Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 173 172. Brother, speed up

Lin Xiao grabbed Han Xixi's pigtail and asked her for a long time what she had just said.

But Xixi refused to admit it and hung up the video with a red face.

If you call it again, it will shut down.

Lin Xiao is so funny: This is the bad thing about long-distance relationships. I can’t argue with my wife even if I want to. I can’t do anything serious with my wife either even if I want to.

He could only hope to get through this period quickly and deal with the serious matters with Xixi.

Two days after the May Day holiday, I continue to be busy.

Thanks to Han Xixi's recommendation on the "Singer" stage, the number of tourists in Chaobai Town continues to rise. Fortunately, these guests are basically locals from Ninghai who traveled to Yizhou and happened to pass through Anyang County on their way back.

Although these people flocked to Chaobai Town, they only went to Laoya Mountain for a stroll, coming in the morning and leaving in the afternoon, and did not stay overnight in the town.

Therefore, there was no situation where people were unable to book a room and had to live on the streets.

However, it is true that the restaurants in the town are packed every day at noon and in the evening. Even the Nanshi Snack Street has all the vendors on duty and is crowded every day.

This is just enough to fill the tourists' stomachs.

To say that the food is delicious is definitely impossible.

The May Day holiday is over.

On May 6, the cadres came to work, and they all looked exhausted.

Qin Zhenggang instructed all the deputy mayors to coordinate and arrange staggered holidays for everyone, otherwise they would not be able to bear it.

As the top leader.

All Qin Zhenggang can give is vacation. This is not a company, and he can't give overtime pay for concentrated overtime work.

The cadres are resting, but the leaders still have to go to work.

Moreover, the post-holiday inventory and summary is more important than the busyness of the holiday.

The team members held a meeting for the whole morning to analyze the Laoyashan explosion in the past five days and came to several conclusions.

Let’s start with the good stuff:

First, Laoya Mountain became extremely popular and its reputation spread completely, and the corresponding "Guan Zhenshan's old case" was completely buried, and almost no tourists mentioned it.

Now, when the entire internet mentions Laoya Mountain, people only say that it is the place where Han Xixi and Yu Anan traveled together, and they won't bring it up with some trivial matter from more than ten years ago.

Even if tourists come and hear about this old story, they can only curl their lips and sigh, "So that's how it is," and nothing else.

Second, the development of Laoyashan will be possible.

The popularity on the Internet and the May Day holiday have attracted many real estate companies and tourism development companies, except Guijia Group, to come to Laoyashan for inspection. It is only a matter of time before the scenic spot is developed and a resort hotel is built.

Third, the town’s ancient villages, kilns and natural landscapes have also been recognized by many tourists, laying a good foundation for subsequent development.

Of course, the five-day explosion also exposed many problems.

First, the hardware facilities are poor. The transportation, accommodation, and catering are far from keeping up with the number and demands of tourists. There were many complaints from tourists during the holiday. Fortunately, volunteers coordinated and handled the situation in a timely manner, so no major disturbances were caused.

Second, Laoya Mountain has not been developed and there are safety issues.

Third, the planning of rural tourism attractions still has a long way to go before it can truly receive tourists, generate profits, and drive employment.

In general.

The popularity during the May Day holiday can be said to be "losing money to gain publicity."

At most, the town made some money for food and hotels, and many vendors at the foot of Laoya Mountain earned 1,800 yuan. This amount of profit was far less than the energy invested by all the cadres for five whole days.

But because the incident happened suddenly.

Lin Xiao made everyone mentally prepared from the beginning. The goal of these few days was not to make Chaobai Town a popular tourist attraction overnight.

It’s just three words: No accidents!

Fortunately, this goal was achieved.

As for the various problems that have erupted in the past few days, it is not a bad thing. It just helps Lin Xiao update and improve the tourism development plan of Chaobai Town, so that subsequent work can be promoted more smoothly.

This busy period lasted another half month.

The development of Laoya Mountain has officially been put on track, and is divided into two parts: hot spring hotel development and Laoya Mountain scenic area planning.

