Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 157 156. Kiss Her in the Brilliant Night Sky ( Words, Please Subscribe)

The solution Lin Xiao thought of was to execute first and report later.

Since the formal process of asking for permission before development doesn't work, let's just do it the other way around.

First contact the developer to conduct research and inspection. If the developer is interested in the land and offers a price, Lin Xiao doesn't believe that the county leaders can resist being tempted by the huge income from the land sale.

He did what he said.

The first thing I did when I got to work in the afternoon was to call Jiang Bohan, the vice president of Dijin Real Estate.

At the beginning of the year, after Dijin Real Estate acquired the unfinished building of Xuefu Yaju in the town, the land transfer fee was quickly received and the demolition compensation was also paid immediately.

The factory owners whose factories were demolished all spent a happy and peaceful New Year.

After the new year, Xuefu Yaju started construction in full swing and has now entered the main construction phase.

The construction site is in full swing every day.

As the main promoter of this project, Lin Xiao and Jiang Bohan have a very pleasant cooperation, and of course he is the first person they think of when good things happen.

After receiving Lin Xiao's call, Jiang Bohan was a little surprised, and inexplicably felt that his wallet was about to be emptied again.

"Hello, Mayor Lin."

"Boss Jiang, how are you?"

Lin Xiao's tone was warm, and the two of them reminisced about the past.

Lin Xiao then got to the point: "It's like this, Mr. Jiang, we have a piece of land in our town with very nice scenery and a hot spring with a total area of ​​more than 300 square meters. It is particularly suitable for the development of a resort hotel... Is Mr. Jiang interested?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Bohan was stunned and already felt pain in his waist.

"Hot springs? There are hot springs in Chaobai Town?" He was really surprised.

"Of course, this is a Feng Shui treasure land!"

Lin Xiao tried his best to promote the product. “Mr. Jiang, are you interested? If you are interested, you can come and have a look. I guarantee you will like it!”

Jiang Bohan was silent.

But he said: "Mayor Lin, I'll tell you the truth. First of all, we at Dijin have always been engaged in residential development and commercial buildings, but we have never done resort hotels and have no experience!"

He smiled awkwardly, but Lin Xiao felt that this Vice President Jiang seemed much calmer than when they met last year.

Jiang Bohan continued, "Secondly, our Dijin Group invested too much in residential development last year. We first acquired three plots of land in Ninghai and Yizhou, and later took over the Xuefu Yaju project in Chaobai Town.

“To be honest, taking over the Xuefu Yaju project has overdrawn the capital for Dijin, and now we really don’t have the spare energy to develop new properties.

"If the market was good in the past few years, and we really came across a suitable plot of land, we could have raised our leverage and borrowed more money. But as you know, the real estate industry is struggling to survive in the current environment, and no one dares to do this anymore. I am a tough guy, but my old man is very cautious now, so this project... I can only say sorry, Mayor Lin!"

These words were well-reasoned and made Lin Xiaozhang continue lobbying without saying a word.

In the end, we could only chat for a few minutes and hung up the phone in a friendly manner.

Sit in the office and think for a moment.

Lin Xiao did not give up and called Wang Yanru, the vice president of Longhui Real Estate.

When the Xuefu Yaju project was being revitalized last year, both Dijin and Longhui, two of the leading real estate developers in Yizhou, were interested - of course, this was due to his maneuvering and hesitating.

But no matter what means were used.

In the end, the land was taken by Di Jin. Long Hui was very unhappy when he found out about it. He felt like the duck in his mouth had flown away.

Now a new duck is out of the pot.

Lin Xiao definitely couldn't forget Long Hui, so he called Wang Yanru directly.

Wang Yanru was also surprised when she received the call and answered it quickly.

The two of them chatted about the past for a while, just like they did with Jiang Bohan just now, and then Lin Xiao went straight to the point and talked about the development of Laoya Mountain.

Wang Yanru guessed that Deputy Mayor Lin called because he wanted to do business with them.

But I didn’t guess that it was not a residential area, but a resort hotel development.

She was very surprised.

Longhui Real Estate is also involved in this field. They have developed a hotel at the foot of Yuehua Mountain in Yizhou.

Although it is not the main business, it is also a legitimate business. A cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

"There are hot springs in Chaobai Town? I never thought of that!"

