Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 54 54. Han Xixi takes the initiative
Lin Xiao was taken to his deputy mayor's office.

Ever since he walked into the town government compound, various people have been looking at him, speculating, discussing, and whispering along the way. From his age, appearance, background and other angles, they all quickly came to a conclusion - this man would not stay in the town for long.

Lin Xiao also knew that for a deputy mayor, he was a little too young and too handsome.

We can only accept everyone's prejudices.

After waiting in the office for nearly two hours, the office staff came to inform him that the mayor had returned and went to the conference room for a meeting.

Lin Xiao straightened the collar of his shirt and walked forward steadily.

The conference room was packed with people.

Although it is only a township at the department level, it is still a first-level government, and it has all the necessary facilities despite its small size.

Under the town mayor Qin Zhenggang, there are three deputy town mayors, as well as more than a dozen departments including the Party Office, Propaganda, Discipline Inspection, Agriculture, Forestry, Water Conservancy, etc., as well as the village party secretaries of 16 administrative villages, and the directors of seven or eight dispatched agencies such as the police station, judicial office, and tax office, a total of more than people.

When Lin Xiao saw this scene, he was shocked.

Fortunately, I have seen many big scenes in my past and present lives, so my expression remains calm.

However, compared with the majesty of the municipal government and the uprightness of the county government.

Although there are many people here, the atmosphere is very relaxed, even a little casual.

Before the mayor Qin Zhenggang came in, everyone was chatting about their own things and dressed casually. Lin Xiao, wearing a shirt and trousers, looked very different, like a child who had stolen adult clothes.

Although there were many people attending the meeting, the agenda was very simple.

Qin Zhenggang first read out the importance of the "Young Seedling Program" according to the county party committee's document, and then asked Lin Xiao to introduce himself, which took no more than ten minutes in total.

Lin Xiao hadn't even warmed up his chair when he heard Qin Zhenggang announce the adjournment of the meeting, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

In his previous unit, he was a member of the team meeting attendee, and the meetings usually lasted at least two hours.

At one point I thought that was the norm within the system.

Now that he had arrived in Chaobai Town, he was surprised to find that administrative efficiency could be so high.

I felt so emotional for a moment.

After the meeting, another team meeting was held immediately.

Qin Zhenggang introduced the other three deputy mayors, the organization committee member, the propaganda committee member, the discipline inspection committee member, etc.

"Let's not make any major adjustments to the division of labor for now. Xiaolin, you will take over the responsibilities that Deputy Mayor Zhang used to be in charge of, including safety, environmental protection, and comprehensive law enforcement. Then you can take over publicity. You studied Chinese, so you should be able to handle publicity well. It will also help relieve some of the pressure on Deputy Mayor Jia Bo, who is in charge of the economy and has a heavy burden!"

Qin Zhenggang finished making the arrangements and asked, "What do you think?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Lin Xiao had just arrived, so it was even less likely that he would have any objections.

"Okay, that's it, meeting adjourned!"

……

Lin Xiao returned to his office. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The deputy mayor Zhang that Qin Zheng just mentioned is his predecessor, who was transferred to the county last month.

This was the office he used to work in.

In other words, it was not necessarily an accident that Lin Xiao was assigned to Chaobai Town, but rather there was indeed a vacancy here.

After the meeting, Lin Xiao got to know the people in the office.

Deputy Town Mayor Zhang also came from the county party committee, saying it was for training, but he left after less than half a year.

He also understood why everyone in the meeting room looked at him with distrust. He probably thought that he and Deputy Mayor Zhang were of the same kind, coming to the town just to go through the motions and would leave within half a year.

He had no way to explain this groundless speculation and could only let it go.

The division of responsibilities has now been determined.

Lin Xiao didn't care what everyone thought and directly gathered the relevant staff together. He didn't give them a lecture to establish his authority, but asked everyone for some materials related to Chaobai Town, and then sat in the office to read them carefully.

This one glance shows that it’s time to get off work.

The cadres were leaving get off work one after another. Zhou Baoping, the town's propaganda committee member, passed by his office and saw him studying hard through the crack in the door. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door.

"Lin Zhen, aren't you leaving yet?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before he realized that "Lin Zhen" was calling him.

He was a little uncomfortable with it and subconsciously wanted him to stop calling him that, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

It's not that he wants to put on airs.

Instead, when you are in a position, you must establish your authority. It is okay to get along well with the people below you, but if you cannot distinguish between superiors and subordinates, and the level of authority, then it will be very difficult to carry out the work in the future!

He nodded: "In a moment, you go first!"

Zhou Baoping was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: You are quite good at pretending, young man. I want to see how long you can pretend!
He despised her in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he went to the office and brought some cooked chestnuts and instant noodles. "Lin Zhen, you can eat something if you're hungry!" Zhou Baoping said.

"Okay, thanks!"

He responded readily, generously and frankly.

This attitude made Zhou Baoping unable to cope with it for a moment, so he nodded and left.

Lin Xiao continued to look at the materials.

I don’t know how much time had passed before I felt hungry. I looked up and found that it was dark outside.

He got up, boiled a pot of water and prepared instant noodles.

At this time, a WeChat message came in from "Xixibuxixi": [Are you off work? ]

Lin Xiao was a little surprised: It seems that the big star is not busy recently, and the frequency of looking for him has obviously increased!

He tapped the screen to reply.

[Lin: Not yet, I’m still looking at the materials.]

Put down your phone and make some noodles.

Just as I closed the lid, my cell phone rang. It turned out to be a video call from Han Xixi.

Lin Xiao was stunned.

The two have been on WeChat for two months. They have chatted and made voice calls, but this is the first time they have video chatted.

He was somewhat surprised by Han Xixi's "initiative" and subconsciously felt that something big had happened.

Get through quickly.

In the video, Han Xixi is wearing fluffy home clothes and should be in her apartment.

Meeting Lin Xiao in this way, her expression was a little unnatural and she didn't dare to look directly into the camera.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"No, no!"

Han Xixi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I want to see your work environment... I'm afraid my mom will ask about it later!"

"what?!"

Lin Xiao never expected this to be the reason. His slightly anxious heart finally settled down and he smiled with relief.

He switched the camera, held up his phone and scanned the office, then switched back.

"Look, what do you think?"

"It's OK. It's an independent office... Are you eating instant noodles?"

Han Xixi's attention was attracted by the instant noodles in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously: "Yes! Today is my first day here, and I don't have anything to eat. This is given to me by a colleague. Just one bite will do."

"Oh……"

Han Xixi's tone was a little disappointed, and he asked again, "Is there only instant noodles?"

Lin Xiao grabbed the chestnut next to him: "And this!"

Han Xixi's eyes sparkled.

"Sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"This seems to be boiled, not fried with sugar... Do you like chestnuts?"

"Like it!"

Han Xixi laughed, but pursed her lips pitifully, "But chestnuts are high in calories, and my agent doesn't allow me to eat them..."

Lin Xiao laughed.

"I'll bring some to you next time I go back to Ninghai! The chestnuts from our Chaobai Town are famous throughout the province!"

"Okay!"

Han Xixi agreed sweetly.

The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous.

Both of them realized this and their expressions became unnatural.

Han Xixi hurriedly said: "Then eat, I won't disturb you... go home early!"

Lin Xiao smiled: "Okay!"
