Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 599: Rejected

“What, blocked? Why?” Xiao Lingyu was puzzled when she received the notification that her approval application had been blocked.

Her proposal passed smoothly through Xing An Town and Xing Yin County, so why did it get stuck at City Z?

“Is there a reason?” Xiao Lingyu asked Qian Yifan.

The application was stuck in City Z. As the head of Xing Yi County, Qian Guoxin naturally had his own information channels. However, due to his identity, he could not tell Xiao Lingyu directly, so he informed Xiao Lingyu through his son.

Qian Yifan shook his head and said, “My dad doesn’t know the specific reason either. But I heard from my dad that the crux is the city council leader. I heard that this new leader was only appointed a year ago.”

Xiao Lingyu frowned. This meant that Qian Yifan’s dad did not know the reason either. This was a little unexpected and troublesome.

However, she would not stop working on the funding.

She would have to go to City Z herself to understand the real reason.

However, other than Yan Siming, she didn’t have any real connection in City Z. While she used to work there, she only had colleagues and no friends. Plus, no one would want to befriend her back then anyway.

If there was no other way, she could only ask Yan Siming for help or use the power of the Gong family.

However, Gong Tianhao was in a coma. The news of him being seriously injured in the hospital had spread among the upper-class society. If she used Gong Tianhao’s power, she worried that it would attract the attention of some unsightly characters. Therefore, this was her last resort. It was to protect their son.

Xiao Lingyu put down the phone and sighed, “Tianhao, how are you healing? I miss you. Do you know that our son is almost seven months?”

Her eyes were filled with endless longing!

In the past few months, she had secretly visited Gong Tianhao under Situ Xing’s arrangements. However, she really wanted him to open his eyes and talk to her.

Xiao Ling said that it would take at least two to three years for Gong Tianhao’s brain to recover.

Only a few months had passed, but it felt like torture. She could only use her busy work to forget about him. However, in the dead of the night, she fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Ling also said that Gong Tianhao’s brain had been reorganized. Even if he woke up, he might lose his memory. As for when he could remember the past, it was hard to say.

“Gong Tianhao, you can’t forget me. If you forget me, my son and I will definitely not forgive you.” Xiao Lingyu lowered her eyes and muttered to herself.

...

In City Z’s admin building...

“Leader, the majority of the officials believe that the project for Taoyuan Village to be made into a farming tourism center is not bad. Why...” didn’t you approve it? The leader’s secretary asked with some double. The secretary didn’t understand the rejection given by his boss.

Any discerning person could tell that if this project succeeded, it would benefit the villagers, the town, the county, and even the city. However, the city leader had to block it and the reason was very strange. It was because the project would occupy farmland and a lack of funds.

Everyone was confused.

It was written clearly in the proposal that no farmland would be occupied. At least some additional security measures would be added.

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.