The development of the hot spring resort hotel was finally won by Guijia Group after bidding, and the land selling price was nearly double the intended price reached on the eve of May Day.

This piece of land is sold.

On average, each household in Shangguan Village received more than 20 yuan, and the county suddenly gained more than 1 million yuan in fiscal revenue. 30% of this huge sum of money was eventually transferred into Chaobai Town’s account for the development of rural tourism in the town.

It can be said to be a triple win.

Of course, there is also a risk here, which is to strictly prevent the villagers of Xiaguan Village from causing trouble.

After all, the scene of the fight between the villagers of the two passes during the Qingming Festival is still vivid in people's minds. As the "instigator", Lin Xiao was implicated and forced to "suspend his duties".

He was determined not to allow this to happen again.

Fortunately, times have changed and the situation is different now.

The former village director of Xiaguan Village, Guan Aiming, has been dismissed from his post. The current village director, Guan Xiaofeng, is a man with ideas and thoughts.

He carefully read the pottery industry development project in Xiaguan Village in Chaobai Town's tourism development plan, and felt that the benefits it would bring to the villagers would not be worse than the land sale in Shangguan Village.

After all, selling land is a one-time transaction, but once rural tourism and pottery industries are developed, it will benefit all villagers in the long run.

Guan Xiaofeng started working with the villagers half a month in advance.

After the last site selection incident for the Benda Group's parts factory, Lin Xiao's feint in Xiaguan Village had a strong deterrent effect on the villagers.

Of course, it was the group’s intention that Benda Group finally chose Dengjia Village to build its factory.

Lin Xiaoke did not deliberately seek revenge.

He had only guessed early on that the Benda Group would take a fancy to the location of Dengjia Village, so he took them to Xiaguan Village for a tour to give these villagers who hated others and laughed at others for not having them a warning: if they dared to cause trouble for no reason again, the town would never consider Xiaguan Village again if there was any good thing going on.

I have to say that this play was very effective.

In addition, the holidays were over and the young and middle-aged people were all working outside, so even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't.

So the hot springs in Shangguancun were sold very smoothly without any accidents throughout the process.

With the Guijia Group as a foundation, the development of Laoyashan is a natural thing, and several tourism development companies are in the process of connecting with it.

However, Chaobai Town and the County Cultural and Tourism Bureau held several meetings.

In the end, it was decided that instead of making a one-time deal, the town would develop the mountain on its own and turn Laoya Mountain into a long-term meal ticket for the town.

Qin Zhenggang did not make this decision on impulse.

After all, it was the county that allocated the funds from the land sale. Now that their pockets are full and their backs are strong, they naturally dare to think about things they did not dare to think about before.

This is easy to handle.

The next step is to select a travel planning company to package Laoya Mountain as a whole, and then the town will invest in upgrading the hardware and software facilities to make Laoya Mountain a landmark tourist attraction in Chaobai Town.

As the executive deputy leader of the tourism development task force, Lin Xiao is fully responsible for promoting this work.

This busyness is so intense that there is no peace or rest.

……

Lin Xiao took half a month to digest the enthusiasm of the May Day holiday.

Han Xixi is no less busy. She has been very busy these days, trying to work out the reversal in reputation after her performance as a queen on "Singer".

During the interview, she responded to the incident of bringing Yu Anan to Laoyashan for a trip and rescuing her from injury.

The result of her response was that her reputation reversed, while Yu Anan was deeply criticized.

Of course, Yu Anan would not admit it easily. She would make excuses openly and spread rumors secretly, trying to throw the dirty water back.

But the fact that Han Xixi's hand injury existed was an ironclad fact.

Netizens had preconceived ideas and approved of her heroic act of saving the beauty, so it was naturally difficult for them to believe Yu Anan's sophistry.

In addition, after this girl became more famous due to the hit drama "Night Wind Blooms", she was targeted by other young actresses of the same period, and all kinds of negative news about her were exposed.

In contrast.

