Xu Wen curled her lips and said, "I want you to come, why do you bring gifts? Even if you send a cart of gold, can it replace you?... But my old man said that since you are so thoughtful, he will let you drink a few more glasses when we meet."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll have to drink three cups as punishment. I'll make the old man happy, okay?"

At this time, Xu Wen changed the subject, as if she had something on her mind, and said, "Xiao Linzi, I want to ask you something."

Li Lin said, "You speak, I'm all ears."

Xu Wen said, "If one day you find out that I cheated on you, will you be angry?"

Li Lin thought Xu Wen was being naughty again, so he didn't take it seriously and immediately laughed, "Will you lie to me?"

Xu Wen said coquettishly, "Oh, let me tell you something serious. Tell me honestly, if one day you find out that I lied to you, will you be angry?"

Li Lin then became serious and felt a little curious. Could it be that Xu Wen was really hiding something from him?

He smiled slightly and said, "Wenwen, I believe you. Even if you lied to me, you must have been forced to do so, so I won't be angry."

"Really?" Xu Wen was very surprised and smiled, "Xiao Linzi, you are so kind. I love you so much."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Can you tell me now what you are hiding from me?"

Xu Wen pouted and smiled, "No, I just want to know how you would react if I lied to you... Don't think too much, there's really nothing."

Li Lin said generously, "You are so naughty. Can you take precautions against this kind of thing?"

But he already felt something strange in his heart. He knew Xu Wen was thin-skinned, not the kind of person who was very scheming, and didn't know how to lie. Since she said this, she must be looking for an opportunity to confess something to Li Lin.

What could it be?

Could it be that she wanted to confess her past emotional experiences?

Probably.

But who hasn’t had a relationship? It’s the past...why bother?

Li Lin never asked, which meant he never minded.

He has always advocated that people should look forward, look back less, and just keep the good things in their hearts.

After the two hung up the phone, colorful lights appeared outside the window, and someone was setting off fireworks from far away.

He stopped at the window and admired silently.

The next morning, Li Lin came to the office as usual.

According to convention, on the first day after the Spring Festival, the county magistrate will bring members of the government team to visit and express condolences to various units on the government building.

Ask what difficulties the unit faces that need to be resolved urgently in the new year.

As expected, after visiting several units, the first thing they mentioned when they mentioned difficulties was "lack of funds."

Of course, no leader would be stupid enough to ask the county magistrate for money directly. They would always express their opinions in a tactful way, saying, "It would be great if the office environment could be upgraded... Could a few public welfare positions be provided?... Could a batch of office computers be upgraded?"

When the deputy county governors heard these questions, they all smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and looked at Li Lin to see how he would respond.

When Ma Qingyuan was around, he usually smiled and didn't express his opinion, or said ambiguously, "Let's see what the county's financial situation is this year..."

Everyone knows that the phrase “let’s talk about it later” basically means a complete denial.

However, Li Lin was different. He asked Zhang Yupei to write down the questions raised by the heads of various units one by one, and then said to them, "I remember them. You do a good job and I will provide you with good logistical support!"

This instantly ignited hope in everyone's hearts. A better tomorrow seemed to be just around the corner. As long as there was sufficient funding, there was no job that could not be done well.

Li Lin thought, I will give you sufficient funds, you have to give me a satisfactory answer, if you can't give it by then, don't blame me for not being gentle...

As the second-in-command of Shannan and the head of the county government, it is impossible for him to be involved in every detail. The most direct and effective way of management is to only look at the final result.

It was almost noon when I got back to the office.

I had just sat down on the chair and my butt wasn't even warm yet when Yang Heping called.

Li Lin wanted to ask him "Happy New Year", but before he could say anything, Yang Heping said hurriedly.

"Xiao Lin, Wu Aiguo has surrendered himself to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He has clearly explained in writing all his violations of discipline and law... I am now officially informing you that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has detained him, waiting for further investigation of the case and transferring it to the judicial authorities for handling in accordance with the law."
