Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 496: County Magistrate Bai Arrives

"You are indeed a doer," County Magistrate Bai hinted meaningfully, "Let’s go and listen to Mr. Qin’s speech. Mr. Qin is also quite the go-getter. An old hand like him meeting a young activist like you - Qin Family Village is truly blessed."

"I can’t take the credit, it all depends on the village chief," Lin Chuxia said modestly, making a welcoming gesture.

Mayor Guo had already stood up over there.

With County Magistrate Bai arriving, he had to yield the seat of honor.

County Magistrate Bai, however, was not shy and took the seat again.

The village chief was still speaking; his few pages of speech indicated thoughtful preparation. His brief speech filled everyone with passion, and the applause from below was continuous.

Especially the villagers of Qin Family Village, each of them seemed as if they were invigorated with a shot of adrenaline.

County Magistrate Bai said with a smile to Mayor Guo, "Look, just look, Mr. Qin is really getting more and more capable. With a leader like Qin Family Village, Ancheng Town must make the most of it. The development of Qin Family Village is there for all the people of the county to see. We really need to create a few more villages like Qin Family Village."

Mayor Guo nodded in agreement, "Exactly, this year’s advancement award undoubtedly belongs to Qin Family Village. At every village cadre meeting, I encourage everyone to learn from Qin Family Village. But they say that they too want to learn from Qin Family Village, yet they don’t have a Lin Chuxia."

Both men’s gazes fell on Lin Chuxia at the same time, and they smiled helplessly.

Especially County Magistrate Bai, not to mention Qin Family Village relying on Lin Chuxia, didn’t he also rely on Lin Chuxia for what he wanted to accomplish?

"Next time they say that, you tell them to also cultivate a few leaders. If there’s no Lin Chuxia, they can have a Zhang Chuxia or Li Chuxia."

Lin Chuxia, who had been silently listening: "..."

The village chief saw County Magistrate Bai below while giving his speech, and in his excitement, he nearly forgot his following lines.

In the past, it was always County Magistrate Bai speaking on stage, with them listening below. Today’s occasion gave him the feeling of being highly esteemed by the county leadership.

The speech was followed by the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Lin Chuxia had already asked Wang Cheng to prepare again, adding County Magistrate Bai to the event. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"County Magistrate Bai, Mayor Guo, please."

Lin Chuxia personally guided both men on stage. Amidst the wave of applause and cheerful music from the audience, the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed, and the Qin Family Village Vegetable Wholesale Market was officially established.

County Magistrate Bai had another meeting in the afternoon and had to leave after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

He took Lin Chuxia aside, "The matter at Ancheng Food Factory has been basically settled, just currently dealing with employee assessments. Most of the staff are still very dissatisfied with this, of course, the county leadership will definitely support your work. It’s just that the new leader has yet to appear, which makes the staff restless. See if you have time to come to the county in the next day or two, we should sit down and discuss the next steps, and then make another trip to Ancheng Food Factory."

"I was just thinking the same," Lin Chuxia didn’t demur this time. Since he had decided to take over Ancheng Food Factory, he had to seriously consider his own interests, "Tomorrow, I will go there with Factory Director Su."

"Good, I’ll wait for you in my office."

County Magistrate Bai was also very satisfied with Lin Chuxia’s attitude.

After seeing off County Magistrate Bai, Lin Chuxia and the village cadres hosted several leaders from the town.

Besides the Vegetable Wholesale Market, they also discussed some other industries in the village, including the upcoming road construction project in Qin Family Village.

To the village chief and Lin Chuxia’s surprise, the town provided additional funding to support the construction in Qin Family Village.

Although it wasn’t much, it was enough to show the attitude of the town’s leadership.

...............

The next day, Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong went together to the office of the County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Bai was already waiting in the office. Besides County Magistrate Bai, there were two comrades from the county government responsible for facilitating the integration of Ancheng Food Factory and Xiyang Food Factory.

Also present was Ji Xingwei, the director of Ancheng Food Factory.

Once everyone had arrived, County Magistrate Bai initiated the discussion about the specific plan for Ancheng Food Factory to be incorporated by Xiyang Food Factory.

The details did not deviate much from what had been previously mentioned to Lin Chuxia. Moving forward, Lin Chuxia would start to handover work with Ji Xingwei gradually, as well as to take stock of Ancheng Food Factory’s property situation.

During today’s meeting, Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong listened attentively, as it related to their personal interests, especially regarding the division of assets. Both parties unanimously agreed to sign the agreement.

Before that, Lin Chuxia had requested to inspect Ancheng Food Factory herself.

County Magistrate Bai naturally had no objections. Once the general details were set, it was already noon.

County Magistrate Bai arranged for everyone present to dine at the county government canteen and to head directly to Ancheng Food Factory in the afternoon.

The county government canteen’s standards were quite good. Lin Chuxia took a plate and chose three dishes, one meat, one vegetable, and one cold dish, requesting one tael of rice.

After getting her food, she first went to find a seat, preparing to sit and wait for Su Wensong while eating.

Just as she sat down, someone approached from the opposite side.

Ji Xingwei, with a cheerful smile, put down his tray, "Can I sit here?"

The table was a long one seating four people. Lin Chuxia nodded, "Sure."

Only after Ji Xingwei sat down, he began to speak while picking up his chopsticks, "I didn’t expect to see Mr. Lin again under these circumstances," he paused for a moment, glanced at Lin Chuxia with a smile, "Maybe Mr. Lin had foreseen this?"

Lin Chuxia focused on eating, swallowing the food in her mouth before speaking, "Yesterday, the vegetable wholesale market of Qin Family Village officially opened. The Qin Family Village Vegetable Market covers an area of more than twenty acres, accommodating up to five thousand people and hundreds of vehicles. Two weeks ago, I opened a clothing mall in Yan City, maintaining daily turnover in the four-digit range. Last month, Xiyang Food Factory entered the Southern Market, establishing an office in Rong City. Every two weeks, a batch of goods is sent to the south, with Rong City as the center, distributed outwards."

After finishing her speech, Lin Chuxia continued to eat, while Ji Xingwei already felt overwhelmingly ashamed.

It seemed like she was talking about unrelated topics, but Ji Xingwei understood every word, which were all responses to his earlier presumption about Mr. Lin foreseeing the situation.

She was telling him that in her eyes, Ancheng Food Factory was of no significance; she had never taken it seriously.

This woman was bold indeed, and truly had the capital to back it up.

The Southern Market, huh? He only knew that the food from Xiyang Food Factory indeed tasted better than that from Ancheng Food Factory, which was why it won the market, but in reality...

Ji Xingwei laughed quietly and did not continue to speak, bowing his head to eat earnestly.

What’s there to say? It would only be self-humiliating.

Su Wensong brought over his food and saw Ji Xingwei sitting opposite Lin Chuxia, so he exchanged customary pleasantries with Ji Xingwei and naturally sat down next to Lin Chuxia with his tray.

After lunch, the group went directly to Ancheng Food Factory.

The county had always emphasized that the ownership belonged to the county itself. To put it plainly, all assets of Ancheng Food Factory, including the right to use the land, were to be transferred to Lin Chuxia, in exchange for resolving the employment issues of over a thousand workers from Ancheng Food Factory.

As for what Lin Chuxia would do with these assets and how she would manage them, the county gave her ample room to operate without interference.
