Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 196 195. The informer appears?
After Lin Xiao's unremitting efforts, all the work related to the development of rural tourism in Chaobai Town was finally put on the right track.

The renovation of the old village of Jiajia Village is proceeding in an orderly manner.

This time, Ding Honghui showed the same attitude as when he started his business in his early years. He personally took charge of the site, pushed forward the progress of the project, and worked very hard according to the plan.

During the construction process, there was also trouble caused by villagers.

It is not appropriate to say that they were causing trouble, because the people who came were the dozen or so people who went to the town to petition two days ago. They might have known that they were not in the right place, so they just gathered at the construction site to gossip, but did not dare to hinder the start of the project.

Lin Xiao did not show up at all. Deputy town mayor Jia Minglu and the village director of Jiajia Village quickly dealt with the group of people.

The project progressed smoothly and was completed three months later.

In addition to the project in Jiajia Village.

Xiaguan Village is another focus of the town’s rural transformation this year. The project was successfully put online on Friday and the bidding process began.

Xiaguan Village was identified by Lin Xiao as another important location for the development of rural tourism in Chaobai Town.

Compared with Jiajia Village, Xiaguan Village required a larger investment in renovation, with the initial construction cost being 640 million yuan, nearly twice that of Jiajia Village.

Logically speaking, the area and population of Xiaguan Village are far smaller than those of Jiajia Village.

The investment in transformation should be even less.

But this is not the case.

There are many historical factors that are difficult for outsiders to explain.

In short, Jiajia Village has a deputy mayor like Jia Minglu, and there are several capable people holding important positions in the county and city, so various policy preferences and financial support are inevitable.

Therefore, although Jiajia Village does not have the best geographical location, the environment and infrastructure construction within the village are very good.

This is why the historical evolution of each village is similar and the ancient houses are all in the same style.

But only Jiajia Village has successfully preserved a group of ancient Hui-style houses to this day.

In other villages, these ancient houses are either not organized in a systematic way, or are dilapidated, or have long been demolished and new houses built.

Almost all the villagers of Jiajia Village left their old houses thirty years ago, and every household moved into new buildings.

In this way, the old house was successfully preserved.

Jiajia Village currently has a registered population of 5000, of which only about 3000 live in the village permanently. The extra 2000 people are the "connections" that other villages envy.

The value of the four words "luxuriant branches and leaves" in the countryside can only be deeply understood by those who live on this land.

Because of these four words, Jiajia Village has already enjoyed wave after wave of priority in various rural improvement and renovation projects.

There is basically nothing to change now.

If Lin Xiao had not taken a fancy to this old house and planned to develop the ancient village into tourism, this renovation project could have skipped Jiajia Village.

It doesn’t cost much money to transform nature.

In comparison, although Xiaguan Village is not large in area and has a small population, its transformation requires comprehensive upgrades to the entire village, which requires a much larger amount of funds.

The task of renovating this village is also a project that Lin Xiao is more concerned about.

Fortunately, after his persistent madness in the town for some time, no one dared to ask him to smooth things over and openly collude in bidding.

When he was working with Honghui Construction, he even pretended to test Ding Honghui: "Boss Ding, can you also take over the Xiaguan Village rural reconstruction project?"

Ding Honghui has been tortured by him so much recently that he is about to suffer from PTSD.

Hearing his words, Mr. Ding was so frightened that his face twitched: "Mayor Lin, I would like to do it, but the renovation of Jiajia Village is tight, and I don't have enough manpower, so you should ask someone else..."

Lin Xiao smiled but said nothing.

He knew that Ding Honghui was lying.

This type of project usually recruits workers after winning the bid, and the company has very limited manpower to mobilize.

Honghui Construction is also a well-known construction company in Anyang County.

If you can't even take on two projects worth a combined total of just over 1000 million yuan at the same time, then there's no point in working in this industry. You'd better go home and take care of your kids as soon as possible.

However, Lin Xiao was even happier because he could tell that Ding Honghui was making an excuse.

