Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 237 He's even sunk so low that he has to ask Lin Lang, this unknown guy with no money, for a favor.
Song Zhiyuan didn't have to wait long.

When he heard footsteps at the door, he knew the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Less than twenty seconds later, two guys, one bald and the other with a big belly, walked in.

Song Zhiyuan stared in that direction. The two people who came in, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly shuddered when they saw Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan said calmly, "I've been waiting for you two for a long time. Come here and have a good talk with me about how you plan to spend this 3.8 million! If you don't come up with a clear plan today, don't say I'm not giving you face."

“Song… County Magistrate Song…”

"Don't bring up those irrelevant things. I'm Mr. Lin's driver today. Mr. Lin entrusted this matter to me, and I need to give him an explanation."

Liu Zhongyuan reacted the fastest, immediately going over to say, "County Chief Song, we were unaware of this matter either; it was all arranged by Lin Bin."

Lin Bin: "..."

At this moment, Lin Bin was still in a daze, because he had not yet been able to fully digest Song Zhiyuan's identity information.

Seeing Liu Zhongyuan's expression, Song Zhiyuan could no longer hold back.

These guys don't even have the courage to admit their mistakes!

"Fine, you're saying this kind of thing can be decided by a low-ranking official? What use are you then? How dare you even show your face here? Wasn't this all done by someone else? What are you doing here, licking your boots?"

……

When Lin Lang and He Qiang came in, they saw a very awkward scene.

Lin Lang walked over with a smile and asked, "Uncle Song, what's wrong?"

Song Zhiyuan composed himself and said to Lin Lang, "President Lin, if you have time, let's talk about investing in our hometown again. The county needs to re-handle the situation in Xigang Town. But don't worry, the county will send someone to take over some of the work and make sure your matter is handled properly."

Lin Lang nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Song. Let's eat first, and we can chat after we finish. And Uncle Sixteen, and these two... We're all guests..."

Lin Lang then turned to He Qiang and said, "President He, please have a seat. I'll go check on the kitchen."

"Alright, alright, brother, go ahead and get busy."

……

Lin Lang smiled at Feng Yigui and the other man, then turned and went to the kitchen.

There was only one kitchen in the villa, and the three of them were busy inside.

As soon as Lin Lang returned, she started preparing the dishes, and has already cooked several.

Bingning is the mainstay in the kitchen, while Xu Xiuyun is now doing odd jobs.

As for Lin Yuliang? He was completely useless; he simply avoided the outside world.

He was afraid he might say the wrong thing if asked to talk to Song Zhiyuan.

"My son is here... Is that really the county magistrate outside?"

"Yes, Dad, you were so embarrassing just now."

"Really? Why didn't you call ahead to tell me... what are you going to say later? Lili sent over a few bottles of good wine, should I take them out and open them later?"

"What a load of crap! That was a gift for you to drink. What kind of business is it if you take it out and give it to other people? Besides, they've already come to our house to swindle and cheat us. What's the point of giving them drinks? I'd feel like I'm losing out if we gave them a meal."

Bingning, who was cooking, couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not like you made it, so what's the loss?"

"I'm just standing up for Sister Bing. She worked so hard to make these dishes, and a few bastards ate them..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you'll have to eat later yourself, how can you insult yourself like that?"

"Yeah, I was so angry with them that I lost my mind. I don't know how they had the nerve to ask for 3.8 million!"

Lin Lang sent his father out to make a scene. Although he had expected that there would be people trying to take advantage of him, he never expected that those bastards in Xigang Town would be so shameless.

Those two projects, if they each cost a little over a million, would be reasonable.

Xu Xiuyun was unaware of the truth. Upon hearing "three million eight hundred thousand," she exclaimed in surprise, "What? Three million eight hundred thousand?"

"Yes, but it's gone now."

Lin Yuliang whispered, "Son, isn't this a bit inappropriate? I just overheard for a while, and that County Chief Song was cursing really fiercely. We're going to offend the township head and the others this time. We'll be running into each other all the time from now on..."

"Dad, what are you thinking? It's not even certain whether they'll still be township heads in the future. Dad, if you're interested, how about I find a way to make you a township head?"

Lin Yuliang: "..."

Lin Lang was just saying it casually, since Lin Yuliang's qualifications were not up to par and he was not eligible to be voted on.

