After Lin Tao returned to the guest room, he took out the night pearl in his pocket and put it on the bedside table, then took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a bath, and when he turned off the light and lay down after taking a shower, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning.

He turned over, and when he was about to close his eyes and sleep, he suddenly found that the night pearl on the bedside table exuded a dazzling halo, and in the night, there seemed to be a liquid flowing in the pearl inside the night pearl.

Lin Tao, who was originally full of sleep, suddenly lost his sleepiness, got up from the bed, carefully picked up the night pearl on the bedside table, took it in his hand and observed it carefully......

"What's in there?"

Lin Tao played with it for a while, but he didn't see the reason, and couldn't help muttering curiously.

"Is it the pearl of the night that has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon?"

Lin Tao went in with a force of internal force, wanting to find out, but he didn't expect that after the internal force went in, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he lost contact with Lin Tao.

"This ...... How could it be! Lin Tao was surprised, his internal force was absorbed by such a small ball?

At this time, Lin Tao could already determine that the milky white liquid in the Night Pearl was by no means a simple thing, otherwise it would not be able to absorb his internal force.

Lin Tao didn't believe in evil, and once again he used his internal strength to go in, and like last time, it was like a stone thrown into the sea, and there was no news.

Since he couldn't crack the mystery, Lin Tao planned to collect it for the time being, and when he met the old man in the future, he asked the well-informed old man what this thing was.

After carefully observing the night pearl again, Lin Tao put away the beads and lay down quietly.

It didn't take long for Lin Tao to gradually make a regular breathing sound, and when Lin Tao fell asleep, the night pearl in the night exuded a colorful and beautiful color, if Lin Tao saw it, he would definitely be suppressed by this strange colored light.

……

The next day, it wasn't until almost noon that Lin Tao was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

The phone call was from Zhang Li, who asked Lin Tao to get up quickly, saying that after lunch, he would go with her to see the completed cable car, and go to Yongquan Village to sign a land lease contract with the villagers of Yongquan Village.

The cable car can be pressed in Yongquan Village, which is a great joy for Wang Shuo, the mayor of Anping Town.

Yongquan Village is the largest poor village in their Anping Town, so many years, has not been able to solve the problem of poverty alleviation in Yongquan Village, this time Lin Tao pressed the cable car in Yongquan Village, which is equivalent to letting the villagers of Yongquan Village go up and down the mountain, so that the poverty alleviation work is much easier.

Mayor Wang Shuo is forty-seven or eighteen years old this year, he is the mayor of Anping Town, who has been the mayor of Anping Town for more than ten years, because he likes to drink and is not tactful enough, so he has not been promoted, but it is also because he has been the mayor of this town for a long time, so he can be described as a very domineering man in this town, and even the town secretary has to avoid three points to him.

After so many years of rotten life, Wang Shuo has long lost his original military blood, and now his hair is bald, and the middle of his belly is rising, and he has already had a corrupt image.

At noon, Wang Shuo knew that Lin Tao had come to the town, and asked Zhang Li to invite him to invite Lin Tao to eat at the guest house, which was regarded as the town's government's gratitude to Lin Tao.

Although Lin Tao didn't like to deal with these things, he still had to eat lunch, and when Zhang Li called him to tell him, he promised to come down.

At noon, under the leadership of Zhang Li, Lin Tao came to the canteen of the guest house.

There were several middle-aged men and women standing at the gate of the cafeteria, and when they saw Zhang Li and Lin Tao, Wang Shuo, who was the leader, greeted them with a grin, and said, "Director Zhang, Mr. Lin, distinguished guests are here!" ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "I have already met once last time, Mayor Wang doesn't need to be so polite, let's have lunch casually, and then I will take Mr. Lin to see the cable car project he invested." ”

Wang Shuo nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Cheng, then hurry up and invite inside." ”

Under the leadership of Wang Shuo, everyone went to the big box of the canteen, which was specially reserved for the leaders of the town government to entertain guests, although it was not very luxurious, but it was also clean and spacious.

It stands to reason that Zhang Li is the leader of the city, and Lin Tao is also a big businessman in the province, if he can be an official, he should be humble to the two, instead of sitting in the upper seat himself, and then ask Zhang Li and Lin Tao to sit next to him, so as to make it look like he is the protagonist today.

Zhang Li secretly shook his head, and said in his heart that this Wang Shuo is simply bullshit, no wonder he can't move his nest after sitting in the position of the mayor of Anping Town for more than ten years, it turns out that there is a reason.

Lin Tao sat next to Wang Shuo, and Zhang Li sat next to Lin Tao, at this time, the only young woman in the crowd of the town government sat next to Zhang Li, Wang Shuo saw it and introduced with a smile: "This is our deputy mayor Wang's insider, Li Huihui, who also works in our town government." ”

Li Huihui smiled at Zhang Li and Lin Tao a little shyly, and found that when Lin Tao, a big businessman in the province, was so young, Li Huihui was extremely surprised, this young man looked much younger than her husband, and she was already a person who even the mayor had to accompany carefully, and then thought that in order to get her husband the position of executive deputy mayor, she lost herself to an old and ugly man like Wang Shuo, Li Huihui suddenly felt a loss in her heart.

