At four o’clock in the afternoon, Wang Ying lay weakly on the bed like a puddle of mud.
“If I had known it would been so pleasurable, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to bear it for so long.”
Wang Ying turned over and continued to lie on her stomach.
Lin Yi laughed. “Are you sure you don’t want to get up and meet up with Geng Junhui and the others?”
“After lunch, I applied for leave from Director Geng and said that I had something to do and had to go back to Zhonghai first. Otherwise, they would have given me work after I disappeared for the entire afternoon. How could I do anything?”
“How thoughtful.”
“Seducing the president’s man takes a lot of skill. Shouldn’t I be careful?” Wang Ying said.
“The president is really too much. It’s such a waste not to eat such a big fat piece of meat. If it were me, I would not even think about work anymore.”
Lin Yi slapped Wang Ying’s butt.
“Don’t be so shameless. Hurry up and get up. Go eat something. Clapping for love is not only a test of skills, but it also consumes a lot of stamina. You’re making me hungry.”
“You’re hungry so soon?” Wang Ying said, “Have you not been exercising recently?”
Lin Yi got up and slapped her butt again. “Why don’t you just say that you’re bottomless?”
Wang Ying chuckled with a smile on her face.
“Maybe you’ve been holding it in for too long. If the ground is dry, shouldn’t you water it more? You don’t even understand this principle. Your land must be completely barren.”
“The ground is drought. We do have to water it more, but why do I feel that you have more water than me? I almost drowned.”
“Haha...”
Wang Ying laughed loudly. The waves in front of her trembled as she said,
“But you really need to take care of yourself. Right now, it might not be so obvious, but when those women around you are in their thirties, be careful not to be left empty-handed.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk...”
Lin Yi rubbed his chin. “This is a question worth considering.”
“Hehe...”
Wang Ying got up from the bed and helped Lin Yi find his clothes.
“We’re getting closer and closer to the county’s goal of escaping poverty. It’s a happy thing.”
“It’s indeed something to be happy about, but if this continues, the development will become more and more unequal. I’m thinking about this. I have to think of a way to resolve this problem.”
“Unequal?”
Lin Yi’s words made the two of them turn serious. Li Qingkai said,
“Go on, let me hear what’s on your side.”
“The construction of the factory and the entry of migration workers can indeed increase the floating population in the county and stimulate consumption. However, the people who benefit from it are the people staying in the main city. There are still many poor commoners in the villages and towns below. Although their average income will increase day by day, if this continues, the gap between the rich and the poor will increase. I don’t think this is good.”
Lin Yi’s words were like a wake-up call, bringing the two of them back to reality.
If it was just to meet their KPIs, there was naturally no need to pay attention to these issues.
However, the three of them were very responsible. They hoped that every commoner in Dongsan County would be able to escape poverty, so this was a question worth pondering over.
“I’ve been working on this. The problems with irrigation and flood control have been resolved. It shouldn’t happen again like in previous years,” Li Qingkai said.
“But the problem is that even if they increase their income, it will be limited. They will still live at the bottom of society.”
“It can’t be helped. The people left in the village don’t have any skills. Farming is the only way they survive. We can only do our best. How far they can go is up to fate.”
“That’s true, but we still have to think of something if we can.”
Li Qingkai and Li Shijin looked at Lin Yi.
“You have a lot of ideas. Tell me what you think.”
“I think we still have to write about the land,” Lin Yi said.
“I think we should work on the land,” Lin Yi said. “Improving the soil environment, increasing crop yields, planting some improved varieties to enhance both quantity and quality. This way, the profits will increase, and the people in the villages and towns below will have better living conditions, and we can achieve our goals.”
Li Qingkai nodded in agreement, “You’re right, but we can’t follow the coastal areas if we want to do this. We should go to Bingcheng in the northeast. It has the largest agricultural research institute in Huaxia. We can visit it.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
Ring ring ring!
Just as the three of them were talking, Li Qingkai’s phone rang.
