Li Lin quickly broke free...
As luck would have it, Zhang Yupei knocked on the door and came in, followed by Tong Xiaoxuan...
When Zhang Yupei saw Li Lin discussing work with Yuan Meng and how close they were, he was startled, thinking he had discovered some secret of his leader.
Just as he was about to leave, Tong Xiaoxuan pushed the door open and walked in.
She stared straight at Li Lin and Yuan Meng...
It seems to be saying, you are a good county party secretary! You have female subordinates serving you during working hours... All men are really bad!
Li Lin quickly stood up and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, you're here."
Tong Xiaoxuan said with a sullen face, "Am I here at the wrong time?"
Li Lin laughed and said, "No way, this is our deputy county magistrate Yuan Meng. We are discussing a project and we have already finished it... Come in... Yupei, pour some tea!"
After all, I only saw Li Lin and Yuan Meng close to each other, and I didn't see them doing anything out of the ordinary.
Tong Xiaoxuan didn't want to make trouble in public, but he remembered the scene in his heart. He thought to himself, Li Lin, don't let me catch you being unfaithful to Wenwen. By then, don't say you are the county party secretary, even if you are the municipal party secretary, I will make you miserable!
Although Li Lin didn't do anything bad, he still felt a little panicked when facing the serious Tong Xiaoxuan.
I thought that if she misunderstood this and it got to Wenwen's ears, I would have no way to explain myself.
So he became more attentive to his sister-in-law and personally served her tea and water.
Yuan Meng saw that Li Lin had a guest, so he stood up and said, "Secretary, if you have something to do, I will leave first and report to you later."
Li Lin stopped her and said, "Wait a minute... Let me introduce you, this is Ms. Tong from Yanjing, my sister-in-law... I have a meeting to attend later, you can accompany Ms. Tong to the tea village, taste tea and enjoy the natural scenery... I will find you when I am done."
Yuan Meng looked at Tong Xiaoxuan and smiled, saying, "Hello, Mr. Tong, I am Yuan Meng, the deputy head of Shannan County Government... If you don't mind, I'll go with you..."
Tong Xiaoxuan drank a sip of water with a sullen face, without looking at her or expressing his opinion.
This made Yuan Meng feel very embarrassed for a moment... She felt that the noble lady in front of her looked down on people...
Li Lin said, "Deputy County Magistrate Yuan, please go and inform the tea village to prepare to receive the distinguished guests. I will go downstairs after chatting with Mr. Tong for a while."
Yuan Meng nodded and walked out.
After leaving the house, she muttered angrily, "What is this Beijing Tong Zong? Why is he so arrogant? I am the deputy county magistrate of Shannan after all, why don't you give me any face?"
She also had a temper, but she had restrained herself a lot since she came to the county. Especially since the other party was Li Lin's sister-in-law, she could only complain a few words and could do nothing about it.
In the office.
Looking at Tong Xiaoxuan's gloomy face, Li Lin changed the subject and said, "Sister-in-law, this tea village is a new project that our county is preparing. The tea produced by the tea trees there is still very famous in Hanjiang... I see that you are also a tea lover, why not go for a walk and have a taste of tea. If you don't like it there, we also have the Kaoshan Town Scenic Area, and I will have someone take you there when the time comes..."
He had no intention of explaining his behavior to Tong Xiaoxuan from the beginning, because he hadn't done anything wrong, so what was there to explain? Wouldn't it just make things worse?
Li Lin thought, your misunderstanding is your business. I won’t take the initiative to explain anything because of your misunderstanding. Think whatever you want!
Tong Xiaoxuan did not dwell on the scene just now, put down the teacup and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't have any other plans today, so I'll just take a look around Shannan. However, don't let that Deputy County Chief Yuan follow me. I don't like people who talk all the time..."
This is because she thinks Yuan Meng is too young and they have nothing in common.
Li Lin smiled and nodded, "I'll make arrangements. Okay, I'll let my secretary go with you. When you get there, the township party secretary will receive you. She's in her thirties and a calm person. Maybe you two can have a good chat."
Tong Xiaoxuan nodded, stood up and followed Zhang Yupei downstairs.
She just left.
Li Lin took out his cell phone and called Yang Ping, saying, "Sister Ping, Mr. Tong from Beijing wants to visit your Weishui Township. Please accompany him."
Yang Ping readily agreed, "How dare I disobey your orders, Secretary Li? Don't worry, I will give you the highest standard of reception... By the way, when will the administrative operating funds for our township be paid? The township is almost struggling to make ends meet... It's fine if you don't increase the amount, but at least you should do it in a timely manner, right?"
Li Lin smiled and said, "You are still crying poor? Longjian's project has already given you a lot of money, and you still think it's not enough? Save some money, the county's finances are also in trouble now. Once the ancient city project starts construction, life will be better."
Yang Ping sighed and said, "It's you... If Secretary Liu was still in charge, I would have gone to his house right now!"
Li Lin said, "I'm not afraid of you coming to my house... At worst, I can treat you to a good meal in the cafeteria at noon..."
Yang Ping smiled and said, "If I eat your meal, I will give us hundreds of thousands less... This meal is a bit expensive, so I won't eat it. By the way, didn't you say last time that you had something good to tell me? What was it? Can you tell me now?"
Nothing has been done yet, and Li Lin has not formally submitted his request to the Municipal Party Committee, so this matter cannot be discussed now.
Li Lin said, "Just wait patiently... I'll tell you when it's done."
Yang Ping said helplessly, "You are always like this. You pique people's interest, but then you stop talking... It makes people feel itchy. I always suspect that you do it on purpose."
Seeing that the topic was going off topic, Li Lin quickly stopped talking and said, "Okay, okay, I'm busy with the project recently. I'll take care of your business in the next two days and let you know as soon as there's any news."
