Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 165 164. Lin Xiao: Who said I don’t hold grudges? (Second update, please subscribe)

Monday, October 4.

Lin Xiao followed Concubine Xi's steps back to the palace and went back to work.

While he was having breakfast in the cafeteria, the cadres passing by were all surprised to see him, but then quickly put on a smile and greeted him.

The sound of "Lin Zhen" sounded no different from usual.

But Lin Xiao could clearly sense the difference.

The fact that he was summoned for questioning and then "suspended" last week could not be kept secret in the town.

In the past few days, the cadres may have been discussing him in private. Even Jia Kai called him to inquire about the situation.

Lin Xiao said it was okay, but Jia Kai still didn't believe it.

I lowered my voice and asked him, "Are you still hiding this from me? Tell me the truth, how much did you take?"

Lin Xiao: “…”

The word "拿" is very magical.

It took him a long time to persuade Jia Kai to believe that he was innocent.

Even Jia Kai thought so, not to mention other cadres in the town.

However, this matter cannot be explained.

After all, his "suspension" was just a verbal notification from Qin Zhenggang, and there was no official document, so naturally there would be no serious follow-up.

Now, Lin Xiao goes to work like this.

The cadres would not think he was innocent. They would only speculate that he had a powerful backer, which was why he was able to return to his post so quickly after committing a crime.

Lin Xiao couldn't explain it clearly even though he talked a lot.

I can only comfort myself with the words of Han Xixi’s grandmother - just do good things and don’t worry about the future.

……

Team meeting in the morning.

There was a young man with a round face and a white shirt in the conference room, which made Lin Xiao's return not so noticeable.

Qin Zhenggang introduced: "This is Comrade Qiao Xuyang. After the county's decision, Comrade Xuyang will officially join the Chaobai Town team as deputy mayor from today. Everyone, welcome him with applause!"

There was applause in the conference room.

Qiao Xuyang introduced himself. He was not very old, only 33 years old.

Compared with Lin Xiao, he is nothing, but in the township team with an average age of 40, he is considered young and promising.

It is said that the former deputy mayor Jia Bo had been transferred to the county trade union before the Lunar New Year. The team of Chaobai Town has always been short of one person, and it should have been filled long ago.

But government agencies have always been like this. Understaffing or understaffing is the norm, while full or overstaffing is abnormal.

To put it bluntly, it’s because of the tight financial situation.

One more deputy mayor means an extra salary, so everyone should just make do with what they can.

This is not only the case in Chaobai Town, but also in other towns as well.

Everyone is doing the work of several people, so there is nothing much to say.

But Lin Xiao was sitting in the conference room, listening to the new deputy mayor introduce himself, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It didn't come earlier or later, but just happened to come when I was "suspended from work".

Isn't this clearly telling all cadres that there is indeed a problem with this deputy mayor and he won't be in office for long, so a deputy mayor was urgently sent to take over the job?

Lin Xiao thought about it and felt that this matter was really strange. He suspected that Qiao Xuyang's arrival was a warning from the county leaders to him.

What it means is: There is nothing wrong with you, but if you continue to be restless, you can be transferred away at any time!

After realizing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is indeed easy to understand the truth, but difficult to comfort yourself.

I just sincerely wanted to do something, but the people below didn't understand and the leaders above didn't support me.

After all the hard work, I didn't get anything done and ended up complaining.

Lin Xiao: Who did I offend?

After Qiao Xuyang introduced himself, he immediately discussed the issue of adjusting the division of labor within the team.

Adjustment is also simple.

Lin Xiao and Jia Minglu have taken over some of the work previously done by Deputy Mayor Jia Bo.

Now, Lin Xiao is only responsible for economy and publicity, Jia Minglu is also responsible for agriculture, and other aspects such as environmental protection, safety, and comprehensive law enforcement are under the charge of Qiao Xuyang.

It is equivalent to Lin Xiao taking over Jia Bo's original job, and Qiao Xuyang taking over Lin Xiao's original job.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised by this.

I thought that after what happened last time, the county would no longer let him be in charge of finances, but would let him continue to do his original job.

Lin Xiao was a little speechless.

He guessed that it was his achievements in economic work in recent months that made the leaders reluctant to give up on him as a talent, and they were still waiting for him to continue contributing to the economic development of Chaobai Town and Anyang County.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What is this? They gave me a warning and asked me to continue to be responsible for key tasks... Is this what you call having both?"

After the meeting, he went straight to Qin Zhenggang's office.

After what happened at Laoya Mountain last week, the two of them became closer as partners, and Qin Zhenggang became the only person in the town who knew that Lin Xiao had married a famous star.