Moreover, Feng Yigui and his group may not be able to come down in a short time, and the process is quite complicated.

But he can do it if he wants to.

As he spoke, he came to stand in front of Bing Ning.

It's been almost twenty days since I last saw Bingning, and I feel like she's becoming more and more charming.

Because we have underfloor heating, which is an independent system, the house isn't cold. The downside is that it's quite expensive. Even if it only runs for three months a year, the cost is still over 100,000 yuan, not including the initial construction costs.

Bingning was wearing a close-fitting sweater at home, and her figure was very sexy.

"What are you looking at? Are you hungry?"

"Yes, I didn't eat much at noon, I'm starving."

"It's almost ready. Shall we take it out to eat first?"

"It's alright, it's alright, just wait a little longer..."

Lin Lang wasn't in a hurry.

At this moment, Lin Yuliang leaned over and whispered, "Son, was what you just said true?"

"Oh? Really? Guaranteed authentic!"

Lin Lang never expected that his father would actually have this idea.

This is one of the few small wishes that Dad has been willing to bring up on his own initiative.

After about five or six minutes in the kitchen, Ms. Xu started talking about Yan Li, saying that Yan Li's parents would be coming back for the Chinese New Year, and that Lin Lang would arrange for both sets of parents to meet.

"Mom, Yan Li hasn't thought about getting married so soon yet."

"What? You haven't thought about it yet? You're not getting any younger..."

"Twenty-two is still old?"

"Won't you be 23 after the New Year? According to what we say in our hometown, it's already been 24 years. If we round it up a bit and celebrate your birthday a little earlier, you'll be 25."

Lin Lang: "..."

How did it go from twenty-two to twenty-five?
This shows that my mother is very anxious about my marriage.

Bingning, who was standing to the side, said, "Mom, Langlang is still young."

Ms. Xu: "Don't think I didn't say anything to you. You're not young anymore. You should find a boyfriend, but not the kind who's not respectable."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

For Lin Yuliang and Xu Xiuyun, they were very happy that their son was back.

After all, this is their hometown, they have many friends here, and they have long been accustomed to life here. But for many people, Lin Lang's return makes no sense.

Song Zhiyuan was too lazy to talk to Feng Yigui and the others; he would settle the score after he got to work.

He couldn't very well cause a scene at Lin Lang's house. He wanted to talk to Lin Lang more and see how determined Lin Lang was to stay in his hometown.

If Lin Lang can acquire Tianshui Duck Industry, then there's still room for discussion on this matter.

If he can't take over Tianshui Duck Industry, he might not be able to deal with those two guys, Feng Yigui and Liu Zhongyuan.

This isn't something I can decide on my own.

The obstacles I'm facing now are unprecedented.

As long as these two guys can come up with a reasonable explanation, it's not really appropriate, and in the end, it will probably just pass by in a muddled way.

These two guys, apart from being somewhat afraid of me at first, had clearly already figured out their escape route after I laid my cards on the table.

Not long after, Lin Lang came out and said, "Come and eat. Let's put aside what happened before. After we eat, you can talk whatever you want..."

Song Zhiyuan was about to get up and go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes when he saw a figure dart out beside him.

"Brother, let me help you..."

He saw He Qiang's figure.

No, does this person not even think?
Faster than me?
At this moment, Lin Yuliang also came out and said to Song Zhiyuan, "Leaders, please take a seat."

Actually, there aren't many seats in the house; it's just a habit that we leave the seats closest to the inside reserved.

Feng Yigui and his companions certainly didn't dare to sit down, and said, "County Magistrate Song, this way please."

Song Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to freeload, no, no."

At this moment, Lin Lang and He Qiang also came out with their dishes. Seeing that the group was standing there without sitting down, Lin Lang pulled He Qiang over and said, "Mr. He, why don't you have a drink with my dad later?"

After saying that, Lin Lang pressed He Qiang down into the so-called 'seat of honor'.

Before He Qiang could get up, Lin Lang pulled his father over and said, "Dad, sit down too. President He has come from afar, and I can't drink either. You can keep him company with a couple of drinks."

"Uncle Song, please have a seat here too..."

Lin Lang pulled out a chair next to him.

It was arranged in just a few words.

Song Zhiyuan sat down with a smile and said to Feng Yigui and the others, "Why don't you sit down nearby and wait for President Lin to personally arrange things for you?"