"If you have time, come and have a look, I promise you won't be disappointed!"

Lin Xiao worked hard to promote the project, and then sighed, "In fact, we were not able to successfully cooperate with Longhui on the Xuefu Yaju project last year, which was quite regretful for our town. In particular, I took the initiative to contact you, but in the end, we were unable to cooperate successfully, which made your company go twice in vain. I really feel bad. So now that there is a new project to be developed, I immediately thought of you, and directly skipped the leadership to call you, inviting your company to be the first to come for inspection!"

Lin Xiao spoke with utmost sincerity.

Wang Yanru thought for a while before she extracted the toxin and sand from the big bowl of magic soup.

Skip the leader? First inspection?

I'm afraid the county doesn't agree to the development at all, and this guy just acts without authorization and asks us to be the first to take action?
Wang Yanru sneered.

She was not afraid of being the first to stand out. It was just a small county and there was nothing to worry about.

The main reason is the current economic environment. Local teams prioritize making money. They have resources but are unwilling to sell them, which means that either there is something fishy about the resources or there is something fishy about the local team.

No matter which one it is.

As a business, we cannot afford the risks and consequences!

What's more, tourism real estate development is not Longhui's main business.

So Wang Yanru refused without thinking: "Lin Zhen said so. I will study it after reporting to the leader. I have a meeting, so let's not talk about it for now!"

Then he just hung up.

Lin Xiao was expecting this, but he was still a little discouraged. Including the morning visit to the county magistrate's office, he had been turned away three times today.

Things never happen three times, so it’s time for a turnaround, right?

As soon as this thought popped into his mind, the phone on the table rang, startling him.

When I picked it up, it turned out to be Meng Zhaodong.

He quickly answered: "Hello, senior!"

Meng Zhaodong's signature hearty laughter came along the signal, with the typical boss style.

"Little brother, what are you busy with?"

"I'm at work. How come you have time to call me?"

"Come to Ninghai today to sign the contract!"

Meng Zhaodong's tone was quite emotional.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately realized what it was.

"The contract for the Benda Group's production base?"

"No!"

Meng Zhaodong smiled and sighed, "This agreement can be signed thanks to you, my junior brother! To be honest, I have been working hard in Haicheng for many years, and I have always wanted to do something for my hometown, but every time I felt that the timing was not right or the environment was not right, so I have not really made any contribution to my hometown in all these years.

"When we first started building this production base, we didn't consider Ninghai. If you hadn't contacted me, spoken boldly, and carefully demonstrated, there wouldn't have been this step-by-step connection that ultimately led to the implementation of this project. Junior brother, I have to thank you!"

Meng Zhaodong's tone was full of emotion, and it didn't sound like he was being deliberately polite.

To be honest, as a tycoon with assets worth billions, there is no need for him to be polite to a deputy mayor.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Senior, please don't say that. I am just a young and inexperienced person. It was only after I met you that I realized how naive and unreliable my ideas were.

"The main reason why the cooperation was able to be concluded was the policy support from the provincial leaders, and the second reason was your sincerity in giving back to your hometown. I dare not take credit for it, your word 'thank you' is too embarrassing for me!"

Meng Zhaodong laughed out loud, in a cheerful mood.

This junior fellow student is really a wonderful person. He works at the grassroots level at such a young age, and he has neither the impetuousness that one would expect at his age, nor the attitude that one is used to having in the system.

Be neither humble nor arrogant, and know when to advance and retreat appropriately.

Meng Zhaodong admired him more and more and wanted to recruit him to Benda Group, believing that he would have a bright future.

Of course, he knew this was simply impossible.

It is common for people within the system to go into business, but Lin Xiao has a bright future and a smooth road ahead, and it is obvious that he is not someone who will easily jump out of the circle.

Meng Zhaodong's heart is as clear as a mirror.

He had never asked about Lin Xiao's qualifications and background, but as soon as the call was connected, he just mentioned signing a contract, and he immediately told him everything about the contract and who had the credit.

These details would have no way of being known unless one was an insider involved in this cooperation.

Lin Xiao just started it.

But he did not participate in many of the subsequent procedures, so how did he know such details?

Meng Zhaodong had guessed this early on, and now it has been confirmed.

I have met Lin Xiao twice before.

