When Liu Lihai saw this, he quickly stood up. He was afraid that the two of them would fight, and he was also worried that the village chief would find an excuse to leave. People like him couldn't accomplish anything, but they were definitely more than capable of ruining things. He walked to the village chief's side and looked at him. "Village Chief Lin, calm down, calm down. Let's sit down and talk. Also, what the village chief said just now shocked my uncle and I. The situation in the countryside is much more complicated than I thought. This is a mistake in our work, and I will report this to the mayor. However, today is the joyous occasion of me recognizing my uncle, so the village chief has to be a witness. The mayor will be here soon, so let's talk about the joyous occasion first, okay? We can talk about other things another day. "
"That's right, Ergen, let's talk about the problem between you and Dahai another day. Today, we'll only talk about the joyous occasion. You and Dahai stay for dinner, and everyone can be witnesses. Furthermore, this is the brother that Little Qiu chose herself. All of you Immortals have to be good witnesses. " Elder Lin hurriedly took over from Liu Lihai to smooth things over. He clearly understood Liu Lihai's intentions. Up until now, he had already determined that this young man was a young man with an extremely bright future. When the heavens bestowed a great responsibility on a man, he must first suffer his mind and body. This was a principle that Elder Lin had firmly believed in for many years. The greater one's achievements, the more experience they would have. Therefore, Liu Lihai must have suffered a lot to be able to deal with this. Other than helping Liu Lihai smooth things over, he had to put on a good show with Liu Lihai. They had to crack down on the genetically modified group as soon as possible, and make genetically modified seeds disappear from the China market as soon as possible. This was the other thing that Elder Lin wanted to help Liu Lihai the most, in addition to building a street in Taiwan.
Ergen wasn't someone who didn't know the severity of the situation and didn't know how to find a way out. Since both Elder Lin and Liu Lihai were making concessions, and he himself was indeed not clean, if he really pushed this young man into a corner, it wouldn't end well for anyone. To be able to sit in the position of the government office director at such a young age, there must be a big backer behind him. In the officialdom, although he was just a small village chief, he had heard a lot of such things.
Therefore, Er Gen was the first to concede. He replied to Elder Lin with a smile, "I misunderstood Little Qiu just now. I thought you were looking for a husband. Since he has recognized him as his elder brother, I, as the village chief, can be considered to have lived for a long time. Of course, I have to stay and drink a cup of wine at the wedding. " Just as the Village Chief was trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation, a group of people walked in from outside. Of course, the leader was Leng Hongyan. To the Village Chief's surprise, Mayor Lv Hantao was also here. He seemed to have found a backer all of a sudden. After greeting Leng Hongyan, he approached Mayor Lv Hantao.
Leng Hongyan walked towards Elder Lin and congratulated him while saying with a smile, "Elder Lin, I'm definitely going to attend this wedding today."
Elder Lin reached out to shake Leng Hongyan's hand out of courtesy and said, "The beautiful mayor has such a capable man under her command. How can I not sign this contract?" Obviously, he was trying to buy a favor for Liu Lihai. Of course, he was also saying this intentionally for the Village Chief and Mayor Lv Hantao to hear.
With so many people gathered all of a sudden, Liu Lihai had been paying attention to the Village Chief out of the corner of his eyes in addition to being polite to the outsiders. Seeing how naturally the Village Chief and Mayor Lv Hantao stuck together, he could roughly understand that the Mayor probably had something to do with the genetically modified genes. However, he was still worried about the Village Chief. He pretended to have something to discuss with Leng Hongyan's driver, Xiaowu, and gestured for him to walk out of the living room. As soon as they walked out of the door, he told Xiaowu to keep a close eye on the Village Chief and not cause any trouble for the signing of the contract in the afternoon. Although the Village Chief said that he supported the plan to build a street in Taiwan with both hands, this plan had to fall into their hands, so he would definitely support it. Now that it had fallen into the hands of Leng Hongyan, would their superiors let it go easily?
After making these arrangements, Liu Lihai returned to the living room. Elder Lin was already chatting with Leng Hongyan. Of course, with so many leaders coming all of a sudden, the happiest person was Ah-Cheng. He privately told the Village Chief that he had something to discuss with him. When the Village Chief saw this, he gestured to Mayor Lv Hantao and walked out with Ah-Cheng.
Xiaowu couldn't help but admire Liu Lihai. It had only been two years since they last met, but this young office director was no longer the little reporter he used to be. He did things with such foresight. Therefore, he pretended to smoke and followed the Village Chief and Ah-Cheng out of the living room.
Ah-Cheng pulled the Village Chief to a tree and asked, "Village Chief, there are so many leaders here. This meal is the village's treat. You must reimburse me."
The Village Chief promised to reimburse Ah-Cheng with a smile, and also signaled Ah-Cheng to quickly prepare for the meal, and to be happy to recognize Liu Lihai as his cousin, and to set off firecrackers. Ah-Cheng was a little confused. More than an hour ago, the Village Chief asked him to stop this recognition, and now he wanted him to enthusiastically recognize him. Why did he change so quickly? However, he only needed the village to reimburse this meal. It was not a bad thing to recognize a city official as a relative. Besides, this relative was older than the Mayor. Since the Village Chief asked him to be enthusiastic, of course, he would be enthusiastic.