Lin Xiao spoke frankly and asked why he was still in charge of the economy.

Qin Zhenggang is a straightforward person and is not good at playing tricks.

So despite trying to conceal it, it was soon revealed that the county leaders did see his potential in attracting investment, but they also felt that he was too bold in his actions and too unconventional in his thinking.

I want him to achieve something, but I'm also worried that he might cause trouble.

This is how the current arrangement came about.

Lin Xiao had his guess, but he didn't think anything of it. Instead, he felt that the organization's arrangement was very reliable.

So he said, "Qin Zhen, I have negotiated a new project during my few days of rest and I want to report to you."

These words really stunned Qin Zhenggang.

After a while, a surprised smile appeared on his rough face.

"Sit down, sit down and talk!"

Qin Zhenggang pointed at the chair and asked quickly, "What project?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's still the project of the Benda Group! Hasn't the Benda Group already decided to build a production base in the Ninghai High-tech Industrial Park?"

Qin Zhenggang nodded and waited for him to continue with interest.

Lin Xiao said calmly, "I was the one who contacted Benda Group in the beginning. Although the production base was not built here due to various reasons such as our industrial supporting facilities and transportation environment, we still have a share of credit after all. I can't let my work be in vain!
“So, taking advantage of the few days of vacation, I shamelessly found Meng Zhaodong, the vice president of Benda Group, and asked them to at least set up some business in our Chaobai Town. I can’t let myself get away with all this and end up serving others.

"This Meng Zhaodong is my senior in college, and he's quite reliable. The Benda Group also gained a lot from this cooperation, so they remembered my help and finally agreed to build an auto parts factory in Chaobai Town. The land area should be about 70 to 80 mu, which can provide 400 jobs. The land transfer fee plus the annual output value can easily equal a ceramic factory!"

Qin Zhenggang's face brightened up after hearing these words, and in the end he couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Lin Xiao, you are really... I knew I was right about you! You are a natural born economist. You don't even take time off during your vacation and you just casually recruited such a big project!"

Qin Zhenggang praised him happily, and finally sighed inexplicably: "To be honest, I feel sorry for you about the Laoyashan incident. No matter what, your starting point is for the economic development of Chaobai Town. It's the county leaders who care too much about their own titles and dare not... Forget it, forget it, it's all in the past. You have a bright future in the future!"

The last sentence is very meaningful.

Lin Xiao smiled sincerely and felt at peace with himself.

He knew how the project of the Benda Group Parts Factory came about. It was not that complicated. In fact, it was Meng Zhaodong who took the initiative to offer it to him. He did not make any effort at all. If it were in the past, he would definitely tell the truth.

But now, he feels that he can no longer be so "straightforward".

So he added some exaggerations and vivid descriptions, showing off all his contributions before telling the final results.

The project is still the same project.

But in Qin Zhenggang's eyes, his contribution was completely different.

Admittedly, Lin Xiao didn't want to play such tricks on Qin Zhen, but when it came to the county leaders, he had to learn the skill of flattering himself.

present.

After Qin Zhenggang calmed down, he smiled and said, "Then Qin Zhen, I will contact the Benda Group as soon as possible and invite them to inspect the site and finalize this project as soon as possible?"

Qin Zhenggang nodded: "Okay, you are fully responsible!"

After getting permission, Lin Xiao got up and left without staying any longer.

Qin Zhenggang looked at his back with a very complicated expression, including admiration, envy, and regret.

But these emotions were fleeting.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: This kid's future prospects will probably be higher than he can even imagine.

……

Lin Xiao moved quickly.

After replying to Meng Zhaodong, Benda Group quickly arranged people to visit Chaobai Town.

Because the cooperation plan to build a production base in Ninghai has been finalized, Benda Group registered a branch in Ninghai half a month ago, and a number of responsible persons are in place.

The construction and production of the accessories factory is an important part of the production base.

Without spare parts, no cars can leave the factory, let alone be sold to the outside world.

Therefore, the parts factory must be completed and put into operation even before the production base is built.

Time is still very tight.

So Lin Xiaogang got in touch with Meng Zhaodong, and two days later, Liao Xuefeng, the head of the Ninghai branch of Benda Group, brought his team to Chaobai Town for inspection.

Lin Xiao chose Xiaguan Village as the first stop of his inspection - the same Xiaguan Village where people fought, gathered to petition, and reported him for evil deeds.

Because of the commotion a few days ago, this village has become famous in the town. It is no exaggeration to say that it is notorious.

