Farming Space Makes Me Rich (3)

Chapter 599: Rejected

As for the second reason, it was even more confusing. The proposal provided the budgets and the funding sources for everything.

Therefore, it felt purposeful that the city leader had blocked this proposal. However, this was their leader so what could the officials beneath him say anything?

Unless someone even higher on the ladder came to say something.

The secretary said carefully, "Leader, are we going to send the proposal back to Xing Yin County for another approval?"

The leader frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Let's keep it here first!" He rejected the approval because someone told him to. He wanted to observe. Mainly, how did Xiao Lingyu manage to offend this person? It was unbelievable that a country woman could offend a powerful family in City Z.

However, at the same time, it also showed that this woman was capable.

The secretary was doubtful after she heard her leader but she still replied respectfully, "Yes!"

...

Xiao Lingyu came to city Z. She approached Zeng Yaozu to see if he had any connections.

"I have a university classmate who is now a civil servant. He is in the City Z admin. How about I make an appointment with this old classmate?"

After Zeng Yaozu heard the reason why Xiao Lingyu came to city Z, he thought about his network in City Z.

Xiao Lingyu said, "How is your relationship with that classmate? Will it be troublesome? If it's too difficult, then forget it. I'll think of another way."

Zeng Yaozu said with a smile, "Don't worry. I have a good relationship with him. We have always kept in touched. We have even gone out for dinner a few times. How about it? I'll ask to see if he's free today. How about a dinner together?"

Xiao Lingyu thought for a while and said, "Sure!"

Then, Zeng Yaozu made a phone call to his old classmate in front of Xiao Lingyu.

"Xuefeng, how about dinner tonight?"

"However, I need a favor from you. Of course, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Okay, it's a deal then! Let's meet at our usual place!"

After Zeng Yaozu hung up the phone, he smiled and said to Xiao Lingyu, "Let's meet at the Four Seasons Green Food Stall Tonight!"

"Four Seasons Green Food Stall?" Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows.

This was not a very high-class place.

Zeng Yaozu said, "When we were in university, we loved places like that the most. The food is delicious, and the price is cheap. When we were students, we didn't have much money." Even young masters had to learn how to budget when they were in university.

Although they had decent family conditions, their living expenses were restricted. They couldn't afford to go to high-class restaurants often. So sometimes, they would frequent food stalls.

The habit stuck even after they graduated. They still chose to go to the big food stalls when they had a meal together.

...

When Li Xuefeng received a call from Zeng Yaozu, he wondered what kind of favor he needed this time. For a moment, he was in a difficult position.

As a civil servant working in the government, he had to be careful with his every move.

He knew that Zeng Yaozu was the general manager of the famous fruit and vegetable supermarket in City Z. Even though the price was high, they were still being snatched up daily.

When they met up, Zeng Yaozu often brought some fresh vegetables from the supermarket to him.

The taste of the vegetables was really superb. No wonder people were willing to fight for them in spite of the high price.

He didn't reject Zeng Yaozu outright. He wasn't in a hurry to refuse. He wanted to meet him first and see what the situation was like first.

What if it was really a small favor? He didn't want to hurt the feeling of his friend for many years.

With this thought in mind, Li Xuefeng stayed until he got off work.

Then, he drove straight to the Four Seasons Green Food Stall.

When he arrived at the private booth, he pushed open the door. His pupils suddenly shrank, and then his eyes lit up.

Could it be that his old classmate wanted to match make?

After all, he was still single.

He was a civil servant. Many girls with good conditions were willing to marry him. However, many people who knew Li Xuefeng were not willing to marry their daughter or their friends to Li Xuefeng.

The main reason was that Li Xuefeng was a mommy's boy, and his mother liked to intervene in his life.

Therefore, Li Xuefeng went on hundreds of blind dates, but whenever it seemed like he was going to succeed, the next day, his mother would tell him to reject the girls.

Li Xuefeng was also annoyed, but it was impossible for him to completely ignore his mother's opinion.

Therefore, Li Xuefeng was still a bachelor.

When he saw the girl in the booth, he naturally assumed that his old classmate had set up a blind date for him.
