Chapter 25: The Pretty Boy and the Girl with Glasses
Back at the County Hall, Lin Wen found the most detailed map of Changshan County, locked himself in the office, and studied the map carefully.
He had to remember the locations, advantages and disadvantages of all areas in Changshan County so that he could reduce consumption in the subsequent questions and answers.
I have to say that only by looking at the map can you see that Changshan County’s geographical location is really extremely poor.
It is located in the westernmost part of Dongqinzhou, sandwiched between two large mountains, the Yunxiao Mountains to the north and the Taixu Mountains to the south. One-third of the county is mountainous. In addition, there are plains, hills, large and small rivers, swamps, valleys, basins, Gobi and other terrains. The geographical environment is extremely complex.
The extremely complex geographical environment has brought about extremely difficult transportation, and the extremely difficult transportation has brought about an extremely poor environment.
In the entire Changshan County, only a small piece of plain in the east has the atmosphere of modern civilization.
On that small plain are squeezed the two most developed towns in Changshan County: Donghe Town and Huai Town.
As long as you step out of this plain which is less than one-thirtieth of Changshan County, it is like plunging into primitive society, where all modernization disappears.
The further west you go, the more primitive the environment becomes and the weaker the atmosphere of civilization becomes, until you leave the territory of Changshan County.
If Changshan County is compared to a person, then he is like a person who has slipped and fallen into the abyss. This tiny plain is like his hand, clinging to the edge of the cliff, giving him a glimmer of hope.
Now, the flood soaked his body below the neck, increasing his weight. His hands could hardly support him, while the people on the cliff were still watching the show.
Lin Wen fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that the empire is no longer worth saving.
And he hadn't thought of any new way to make money yet - as time went by and the Empire Plan became public, his investment invitation post, which was full of loopholes, had been seen through by many people.
Many people cursed under the post, but fortunately Lin Wen promptly replaced all the text with pictures of spell materials, turning the onlookers who did not know the truth into spell casters, thus preventing the situation from spreading further.
Moreover, due to his outrageous actions, many websites that did not want to change evolved the function of deleting posts, while another part of the websites degenerated into specialized spell material stations, and also lost the conditions for him to make big news.
In addition, I don’t know if it was because of him, but the Empire seemed to have noticed the Internet, and several very anti-human websites became 808.
In this situation, it would be very difficult to cause trouble.
In short, it is almost a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides.
what to do?
He had tried it, but [Immortal Guidance] was still a consumption that he couldn't bear to see.
Is there something missing?
But he had already made so many preparations, and he couldn't think of any other place where he could reduce consumption.
Or is this thing itself almost impossible?
While he was thinking, a girl interrupted him.
"Lin, County Chief Lin, everyone is here. Shall we start the meeting?"
Lin Wen looked up and saw a girl with glasses whom he had never seen before. She had a very innocent look but an impure figure. She looked very nervous because it was her first time talking to a county governor-level figure.
"Who are you?"
The girl with glasses looked a lot more discouraged. "I'm Li Xiaoli, a clerk in the County Governor's Office. County Governor Lin asked Deputy Director Yuan to hand over the work to me. I'm...my..."
Lin Wen thought for a while before he remembered who it was. It turned out to be the successor of the fat man Yuan Zhimen whom he had casually designated.
"Oh, I see. Call them all in."
"Okay, okay." The girl with glasses walked out dejectedly.
"Wait a moment." Lin Wen said, "Push your chest up."
"Huh?" The girl with glasses didn't immediately understand what the county governor meant.
"I mean."
"You are great. Be confident and hold your head high at all times."
A big blush appeared on the face of the girl with glasses. She didn't say anything else and ran out in a panic.
Soon, all 17 people that Lin Wen had requested yesterday came in, and there was no defection.
Lin Wen just said a few simple words.
"From now on, your work location will be in Changle Town. You will eat, live, and work there. Please pack your luggage and set off now."
All 17 people were stunned; no one was used to this way of speaking.
After a while, the portly Yuan Zhimen spoke again: "But, uh, County Governor, have the office location and accommodations been arranged? What should we do first when we get there? Would you like to explain?"
Lin Wen said impatiently, "Go find Huang Mingxiao, the director of the Civil Affairs Department, and make arrangements. Your first task is to assist the temporary command center. Stop talking nonsense and get going."
Everyone then left reluctantly.
There were also 100 security guards accompanying him.
This should relieve some of the staffing pressure.
After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Wen fell into a state of extreme brain strain again.
Now he has nothing to rely on.
Only his wisdom.
That immense wisdom, as high as 250, is unmatched by anyone.
It's just that it's usually in hibernation and only uses half of its performance.
Now, it's time to show your real skills!
