Episode 20: Lin Xi supervises the implementation of the Golden Yuan Coupon Law

Shangfeng knew that Xing Lixian and Lin Xi were fighting against rats, so Shangfeng thought of a good way for Xing Lixian, which was to implement the gold yuan coupon currency law. Wenhua conveyed the new task to Lin Xi. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Nanjing will formally inform the Jinzhou Municipal Government to implement the gold yuan coupon issuance law.

Lin Xi changed from a special commissioner to a supervisor on the spot, responsible for liquidating the properties of all military and political officials in Jinzhou, and supervising the conversion of all their gold, US banknotes, and foreign exchange into gold coins. Xing Lixian meant to let Lin Xi execute the order.

Wenhua also reminded Lin Xi that supervising the currency reform would definitely anger the Jinzhou Gang, so Lin Xi had to help these people get rid of Jiang Wei before they broke up. Soon, Lin Xi went to see Jiang Wei with a basket of steamed buns and asked about the food in the warehouse.

Jiang Wei promised not to deduct grain anymore, but he wanted 50% of the profit share after the grain was sold. Lin Xi couldn’t make the decision on this matter, so the negotiations were put on hold for the time being. Li Yunfei saw the newspaper and talked to Li Ruhe on the phone again, so he planned to take the lead tonight, invite Lin Xi to have a meal with everyone, and ask what the golden yuan coupon issuance method was all about.

As soon as Lin Xi arrived at the office, he was pulled into the toilet by Li Yunfei to talk. Zhou Yingqun appeared. Upon seeing this, Li Yunfei said he would talk again in the evening. Lin Xi had a showdown with Zhou Yingqun and asked him how long he wanted to follow him. Taking advantage of his relationship with Su Nan, Lin Xi drove her to pick her up from get off work openly and talked about business. However, Lin Xi was more worried about Zhou Yingqun than the Jinzhou gang.

Li Yunfei persuaded Zhou Yingqun to leave Jinzhou. In Jinzhou, a land of mixed fish and dragons, there were old and cunning people everywhere, and Zhou Yingqun could not scheme against others at all. Zhou Yingqun had a strange yin and yang attitude. He felt that it wasn’t that he couldn’t outsmart those people, but that he couldn’t outsmart Li Yunfei and Lin Xi. Lin Xi briefly talked to Xing Lixian on the phone and assured him that he would act appropriately as a supervisor.

Then there was a phone call between Wenhua and Xing Lixian. Her mission was still to keep an eye on Lin Xi and make sure that Lin Xi got his dividends and account books back before he fell out with the Jinzhou Gang. Wenhua urged Lin Xi to come up with a plan to get the account book back. Lin Xi said that there was a dinner with Li Ruhe and the others in the evening, and he asked Wenhua to pack up and go to the dinner with him at the Jinzhou Officers Club.

He Xiaoyuan was originally dressed beautifully, but she had to cry for poverty tonight. After Li Yunfei persuaded him, He Xiaoyuan agreed to change into plain clothes. In the evening, there was singing and dancing at the Jinzhou Officers’ Club. Because he couldn’t figure out Lin Xi’s approach, Li Ruhe called Su Nan over as his trump card. Li Yunfei and Lin Xi came to the club one after another.

Before they started playing cards, Lin Xi asked them whether the final settlement would be in gold yuan coupons or US dollars. Everyone was silent now, and Lin Xi said that he would play first, and the winner would decide the final settlement method. Su Nan, He Xiaoyuan and Wenhua here are also playing mahjong, and the settlement method is US dollars. He Xiaoyuan graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Physics. He was very good at playing cards and won several games in succession.

An Chengren arrived late, and he still called Lin Xi a special commissioner. Li Ruhe reminded him to change his words, and Li Yunfei took advantage of the situation to reintroduce Lin Xi’s identity as supervisor. Regarding the next plan, Lin Xi was vague and shrouded in fog, but An Chengren and others took the initiative to think on the bright side. Since Lin Xi is the supervisor in charge of asset review, he wants to tell the officials how much property they have, and that’s what will be reported.
