Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 113 You really have the heart to send me away?

Sunday.

Song Zhiyuan has been back for two days. After investigating the matter thoroughly, he urgently convened a meeting.

Although he was restricted in many ways within the county, there weren't many people who could truly cooperate with him.

But he was, after all, the second-in-command. He called an emergency meeting, and everyone who was supposed to come would come. No one dared to cause him any trouble in this matter.

There were more than twenty people in attendance at this meeting.

Although the county town has a relatively complete system of departments, with a total of forty or fifty departments, most of them are on the periphery and are not usually invited to formal meetings.

Those invited this time were specifically requested by Song Zhiyuan.

He was especially afraid of missing the tax bureau, so he was the first to send out a notice.

The conversation started with some trivial topics, such as the difficulties faced by private enterprises and the attractiveness of small county towns to large corporations. Then, the topic was steered towards Dayu Media.

"The day before yesterday, I went to the city for a meeting and saw someone filming a video on the roadside. There were many people watching... I asked the driver and found out that it was a very famous internet celebrity in the city with hundreds of thousands of followers."

Then I became curious. How come a social media influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers, whose followers should be scattered all over the country, has so many in the city?
Later I learned that just because an internet celebrity has hundreds of thousands of followers doesn't mean that she has only been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Millions or even tens of millions of people may have seen her on the internet, and when they actually see her, they will still remember her.

If someone with only a few hundred thousand followers has this much influence, how much influence would an internet celebrity with over a million or two million followers have?
Coincidentally, there is indeed an internet celebrity in our county with more than two million followers. I believe the Education Bureau should know about this, right?
It is your tenured teacher, Yun Yiyi.

Teacher Yun's teaching left a deep impression on me. Not only that, but her simple and capable qualities have also attracted a lot of attention... Similarly, this is why she was able to help Tianshui duck industry sell 35 million yuan worth of products in a single live-streaming sales event..."

Listening to Song Zhiyuan's words, some people present had already roughly guessed what he was going to say.

It's no secret that Tianshui Duck Industry sold over 30 million yuan worth of goods, but no one specifically reported it to Song Zhiyuan.

After all, Tianshui Duck Industry is just a private enterprise, and there is no special supervisory department for it.

"Old Song, I'm not entirely clear on this either. How about we go to Tianshui Duck Industry and talk to Qin Dong to find out what's going on? This is a big deal, after all, Tianshui Duck Industry still owes a lot of money..."

The person sitting next to Song Zhiyuan spoke up.

However, Song Zhiyuan said, "Tianshui Duck Industry is currently facing difficulties. They haven't received much of the 35 million yuan worth of goods they sold. I'm not in a hurry to ask for money just because they sold a little. The most important point is... I think this live-streaming e-commerce model is something we must explore... One Yunyi has brought more than 30 million yuan to our county. And this was just their first live-streaming e-commerce event. What about the second and third?"

"Yes, yes, Lao Song is right, this is indeed a direction we should take."

Anyway, Song Zhiyuan can do whatever he wants; whether anyone is willing to cooperate is another matter.

Compared to the people present, Song Zhiyuan was relatively young, only forty-two years old.

Therefore, Song Zhiyuan's ideas are completely different from those of this group.

Song Zhiyuan wanted to achieve better results, while others only wanted stability.

Stabilize the current situation and avoid unnecessary disruptions.

But Song Zhiyuan insisted on making trouble!

Any disruption would damage their interests and break their original balance.

Song Zhiyuan: "It's not just a direction, it's a key area we need to focus on! I thought about it for two days after I came back, and I also studied it for two days. Currently, Tianshui County has neither resources nor brands. But the self-media industry doesn't have so many restrictions, and it doesn't require so many conditions. As long as you can find someone knowledgeable, they can bring us internet traffic... and with a little manipulation, that traffic could potentially turn into our consumption..."

"No problem, I have no objection to that."

Song Zhiyuan glanced at the others and asked, "Everyone, please feel free to share your thoughts..."

If someone knows that Song Zhiyuan is going to cause trouble again, then let him be.

"We will definitely cooperate with Leader Song's arrangements." Some of the people below began to express their stance.

Song Zhiyuan nodded and continued, "I also investigated. Teacher Yun Yiyi was trained by a company called Dayu Media in the county. The boss of that company is a college graduate from our county. Speaking of which, I don't understand why the tax authorities would dare to investigate a company that has only been established for a little over a month?"

