Right path to power

Director Geng?

Young Master Li?

Young Master Hong?

Upon hearing these titles, Lin Xiao immediately envisioned the corresponding individuals.

Director Geng is Geng Wan, the deputy director of the county government office. He is in charge of the work of Executive Deputy County Head Hong Feng. Li Shao is Li Hang, the son of Mayor Li Cheng. As for Hong Shao, he is Hong Tao, Hong Feng's nephew.

These people are not good people. They must have already formed a group with shared interests. Since they see Lin Xiao as a thorn in their side, they naturally don't want to see the pilot project succeed.

Although Lin Xiao wasn't too surprised that these people wanted to cause trouble, he was still a little surprised. He originally thought that after Qingqi Group collapsed, these people would quiet down for a while, but now it seems that it's a fight to the death, and they've even started a joint operation.

"This news might be useful to you."

"Okay, thanks."

"Then, we're even."

"From now on, may we both find peace and happiness!"

Fan Yuyan took a small step forward, opened her arms and said, "Could we hug one last time, as a farewell to our past?"

Lin Xiao subconsciously took a step back and looked at Fan Yuyan warily.

"How heartless!"

Fan Yuyan complained with a helpless expression.

"Fan Yuyan..."

Just then, an angry voice came from afar.

It turned out that Jin Baolong, with a gloomy face, rushed across the road from the other side. He almost hit a car while crossing the road, but he still went on his way.

Upon arriving, he was panting excitedly, his face flushed red, and he demanded, "Didn't you say you had nothing to do with him anymore? Why are we meeting again today? Don't tell me it was a coincidence; I saw everything clearly from across the street. Did you come here specifically to see him? Why? What do you take me for?"

Kim Bo-ryong vented his anger like a shrew in the street.

"It's my own business, none of your concern."

Fan Yuyan said coldly, clearly not taking Jin Baolong seriously.

"you……"

"Go away. I don't want to see you again. Besides, we're not really in a relationship. You don't really think that after that one accident, we'll be together forever. We're both adults. Be realistic and stop dreaming."

At this point, Jin Baolong completely lost his composure, his face a mixture of love and hate. He said, "Fan Yuyan, I've been so good to you, and you...you actually treated me like this? Is it because I wasn't promoted? Did he threaten you? Tell me, and I'll cripple him..."

Lin Xiao, who had only wanted to watch the show, finally couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this guy a typical simp and backup boyfriend?

"You surnamed Lin, what are you laughing at? I..."

"Jin Baolong, don't drag me into your business. I have nothing to do with her anymore. You're willing to be a simp and a backup option, no one's stopping you."

Upon hearing this, Jin Baolong turned pale with anger and rushed up to Lin Xiao, shouting, "What did you say? Who's the simp? Let me tell you, Lin Xiao, don't be too smug. Fortune changes every thirty years. I don't believe you can have this damn luck forever. One day I will surpass you. Just you wait and see."

Previously, Jin Baolong was also full of vigor, and it seemed that the deputy section chief position was already beckoning to him. Who knew that the county would adjust its cadres, and Lin Xiao, who had been sent back to the countryside, would turn the tables and become the deputy director of the county government office, while he was still stuck in the same place.

Furthermore, Fan Yuyan's aloofness and indifference towards him clearly caused him to fall into a slump in both his career and love life, which dealt him a great blow.

Not only that, he was also suffering from inner turmoil and mental confusion, and he made repeated mistakes at work. His superiors had called him into their offices many times to receive severe criticism.

This guy must be crazy!

Lin Xiao was speechless. He turned to Fan Yuyan and said, "I will keep our promise, and I hope you will take care of yourself. Goodbye."

After saying that, Lin Xiao turned and left.

"Stop right there!" Jin Baolong roared.

"Jin Baolong, are you crazy? If you keep this up, I'm calling the police."

Fan Yuyan's angry voice came from behind, and Lin Xiao shook her head and continued walking forward.

Just then, his phone rang.

Upon taking it out, Lin Xiao saw that it was Guan Tong calling, and immediately answered.

"Director Guan, what are your instructions?"

"Hey, Director Lin, you're too kind again. It's really boring."

"Haha, sorry, Sister Tong, just tell me if you have any instructions."

"That's more like it. Okay, I'm just kidding. I'm calling you today mainly to report three things to you."

"Three things?"

"First of all, your little sweetheart Zhong Xue has been working here for a week and has passed all the company's assessments. She's now a full-fledged member of the investment department. You can rest assured, with your sister here, I will absolutely not let her suffer any losses."

"Thank you so much, Sister Tong. Please also thank your CEO Fang for me. I'll treat you and CEO Fang to drinks another day. But, she's not my little lover, so don't say anything like that."

"I understand, don't worry about that, I'm not a gossip. Besides, you're both unmarried, so whatever happens in the future isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"And the second thing?" Lin Xiao quickly changed the subject.

Guan Tong's tone tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "The second matter concerns Zhengyuan Pharmaceutical. I heard that Zhengyuan Pharmaceutical is suspected of tax evasion and substandard quality of medicinal materials, and the person in charge has been detained. In addition, a purchasing manager at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has reportedly been arrested for accepting bribes."

"There's always a reason for everything, Sister Tong. I think they brought this on themselves. We should thank the organization for purging these scoundrels who are harming the team," Lin Xiao thought with a sigh.

Guan Tong nodded without speaking, then chuckled a few seconds later, her tone becoming serious: "The third matter requires Director Lin's help to coordinate. Someone from our subsidiary investment company was beaten up in Fengshan County and is now in the hospital, but they are still being harassed. They called me for help, but I'm not in Fengshan County and I'm powerless to do anything about it, so I can only ask you for help."

"Is that so? Sister Tong, don't worry too much. How about this, give me the phone numbers of your subordinates' colleagues first, and I'll contact them to find out the details."

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. Thank you, Kobayashi."

"Sister Tong, you don't need to be so polite with me. Just relax, I will definitely handle this matter well."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Lin Xiao was getting restless. He had just learned from Fan Yuyan that someone was going to sabotage the pilot project in Songmao Village, but then he received a call for help from Guan Tong on behalf of her subsidiary company in Fengshan County.

A businessman who invests in Chinese medicinal herbs was actually beaten up in Fengshan County, and even after being admitted to the hospital, he was still harassed.

This is incredibly audacious; it's clearly a slap in the face to her.

These people clearly didn't understand what would happen if they angered Lin Xiao, or perhaps they were being overly confident and arrogant.

Since that's the case, let's investigate it thoroughly!
