That evening, Wang Mei, fearing that Tian Tian would cause a scene, took her back to her own room.
"Honey, I'm starting to regret taking this position," Lin Xiao said, feeling a bit disheartened as she lay in Li Hao's arms after taking a shower.
"Did you learn to play an instrument on the first day?" Li Hao asked, noticing that Lin Xiao didn’t understand his meaning. "I meant you’re backing out."
"No, it’s just that I feel bad for you all. I can’t keep asking you to stay with me. And then there’s Tian Tian and Sister Wang. You all came here because of me." Lin Xiao felt selfish.
"Why would you think that?" Li Hao sat up, holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes. "I chose to be with you because it makes me happy; it’s not because you’re selfishly forcing me."
"I understand. But…"
"Tian Tian feels the same way. Wherever her parents are, that's where home is. Sister Wang likes Tian Tian; she enjoys it here in this beautiful place."
"Yeah, I get it. But promise me one thing," Lin Xiao said, revealing her true thoughts to Li Hao, feeling a bit lighter.
"What is it?" Li Hao hadn’t expected Lin Xiao to carry such a heavy burden; it seemed that Tian Tian’s situation had really hurt her.
"In the future, don’t interfere with my work, okay? I need to bump my head against the wall to know my own limits."
Li Hao understood that Lin Xiao had figured out he had manipulated things to bring her to Yu Rao and arranged for Meng Kai to come over.
"Alright. I promise you."
From a leadership perspective, Li Hao knew Lin Xiao could handle it. But from the standpoint of a lover, he couldn’t bear to see her being delayed or troubled by others.
Just like the sky, he knew Li Hong had a serious smoking habit and was about to criticize him.
"I know you mean well, but do you think I’m ungrateful?" Lin Xiao asked playfully as she snuggled back into his embrace after hearing Li Hao’s promise.
"Silly girl."
The two enjoyed a peaceful night together.
The next morning, Lin Xiao arrived at the town government office filled with determination but found herself surrounded by people at the entrance.
As she took out her phone to inquire about what was happening at the Party and Government Office, a chubby Lu Shijun rushed over and pulled Lin Xiao aside.
"Town Head Lin! Why haven’t you been answering your phone?" he panted anxiously.
What is the situation with these people? Next week is the Duanwu Festival, and these individuals are here to demand money. They come asking for funds before every festival.
What kind of money are they asking for? Recently, Yurou County has tasted success from the tourism development strategy initiated by Li Hao. Surrounding Cui Ping Mountain and Emerald Lake, they have developed activities like Gorge Rafting and Skydiving.
Such large-scale development means significant relocations, and relocations require the construction of Relocation Housing. Most of those demanding money are small business owners involved in building Relocation Housing, as well as those working on road construction who still owe wages to Migrant Workers.
How much money is owed? After understanding the situation, Lin Xiao pressed further.
Look at those people; there are probably seven or eight businesses, each with different amounts owed. Li Secretary knows the specifics better, Lu Jun said, wiping the sweat from his forehead after speaking so much.
What about Li Secretary? He went to a meeting in the county early this morning. Lu Shijun hesitated, unsure whether to speak the truth.
Seeing Lu Shijun's expression, Lin Xiao realized that Li Hong had likely run away to avoid paying debts. During her time in the government office, she had witnessed how, during festivals, the county chief would be overwhelmed by Town Chiefs demanding money.
She never expected that now it would be her turn to face debt collectors. She called for the Deputy Town Head in charge of industry.
After speaking, Lin Xiao headed towards her office where a crowd had gathered. She could choose to hide like other Town Chiefs, but she knew she couldn't do that. She understood this was a test for her; this battle would directly determine her standing in Gengxu Town.