The counterattack launched by Han Xixi was not a fatal blow.

For several days, Yu Anan was caught up in various scandals and her fame and popularity plummeted.

Han Xixi, on the other hand, took steady steps and took on several popular variety shows, being a regular on one and a guest on several others, which kept him busy for quite a while.

September 5th, Saturday.

It has been almost a month since we last met.

Lin Xiao finally sorted out the work at hand and drove to Jiangcheng to see his wife. Xixi had an offline event to attend here today.

It was already 11am when we landed.

He checked into a room at the hotel where Xixi was staying according to the address given by his assistant Chen Jiajia.

The recording will not be finished until the evening.

Lin Xiao found a place to eat at noon, walked around in the afternoon, and came to the outside of the event venue when it was getting dark, waiting to greet his wife whom he had not seen for many days.

He dressed up specially today.

His face was much rougher than before, and there was no way to restore it urgently. He could only work on his hairstyle and clothes, and after some sprucing up, he looked clean and tough.

I bought a bouquet of roses in advance.

This time I didn’t write a card. I gave it to my wife personally to ensure that there would be no misunderstandings.

After waiting outside the venue for half an hour, Chen Jiajia sent a message saying that the performance was over.

Lin Xiao was actually a little nervous.

These days, although I video, call, and WeChat with Han Xixi every day, the connection established through the Internet is definitely different from meeting in person.

Lin Xiao now feels even more timid as he is getting closer to home.

Waited for about ten minutes.

A black nanny car stopped next to his car. Han Xixi got out of the car fully armed and sat in his passenger seat like a transferred agent.

The two looked at each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one said anything.

Lin Xiao quickly started the car and merged into the traffic of Jiangcheng.

The car drove for several minutes.

The awkward atmosphere in the car increased instead of decreasing.

Han Xixi didn't dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her head to play with her phone, trying hard to stay calm.

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he freed his left hand and pinched her palm.

The transfer of this warmth quickly brought the relationship between the two people to a familiar distance.

The light is red and the car stops steadily.

Lin Xiao took the roses from the back seat and handed them to her: "For you, my dear wife~"

He laughed.

Han Xixi's eyes lit up with surprise, and she rarely corrected his address, her fair face smiling brightly.

"Thank you, brother~" she said.

After saying this, Lin Xiao saw her face. She was obviously much thinner, and her baby fat face had become a "V" shape.

He frowned, feeling inexplicably distressed.

"You must not have eaten well these days?" he asked.

"Well...too busy!"

Han Xixi nodded guiltily and said, "Besides, I've been flying around so much that I'm not used to eating outside, so..."

Lin Xiao nodded and held her fingers tightly.

"Brother will take you to eat delicious food!" he said.

Han Xixi smiled with her starry eyes and said in a playful voice: "Okay~"

Lin Xiao found the restaurant in the afternoon. It is located in the core area of ​​Jiangcheng, a private restaurant opened in a private villa.

The private room was booked in advance.

The two got out of the car, Lin Xiao led the way, and Han Xixi followed behind fully armed.

Now the cooperation is very tacit.

A table full of sumptuous hot dishes was served one after another. Han Xixi drooled as he watched. He closed the door and began to feast on the food.

After all the chit-chat we had along the way.

Han Xixi had completely gotten over the stiffness she had felt after not seeing each other for a month, and now she completely let go. She used chopsticks and fork together, with her cheeks puffed out, not looking like a female star at all.

Lin Xiao saw through it but didn't say anything. Seeing her eating so happily, his appetite also whetted.

So the only sound heard in the private room was the sound of chewing. No one even bothered to talk. If they had to say anything, the most they could say was "this is delicious," "this is also delicious," and various interjections of praise.

Half an hour later, the two began to chat while eating, saying some meaningless nonsense.

After paying the bill, I walked out of the restaurant and returned to the car.

It was already eight o'clock.

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiao asked.

He tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, his eyes fell on Xixi's slender swan neck, and he swallowed imperceptibly.