He then changed the subject and formally introduced the main topic.

All of the previous efforts were just groundwork, mainly to let the county-level officials around me express their stance.

Otherwise, if he brings up this matter right away, the county will most likely help to smooth things over, and then he won't be able to say anything.

Essentially, in any matter, the side with more people has the final say, and the side with more people has the right to make decisions.

At this point, Song Zhiyuan stood up abruptly and slammed his fist on the table!
"They're just a small company, newly established. Do you expect them to have a complete structure from the start, like large enterprises? If that's the case, why don't you go and attract large enterprises to settle in our Tianshui County?"

"Is it because you're used to taking bribes and kickbacks? Whenever a new business starts up in the county, you all try to freeload off it?"

The county official standing nearby quickly said, "Old Song, Old Song, calm down..."

As a result, Song Zhiyuan slammed his fist on the table a few more times, "Do you know that the employees of Tianshui Duck Industry haven't received their wages last month? Why don't you go to Tianshui Duck Industry to check? Is it because you're afraid, or do you have some other deal with Tianshui Duck Industry? You're only bullying new companies because they're easy to bully?"

No one spoke.

Even sitting next to Song Zhiyuan.

After all, they had already agreed to some of Song Zhiyuan's proposals and ideas.

There's definitely no way to defend this matter at this point.

Even if this happened a few days ago... because those two days were not working days.

Even if he didn't know about it.

But since Song Zhiyuan brought it up, he must have some evidence.

Agreeing with something means that it is correct, which is what is called defining it.

What has existed for a long time may be overturned, while what has happened recently is an almost unchangeable will.

Song Zhiyuan laid so much groundwork just to characterize the tax bureau's tax audit as nitpicking.

"When I found out about this, I felt really ashamed! Was I ashamed for myself? I was ashamed for you all! You've all lost all sense of shame!"

Song Zhiyuan paused, then said, "On this matter, I don't want to hear any excuses or reasons! Going forward, I expect all departments to cooperate unconditionally..."

……

Yan Li knew that Lin Lang would definitely not become a live-in son-in-law, and her family had no need for such a son-in-law.

But Lin Lang is really shameless.

It's as if he's the only one with hundreds of millions.

The food was served around 11 o'clock.

Today's lunch was very plentiful, with ten dishes of various sizes.

"Our family only has eight dishes for Chinese New Year."

When Lin Lang led Yan Li to her seat, he said something.

Yan Li said with a smile, "Can't my uncle and aunt be nice to me?"

At this moment, Ms. Xu sat down and said, "If Lili likes to eat, she can stay here a little longer. We've also cleaned up Langlang's room, changed the sheets, blankets, and pillows, and bought new toiletries and towels..."

Yan Li asked, "Where will Lin Lang sleep?"

"Where can't he sleep?"

Ms. Xu didn't rule out the possibility of a boy sleeping in her hometown, even though it was the girl's first time staying at her home. She felt it was a matter of respect.

Otherwise it would seem like a family was bullying a girl.

But Yan Li isn't a local, and there might not be this custom in Shanghai. Yan Li smiled and said to Lin Lang, "See, your aunt and uncle treat me better, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's for your own good. You can stay here from now on."

Lin Lang didn't mind, since he had plenty of places to sleep anyway.

In a few days, Shen An'an will probably stop living with Bing Ning.

Yan Li said with some melancholy, "I really want to stay here, but I'm quite busy at work, so I have to go back tonight."

"Huh? Leaving tonight?"

"Yes, so after we finish eating, I'll have Lin Lang take me to the airport."

"Can't we stay a couple more days?"

Ms. Xu did not expect that Yan Li would come over just to have a meal.

"I... I can't help it..."

Yan Li said something in a low voice.

Lin Lang, standing to the side, felt that Yan Li was about to cry from grievance.

If Ms. Xu sees this, she's definitely doomed.

Ms. Xu often cries while watching TV, and she has a strong empathy for the act of crying.

We can't let Ms. Xu be won over by Yan Li. In this family, Ms. Xu is the only one who's still clear-headed.

"Mom, Yan Li's company is no small business. She invested 100 million yuan to start it. How can it be delayed for just two days?"

"Wow, one hundred million?"

This number is too big for Ms. Xu.

It's too big to even imagine.

