and its stock price is rising steadily. It must be rich now! So they may consider saving money when building a factory, but convenient transportation must come before saving money. From this point of view, it is too reasonable for them to reject our Chaobai Town!"

After some careful investigation, Ma Yongqiang stopped talking.

At this point, we finally have to admit that this big project that seemed like pie in the sky had failed because of a small highway exit.

Before, when Chaobai Town asked for permission to build a highway exit, he actually did not agree with it from the bottom of his heart.

I feel that Chaobai Town is just a remote town, at the very edge of the entire Anyang County, and its economic data is also very average.

There is no need to build a highway exit at all.

But now, Ma Yongqiang suddenly realized that from the perspective of Yizhou and Anyang County, Chaobai Town is indeed a remote town.

But standing in the provincial capital of Ninghai, you can see that this is the land under the feet of the emperor, and it has great potential for development!
When Lin Xiao saw County Magistrate Ma's look, he knew that he had performed his part well and was ready to wrap it up.

"Ma Xian, to be honest, this incident has dealt me ​​a heavy blow!"

He said sincerely, "I really wanted to make some achievements. I used a lot of personal connections to contact Meng Zhaodong, a big shot. The whole inspection process went smoothly... Who knew that in the end it would be a failure at a highway entrance!"

He sighed, but he wasn't lying.

When lobbying Meng Zhaodong, he was not trying to use the company's reputation as a banner from the beginning, but he really felt that it was a good choice for Benda Group to set up a factory in Chaobai Town. It would be a mutually beneficial situation for both parties and no one would take advantage of anyone.

After being ruthlessly rejected by Meng Zhaodong, he had to settle for the second best and hoped that Meng Zhaodong could help him get the highway entrance and exit.

Now there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Lin Xiao continued, looking very frustrated, and said, "Ma County, I am not being wise after the event! If the request I submitted last time could be approved, the cooperation with Benda Group might be successful. They can get the land to build a factory, and the highway intersection can be built here, without any delays on either side.

"And in terms of engineering difficulty, the expressway exit will definitely be built first, and it won't affect the production and transportation of the Benda Group at all... But it's useless to say all this now. With the loss of the Benda Group, I don't dare to hold out hope for other projects in the future..."

As he spoke, he sighed again and again, looking as if he had lost all desire to live.

Seeing this, Ma Yongqiang said quickly: "This is not right. You can't blame yourself for a failure. Investment promotion is not always successful! Cheer up, there will be more good projects in the future. As for the matter of the highway intersection... I will report it to the leaders at the next team meeting, and I will do my best to promote it and solve the traffic problem in your Chaobai Town!"

Ma Yongqiang didn't say this in a too decisive way.

But this is the heaviest commitment that can be made within the institutional framework.

Lin Xiao knew when to stop, and continued to shake his head, sigh, and force a smile, pretending to be disheartened but still trying to give face to his leader.

This wave of superb acting skills is worthy of a Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, and it can even be used as a review clip during the awards ceremony.

After a few more small talk, Lin Xiao retreated.

Things have come to this point, he has done his best, and what happens next is all he can do.

If it still doesn't work, it means Chaobai Town really doesn't have this high speed, and he has no choice but to give up.

Next two days.

Lin Xiao should be busy with work and completely forget about this matter.

As soon as he got off work on Friday, he drove past his home without entering and went straight to the high-speed rail station, catching the high-speed train on time to Star City.

I received a call from my mother-in-law Liu Liyun on the way.

"Hey, mom!"

"Xiao Lin, are you going to Haicheng this weekend?" Liu Liyun asked.

Lin Xiao was puzzled by this, because his mother-in-law had not paid attention to their reunion for some time.

He said hurriedly, "Mom, Xixi is recording a show on Mango TV tonight. I'm going to Xingcheng to find her now. As for whether she will go back to Haicheng or Ninghai after the show, I haven't asked her yet. I'll tell you when it's decided tonight... Don't you know that she's going to Xingcheng?"

Liu Liyun laughed heartily and said, "She flies everywhere every day. I'm too lazy to ask and she's too lazy to tell me. Especially now that she's married, she reports everything to her husband. How can she remember that she has a mother at home?"

This sounds like jealousy.

But Lin Xiao knew that his mother-in-law was just joking and didn't take it seriously.

He laughed dryly and asked, "Mom, do you have anything for Xixi?"

"no!"

Liu Liyun said casually, "It's your dad. He left for Haicheng this afternoon to inspect the project. I thought if you and Xixi were here, you would contact him and have dinner with him. If you don't contact him, he won't contact you, what an old-fashioned guy!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, his attention was not on the second half, but on the very beginning.

"Dad is going to Haicheng to inspect the project?"

"Yes, it seems to be some electric car manufacturer. Not only him, but also provincial leaders, a large group of people!"

Liu Liyun is usually very sensitive about this kind of thing and never talks about work with outsiders.

But Lin Xiao is their son-in-law and he makes a living from this, so it doesn’t matter if the family members say a few words.

Lin Xiao took it to heart.

"Benda Group?" he asked.

"Ok?"

Liu Liyun was surprised, "How did you know? I don't even remember the name!"

Lin Xiao smiled and did not hide anything. He briefly told the story about the failed cooperation talks between Chaobai Town and Benda Group.

Liu Liyun suddenly understood and didn't say much.

But Lin Xiao understood.

In fact, he has been wondering about one thing these days, that is, after Meng Zhaodong's inspection, why did his father-in-law seem to pay no attention to the follow-up progress at all, and he didn't even call to ask.

Only now did he realize it.

It seems that Han Haijun never expected that Benda Group could build a production base in Chaobai Town. Instead, he firmly believed that given Nanzhou Province's weak layout in the new energy industry, it was necessary to pool the province's resources and policies to make this cooperation possible and keep Benda Group.

After figuring this out, Lin Xiao smiled suddenly.

I fully realized that your father is still your father, and I am still too young compared to my father-in-law.

But he didn't feel sorry for himself!
Because if he hadn't had the opportunity to contact Meng Zhaodong, no matter how capable Han Haijun was, he would not have contacted the Benda Group, at least not this time.

Not to mention successful collaboration.

Therefore, if this project can really be negotiated, Lin Xiao will definitely get a share of the credit.

"Success doesn't have to be mine, but I must be part of it?"

Lin Xiao finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

I didn’t think much about it at the moment.

The high-speed rail speeds up and heads straight to the Star City!
