Chapter 1312: Like a Bear

I know what you are saying, but is there a place in the county that sells cars? No matter what, I have to get around.

The department owns a Willing Hongguang?. If you dont mind, drive that. Regardless, try to minimize driving around the county as much as possible.

I understand. Lin Yi said.

Im not picky. Anything is fine as long as it comes with wheels.

Li Qingkai took the car keys and handed them to Lin Yi.

Ill drive this for the time being.

Alright.

Sure thing.

Li Qinghai looked at his watch and said, Its noon. The two of you should go and have lunch. You can do your own research in the afternoon. After you understand the situation here, well continue the meeting and plan how to get out of poverty.

Okay.

After saying goodbye, the two of them packed their things and walked downstairs.

Theres a restaurant across the street. It looks pretty good. Lets go there and have a bite, Lin Yi said.

Im not going, Li Sijin turned around and said.

Did I offend you? Why are you throwing a tantrum at me?

Because of you, I almost lost my job. Why would I be happy?

Li Sijin was not a shrewd person. She spoke her thoughts honestly.

What does that have to do with me?

You framed us on purpose. If it werent for Tingtings family, I would have been arrested and lost my job.

This has nothing to do with me. Your friends IQ wasnt high enough. She was racing in the city and didnt even keep an eye out for traffic police. How can you blame me?

Then Im not going with you.

Suit yourself.

Lin Yi walked straight to the restaurant opposite while Li Sijin went to the noodle shop next door.

There were not many people in the restaurant. There were only two tables with guests.

Lin Yi asked the lady boss to make a random dish and ordered two portions of rice. This would be his lunch.

During the meal, Ji Qingyan even sent him a WeChat video call.

Director Lin, hows the work today?

Ji Qingyan was also having lunch in her office as she asked about Lin Yis situation.

Lets not talk about it. I feel that the GDP of this county in a year is not even comparable to half a year of Lingyun Groups revenue.

Is it that bad?

Thats a conservative estimate.

Theres nothing we can do about it. Some regions simply face uneven development, said Ji Qingyan.

I think you should target the strengths of the local industry. Otherwise, you wont attract anyone at all.

Ive thought about that too, but I dont have any strengths. Thats the problem.

When 1 was free in the morning, 1 checked the map and realized that Dongsan County is at the intersection of three cities. In theory, the road network should be well-developed, so why does it look like this?

Huh?

Ji Qingyans words were a reminder to Lin Yi. As the saying went, if you wanted to be rich, you had to first build a road.

A strong road network was a huge advantage.

Your idea is not bad. As expected of our President Ji. Youre really smart and quick-witted.

Ji Qingyan smiled smugly. That depends on who youre comparing me to. Im very smart compared to you.

But when I say youre fat, you start yelling.

Dont push it.

During lunch time, the two of them chatted casually. After about half an hour, Lin Yi hung up the video call after eating. Then, he went to the front desk to pay the bill, spending a total of 23 yuan.

Lin Yi pursed his lips when he saw the number on WeChat.

If it was in Zhonghai, the same meal would cost at least 50 yuan.

After sighing for a while, Lin Yi went to the noodle shop beside and saw Li Sijin eating noodles in small bites.

When she saw Lin Yi, she quickly stopped what she was doing.

Im done. Lets go now.

Theres still a bit. Theres no hurry. Just continue eating.

Im full.

Li Sijin walked to the bar counter to pay. Her bowl of noodles cost six yuan.

The low price of goods exceeded Lin Yis imagination.

Even so, Li Sijin was the only one in the noodle shop at noon.

Ring ring ring!

Just as Li Sijin paid the bill and was about to leave, her phone rang.

Whats wrong, Tingling?

I just ate.

Youre here in the county? Then wait for me outside.

After hanging up, the two of them walked out together.

Following Li Sijins gaze, Lin Yi saw the BMW 7 Series from yesterday at the entrance of the office building.

Tingting.

When they were crossing the road, Li Sijin called out to her.

w.a.n.g Ting got out of the car and saw Lin Yi walking over.

Why are you here? Li Sijin walked over and asked.

Didnt you tell me this morning that the two of you were in the same office? The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, so I rushed over.

Li Sijin was a little embarra.s.sed. Her friend made her look like a snitch.

I was just giving you a heads-up without any other intentions. Why did you have to come running over here?

I was just too angry. Not only did they trick me, but when I got home yesterday, my dad gave me a good scolding. I couldnt even get a good nights sleep.

After saying that, w.a.n.g Ting looked at Lin Yi with a bad expression.

Its really a small world. 1 cant my family? ended up working in the same place as you. What bad luck.

What do you mean by your family? Are you gay? Are you the butch in this relations.h.i.+p? Lin Yi said.

No wonder you werent happy when I called you a female driver yesterday. That explains it.

Dont talk nonsense. Theres nothing wrong with my s.e.xuality.

Those who know, know.

You!

Alright, Tingting, stop arguing. I still have something to do in the afternoon, so 1 cant accompany you.

Its fine. Do what you have to do. I have nothing to do anyway. Ill go over with you in the afternoon to look around.

Were going to town. The conditions are much worse than this. Youll only suffer if you tag along. Its better not to bother.

Our family used to be poor too. Dont it seem like I was pampered. w.a.n.g Ting said.

Besides, 1 think hes a little abnormal. What if he touches you on the way? I can protect you.

Heh

What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?

What are you talking about? Ive never liked you.

Let me tell you, youd better restrain yourself in front of me. Ive been learning Taekwondo since high school. I can knock down a scrawny boy like you with a shoulder throw. w.a.n.g Ting said.

This is the main street. I dont want you to get embarra.s.sed, so Im warning you not to have any bad thoughts about Sijin. Otherwise, youll end up on the floor.

I dont believe it. Even though you look dumb and burly, like a blind bear, Im still a guy. I dont really consider you a threat.

w.a.n.g Ting rolled up her sleeves. Are you looking down on me? Come, come, come, lets spar!