Just as Lin Wen was about to explode, another voice interrupted him.
"Hello, County Magistrate Lin."
Six tall and strong bodyguards dressed in black rushed in.
A pretty boy walked up to them and bowed slightly to Lin Wen.
"It's our first meeting, please bear with me."
Lin Wen looked at him unhappily without saying a word.
This pretty boy was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a row of jade pendants tied to his bright red belt. When he bowed, the jade pendants jingled. On his right hand, he also wore a sword, the scabbard of which was decorated with gold and silver patterns, making it look extremely luxurious.
Just looking at his outfit, it's like he traveled back to ancient times, and this young man with a look of superiority is the first person he is about to slap in the face.
"Hey, hey, don't be so cold. I'm here to help you."
He quickly unfolded a white jade folding fan and fanned away his air of superiority, his nostrils raised to the sky.
"Oh?" Lin Wen was a little surprised. "How much money did you bring?"
I thought to myself, "If it's over 10 million, I'll forgive him, otherwise I'll smack his stinky face."
The pretty boy quickly folded his folding fan, his nostrils drooping, his almond-shaped eyes widening on his handsome face. "Money? What money?"
Lin Wen's patience was instantly exhausted, and he shouted, "The girl with glasses, uh, no, what's her name... Li Xiaoli!"
Temporary worker Li Xiaoli ran in: "County, County Chief, what's the matter?" She hid timidly in the corner, not daring to get close to the six big men and the pretty boy.
As soon as the pretty boy saw Li Xiaoli's pretty face, his eyes lit up. Then he saw her proud figure and tight silk blouse, and he floated over, leaned against the wall with one hand, and gently shook the loose hair from his forehead.
"Little sister, what's your name? Can I take you out to play tonight?"
Lin Wen sneered, "Li Xiaoli! Right hand! Hit him!"
Bang!
With a crisp sound, half of the pretty boy's face turned red.
The girl with glasses and the pretty boy were both in disbelief. Li Xiaoli looked at her delicate hand and couldn't believe it could deliver such a ruthless slap, as if at that moment her hand was controlled by the magic in County Mayor Lin's words.
A strange force arose in her heart. She had been the target of bullying for the past twenty years and had never dared to resist. Her father, who had always protected her, had just passed away last year. Now she was about to face the storm of the outside world, and her heart was filled with confusion and fear.
Now they seem to have disappeared.
The pretty boy suffered a thousand points of mental damage. He covered his face and couldn't believe that there was a woman in this world who could resist his charm.
Lin Wen stood up, already waiting for his chance: "Li Xiaoli! Go out and call the Security Department, the Public Security Department, and the Supervisory Office!"
Li Xiaoli turned around and ran out. The pretty boy shouted, "Wait!" and reached out to pull her. A strong man like an iron tower next to her also reached out his hand.
Just as Lin Wen was about to unzip his pants, he saw that the burly man ignored Li Xiaoli and instead grabbed the pretty boy and pressed him down by the waist.
"Master, stop messing around and apologize to the sheriff."
"Let me go, let me go!"
The pretty boy struggled desperately, but it was like a dragonfly trying to shake a pillar. His face flushed crimson, and he knew that continuing the fight would only bring shame upon himself. He whispered, "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Lin, it's my fault."
When Lin Wen saw that he couldn't start a fight, he was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. Although he was disappointed, he was still planning to try to get some money out of this pretty boy to see if he could squeeze some money out of him.
Fortunately, I don’t have to take the risk of wasting my good fortune. What if this pretty boy is just a show-off and actually worthless? Wouldn’t that be a waste?
He sat down and asked, "What on earth are you doing here?"
The burly man said, "We are from the Governor's Guard. Governor Sheng knows you haven't formed a personal guard yet, so he's sent us here to assist you and protect your safety until you do. This is Young Master Li Yuchen, the son of a good friend of the Governor, and our captain."
Lin Wen uttered an "oh," not caring about the underlying meaning behind it. He simply said, "Alright, you are my personal guards now and should obey my orders. Everyone, please leave now and report to the Changle Town temporary command center. You will follow the instructions of Director Huang Mingxiao and assist him in his work."
Pretty boy Li Yuchen jumped up instantly, like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Who do you think you are? The emperor of the empire? We are the governor's personal guards, and you have the right to give us orders? Uncle Jie! Ignore him, let's go back now. I'm going to Uncle Sheng and complain about him!"
Neither the Iron Tower Man nor Lin Wen paid any attention to the pretty boy. They stared at each other for a moment, then the Iron Tower Man withdrew his gaze and replied, "As you command, County Chief Lin."
She dragged the still-making-a-noise pretty boy out, only giving him a deep look before leaving.
