When Yang Shuangping and Li Lin's car stopped steadily in front of the school gate, Principal Yang quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Yang Shuangping open the car door.

"Director Yang, please get out of the car slowly..." Principal Yang said to Yang Shuangping who was getting out of the car with a respectful attitude, like a doorman at the door of a hotel.

Facing the humble Principal Yang, Yang Shuangping didn't even look at him. After getting off the car, he trotted to the car Li Lin was riding in. He wanted to help Li Lin open the door, but Zhang Yupei pushed it open first and got out, and Li Lin followed closely behind... Yang Shuangping felt a little regretful for missing an opportunity to serve his leader.

He smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Li Lin, and said in an extremely respectful manner, "County Magistrate Li, this is the Experimental Primary School, the highest-standard primary school in our county..."

At this time, Li Lin had already seen the school administrators standing at the door. He did not look at Yang Shuangping, but said to him indifferently, "Let's go in and take a look."

"Okay, I'll lead the way for you..." Yang Shuangping led the way diligently with a smile on his face.

At this time, Principal Yang and a group of school administrators had come to greet them. Yang Shuangping smiled and introduced them to Li Lin, "County Magistrate Li, they are the management of Experimental Primary School. This is Principal Yang, and that is the vice principal..."

Li Lin smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one, saying, "Dear principals, you have worked hard."

Principal Yang and others were very moved. It's not like they had never met county leaders before, but they had rarely met county leaders as young and approachable as Li Lin... Although it was just a simple word of condolences, it made them feel very warm in their hearts.

Sometimes this is how work is. You don’t need a grand reward from your leader, just a casual greeting and you feel that everything you do is worth it!

"County Magistrate Li, please come this way. I will take you to see the overall environment of the campus first... This standardized football field and plastic running track were built this year. It is the first of its kind in Shannan County. No other school has such a configuration... And these teaching buildings are also the highest standards in the county..."

Principal Yang led the way, pointed to some facilities on the campus, and introduced them in detail to Li Lin beside him.

Yang Shuangping couldn't help but feel lonely, and boasted about his own achievements, saying, "County Magistrate Li, these high-standard construction projects were not easy to come by. County Magistrate Ma and I went to the Provincial Department of Education for a month to get them. You also know that if the higher-ups don't match us with funds, our county finances simply can't afford the construction costs of such a school."

Li Lin knew this.

Shannan County is poor, especially in recent years, the employees’ wages are almost unguaranteed, and building a new campus is indeed beyond their ability.

Li Lin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "You have indeed made a lot of efforts to win such a large project. The people of Shannan County will definitely remember your kindness, Director Yang."

Hearing Li Lin's praise, Yang Shuangping smiled happily, and waved his hand modestly, saying, "This is my responsibility, this is what I should do, all of this is inseparable from the support of the county leaders, hehe..."

This is the basic skill for leaders of the authorities. They should never take all the credit. This will make them appear humble and broad-minded, which will make people like them.

Li Lin smiled faintly at Yang Shuangping and praised him generously.

Yang Shuangping was so excited that he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Then, under the guidance of Principal Yang, the group came to the office area on the second floor of the teaching building.

At this time, the teachers in the office had already seen Li Lin and his group upstairs, so they were ready to welcome the inspection in advance, sitting at their desks, working hard. Even when Principal Yang brought Li Lin and his group in, these teachers were as steady as a rock, none of them put down their work, but worked even harder.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Li Lin was very pleased to see everyone working hard.

Principal Yang said to everyone, "Everyone stop what you are doing for a moment... County Magistrate Li and Director Yang took time out of their busy schedules to come visit you. Let's applaud and welcome the county leaders!"

The teachers in the room immediately put down their work, stood up one after another, and clapped wildly with smiles on their faces...

Li Lin waved to the crowd and said with a smile, "Teachers, please take a seat. You are the hardworking gardeners of the motherland. I should be the one applauding you. Thank you for your hard work."

The teachers smiled even more brightly upon hearing this, and clapped even more frequently and vigorously.

It wasn't until Principal Yang signaled to everyone that everyone quieted down.

Li Lin smiled and looked around the room. This was a large office that could accommodate eight people at the same time. Each person had a desk, and two public computers were placed in a prominent position...

Li Lin's eyes swept across everyone's face, as if he wanted to remember these hard-working gardeners who silently contributed to the flowers of the motherland. When his eyes fell on Bai Jie, the smile on his face suddenly faded.

Wasn't she teaching in Weishui Township Middle School? How long had she been there? How did she get transferred to the county?

Li Lin was a little surprised, but it was fleeting. The smile on his face returned. He ignored Bai Jie who wanted to speak, turned around and walked out.

Yang Shuangping, Principal Yang and others hurriedly followed, preparing to take Li Lin to the next office.

Watching Li Lin turn and leave, the smile on Bai Jie's face suddenly froze. She wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Li Lin, but Li Lin ignored her... She felt extremely humiliated. So much time had passed, and she didn't understand why Li Lin was still so indifferent to her. Even if they couldn't be lovers, couldn't they be friends?
