After getting on the national highway to Yingtian, the provincial capital, Lin Xi asked Ni Lingwei, who was sitting on the side, "Sister Lingwei, what did my mother say to you last night, and we talked for so long?" ”

After hearing this, Ni Lingwei turned her head to look at Lin Xi and asked, "Do you want to know the Dao?" ”

After Lin Xi heard this, he thought to himself, isn't this nonsense, I don't want to know what to do, what are you doing?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, he just nodded solemnly at Ni Lingwei, and said in a deep voice: "I want to know the way!" ”

"I won't tell you, giggles!" Ni Lingwei said with a smile.

"You ......" After listening to Ni Lingwei's words, Lin Xi couldn't say anything except this word.

Along the way, Ni Lingwei kept looking at Lin Xi's face, and chuckled twice from time to time, making someone depressed. The more Lin Xi was like this, the more proud Ni Lingwei became, until finally someone threatened: "If you are like this, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”

While saying this, Lin Xi stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and deliberately gestured towards the two plump peaks on Ni Lingwei's chest.

Out of understanding someone, Ni Lingwei subconsciously chose to shut up and put her hands in front of her chest to prevent a surprise attack.

The journey of more than 100 kilometers, the two talked and laughed, but it didn't feel long.

After entering Yingtian County, Lin Xi's mood subconsciously became nervous. In his previous life, although he had dealt with many provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking officials, those were different from this time, and he inevitably felt uneasy in his heart.

After Ni Lingwei saw Lin Xi's performance, she said with a smile: "It's okay, my dad is very kind, plus you have saved me and Qianxue, don't worry, the old man will not only not embarrass you, but will also entertain you very warmly." ”

After hearing this, Lin Xi thought about it and felt that what Ni Lingwei said did make some sense, so he put his mind at ease.

Despite this, when the car drove along Riverside Avenue to the family area of the provincial party committee, Lin Xi's heart was still a little nervous, and he subconsciously slowed down the speed to adjust his mood.

When he parked the white Santana at the gate of the No. 3 courtyard, Lin Xi's mood basically calmed down.

Aunt Chen led Qianxue to wait at the door, and after hearing the sound of the car, she couldn't wait to open the courtyard door.

Seeing that not only did her mother come back, but Lin Xi also came, she clapped her little hands and said happily: "Uncle Lin, you are really here, great, I thought Aunt Chen lied to me!" ”

After hearing this, Aunt Chen reached out and stroked Qianxue's head, and then said with a smile: "Qianxue, now you should believe Aunt Chen!" ”

Seeing this, Qianxue smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Xi walked into the courtyard with Qianxue in his arms, and saw Ni Lingwei's mother standing at the door, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Auntie, hello!" ”

"Xiaolin is here, hurry, come and sit at home!" Ni Lingwei's mother greeted warmly.

Lin Xi took Qianxue's hand and followed Ni Lingwei's mother and daughter into the door, and when he saw that he was coming from the sofa, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said respectfully: "Secretary Ni, hello!" ”

Ni Lingwei had long known about Lin Xi's rescue of Ni Lingwei and Qianxue, and had been looking for an opportunity to thank him, but this time she finally got her wish, and she would not put herself on the shelf of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

"Xiaolin, don't be so polite at home, just call Uncle Uncle!" Ni Huaishu said as he stretched out his broad palm at Lin Xi.

Seeing this, Lin Xi hurriedly stretched out his hands and shook Ni Huaishu. In the midst of holding three hands, Lin Xi felt the strength of the other party's hand, which made the original worry in his heart disappear completely.

During the meal, Ni Huaishu also deliberately drank some wine with Lin Xi, and the appreciation for him in his words was very obvious.

Seeing this, Ni Lingwei subconsciously squeezed her eyes.

Lin Xi turned a blind eye to this and did not make any response. The reason why he responded like this was because he knew very well in his heart that in front of an old Jianghu like Ni Huaishu, if he and Ni Lingwei were eye-to-eye, it would be the old birthday star hanging himself - looking for death.