Once in Haicheng and once in Jingzhou, he was casually associated with the big star Han Xixi. It is not difficult to guess that he is the outsider husband of this new popular singer.

Ordinary people’s thinking ends here.

However, Meng Zhaodong thought more: What is the origin of this Han Xixi?

Following this line of thought, it was easy for him to think that an important person who facilitated this cooperation was Han Haijun who worked in Yizhou.

During the entire cooperation process, he was the only one who was neither an official from Haicheng nor a provincial leader.

It shouldn't have appeared, but he participated in the whole process.

Coincidentally, his surname is also Han and he once worked in Ninghai.

Now all the information is correct.

Having such a father-in-law who holds an important position and has such a courageous spirit to think and act.

Lin Xiao's career path is visibly broad and successful.

He has a superstar wife at home who earns money, so no matter how exciting the outside world is, it is impossible for it to pry him away.

Meng Zhaodong thought about it and gave up.

He immediately said: "Junior brother, no matter what you say, I will definitely thank you. I am not in the habit of owing favors to others. The production base will be built in the High-tech Industrial Park in Ninghai, there is no doubt about it, but I can't let you work in vain - I have already discussed with the group to build a parts factory in your Chaobai Town, with an annual output value of about 100 million, which can be regarded as adding some performance to your business!"

Meng Zhaodong said this calmly, as if he was treating him to braised chicken in the evening.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiao was stunned.

There was no response for a long time.

"Little brother?"

"Alas!"

Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, and he quickly agreed, "Senior, you built the production base in Ninghai, but built the parts factory here. Will it increase the production costs of your group?"

Meng Zhaodong laughed: "Of course not! Brother, I am a businessman after all, I will not do business that loses money! Although Ninghai has given enough policy benefits, no matter how favorable it is, the land price is still much more expensive than your Chaobai Town!"

Lin Xiao nodded. That’s true.

Meng Zhaodong continued: "So from the perspective of cost saving, we don't have to build all the production lines here. Some industries with high technical requirements will definitely not be moved to your place, mainly because the quality of your workers cannot meet our requirements.

"But basic parts like screws and door panels don't require such stringent requirements on workers, so it's quite appropriate to build them in your place. The land is cheap, and it's close to Ninghai. The most important thing is that the expressway will be completed soon, so it will only take 20 to 30 minutes to transport them here, which is quite reliable!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao felt relieved.

I was rejected by two real estate developers in one afternoon and was feeling quite depressed, but I didn’t expect that I could gain something in return!
"Since you said so, I won't be polite. I will do my best to serve our group!"

"I trust you, my junior, to do things for me!"

"But Senior, I have a favor to ask!"

Lin Xiao said shyly, "Can we put this parts factory matter on hold for now and sign the contract in half a month or a month?"

Meng Zhaodong was very surprised: "Why is this?"

He subconsciously guessed that this strange request might be Lin Xiao's attempt to take all the credit for himself.

After all, this is what the system is all about.

However, Lin Xiao said, "To be honest, I am planning to do something that may be criticized. If I get what I want and make my boss angry, I can use your contract to block it!"

This made Meng Zhaodong even more curious.

I thought, how could this junior have such a powerful father-in-law, and how dare his boss get angry with him? How big of a deal is this!

I couldn't help but ask immediately.

Lin Xiao did not hide anything and told everyone about his plan to develop Laoya Mountain without consulting anyone later.

Meng Zhaodong sounded a little disappointed.

In his opinion, this matter is not worth considering at all. Anyone who has resources but does not develop them is a fool.

What is the most important thing in this era?

Make money, make money, make money!

Lin Xiao understood that the word "influence" that frequently hangs over the heads of people within this system is something that people outside the circle cannot understand at all.

It's normal for Meng Zhaodong to find it confusing.

The two did not discuss this further.

Meng Zhaodong suddenly said, "Speaking of resort development, I do have an acquaintance who specializes in this. He is responsible for the development of many resort hotels in scenic spots across the country, and he is now a senior executive of this group!"

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, even brighter than when he heard that Meng Zhaodong was going to build a factory in Chaobai Town.

"Senior, you are simply my benefactor!"

"Hahaha!"

Meng Zhaodong laughed loudly, and there was no need to say more. "When do you have time to go to Haicheng? I'll set up a meeting and you two can talk in person."

