When Li Lin finished the meeting, the hands of the clock on the wall had quietly approached eleven o'clock.

Inside the government auditorium, the crowd that had been quietly listening to the meeting now surged forward like a tidal wave.

The cadres above the section level walked hurriedly, exuding an air of competence. They each walked towards the special car, and the black cars were neatly arranged like a disciplined guard.

The car door opened gently, and the cadres got on one by one. The vehicle drove away slowly, and the sound of the engine gradually dissipated in the distance. I don’t know whether they were rushing back to the unit to continue their busy work, or looking for a quiet place to drink tea, chat and take a break.

The deputy section cadres left the meeting in different ways. Some chose to walk, in groups of three or five, discussing the main points of the meeting enthusiastically, occasionally interspersed with prospects and jokes about work.

Some drove themselves, and before getting in the car, they did not forget to greet acquaintances who were attending the conference warmly, shaking hands and patting shoulders in one smooth move. Then they left at lightning speed, leaving behind only a little dust.

In a blink of an eye, the government backyard returned to its former tranquility.

The bustling scene just now seemed like just a short dream.

The female colleagues from the government office's conference affairs group, dressed in uniform black uniforms and standing straight, walked out of the auditorium with empty kettles in their hands, and the kettles in their hands seemed to be endowed with a bit of elegance.

Then, the cleaning staff walked steadily into the auditorium with mops and brooms, ready to clean up the traces left by the meeting, making the auditorium tidy again and waiting for the next grand event.

Li Lin was the last one to come out of the auditorium, followed by several deputy county heads, who were still immersed in work discussions, with focused expressions. They gestured as they walked, constantly talking about the details and plans of various tasks.

Their words included both a summary of the current work progress and a discussion of future development directions. Every word and sentence was closely related to the development of the entire county.

Joan and the drivers of several deputy county governors had been waiting by the car for a long time.

They looked forward to it, their eyes fixed on the exit of the auditorium.

Especially Qiao An, ever since she heard that developers in the county could sell houses at preferential prices as long as the county leaders said hello, she felt like there was a kitten scratching in her heart and she was impatient.

He thought over and over again in his mind. On the one hand, he couldn't wait to tell Cui Xinyu the good news in person, imagining her surprise after hearing it. On the other hand, he was eager to ask Li Lin for help as soon as possible, hoping that Li Lin could say hello to Zhao Chengqiang.

He thought that even if he couldn't get the house for free, it would be a great thing if he could get a 20% discount. If he borrowed some more money, he could pay the full amount and he wouldn't have to be suffocated by the heavy loan in the future.

Li Lin, Deputy County Magistrate Han and others stood in the open space outside the auditorium and started another round of heated discussion.

They expressed their opinions on an important project plan, and the discussion was heated, completely ignoring the crowd around them that was gradually dispersing.

After an in-depth exchange, they each took a car to their next work location.

After Li Lin got in the car, he immediately lowered his head and flipped through the black leather notebook in his hand.

He frowned, as if some information in the notebook made him worried.

From time to time, he took out a pen and made some marks on the notebook, or wrote down additional content, or circled the key points for further in-depth research later.

Qiao An looked through the rearview mirror at Li Lin, who was concentrating on studying his notebook. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

Li Lin didn't even raise his head and quickly replied, "Go to the county party committee."

Qiao An nodded slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove towards the county party committee like an arrow.

Along the way, Qiao An's heart was in turmoil, as if she had a little rabbit in her arms.

He wanted to speak several times, but swallowed his words back.

The scenery outside the car window flashed by quickly like a slide show, but he had no intention of appreciating it.

When the car was about to reach the county party committee, he gritted his teeth and stammered to Li Lin in the back seat, "Brother, I need your help with something."

Li Lin closed the notebook and looked at Qiao An, who was holding the steering wheel in the driver's seat, with interest. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me what you want to say."

Qiao An's tense mood suddenly relaxed a little, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I want to buy a house, but I'm short of money. Can you help me talk to the developers in the county and ask them to give me a better price? Then I can borrow some money to pay the full amount. I won't have to live with a loan anymore, and I'll have more money on hand. Xinyu won't complain so much."

After listening to Qiao An's words, Li Lin fell into deep thought.

Saying hello may seem simple, but for a county magistrate like him, there are many considerations involved.

He knew very well that a phone call from him meant he owed the other party a favor.

Favors between ordinary people may not mean much, but the favor owed by the county magistrate is not light.

Maybe the other party will give Qiao An a discount of 100,000 today, and will come to me for a big project tomorrow, earning hundreds of thousands or even more from other places.

Moreover, the person you greet is also crucial. If it is someone you know well, with whom you have close contacts and know each other well, you may still be able to greet them, because you know that they will not use this to embarrass you.

But if it is a stranger, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Li Lin hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

He understands the difficulties faced by ordinary people in buying houses, and it is human nature for him to ask acquaintances and connections for discounts.

So, he asked, "Which property are you planning to buy? I'll ask Yu Pei or Director Wang to find out who developed it. If they know them, I'll ask them to put a call on your behalf."
