Chapter 50 The Clown is Me
Lin Wen immediately said, "Very good, thank you for your hard work. Just leave it there."
He added, "This is Miss Qin, my good friend. Xiuyu, give her one too."
Xiuyu's eyebrows moved, she glanced between the two of them, covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, Master Lin, I'll bring it to your girlfriend right away."
As she walked past Qin Luoshuang, she deliberately whispered in a voice that everyone could hear: "Oh, County Chief Lin is so popular. Every day, hundreds of young girls come to my place to inquire about him. I wonder whose daughter is so lucky to be chosen by a good man like County Chief Lin."
She continued to mutter as she walked away. When she could no longer hear her voice, Lin Wen said awkwardly, "She was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Qin Luoshuang originally wanted to apologize and reconcile, but suddenly she became suspicious: "Is this your trick?"
"What's the trick?"
Lin Wen picked up the lean meat porridge and drank it all in one gulp.
"Again, you're taller, uh, that's nothing, that's not what I meant."
Qin Luoshuang looked at the red fingerprints on his face and suddenly burst out laughing: "Alright, if you can't reach me, then so be it. Anyway, I'm just a commoner now, and you're an official."
Lin Wen coughed and said, "Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. The maximum I can grant you is 110,000 yuan."
This is worth a bit of good karma, Lin Wen felt a little distressed.
Qin Luoshuang played with her hair with her fingers and said absentmindedly, "Okay, okay, it's my fault for living under someone else's roof."
——
After initially finalizing the intelligence work, Lin Wen had to face the issue of money.
Qin Luoshuang made it clear that she was powerless and she only knew how to spend money, not make money.
No way? Are you also going to tap the air with your index finger and say, "You can't support me?"
This brought back some bad memories for Lin Wen, and he immediately forgot about it.
Get down to business!
Damn, I don’t believe that I can’t come up with a solution with my amazing IQ!
After lunch, Qin Luoshuang had returned, and Lin Wen was still scratching his hair.
"Give."
She slapped several lists in front of Lin Wen.
"This is a temporary directory of some information dealers' downline. They're very unreliable. I can only get some commonplace information from them. But I don't have any connections right now. I can't reach higher-end people, and I don't have the money."
"Oh? Any useful information?"
"Don't you want to take a look?" Qin Luoshuang asked in surprise.
"I won't read it. If I ask you to be responsible, then you should take responsibility. Just tell me the conclusion directly."
"Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you? Aren't you afraid I'll do something behind your back? Like colluding with people above and below me, enriching myself, colluding with the outside world? Or even sidelining you when I become powerful?"
"You're so long-winded."
Lin Wen felt that he seemed to have grasped a bright spot just now, but it was lost due to this interruption, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.
He now feels that this Fengchu is not very useful and is far inferior to Zhao Minggong, the Sleeping Dragon.
You know, he didn't care much about Wolong, and now and then he still gets some good luck.
I still need to discipline her and let her be infected by my cuckold spirit, otherwise it will be a big deal if she keeps annoying me like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Wen said to Qin Luoshuang who was about to leave: "Wait a moment."
Qin Luoshuang squinted her eyes at him and asked, "What? Have you figured it out?"
Lin Wen said, "I think you are still very green and immature. You need to be influenced by me."
"What do you want to do?" Qin Luoshuang covered his chest and took two steps back, one hand ready to hold the gun.
"What I mean is that you have good qualifications, but your acquired education is too poor. You need to learn from me before you can go out and do things independently. Do you understand?"
Judging from Qin Luoshuang's expression, she seemed to have heard a huge joke.
But she didn't say anything, just turned around and sat down, deliberately keeping a certain distance.
Lin Wen ignored him and continued to use his IQ of 250 to think about money.
After a while, Xiao Li came running over and shouted:
"Mayor Lin, County Chief Lin, the Construction Corps is here! The Construction Corps has finally returned!"
Lin Wen is now in Changle Town, using an empty house temporarily requisitioned as an office. Xiao Li likes to visit here whenever he has time. He especially misses the glory of the "Lin Li" combination and intends to reunite the "Lin Li" group.
