Chapter 1031: Unusual Popularity!
Secretary Wang put his hands behind his back: "If I go and say anything more, we'll all be packed up and thrown out! You can't refuse, and neither can I. I'll go back right now and report you for violating organizational discipline..."
"Hey, you! Fine, I'll go! This is so boring!" Wei Yue was speechless and had no choice but to go find Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took the incense from the old lady, bowed to heaven and earth, and then stuck it into the ground, which is their local custom.
Once the incense has burned down to almost nothing, firecrackers will be set off, and then the feast can be served.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou."
Gu Yin turned around and saw Wei Yue looking at her with a conflicted expression.
Puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Um, well, is it against the rules for us to eat here? After all, your drinks and stuff don't seem to be cheap."
When the county magistrate came to our house, he asked the same question. But that's normal. The wine we're drinking today was brought back from Beijing. It wasn't a gift from someone else; Wang Yanzhi bought it herself, and it's quite valuable.
It's normal to have this concern.
"Eat without worry, it's okay. You can stay at home tonight, no need to drive back."
Moreover, she has other people secretly protecting her, as well as Chi Xing and Gu Ran, so there's no need to worry about her safety.
After receiving Gu Yin's reply, Wei Yue grinned and nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk to the others and make the arrangements."
Although permission was granted, those on duty were still not allowed to drink alcohol.
After the firecrackers were set off, the long wooden dining table, which hadn't been used for a long time, was brought out.
"This wood is good. It's been several years and there are no insect infestations, but some parts have turned black."
Gu Jianguo wiped it with a rag, tapped it, and said with a smile.
Gu Qinglang also tapped it: "It's an old tree that Big Brother cut down from the back mountain. If you apply oil to it regularly, it will last longer. I'll apply oil to it again tomorrow."
"I remember we still have some oil at home, I'll look for it later. Okay! Let's eat first! The roast lamb and roast suckling pig aren't quite done yet, let's bring out the stir-fries and soup first, I'll go call the village chief and the others over!"
The old lady brought out the bowls and chopsticks, gave some instructions, and then prepared to walk towards the door.
"Grandma, call Xiaohua too!" Gu Yin had called Li Xiaohua before, but there were too many people here, and she was worried that she wouldn't dare to come.
"OK!"
Li Li and his grandmother did not come back this year; instead, they went to the port city to celebrate the Lunar New Year with his master.
Li Xiaoming was with the award-winning actress promoting the Spring Festival films and did not return.
Therefore, the only people in the village with whom they had a good relationship were Li Xiaohua and the village chief's family.
Ten minutes later, Li Xiaohua arrived with the village chief and his son.
"Where's the village chief's wife? Why didn't she come over?" Gu Yin wondered, not seeing the village chief's wife.
Li Sen waved his hand: "My sister went home. She's staying with us for a day. Don't worry about her, we'll eat our own food!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin beckoned to Li Xiaohua: "Come sit next to me!"
With so many strangers around, Li Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed, but when Gu Yin called her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone sat down, Gu Yin asked with a smile, "When are you going to school?"
"Our semester starts relatively late, but I want to go there to study earlier, so I'll leave after the eighth day of the lunar new year. What about you, when are you going back to Beijing? Ah, no, no, you don't need to answer! I know it's a confidentiality agreement!"
Li Xiaohua had spoken too quickly. Later, when she thought about Gu Yin's identity and the people who came with her, she realized that she couldn't possibly find out about Gu Yin's itinerary.
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head upon hearing this: "It's alright. The itinerary isn't a secret. I'll be in the city for a while. I've opened a school here that focuses on special talents. You can take a look at it later."
"I saw online that it's about superpowers, is that right?"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "You already know that online?" she said, taking out her phone.
"Yeah! It's trending at number one! Everyone's saying you're definitely researching something incredible! The country is cooperating with you! It feels like you're doing something big! Some people even say that according to inside information, you've developed a drug that gives people superpowers! People in the country are also speculating that recently, someone there said there was an unidentified object next to you that they suspected might not be human. All signs indicate that you're doing something incredible, something that could even change the world order!!! Is this true, Ah Yin?!"
As she continued, Li Xiaohua became excited, her eyes shining as she looked at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin looked through her phone and found that the buzz was even greater than she had imagined!
Apart from one or two celebrities, all of the top ten trending topics were about her.
The authorities didn't intervene and allowed the information to spread freely, which caused many people to become somewhat fanatical!
Gu Yin frowned: "You guessed right, but this level of fervor is a bit abnormal. It must be foreign interference. Let me ask them first."
Wei Yue, who was on the other side, had been observing Gu Yin. Seeing her like this, he immediately made arrangements, and the wine that had been poured was returned to Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang: "???"
"do what?"
Wei Yue shook his head: "Forget it, I won't drink anymore. I need to be on patrol tonight. I'll drink another time if I have the chance! Just eat the food!"
Gu Yin contacted the old leader, and the call was quickly answered.
"Isn't what's happening online a bit unusual?"
"Someone instigated it, but it's nothing serious, everything is under control. Be careful when you go out after tomorrow, and try not to go out alone. If the mission in your hometown is successful, Chu Yan may return openly ahead of schedule, so your safety is the most important thing!"
After the old leader finished speaking, Gu Yin fell silent.
"Coming back early? This year, or..."
The old leader smiled and said, "That depends on your speed. The faster you are, the shorter the time it will take for him to return."
"Okay, I understand. Happy New Year, and may you have a safe and prosperous year, old commander!"
Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best! Looking forward to hearing your good news!
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin paused for a moment, then looked at Li Xiaohua, who was standing beside her worriedly: "It's alright, it's officially permitted. Let's eat!"
