Chapter 78 "Foreign Business Delegation!"
Chapter 78 "Foreign Business Delegation!"
On the other side, on the seaward side of Mojiatan, in Group 5 of Hongxing Village, is Mo Tianshu's home.
Mo Tianshu looked at Lin Man leaning against the wall in front of him and asked the question that had been bothering him:
"I don't understand. For something like this, you could just find a few people, discuss it privately, and decide on the outcome directly. Is it really necessary to go through this whole formality?"
"It's a waste of time, thankless work, and troublesome."
"We live in the information society!" Lin Man took out his phone, opened Douyin (TikTok), entered "Red Star Village scandal" in the search bar, swiped up with his thumb, scrolled through the videos several times, and when he saw the content he wanted to watch, he liked the video and saved it.
After liking and saving the content, he continued scrolling up, liking and saving similar content as well.
In less than two minutes, all the new content he refreshed was exactly what he wanted to see.
He then turned his phone screen toward Mo Tianshu: "We live in the information age. Except for extremely serious safety accidents and events with significant impact, other events will spread throughout the country within half an hour."
"With the added fuel of the fire by certain individuals, the whole world will know about this."
"You think it's just formalism now, but what about the future?"
"Suddenly one day, at a crucial moment, these things are unearthed by someone. Guess what, will this cause problems?"
"I don't want to be the village chief forever, so I don't want to give anyone leverage against me, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Mo Tianshu nodded, extending his right hand with fingers spread out in front of Lin Man:
"What benefit would I get?"
"The benefits are huge!" Lin Man bent over like a Japanese soldier, raised his right thumb, and waved his hand with a sly look on his face:
"But you have to cooperate."
"Sure!" Mo Tianshu spread his five fingers: "Get me a place near my house, and a salary of five thousand a month, eight hours a day, and weekends off."
"..." Lin Man didn't speak, but simply extended his right hand, inviting Mo Tianshu to shake hands.
In the past, he would have described Mo Tianshu as having a wild idea, but now, this is not a wild idea.
Seeing him extend his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Mo Tianshu's eyes, then he extended his own hand:
"You agree?"
"Agreed!" Lin Man nodded, pointing casually towards the village entrance with his left hand: "But it's not possible right now. You can start working in a few days after I've sorted things out in the village and at the factory."
After he finished speaking, Mo Tianshu released his grip: "Don't you want to ask me what I want to do?"
"You don't need to think about anything!" Lin Man waved his hand in refusal: "Security captain, 5000 a month after taxes and social insurance."
"If you agree, then go and persuade your brother-in-law Wei Shouheng, who is in trouble, and your cousin Mo Tianli right now."
"Then you, Wei Shouheng, Mo Tianli, Mo Chenghai, the four of you, hurry up and register the eligible villagers in your four village groups for me."
"Those whose household registration has already been moved out don't need to be worried about."
"Security captain..." Mo Tianshu rested his chin on his right hand, thought for a moment, then took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, breathed on them, and wiped them with his sleeve: "That works too..."
Seeing that he agreed, Lin Man waved his hand, turned around and left: "I'll leave Wei Shouheng and Mo Tianli to you. I'm leaving now."
Lin Man walked out of Mo Tianshu's house, raised his hands, and stretched.
As soon as he put his hands down, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that several children were playing at the mouth of the Qinghe River and on the beach. He looked around and found a suitable vine in a corner.
Holding the rattan cane in his hand, he walked towards the beach while making a phone call to Mo Tianshu.
After explaining the whole story, he arrived at the beach and smiled at the children.
"Little friend, children shouldn't play in the water!"
"You old bastard, you get out of here..." Before he could finish the word "get lost," the rattan cane in Lin Man's hand was already on the legs of the children:
"Damn it, you're so disrespectful to elders and children! You dared to play in the water? I'll beat you to death!"
"Get your ass back home right now!"
After pulling the children out of the water and back to shore, Lin Man was in high spirits. He hummed a song and strolled leisurely toward the village committee.
The village committee hasn't been set up yet, so he has to personally take on the work of grid management personnel and public service window staff.
So annoying!
I had just sat down at the village committee's public service window and hadn't even had a sip of water when a Mercedes-Benz E300 with a Shanghai license plate (沪C) drove into the village committee, and a woman got out of the driver's seat.
The woman who got out of the car didn't rush to the village committee. Instead, she went around to the right rear door of the E300 and opened the door.
The next second, a tall, well-built foreigner in a white suit stepped out of the car.
The foreigner took off his sunglasses, glanced around, and was about to speak when two horn blared behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a BYD Qin stopped next to the E300.
The car door opened, and four foreigners climbed out. The four glanced at the foreigner standing next to the Mercedes-Benz E300, and then, led by a young man, headed straight for the public service window.
Behind them, the foreigner who had gotten off the bus first quickly followed.
As they approached the window, the group saw Lin Man sitting inside, and their expressions immediately became quite interesting.
Lin Man, who was inside the window, had a very interesting expression after seeing these people.
Because these people were none other than Amar, who had previously been doing business in Guangzhou, and his three subordinates, with Lucius as the foreigner behind them.
Upon seeing them, Lin Man's face began to twitch.
Based on previous interactions, these two groups should not know each other, but now, they have arrived here one after the other.
There's a problem here.
Just as he was about to ask a question, Lucius, who was standing at the back of the crowd, took out his phone and snapped a picture of Lin Man.
He then added some funny music and casually posted it on Douyin (TikTok).
After posting, he didn't forget to recite the title he had chosen:
"The village party secretary, a self-taught scientist who framed a female top scorer in the college entrance examination, is still working at the public service window. Is this a sign of moral decay or a distortion of humanity? Please follow me into the village committee to witness this twisted scene!"
After sending it, he waved to Lin Man and asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of the title I came up with?"
"Heh!" Lin Man chuckled coldly, pointing at Lucius before turning to Amal: "How did you two end up together?"
Upon hearing the question, Lucius stepped past Amar, braced his hands on the window counter, and explained to Lin Man, "Last night I went to see Mr. Wang Ju, and he said your goods are ready and he is processing the customs declaration documents."
"Mr. Amar also went. We met and discussed it, so we decided to organize a foreign business delegation to come and observe together."
"But this place is really hard to find. And Mr. Lin, I remember that in your country, the village party secretary should be an official, right?"
"Why are you stationed at this service window? And don't you have any other staff members from your village? Could it be that your village... isn't up to the task?"
Lucius was speaking, and Lin Man was listening, but since the other man spoke entirely in the first tone, it was hard for him to tell if the guy was being sarcastic or not.
After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the Mercedes-Benz E300 outside:
"Then how come you have a Shanghai C license plate?"