I was thinking, what should I do to get the job done without appearing to be the reason for this?

He was a little worried.

Han Xixi was completely unaware of his little thoughts. She was still immersed in the sweet atmosphere of reuniting with her boyfriend after a long separation, bubbling with excitement.

"The commercial street is just ahead, let's go for a walk!" Xixi said with a gleam in her eyes.

Lin Xiao glanced ahead and saw bright lights.

I lowered my head and thought, it would be a good idea to take a walk, digest the food, and then go back to the room for a snack.

They readily agreed, and both put on masks and walked there hand in hand.

The commercial street on Saturday was crowded with people and brightly lit, just like daytime.

Han Xixi was in high spirits when he first came, but became a little scared when he saw the crowd. He tied one of Lin Xiao's arms the whole time before he dared to move forward.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a crossroads.

There is always someone singing in the square outside the shopping mall. Today it was a young man with a crew cut, who was singing and playing the guitar, and even setting up equipment to broadcast live.

The two stopped and listened for a while.

"It sounds pretty nice!" Xixi commented with a smile.

"Does it sound good?"

Lin Xiao frowned and said pertinently, "It's very average, far inferior to you."

Han Xixi smiled with her starry eyes, neither admitting nor denying, and continued to admire with interest. Not far away, there was an old man selling hydrogen balloons, a large bundle of colorful balloons floating in the air, and from time to time, young couples passed by and were cheated out of twenty or thirty yuan.

Lin Xiao looked at the balloon swaying in the air and suddenly thought of something.

At this time, the young man in front of him finished a song, and the onlookers applauded. Han Xixi also clapped excitedly, even more excited than when he was singing himself.

The young man then said: "I've been singing all night and I'm a little tired. Are there any friends here who like to sing? Come over and try. I have all kinds of accompaniments..."

After introducing them around, no one dared to come forward.

Lin Xiao glanced at Han Xixi's starry eyes and pushed away the hands that were tightly hugging his left arm.

Han Xixi looked at him puzzledly, then watched him push through the crowd and walk towards the center.

Xixi widened her eyes, and was a little flustered for a moment, and adjusted the mask to put it on.

In the center of the crowd.

The singing boy looked at Lin Xiao, surprised and amazed: "Let's applaud this handsome guy, okay?"

Lin Xiao has already stood in the camera area of ​​the live broadcast phone.

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and many people were cheering. Han Xixi hid in the crowd, very confused.

"Handsome guy, what song do you want to sing?" asked the singing boy, ready to find an accompaniment for him.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "You may not have the song I want to sing!"

The young man shook his head proudly: "Don't worry, as long as you can tell me, I can definitely find the accompaniment!"

Lin Xiao nodded: "The song I want to sing is called "Confession Balloon"!"

As soon as these four words came out, the singing boy was stunned.

"'Confession Balloon'? What song is that and who sang it? Why don't I remember it?"

“I wrote it myself!”

Lin Xiao said.

When these words came out, not only the young man, but all the passers-by present were stunned.

Including Han Xixi who was hiding in the crowd.

She pondered the title of the song and suddenly understood why he suddenly went to sing. Her eyes were filled with stars and she was filled with anticipation.

in the crowd.

The young man with a crew cut looked happy again. At Lin Xiao's request, he lent him his guitar and helped him adjust the camera and microphone.

Lin Xiao plucked the strings and looked at the bustling crowd around him, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

Although I joined the guitar club in college, it was still my first experience to sing in front of so many people.

However, for my wife, I'm going to give it a try today.

This girl got together with me without thinking, and all my principles were defeated. Even her normal wish of having a romantic and formal confession of love was no longer pursued because of the constant troubles and the fact that we were apart more often than we were together.

Lin Xiao felt a little ashamed and couldn't bear to ask her to have a relationship without any sense of ceremony.

So I came up with this big move.

He took a deep breath into the microphone and said, "This song is dedicated to my girlfriend. We are each other's first love, and we got together by chance, and we have never officially confessed our love. I am not romantic, and there are some things I can't say, so I wrote a song, hoping that she can understand my feelings."

