Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 67 67. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality

As soon as the chestnut sales in Chaobai Town were opened.

A rare smile finally showed on Qin Zhenggang's bitter face.

Before this, he had been unable to eat or sleep for several months because of the unfinished Xuefu Yaju building.

There is a safety meeting on Thursday morning.

Qin Zhenggang finally made a few requests, and suddenly the topic changed to Lin Xiao.

"This time, the chestnut market was opened up thanks to Lin Xiao's good ideas and the good way he found. He is indeed a talent from the provincial capital, full of ideas and drive, and his future is limitless!"

Qin Zhenggang's eyes were full of praise, which was completely different from his cold attitude towards Lin Xiao when they first met.

Lin Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment.

It's not that he couldn't help but be praised, but Mayor Qin was in his forties, and this sticky look really made him feel uncomfortable.

Of course, the one who felt even more uncomfortable was Jia Minglu.

As the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, Lin Xiao solved the chestnut sales problem that had been a problem for more than two months in just two days.

There should be no one in the entire town government compound who is feeling more miserable than him!
Now, in front of so many people, he kept silent.

After finally waiting for the meeting to end, he couldn't bear it any longer and ran to Qin Zhenggang's office to rant.

"Qin Zhen, do you really believe that Lin Xiao opened up the market for chestnuts? He just got lucky and happened to see Han Xixi posting on Weibo, which led to a chestnut cake craze throughout the province... It's weird!"

Jia Minglu was so angry that he almost died!

It's more painful than killing him to let someone else take all the limelight for the work he's in charge of!
Qin Zhenggang actually had doubts about this matter.

He didn't know Han Xixi. He only knew about this person after listening to Jia Bo's report on the causes and consequences of the surge in chestnut powder sales. Only then did he realize that the chestnuts from Chaobai Town were able to be sold smoothly thanks to this local celebrity!
Then he became even more curious!

A star who is far away in the world, who never posted on Weibo early or late, posted on Weibo just after Lin Xiaogang mentioned the sales idea of ​​chestnut powder.

What’s more, the chestnut cake she photographed was the same one that Lin Xiao brought!
It was hard for Qin Zhenggang not to suspect that the "personal relationship" that Lin Xiao mentioned that day was this Han Xixi.

But the thought only lasted for a moment and was done in an instant.

How could a deputy mayor who went to the countryside have a relationship with a popular star?
This is definitely just a coincidence.

But even if it was just a coincidence, Qin Zhenggang still remembered Lin Xiao's favor. After all, the problem of chestnut sales was successfully solved.

Now facing Jia Minglu’s complaints.

He said with a dark face: "Lucky? Why can't you get away?"

Jia Minglu was choked and speechless.

Qin Zhenggang said directly: "I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if Lin Xiao really got in touch with Han Xixi through connections! I only know that the chestnuts that farmers had accumulated have been sold, and the purchase price is not much lower than when they were first put on the market!

"I am very satisfied with this result. So, if you feel aggrieved, then just keep it to yourself and don't come to me to complain. I only have one thing to say, don't target Lin Xiao again. We are a team and we must unite. Do you understand?!"

Qin Zhenggang spoke harshly and showed no mercy.

Jia Minglu was in awe of the mayor from the bottom of his heart, so even though he felt unbalanced, he didn't dare to say a word.

Finally, he could only nod: "Got it, Mayor!"

……

On the other side, Haicheng.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Han Xixi had just finished work and was chatting with Lin Xiao on her cell phone in the nanny car.

After learning that her Weibo post had triggered a "chestnut cake revolution" in Nanzhou Province and successfully helped farmers in Chaobai Town sell more than 30 tons of chestnuts, she finally felt relieved.

Then I felt a little proud.

"I have helped so many people..." She was delighted.

[Lin: You helped me a lot this time, I have to thank you very much! ]

Han Xixi pursed her lips.

She was not the kind of person who liked to take credit, but Lin Xiao's thanks were a little too insincere.

After a moment's hesitation, she replied.

【希：Just thank you verbally [covering mouth and laughing]】

[Lin: Of course not. If you need me, just tell me.] [Lin: I will go through fire and water for you.]

[Xi: No need to go through fire and water...just start a fire!]

【Lin: Open fire?】

【希：Make a delicious meal [squinting smile]】

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Xixi's reply.

Quick reply: [One meal is not enough for... ten meals! ]

Han Xixi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Agent Zhou Hui, who was sitting next to them, heard the noise and glanced over, squinting her eyes with suspicion on her face.

Han Xixi quickly held his breath and concentrated.

The suspicion in Zhou Hui's eyes did not diminish at all, but she did not ask any more questions.

Soon, the nanny car arrived at the apartment.

Zhou Hui followed Han Xixi upstairs - assistant Chen Jiajia had something to do at school these days, so she had to be both an agent and an assistant recently, and was exhausted.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Hui lay down on the sofa.

"By the way, do you still have the chestnut cake that you posted on Weibo?" she suddenly asked.

"Ah...ah?!" Han Xixi was caught off guard.

"Give it to me and let me taste it!"

Zhou Hui looked curious, "I've been asking you to be a foodie, but you refused. But now you're so greedy for a piece of chestnut cake that you post on Weibo... I want to see how delicious it is!"

Han Xixi pursed her lips, totally at a loss for explanation.

I could only bring the remaining chestnut cake and let her take a piece.

Zhou Hui put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully, with a confused expression: "It's nothing special... Is it exciting enough to post on Weibo?"

Han Xixi smiled softly and said, "Everyone has different tastes, that's normal!"

She actually felt guilty when she said this.

But his face was calm, without any clues.

Zhou Hui didn't think much about it.

After swallowing the chestnut cake, she said seriously, "By the way, have you listened to the new song demo sent by the music department?"

When this was mentioned, Han Xixi's expression became serious.

"I heard..."

"You don't like it?" Zhou Hui had guessed it long ago.

Han Xixi didn't hide it and nodded.

"I guessed it would be like this. Don't tell me, I don't like it either!"

Zhou Hui sighed and added, "But there is nothing we can do! Nowadays, there are not many good songs. When a few songs pop up, they have to be selected by big-name singers first. Only after the rest are selected can it be the turn of newcomers like you.

"But there just happens to be an iron emperor in front of you. All the songs that the company collected in the first half of the year that were slightly outstanding were put into Yan Na's album. The rest is a pile of garbage, and no matter how hard you try, you can't find anything good - this song is a sweet song, Yan Na doesn't like it, so it slipped to you..."

Zhou Hui said this with a very unhappy look on her face.

After a long while, she said, "Wait a little longer. I'm also contacting musicians in the circle to see if I can get you a good song... Even if it's not as good as "Human World", it can't be too far behind. If it can't meet the expectations of netizens, it's better not to release it!"

Han Xixi thought so too.

It’s not that he wants to consolidate his popularity, but he simply adheres to the principle of being better off having nothing than having something less than perfect.

but.

After releasing the song "Human World", even she herself feels that the standards for whether a song is mediocre or not are getting higher and higher!
Even the songs that Yan Na had on the new song charts, she actually felt were pretty average.

"So, this is what they call going from luxury to frugality?!"
