Lin Hao is now a rising star in Wucheng County, dazzling and at the peak of his glory.
Several standing committee members did not want to cross him, so they remained silent.
As the Minister of Organization, Minister He naturally pays special attention to the selection of officials, and in fact, he has his own candidate in mind.
However, he just went along with what Lin Hao said, and that's when he mentioned Su Muchen.
Originally, by bringing up Su Muchen's relationship with Lin Hao, he would have surely excluded Su Muchen, not expecting that Lin Hao and Su Muyun had already divorced.
Since they were divorced, there was no relationship anymore, so he had to say that he would need to evaluate further.
As for the Director of the Education Bureau mentioned later, indeed, they are qualified to take over the education and healthcare work, and they are also experienced.
After the meeting, Lin Hao followed Li Jingyi to the office.
"Didn't you say you wanted to keep it a secret? How come you announced it in front of everyone?" Li Jingyi asked with a smile.
"Announce what? The divorce? Sigh..."
Lin Hao sighed and replied, "It has to be announced sooner or later, so I took this opportunity to say it today to avoid the organization saying I'm hiding the divorce."
"You know, the organization places a lot of importance on marriage and family. Although you've been promoted this time, what about the next promotion?" Li Jingyi said with a smile.
"While marriage and family are important, having a family can be a distraction, and how can one focus on work then? Now that I'm divorced, I can fully devote myself to work," Lin Hao argued.
"I can't argue with you. Your performance at the meeting today was commendable, especially with the difficult questions they asked. Fortunately, you were prepared. Now that the list has been approved, the rest of the affairs are up to you." Li Jingyi handed the list to him.
Lin Hao took a look at it, and on it was Secretary Li's handwritten note, prominently stating "County Magistrate Lin is fully responsible" in large red letters.
In short, this was Li Jingyi handing him the imperial sword, with the sole purpose of selling legally and legitimately as soon as possible to resolve the county's financial crisis.
Lin Hao left with the list immediately, instructing the National Development and Reform Commission to follow up, ensuring that they follow procedures to avoid mishaps, so he wouldn't have to explain later.
After Xiaolu entered with a notebook, Lin Hao noticed that the young beauty was dressed up today like a budding flower.
In a white pencil skirt and a short cardigan on top, her waist was nicely shaped, narrow enough to hold with one hand, accentuating her snowy peaks in front, standing tall, swaying lightly as she walked.
With just one glance, Lin Hao felt parched, thinking that this young lady must be doing it intentionally.
"Xiaolu, I need to entertain Red Era Group's Chairman Ma this afternoon, arrange a car, and come with me," Lin Hao instructed.
"Okay, when should we set off?" Lu Xiaodan asked.
"We'll leave for Binjiang Industrial Park promptly at 1:30, Chairman Ma is expected to arrive around 2," Lin Hao replied.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements," Lu Xiaodan went out.
Lin Hao immediately called Liao Jiarong.
"President Liao, this is Lin Hao."
"Congratulations on your promotion, County Magistrate Lin!" Liao Jiarong teased.
"President Liao, don't tease me. How's the plan for this afternoon? The leadership asked me to follow your lead." Lin Hao said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Lin, I think it should be the other way around," Liao Jiarong replied with a charming smile.
"How about we have lunch together at noon and discuss the afternoon's welcoming arrangements?" Lin Hao suggested.
"Sure, let's go to Juyuan Mei Private Kitchen. I think the environment and the taste there are both excellent," Liao Jiarong agreed readily.
"12:30 sharp, see you there!" Lin Hao confirmed the time.
"Okay," the beauty responded.
After hanging up, Lin Hao called the branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Wu County Branch, asking him to help Yu Peishan with a loan.
With County Magistrate Lin's word, the branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank readily agreed, asking Yu Peishan to contact him.
Lin Hao then called Yu Peishan, instructing her to go for the loan herself, thus halfway resolving the matter on this end.
As for Luo Yimei and Huang Wanling, the two ladies were both looking for houses these days, seemingly undecided.
However, Li Jia's wedding seemed to be in full swing, and she even sent an invitation to Lin Hao.
This young lady was about to become someone else's wife, and who knows if there'd be another chance to hook up with Li Jia in the future.
At noon, when it was time for lunch, Lin Hao left the county government and took a taxi to Juyuan Mei Private Kitchen.
Before leaving, Lin Hao instructed the beauty to pick him up promptly at 1:30 before heading out.
...
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Hao arrived at a small private room in Juyuan Mei Private Kitchen.
These small private rooms are upstairs, with an elegant environment and excellent privacy.
Liao Jiarong was wearing a light blue low-cut skirt, just below the knee, with a slender waist, narrow enough to hold with one hand, her softness in front alluringly prominent.
This mature temptress had been busy these days and hadn't summoned Lin Hao for company, indeed feeling a bit lonely.
Actually, now that she lives alone in that villa, Lin Hao could go over anytime, but he worried it might affect her reputation.
Of course, the main reason is that these days she was busy with factory matters, truly not having the time to engage with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao, on the other hand, was in a standard black suit with a striped tie, handsome and striking, mesmerizing the beauty before him.
"President Liao, nice to meet you!" Lin Hao greeted formally.
"County Magistrate Lin, you are a busy man now, not even visiting for tea," Liao Jiarong said like a complaining wife.
"I know you've been busy, so I didn't come to bother you. How's everything at the factory?" Lin Hao got to the business at hand.
"No issues, our equipment is entering the factory, but the Chairman is a bit concerned, so he intends to come and take a look himself," Liao Jiarong replied with a smile.
"That's good to hear, let's talk while we eat," Lin Hao sat down.
Soon, the service brought out a table full of delicious dishes, and because they still had welcoming duties in the afternoon, neither drank any alcohol.
The meal wasn't long, after twenty minutes, both were well-fed.
"What's the plan for the afternoon?" Lin Hao inquired about the key matters.
"In the afternoon, the Chairman will personally inspect the workshop, then meet with the workshop workers, listen to their opinions, and have a friendly interaction, making these new hires feel more at home..."
"After inspecting the workshop, we'll have a small meeting in the industrial park to summarize the past work, where I will report on the work, and then the Chairman will assign the next phase tasks..."
"As the Executive Vice Magistrate of Wucheng County, you will certainly need to speak on behalf of the government, and as for what to say, that's up to you."
Liao Jiarong explained in detail, clearly having planned everything well in advance.
Lin Hao naturally understood his role and knew he had to speak on such occasions, so he quickly formulated three key points in his mind, a last-minute attempt to prepare.
