Chapter 649: A Bad Omen

Look, another one has come to work, who knows if there’s some good news coming to the Lin Family.

Some even thought, that man isn’t very old; could he be Lin Jiayi’s new boyfriend?

Everyone in the village knew that once Lin Jiayi had a wealthy biological mom, she divorced Li Guangyuan from Xiaoqingshan Village, and didn’t even want the child.

Previously, Li Guangyuan came to the Lin Family with the child making a scene, but Lin Jiayi didn’t budge.

Isn’t it just because she wants to change to a capable city man with a stable job?

After Hu Gang entered the yard, he looked around the Lin Family as he followed them inside.

Mother Lin looked the man up and down. Although she didn’t know what he did for a living, his demeanor and speech were extraordinary, and knowing he worked at the county government was indeed comforting.

Lately, Jiayi’s been running to the county a lot; has he taken a liking to her and even chased her all the way home?

If that’s the case, she needs to put on some airs; you don’t just chase after a wife like that, at least you should ask a matchmaker to properly bring it up, who just directly comes over when they’ve taken a liking?

Lin Jiayi had no idea what her mother was thinking; she remembered this person. He’s an office worker from the county government, last name Hu, and everyone calls him Xiao Hu.

"What do you want from me?"

She didn’t think she had any relationship with people from the county government and just got straight to the point.

Mother Lin felt anxious upon hearing her tone, "Jiayi, the person came from afar, at least let them have a glass of water first."

Saying that, she whispered in her ear, "Do you know him?" If she knew him, then it’d be almost certain.

Lin Jiayi ignored her mother and had a bad feeling.

Just as expected, Hu Gang politely started, "It’s like this, Mr. Lin, when the vegetable station was tendered, your company won the bid, and it’s been more than a month. The county leaders highly value our investment here, especially with Walson Company investing in our Ancheng County, the leaders hold high hopes, so they sent me to see your company’s next steps. He County said if there’s anything the county needs to cooperate with, we will definitely cooperate."

Hu Gang was diplomatic, but in reality, He County was almost frantic about this piece of land.

Back then the side of Xiyang wanted it, but He County fancied Walson as a foreign investment company and gave them the land as an exception.

But what happened? They bought the land and never followed up, and Xiyang turned around and bought land on the Yan City side, and the clothing factory is about to be built there.

If it wasn’t for Walson getting involved back then, the clothing factory would have been in An City.

He County is almost regretful to death, and if there’s no progress soon, He County will come in person.

So it is about this.

Lin Jiayi’s face turned a bit unpleasant and she casually crossed her legs, "Since our company bought the land, naturally we have plans, but it’s a corporate secret, not convenient to disclose."

"How can that be a secret, Miss Lin is also a person from Ancheng County, for the hometown’s economic development, government support, these all benefit you and your hometown..."

"Xiao Hu," Lin Jiayi interrupted him, "You said it wrong, I’m just someone who grew up in Ancheng County, not an Ancheng County person. To be precise, my ancestors are from the capital, even my mother is an American, what you’re saying about developing the hometown economy has nothing to do with me, and whatever I want to do with the vegetable station I bought is my business and has nothing to do with you, I hope today’s matter won’t happen again, I have many things to do and don’t have time to deal with you officials, please go back."

Hu Gang: "..."

Who allows you to call me Xiao Hu?

Hu Gang was choked by her words.

This wasn’t his first contact with Lin Jiayi, originally he didn’t want to come, but He County told him to come.

He already knew there would be no communication with this woman, and talking about Americans, that Zhuang Yang grew up in the United States, and didn’t act as much as she did.

Knowing further conversation with her would be futile, Hu Gang directly stood up, "Since that’s the case, I can only tell He County the truth."

Lin Jiayi snorted from her nose, not even glancing at Hu Gang again.

Mother Lin was dumbfounded watching from the side, was Xiao Hu here for something else with her daughter?

But even if it’s for something else, that wouldn’t stop them from being involved romantically.

She could tell Xiao Hu worked in the county government and was very close to the county magistrate.

She tugged Lin Jiayi’s sleeve, seeing Lin Jiayi unmoved, she went out to see the guest off.

As soon as the person left far away, she quickly ran back.

"I say, Jiayi, what are you doing? I think that Xiao Hu is quite a nice young man, he came to our house for you, also to help, you guys bought that vegetable station wasn’t it to do something, you could have just told him, say you wanted to start a factory. Anyway, you have your biological mother to help invest and that Zhuang Yang to help you manage, once you make a name, it’s all yours, what’s wrong with that?"

"Mom, did you forget, I’m soon going to the capital, who has time to waste here in this small county."

Furthermore, that Zhuang said, if she wanted to start a factory she’d have to rely on herself, she wouldn’t manage it for her.

What could she do? All the easy jobs were snatched by that little bitch Lin Chuxia.

Mother Lin questioned suspiciously, "Is she really going to take you to the capital? It’s been so long, why hasn’t she come to pick you up yet? Did she leave already without you?"

"How could that be? She still has some things to handle here, once she’s done, she’ll come to get me. Didn’t she say before, to let me stay with you a little longer as it won’t be as convenient to meet after?"

Talking about this, Mother Lin also became sentimental.

"Jiayi, I’m still not comfortable with you going to the capital. Why don’t you talk to her about it, you don’t want to go anyway, didn’t you say last time that talking about it was enough not to go, why suddenly bring it up again?"

"Mom, come on, last time I didn’t want to go study in the capital, you know well that I’m not made for studying. This time she said I don’t have to study if I don’t want to, just wants to bring me over to live, why wouldn’t I go to such a good prospect? She also said that if I wanted, I could work in her company over there, she’s going to invest in an enterprise in the capital just to invest for me, wouldn’t that be mine in the future? I’d be foolish not to go."

Lin Jiayi had been longing for such a life recently.

"The capital, ah, no matter what, is bigger than Lin Chuxia’s factory."

"But without your dad and me, what if she’s not good to you? You should talk to her about opening the factory in Ancheng, didn’t you agree on that before? You can open a factory in Ancheng and your dad and I will help you overlook it."

"Mom, you’re really shortsighted, a factory in Ancheng is nowhere near as majestic as a factory in the capital."

No matter how big Lin Chuxia’s factory is, it can’t compare with one in the capital.

However, after saying this, she also became anxious.

That day, that Zhuang came looking for her; it seemed urgent, so eager to have her leave immediately.

So many days have passed, and why is there no word now?

Even with something to handle, she could have asked Zhuang Yang to pass on a message.