As soon as he finished speaking, passers-by applauded wildly.

No one had high expectations for hearing original love songs while walking on the street, but one had to join in the excitement of such a public confession.

In the crowd, Han Xixi stood still.

Before I even heard Lin Xiao sing, my eyes were already red. At this moment, I had automatically blocked out the noise in my ears and was wholeheartedly looking forward to Lin Xiao's next performance.

Paused for a few seconds.

Lin Xiao's fingers swept across the strings, and a simple and light melody rang out at the intersection.

“Coffee on the Left Bank of the Seine
I'll taste your beauty with a cup in my hand
Mouth that leaves a lip mark
Flower Shop Roses
Whose name is wrong?

Confession balloon
The wind blows across the street

Smiles fly in the sky
You said you are a bit difficult to chase

Want me to quit before the difficulties
Don’t choose the most expensive gift

Just the fallen leaves of the Champs Elysees

Create a romantic date
not afraid to screw everything up

With you, I have the whole world

Dear, I love you
since that day
Sweet and easy
My dear, don't be willful

your eyes
Saying I am willing..."

The smooth melody spreads and the light singing soars.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

The guy with a crew cut standing next to Lin Xiao looked like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he looked completely incredulous.

I just heard this guy say he wrote a song.

He was in a complete mood to watch a joke and was ready to have his ears poisoned.

Writing songs? No kidding!
If it were that easy, I would have become a well-known original singer long ago. Would I still need to do live singing on the streets?

However, the guy with the crew cut had no idea that the song "Confession Balloon" would have a bright melody, light rhythm, and the singer's voice would be leisurely and full of sweetness.

Although the guitar accompaniment is a bit monotonous.

But he could tell that the arrangement of the entire song was very complete and it was not at all the doodle work of a music lover.

The guy with the crew cut was stunned. At that moment, he began to have great doubts about the musical dream he had been pursuing.

"No, anyone can write a song, so what's the point of me persisting for so many years?!"

He roared internally.

In contrast, the onlookers did not know so much about music theory and just thought it sounded nice.

So in just one minute, the number of passers-by gathered at the intersection more than doubled, and they surrounded the old man selling balloons in three layers, pushing him aside.

Lin Xiao sang the second verse again.

When the song came to the part where the wind blew the confession balloon across the street, a couple's balloons happened to fly up into the sky.

This was so appropriate that it caused exclamations from the audience and people spontaneously applauded.

The song is over.

There was thunderous applause and the crowd shouted, "One more song!!!"

Lin Xiao waved his hands repeatedly.

Glancing at the live broadcast interface on the phone, the number of people online has soared from a dozen at the beginning to nearly two hundred.

He quickly turned his face away.

I thought it was too dangerous. If I sang one more song, I would become really famous.

He quickly returned the guitar to its owner, then slipped into the crowd under the gaze of the crowd, holding Han Xixi's hand and leaving quickly.

The two walked for more than ten minutes before they completely left the bustle in the distance behind.

Xixi kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao thought that he had just left her alone and made her angry.

He quickly apologized and vowed not to do it again.

Xixi just nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Lin Xiao was helpless, feeling that his spur of the moment confession tonight had backfired.

I just walked to the parking lot and it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xiao suggested going back to the hotel, and Han Xixi did not refuse.

Speechless all the way.

I parked the car in the parking lot and sent Xixi to the door of her room.

Lin Xiao waved and left.

Han Xixi then looked up, still holding the bouquet of beautiful roses in her hand, and looked at him delicately.

"Brother...where are you going?" she said.

"I, I'm going back to my room!"

Lin Xiao said.

Han Xixi said "Oh" somewhat dejectedly and stood there without moving.

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and realized some possibilities.

There was no point in standing at the door and chatting, so the two of them went into the room.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hands and put his arms around her waist. The rose was pressed between them, emitting a faint fragrance.

