Two days later, staff from Yunqing Television arrived at Luofeng Village.
In the village committee courtyard.
Tian Mengyao and Wu Lei were busy with everything, ushering in the leaders and the television crew.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was at home, being fussed over by his sister-in-law and Song Yue.
"Your tie is a little crooked, let me fix it for you."
Xia Xue looked nervous, carefully adjusting Lin Fan's tie.
Song Yue stood behind him, smoothing out any tiny creases on Lin Fan's clothes.
"I say, you two, do you have to be like this?"
Lin Fan sighed helplessly, "Aunt Li just came to call me, I need to go quickly."
Xia Xue examined him from head to toe, and after confirming he was fine, instructed, "Xiao Fan, you must be careful what you say today, don't make a fool of yourself."
"Sister-in-law, you've said this countless times since yesterday. How about you go, and I'll stay home?"
Lin Fan was a little impatient.
Song Yue chuckled. She knew Lin Fan was about to be reprimanded.
As expected.
Xia Xue slapped Lin Fan on the forehead, "I'm being serious, stop playing coy with me."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Lin Fan nodded repeatedly.
Xia Xue circled him once more before a satisfied smile appeared, "Alright, let's go."
"Okay."
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt like a young bride going to her wedding. His sister-in-law had started preparing since before dawn, and it was almost eight o'clock, and he still hadn't left the house.
Soon, Lin Fan arrived at the village committee.
The first things he saw were the television interview vehicle and several official cars, followed by Tian Mengyao's hearty laughter and Wu Lei's obsequious old face.
"Do they have to go to this extent?"
Lin Fan shook his head and walked into the village committee courtyard.
The usually deserted courtyard was filled with tables and chairs everywhere, and there were bottles of mineral water costing two yuan each. How extravagant!
It was early spring, with a gentle breeze and warm sun, comfortable for basking in the outdoors.
A middle-aged man with a bald head and glasses was surrounded by everyone, with Tian Mengyao sitting beside him, and her subordinates and television staff further down.
Across from them, a young woman with heavy makeup holding a microphone looked familiar to Lin Fan.
"Isn't this that famous reporter, what's her name again, Fan Qian, I think."
Lin Fan tried hard to recall her name.
Speaking of which, Fan Qian was a household name in Yunqing City. Even if people couldn't recall her name, they recognized her face. She was truly the flower of the television station.
"Xiao Fan!"
Tian Mengyao's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Fan arrive.
"Come here quickly!"
Tian Mengyao beckoned.
Lin Fan smiled and walked over.
Fan Qian looked surprised, turned to Tian Mengyao, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the supervisor sent by the investor you mentioned?"
One million yuan for investment wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. In this day and age, someone who could come up with a million yuan at once must have a net worth of at least ten million. xxs1
Fan Qian had initially thought that Lin Fan, whom Tian Mengyao often mentioned, must be some disreputable second-generation rich kid.
She never expected him to be so different from her imagination.
"Yes."
When Tian Mengyao saw Lin Fan's attire, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
"Oh, it's indeed your generation's world now," the director of the poverty alleviation office, Tang Ming, said with a smile. "Secretary Tian, you are young, and this supervisor is also young. I believe that under your leadership, Luofeng Village's medicinal herb planting cooperative will achieve great things."
"Thank you for your praise, Director Tang," Tian Mengyao said. She then stood up and added, "Please excuse me for a moment."
She quickly walked to Lin Fan.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, my sister-in-law..."
Before Lin Fan could finish his explanation, he heard Tian Mengyao ask in a low voice, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Is there something wrong with my attire?"
Lin Fan was surprised.
They had prepared for so long this morning. If there was still a problem, would he have to put on makeup too?
Was it that exaggerated?
"This suit of yours looks low-class, and the tie, it would have been better if you hadn't worn it, it's too unfashionable!"
Tian Mengyao pouted and reprimanded him.
She had originally planned to call Lin Fan to the village committee this morning and style him herself.
However, she was too embarrassed to say this to outsiders, and ended up waiting and waiting until the television crew arrived, but Lin Fan still hadn't shown up.
"Go to my dorm. There's a suit on the bed," Tian Mengyao said.
"Is that appropriate?"
Lin Fan gestured with his eyes, "The reporters and leaders are here, what will it look like if I leave now?"
"Go when I tell you to!"
Tian Mengyao pushed him, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
Lin Fan had no choice but to go to Tian Mengyao's dorm with a foolish smile.
"Huh? Why did he leave?"
Tang Ming asked in surprise.
Fan Qian was also bewildered and guessed, "Perhaps he went to prepare something."
"Oh."
Tang Ming nodded, thinking it made sense.
Tian Mengyao walked back and said with a smile, "I asked him to prepare some documents so that Director Tang can review them later."
"There's no need for all this trouble," Tang Ming knew very well that he was just there to put on a show.
With Tian Mengyao's influential background, she could handle anything perfectly. He was merely a prop for her to polish her image.
To put it bluntly, as the director of the poverty alleviation office, he didn't even dare to seek any benefits from Tian Mengyao.
Fan Qian, observing the situation, realized that Tian Mengyao had an extraordinary background.
The three of them chatted harmoniously until Lin Fan reappeared, dressed in an Armani suit.
Tian Mengyao's eyes instantly lit up.
This was the prince charming she had in mind!
Indeed, clothes make the man. He looked so much more presentable.
Fan Qian's beautiful eyes also sparkled, and she nodded in approval.
Now he looked like a rich young master!
However, his steady demeanor was far superior to that of a idle rich second-generation heir!
Lin Fan's face was flushed red, and he even stumbled a little as he walked.
Earlier, he had received a large pile of luxury goods from Zhou Yi. While helping his sister-in-law organize them, he had casually brushed up on brand knowledge.
Armani was undoubtedly one of the top brands.
He didn't know anything else, but it was definitely expensive.
This suit would certainly cost more than ten thousand yuan!
No wonder Tian Mengyao looked down on the clothes his sister-in-law had prepared for him.
That set cost a mere five hundred yuan at most, and it couldn't compare to something worth over ten thousand.
"Hello, Director, hello, Reporter Fan," Lin Fan said nervously.
"Hello, Director Lin," Tang Ming replied with a smile.
"Xiao Fan, sit here."
Tian Mengyao extended her arm and pulled over a chair.
Seeing this, Wu Lei's expression changed immediately.
Earlier, out of a sense of hierarchy, he had sat behind Tian Mengyao.
If Lin Fan were to sit there, he would be directly blocked.
He had lived for almost fifty years, and this was a rare opportunity to be seen. He absolutely could not miss it!
With this thought, Wu Lei glared at Lin Fan like a knife.
