Chapter 261: This Is How It Should Be!

"County Liu, don't worry, I'll cooperate fully," Zhang Lin thought, understanding the people of Xiamen City.

After all, the Bougainvillea is their city flower. If the five-colored Bougainvillea were to appear, they couldn't possibly cover the entire city with it. Other cities might come and snatch it away, leading to their regret.

Therefore, acting first was the best choice.

"Thanks, Mr. Zhang," County Liu immediately said with a smile.

After hanging up, Zhang Lin called Lin Muxue and instructed, "County Liu will be bringing people to the farm this afternoon to see the Bougainvillea. Make the necessary arrangements, clean the meeting room, and prepare the restaurant, as we don't know how long the talks might last."

"Got it," Lin Muxue nodded.

She was a bit surprised, as they had just returned from the county meeting about the Bougainvillea cooperative. She hadn't expected guests so soon.

After she left, Zhang Lin looked at his to-do list for the day. Other than interviewing Zhao Jie, there was nothing else.

Zhao Jie was his cousin Zhang Zhao's girlfriend, or rather, his fiancee.

Uncle Zhang He was about to visit her family to set the wedding date.

However, he couldn't join in the fun because of the zodiac conflict. His zodiac sign and his cousin's were incompatible for the wedding, meaning he couldn't meet the bride.

This was a bit superstitious, but the older generation believed in it. Many brothers and sisters would travel far away when their siblings got married.

Since the wedding arrangements were underway, Zhao Jie was now considered family. She had recently lost her job due to some issues. She had gotten into a fight, and while it wasn't her fault, the person she hit was her boss's son. Knowing that her boyfriend Zhang Zhao was a deputy chief and likely to be promoted soon, his family didn't dare to retaliate and just fired her.

Uncle Zhang He wanted to find her a good job and thought of Linyuan Farm. He asked Zhang Lin about it.

Uncle Zhang He had always taken care of their family without asking for anything in return, so Zhang Lin naturally wouldn't refuse.

Besides, she would be his future sister-in-law and part of the family.

The farm needed a cashier, and Zhao Jie's educational background was suitable.

In a company, the finance, accounting, and cashier roles are typically handled by at least two different people or departments. The accountant and cashier cannot be the same person or in the same department.

Previously, the accounting work was handled by Wang Jingjing and Chu Shang from the finance department, so a cashier was a must.

In most companies, the cashier is usually a close relative or someone the boss trusts.

As his future sister-in-law, Zhao Jie fit the bill perfectly.

Soon, Zhang Zhao called, "Xiao Lin, I've brought my wife here."

"I'm in my office, come right in," Zhang Lin said with a smile.

A moment later, Zhang Zhao, dressed in his police uniform, brought Zhao Jie into the office. He would head to the temporary office area after this.

"Mr. Zhang," Zhao Jie greeted politely.

"Sister-in-law, you can call me Xiao Lin, just like Brother Zhao," Zhang Lin invited them to sit down.

"I'll call you Mr. Zhang during work hours," Zhao Jie said, not wanting to overstep. After all, she and Zhang Zhao weren't officially married yet, and even if they were, he was still the boss.

Zhong Miaoying appeared at the door, "Mr. Zhang, would you like some tea?"

"I'll make it myself for my brother and sister-in-law," Zhang Lin smiled.

His secretary was getting better at making tea, but he didn't need to put on a show for family.

Zhang Lin brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Zhang Zhao and Zhao Jie.

Zhang Zhao took a sip and said, "Xiao Lin, thanks for taking care of Jie's job."

"Brother Zhao, why are you saying this?" Zhang Lin said, a bit annoyed, "We're family."

He then turned to Zhao Jie, "Sister-in-law, I'll have the HR manager come over to handle your onboarding and show you around the farm."

"Got it," Zhao Jie nodded, having no objections.

"Good luck," Zhang Zhao held Zhao Jie's hand, giving her encouragement.

"Thank you, I won't let you down," Zhao Jie smiled, very satisfied with her fiance. He was good-looking, in good health, already a deputy chief, and likely to be promoted soon. His family was well-off, and he had a close relationship with his cousin, the owner of Linyuan Farm.

This was a top-tier match in Youcheng, the kind other women could only dream of finding.

Therefore, she couldn't let her future in-laws down and had to prove that she wasn't just a pretty face.

Zhang Lin also called Lin Mengyao and instructed, "Mengyao, bring over a cashier onboarding form."

A moment later, Lin Mengyao arrived and handed the form to Zhang Lin.

