When the car stopped at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Fengsheng greeted Lin Yifeng and offered to take Xiao Guo home.
Lin Yifeng, on the other hand, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some drinks.
He had just bought a bottle of water and was about to leave when he heard several elderly men and women chatting idly in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sigh, I don't know what the county was thinking, sending the Japanese here."
"Haven't you heard? They say the county is going to take land for the Japanese to build a factory."
"I heard that Lao Guo's land is about to be seized, and his daughter works in a government department, doesn't she?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. I won't give those little devils any land. Damn it, they make money here, and I'm already being lenient by not killing them."
"That day, a young man came and asked if everyone would support the Japanese opening a factory here. I support you, XXX."
"Young man, how did you end up becoming a traitor?"
"My dad found out, and he's been polishing his cleaver these past few days, determined to chop one up no matter what."
"You have to keep an eye on the old man. I remember he killed a lot of Japanese soldiers back then. If he gets really angry, something bad might happen."
"Yes, we live in a society governed by the rule of law now, so let's not cause trouble for the country."
Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow after hearing this, a hint of doubt in his expression.
Something's not right here.
Logically speaking, if there are any plans within the government, they should be discussed internally first.
Even before this matter has been finalized, people outside the public have already started discussing it.
To put it bluntly, it's like someone leaking information first to gauge public opinion.
It couldn't have been the Gongcheng government that did this. Lin Yifeng had tried asking Xiao Guo a few times on the way, but she was tight-lipped and didn't seem like the kind of person who would reveal information.
Thinking about it that way, the problem must lie with the foreign investors.
So here's the question: if the opening statement is something that benefits the people and can provide jobs, why is it necessary to consider public opinion?
Lin Yifeng felt increasingly suspicious about the matter.
After Guo Fengsheng returned humming a little tune, he reminded him after getting into the car.
"Old Guo, let's split up tomorrow. You go back to Muye and drive Xiao Guo around the countryside to ask around."
"I'm going to check on Mixue Ice Cream's business."
"I don't think this foreign investment issue is that simple."
Guo Fengsheng looked surprised when Lin Yifeng suddenly shifted the topic to foreign investment.
"Okay, Brother Feng, I understand."
Guo Fengsheng looked solemn and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
He had long disliked those Japanese devils, and Lin Yifeng's words made him even more suspicious of their intentions.
However, halfway there, Lin Yifeng saw Guo Fengsheng's serious expression and intentionally teased him.
"By the way, Lao Guo."
"You should take better care of yourself."
"We're only going to the countryside for a few days this time, so don't cause any deaths."
Guo Fengsheng was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Lin Yifeng was talking about.
But he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to explain himself.
"No, no, Brother Feng, don't talk nonsense."
"Her surname is Guo, and so am mine; it's just fate."
"Besides, she's three years older than me, so she's like my older sister."
Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously.
"elder sister?"
"Isn't that perfect?"
"It's okay, I understand, I understand. Sister, you're so great, you're wonderful."
"My sister is so sensible. She knows to change positions as soon as her bottom is patted."
When Guo Fengsheng saw Lin Yifeng teasing him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, judging from Lin Yifeng's perspective over the years, something is bound to happen between these two.
Putting aside everything else, people in this era are still relatively simple and honest, and there aren't many people with complicated thoughts.
This "Little Guo" just happens to suit Guo Fengsheng's taste, so he is naturally quite suitable.
As for how Guo Fengsheng handles the relationship, Lin Yifeng doesn't care; Guo Fengsheng can definitely handle it himself.
That evening, Lin Yifeng drove Guo Fengsheng back to Muye City.
The next morning, the two drove to Gongcheng one after the other.
After arriving in Gongcheng, Guo Fengsheng drove to pick up Xiao Guo, while Lin Yifeng went to the residential area to look for the second Mixue Ice Cream store.
The morning's negotiations with the shops here didn't go so smoothly.
Apart from the small restaurant from yesterday, the remaining shops showed no intention of selling. The last chance was a fruit shop, but they were only able to make a living because they were a bit far from the market, though they could still do so thanks to the foot traffic.
The family was somewhat inclined to agree to the price offered by Lin Yifeng, but they were also worried that their business would not be as good as before after moving away.
This hesitation made them unsure whether they should agree to Lin Yifeng's request.
After a busy morning, Lin Yifeng found Guo Fengsheng and Xiao Guo around noon.
After a morning together, the two had clearly grown closer, with Guo Fengsheng starting to take extra gentlemanly care of Xiao Guo.
The three of them had lunch together, and the whole table reeked of the sweet and sour smell of romance.
This made Lin Yifeng the third wheel for the two of them.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Guo Fengsheng took yesterday's boss and Xiao Guo to complete the formalities in the afternoon.
With Xiao Guo by their side, this trip won't be too easy for them.
In the afternoon, Guo Fengsheng went to the Housing and Construction Bureau. By the end of the day, he had already processed most of the other permits there. In the evening, Guo Fengsheng even took Xiao Guo back to Muye City, planning to show her around.
Lin Yifeng turned a blind eye to this matter; as long as Lao Guo was happy, he wouldn't say anything.