This meant that his recent madness had finally paid off, and these evildoers had finally realized that he was a difficult person to serve, and that it was not easy to make money from him.

This is exactly the effect Lin Xiao wants.

This time, the bidding work was finally carried out smoothly, legally and in compliance with regulations.

Of course, this does not guarantee peace of mind.

The so-called "existence is reasonable" is the reason why there are so many bid rigging and collusion nowadays. Even someone as upright as Qin Zhenggang will habitually interfere with the results of project bidding and choose local familiar companies as the winning bidder.

It can be seen that the existence of this process is not entirely an exchange of interests, but has objective necessity and reasons.

To put it bluntly, the companies recruited from outside are not necessarily high-quality, worry-free, and easy to use. On the contrary, the companies that are familiar to us, although small in scale and average in qualifications, are obedient and sensible and can guarantee the minimum quality of the project.

that's enough.

Because of these considerations, this bidding system is ineffective and only local companies are recruited.

After the bidding for Jiajia Village, Lin Xiao also realized this. After working with Honghui Construction for a while, he began to change his opinion of the experience of his predecessors and even found it a bit "really attractive".

Because Ding Honghui is too obedient!
Mr. Ding is so sensible that even though he knows that Lin Xiao’s request is unreasonable, he still goes ahead and completes it.

Of course, this is due to the power of Lin Xiao’s “Iron-faced King of Hell” character.

But no matter what, Lin Xiao was very satisfied with the result. If it were a foreign company, they might not buy into your tricks and would just quit.

As a result, the re-bidding process will be delayed by another month, greatly affecting the progress of the project.

There is no such concern when choosing a local business.

No matter how tough Lin Xiao was, Ding Honghui didn't dare to quit, because as soon as he quit, the whole county would soon know that Honghui Construction was unreliable, and even the county leaders would be dissatisfied with him, instead of thinking that Lin Xiao was nitpicking and deliberately making trouble.

As a result, Honghui Construction can no longer survive in Anyang County.

Considering this, Ding Honghui has to complete this project well even if he has to grit his teeth.

Where's Lin Xiao?

After experiencing the benefits of local enterprises, he no longer clings to large enterprises and companies.

The reason why the Xiaguan Village project still has to go through the public bidding process is purely to save trouble and not to get involved in those shady dealings.

Since even Honghui Architecture can be controlled.

No matter what company he recruits, he is sure that he can let the company quickly promote the construction project according to his own ideas, and make sure that the rural tourism construction project in Chaobai Town can achieve initial results and form a scale before the National Day holiday, and usher in a surge in tourists.

There are less than four months left until National Day.

Judging from the current progress, this goal is still very likely to be achieved.

The only prerequisite for completion is that Lin Xiao can still sit in this position until National Day.

Because of his recent character as the “Iron-faced King of Hell”.

Whenever Lin Xiao appeared in the town, the cadres treated him with unprecedented respect. Even Jia Minglu, who had always been at odds with him, began to smile at him for no apparent reason and called him "Xiao'er" all the time, which made his scalp tingle.

I originally thought that my character was well established and it saved me a lot of interpersonal communication costs.

As a result, within two days, he was summoned for a talk by the town mayor Qin Zhenggang.

In the office, the two sat opposite each other.

"Lin Xiao, is there anything going on at home recently?" Qin Zhenggang asked straight to the point.

"Why does Qin Zhen ask that?"

Lin Xiao had already guessed Qin Zhenggang's intention of the meeting, but pretended not to know.

Qin Zhenggang smiled and said, "It's just a small talk. Caring about the work and life of team members is also one of my main responsibilities as the mayor. You are the youngest in the team and are responsible for the most important economic development indicators. I am afraid that you are burdened with too much pressure and are embarrassed to talk about it, and then you will force yourself into trouble!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

As the saying goes, listen to what is said and understand what is meant. Qin Zhenggang is not the type to engage in empty talk. This is a very straightforward statement.