Lin Xiao quickly said: "Sure, sure, you can arrange it anytime, I'll be there anytime!"

This straightforward attitude improved Meng Zhaodong's impression of the system circle.

I couldn't help but joked, "Hey? I'm just helping you, so I'm repaying your favor. So, does that mean we don't have to talk about the parts factory anymore?"

Lin Xiao quickly said, "Senior, look at what you said. Do we still need to settle our relationship? I owe you this once, and I will have a chance to contact you again in the future, right?"

Meng Zhaodong burst into laughter.

Now I finally understood why Han Haijun and Han Xixi, the father and daughter, took a fancy to this little brother who came from an ordinary family?
It turns out that he has the ability to make people happy!
For the first time, Meng Zhaodong felt so happy that he was taken advantage of.

The two of them hung up the phone happily.

……

Because of Meng Zhaodong's call, Lin Xiao's heart, which had been hanging for many days, finally felt relieved a little.

Now you don’t have to worry about begging for help.

Just wait for Meng Zhaodong to arrange a dinner, and then you can strike with one strike.

It was already Thursday afternoon.

Lin Xiao spent a day and a half to finish the work at hand. After get off work on Friday, he went straight to the high-speed rail station to visit his wife in Xingcheng.

Tonight is Han Xixi's last performance on "Singer".

The last time she came was when she made her first appearance, and the two of them went to Jiangda to see the cherry blossoms the next day.

Unexpectedly, this short journey on "Singer" is over in a blink of an eye.

I chatted with Xixi these two nights, but she wasn't in a good mood.

It wasn't because she was eliminated from "Singer", but because Yu Anan kept pestering her to change the song for her encore performance to "Night Wind Glory".

Of course, Xixi did not give in in the end.

But the corresponding result is that the online condemnation of Han Xixi has become increasingly powerful.

The hot search topic keeps rising and falling, but it just won’t go down.

It can be seen that Yu Anan was really pushed into a corner!

When Han Xixi hides at home like a turtle, he can automatically block out these sounds.

But now that I'm going to go on stage, it's impossible for me not to hear the wind direction outside. If I hear it, it will inevitably affect my mood, so I'm not in a good mood.

Lin Xiao knew that these were the necessary steps to becoming a star.

There was no need for her to give her any advice. He just acted as a mouthpiece during the video call at night, saying out loud what she had cursed at Yu Anan in her heart, which made Han Xixi giggle.

This boyfriend has a perfect emotional value.

The high-speed rail ticket Lin Xiao bought this time was twenty minutes late.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the Star City Radio and Television Center.

As usual, Chen Jiajia was waiting at the door.

At this time, the dressing room was already preparing for recording and outsiders were not allowed to enter, so Chen Jiajia could only arrange him to stay in a staff lounge.

There is also a large screen for live broadcast.

Lin Xiao sat here and ate a box lunch provided by the staff, just as the seventh live broadcast started.

Han Xixi was the third to go on stage.

The live broadcast screen is quiet without any online comments.

Lin Xiao appreciated Han Xixi's performance completely from the perspective of an audience member.

In the lens.

Han Xixi wore a pink bubble skirt with a small bun on top of her head, and the rest of her hair was curled into small fine waves.

The overall style is playful and cute, which is far from her usual image.

But in fact, this is what really suits her current age.

As soon as this image came out, there was an immediate “wow” in the room.

Lin Xiao turned around and found that there were already seven or eight male staff members sitting in the room, all wearing the same staff badge as him.

But it seems like they don't know each other.

On TV, Han Xixi had playful eyes and a relaxed voice. She was more relaxed than the first time she sang "The Magic of Love" offline, and she didn't seem to be affected by the recent online war of words.

Lin Xiao was attracted unconsciously.

For the first time, I felt that my wife was really shining on the stage. The reservedness she had when she first debuted had completely disappeared, and now she seemed like she was born to be on this stage.

He leaned his elbows on the table, his cheeks supported by his palms, and watched the entire show with an auntie's smile on his face.

The room was very quiet.

Only after the girl on the screen bowed did the men smile knowingly.

"Her husband is so lucky, he can be both salty and sweet!"

"Han Xixi's singing skills are great, she really shouldn't have been eliminated!"

"Let's not talk about whether it's powerful or not, anyway, this song almost melted me!"

"Damn, it reminds me of my first love!"

