I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 154 "Being an official isn't easy either."

Fang Qingye replied with a smile, "Yes, we're going fishing. County Chief Miao, Secretary Li, don't you take weekends off either?"

"What rest? From now on, everyone in the command center, including me, will not have weekends off!" Miao Hongbin said.

"Hard."

Upon seeing the county head and town leaders approach, Wang Lei quickly greeted them respectfully, then said to Fang Qingye, "Yezi, I'm off to work. Let's chat later." With that, he hurried off to the group of people he had just met.

"That was my high school classmate, Wang Lei. He was transferred from Panlong Township to the command center and is currently handling land acquisition and demolition. We exchanged a few words," Fang Qingye quickly introduced.

Miao Hongbin said "Oh," glanced at Wang Lei's back, and then smiled at Fang Qingye, saying, "Go fishing, I won't bother you."

“Alright, County Chief Miao, once you’re done with your work, let’s go fishing for big catches in the Xinmin River!” Fang Qingye said.

"okay."

Fang Qingye then called out to Li Zhaotao before driving away.

"Being an official isn't easy," Fang Qingye remarked.

Upon arriving at Wujia Village, Fang Qingye spent the entire day fishing quietly, returning home with a full catch just as the sun was setting. When passing through Xiyang Town, he noticed that the rice paddies he had seen in the morning, which were filled with water, had now been completely drained, and several excavators had been driven onto the highway.

That's fast!
Fang Qingye couldn't help but sigh.

He then saw Wang Lei still busy here.

Wang Lei noticed Fang Qingye's car at this moment, and when he saw Fang Qingye slow down, he quickly walked over.

Fang Qingye stopped the car and asked, "You seem to have already sorted things out?"

"Yes, land acquisition is easy, but demolition is the real trouble. According to the plan, there are two villages with more than 30 households whose farms are located within the planning area. They need to be relocated, and that's the main event," Wang Lei said with a smile.

"Oh, are you done with your work? Want to go back to the city? I can give you a ride," Fang Qingye said again.

"I've finished today's task. I'll go talk to our team leader and see if we can leave now. Wait a minute." After saying that, Wang Lei ran towards the crowd, and after a while he ran back with a bitter smile: "I can't go back. The team leader said we have to work overtime tonight. County Chief Miao is still supervising at the command center."

"It's tough, but do your best. I heard the county is going to build a new energy vehicle industrial park and set up a management committee. If you can stay on the management committee, it's better than staying in Panlong Township," Fang Qingye comforted him.

"That's what I was thinking too." Wang Lei lowered his voice: "I saw you and County Chief Miao were quite familiar this morning. Could you put in a good word for me later?"

"Just focus on your work for now, we'll talk about it when we get there," Fang Qingye replied ambiguously.

"Understood. I'll get back to work now. I'll go into town after I'm done and bring you some chickens that my third uncle raises!" Wang Lei said.

"No, no need," Fang Qingye quickly refused.

"How can I go empty-handed? I'm going over there." After saying that, Wang Lei quickly ran towards the group of people.

It's chicken again.
Fang Qingye shook his head, started the car, and drove towards the county town.

A few days later, Wang Lei went to town and brought Fang Qingye three large roosters that had been plucked and cleaned very thoroughly.

It's already early July, the dreaded rainy season is over, and summer vacation has begun.

Two days ago, Fang Qingye received a message from Bai Ou on QQ, saying that she originally wanted to return to the county court for a summer internship, but changed her mind when the holidays were approaching.

"The Shanghai office of Baker McKenzie, an international law firm in the United States, posted a summer internship job posting online. I applied with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and I didn't expect to be hired. So this summer I won't go back to the county to learn from the foreigners' experience in handling civil cases."

Fang Qingye naturally wouldn't object to the girl's decision, but instead asked with concern, "Where exactly do you work? Is it far from school?"

“It’s not close. Baker McKenzie’s Shanghai office is located in the Jin Mao Tower, which is on Century Avenue in Pudong. It takes two hours by subway to get to our school,” the girl typed in reply.

"But it's okay, I'm going to rent a place nearby temporarily for two months."

Have you found the right one?

"I'm looking now." Fang Qingye thought for a moment and typed, "I'm planning to take a vacation. I'll come to Shanghai since I'm free at home. How about we help each other find an apartment?"

"Okay, when are you coming?" Bai Ou immediately replied on the screen.

"Is today Wednesday or Saturday?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After chatting with Bai Ou, Fang Qingye fell into deep thought.

His trip to Shanghai this time was certainly not just about helping the girl find an apartment.

The effects of the four trillion yuan fiscal stimulus are gradually becoming apparent, and housing prices across the country are starting a new round of increases. I want to buy a house in Shanghai.

It doesn't matter whether we live there in the future or not, we can leave it for now.

Otherwise, if Shanghai implements purchase restrictions in two years, money won't be of any use.

Another question is whether our own Tuofang company needs a formal place to be located and whether we need to purchase commercial real estate.
We'll talk about these things once we get to Shanghai.

On Friday, Fang Qingye asked Xia He for leave, saying she was going to take a one-year anniversary vacation.

"What are you planning to do? Go on a trip?" Xia He asked.

"I'm planning to stay in Shanghai for a few days."

What are you going to Shanghai for?

Fang Qingye didn't mention that she was buying a house, but instead said she was going to meet some classmates.

Xia He naturally wouldn't stop her, and readily signed the leave slip. Then she asked, "Qingye, are you going to play ball tonight?"

"Of course, I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

Fang Qingye took the signed leave slip and left. She went downstairs to hand it to Wu Shengli, as attendance was handled by the General Affairs Office.

Xia He sat blankly behind the boss's desk, feeling a sudden emptiness in her heart as she thought about not seeing Fang Qingye for a week.

Why.
She snapped out of her reverie, sighed softly, and went back to looking at the documents on her desk.

After getting off work, Fang Qingye told her mother that she would be taking a public holiday next week and would be going to Shanghai for a few days.

Hearing this, Zhang Meili, the mother, asked in confusion, "Xiao'ou is coming home for summer vacation, what are you doing in Shanghai?"

“Bai Ou will not be coming back during the summer vacation. She will be doing an internship at a law firm. She said she needs to rent a place to avoid commuting to and from work, so I will help her rent a place.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Limei immediately smiled.

"That's more like it. You have to pay the rent for Xiao'ou's apartment."

"How much is two months' rent?" Fang Qingye said dismissively.

"What do you know?! This is your heartfelt gift!" Zhang Meili scolded.

"Okay, okay"

Fang Qingye was too lazy to argue with her mother.

I gave Bai Ou 100,000 yuan a while ago, and the girl almost returned it. I had to persuade her to accept it. Would she really let you pay this little bit of rent?
But Mom is right. She's earned so much money, how can she not be willing to pay this little bit of rent?

Besides, the girl had helped him a lot.

The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Qingye took her suitcase and drove away from Nanxin, heading straight for Shanghai.
