Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 235 My heart is set on my hometown!

When Lin Lang woke up, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

I got into the car with my suitcase and drove towards the high-speed rail station.

Although it takes five or six hours by high-speed rail, flying is more of a hassle.

The only way to fly is from Pudong, and Pudong Airport is ridiculously huge.

Checking in takes one or two hours back and forth, and once you get to Jiangcheng, it's still over a hundred kilometers to get back to the county town, which takes quite a bit of time.

Shen An'an and her group left at 8:40, while Lin Lang's group left at 9:50.

By the time Lin Lang set off, they were already on the bus, thus avoiding each other perfectly.

After parking his car, Lin Lang didn't waste much time and went straight into the station, without wasting much time in the whole process.

After getting on the bus, I sent a few messages.

……

He Qiang has been very uneasy lately.

Because he invested a lot.

In addition to his own investment of 100 million yuan, he also poured in all 500 million yuan from his own company.

On Tuesday, the market fluctuated, and those investors became restless, wanting him to liquidate his positions and run away as soon as possible.

At that time, they had a profit of eighty points.

Seeing the price drop of 90 million that day, everyone panicked.

However, he felt that Tianjin Capital was under pressure to sell its shares at that time, and he insisted on persisting despite the opposition.

Indeed, after a certain return, even if the stock opened at its daily limit down in the following days, it eventually rebounded.

Now, the unrealized profit is close to 110%, turning from the initial 500 million to the current 1.06 billion.

He was unsure whether Tianjin Capital had absconded or not; if they had, he would have left on Friday.

There was no way to call Lin Lang, since Lin Lang was with Tianjin Capital and could easily violate the rules.

On Saturday, facing pressure from so many investors, he decided to go to Shanghai in person.

However, before he went, he first needed to confirm one thing: whether Lin Lang was in Shanghai.

Lin Lang has been busy with matters related to Big Fish Media, and he might be out on other things on Saturdays and Sundays.

So he went to Tianshui County and found Yun Yiyi.

Because I had eaten with Yun Yiyi, I knew that Yun Yiyi had a lot of contact with Lin Lang, and that it wasn't against the rules.

If he contacts Lin Lang, it might cause trouble for Lin Lang.

"Does Teacher Yun mean that President Lin is coming back today?"

"Yes, he has to go back to his hometown. If Mr. He has something to do here, let's wait until tomorrow. He will come to the county town after he finishes his work tomorrow."

"Hometown? Okay, thanks a lot, Teacher Yun."

Knowing that Lin Lang was back, he didn't need to leave.

Around 11 a.m., he arrived in Xigang Town and parked his car not far from Lin Lang's house.

Lin Lang's house is easy to recognize. Although there are some villas in the town, none of them are as luxurious as Lin Lang's, nor are they as well-designed.

After parking the car, I walked to a restaurant about 100 meters away and ordered two dishes.

In rural towns, many of these restaurants are practically empty at lunchtime on weekdays.

After the food was served, He Qiang started chatting with the restaurant owner.

He Qiang asked, "Brother, that villa not far from your house looks really impressive, with a bunch of banners hanging there. Whose is it?"

The boss said irritably, "Who else could it be? It's the nouveau riche's family. They've made a little money and don't know who they are anymore. Now the whole town knows they're rich."

"Huh? What happened? Could you please tell me, brother?"

He Qiang definitely wanted to find out why Lin Lang had come back.

If it's something urgent, he won't bother you today.

The restaurant owner was very patient, considering that He Qiang had delivered the sales figures at noon.

"You probably don't know them. Their surname is Lin, and they're not considered a big family in our town. I think their son started a company this year and made ten or twenty million. He built him a villa and bought him a car, spending four or five million. Then he got all cocky and started bragging about it all over the world, as if he was afraid people wouldn't know his family had made a fortune."

"Did they put up those banners themselves?"

"No, that's not it. Although that family is a bit pretentious, they wouldn't go to this extent. Those banners were sent by the township government. Actually, banners only cost a few dollars. The township government just wanted to extort money from them, but they were overjoyed. Judging from the township government's attitude, they probably won't stop until they get several million. That's several million! They've ripped themselves off by bragging. Their son will probably be furious when he gets back!"

"I see..." He Qiang had more or less figured it out.