What this means is that his recent mood has caused dissatisfaction among town cadres and county leaders. They have great distrust in his ability to shoulder the banner of Chaobai Town's economic work, so they asked Qin Zhenggang, the top leader, to come forward and have a talk with him.

It's called a heart-to-heart talk, but it's actually a warning.

In short: If you can't do it, don't do it!

Lin Xiao also knew that Qin Zhenggang was in a difficult position. Today's conversation was just a routine matter, and he didn't want to make things difficult for him.

So he said directly: "Qin Zhen, today is already June 6th, and the second quarter will soon be over. According to the current economic data statistics, Chaobai Town has increased compared with the first quarter in terms of industrial project arrival, profit-making service industry income, and accommodation and catering industry turnover.

“Qin Zhen, you are an expert and you should know that the second quarter data is usually the worst among the four quarters of the year. However, our Chaobai Town has been able to achieve an increase against the trend, which is enough to prove that the economy of the whole town is growing strongly... Of course, this is not my own achievement. It is inseparable from your leading role and the unity and cooperation of all cadres.

"But if you say that I can't handle economics and am not suitable for this position, then I will definitely be a little dissatisfied!"

When the last sentence came out, Qin Zhenggang's lips trembled and he was very frightened.

What Lin Xiao said just now was really modest.

In recent years, Chaobai Town's economic indicators have always ranked low among all towns in the county, and Qin Zhenggang has always been the mayor, and the cadres in the town have basically not been moved.

Ever since Deputy Mayor Lin Xiao came, all economic data have started to soar like crazy.

Even from the most basic mathematical variable perspective, we know that this is all thanks to Deputy Mayor Lin. Who else dares to take credit for it?
Qin Zhenggang knew all this.

He is not the kind of person who is jealous of others' talents and is very happy to acknowledge the excellence of his subordinates.

So from his point of view, today's conversation was just a formality, so the first thing he asked was "What's going on at home" instead of questioning "What's wrong with you lately".

Who would have thought that this guy was so bloodthirsty that he started to attack right away.

Qin Zhenggang was choked and embarrassed. He slammed the table and said unhappily: "You! Did I say you are not suitable to sit in this position? Others can catch fire as soon as they are lit, but how can you catch fire even without lighting a fire?"

Lin Xiao also knew that his stubborn temper had come back, and he felt that he was being unreasonable, so he just kept silent.

Qin Zhenggang's expression brightened when he saw this.

"Tell me, what happened?" Qin Zhenggang asked.

"Nothing happened!"

"That's bullshit again!"

Qin Zhenggang didn't believe it at all. "It's nothing. You've been so angry lately, and you've always been angry with everyone you see, and you've always been angry with me!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Qin Zhenggang also laughed when he saw this.

The two of them then restored the relaxed atmosphere of "superiors in name but friends regardless of age difference in reality" as before.

Under Qin Zhenggang's questioning, Lin Xiao finally spoke hesitantly: "It's really nothing serious, it's just that my wife is asking for a divorce!"

Qin Zhenggang was stunned for a moment.

Although I guessed that something must be wrong, I didn't guess it was this.

I couldn't help but open my mouth: "Ah?!"

Then I thought of his wife's prominent background, and I was even more surprised.

"Your wife who's a big singer?" he asked with a hint of gossip.

"Ah."

“You wrote a lot of songs for her?”

"Ok!"

"Then why is there a divorce... She got angry and started to dislike you for being a low-level civil servant?"

Qin Zhenggang started from secular ethics, and could only think of this step.
Lin Xiao waved his hands and said, "No... I can't explain it in a few words, but it's a bit contradictory, and the main reason is me!"

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak directly, Qin Zhenggang did not ask any more questions.

From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, I can only teach him many ways for couples to get along with each other and help him solve the problem as much as possible.

Lin Xiao listened to it all.

Although I know it is of little use, I am still grateful for his advice.

So he said calmly, "I understand. Thank you, Qin Zhen!"

