Right path to power

On the morning of the 7th, Lin Xiao's family took Song Guoqiang and his wife, Song Guoqing and his wife, and Song Yawei's family to Fengdu.

At the airport, Gu Yongling held her daughter's hand and said to Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, I'm entrusting Qingqing to you. You must take good care of her and cherish her. Husband and wife should understand each other and communicate more about anything. I hope you will be happy."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will make Qingqing happy."

"Please rest assured, my dear in-laws, our whole family will cherish Qingqing," Xiang Fangjing stated.

"Lin Xiao, if you dare to bully Qingqing, I won't let you get away with it."

"Auntie, how could I dare to bully her? I'm afraid she's the one who bullies me, isn't she?"

"What did you say?" Song Wanqing rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, things may have changed since you and Qingqing got married. I hope you can stay humble, down-to-earth, and continue as always."

"Yes, Uncle."

Lin Xiao understood the unspoken meaning behind her uncle Song Guoqing's words—he was now the rightful son-in-law of the Song family, and his connections in the province had already been exposed.

The next two issues are simply: first, whether he will use these relationships to achieve some goal; and second, whether others will want to use him to get in touch with these relationships.

Therefore, Song Guoqing's words just now were a reminder to him.

Finally, Song Guoqiang patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Remember your uncle's words, do more practical things, and lay a more solid foundation."

To be honest, Song Guoqiang was quite satisfied with his son-in-law.

Although Lin Xiao's current achievements are inseparable from Wang Yuanze's strong support, his pioneering achievements also fully demonstrate Lin Xiao's keen awareness and extraordinary vision, which is relatively rare among the younger generation.

"Okay, Dad."

"Oh, right, show the wedding video to Grandpa and Grandma later."

"Okay, Dad."

After seeing off the elders from Beicheng, Lin Xiao and her family returned to Fengshan.

Song Minghao called early in the morning, saying that he and a few other young people would not be going back with their elders; they wanted to stay and make a ruckus in the bridal chamber.

In addition, Lin Xiao called Liu Yun and Liang Pan, while Song Wanqing also called Zhong Xue over.

Actually, I mainly wanted to host a special banquet for them.

Before, with elders present, everyone was a bit reserved, but now that it's all young people, it's naturally become incredibly lively.

In the evening, the old Lin family residence in Fengshan was bustling with activity, filled with laughter and joy.

Everyone drank and chatted happily, having a wonderful time.

Seeing Lin Xiao and Song Wanqing's loving relationship, Zhong Xue gradually went from feeling lost to feeling relieved.

Life, sometimes, is truly as lonely as snow.

But life often closes one door while opening another window in another place.

The following morning, Lin Xiao and his wife took Song Minghao and the others to Fengdu.

Afterwards, they returned to their small home in the city.

Lin Xiao used some of his stocks to pay the down payment for the house, and the remaining amount was financed through a combination loan, with monthly payments made from his salary and housing provident fund.

The main reason for deciding to buy a house in the city center is that Song Wanqing will be transferred from the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department.

Therefore, they will be living in the city for a long time to come.

This makes it convenient for the two of them to get together and also makes it easier for them to "make a baby".

Before marriage, everything is fine, but after marriage, this matter will inevitably be put on the agenda.

Not only will the husband's family urge them, but the wife's family will also be anxious.

This residential community was developed by Dayuan Real Estate. It has a beautiful environment and fresh air. There is a park just 100 meters away from the community, where you can take a leisurely stroll. About 200 meters to the right is a first-class middle school, and further ahead is an experimental primary school. To the left is a top-tier hospital that is about to be completed and put into use.

However, Lin Xiao went through all the proper procedures for buying the house, and Zhao Binyuan only learned about it after he had completed all the payment processes.

Zhao Binyuan tried to offer him discounts under the guise of corporate group purchases or internal preferential treatment, but Lin Xiaowan refused.

Sitting on the living room sofa, Lin Xiao and Song Wanqing snuggled together, quietly watching TV, occasionally letting out exclamations and laughter. The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, and their time together was filled with the same kind of happiness.

The two spent the entire afternoon at their small apartment in the city, and then returned to Fengshan in the evening.

The next morning, Ji Jianghua drove to pick up Lin Xiao for work.