But the villagers didn't care at all.

Anyway, for them, it doesn’t matter whether they can gain any advantage by making such a fuss. As long as they prevent Shangguancun from selling Laoyashan and getting a share of the money, they will be satisfied.

Typical of hating people who have something and laughing at people who don’t.

Lin Xiaoke was too lazy to argue with them. The number one requirement for the Benda Group to build a parts factory was that it had to be close to the highway entrance and exit so that the parts could be transported to the Ninghai production base dozens of kilometers away as quickly as possible.

The villages that meet this condition are Xiaguan Village and Dengjia Village.

The two villages are located on both sides of the planned highway entrance and exit route.

Among them, Xiaguan Village is backed by a clay mine. After decades of digging, a bare piece of land has been formed behind the village, which is the most suitable place to build a factory.

It is reasonable for Lin Xiao to set the first stop of the inspection here.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Accompanied by Lin Xiao, the inspection team arrived at Xiaguan Village in three vehicles, and accompanied by the new village director Guan Xiaofeng, they toured the village.

This trip attracted the attention of men, women and children from all over the village.

Soon the village was abuzz with discussions.

"What are these people here for? Are they going to develop our place?"

"I asked Xiaofeng, and he said he wants to build a factory here!"

“Is it true that we can build a factory here?”

"Why not? The highway exit is under construction and it's so close to our village. It's very suitable to set up a factory here."

"Then there's money to be made from selling the land?"

"Nonsense, of course there is money, every household can get a share!"

"Oh, there's such a good thing!"

"What's good about that? This won't work. If it does, my name will be written backwards!" said an older middle-aged man.

His name is Guan Shundong. He is of a high generation and half of the people in the village call him "Second Uncle". He has a son named Guan Lei, who works as a credit manager at a bank in Ninghai after graduating from university.

Guan Shundong's words carry a lot of weight in the village, so everyone is willing to listen to him - except for the last fight in Shangguan Village.

He was strongly opposed to that matter at that time.

But the younger generation was impulsive and passionate, and would not listen to his advice at all. They went to Shangguan Village with shovels and hoes in a rage.

Seeing that he couldn't stop his son, he could only drag his son back home and pretend to be deaf and dumb about what happened afterwards.

Now hearing him pour cold water on them, many people gathered around.

"Why wouldn't it work? Didn't they bring people here to investigate?"

"Inspection?"

Guan Shundong sighed, "Do you know who is the leader of the team?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Guan Shundong said, "This is Deputy Mayor Lin of the town. He was the one who said he wanted to develop Laoya Mountain. Guan Aiming, who was dismissed as village director, went to the county to complain, smearing Deputy Mayor Lin for taking dirty money... Tell me, if this happened to you, would you still think of Xiaguan Village when you want to develop and sell land in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, several people looked panicked and stopped talking.

In fact, during the last fight and petition, most people in the village did not have the chance to express their opinions. Once Guan Aiming took the lead and a few young people shouted a few words, everyone else had no choice but to follow suit.

In fact, I still feel scared when I think about it afterwards.

After all, the village didn't gain any benefit from this incident, but instead offended the town leaders.

If there is anything good in the future, will we still think of Xiaguan Village?
Everyone felt the same way.

Today, when I saw the town team coming to inspect, I felt that I might have worried too much. The leaders are magnanimous and have broad vision. They will not take revenge just because the villagers are ignorant and cause trouble. They will not think of Xiaguan Village when there is good news.

But now, after Uncle Guan's analysis, no one dared to speak, thinking that they were too blindly optimistic.

After the inspection team left, everyone dispersed.

After two days of waiting.

On Friday, village director Guan Xiaofeng returned from a meeting in town, sighing.

A passing villager asked, "Xiaofeng, what happened? Why do you look like that?"

Guan Xiaofeng got angry when he saw this man.

Because the old man's name was Guan Kugen, the uncle of the previous village director Guan Aiming, and his two sons were among those who started the trouble.

Guan Xiaofeng said angrily: "What is this? What is this? It's a great thing! The company that came to investigate the site last time has set up its factory in Dengjia Village. From now on, our village can keep farming until we die! If there is any good news, the town will no longer think about our village!"

As he spoke, he glared at Guan Kugen more angrily: "Your family is all powerful, those of you are bosses outside, those of you are doing business, you are living a good life, but all the villagers have been killed by you, and they can only eat dirt from now on!!"

Having said this, he glared at the old man angrily and walked away with a sigh.

Guan Kugen was scolded for no apparent reason.

"What a weird thing, why is it coming to me?!"