Lin Yuliang stood up and said, "County Chief Song, you are honored guests here..."

"Brother, it's all the same no matter where you sit. I can't drink anyway, so I'm afraid I'll spoil your fun. It's fine here, and I can chat with President Lin later."

At this moment, He Qiang also felt a little uneasy, after all, Lin Lang did not seem to give Song Zhiyuan any face.

Lin Lang took some bowls and chopsticks and had his father distribute them. Then he took a bottle of wine and placed it on his father's seat.

However, he only took two wine glasses.

After finishing all that, he went to the kitchen and called his mother to come out for dinner.

"I'll wait until Ningning is done with her work."

"Mom, you go first. I'll go out with Bing-jie. Anyway, there's only one left."

"Alright then, hurry up, we're waiting for you to start eating."

"Yes, very fast."

Lin Lang pushed his mother out and came to Bing Ning's side, saying, "Sister Bing, did you miss me?"

"Of course I miss my brother. How long will you be staying this time?"

"It might only be two or three days. I still need to go to Shanghai, but I won't stay there for long. After the New Year, I'll stay at home."

"Oh? I see your company and Yan Li's company are doing quite well. Aren't you going to work there next year?"

"I'm not going. It's better not to travel far while our parents are alive. Besides, I have you as my older sister. It's more comfortable to stay at home."

Bingning: "...I'm available anytime you want, so don't interfere with your business. Besides, there are plenty of young ladies in Shanghai."

"But there aren't many older women who are both beautiful and have great figures."

Bingning didn't recognize the word "old" at first, but later she realized it.

"Your mouth is like it's poisoned! Mom just teased me about my age, and now you're doing it again?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, Sister Bing. I'll help you get revenge tonight as an apology."

"That's more like it, watch me squeeze you to death!"

Lin Lang and Bing Ning have long since broken down that sense of shame, so they are gradually moving towards a direction where there are no taboos.

Others can't.

You can't expect people to come up to you just because they see you sitting on the sofa.

Soon, the last dish was ready, and Lin Lang and Bing Ning went out together and sat down.

This meal shouldn't have been like this.

But life has no original plan. Originally, Lin Lang had just been promoted to a full-time position and was getting involved in his first project.

About an hour later, the meal, which was neither hot nor cold, was finished.

Lin Bin remained silent throughout, his previous domineering demeanor gone.

He never imagined that his own relative, who had treated him like an honored guest one second, would treat his superiors as inferiors the next, and even Song Zhiyuan was not given the seat of honor.

But Song Zhiyuan didn't seem angry at all.

After eating and resting for about ten minutes, Feng Yigui and his group made an excuse to leave.

They could have left much earlier, but they were really envious. They felt that since Song Zhiyuan was here, he would definitely be serving good wine, and they could have a drink with him.

Once you've had a drink, you can take the opportunity to have a good chat with Song Zhiyuan.

They can admit their mistakes, but there must be some benefit to their actions...

As a result, Lin Lang didn't give them a chance at all. He took out a bottle of wine but didn't let them drink it.

We haven't even had a drink, what's the point of chatting?

After they came out, Lin Bin followed cautiously behind him.

Once in the car, Feng Yigui said, "What should we do about this? Song Zhiyuan will definitely cause us trouble next Tuesday."

Liu Zhongyuan said, "Old Feng, don't be afraid. Song Zhiyuan doesn't have that much influence in the county! In the end, it still depends on Secretary Kong to make the decision. Given Song Zhiyuan's current situation, can he do it? We just need to make that 3.8 million as reasonable as possible, and this matter will be more or less resolved."

"Is it that easy?"

"Of course it's easy. Didn't you see that Song Zhiyuan didn't even get a seat today? What does that mean? It means he's also here to ask Lin Lang for a favor, and Lin Lang doesn't even take him seriously. Even if Lin Lang is worth tens of millions, you can find one or two people like him in our town, let alone the whole county. The fact that he's reduced to asking Lin Lang, an unknown guy with no money, for a favor shows that he can't move an inch in the county. There's nothing to be afraid of about someone like that."

After saying that, Liu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Bin and said, "Lin Bin, I'm entrusting this matter to you. No matter what, you must make the 3.8 million yuan reasonable! We certainly won't treat you unfairly. After this matter, we'll promote you to the position of director of the township office."
