The next morning, Li Chuhan woke up early.
âSleep a little longer. The county hospital isnât far from here. Iâll go with Xinxin,â Li Chuhan said as he looked at the dazed Lin Yi.
âLet me send you guys. Besides, I have something to do later and have to go back to the county office. 1 might as well go out with you.â
âThen Iâll find you some clothes. Get up and wash your face.â
âSure thing.â
After washing up, the three of them met up and went out for breakfast.
Lin Yi then sent the two of them to the hospital and returned to his office, waiting for the reporters to come over for the interview.
At the same time, a Tiguan SUV was driving in the direction of Dongsan County.
There were two people sitting in the car. They were both very young, only about 30 years old.
The man driving was dressed in sportswear. He had short hair and dark skin. When he smiled, he looked very simple and friendly.
The woman sitting in the front passenger seat was dressed much more fashionably. She was wearing a long red dress, her long hair was tied up behind her head, and her fair skin was like agar. When she walked on the street, people could not help but take a few more glances at her.
The man driving was called Hou Jingtao, and the woman was called Sun Yiying. They had both called Lin Yi the day before.
However, in their eyes, they did not know that the person they had called was the same person.
They only felt that it was a coincidence. The names were the same. He did not associate the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation with a boss who was worth hundreds of billions.
âSister Sun, howâs your preparations going?â Hou Jingtao, who was driving, asked.
âIâm still a little nervous. The other party is a billionaire who has been through hundreds of battles. Not only did he start from scratch, but heâs also very young. If anything goes wrong, I could easily make him unhappy.â
âThis is indeed quite important. Moreover, itâs a mission assigned by the higher-ups. If anything goes wrong, the leaders will criticize us.â
âThatâs right,â Sun Yiying said.
âWhat about Director Lin? Howâre the preparations going for that?â
âI didnât prepare much to meet him. After all, Iâve been working for more than three years. 1 can conduct the interview on the spot.â
âItâs better to be more serious. No matter what, heâs still a director. Moreover, itâs all thanks to him that Dongsan County is getting so many investments. Heâs also the focus of this interview.â
âYouâre new here. You donât know anything about this, so youâd better listen to me. There wonât be a problem with this.â
âBut itâs my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have set the interview with Director Lin in the afternoon. Someone as important as President Lin should have been interviewed in the morning. Only then could we show him his importance to us.â
âIt doesnât matter. Since the other party could grow the company to be so successful, they are surely busy. They wonât care about these things,â Sun Yiying said.
âThe only pity is that heâs here to inspect the work. If he were in Zhonghai, we could visit his company.â
âSwings and roundabouts. Weâll interview them together today. This will save us a lot of time.â
Hou Jingtao did not have as many thoughts as Sun Yiying. He only wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible so that he could go home sooner.
âYouâre right.â
That was true, but Sun Yiying did not think so.
The reason why she called Lin Yi last night was because she knew that Hou Jingtao had already contacted the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation for an interview in the morning.
Her plan was very simple. After interviewing the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation, it would be almost noon. Then, she would interview President Lin of Lingyun Group. This would happen around lunchtime.
This way, there would be a great chance for them to have lunch together. It would be even more convenient for them to talk then.
âSister Sun, our chief editor said yesterday that President Lin of Lingyun Group seems to be very handsome. I wonder how handsome he will be.â
âThe chief editor is a love-struck fool. 1 know her too well,â Sun Yiying said with a smile.
âBesides, think about those rich second-generation heirs. As long as they dress up a little, none of them will look bad.â
âSister Sun, youâve been single for so many years, and you even have a masterâs degree in journalism from Fudan University. Do you have any thoughts about that President Lin that youâve never met before?â
âThat depends on fate,â Sun Yiying pretended to be calm and said.
âI prefer talented boys. Weâll see if heâs the type 1 like later.â
âI guess weâll see at noon.â
Sun Yiying was originally very calm, but when Lin Yi was mentioned, she suddenly became nervous.
Because she also felt that this was an opportunity.
If she could really develop a relationship with this young boss who was worth billions of yuan, she would be set for life. She wouldnât have to work as a reporter anymore.
That was why she called Lin Yi personally last night to familiarize herself with him.
Moreover, she had specially put on makeup today to leave a good impression on the other party. Otherwise, she wouldnât have wanted to interview Lin Yi at lunchtime because it would be easier to get closer to him.
At the thought of this, Sun Yiying picked up her makeup bag and touched up her makeup, trying to look more perfect.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the county. Sun Yiying looked around.
âAre you sure this is Dongsan County and you didnât drive to the wrong place?â
âHow could 1 be wrong? 1 drove according to the map. I think weâll reach the county building in about ten minutes.â
âIsnât this too run-down? Look at the streets. Whatâs going on? The paint on the plaque has already fallen off. Moreover, there are people bringing donkey-pulled carts around to sell fruits. Itâs disgusting,â Sun Yiying said in disdain.
âThereâs nothing we can do about it.â Hou Jingtao said.
âDongsan County is famous for being a poor county. Itâs indeed a little lacking.â
âIâd better speed up the interview later. It feels like this isnât a place fit for humans.â
Hou Jingtao smiled and did not say anything. She had never stayed in the countryside before, so it was normal for her to not be able to accept such a scene.
Ten minutes later, Hou Jingtao drove the car to the entrance of the county building and called Lin Yi.
âHello, Director Li. Iâm Hou Jingtao. We spoke on the phone yesterday. Iâm already downstairs.â
âCome on up. Iâm in Room 309.â
âOkay.â
The call was short. Hou Jingtao hung up and unbuckled his seatbelt.
âDirector Lin is in Room 309. He wants us to go over.â
âHmm? Isnât he coming out to receive it?â
Hou Jingtao paused for a moment. â1 donât think he has any intention of doing that. He just said that we should go up ourselves.â
âDoesnât he know the nature of the Central Daily? Weâre representatives of the state media. He didnât even come down to welcome us when we came to interview him. Thatâs too much.â
âHeâs now a contributor to Dongsan Countyâs investment. Heâs rather busy with work, so itâs understandable that he doesnât have time to come down and receive us.â
âI reckon heâs using this small achievement as an excuse to show off..â
