After lunch, Lin Fan’s phone vibrated.
12 pm!
The red packets were here!
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received three yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 1,999 yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 20,000 yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Zhenghua Building.]
Today, Lin Fan received a total of 45,834 yuan and a building.
“Zhenghua Building? It seems to be one of the few office buildings in Qing City, right? A skyscraper should be worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, right? Today’s red packet is barely okay.”
At this moment, Lin Fan’s phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was Huang De.
“Lin Fan, thank you.”
As soon as the call connected, Huang De’s extremely sincere voice came from the phone.
Originally, Huang De might have had to work at the bottom level of the Hushui Street Office for the rest of his life.
He might even be forced to separate from his girlfriend, Wang Xi.
However, because of Lin Fan… everything changed drastically.
Lin Fan said, “That’s just a small matter. Don’t worry about it. By the way, how are you and Wang Xi?”
“Her father has already agreed to us being in a relationship. If nothing goes wrong, Wang Xi and I will probably get married next year. When that time comes, Lin Fan, you must come if you have the time.” Huang De said. “Alright!” Lin Fan replied.
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.
For a while, Lin Fan’s life was very dull.
He ate, played with his phone, strolled, and slept…
Although it was dull, it was also very relaxed and comfortable.
When Lin Xiaoyao returned home for the holidays, the family returned to their hometown, Shanwu Village.
At the same time, the sound of firecrackers gradually rang out.
Lin Fan and his grandparents sat around the big round table, eating hot dumplings. They were happy.
It was the first day of the new year.
There was an unwritten rule in Shanwu Village. The first thing in the morning, the villagers would write down blessings and bring them to the family with the highest status in the village and wish the other party a happy new year.
It was not that the villagers were fawning over the powerful but that they wanted to take advantage of the festive New Year to bask in the other party’s good fortune.
The families who received the blessings would prepare black tea for the villagers, symbolizing that everyone would be prosperous in the new year.
When Lin Fan’s grandfather, Lin Liqiang, opened the door, a large group of villagers were waiting at the door with their blessings.
Moreover, they all began to give their blessings.
“Happy New Year!”
“Old Master Lin, Happy New Year!”
“Old Master Lin, we’re here to give you our blessings!”
Seeing this…
Lin Liqiang said happily, “Thank you, thank you, everyone. Quick, please come in!
“Lin Tao, Weixue, hurry up and get the stools and pour some black tea!”
When Lin Tao and Dai Weixue heard his voice, they quickly walked out.
When they saw so many villagers, they were also shocked. Then, they quickly moved the stools and poured black tea.
However, they had only moved a few stools and poured a few cups of black tea when a hearty voice sounded from outside.
“Old Master Lin, we’re here to bring you blessings!”
“Old Master Lin, happy new year!”
Following that, another large group of villagers walked in with their blessings.
Lin Liqiang said happily again, “Hahaha! Thank you, thank you, everyone! Happy New Year!”
“Lin Tao, Weixue, hurry up and get some chairs for the uncles and pour them tea!”
When Lin Tao and Dai Weixue saw that so many people had arrived, they were completely overwhelmed.
In addition, there were not enough stools and boiling water at home.
“Lil Fan, Lil Yao,” they shouted into their rooms. “Go find the uncles next door and get some stools. Get some hot water too.”
“Alright!” Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoyao replied in unison.
When they came back with stools and boiling water, another group of people walked in with blessings.
“Lil Fan, Lil Yao,” Lin Tao called out. “Hurry up and ask our guests to sit down.
Then, come and pour them some black tea!”
Instantly, the whole family was extremely busy.
The entire courtyard was soon filled with people.
Everyone was holding a cup of hot black tea in their hands and chatting with each other. It was extremely lively.
Lin Liqiang looked at the pile of blessings on the table and the dense crowd in the courtyard. He listened to the blessings that sounded from time to time in his ears. A smile lit up his wrinkled, old face.
Almost every family in the village had sent their family members to come and send him their blessings and celebrate the new year with his family. This was something that had never happened before!
At this moment, a BMW 740LI drove over from afar.
Zhou Chengjun, the general manager of Yinshan Mall, brought a lot of gifts and cupped his hands from afar. “Old Master Lin, Old Master Lin, Happy New Year!”
The last time Lin Liqiang celebrated his birthday, many villagers had seen Zhou Chengjun and knew that he was the manager of Qing City’s Yinshan Mall.
At this moment, after seeing him again, the villagers began to discuss enthusiastically.
“The Lin family is amazing! Manager Zhou, you’re here so early to pay your New Year’s greetings.”
“Yeah, it’s really enviable!”
“If there’s a big shot like Manager Zhou who comes to visit me one day, that’ll be great!”
“That’s very simple. Just head off to dreamland!”
“You bastard!”
While the villagers were discussing, a large number of Audis drove over in an orderly manner from afar like a long dragon.
When some villagers saw these cars, they could not help but shout in surprise.
“Look! So many Audis! The main point is that their license plates are K00001, K00002, K00003…”
“Oh my God!”
“Could it be that the leaders of Qing City…”
As if to verify everyone’s guess, the leaders of Qing City, including the captain of the Finance Department, the captain of the Investigation Department, and the captain of the Commerce Department, walked over.
A large group of big shots who often appeared in the news of Qing City walked over with boxes of Qing City’s specialties.
When they walked in front of Lin Liqiang, Lin Tao, Lin Fan, and the rest, they cupped their hands together and bowed, “I wish Old Master Lin a happy new year!” The leaders of Qing City came to visit him early in the morning on the first day of the new year. What kind of honor was this?
Lin Liqiang’s entire old face was already filled with a smile as he said excitedly, “Leaders, this can’t be done. This can’t be done!”
As he spoke, he went forward to help Zhao Jiaqi. “Old Master Lin, please accept it!” Zhao Jiaqi laughed.
“You probably don’t know yet, right? Brother Lin Fan has invested in multiple projects in Qing City, including an international logistics airport, a hotel, a library, a medicinal herb base, and a storage center… It has brought us more than 50 billion yuan of investments!
“This will create tens of thousands of jobs for Qing City!”
In fact, this was also the reason why Zhao Jiaqi had brought the leaders of Qing City to visit Lin Fan’s family early in the morning.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to deepen his relationship with Lin Fan, he would not be able to find a good reason..