Qin Zhenggang didn't say much, and continued: "I can understand that you are in a bad mood, but I still have to say one thing, try not to bring your emotions in life to work. I didn't want to talk to you about this, but your situation has even attracted the attention of the county leaders, so... do you understand?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

"Got it. I'll be more careful next time!" he replied calmly.

"Can you really pay attention?"

Qin Zhenggang didn't believe it at all based on his tone.

Lin Xiao grinned and said, "I'll try my best!"

Qin Zhenggang: “…”

Forget it, it’s all in vain today!

Qin Zhenggang could understand it. He just wanted to go through the motions today anyway!
Now that we have finished talking, I have fulfilled my responsibilities as the leader. If the county leaders are still not satisfied, let them go and talk to Deputy Mayor Lin themselves. That will definitely be an exciting scene.

Qin Zhenggang is a little looking forward to it!
……

On Saturday, Lin Xiao took two cadres from the tourism special team to visit a special pottery museum called "Iron Ceramics" in Haicheng.

This ceramic art museum has been very popular online recently, and has produced many currently popular joint creations, such as the Fengshen series of ceramic figures, which have caught up with the recent Fengshen craze in theaters, and the valuable ceramic figures are also selling very well.

Of course, the reason why this pottery museum is so popular is not only because it keeps up with the trends and has high sales of figures.

The unique pottery making experience course has made pottery break away from the stereotype of "only children play with it", and has attracted the attention of young people. The pottery experience course sells very well.

Currently, this brand has opened branches in the four first-tier cities.

Lin Xiao just wanted to package and operate Xiaguan Village's ceramics industry and create a major feature of Chaobai Town's rural tourism, so he thought of visiting this "Iron Porcelain" ceramics museum.

If we could convince this brand to move into Xiaguan Village, that would be a permanent solution and the best thing that could happen.

The brand name itself is eye-catching enough to attract a large number of urban young people to come and check it out.

After all, it should be said or not.

As a second-tier city, young people in Ninghai are always slow to catch up with trends. Often, when the popularity of first-tier cities is about to die down, it will appear again in second- and third-tier cities.

Now the "Iron Ci" Ceramics Museum is very popular in Haicheng and has opened branches in first-tier cities.

Lin Xiao estimated that if he could really convince this brand to open a branch in Xiaguan Village, then by the time the store was built, the craze in first-tier cities would almost be over, and then Ninghai would be popular, and young people would naturally smell the heat and come!

It’s hard not to think about it!
Of course, Lin Xiao also knew that it was almost impossible to persuade Tieci to open a branch in a rural area.

So his main purpose in coming to inspect this time was to learn.

At worst, we can copy the model and create a "fake" in Xiaguancun. If it is operated properly, it will still attract young people.

Don’t ask, asking is for reference!

Therefore, this investigation is imperative.

The group arrived in Haicheng on Friday night.

On Saturday, several people transformed themselves into tourists and appeared in the Iron and Porcelain Ceramics Museum.

It’s a small store, but it’s very popular.

The store was packed with stylishly dressed men and women, mostly in pairs, making it look like a "new place for love."

Lin Xiao and his friends waited in line for an hour before they were qualified to enter the store.

After the experience, Lin Xiao has a pretty good understanding of the store's operating model and style concept.

I wanted to talk to my boss.

But when I asked the store clerk, I learned that the founder was not there, so I had to give up.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already afternoon.

The scheduled itinerary for the business trip is one day, and we should return this afternoon.

But...it's not easy to come out.

Leng Tao secretly probed: "Lin Zhen, it's already four o'clock. The earliest we can take the high-speed train is seven o'clock, and we will arrive in the county at ten o'clock...Are you going back today?"

Sun Simiao next to him also looked expectant.

Lin Xiao is also a young man, how could he not know what they are thinking.

"It's quite late, so why don't you come back tomorrow?" he asked.

"Ok, Ok!"

"Will it delay your weekend?"

"No delay, no delay!"