After the Village Chief sent Ah-Cheng away, he wanted to go to the side to make a phone call. He just asked the Mayor in private, "Where is the reporter coming to the Lin Village? Why didn't I hear anything from him? " Lv Hantao also didn't know what happened. He collided with Leng Hongyan's car at the entrance of the town, and had to get out of the car to greet Leng Hongyan. When he heard that the Mayor was coming to the Lin Village, he had to say that he was going to pick up Leng Hongyan. In this way, both cars went straight to the Lin Village.
Lv Hantao and Er Gen had already realized that there was a problem, but they couldn't tell exactly what it was. He signaled the Village Chief to call Director Wang of the Reporter Department, but Xiaowu had been at a place not far from him, looking in the direction where he was standing, intentionally or unintentionally, which made him nervous. He really felt a little guilty.
Ergen still dared to call Director Wang's phone, but no one answered. He let Er Gen breathe a sigh of relief. Xiaowu was not far away. When the phone was really connected, what could he ask? Would he dare to say that there was a fire last night? Thinking about it, if no one answered the phone, he would have a good explanation to the Mayor. As for other things, even if the sky fell down, the Mayor would be there to support it. As the Village Chief, he was afraid of nothing. Thinking of this, he relaxed. If there was wine, then let's drink.
When Er Gen returned to the living room, Ah-Cheng was indeed warmly entertaining everyone. As soon as he saw the Village Chief come in, he hurriedly said, "Village Chief, it's time to eat. I'm going to set off the firecrackers." Ah-Cheng's shout made Er Gen so annoyed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. Ah-Cheng's shout meant that he had just gone out and instructed Ah-Cheng to do all the firecrackers. What an idiot. Of course, if all the people in the Lin Village were as secretive as Lin Dahai, how many terms could he serve as the Village Chief?
The Village Chief laughed and gestured for the meal to be ready. Only by sending away these leaders who gave him a headache, then what happened next was none of his business. Anyway, the GMO had been burned, and the evidence was gone. If he stubbornly refused to admit it, no one could do anything to him.
Because of this mentality, after Ah-Cheng finished setting off the firecrackers, the Village Chief's attitude changed from pushing and shoving. Like a host, he helped Liu Lihai kneel to Elder Lin again, and asked Ruan Ziqiu to exchange gifts with her new brother. The Village Chief was very enthusiastic about the ceremony, which made Lu Hantao, who had been feeling uneasy, think that everything was settled. He, Elder Lin, Leng Hongyan, and Liu Lihai started drinking together.
The people at the table all had their own thoughts, but because it was a happy event, there were many congratulatory words, and they ate happily. It was not until Leng Hongyan said that there was an event in the afternoon that they couldn't drink too much, that the meal ended with a round of applause.
Just as the reunion dinner was over and Leng Hongyan, Elder Lin, and the others were about to return to the city, Lv Hantao's phone suddenly rang. He excused himself and went outside to answer it. The call was from Lu Xiaoyang. Before he could say anything, Lu Xiaoyang asked, "How's it going with you guys? Did the interview go well? "
Lu Hantao was stunned, but he quickly asked nervously, "Big Secretary, things have changed, didn't you know?"
"Things have changed? The reporters didn't go to the Lin Village? "Lu Xiaoyang asked again.
Ah? Not only did Lu Xiaoyang not know that the reporters didn't go to the Lin Village, but he also didn't know that Leng Hongyan was going to sign the contract in the afternoon. Lu Hantao hurriedly explained the situation here to Lu Xiaoyang, but before he could finish, the Village Chief on the other end shouted, "Mayor, Mayor, Mayor Leng is leaving."
On the phone, Lu Xiaoyang heard it, "You and Leng Hongyan are drinking together? You have a foot in both boats? Lu Hantao, how dare you play this trick in front of me. You, you, you have guts. "After saying that, Lu Xiaoyang hung up the phone angrily.
What the hell is going on here? Lu Hantao thought that Er Gen would have told Reporter Wang about it, because it was Reporter Wang who contacted him yesterday. He didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyang was directing all this behind the scenes. But Er Gen didn't report anything to his superiors, and the fact that he accompanied Leng Hongyan to the countryside was heard by Lu Xiaoyang. Even if he had ten thousand mouths now, he might not be able to explain it clearly. After all, he thought that Er Gen had already asked Reporter Wang about the situation.
"Mayor Lu, who are you on the hotline with?" Liu Lihai walked in Lu Hantao's direction and shouted.
"A classmate, a classmate. It's about the children." Lu Hantao hurriedly explained while walking towards Liu Lihai, but he secretly cried bitterly in his heart. He couldn't explain it to Lu Xiaoyang now. So many things had happened in the whole morning. This Er Gen, Er Gen, had killed him.
Liu Lihai pretended that he didn't know anything. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lu Hantao and said, "Now I am also a member of the Lin Village, and Mayor Lu is also my parent. If there is anything in the future, please support me, Mayor Lu."
"That's for sure, for sure." Lu Hantao forced a smile and shook hands with Liu Lihai. Then he rushed to Leng Hongyan and said, "Mayor Leng, you are welcome to come to the town to guide the work in the future."