"His husband must be so lucky to marry this girl!"

"..."

Lin Xiao's eyebrows danced, but he said nothing.

I heard a long time ago that male fans account for a very large proportion of Xixi's fans, and now it seems to be true.

At this moment, known as "Brother Pig" by everyone, he kept his achievements and fame to himself and left quietly.

Backstage again.

Because Han Xixi is the returning guest today, that’s all she has to do after she finishes singing. There will be no more shots or follow-up interviews.

Just remove your makeup, change your clothes and leave.

Lin Xiao waited outside the door for half an hour. When Han Xixi appeared again, he was already dressed simply as usual.

However, her curly hair is still very eye-catching, completely different from her usual style.

Lin Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw this, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he stopped because of the people coming and going backstage.

"Can you leave?"

"Um……"

Han Xixi was a little hesitant.

I looked at my agent and assistant next to me and felt that it was not a human being to walk with my boyfriend like this.

The two of them understood immediately.

Chen Jiajia: "I made an appointment with my classmates!"

Zhou Hui: "Hello, hello, talk..."

He covered his phone and walked away screaming.

Han Xixi understood, then put on a mask and went to the underground garage with Lin Xiao.

The car was her own. Zhou Hui brought the two of them all the way from Ninghai.

Now the driver has changed to Lin Xiao.

The journey was smooth and we arrived at the road. We turned a corner and passed by the entrance of Mango TV.

Then I saw an incredible scene.

A group of little girls were shoving and shoving the security guard at the door. The girls were shouting and screaming, and the three words "Han Xixi" could be heard faintly.

Xixi rolled down the car window and the noise became louder.

"Han Xixi, come out and apologize, apologize to our An An!"

"Coward, don't you dare come out!"

"Disgusting! Bitch!"

“Boycott vulgar artists!!”

"Mango TV aided and abetted the evil, allowing low-quality bitches to perform on the stage!"

"..."

Several people shouted and screamed at the top of their lungs, more devotedly than when they were mourning the death of a family member.

Even the division of labor among these people is very clear.

Two strong guys were responsible for taking the lead in breaking through the security defense, a few with loud voices were shouting and cursing, and there was another one with equipment set up for live broadcast, they were really trying hard to make the matter bigger.

Han Xixi had been in a better mood after singing the song, but when he saw this scene, his eyebrows drooped again.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao raised the glass again.

The green light ahead came on, and he started forward slowly, with a determined look in his eyes and a calm expression.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

"I just watched your performance!" Lin Xiao said calmly.

"Oh……"

"There were several staff members watching with me. Guess what they thought of you?"

"..."

Han Xixi didn't say anything and didn't dare to guess at all.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "They all said that you sing very well, and you can be pure and sweet at the same time. You are the type of female singer that can't be found in the music industry today!"

Han Xixi's eyes lit up, but he still didn't dare to respond, for fear that Lin Xiao was deliberately saying this to comfort him.

"I have a live video. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you!"

"what?!"

Han Xixi was really surprised and laughed, "You even recorded a video?"

Lin Xiao was very proud: "Of course! If someone praises my wife, I must take a picture of it. The phone is in my pocket, you can take it out yourself!"

As he said this, he deliberately raised his right buttock and gestured to her.

Han Xixi actually really wants to watch it.

But then I thought that the action of reaching into my trouser pockets was too indecent, so I gave up.

"No, I believe you!"

She spoke softly, her mood brightening a little.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't watch it! I just want to tell you that there are people in this world who admire you, and there are also people who discredit you. Those who discredit you may not be sincere, there may be various reasons, but those who admire you must really appreciate you... understand?"

Han Xixi nodded, her expression showing 0% distress and 100% joy.

"I know, brother~"

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao nodded and returned his butt to normal.

"Huh? Brother, where are we going?" Han Xixi just remembered to ask.

“Go to a great place!”

Lin Xiao kept it a secret and Han Xixi didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, Hong Ben stopped at the entrance of an amusement park.

Under the cover of night, Han Xixi was led by Lin Xiao straight forward and came to the Ferris wheel.

Buy tickets, queue up, and get on the bus.

The carriage slowly rose into the air, soon getting farther and farther away from the ground, and the view became wider and wider.

Han Xixi stood in front of the glass, looking down into the distance, and the expression on his face finally became relaxed.