So, whenever something happened, he would rush over, just like he did in Changle Town.
Of course, Lin Wen didn't feel anything about this, and he sent Xiao Li away immediately.
Xiao Li didn't care. He was satisfied with the feeling of running towards him while shouting "Mayor Lin".
That's enough.
After a while, Xiao Li came running back and shouted:
"Oh no, oh no, Mayor Lin, County Chief Lin, the people from the Construction Corps are leaving again!"
"What?" Lin Wen jumped up this time. "What's going on?"
Qin Luoshuang watched coldly on the side without saying a word.
"It seems the leader of the Seventh Construction Corps asked for too high a price, and Director Huang wasn't willing to pay, so the talks broke down!"
"Walk!"
Lin Wen rushed out with big strides, followed by Qin Luoshuang and Xiao Li.
As soon as he left the office, Lin Wen saw a fleet of vehicles parked outside Changle Town, as well as two huge flatbed trailers towing large and small construction vehicles. At a glance, there were at least a dozen vehicles.
Both sides gathered outside the temporary command center. On one side were Huang Mingxiao and others, and on the other side were a dozen foremen. The laborers of the Construction Corps stayed outside the town and did not come in.
Lin Wen strode over and asked directly, "What's going on?"
Huang Mingxiao looked furious and shouted, "Chief Lin! They're asking for an exorbitant price. Last time you came, you offered 3 million for one period of work. Why are you asking for 25 million this time?"
The head of the Seventh Construction Corps was a short, fat man wearing a yellow vest. He had a face full of flesh and said sternly, "Last time was last time, and this time is this time. You've changed the construction drawings, so of course I have to raise the price!"
Huang Mingxiao shouted angrily: "But the workload has clearly decreased!"
The short and fat man sneered, "You didn't even pay us last time, and you came to trick us. You don't want gas money for our whole family? You don't want tolls? We didn't eat or drink, and walked all this way back and forth, just to be fooled by you?"
Huang Mingxiao's confidence was somewhat weakened when the short fat man said this: "Last time was last time, but this time we have prepared the money!"
"Where's the money? Bring me 25 million and we'll start work right away, without wasting a word."
Lin Wen watched for a while, turned off [Asking Yu Tian], and whispered to Xiao Li, "Go call Fang Dashan." Xiao Li's face flushed, he nodded, turned around and ran away.
Lin Wen strode over. The short and fat man was a little scared when he saw the real boss coming, but Lin Wen started by saying, "Shorty and fat man, tell me, how did you calculate 25 million?"
The short fat man immediately got angry: "I just want 25 million. Give it to me or not. If not, I'm leaving. Don't waste my time!"
"No, you are not entitled to 25 million."
Lin Wen walked up to him and stared at him coldly, with a gleam in his eyes.
After all, he was the head of a county, so the short and fat man was still a little scared. "What, what? Why? I want the price, of course I decide!"
"Because you're going to take 22 million for yourself, 2 million for construction expenses, and 500,000 for gas. The nearly 1,000 brothers under your command will only get 500,000."
"Then tell me, you're short, fat, ugly, and shabby, and your wife gave birth to a fat boy with someone else behind your back, yet you're spending your brothers' hard-earned money to raise someone else's son. What gives you the right, what qualifications, to open your mouth like this?"
The short and fat man's face quickly turned from blue to white, and then turned red. He shouted, "Bullshit! There's no way you could know! The supervisory guards clearly checked it for me! That's my child!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned from red to blue, and then to white. He turned his head trembling, wanting to seek support from the foreman beside him, but he saw that, without realizing it, they had been surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition.
"You, what are you going to do?"
exclaimed the short fat man.
"I, I, I'm warning you, don't spit bloody words at me! I didn't have any dealings with the Supervisory Office at all, and no one from the Council has contacted me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several foremen around him suddenly moved a little further away from him.
The short and fat man turned around a few times in panic, like a small insect exposed to the sun after a brick was lifted up.
