The Invincible Son-in-law

As a director of the municipal bureau, his position is indeed slightly higher than Lin Hao's, but his arrogant demeanor and the fact that he is showing no respect to Lin Hao in front of so many people is a bit excessive.

There's a saying that goes well: Let it go when you can.

Lin Hao just took office, and he's definitely dealing with the problems left behind, plus the county's significant fiscal deficits, which is not just a matter of a few bucks, certainly requires time to resolve.

Of course, Wucheng County is vigorously promoting the sale of state-owned construction land, and it is believed that this will soon resolve the county's financial problems, but that can't be accomplished in just a few days.

Director Wang showed no respect and flaunted his power in front of so many people, which suddenly made Lin Hao's face change to looking a bit unpleasant.

Nevertheless, he still held back his anger and tried to force out a smile.

"Director Wang, calm down. Indeed, there are many issues with our financial problems."

Lin Hao tried to keep his attitude calm, patiently explaining: "You also know, previously it was Secretary Zhang Jianming and the former Financial Bureau director who were arrested for embezzlement and bribery, and later County Magistrate Zhou Banghuai was also taken away by the city's disciplinary committee. All of this mess was left by them, and Secretary Li and the county committee, county government are also trying to resolve it…"

"County Magistrate Lin, I understand the situation you are speaking of, but it cannot be used as a reason for you to be free from blame. Financial work is the foundation of the nation and cannot tolerate any negligence..." Director Wang began to lecture again.

Seeing this director going too far, Su Muchen instantly wanted to stand up and challenge him, but was stopped by a look from Lin Hao.

After all, now the financial issues in Wucheng County are indeed quite problematic, especially the mess left by the former director, which has made Li Jingyi and Lin Hao rather helpless.

Thus, many areas are robbing Peter to pay Paul, piecing together to solve the immediate most urgent problems, some debts that can be delayed are delayed.

This kind of issue exists in many districts and counties and is an unavoidable situation in practical work.

How could Director Wang not know these things? Impossible, right? But why is he clinging onto Lin Hao and not letting go?

Lin Hao calmly faced the leader's criticism without offering much retort or words, adopting an attitude of admitting mistakes.

After Director Wang finished his criticisms and education, seeing that Lin Hao dared not make noise in front of him, his anger slightly subsided.

"County Magistrate Lin, Director Su, you need to put together a report reviewing your own shortcomings in your work. Our municipal bureau will also study your situation and give appropriate punishments…"

What? Punishment?

Lin Hao and Su Muchen, along with the fiscal comrades, were all stunned!

This is the mess left by the previous leaders, so why is the account being settled at their heads?

Moreover, Lin Hao wasn't the deputy county magistrate before, nor did he oversee this area, it has nearly nothing to do with him, why should he accept punishment?

However, Lin Hao has lived through two lifetimes; his mindset is very resolute, he grimly said: "Director Wang, there are certainly deficiencies in our work, we are open-minded to accept the criticism and guidance from the superior leaders."

"County Magistrate Lin, from your tone, seems you have opinions about our investigation!" Director Wang's face also darkened.

"No, Director Wang was overthinking, if Director Wang insists on continuing the investigation, then please continue. We have a meeting at the county committee, so won't accompany Director Wang further." Lin Hao said coldly.

"What? County Magistrate Lin is not accommodating anymore?" Director Wang's face got even darker.

"Hehehe…" Lin Hao chuckled: "The leader is joking, our Wucheng County is currently going through a troublesome time, the affairs are indeed numerous, the county committee, and county government is basically running continuously, and weekends are also fully occupied."

"County Magistrate Lin, do you think this account should continue to be investigated?" Director Wang asked coldly.

"What does Director Wang mean…" Lin Hao was somewhat confused.

"Notify all comrades from the Financial Bureau for a meeting, I want to raise severe criticisms on the issues you have and also need you to come up with rectification plans…" Director Wang said with a dark expression.

Severe criticism? Create rectification plans?

This is a show of force to Lin Hao!

Lin Hao's face turned ugly, yet he didn't act out, instead, he turned his head towards Su Muchen, and said: "Director Su, act on Director Wang's directive, notify everyone to come back for a meeting."

"Alright, County Magistrate Lin." Su Muchen turned and left.

Lin Hao still doesn't have a clear understanding of Director Wang's origins, thus he keeps conceding everywhere, not wanting to fall out with him over work issues.

In the system, unless absolutely necessary, remember not to have direct clashes with others.

Since Director Wang is consistently focusing on investigating the county's fiscal work, as Wucheng County's Executive Deputy County Magistrate, one can't mix personal emotions in, rather should cooperate with investigations and accept criticism.

However, Lin Hao's showing patience and restraint indeed made Su Muchen regard him differently.

"Director Wang, leaders, please proceed to the meeting room for tea!" Lin Hao gestured politely.

Director Wang waved at several lieutenants he brought along and said: "Forget it, no more investigating, let's go to the meeting room."

Soon, a group of people arrived at the Fiscal Bureau's meeting room.

Not knowing the depth of this director's experience, Lin Hao immediately messaged Ling Feng to investigate Director Wang's situation.

Ever since Zhou Banghuai and Shen Sihai were taken away by the city disciplinary committee, Lin Hao also worried someone would investigate Ling Feng and the others, hence he let them find a place to settle in the city.

After all, his power and status now are different, and mostly he is facing the leaders of Wuning City.

Although he has some evidence left in a USB stick by Zhang Jianming concerning some city leaders, there are too many leaders inside, wondering if Director Wang is among them?

Su Muchen chaired the meeting, firstly welcoming Director Wang's party to the Fiscal Bureau to guide work, and then invited Director Wang to speak.

Director Wang, being over fifty now and a veteran in the system, naturally has a speech full of bureaucratic clichés.

Afterward, Lin Hao gave a speech representing the county's Fiscal Bureau, humbly accepting the superior's criticisms and education, not wanting to fall out with Director Wang.

Just after finishing speaking, Director Wang took the microphone and said solemnly: "Since County Magistrate Lin made a review, at that time submit a written review report to the municipal bureau."

"Director Wang, does it still require a written report?" Su Muchen confirmed with a grim face.

"Of course it requires, moreover you need a profound reflection, listing the existing problems and mistakes one by one, along with proposing rectification measures and aspects to pay attention to in future work, areas needing improvement…" Director Wang immediately supplemented.

Su Muchen is now a vice-county magistrate nominee, precisely in a career rising phase, having to review her mistakes at this time isn't this cutting off her future?