Lin Xiaoke didn't have the heart to look outside.

A pair of eyes fell on Xixi's waist, and he opened his thumb and index finger and compared again and again to make sure that he could really pinch it.

"Brother~"

"Ok?"

Lin Xiao quickly hid his hands behind his back and gave a guilty smile.

Han Xixi was indeed unaware and asked excitedly, "How do you know I like riding the Ferris wheel?"

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Are there any girls who don't like to sit?"

"Tsk, as if you know a lot about girls!"

Han Xixi was arrogant, holding onto the railing and looking outside.

Lin Xiao approached quietly, put his arms around her slender waist, and pretended to look outside seriously.

Han Xixi felt the approach of a masculine presence, but pretended not to notice. Her expression changed from light to dark under the flickering lights, but her emotions became more and more flamboyant.

"wrong!"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized something and asked, "Have you often ridden the Ferris wheel before?"

Han Xixi said: "Not often, but I have sat here a few times!"

Lin Xiao frowned: "With whom?"

Han Xixi immediately understood what he was doubting and burst into laughter.

"Why? Are you afraid that I came with a boy?"

"As a dating destination, it's reasonable for me to be suspicious, right?"

"Humph!"

Han Xixi pouted proudly and said, "They are all girls! College classmates, high school classmates, oh, and Xie Xiaowei..."

Then he suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Now that I think about it, I actually sat with a boy once!"

"Um?!"

Lin Xiao was so surprised that he hugged her slender waist even tighter, and their bodies were completely embedded together.

Han Xixi blushed and said hurriedly, "We weren't alone with the boys! It was just me, Xie Xiaowei, and her cousin Xie Bin... Oh, he was the one who helped me get the franchise agreement for Kudi!"

This explanation not only did not make Lin Xiao's expression better, but it became even more serious.

He narrowed his eyes and asked after a long while: "This Xie Bin...has chased you, right?"

Han Xixi rolled his eyes.

"You're getting more and more ridiculous. He's five years older than Xiaowei and I. We're not even the same age. How is that possible?"

"Five years older is impossible?"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and exerted force with his hands, turning Han Xixi's body over, so that they immediately changed from a side-by-side position to a face-to-face position, making the fit even tighter.

Han Xixi's face became more and more rosy.

Lin Xiao pretended not to know, pinched her chin and asked: "I am also five years older than you, so it is impossible for us to be together?"

Han Xixi glared at him coquettishly, then quickly dropped her eyes.

"That...that's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"Well... it's just different anyway!"

As Xixi spoke, she became more and more embarrassed. She was so angry that she punched him on the chest, which made Lin Xiao feel itchy and he lowered his head and kissed him.

This time, Han Xixi did not refuse.

At this time, the Ferris wheel was at its highest point, with the entire Star City at its feet and the neon lights on the river bank in the distance swaying brightly.

The light was just right, the atmosphere was just right.

Although Lin Xiao's series of actions had impure motives, he was truly devoted to it at this moment.

His lips crawled on Xiao Xixi's lips and tongue.

His palms rubbed across her slender back.

You could clearly feel her body temperature rising.

After kissing for an unknown amount of time, the two of them put their foreheads together, closed their eyes, swallowed their saliva, and breathed heavily.

Lin Xiao lowered his head to look at Xixi.

Xixi felt so embarrassed that she refused to show it to him and buried her head in his chest.

Lin Xiao laughed.

Leaning against the railing, gazing into the distance, gently stroking her curly hair, I felt like I was hugging a big bear!

"Well...Xie Bin did like me!"

Xixi suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Xie Bin was, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I say, Han Xixi, are you stupid? Is this the time to talk about this?"

He loosened his arms, held her face with both hands, and squeezed her little face into a pig head, feeling very disappointed with her.

Han Xixi's mouth was like a little goldfish, and she said seriously, "Didn't you ask me that just now?"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "I wasn't asking, I was confirming! Do I need you to answer me?"

He was so angry that he kissed the little goldfish hard on the mouth again.

Han Xixi was kissed so hard that she felt dizzy.

Breaking free, he asked seriously, "I only knew about this because Xiaowei reminded me! You haven't even met Xie Bin, how do you know?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "We're all men, how could I not know what this guy is up to? Last time you said a man helped you get the franchise agreement, I was suspicious. Now I hear you say he went on the Ferris wheel with you two little girls, so how could he escape? Which decent man would go on a Ferris wheel with a member of the opposite sex other than his girlfriend?"

