Chapter 129 With me in the right place, glory will surely follow.
Chapter 129 With me in the right place, glory will surely follow.
As soon as Gao Mengli and Dou Weiyi left Tutao Village, Zhao Chen drove an oxcart and waited at the village entrance.
He waved to Gao Mengli from afar, "Sister-in-law Lin, over here!"
Gao Mengli's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over. "Oh, what brings you here?"
Zhao Chen patted the cow with a grin, and a heavy breath came out of the cow's nose. "Brother Lin couldn't find you, so he specially sent me to pick you up."
Gao Mengli was secretly pleased, but she pretended to be reproachful: "He's good at ordering people around, but he doesn't come himself!"
Zhao Chen scratched his head. "Brother Lin was taken to Ju'an District by Qin Shen Shen. He got tied up with something, hehe..."
Gao Mengli was full of questions. "Huh, what's he doing in Ju'an District?"
After saying that, he quickly climbed onto the oxcart.
Seeing him get into the car, Zhao Chen was about to crack the whip and head back to the city.
At this moment, Dou Weiyi coughed lightly from the side.
Gao Mengli frowned, looking puzzled. "Lord Dou, is there something you need?"
Dou Weiyi almost vomited blood from her chest.
Shouldn't a normal person invite him, a local official, to ride in the car with them?
Gao Mengli glanced at Dou Weiyi suspiciously. "My lord, would you like to come up and sit with me?"
This county magistrate probably wouldn't ride in an oxcart, since high-ranking officials like him would likely look down on such "convertibles."
To everyone's surprise, Dou Wei immediately beamed upon hearing this, lifted the hem of his official robe, and nimbly climbed onto the oxcart.
"Oh, thank you so much!"
Judging by the time, the carriage that took his uncle back should be back soon, then he won't have to walk everywhere anymore.
What a tragedy, having to hitch a ride with someone else.
Seeing that he actually got into the car, Gao Mengli had a new understanding of him.
This person is really good at taking advantage of others.
So he gave Zhao Chen a wink, and the oxcart slowly set off towards Pingyao County.
Dou Weiyi got off the oxcart halfway and returned to the yamen, while the oxcart continued towards Ju'an District.
Ju'an District is located at the intersection of Dongcheng and Nancheng.
Gao Mengli could hear Lin Xi's voice from afar.
Lin Xi raised her hand passionately to the people below, "Come on, shout out our Ju'an District's slogan!"
The crowd shouted at the top of their lungs: "Training intensively to recharge, boundless energy, with us here to ensure safety, glory will surely follow!"
Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction and waved her right hand, "Welcome everyone to the training camp for high-quality gigolos in Ju'an District!"
"Everyone, listen to my command and shout out the motto of our training program!"
The crowd shouted in unison: "Use your charm to your advantage, win over the rich woman, and you'll be on your way to wealth!"
The sound resounded through the sky.
Gao Mengli, who was about to get off the oxcart, slipped and tumbled off the cart when she heard this.
"Ouch--"
Hearing the commotion, Lin Xi quickly pushed her way through the crowd and ran out.
Upon seeing Gao Mengli, his eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly pulled her up from the ground. "Mengli, you're here!"
Gao Mengli rubbed her sore bottom, looking at her with curiosity, "Xixi, what are you doing?"
At this point, Lin Xi explained with great enthusiasm, "Oh, it's because I couldn't find you when I went back to change my clothes, so I came with Qin Shen to check on you."
He had some business to attend to at the government office, so he asked me to help him train the men in Ju'an District, and left Ruan Dan here to help me keep things under control.
Gao Mengli steadied herself with Lin Xi's help and glanced at the man beside the platform a few more times.
Next to him stood a wooden board with the words "High-Quality Soft Rice Male Training Class" written in charcoal.
Gao Mengli: ……
Then I looked down at the group of limping and broken-armed residents of Ju'an District.
Gao Mengli was bewildered in the wind...
He waved to Lin Xi, "Then... you go ahead and get busy, I'll wait for you here."
Lin Xi nodded, "Then Mengli, you sit over there, it'll be over in a bit!"
Having said that, Lin Xi ran back to the platform and asked, "Everyone, what is the purpose of your visit here today?"
The crowd shouted at the top of their lungs, "We want to be kept by women!"
Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, there's nothing shameful about being a kept man! Being able to do so is a testament to your individual abilities. Come on, shout out our slogan!"
The crowd shouted at the top of their lungs, "There's no such thing as a free lunch, only lazy cowards who don't try!"
Ruan Dan: ...
He suspected that Lin Xi was subtly criticizing him, but unfortunately he had no evidence...
Lin Xi was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of his subordinates: "Everyone, it's not shameful to be a kept man; being able to be a kept man is a skill in itself!"
Ruan Dan, bring the apprentices up on stage to encourage the audience!
Ruan Dan pouted and reluctantly led several "graduated" students onto the stage.
Lin Xi was excitedly preparing to show everyone her results when she spotted a familiar face in the crowd—Da Jun.
Lin Xi's eyes widened, and she pointed at Da Jun with a shocked expression: "Da Jun, what are you doing here?"
Da Jun scratched his head. "Hehe, I'm from Ju'an District!"
I was originally going back to the village, but Ruan Dan called me back halfway, so I came back with him.
Lin Xi suddenly realized why Da Jun was able to marry such a beautiful wife; it turned out they were "official partners"!
Lin Xi turned to the crowd below and introduced, "Everyone, these are the senior students who have graduated!"
Look at this guy—Dajun. In our Wangyue Village, he also has a beautiful wife!
He is hardworking, honest, and his life is getting better and better!
This guy, Lu Ren, he already has a carriage…
Suddenly, someone below raised their hand, interrupting Lin Xi, "Mr. Lin, why are there two beggars next to us?"
Lin Xi glanced at the two of them. "Oh, those are negative examples."
In our line of work, we must remember not to rely on two men for financial support; they're breaking the rules.
He hid all the benefits he received, his greed was insatiable, and he tried to fool both sides. What was the result?
He was disloyal to both sides, so he abandoned both.
Ju'an District gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it, so now they're like rats crossing the street. You can't follow their example.
Whatever you earn or gain, you must go home and hand it over to your wives who don't despise you.
A harmonious family is the foundation of prosperity!
The audience nodded in agreement, and one of the students shouted, "Mr. Lin, we will definitely not follow their example. We will be the epitome of being a kept man, keeping rich women happy and taking good care of our families!"
Lin Xi smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's good that you have this awareness."
After saying that, Lin Xi glanced at everyone and pointed at a few people, "You, you, you... get out, you are not qualified."
The elderly men who were named raised their hands in protest, saying, "I disagree."
Several other young people also protested.
Lin Xi crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Gentlemen, even gigolos have to meet certain criteria regarding looks and age. Don't make things difficult for me."
And you guys, dressed so sloppily, you're so lazy.
If you can't even keep yourself clean, how can you help others with household chores, let alone take care of the elderly and children?
"You all go out. The old men, go sweep the streets and clean up; the young men, go fetch water from the public toilets to flush them."
Idleness won't do; let them participate in the development of Pingyao County and support themselves first.
Although the eliminated people were unwilling, they could only slowly walk off the field under the gaze of everyone.
Gao Mengli looked at Lin Xi, who was shining on the stage, and smiled.
At the same time, I'm curious about where Dou Weiyi found this group of people.