"This is Zhao Jie. She will be our company's cashier from now on. Please take her to complete the necessary procedures and show her around the farm," Zhang Lin said as he handed the cashier's application form to Zhao Jie, not forgetting to introduce her.

"Sure, Mr. Zhang," Lin Mengyao nodded.

She wasn't stupid. The cashier position was clearly someone close to Mr. Zhang. Looking at the person next to him, she wondered if Zhao Jie was related to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally escorted her here.

Moreover, the company cashier was a position no one wanted to offend.

So, she smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, welcome to Liyuan Farm."

"Thank you," Zhao Jie responded with a smile and then took the application form to fill it out.

In no time, she had completed the form and handed it to Lin Mengyao.

Next, Zhang Lin handed Zhao Jie over to Lin Mengyao, and Zhang Zhao naturally returned to work.

With Zhao Jie's job arranged, the rest was up to her to adapt to her new work environment.

Later that afternoon.

The county was bustling with activity. County Chief Liu had already gathered Wei Yuan and co-op member Hu Bing, among others, to await the arrival of a delegation from Xiamen City. This time, it was the head of the Xiamen City Landscape Management Department, Chu Linyuan, who was personally visiting.

By rank, Chu Linyuan was higher than all of them, so the appropriate reception was necessary.

Soon, two cars from Xiamen City arrived outside the county government building, and a group of people got out of the vehicles.

County Chief Liu immediately led his team to greet them and said to Chu Linyuan, "Minister Chu, welcome, welcome. Your presence is a great honor."

Since they had brought the other party here, they naturally needed to gather all the relevant information, including details about Minister Chu.

"County Chief Liu, you're too kind," Chu Linyuan said. He had also gathered information about Youcheng before his visit, so he could easily recognize everyone.

County Chief Liu smiled and said, "Shall we head to Liyuan Farm to inspect the Bougainvillea now?"

He knew the other party had rushed here for a specific purpose, so he didn't waste time and got straight to the point.

"Yes, I'm eager to see it," Chu Linyuan nodded.

He felt relieved. With Youcheng's participation, the other party was now willing to show him the Bougainvillea without any hesitation, indicating that they truly had the five-colored Bougainvillea. The photos in the plan were likely genuine.

"Minister Chu, please," County Chief Liu said, leading the group to the cars and escorting the two vehicles from Xiamen City to Liyuan Farm.

Before they arrived at Liyuan Farm, he sent a message to Zhang Lin.

So, when they reached Liyuan Farm, Zhang Lin was already waiting with his team.

Zhang Lin didn't really want to participate in such a reception, but he came to give face to County Chief Liu.

"Minister Chu, let me introduce you. This is the owner of Liyuan Farm, Mr. Zhang," County Chief Liu introduced both sides. "Mr. Zhang, this is Minister Chu from Xiamen City, who has come specifically to inspect the Bougainvillea."

"Minister Chu, nice to meet you," Zhang Lin greeted, extending his hand.

"Mr. Zhang, you are young and accomplished," Chu Linyuan said, noting Zhang Lin's age, which was similar to his son's. He couldn't help but think about his own son, who was unsuited for a government career and lacked exceptional work skills. He felt a sense of admiration, similar to the feeling of 'a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.'

"Minister Chu, let's go see the Bougainvillea first. There are many tourists here, so we won't disturb them," County Chief Liu invited with a smile.

"Of course!" Chu Linyuan smiled in response.

Then, he followed Zhang Lin and County Chief Liu into the farm, and soon they reached the Bougainvillea planting area.

From a distance, Chu Linyuan and his team saw the vibrant colors, and their faces lit up with excitement.

"Minister Chu, it's real, a mix of several colors."

"Too beautiful, if our current Bougainvillea were replaced, it would be hard to believe."

"The Bougainvillea Street will be even more spectacular."

Chu Linyuan nodded in agreement with his subordinates. He knew the impact of the Bougainvillea's beauty, which was captivating and hard to look away from.

He couldn't believe what it would look like if they planted these Bougainvillea throughout Xiamen City, especially on the Bougainvillea Street, which would become a world of vibrant colors.

He hurried forward, quickly reaching the Bougainvillea area. Up close, the Bougainvillea was even more stunning and impactful.

County Chief Liu naturally led his team to accompany them, while Zhang Lin followed behind.

At this moment, he received a message from Lin Muxue. The message contained a screenshot of an invitation card.

But when he saw the content of the invitation, he was clearly taken aback. Why would they suddenly send him this invitation? It was quite strange.