Han Xixi was shocked. He never expected it to be like this!
Lin Xiao poked her forehead angrily: "You too, you are not self-aware at all. Knowing that others like you, you still ask someone to get a franchise agreement. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Han Xixi was a little flustered and quickly explained: "No! Brother Xie Bin has a girlfriend now, and I am married too. I thought that since we grew up together, it should be okay to ask him for help..."

Lin Xiao felt inexplicably relieved.

"You have a girlfriend..."

"Yes, she's an elementary school teacher. Xiaowei showed me the photo. They're a perfect match!"

"Oh, that's no problem!"

"..."

Han Xixi was relieved, but then he frowned again and pushed Lin Xiao away. "You, Lin Xiao, you bad guy, apologize to me now!"

Lin Xiao was able to let it go and immediately said seriously: "I'm sorry!"

Han Xixi was caught off guard by the quick change of expression and burst out laughing.

The Ferris wheel is already moving down.

Lin Xiao cherished the time and opened his arms again: "Hug me again, hug me again!"

Han Xixi was not willing to give him another chance. She snorted arrogantly, folded her hands, and sat down on the chair.

"Mr. Lin, please don't push your luck!"

"Huh? It was you who seduced me just now, why is Mr. Lin here again?"

"When did I seduce you?" Han Xixi put her hands on her hips.

"You called me brother first, and you were so sweet and cute. It was obvious that you were flirting with me and wanted me to kiss you!"

"..."

Han Xixi was a little embarrassed, wondering how he could have figured it out? !
But he refused to admit it: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Be careful or I will sue you for defamation!"

Lin Xiao’s eyes widened and he was completely convinced.

Are girls nowadays so shameless that they turn their backs on you after they’ve had a good kiss?

It's just like he just flirts but doesn't book a room, and he only cares about killing but not burying

……

That night, Lin Xiao failed to invade Han Xixi's bedroom.

I opened another one in despair.

After breakfast the next day, the two returned to Ninghai.

On the highway, Lin Xiao suddenly received a call from Meng Zhaodong.

"Junior, can you come over this afternoon? I have an appointment to play badminton with Mr. Zhang from Guijia Group. If you can come, I can arrange a dinner for you in the evening!" Meng Zhaodong said.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the two days that President Meng mentioned would really pass.

The call was being made on an external speaker, and Han Xixi also heard it.

He hesitated for a moment.

Xixi quickly made an "OK" gesture to him, signaling him to get busy.

Lin Xiao then said: "No problem, senior, I will fly to Haicheng now and arrive in the afternoon!"

Meng Zhaodong smiled and said, "That's great. I can tell from the looks of it that I'm a man who can do great things!"

The two exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Lin Xiao glanced at Xixi and said apologetically: "Let me take you home first... I'm sorry, Xixi, I said I would accompany you this weekend!"

Han Xixi didn't care and smiled brightly: "It's okay! You have been accommodating to my schedule before, now you should be busy, it's okay! Anyway, I will take a break for a while, and we can meet when you come back."

When Lin Xiao heard her say this, his heart was warmed to the core.

Sometimes, a wife really doesn’t need to be beautiful, rich, or even considerate.

It is enough to just give full understanding to such men when they are in trouble!

Lin Xiao now feels that this girl is simply radiant, more beautiful and charming than when she is on the stage, on the red carpet, and in advertisements.

"Then I'll take you home first!" He smiled gently.

"Um... don't!"

Han Xixi shook his head and suddenly grinned, "I want to go to your house!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Go to my house?"

"Yes, let's go to your house. There are ponds and fields there, with sunshine and breeze. It's very comfortable!"

Xixi said it very seriously.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised and then smiled.

He touched his hair which had become smooth after a night and said, "Great!"

Pass through Anyang County on the way.

Lin Xiao had called his parents in advance, and the couple was already waiting in the house. When they saw Xixi coming back, they took her in with her luggage.

Lin Xiao walked straight to the airport without stopping.

The flight was at 2pm and landed in Haicheng at 4pm.

After leaving the airport, we took a taxi directly and half an hour later arrived at a hotel Meng Zhaodong had located, which was located in a resort in the southern suburbs.

