Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 73. Chaobai Town Gathering
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao returned to Anyang County.

After getting off the highway and passing the county town, I wanted to go home to change clothes, but there was no time, so I drove all the way to Chaobai Town despite the fatigue.

When the car stopped in the yard, his legs began to tremble a little - a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time!

"My goodness...what am I planning?"

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, WeChat rang.

【Xixi Bu Xixi: Brother Lin, have you arrived yet? 】

Lin Xiao frowned, suspecting that she had installed a surveillance camera on him.

Unbuckle your seat belt, sit in the car and reply slowly.

[Lin: Just arrived]

[Xi: You must be tired. Have a good rest at night]

【Lin: OK】

Han Xixi replied with a cute bunny emoticon.

Lin Xiao didn't reply.

After handing over the task in the duty room, I returned to the dormitory in the back building.

As soon as I entered the door, Han Xixi’s WeChat message came again.

【Xi: Brother Lin...will you come again next time? 】

Lin Xiao frowned.

This sister, is she trying to tire him to death?!

Before I could figure out how to respond, another message came.

【You can take the high-speed rail or plane】

【This way I won’t be so tired】

[Next time you come, I will treat you to a big meal and take you to see the night view of Haicheng]

[…Is that ok?]

Urgent messages, one after another.

Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the look of fear on her face when she said she was scared last night.

Poor, weak and helpless!
My legs were still sore, but I still softened my heart.

Tap the screen to reply: [OK, when your parents have something to give you, I'll bring it over! ]

Han Xixi was immediately delighted and replied happily.

[Okay~]

At this time, Han Xixi was in the nanny car on her way home, smiling like a fool at her cell phone.

Next to him, the agent was so worried that he was about to have hysterics.

"Han Xixi, are you listening to me?" Zhou Hui raised her voice, her voice already angry.

"Ah, what?!"

"..."

Zhou Hui felt that she was on the verge of exploding.

He suppressed his anger and said patiently, "I suggest you choose the song 'Scars' instead of 'Enemy'!"

Han Xixi was surprised: "Why? Didn't Director Shao say that my performance in singing "Enemy" is better? And the overall quality of this song is also higher than "Scars", it's not that kind of catchy song!"

"I admit that 'Enemy' does sound better!"

Zhou Hui nodded and said seriously, "But don't forget, we have always wanted to downplay your married image. In order to do this, you know how many interviews I pushed for you!"

Han Xixi was silent.

Zhou Hui added: "There was no way for you to get married with that young husband! The company has calculated that 70% of your fans are men! So if you want to make a long-term career in this field, you must weaken the image of being married..."

"Once you sing this song 'Enemy', the media will definitely link this song to your wedding. The host of the Tomato TV New Year's Eve party will definitely keep asking about this point. In this way, all our efforts over the past two months will be wasted!

"So according to what I mean, you should just sing "Scars". It doesn't matter if the song quality is a little bit worse. Your singing skills can save this song to the passing line. You can find a good song later... What do you think?"

Han Xixi remained silent.

She knew that what Sister Hui said was right. That sweet little song was far from her image and temperament since her debut.

If it had been three months earlier, she would never have tried this style of music.

But now, I just inexplicably want to break through.

Now listening to her agent's analysis, she hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.

"Let me think about it..."

Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she knew this girl well enough and knew she would figure it out.

Sweet little song? Stop it!
Han Xixi is not suitable for this sweet style.

Zhou Hui is very sure of her vision.

……

Lin Xiao is in charge of the class tonight.

As the deputy mayor, he is a leader no matter what and does not need to sleep in the duty room.

But he couldn't leave the unit, so at night he lived in a dormitory behind the compound, where he had a small single room.

He didn't sleep very well that night.

Last night in Haicheng, he felt uncomfortable with the heat when he first came into contact with the heating.

But now, when I return to the cold bed, I suddenly feel that being warm is indeed much more comfortable than being cold.

Then I thought about Han Xixi's strange behavior in the past two days.

He couldn't sleep even more.

I tossed and turned in bed and didn't fall asleep until after two o'clock.

The next day at work, I was yawning during the meeting.

"Lin Zhen, are you not used to sleeping on the hard bed in the dormitory?" Deputy Mayor Tu Hui teased him.

"Brother Hui is joking. You're not that delicate!"

He didn't explain why he was yawning, and others were naturally not so tactless as to ask him about it.

After the meeting.

Mayor Qin Zhenggang was about to go to the county again. Before leaving, he suddenly asked Lin Xiao, "What are your plans this morning?"

Lin Xiao was a little surprised, but still said: "I plan to go to the market with Captain Li. Isn't today the market day? The law enforcement team must keep an eye on illegal stalls and businesses occupying the road! I have been in charge of this for half a month. Before, I only listened with my ears, but now I should use my eyes to see it for myself!"

Qin Zhenggang nodded, rarely showing a smile, patted him on the shoulder and left.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

After all, when they first met, Qin Zhenggang's attitude towards him was almost like "disdain" written all over his face.

It's only been half a month and she's already smiling at him.

"Because of the chestnut incident last time? Not really..."

Lin Xiao did not comment.

Go to the market with Li Lei, captain of the law enforcement brigade.

Chaobai Town is divided into two parts, north and south. The south part is newer, having been built gradually in the past ten years.

The north side is older and is home to some old residential areas and old factories. Chaobai Middle School and the unfinished Xuefu Yaju are located here.

The north and south parts are divided by a small river, the Chaobai River.

There is a big market on both the north and south sides, the south one is newly built and the north one is old.

After the south side was built, most of the vendors moved there, and large supermarkets, bakeries, clothing stores and the like opened up in the surrounding area, making the scene bustling and prosperous.

As a result, the north inevitably became desolate.

The original market was transformed into open-air stalls selling wontons, fried noodles and the like. It was quite lively on market days, but inevitably deserted during off-peak hours.

But from the perspective of residential areas and schools, there is nothing wrong with being quieter.

Chaobai Town holds a market on the 2nd, 5th and 8th day of the lunar calendar.

Today is the fifth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, which is the market day.

On market days, all the idle merchants in the town would gather in the town, shoulder to shoulder, making it even more lively than a concert in a big city.

If you are not careful, your feet will be stepped on.

As the number of vendors increases, problems such as illegal stalls and occupying the road begin to emerge, and littering and dumping of dirty water are also common.

This is when the law enforcement team comes in handy.

Although this behavior continues despite repeated bans, the patrolling of uniformed team members can still have a certain deterrent effect.

Most of the vendors are quite cooperative.

Occasionally, if there are some who disobey the rules, they can be shut up after being punished!
Of course, the nature of the law enforcement brigade's work has earned them a lot of criticism behind the scenes.

But we have to do our job even if we are scolded. We have to manage what needs to be done and punish what needs to be punished. Otherwise, the environment in the town will only get worse.

Lin Xiao came from the grassroots, so of course he knows that it is not easy at the grassroots level.

But he remembered what an old leader once said: It’s better to do it than not to do it!

Over the years, he has always followed this as his guiding principle, and now he practices it even more faithfully!
