Chapter 312: A Piece of Good News!
As soon as Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue arrived, they were surrounded by a crowd of people, each greeting them enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhang, it's been a while since our last meeting," one person said.
"Director Lin, we met at the soybean project, do you remember?" another asked.
"Mr. Zhang, the success of this Night Market Town will depend on your farm," a third person added.
"..."
The crowd was full of enthusiasm, surrounding Zhang Lin.
At this moment, County Magistrate Liu also approached with his team, "Mr. Zhang, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you."
"Magistrate Liu, you're too kind," Zhang Lin replied with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, will you join us for the ribbon-cutting ceremony?" Magistrate Liu asked with a smile.
"Let Director Lin do it. You know I don't like being in the spotlight," Zhang Lin said with a laugh.
"Alright, then Director Lin will do it," Magistrate Liu nodded.
After that, he led Zhang Lin into the venue.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in a square connected to the main street of the Night Market Town.
This square would become the central hub of the entire Night Market Town.
Cars arriving from the railway station would park in this square, and buses to the farm would do the same.
A designated area had been set up for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
As Zhang Lin was escorted inside, people around him turned their heads in curiosity, wondering who this young man was.
After all, those invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony were all prominent figures in Yu City, at least in the eyes of these people.
Bao Tai and his father were looking at a storefront, which his father had already negotiated for and planned to open as a branch store in this area.
Therefore, on this day of the main street's opening, all the shops were being handed over, and he had taken a leave of absence to help his father inspect the premises.
"Who is this young man? Why are all these people surrounding him?" His father was genuinely surprised as he looked at the square.
Bao Tai turned to look and exclaimed, "That seems to be our farm's boss."
"That young man?" His father was astonished.
"Yes, he's my boss," Bao Tai confirmed.
"So young, he must be a second-generation rich kid," his father said in amazement.
"No, the boss seems to have started from scratch," Bao Tai shook his head.
"Other people's children are truly remarkable," his father couldn't help but comment.
"..." Bao Tai felt something was amiss when he heard his father's words. His boss was indeed exceptional, but what did his father mean by that?
His father, noticing his reaction, quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, I just said it casually."
"Dad, it's better if you don't explain," Bao Tai felt speechless.
...
County Magistrate Liu had already welcomed Zhang Lin in, but since Zhang Lin didn't want to participate in the ribbon-cutting, he could only arrange for him to rest in the relaxation area first, accompanied by Wei Yuan.
As for Zhao Han, the Tourism Bureau Director, he was definitely going to be present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
After all, before his promotion, the Night Market Town had been under his jurisdiction.
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, leaders like Magistrate Liu, along with investors from Youcheng First Construction, took their places on the podium.
A red ribbon adorned with large red flowers was pulled to both sides, awaiting the ceremonial cut by these dignitaries.
Before that, Magistrate Liu stepped up to the microphone and delivered an impassioned speech, "Welcome everyone to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the main street of the Night Market Town. I'm sure many of you have been eagerly awaiting the completion of this town, and I feel the same.
"The completion of the Night Market Town means increased economic revenue for Yu City and more earnings for everyone, which is exactly what the county government hopes for."
"Of course, we must also thank Liyuan Farm here. It's because of Liyuan Farm's development that Yu City has attracted countless tourists, and that's why the Night Market Town was born..."
As County Magistrate Liu spoke, thunderous applause erupted from all around.
They wholeheartedly agreed with his words, as they had indeed benefited greatly.
The influx of tourists brought them substantial profits.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have rented these shops. It was the tourists from Liyuan Farm that made them wealthy.
Without this premise, no matter how grand the county's promises were, they wouldn't have rented these shops.
After County Magistrate Liu finished speaking, he moved behind the red ribbon and called the others over.
Lin Muxue, as the representative of Liyuan Farm, naturally stood in the center alongside County Magistrate Liu during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Next were the representatives from Yu City's First Construction and other investors, each standing in their designated spots, holding a pair of scissors. They each grasped a section of the red ribbon and simultaneously cut it with a single snip.
In an instant, the entire red ribbon was divided into several segments.
Then, countless colorful ribbons began to spray out from all directions, creating a dense shower of ribbon rain.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, they saw that a fire had been lit in the square, and people had started cooking in the open air.
The lunch banquet was to be held in this open-air square at noon. After all, it was only fitting to hold the banquet here, where the construction began, as it would hold a different meaning if held elsewhere.
After the ribbon-cutting, County Magistrate Liu immediately went to greet Zhang Lin, "Mr. Zhang, please excuse the wait."
"No worries, I had a great chat with Director Wei," Zhang Lin smiled and replied.
County Magistrate Liu nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, your farm's Ancient Hanfu Project is impressive. We also took the opportunity to develop some retro tourism projects, which complement the Hanfu theme. So, we hope your farm's account can help promote these projects."
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "County Magistrate Liu, this is a small matter. I'll make arrangements later."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang," County Magistrate Liu expressed his sincere gratitude.
Indeed, if it weren't for meeting Mr. Zhang, many of the county's affairs wouldn't have been so easy to carry out.
In an instant, others surrounded them as well. After all, aside from County Magistrate Liu's government associates, the rest were all businesspeople, naturally wanting to meet and perhaps even become acquainted with Zhang Lin.
After all, you never know when you might need a favor.
At noon, after the lunch banquet at the Night Market Town, Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue returned to Liyuan Farm together.
However, as he had consumed some alcohol, he couldn't drive himself. County Magistrate Liu had called a traffic police officer to help drive his car back to the farm.
Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue sat in the back seat, and as the car started, Zhang Lin received a call from the farm.
Upon hearing the news from the call, a delighted expression appeared on Zhang Lin's face, "Really? Great, I'll be right back."
"What's with the sudden excitement?" Lin Muxue curiously asked after he hung up the phone.
"I'm just happy to hear some good news," Zhang Lin replied promptly.
