“Sleep a little longer. The county hospital isn’t far from here. I’ll go with Xinxin,” Li Chuhan said as he looked at the dazed Lin Yi.
“Let 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.”
“Then I’ll find you some clothes. Get up and wash your face.”
“Sure thing.”
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.
“Sister Sun, how’s your preparations going?” Hou Jingtao, who was driving, asked.
“I’m 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 he’s also very young. If anything goes wrong, I could easily make him unhappy.”
“This is indeed quite important. Moreover, it’s a mission assigned by the higher-ups. If anything goes wrong, the leaders will criticize us.”
“That’s right,” Sun Yiying said.
“What about Director Lin? How’re the preparations going for that?”
“I didn’t prepare much to meet him. After all, I’ve been working for more than three years. 1 can conduct the interview on the spot.”
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 wouldn’t 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.
“Are you sure this is Dongsan County and you didn’t drive to the wrong place?”
“How could 1 be wrong? 1 drove according to the map. I think we’ll reach the county building in about ten minutes.”
“Isn’t this too run-down? Look at the streets. What’s going on? The paint on the plaque has already fallen off. Moreover, there are people bringing donkey-pulled carts around to sell fruits. It’s disgusting,” Sun Yiying said in disdain.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Hou Jingtao said.
“Dongsan County is famous for being a poor county. It’s indeed a little lacking.”
“I’d better speed up the interview later. It feels like this isn’t a place fit for humans.”
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.
“Hello, Director Li. I’m Hou Jingtao. We spoke on the phone yesterday. I’m already downstairs.”
“Come on up. I’m in Room 309.”
“Okay.”
The call was short. Hou Jingtao hung up and unbuckled his seatbelt.
“Director Lin is in Room 309. He wants us to go over.”
“Hmm? Isn’t he coming out to receive it?”
Hou Jingtao paused for a moment. “1 don’t think he has any intention of doing that. He just said that we should go up ourselves.”
“Doesn’t he know the nature of the Central Daily? We’re representatives of the state media. He didn’t even come down to welcome us when we came to interview him. That’s too much.”
“He’s now a contributor to Dongsan County’s investment. He’s rather busy with work, so it’s understandable that he doesn’t have time to come down and receive us.”
“I reckon he’s using this small achievement as an excuse to show off..”
