He thought that it would be inappropriate for him to come forward directly, so it might be a good idea to hand the matter over to Wang Songlin or Zhang Yupei and ask them to say hello.
As long as Wang Songlin makes a phone call to the other party and introduces Qiao An as his driver, the other party will probably give him some face.
However, when Qiao An heard Li Lin's words, she felt a little disappointed.
He felt that the impact of Wang Songlin or Zhang Yupei's appearance would definitely be far less than that of Li Lin's personal call.
In his opinion, if Wang Songlin came forward, the other party might be able to give a discount of only about 8,000 yuan at most, but it would be impossible to get a 20% discount.
Moreover, if Wang Songlin can get it done by coming forward, then as the county magistrate's driver, he can directly talk to the developer under the banner of Li Lin, and perhaps the effect will be better. Even if he can't get a 20% discount, a 10% discount can still save a lot of money.
The smile on Qiao An's face gradually faded, and with a hint of displeasure in her tone, she said, "Brother, I think you should make the call yourself. I'm afraid Director Wang and his men won't be strong enough. You also know that the money I have is far from enough to buy a house. If I borrow a lot of debt, my life will be in trouble in the future."
Li Lin could sense Qiao An's urgency, but he still patiently explained again, "I've already told you, I'll make up for the difference. It's not that I won't call you, but I owe others a favor when I make a call. You may get a big benefit, but I will have to pay back the favor later, and the price I pay may be several times the benefit you get. Besides, I don't want to have too much contact with local businessmen. You can't get involved with this kind of people. Once you get involved, you can't get rid of them for the rest of your life."
Qiao An listened to Li Lin's words, not quite understanding them.
Although he didn't quite understand the complicated official relationships that Li Lin mentioned, he didn't want to make things difficult for Li Lin.
So, he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, let Director Wang give a heads up first and see how much discount we can give."
Seeing that Qiao An was a little disappointed, Li Lin comforted her, "I'll give you the money tonight, and you can take as much as you want. Buying a house is a lifelong thing, so try to buy one in a community with a good location and good services."
After hearing this, Qiao An felt a warm current in his heart, and said caringly, "Brother, I understand."
The car soon arrived at the county party committee.
Li Lin took the notebook and hurried upstairs to Liu Yong's office.
The county government has formulated new strategic goals for economic development for the whole year, which is related to the future development direction of the entire county. He needs to exchange views with Liu Yong so that he can convene a standing committee meeting after the New Year to discuss and vote on it.
Li Lin also has his own office in the county party committee. Since he holds dual positions as deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county mayor, he has to take into account both party and government work, so he often runs between the county government and the county party committee, and even spends more time in the county party committee than in the county government.
Before going upstairs, Li Lin had already called Wang Songlin in the car, briefly explaining that Qiao An had something to do and asked him to help.
When Wang Songlin received the call, he immediately agreed.
As an office director, he is fully aware of his responsibilities. No matter whether it is official or personal matter, as long as it is a task assigned by the leader, he will try his best to complete it satisfactorily even if there are many difficulties. Only in this way can he be considered a qualified office director.
Li Lin estimated that he would have to stay at the county party committee until noon, and would most likely have lunch in the county party committee cafeteria.
Seeing Qiao An was so anxious, he said to him, "You don't have to wait here, go directly to Wang Songlin to discuss buying a house."
After hearing this, Qiao An was full of anticipation. He also wanted to know how much discount the developer could give him based on Wang Songlin's reputation.
So he quickly agreed, turned around and drove back to the county government.
At this time, in the government office, Wang Songlin was sitting at his desk, wearing a pair of white gloves and carefully rubbing a sandalwood bracelet.
He is a meticulous person and has a special liking for antiques such as walnuts and bracelets.
The bracelet in his hand has been played with for a long time, and the surface has a layer of warm patina, which emits a soft luster under the sunlight.
He looked at the bracelet carefully and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He held the bracelet in his palm, and with the help of the reflection of the sunlight, he stared at the oil spots oozing out of the pores of the sandalwood beads. Those oil spots were sparkling, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, beautiful and charming.
"Oh, it's so beautiful..."
Wang Songlin couldn't help but let out a sigh, and his voice was full of love and admiration for the bracelet, as if the bracelet in front of him was the most precious treasure in the world.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence in the office and interrupting Wang Songlin's thoughts.
He put down his bracelet, took off his gloves, straightened his clothes, looked up at the door, and said in a loud voice, "Come in."
With a "creak", the door slowly opened and Qiao An appeared at the door with a smile on her face.
Wang Songlin recognized Qiao An at a glance, and quickly stood up with a smile, and warmly welcomed him to sit on the sofa.
While he was busy pouring tea for Qiao An, he picked up the cigarette box from the table, handed her a cigarette, and said, "Xiao Qiao, come and sit down."
In theory, Qiao An's salary is paid by the government office. In a sense, he is an employee of the government office, and Wang Songlin is his direct supervisor.
Now, Qiao An had to make his leader run around for a small driver like him, and he felt really bad about it.
He quickly stood up, took the teacup and cigarette with both hands, and said, "Director Wang, please don't bother, I can do it myself."
As he spoke, he asked Wang Songlin to return to his seat, then smiled and explained his purpose, "Director Wang, County Magistrate Li asked me to come to you, saying that you have connections and can help me contact the county's developers..."