When Lin Xiao got out of the car and went in, he saw the logo of "Guijia Group" under the name of the hotel.

It immediately became clear that this was the industry of Guijia Group.

This type of resort hotel combines accommodation, business and leisure. It can be used for meetings and work, as well as for family leisure and entertainment. Behind the hotel is a large swimming pool and water park, and there are various fitness areas on the rooftop.

Meng Zhaodong brought his family here to spend the weekend.

While his wife and children were soaking in the swimming pool, he was playing badminton with Zhang Mucheng, an executive of Guijia Group, at the badminton court. This is also Mr. Meng’s only sports hobby.

The two fought fiercely for more than an hour and were sweating profusely and were about to take a bath when Lin Xiao arrived.

Meng Zhaodong introduced Lin Xiao and Zhang Mucheng to each other.

Zhang Mucheng was no fool either. He immediately realized that Meng Zhaodong was intentionally trying to make connections and must have something to say.

But I didn't point it out at the moment.

They each went back to their rooms, took a shower and changed their clothes.

Zhang Mucheng arranged a private room, and the three men toasted each other and got down to business.

Meng Zhaodong started the presentation, and then it was Lin Xiao's turn to present.

He first toasted Zhang Mucheng with a glass of wine.

Then he explained the purpose of his visit and the selling points of Laoyashan in a concise and to the point manner without any exaggeration.

Zhang Mucheng's expression did not change obviously from beginning to end, but he was still keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Brother, I understand!"

Zhang Mucheng smiled and said, "As for the development of this mountain, it's you who's the only one who's enthusiastic about it, and your county doesn't support it at all, right?"

Lin Xiao did not hide it and nodded, "Indeed! It is precisely because the county leaders have too many concerns that we need experts like Mr. Zhang to use a professional eye to evaluate the development value of Laoya Mountain and give our leaders a shot in the arm... The subsequent development will be much smoother."

Zhang Mucheng smiled and did not comment for a moment.

Lin Xiao added: "Mr. Zhang, I know this is a sudden event, and it is normal for you to have concerns. But what I want to say is that seeing is believing, and I am very confident about the environment and resource conditions of Laoya Mountain! I sincerely invite you to visit our Chaobai Town!
"If you like it, it would be our honor! If you don't like it after seeing it, that's okay too. Just think of it as me hosting an old friend in my home. If you have the chance in the future, please support the development of Guijia Group!"

These words finally made Zhang Mucheng's expression change a little. He looked at Lin Xiao and laughed.

Meng Zhaodong took advantage of the opportunity and said a few words appropriately.

Zhang Mucheng didn't want to refuse the offer, so he nodded and agreed that he would arrange for someone to go to Chaobai Town for an on-site inspection soon.

Only then did Lin Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

He filled the wine glasses and toasted the two of them again and again.

At night, Lin Xiao did not stay here, but took a taxi back to the city and went to Han Xixi's apartment.

I drank a bit too much at night.

When he was still one turn away from the apartment, he felt a little nauseous and got off the car early.

Facing the warm breeze of late spring, the neon lights of high-rise buildings are everywhere, and around me are the taillights of cars speeding off to nowhere.

He walked a little, breathing in and out, and finally his churning stomach calmed down a lot.

"Deng Deng Deng~"

The phone rang with a series of sounds.

He took it out and opened it, and saw that Han Xixi had sent him a lot of photos.

Click on them one by one.

There is her picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, and there is her shadow in the well.

There are endless green fields and a quiet countryside under the afterglow of the sunset.

There is curling smoke rising from the kitchen and buffaloes wallowing in the mud.

There are old people, adults, and children, there are streams, ponds, and insects.

There was a sumptuous dinner and my mother had a stiff smile.

There was also a father who was busy making fire and had no idea that he was in the camera.

There is a dim solitary lamp at the kitchen door.

There is a large field of rapeseed flowers in full bloom.

There is a pitch-black sky with unclear stars.

A peaceful and beautiful life...

Lin Xiao flipped through the photos one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt an unprecedented warmth.

He was surprised to find that he and Xixi had switched positions at this moment.

He was on the streets of the busiest city in the country, looking at what seemed to be an ordinary scene in his memory.

Only at this moment did I know clearly.

What on earth am I living for in this life?