But a mere few million was not enough to infuriate Lin Lang. Others' daily fluctuations were hundreds of millions or even billions. They were not unfamiliar with money.

The restaurant owner continued, "Actually, it's best to keep your money hidden. Once you have money, others will covet it. Among relatives and friends, there are always those who are struggling, and there are always those who are shameless, always bragging about how rich they are, and others will try every means to borrow from them. To be honest, my shop may look inconspicuous, but it actually brings in two or three hundred thousand yuan a year, pure profit. But I've never told anyone. If people ask, I just say that my business is bad and I still owe money. Over the years, I've saved more than a million yuan, and I'm planning to buy an apartment for my son in a big city."

"Yes, yes, yes, my brother is truly insightful..."

A perfectly clear egg!
If you really understand things, why would you need to put on airs in front of a complete stranger?
Wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night.

Everyone has a tendency to show off. When He Qiang made money, he even gave out red envelopes to the whole village. He was so eager to buy a chicken leg for every dog ​​that passed by his house.

However, after the initial novelty wore off, and with relatives in the village trying various ways to borrow money, he became a bit more low-key.

People can't understand things if they haven't experienced them.

Lin Lang's achievements are so impressive that they would be considered top-tier, even in the county, let alone in the village.

Install it first, experience it, and then you can settle down with it; this is a standard process.

You can't expect a family that has never been rich to quietly hide their money once they start earning it, can you?
Then all the grievances I suffered before were for nothing.
If you're cautious when you're poor, and still cautious when you're rich, then what's the point of having money?
"Brother Lin Lang came back specifically because he probably found out about this. Brother Lin Lang is the most insightful person. He never intended to show off; he just couldn't control his parents."

He Qiang felt that this was the main reason Lin Lang came back; he didn't want things to escalate any further.

……

On the high-speed rail.

Lin Lang thought of how cautious his father was when he called him last night, and felt a little guilty, as if the situation was caused by his own flamboyance.

In fact, this was Lin Lang's indulgence of him.

He encouraged his father to go out and show off, and to visit relatives everywhere.

With his encouragement, Lin Yuliang naturally became increasingly arrogant...

If Lin Lang had stopped it sooner, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. This outcome was entirely within Lin Lang's expectations, and perhaps even something he personally orchestrated.

After all, if he wants to work in his hometown, he first needs to have a certain level of fame.

It doesn't matter if others call him a nouveau riche or a sucker; what matters most is being able to be guided by him.

I ate something on the high-speed train around 1 p.m.

Although it didn't taste good, it was still better than going hungry.

Around 4 p.m., the high-speed train arrived at the station, and he immediately got out, dragging his suitcase.

There were many people at the high-speed rail exit. Lin Lang refused several unlicensed taxi drivers and then saw Song Zhiyuan.

"Uncle Song".

"President Lin is here. Come, come, let me help you with your luggage."

"No, no, no, I can do it myself. If Yan Li finds out, she'll definitely scold me."

Since we're preparing to leave Tianjin Capital, let's leave the good stuff to Yan Li so that it will be easier for him in the future.

For example, reputation.

Those who are unaware of the situation will likely focus their attention on Yan Li, but those who are aware, like Song Zhiyuan, will likely focus their attention on him and associate him with Tianjin Capital.

In that case, if there's any cooperation with them, they subconsciously want Tianjin Capital to take the lead.

After all, Tianjin Capital is awesome!
Now that Lin Lang has positioned himself below Yan Li, others will no longer associate him too closely with Tianjin Capital.

Of course, there are also drawbacks, namely that trust levels may be somewhat lower.

But that's not the core factor.

"No, no, it can't be..."

Seeing that Lin Lang didn't give it to him, Song Zhiyuan could only lead the way to where he had parked his car.

After opening the trunk and letting Lin Lang put the suitcase in, he got into the driver's seat.

After the car drove away, Lin Lang said, "Before I came back this time, I had planned to go and talk to Uncle Song about the duck industry, but I didn't expect to trouble Uncle Song with this trip."

"Haha, what's the trouble? I'm happy that you're still thinking about Tianshui Duck Industry. But for now, you should focus on your own business. We can talk again when you're done."

"Alright, the Tianshui duck industry can't be discussed in just a few words."

The reason Lin Lang hasn't taken Tianshui Duck Industry seriously lately is simply because he feels the timing isn't right yet.