"Yes, there's no way to stay any longer."

Yan Li, standing to the side: "..."

Is Lin Lang really going to send her away?
She was just making up an excuse to politely decline.

She had hoped to shed a couple of tears to evoke Ms. Xu's empathy and get her to say something to persuade her to stay, so she took the opportunity to stay.

Once she's made up her mind, it's very difficult to change it.

The last time I came, I felt that Lin Lang had a strong talent in the self-media industry, as well as in the financial industry. Among his peers, he was a very unique and outstanding individual.

This time, she discovered that Lin Lang's talent in the self-media industry was not only astonishing, but his talent in the financial industry was also far beyond her comprehension.

Fortunately, both of these abilities were of great help to her.

She wants to.

She wanted Lin Lang to go to Tianjin Capital to help her.

This time, she set herself a small goal: at the very least, she would take everyone on that analyst team, except for Lin Lang, with her.

At this moment, Lin Lang's words brought Ms. Xu to her senses.

One hundred million!
She had so much money that she was almost scared!
She originally thought that her son was already very capable, earning one or two million, and that he was not unworthy of Yan Li.

Now it seems... everyone has just graduated, and Yan Li's family can give her 100 million yuan. Just how much money does her family have?
Yan Li lowered her head and hesitated for more than ten seconds before raising her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Auntie, how about I..."

Ms. Xu said with heartache, "Lili, it's our fault for not knowing before. Such a big company must be very busy. If you like my cooking, I'll quit my job and go to Shanghai to cook for you in a while."

Lin Yuliang couldn't help but ask, "What about us?"

"Go and get takeout with your son!"

……

After dinner, Yan Li began teaching the elderly couple how to use their new mobile phone.

They're all the new iPhones this year. Lin Lang is still using the iPhone 7 Plus from two years ago, while the old couple got XS models. The official Chinese version was only released a month ago, and you still have to pay extra to buy one.

Then she had the two of them try on clothes. She bought a set for each of them and said she would send another set of autumn clothes next month, and then buy winter clothes in two or three months.

Ms. Xu is usually reluctant to spend money on herself, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like new clothes and new phones.

Normal people like new things, but she was able to restrain her desires, knowing that her family's circumstances were not good and that there would be many places where she would need money in the future.

Finally, he took Lin Yuliang downstairs and explained the car to him in detail.

Lin Yuliang pretended to decline for a while, but after getting into the car and sitting in the driver's seat, his eyes were practically gleaming as he looked at the car.

After the explanation was finished, Yan Li took out a gas card worth five thousand yuan and handed it to Lin Yuliang.

Lin Lang, who was standing to the side, was stunned by Yan Li's actions.

Everything else is fine, but what the heck is this gas card?

Could she possibly imagine that her father was reluctant to give her gas?
In terms of gift-giving, Yan Li managed to turn Ms. Xu and Lin Yuliang into people with social anxiety.

I've never experienced anything like this before. I guess I should just accept it. It feels like this whole family is running a scam.

If I don't accept it, I can't live with my conscience.

Taking the opportunity, Ms. Xu pulled Lin Lang aside and asked, "Son, if you and Yan Li get together, our family won't say anything. But if you don't..."

"Mom, don't worry. If it doesn't work out, I'll return whatever she gives me. Our family will definitely not take advantage of her."

"Can you still afford it?"

"If you can't repay me, I'll become her live-in son-in-law!"

After saying that, Lin Lang found Yan Li and said, "It's getting late. I checked and the flight is at 8 pm. The airport is quite a distance from the city center, and it will probably take two hours to get there. Check-in will also take time. Let's go now."

Ms. Xu became anxious: "Why so early? Have some food before you leave."

"Mom, it's only four o'clock, and I'm not hungry... There's only one flight left, so please don't miss it."

"Then...then...when you get to the airport, take Lili to get something to eat, otherwise it will be too late to get back."

"Well, don't worry."

Seeing Lin Lang run to his car, Yan Li could only say to Ms. Xu, "Well... Auntie, I'll be going now. I'll come see you again in a while."

"Lili, call me if anything comes up..."

"okay……"

Lin Lang's car had already pulled up in front of them.

Yan Li sat down and remained in a stalemate with Ms. Xu for several minutes.

As the car drove away, Yan Li suddenly asked Lin Lang, "Are you really willing to see me off?"