"I shouldn't have left you there alone tonight. I won't do that again. Please forgive your brother, okay?" Lin Xiao said seriously.

Thinking about it now, this surprise was indeed quite scary.

There are so many people at the scene. If anyone recognizes Xixi, it will be a hot topic on the search list tonight.

It's normal for her to be angry.

However, Xixi pursed her lips and whispered, "I... I'm not angry..."

Lin Xiao was surprised.

"Then why didn't you say anything? I thought you were mad at me!"

"I... don't know what to say!"

Xixi lowered her head and spoke in a lingering tone.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Xiao felt so hot all over that he bent down and kissed her.

Han Xixi quickly dodged, and suddenly ran into the room laughing, holding a rose in her hand and smiling brightly.

"You crushed my rose, will you compensate me?" Xixi looked proud, but still couldn't help blushing.

Lin Xiao finally understood what it meant to be more beautiful than flowers.

He could no longer suppress the urge in his heart, and he pounced on the rose like a hungry tiger, snatched it in his hand, and held it high.

Han Xixi immediately became anxious: "This is mine, give it back to me!"

Lin Xiao threatened proudly: "Call me husband and I will give it to you!"

Han Xixi bit her lower lip, her face flushed and her expression stubborn.

"You... give it back to me!!"

She jumped several times while screaming, but she almost succeeded. During this process, Lin Xiao kissed her several times.

Han Xixi was furious.

Seeing Lin Xiao standing at the end of the bed, she climbed directly onto the bed and threw herself on Lin Xiao's back.

Go grab that bouquet of roses.

This sudden change made Lin Xiao lose his balance. He tripped and fell onto the bed, lying on his back.

Han Xixi landed first on his back.

At this moment, he didn't care about whether his posture was elegant or not. He quickly stood up, took a big step forward, sat on Lin Xiao and snatched the rose away.

"Bring it to you!!"

She shouted excitedly, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with this action.

The long hair fell and swept across Lin Xiao's cheek, making him feel itchy.

The noisy air immediately quieted down, and bright red petals were scattered all over the bed.

Han Xixi checked the bouquet in her hand, and slowly realized that something was wrong.

The temperature soared as their eyes met.

The air paused for several seconds.

Han Xixi's ears had already turned red, and he pursed his lips and clenched his fists, making countless small movements.

After a long time, she hurriedly tried to go down.

However, just as she moved, Lin Xiao suddenly sat up, put one hand around her waist and the other hand around her arm, easily holding her tightly.

"After teasing me, you want to run away?"

He smiled cunningly and touched her lips in revenge.

Han Xixi's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head with an itchy throat: "Who... who wants to run away..."

Lin Xiao's heart melted when he saw her shy look.

I have endured it for so long, but now I can't bear it anymore.

The feet on the ground and the right hand around her waist exerted force together, directly picked up Xixi by the waist, and the two of them rotated 180 degrees in the air at the same time.

The position where the woman was on top and the man was on the bottom just now was immediately reversed.

Lin Xiao supported the edge of the bed with his left hand and gently placed her on the soft bed, his eyes full of tenderness.

Han Xixi was frightened by this sudden aerial ballet and screamed.

After calming down, Lin Xiao pressed his lips down again with a strong sense of aggression.

Han Xixi tried hard to respond, her breathing became rapid and her eyes became a little blurry.

After a long time, Lin Xiao let go of her, and his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously.

"Xixi." He whispered.

"Um……"

"Is today considered a confession?" he asked.

Han Xixi's whole body turned red and she didn't dare to look at him. Her long hair was scattered all over the bed, dotted with rose petals.

She said nothing, but stretched out her index finger and drew circles on his chest, again and again.

Lin Xiao's head was about to explode. He grabbed her teasing fingers and insisted on asking for clarification: "Han Xixi, think about it carefully. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!"

Xixi didn't dare to move again.

It took a long time to muster up the courage before she raised her eyes and looked straight at him.

She stood up and smacked him hard on the lips.

Then, she spoke from the depths of her throat, pleading: "Brother...speed up!"
