Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 40 40. A piece of cake

I heard Lin Xiao pat his chest and promise that he would take care of the salary deduction issue.

Zhou Xiuping didn't believe it at first. After all, although her son was an excellent person, it was impossible for him to give orders to the boss of a steamed bun factory.

Lin Xiao knew that if he didn't give his mother a reassurance today, she would be grumbling all night.

So I could only say, "Mom, have you forgotten that I told you last time that I was on a blind date with our leader's daughter?"

Zhou Xiuping became excited when she heard it, and even her father Lin Jianping, who was watching the game, pricked up his ears.

"Yeah, how are you getting along with girls?"

"Not bad! The girl's mother is the top leader in our unit. Guess what rank the girl's father is?"

"How can we guess?" Zhou Xiuping was silent, and she obviously felt that even thinking about such a high-ranking official was an insult.

Lin Xiao said vividly: "It's not convenient for me to say anything else. I can only tell you that he works in the provincial government!"

When Zhou Xiuping and Lin Jianping heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at each other in surprise.

Lin Xiao said seriously: "This is my future father-in-law. I visited his home last time and he likes me very much. I want to ask him to pass a message to our county magistrate. Do you think your factory dares to deduct your salary?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiuping's face was already full of excitement, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.

But on second thought, she became anxious again.

"It's inappropriate to trouble such a big leader for such a small matter like mine, right?"

"Whether it's suitable or not, aren't you the one who keeps nagging about it?"

"No more, no more!"

Zhou Xiuping waved her hands repeatedly, "Xiaoxiao, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the hospital for an X-ray tomorrow. Don't ask them for help for such a small matter. It's not worth it. I'll have to get my salary back later. If the boss thinks that you have such a pair of incompetent and fussy parents, it's not enough trouble and they won't marry their daughter to you... Then I'll be so sorry for you..."

As Zhou Xiuping spoke, tears were about to come out and her face was full of self-blame.

Lin Xiao was shocked.

He had never thought of looking for Han Haijun.

I brought him out just to scare my mother and make her feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, this triggered such emotion in her, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, my mother finally agreed to go to the hospital tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Lin Jianping went to work at the construction site as usual, while Lin Xiao took his mother to the hospital in a taxi.

After a round of examinations at the hospital, it was confirmed that Zhou Xiuping's waist was accidentally stretched and her ligaments were sprained. She just needed to rest at home for a few days to be fine.

He prescribed some ointment and let me go home.

The doctor especially advised not to do physical work in the next few days. When Zhou Xiuping heard this, she knew that she would not be able to go to work in the factory for the next few days and her entire month's salary would be gone.

She felt even more upset.

At this time, the manager of the factory suddenly called her and said, "Lao Zhou, your waist is injured, right? I have consulted with the factory director. You fell off your electric bike on the way home from work. It is considered a work-related injury. The factory will subsidize you 3000 yuan. You should have a good rest these few days. This month's piecework wages will be paid normally. Don't worry!"

Zhou Xiuping was stunned and couldn't believe it was true.

After hanging up the phone, he asked his son: "Xiaoxiao, you called the girl's family after all? Didn't I tell you not to contact them? How embarrassing..."

Zhou Xiuping was almost crying out of anxiety.

"I didn't look for anyone, and I'm not stupid!" Lin Xiao was speechless.

"That factory..."

"I did look for someone, but it wasn't my future father-in-law, it was my high school classmate!"

"High school classmate?" "Yes!"

Lin Xiao told the truth, "A classmate of mine in high school is now working as a secretary for the county magistrate in Anyang County. After graduation, he worked in a big city for two years. Later, he wanted to take the civil service exam. Knowing that I had started working after graduation, he added me on WeChat to ask for advice. I helped him pass the exam.

"I called him when you were being examined just now. Although he is only the county magistrate's secretary, all the large and small enterprises in the county have to give him face. Your matter is just a matter of a word to him!"

Zhou Xiuping was stunned when she heard this.

"And this matter... Isn't this a bother for others?"

"What's the trouble?"

Lin Xiao said helplessly, "Even if I didn't help him, we were high school classmates. Now we are both in the system. I am in the provincial capital and he is in the county. We can exchange information more in the future. It is only natural for us to help each other. It's not a bother!"

Zhou Xiuping felt a little dazed as she listened to her son say these words in a calm manner.

Only then did she realize that the little child who had hidden behind her when she encountered wild dogs had now grown into a towering tree that was able to shelter her from the wind and rain.

In an instant, she felt sad and relieved.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

She was very emotional.

……

After returning home, Zhou Xiuping's back injury had improved a lot. She didn't know if it had anything to do with her good mood.

She washed her hands and prepared a big meal for her eldest son who rarely came home.

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and held her down. He went to the kitchen to make a simple lunch and dinner in the evening. His younger brother Lin Yu was now in the second year of high school and lived in the school dormitory. He didn't come home on weekends.

My dad just came back from work and the three of us had dinner together.

At the dinner table, Zhou Xiuping immediately exaggerated the story of her son's extraordinary performance during the day, her pride evident in her expression.

Lin Jianping also looked excited when he heard this, but he couldn't help but sigh.

It was a pleasant meal.

Zhou Xiuping had been holding it in for the whole day, and finally couldn't help asking, "Xiaoxiao, what about the girl you went on a blind date with... Is she a good person?"

Lin Xiao just laughed.

Seeing his mother wanting to ask but not daring to, he knew that he must have scared her when he mentioned Han Haijun's position last night.

As a country girl, my mother had no idea what such high-ranking officials were like.

Based on her imagination alone, she would inevitably associate the only daughter of such a family with an image of being unruly, willful, and difficult to serve.

Don't blame her for thinking so.

Lin Xiao thought so before he met Han Xixi for the first time.

Who would have thought that Han Haijun, a bureau-level leader, and Liu Liyun, a division-level native, could raise a daughter like Han Xixi who is introverted, well-behaved and considerate.

No one would believe it.

At the moment, facing his parents' worries, he smiled and said, "The girl has a good personality, not the kind of arrogant young lady with a nose in the sky..."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Xiao changed the subject and said, "But, she and I don't have any feelings for each other, so you guys are holding on to too high hopes!"

Zhou Xiuping was quite surprised and asked anxiously, "How can I not feel anything? Didn't you say you got along very well last night?"

Lin Xiao sighed: "Getting along well means that we don't dislike each other, but it doesn't mean we can be together. Besides, she is the only daughter of a high-ranking official's family. Why should I, a poor boy from the countryside, be with her?"

After these words were spoken, Zhou Xiuping and Lin Jianping fell silent and sighed at the same time.

After all, they were the ones who held their son back!