After Li Huihui sat down, Li Huihui's man, Wang Yaohui, who had just been promoted to executive deputy mayor, sat next to Zhang Huihui and nodded to Zhang Li and Lin Tao with a smile.

After that, some small cadres in the town government office were seated one after another.

The wine and food were all together, Wang Shuo smiled and took the initiative to raise his wine glass, and said to Lin Tao: "Mr. Lin, thank you very much for coming to our Anping Town to engage in poverty alleviation and solve a big problem for our town government. ”

Lin Tao then picked up his wine glass and said, "Mayor Wang is not polite, I came to do good deeds to alleviate poverty, and I don't mix any political and personal factors, so don't say thank you." Let's order the wine as well, okay? ”

Wang Shuo squeezed out a smile, nodded and said, "Cheng, just listen to Mr. Lin." ”

I was a little dissatisfied with Lin Tao in my heart, and I was ready to drink two glasses with Lin Tao, but I didn't expect Lin Tao to be so ignorant.

Lin Tao said so, and some of the office staff who were originally called by Wang Shuo to accompany the wine were useless, so they could only eat with their heads bored.

The meal was not salty or light, and everyone had a few drinks before leaving.

After the meal, Wang Shuo pointed at Li Huihui with a smile and said to Lin Tao: "Mr. Lin, I still have work to deal with in the afternoon, and I can't accompany you, so let Li Huihui from our office accompany you around." Oh yes, do you still need to rent land in Yongquan Village? ”

"Yes, rent some herbs."

"That's just right, let Li Huihui accompany you to rent land."

Lin Tao smiled thoughtfully and said, "I have already negotiated with the old village chief of Yongquan Village, so I won't trouble Li ......."

Before Lin Tao finished speaking, he was gently touched by Zhang Li's arm, and took the initiative to smile and said: "Come on, let Li Huihui follow, after all, it is a person from the Anping Town Government, and it is convenient to do things." ”

Wang Shuo's originally gloomy face showed a smile, and said to Lin Tao: "If Mr. Lin encounters any difficulties in Yongquan Village, just come to the town government to find me!" ”

Lin Tao nodded with a smile and said, "In the future, you will inevitably trouble Mayor Wang." ”

Wang Shuo exchanged a few words with Lin Tao and Zhang Li, and then left with a group of people from the town government office.

Li Huihui's husband Wang Yaohui whispered a few words to Li Huihui before leaving, and then smiled at Lin Tao and hurriedly rode away on his motorcycle.

Lin Tao, Zhang Li and Li Huihui were left, Zhang Li glanced at Lin Tao and said, "Let's go too?" Go to Yongquan Village. ”

Lin Tao nodded and said okay.

Li Huihui looked a little gentle, didn't talk much, Lin Tao and Zhang Li walked in front, and she followed silently behind her.

Lin Tao lowered his voice and asked Zhang Li curiously, "I originally wanted to refuse Wang Shuo just now, don't let Li Huihui follow, why did you interrupt my words and have to let her follow?" ”

Zhang Li pursed her lips and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Then do you know why Wang Shuo has to let Li Huihui follow you?" ”

Lin Tao shook his head inexplicably.

Zhang Li explained: "With people from the town government following, when the time comes, if you do a good job in poverty alleviation, can't he Wang Shuo also ask for credit from above!" ”

"What does what I do have to do with the town government?" Lin Tao looked puzzled.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "So you are not in the official career, you don't know the situation inside, the poverty alleviation work should have been carried out by their town government, although you are doing good deeds in your personal reputation, but the leaders of the town government will definitely not miss this opportunity to accumulate political achievements, after all, poverty alleviation is good, and the leaders above will be happy." ”

"It turns out that this is the reason why Wang Shuo asked Li Huihui to follow me, no wonder!"

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The reason why I asked you not to refuse just now is because this matter actually has no loss to you, there is no need to offend Wang Shuo, although you have a backstage, but the county official is not as good as the current management, planting Chinese herbs in Yongquan Village, and you will have to find help from the town government in the future, so let Li Huihui follow." ”

Lin Tao nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "You people who are engaged in politics are too tired and too attentive all day long. ”

Zhang Li glanced at Lin Tao and said, "You know, you said that although I am the director of the municipal government office of such a county-level city, I look very beautiful in front of people, but in fact, ...... Hey, there is too much sadness in it, especially when women go on a career path, which is much more difficult than men. ”

"Then you still want to be an official? Addicted to officials? ”

Zhang Li smiled bitterly: "What kind of official addiction, for us women, a good quality of life is more important than anything else, if I don't be the director of the office, I don't know what else I can do to support myself, so boil, if you are lucky, it's not bad to be a mayor, hehe." ”

"It's just the mayor of a county-level city, you can get through it!"

Lin Tao smiled and said affirmatively.