Suddenly he became tough again.
"I'm not going to do it! What do you want?!"
"You dare to detain us? Let me tell you! I have a powerful backer behind me! As the head of the Seventh Corps, my authority is defined by the headquarters. I can take whatever I want! Do you dare to touch me?"
Lin Wen sneered and turned to touch Qin Luoshuang's arms. The latter screamed, slapped his hand away, and took two steps back: "What are you doing?"
"Let me use the gun."
Lin Wenchao said in a low voice, and at the same time he was determined to educate her. She could fail at such a critical moment.
Seeing him shrink, the short and fat man behind him became even more arrogant. "If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will first rip your official skin off, and then the Council will break your neck! Come on! Let's see if you have the guts!"
Qin Luoshuang hesitated. The gun was her last line of defense. Although she couldn't hit Lin Wen, she could use it to commit suicide. If she handed over the gun, she would be at the mercy of others.
But the hesitation only lasted for a moment. Qin Luoshuang thought of everything that had happened before, gritted her teeth, took out the gun and handed it to him.
Lin Wen immediately left. Before Qin Luoshuang could feel empty, Lin Wen fired a shot at the short and fat man's shout of "Come on!"
Huge gunshots echoed throughout the area.
The short and fat man was hit on the head and died on the spot. The last word he uttered was stuck in his throat.
The whole audience was silent.
Lin Wen walked up with a gun and looked at the remaining people.
"The good wishes of 300,000 disaster victims in Changshan County to rebuild their homes cannot be disturbed by any dirty things. If any of you don't want to do it, just tell me, and I will arrange it until I find someone who can."
The first person he looked at was the deputy head, a middle-aged man.
"Can you do it?"
The middle-aged man looked at the muzzle of his gun, which was still smoking, and swallowed.
"capable."
"Very good." Lin Wen smiled. "Huang Mingxiao, you make the arrangements. They will be the first batch of laborers."
"What?" All the foremen present shouted.
Lin Wen smiled harmoniously, "Huang Mingxiao, quickly organize the 1,000 brothers behind us. Have them select 20 leaders, divide them into 20 teams, and start work according to the plan."
"Also, tell them that their salary will be doubled while they work here."
"Of course, these people don't have any wages, but as long as they don't starve to death, that's all that matters. Fang Dashan, arrange for soldiers to keep an eye on them. If any of them escape, you'll be held responsible."
"Yes, sir!" Fang Dashan's energetic reply came from afar.
Lin Wen walked back and handed the gun to Qin Luoshuang, who stood there in a daze, forgetting to even take the gun.
"Take the gun, idiot!" Lin Wenchao said in a low voice.
Qin Luoshuang finally came to her senses. She looked at him with a very complicated expression, took the gun and put it back in her arms.
Lin Wen was about to turn around when he suddenly saw Fang Yaobo in the crowd and immediately called out to him.
"Fang Yaobo, come here. Can you write the file this time? What is his crime?"
Although Fang Yaobo was still trembling a little, there was no confusion in his eyes.
"Trying to murder the county governor and 300,000 disaster victims. Crimes against humanity! Shoot him on the spot!"
Qin Luoshuang was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning when she heard this. She was not burnt on the outside but tender on the inside. “How can you talk nonsense like that…”
“That’s absolutely right!”
Lin Wen's voice suddenly drowned out hers.
"This child is teachable!"
Fang Yaobo was still a little flustered, but he couldn't help but smile.
"Then what?"
Fang Yaobo straightened his chest and even spoke more fluently: "I will go to the hard laborers and dig out his crimes. He was shot by County Governor Lin, so his crimes must be unforgivable. As long as I get to know the people, I will know what kind of scum he is."
Lin Wen gave a thumbs-up: "Perfect! You are worthy of being the Chief Judge of the People's Tribunal!"
Fang Yaobo actually laughed embarrassedly.
Qin Luoshuang felt that her three views had flown into outer space, and she now had only one feeling.
I was so stupid, really, I just thought he was a clown.
Unexpectedly.
The clown was actually me.