After lunch, Ni Huaishu also went to the study with Lin Xi to chat for half an hour, and later because Qianxue was clamoring to go to the playground to play, Lin Xi took her with Ni Lingwei.

Lin Xi's dinner was also eaten at Ni's house, but Ni Huaishu was not at home at night.

After eating, Lin Xi chatted with Ni Lingwei's mother for a while, and then stood up and said goodbye. Ni Lingwei drove him to the hotel and followed.

After the two got into the car, Ni Lingwei asked Lin Xi: "How is it, how do you feel after this day?" ”

"Very good, hehe!" Lin Xi replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Ni Lingwei pursed her lips and smiled: "When you came from Qingyuan in the morning, you were not as relaxed as you are now!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Xi scratched his head embarrassedly and did not speak.

"By the way, when you and my dad went to the study, did you mention the matter of Dongsheng Coal Mine?" Ni Lingwei asked.

After seeing Lin Xi shaking his head, Ni Lingwei asked curiously: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you wanted to mention this matter to him before, you won't be so nervous that you forget, right?" ”

"How can it?" Lin Xi said, "I really wanted to mention this stubble, but seeing that the old man was very interested, I couldn't say it." ”

After Ni Lingwei heard this, she was stunned, he understood what Lin Xi meant. Since last summer's incident, Dad has indeed become a different person and has become depressed. She just mentioned it to Lin Xi, but she didn't expect the other party to keep this in her heart.

Ni Lingwei can also see that her father is very happy today, and if Lin Xi brings up the matter of the coal mine at this time, it is very likely to spoil his interest. It seems that the reason why Lin Xi chose not to mention this stubble was entirely for the old man.

After realizing this, Ni Lingwei turned her head to look at Lin Xi and said seriously: "Lin Xi, thank you!" ”

"Sister Ling Wei, you said the opposite, it's time for me to thank you, you helped me introduce a high-ranking official at the vice provincial level today, hehe!" Lin Xi joked.

"you, just know that it's nonsense, don't hurry up and drive!" Ni Lingwei said angrily.

Early the next morning, Lin Xi returned to Qingyuan. Ni Lingwei didn't have anything to do during this time, and was going to stay in Yingtian for a while, so that Lin Xi could contact him if he had something.

That night, Lin Xi finally met his father. Lin Jiaqiang looked very tired, and the two dark circles on his face looked very conspicuous.

After the father and son sat down in the study, Lin Xi asked, "Dad, what's the matter, why did the employees of the department store suddenly make a fuss?" ”

After Lin Jiaqiang took a sip of tea, he said: "It can't be regarded as a sudden trouble, because of the proper solution, the county has been dragging this matter, and the employees of the department store have to eat, and after a long time, it is not surprising to see that the government has not made a clear statement for a long time." ”

After listening to his father's answer, Lin Xi glanced at him, and then said, "Dad, are you saying that there is no other special reason for this, and it is completely because the workers can't get their wages that make trouble?" ”

Lin Xi is very concerned about this, although his father is now the secretary of the county party committee of Qingyuan, but the things in the officialdom can't be explained clearly, as the saying goes, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years.

After listening to his son's words, Lin Jiaqiang nodded his head lightly, and then said: "Since this incident broke out, while I was doing pacification work, I also understood and inquired from many aspects, and there was no other reason. ”

Lin Xi saw his father's serious expression and nodded slightly, what he was most worried about was that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble. Since there is no such problem, the rest will be easy.

"Dad, didn't you keep saying before, if you have to find a way, no one wants to take over the department store? Not to mention, the terrain here is still quite good! Lin Xi asked with a puzzled expression.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's question, he sighed lightly and said: "We talked to two shopping malls in Luzhou, and they have the intention of starting, but the premise is that the employees of the department store are not accepted, do you think we can agree?" ”

Lin Xi nodded slightly after hearing this, judging from the last time his father communicated with him, the meaning of the county is very clear, it doesn't matter if the department store makes money or not, but there must be no accidents, to put it in a high-sounding way, stability is overriding everything.

Now these two shopping malls are reluctant to ask for employees of Qingyuan Department Store, if the county agrees, won't it be a cart before the horse?
