The Invincible Son-in-law

The bustle of the world is all for profit!

People inside the system have deep schemes, and nothing upsets them more than seeing others doing well!

Lin Hao knew this all too well, which was why he insisted on having it discussed and passed at the Standing Committee meeting.

At ten o'clock sharp, Lin Hao convened a countywide leading cadres' meeting to "study" relevant documents from above.

Of course, this so-called document study was fake; the main purpose was to announce the upcoming bonuses and to boost everyone's morale.

As expected, once the news got out, the entire officialdom of Wucheng County was hit by a political earthquake.

Because this time, even the other townships were getting a certain amount of reward—it could be said that the rain and dew were touching everyone.

Naturally, the happiest were the leaders and staff of Fuhua Town and Zhenjiang Village. They'd been charging at the front line, and now they were finally getting a return.

Money can make the devil push the millstone!

Lin Hao believed that once these bonuses were handed out, the remaining land demolitions would no longer be a problem at all.

Everything has two sides!

Just as he had predicted, the other districts and counties were now green with envy, and would inevitably go whispering in front of the higher‑ups.

Luckily, the Municipal Party Committee and the City Government had already signed off on it, so for the time being there definitely wouldn't be any issues.

What made Lin Hao happiest right now was that the two leaders from the Municipal Party Committee and the City Government hadn't asked for any "benefits," and were very supportive of their new urban district construction project.

Li Jingyi had also told Lin Hao a piece of news: the two top leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the City Government would be coming to Wucheng County for an inspection and research visit in the near future.

If that really happened, it would mean the leaders above were personally coming down to inspect and evaluate the political achievements of Li Jingyi and himself.

The two of them had already been included on the Municipal Party Committee and City Government's list of cadres to be inspected for promotion; this was undoubtedly good news.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Li Jingyi's expression became a bit grave.

"What is it?" Lin Hao intuitively sensed it wasn't simple.

"Secretary Cao called and asked if, when the new energy vehicle project lands, we could build the industrial park somewhere between Wucheng County and Wuning City—preferably as close to Wuning City as possible." Li Jingyi's tone was very tactful.

"As close to Wuning City as possible?" Lin Hao felt a bit of a headache too.

Looking at the map, Wuning City is upstream on the Wuding River, and Wuning City is downstream.

From an environmental protection standpoint, Lin Hao would rather choose a site downstream in Wucheng County, which would place it farther away from Wuning City.

Of course, if it were built in the middle, there would be one benefit: Wucheng County and Wuning City could be more easily connected into a single stretch.

Ever since the new energy vehicle project was introduced, Lin Hao had been thinking about building a new industrial park.

Because the previous Binjiang Industrial Park already had too many enterprises settled in; it was basically full.

However, that last line from Secretary Cao—"as close to Wuning City as possible"—was probably not that simple!

He's telling you now to get as close to Wuning City as you can; when the time comes he'll have you register it under Wuning City—wouldn't that be snatching the entire project away?

Li Jingyi of course understood what Lin Hao meant and explained, "Secretary Cao really only said 'close to Wuning City.' On that point you can rest completely assured."

"Secretary Li, it's not that I'm unwilling to put it upstream, but we have to proceed from an environmental perspective, so we don't pollute the river. Of course, the opinions of higher‑level leaders are also very important. I need to personally conduct on‑site inspections, and only after I've obtained a detailed environmental assessment and argumentation can I make an accurate judgment."

Lin Hao didn't refuse, but it was also a kind of refusal.

His meaning was very clear: environmental standards had to be met, and Wuding River and Wucheng County's ecology couldn't be compromised.

"It definitely requires an environmental assessment. How about this: when Secretary Cao comes down, we'll discuss it in detail. You first do some field inspection and research."

Li Jingyi didn't negate what Lin Hao said; she let him start with the preparatory work.

"Alright, I'll go the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to the glass factory for an inspection—they've applied for an upgrade and renovation project, which will require about twenty million in funding."

Lin Hao took the opportunity to bring up the glass factory's upgrade and renovation project.

"Twenty million? That much?" Li Jingyi felt the pinch when it came to money.

"Wucheng County Glass Factory has contributed greatly to our county's fiscal revenue. Now that Wucheng County's new urban district construction is imminent, they also want to take the opportunity to upgrade and transform, and secure more orders. By then, won't we just earn the money back through tax revenue…"

Lin Hao began analyzing the pros and cons for Li Jingyi, making her see that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.

"Fine, you go inspect and research first. After you form a report, we'll put it through a meeting."

Li Jingyi agreed with his view—invest first, then recover it through taxes.

"As for that new industrial park, if it's to be built in the middle between Wucheng County and Wuning City, then it can only be upstream in…"

Lin Hao roughly laid out his concrete ideas.

Previously, he'd been quite keen on finding a place downstream, preferably one that could be linked in one stretch with Binjiang Industrial Park.

That way, in terms of transportation costs, it could also save companies a lot of money.

If it were built upstream now, it wouldn't be impossible either; after all, that would place it much closer to Wuning City.

That could in turn spur Wuning City's economic development. Take real estate, for example—people would also choose to buy houses in Wuning City.

If it were downstream, people would definitely only come to Wucheng County to buy houses.

Of course, Lin Hao could also site the park a bit closer to Wucheng County. That way, he could both meet Secretary Cao's request and continue driving Wucheng County's real estate sector.

Secretary Cao's little calculations, Lin Hao had seen through in one glance.

As for what the final decision would be, Lin Hao still needed to think it over, and he could also talk with Secretary Cao about specific conditions.

After a whole morning of meetings, Lin Hao was dead tired and took a noon nap in his office for more than an hour.

Until Chairman Ai Xuejun of Aiyadi Group called.

"County Magistrate Lin, this is Ai Xuejun."

"Chairman Ai, how are things on your end?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

"County Magistrate Lin, everything is fine on my side. The board has passed it unanimously; the new energy vehicle project will be located in your Wucheng County."

Ai Xuejun gave him a piece of good news.

In fact, Aiyadi Group had already held a board meeting last time, and they'd discussed and passed it back then as well.

It's just that this time they'd drawn up formal documents, and the board unanimously believed that Wucheng County had huge investment potential, so they made this decision.

"Today Director Chen will bring a team over to fully push this project forward. I hope County Magistrate Lin will take good care of them."

Ai Xuejun mentioned that beauty of a director, Chen Yi.

Lin Hao naturally understood what he meant and replied with a smile, "Please rest assured, Chairman Ai, I will definitely take good care of Director Chen."

"Hahaha…"

Ai Xuejun chuckled happily. "Alright, let's leave it at that. I have another meeting, so I'll hang up first."

"Alright, bye!" Lin Hao said, then hung up the phone.

Just thinking about that beautiful director personally showing up made Lin Hao feel a kind of indescribable blood‑pumping excitement.