In other people's eyes, Tianshui Duck Industry only has the value of being a listed company shell, but in his eyes, Tianshui Duck Industry has something else that is valuable.

Class II medical device manufacturing qualification.

Qin Dong spent tens of millions of yuan to apply for that qualification in order to promote Tianshui Duck Industry. After all, to obtain this qualification, various standards in the production workshop need to be met, and the whole process takes a very long time.

Applying now might not be too late, but the problem is I can't find a reason at all.

The acquisition of Tianshui Duck Industry is a very good reason.

Song Zhiyuan asked, "By the way, is there something wrong at home that you came back this time? Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"

"It's nothing major. The town just wanted me to contribute to some public welfare projects. I've always enjoyed doing these kinds of things, so when I heard about it, I rushed back on Saturday. When it comes to charity, I either don't do it at all, or I do it to the best of my ability. I don't trust others to do it."

"So that's what it was about. You're definitely different from others. If it were anyone else, with their current status, they would have just stayed in Shanghai and never come back. After all, their hometown doesn't hold much significance for them anymore. The fact that you made a special trip back for this matter is a stroke of luck for Xigang Town."

"Haha, I had a fight with Yan Li when I came back this time. She didn't want me to leave. But I said a long time ago that my purpose in starting a business and making money is to benefit my fellow villagers. If I had the ability, I would like to help Tianshui County get rid of its label as a poverty-stricken county. I can't do the latter yet, but I can still try the former."

Song Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "You mean you're going to stay in the county from now on?"

"Yes, I definitely want the place where I was born and raised to become better. However, my personal abilities are limited, so I can only do my best and strive for a life where I can have a clear conscience."

Song Zhiyuan: "..."

You're so rich now, aren't you?
You must have a net worth of several hundred million, right?
If such a large amount of money is injected into a small town, wouldn't the entire town take off from its current state?

The so-called "taking off from the spot" doesn't refer to how much money Lin Lang can earn, but rather the employment opportunities he can provide...

If jobs are retained, consumption will also remain. Even if only one-fifth of this money circulates within the town, it can still raise the town's overall level by several levels.

The distance to Xigang Town is only a dozen kilometers, and even though Song Zhiyuan wasn't driving fast, it only took him a little over twenty minutes to get there.

Lin Lang's house was easy to find. After the car arrived at the door, Lin Lang got out of the car and did not rush to take his luggage. Instead, he took Song Zhiyuan into the house.

The house was quite lively, with several people there, mostly relatives.

Lin Yuliang was chatting with someone when he saw Lin Lang return and said, "Langlang is back. Come and see your sixteenth uncle."

Lin Lang glanced at Lin Bin, then walked over with a smile and said, "Sixteenth Uncle, you've come too."

Upon seeing Lin Lang, Lin Bin feigned nonchalance and said, "It's all because of your family's affairs. After all, you don't really understand it. If something goes wrong, not only will you be dissatisfied, but we will also suffer. I haven't slept for a day and a night to get the list sorted out."

Lin Lang said, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Sixteen. Where is the list? Let me see it."

"Okay, if you have no questions, just sign it. The township head and the party secretary will be here in a bit."

"Row."

Lin Lang reached out and took the list.

Song Zhiyuan, who was standing to the side, did not say anything, but he had already frowned.

A big shot like Lin Lang is going back to his hometown to do charity work, while this damn township head and secretary is putting on airs.
And this damn clerk, how could he have said that just now?
It's as if he's worked hard.

If you're afraid of hard work, then don't fucking take this salary!

What a piece of trash!

At this moment, Lin Yuliang also noticed Song Zhiyuan and came over to ask, "You're Langlang's friend, right? Please sit down, please sit down..."

Song Zhiyuan quickly said, "You're welcome. I'm just driving for President Lin. I'll be leaving soon."

"Then sit down and rest for a while. Would you like a smoke?"

Song Zhiyuan: "..."

Damn, I really want to smoke.

Lin Yuliang took out some really good cigarettes, which he usually wouldn't be willing to part with.

"thanks, thanks……"

At this moment, Lin Lang had finished reading the list and asked calmly, "Sixteenth Uncle, the total cost is 3.8 million for the construction of 800 meters of road and a 26-meter bridge, right?"

Lin Bin nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes..."
