Hou Jingtao smiled bitterly. “There’s nothing we can do about it. He has indeed achieved results and is qualified to put on airs.”

“I think he’s just a country b.u.mpkin. He doesn’t even know what kind of outlet we are, yet he’s still being pretentious.” Sun Yiying said:

“Their leader is really too much. Why didn’t he tell him who we are? No wonder this place can’t develop. There’s a reason for everything.”

“Alright, Sister Sun, calm down. It’s about time we start. Let’s go up for the interview. If we delay it, President Lin’s interview will be postponed.”

“Let’s go. President Lin’s interview is of utmost importance. We can’t be careless.”

The two of them walked into the county office building with the interview equipment and arrived at Lin Yi’s office.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Hou Jingtao knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Lin Yi responded and the two of them pushed the door open.

However, the scene in the office made their jaws drop.

Because Lin Yi was leaning back in his chair with his feet on the desk, playing games on his phone.

Seeing the two of them enter, Lin Yi said,

“You guys find a place to sit first. This game will be over in five minutes at most.”

‘Um…’

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

He did not go down to pick them up. They thought that he was busy with work, but they did not expect him to instead be playing games here.

“Sister Sun…”

Hou Jingtao touched Sun Yiying’s hand. “Let’s put the equipment on the table first.”

Sun Yiying’s face was cold and she didn’t say anything. Then, she got to work with Hou Jingtao.

She was already dissatisfied with Lin Yi to begin with. Coupled with his current att.i.tude, the resentment in her heart deepened.

Previously, when they went to other places for interviews, they were all treated well. The people who were interviewed would even call a few staff to help them organize their equipment.

Now, not only was there no one to receive them, but they even had to personally set up the equipment!

She really had to hand it to these people. They didn’t know what was good for them at all.

Ten minutes later, the two finished organizing the interview equipment. Hou Jingtao looked at Lin Yi and said.

“Director Lin, we can start the interview now.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yi was ready because had been interviewed in Liang Ruoxu’s office before, and this time, he was familiar with the process.

“Director Lin, I have a few questions. You don’t have to be nervous. Just answer truthfully,” Sun Yiying said as she held the recording device.

“Sure, go ahead.”

“I want to ask, what did you do in the past? Why did you come to Dongsan County?”

“I used to work for a real estate company.”

“What happened after that? Why did you come here?”

“To serve the people.”

Sun Yiying and Hou Jingtao looked at each other.

This answer was too official. It was a completely fake answer.

If such an answer was reported, the netizens would probably mock it to death and think that it was all an act.

“Director Lin, although this is an interview with the official media, you don’t have to answer so formally. Answer whatever you think,” Sun Yiying said.

“That’s what I actually think. If I’m not serving the people, what am I doing in a place like this? Am I trying to get experience?”

“Sister Sun, let’s continue with the next question.”

Seeing that Sun Yiying’s expression was not quite right, Hou Jingtao quickly reminded her.

Sun Yiying calmed herself down and continued to ask,

“As far as we know, Dongsan County is famous for being a poor county. In the past few years, there has been no progress in attracting investors. However, after you came, this problem was immediately resolved. Can you tell us how you brought in those investors? How much effort did you put in during this process?”

Lin Yi scratched his head, recalling the entire process of investing.

“I didn’t work hard. I just did it step by step. I made a few calls and did some field research with the relevant people. Then, I succeeded in bringing in the investors.”

“Director Lin, I know you’re a contributor to Dongsan County’s investment, but I hope you can face this interview seriously and respect our status. Answer our questions well and cooperate with our work.”

“Huh? Am I not cooperating? I’m answering everything you ask. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“In the past few years, Dongsan County has been actively trying to attract investors, but there has been no improvement. I’m sure you know the exact reason. Now, you’ve succeeded in this matter, I don’t believe it would be so easy.” Sun Yiying said,

“I don’t think you need to put on these airs to highlight your ability. I’ve been working for more than three years and have interviewed countless people. Every one of them has a higher status than you, but their att.i.tudes are much more humble than yours.”

“What’s the meaning of this? Are you saying that I’m f*cking bragging?”

Both of them were stunned. They didn’t expect Lin Yi to say such vulgar words.

Sun Yiying secretly despised these people’s character. She really couldn’t accept it!

“I didn’t say that. I just hope that you can cooperate with our work and complete this interview as best as possible.”

Lin Yi shrugged. “But the process of attracting investment is really like this. It’s genuinely not difficult.”

“Sister Sun, since Director Lin has already said so, let’s continue with the questions.”

Although Hou Jingtao also had complaints in his heart, he still restrained himself.

Sun Yiying glared at Lin Yi, but for the sake of her job, she continued to ask,

“Then do you have any plans for Dongsan County’s poverty alleviation in the future? Or rather, what height you want to reach?”

“I won’t work here anymore. As for what the future will be like, I can’t answer you,” Lin Yi said.

“I can’t do this anymore!”

Sun Yiying was already filled with anger, but after hearing Lin Yi’s answer, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

What was he talking about?

As the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation, he said that he wouldn’t care about the future?

Was this something an official should say?

“The interview is over so soon?”

“These few questions are enough. I don’t think there’s a need to continue,” Sun Yiying said coldly.

“Then I won’t see you out. Close the door when you leave.”

Lin Yi returned to his desk and prepared to continue playing games.

Seeing how calm Lin Yi was, Sun Yiying’s expression turned even uglier.

He actually went back to his games!

The more Sun Yiying thought about it, the angrier she got. Why did she meet such a person?

How did he become the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation?!

Just as the two of them were packing up, Li Qingkai and Li Shijin walked in from outside.

When he saw Sun Yiying and Hou Jingtao, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that they were probably media reporters who had come to interview Lin Yi.

“You must be reporters from the Central Daily News.”

“Yes,” Hou Jingtao replied.

“Is the interview over so soon? There’s a medical trip to the countryside in the county. Director Lin found many doctors from Zhonghai and provided some a.s.sistance to the county hospital. Could you also interview him about this?”

“No!” Sun Yiying said firmly..