"Then remember to buy your tickets in advance. Don't be like now, when you are about to leave without buying your tickets!"

"..."

The two looked embarrassed, realizing that their little tricks had been seen through. They had decided to leave today when they came.

These two people haven't bought the tickets until now, isn't it just to delay for another day so that they can take the opportunity to stroll around the Bund and experience the prosperity of Haicheng?
Lin Xiao understood and didn’t want to spoil the fun, so he readily agreed.

Back to the hotel.

After asking their leader, the two of them went out together.

Lin Xiao didn't know how many times he had come to Haicheng. He was in no mood to go out for a walk, so he stayed in the hotel alone to organize the results of today's investigation.

As I was busying myself, looking at the bright lights outside the hotel, I couldn't help but wonder: Will Xixi be in Haicheng?

Then my mind went completely astray.

"She has been recording 'Sounds of Life' in Star City on Tuesdays lately, and she got it on Monday!"

"At this rate, I probably won't be in Haicheng on Saturdays and Sundays. It's most convenient to leave from Ninghai's home!"

“But…”

"She said she would calm down for a month. In order to avoid being questioned by her mother-in-law, she will probably not live at home."

"Then it is most likely that he lives in his own apartment in Haicheng when he is not recording the show!"

Lin Xiao made rational inferences and, with the help of telepathy, was certain that his wife was in Haicheng now.

Subconsciously I wanted to contact her.

But when he thought about how the girl had told him seriously last time that she wanted to separate and calm down for a month.

The enthusiasm that rose in his heart subsided in an instant.

I feel inexplicably irritated.

"I don't really want to see my wife. Who can't live alone?"

"We agreed to a one-month period. If I contact her in advance, not only will I lose face, but it will also seem like I'm not keeping my word!"

“But…”

"I'll post a circle of friends and locate it in Haicheng. Is that okay?"

"If she saw it and couldn't help but contact me...it wouldn't be my fault!"

The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

He did it right away, took out his phone immediately, made up a complaint about having to go on a business trip on the weekend, and then posted it on his Moments with the location.

To make this circle of friends more credible.

He also deliberately did not set it to be visible only to Han Xixi. After all, they both have a lot of friends in common, and it would seem too fake to set it like that.

So I chose to publish it publicly.

As soon as the circle of friends was posted, he became restless and started to pay attention to the comments and likes every few seconds.

The first person to comment was Cao Yuanzhi.

[Cao: Why didn't you come to see me when you came to Haicheng? What does it mean to look down on me, senior?]

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

This is the effect he wants, because Cao Yuanzhi is now the deputy director of Feihong Entertainment’s music department and is one of his and Han Xixi’s mutual friends.

The two of them chatted back and forth for quite a while.

During this period, comments and likes from all sides began to appear crazily.

Lin Xiao replied with two sentences at first.

But when the number of likes exceeded thirty and the comments could not fit on one interface, he began to get annoyed.

Because there is no familiar avatar, no “Xixibuxixi”.

This suddenly made him feel very boring, and even childish. How could an old man like him still do such ridiculous things as spreading his tail like a peacock and exposing his butt to seek attention?

He shook his head and deleted the post on WeChat Moments.

I dropped my phone and prepared to take a shower.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

He jumped over and picked up the phone hoping to see the note "Wife".

Then the emotion on his face dropped—the call was from an unfamiliar number.

He didn't want to answer the call at first, but when he saw the caller ID was Haicheng, he thought about it and decided to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, you're in Haicheng?"

A familiar, gentle, and somewhat evil laugh came over.

Lin Xiao frowned and quickly identified the other person's true identity: Jiang Xueying!
He was immediately surprised and confused.

Because the two of them don’t have WeChat!

He had added her before, but Lin Xiao deleted her after they broke up. After all, they were destined to have nothing to do with each other in the future.

The only thing that revealed my itinerary today was the post I just made on WeChat Moments.