"Congratulations, County Magistrate."

As soon as I arrived at the office, Deputy County Head Qi Mingchen knocked on the door and came in.

News of the wedding had already spread, and Qi Mingchen was both shocked and somewhat disappointed because he wasn't on the guest list.

However, he was somewhat comforted when he learned that only Zhu Lishu and He Zhiqiang from the county had gone to participate.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that, for whatever reason, his relationship with Lin Xiao was far from being enough for him to attend a wedding.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

There are a few people in the county with whom I have a close relationship, so I'll ask them to come separately.

Qi Mingchen laughed and said, "Alright then, you'd better have a few more drinks then."

He then reported on the progress of the Zhongdingyuan Metal Mine project, noting that it was progressing steadily and that efficiency was continuously improving.

In addition, the restructuring of Xinyuan Coal Mine is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the resettlement of miners has been particularly well received.

"Next, we will intensify our efforts to rectify the scattered, small, and disorderly private coal mines. First, we will severely crack down on illegal mining activities; second, we will conduct a comprehensive cleanup of small coal mines that have been privately contracted out, shutting them down or reclaiming them as necessary."

I suggest organizing a joint inspection operation involving public security, national security, and land resources departments to conduct a large-scale survey of all mining areas in the county. This would not only protect Zhongdingyuan's legitimate interests but also facilitate overall planning by the county.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's proceed according to your plan. I'll contact the relevant departments, and you should implement it as soon as possible."

"Yes, County Head."

Qi Mingchen had just left the office when Hu Jizu knocked on the door and came in.

He came to report on the Changning River Valley cultural tourism project, mainly saying that Huajiang TV's filming was done very well, not only for the program "Childhood in the Countryside," but also for the program team to cooperate with Dayuan Company to film promotional materials.

Hu Jizu said with anticipation, "County Chief, I think the program will have a better promotional effect on Fuchuan, and our cultural tourism projects will definitely become even more popular."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "In addition to promoting the program, we also need to do a good job in all-round publicity and reporting, and at the same time, we need to do a good job in service management to ensure that tourists have a good time and strive to leave them with a good impression. That's how a good reputation will come about."

Hu Jizu nodded and said, "I discussed it with the Dayuan operations team, and given the good results of the singing competition in the early stage, we decided to launch local folk song and dance, flower drum and folk instrumental music competitions in due course. At the same time, we will hold a talent competition on the water stage. These can be aimed at professionals as well as ordinary people."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, these are all good ideas. We need to plan well, consider timeliness, and pay more attention to localization..."

Lin Xiao's thinking is very clear: if we want to really develop the Changning River Valley tourism belt, we still need to be rooted in the local culture.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Xiao looked up and saw Hu Qingqing standing at the door with a blank expression.

"Is the county head free? The Party Secretary would like to invite you over to discuss something."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Upon seeing this, Hu Jizu took his leave and came out.

Lin Xiao was a little curious about Juliet's current attitude.

After all, he had already thoroughly "slapped her in the face," and at the wedding, he showed her his powerful connections.

"Hmph, they didn't even tell me they were getting married, that's really not very nice," Hu Qingqing muttered under her breath.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then pretended not to hear.

For some things, time is the best healer.

"The county magistrate is here," Hu Qingqing said before returning to her workstation.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao appear at the door, Zhu Lishu greeted her with a beaming smile.

"Xiao Lin, you're newly married, why are you at work so early? I was thinking of giving you a few more days of honeymoon leave. Is everything arranged at home?" Zhu Lishu said with a smile.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary. Everything is arranged. My wife will soon be transferred to work in the city, so we won't have to travel between the two places anymore."

Zhu Lishu nodded: "Good, good, you two are a typical example of husband and wife working together. If your wife is assigned to work in the municipal propaganda department, then the county's propaganda work will have another channel to connect with higher levels."

These past two days, I've been thinking about how to promote the development of the cultural tourism industry in Fuchuan County. Through the development of the Changning River Valley tourism belt, Fuchuan's cultural tourism industry has shown great vitality. We must strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of the momentum, proactively strengthen promotion, and maintain this momentum…”

Juliet said a long string of words.

Lin Xiao listened attentively, but smiled silently to herself.