Jiang Xueying called him right after he deleted the message. This coincidence in time made Lin Xiao certain that she must have seen the post on WeChat Moments and then determined that he was in Haicheng, and that’s why she called him.

But now, Lin Xiao has no time to think about these things.

Just ask: "How do you know?"

"Of course I saw your circle of friends!" Jiang Xueying said bluntly, her tone bold but a little frivolous.

"How can you see my Moments?"

"You're not some top-secret person, why can't I see your circle of friends?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless. This woman was very good at Tai Chi and it seemed like he couldn't get the truth out of her.

"Why are you calling me?" he asked again.

"Of course I'm playing host and treating you to a meal!"

"You invite me to dinner?"

Lin Xiao laughed.

Jiang Xueying also laughed: "Why, am I not worthy of inviting you to dinner?"

Lin Xiao said: "Let's not talk about whether we are suitable for each other. Do you think we are suitable to have dinner together?"

Jiang Xueying chuckled and said, "Why is it inappropriate?"

Lin Xiao was speechless, not knowing whether this woman was really stupid or just pretending.

But on second thought, this guy can achieve his current status in the entertainment industry at the age of less than 30, so he definitely can't be really stupid.

Then you can only play dumb!

"You are a big star and I am an ordinary person. Aren't you afraid of being exposed if you have dinner with me?" Lin Xiao asked.

"I'm not afraid!"

Jiang Xueying said calmly, "I'm a divorced woman, and now there are so many scandals flying around. Who should I be afraid of? It's you, Mr. Ma Yao, Han Xixi's husband, who has so many buffs on his body, you're the one afraid of being exposed, right?"

Lin Xiao smacked his lips, speechless.

You guessed it right!

"You knew I was scared, yet you still called me to invite me to dinner?"

"Who said that eating out would definitely be exposed? You and your wife have never eaten out? I don't think it's been exposed, so you did a good job of keeping it secret!"

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless. He always knew that this woman was eloquent and had great skills in talking.

So he cut the Gordian knot and said, "Forget it. I'm married now, and it's not appropriate for me to have dinner alone with the opposite sex, especially since you're my so-called 'ex-girlfriend'. Thank you for your kindness. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this time, Jiang Xueying raised her voice and said, "Don't hang up yet! Don't you want to hear the real reason why I invited you to dinner?"

Lin Xiao paused after hanging up the phone.

To be honest, he was indeed curious.

The two have not been in touch for many years since they separated from college.

The last time they contacted each other, Han Xixi was caught up in the hot search of "inappropriate relationship with Ma Yao". Jiang Xueying, as "Ma Yao's first love girlfriend", came out to clarify.

Afterwards, Jiang Xueying called to take credit. This was the first time the two had contacted each other in six years.

Speaking of that time, Jiang Xueying had a legitimate reason to contact him.

But this time, it was really inexplicable.

Lin Xiao was also confused and indeed curious.

I couldn't help but ask, "The real reason? What?"

There was laughter on the other end of the phone, a bell-like laughter with a bit of the charm of a nightingale.

After a moment, she said, "Which reason do you want to hear, public or private?"

Lin Xiao was even more surprised.

"Do you have both public and private reasons?"

"Of course!"

"..."

Lin Xiao always felt that she was playing tricks on him, but when he thought about it, it wasn't the case.

Although this woman is worldly and realistic, she always values ​​time and will not waste it on unnecessary people or things.

It's impossible that after all these years she would suddenly find him funny and call him specifically to play a trick on him.

So when she said there were two reasons, maybe there were!
"Let the public speak first?" he said.

"Mr. Yu, did you go to the Iron and Porcelain Museum for inspection today?"

Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I own a cultural investment company. This pottery museum was opened with the money invested by my company. I'm the big boss!"

Lin Xiao was shocked.

"Aren't you an actor? When did you start a company? And an investment company that has nothing to do with the film and television industry?"

"Hey, are you concerned about me?"

"..."

"Haha, it's not me who opened it. It was my ex-husband who opened it. He gave it to me after we divorced!" Jiang Xueying said with a smile.

"..."

This works too!
Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "You came all the way here to investigate. You actually want to discuss cooperation and let the Iron Porcelain Pottery Museum open a branch in your shabby town, right?"

This condescending tone made Lin Xiao roll his eyes.

But when I think about Jiang Xueying's personality, there is no need to argue with her.

So I replied directly: "Yes, Boss Jiang, is that okay?"

Jiang Xueying smiled crisply: "No!"

Lin Xiao: “…”

My lungs are really about to explode.

"No, you've been talking nonsense to me for so long!"

"Hey, is this your attitude of asking for help?" Jiang Xueying laughed charmingly.

"I'm too lazy to beg you! Tell me, what's the other reason?"

Lin Xiao speeded up the process.

Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "Of course I want to rekindle our old relationship with you!"

Lin Xiao: “…”

I know that you can’t spit out ivory from a dog’s mouth!

"Sorry, I'm married, bye!"

Just hang up the phone and cut off the "ah ah" sound from the other end of the phone.

The world returned to peace.

Jiang Xueying had some self-awareness and didn't call again.

Lin Xiao could finally take a bath in peace.

Then, just as I got to the bathroom, I heard the phone outside ringing again. It was the unique notification tone of WeChat.

He rushed out again.

When I opened my phone, I saw that the message was not from "Xixibuxixi" but from a person named "Diaoyuhanjiangxuedu" (alone fishing in the cold river in the snow) with a photo of a snowy scene as his profile picture.

Lin Xiao frowned: "Who is this? When did I add him?"

No impression at all.

I was too lazy to delve into it at the moment, so I clicked on it to read the content, and my eyes suddenly widened.

[Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow: You are a married person, are you about to get divorced now? ]

Lin Xiao frowned suddenly and was shocked.

Only the two parties involved knew about the affair between him and Han Xixi, not even their parents knew.

Who is this guy and how does he know these things?

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little creepy!

The more I studied this account, the more familiar it became.

"Fishing alone in the cold river snow... Jiang Xue... Jiang Xueying?!"

His eyes widened.

Thinking back to the phone call from Jiang Xueying just now, and before hanging up, I rejected her invitation to dinner on the grounds of being "married".

It is related to the word order of this sentence on WeChat.

Then I thought, I posted on WeChat Moments revealing that I was in Haicheng, and Jiang Xueying didn’t have his WeChat, so how could she know?
Now, who said she doesn’t have her own WeChat?

Although I deleted her at the beginning, I never changed my WeChat. As long as I had his phone number, I could just change his number and find a good reason to add him back.

For example, this one “Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow”.

Lin Xiao couldn't remember when he added this number and he had never spoken to this person.

This information is linked together.

He was already certain that this was Jiang Xueying! !
This discovery surprised him so much that he felt as if he had been watched and plotted against for a long time, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

At the same time, he thought of something else.

That is, Han Xixi knew that he was the photographer of the "sponsor photo" through a phone call.

Lin Xiao never tried to trace the source of the call.

Because he roughly concluded that the matter was leaked from Zhang Peng.

As for how the message got from Zhang Peng to his wife Jia Xiaoqian, and then through the network of relationships to Xixi, Lin Xiao didn't know, but he was sure that the message was accessible, because all roads lead to Rome.

But now that I think about it, my inference was a bit taken for granted!

There are so many people in Ninghai.

It’s not that easy to transmit the message from Zhang Peng to Han Xixi!

So when this news was exposed, it might not be the case that there were others!
Now it seems that Jiang Xueying's decisive question just solved the problem that Lin Xiao had been thinking about for many days.

Perhaps, this marriage crisis of his was not necessarily caused by his brother Zhang Peng unintentionally, but was deliberately set on fire by some people with ulterior motives.

For example, this ex-girlfriend who suddenly appeared.

Although Lin Xiao didn't understand her intention, he had a vague guess.

Now that things have come to this, if I don’t ask her for clarification, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.
