Chapter 467: People with a Bitter Fate
Lin Hao, as he wished, made his sister-in-law submit to his official authority and his oppressive dominance, fully satisfying his desire for conquest.
Of course, the thrill of forcibly having the sister-in-law was the most satisfactory part for him, and the fact that he had finally opened up her deepest petals gave him a further sense of achievement.
Lin Hao slowly crawled up, and the white liquid flowed from his sister-in-law's Fairy Cave, frightening her into quickly pulling out tissues to pad it, to prevent it from flowing everywhere.
After the two cleaned themselves up, Lin Hao held his sister-in-law, using threats and inducements, finally making the beautiful sister-in-law completely surrender.
Li Xue, although feeling aggrieved, swallowed this bitter pill for the sake of her job and her reputation.
...
When Lin Hao returned to the Su Family, he found everyone was there.
Xia Jingjing had already been working with Yu Peishan for a few days, and was telling her mother about work.
Su Dingfang was chatting over tea with his daughters, Su Muchen and Su Muyun, seemingly discussing something.
"Brother-in-law, you're back?" Xia Jingjing greeted first.
Lin Hao glanced at the charming Peng Yunyan and laughed loudly, "Jingjing, how's work going?"
Peng Yunyan naturally noticed his gaze, her heart aflame, but quickly averted her eyes to avoid being noticed by Su Dingfang.
However, tonight, Peng Yunyan seemed even more alluring, wearing a cheongsam that highlighted her perfect figure, with the slit revealing her pale white thighs.
"Brother-in-law, I'm now working with President Yu. She's taught me a lot, and I find corporate work very interesting and fulfilling…" Xia Jingjing replied loudly.
"Hahaha... Jingjing, you're so smart, as long as you're willing to learn, you're sure to learn a lot. Work hard with President Yu." Lin Hao laughed happily.
Su Dingfang saw Lin Hao approaching and smiled, "Lin Hao, come sit, Muchen, make a cup of tea for Lin Hao."
"Alright." Su Muchen readily agreed.
Lin Hao glanced at his father-in-law and had to sit down, smiling as he asked, "Dad, what's up?"
"It's nothing major, Muchen's announcement period is almost over. At this point, there don't seem to be any big issues, and Luo Zhijun hasn't made any moves, so it seems he's afraid now…" Su Dingfang began to analyze.
"If Luo Zhijun isn't stirring up trouble, that's a good thing!" Lin Hao said with a smile.
"Of course it's good, but there are still two days left in the announcement period, so I'm a bit worried. Plus, I wanted to ask, after this announcement period ends, which section do you plan to let Muchen oversee?"
"Which section?" Lin Hao glanced meaningfully at Su Muchen, who was serving tea, and asked with a smile, "Elder sister, which section do you want to oversee?"
"You're the executive, so naturally, it's up to you." Su Muchen casually replied.
Lin Hao glanced at Su Dingfang again and asked with a smile, "Dad, what section do you think Muchen should be responsible for?"
"The Education Bureau's Director Zhou would naturally oversee the education and culture section. Muchen is in charge of economic affairs, so logically, she should oversee the economic section. However, since you're mainly handling the economy, why not let her oversee the healthcare section?" Su Dingfang suggested.
"As long as elder sister has no objections, I certainly have none either." Lin Hao readily agreed.
"What about my issue?" Su Muyun interjected.
Lin Hao knew she wanted the director's position and smiled as he said, "Once Director Zhou gets promoted, we'll let you act as the interim director first. Once you're familiar with the duties, it wouldn't be too late to make it official, to avoid opposition from the old folks."
"Alright then." Su Muyun concluded, feeling there was no other choice.
"Lin Hao, I heard you solved the fiscal issue. Today, every department in the county was summarizing last year's assessment rewards, and everyone says you're the great benefactor of our Wucheng County!" Su Dingfang said with a smile.
"Sigh… What great benefactor? I'm just a poor unfortunate soul!" Lin Hao sighed deeply, feigning misery.
Su Muyun rolled her eyes at him and teased with a smile, "You, County Magistrate Lin, are the hot shot now. What's unfortunate about you? We're the unfortunate wage earners!"
"Honestly, being a director surely involves a lot. If you find it tough, I can get you a different position." Lin Hao looked at his ex-wife with a smile.
"It's not tough! Not tough at all! How can we say it's tough in front of County Magistrate Lin?" Su Muyun forced a smile, although feeling unhappy.
"Hahaha…" Lin Hao laughed heartily at his ex-wife's discomfort.
"You're laughing! No laughing! No laughing…" Su Muyun pouted jokingly.
"Alright, you couple's bickering should go back to the room, not here, alright?" Su Muchen gave them both an eye roll.
At that moment, Lin Hao's phone ringing attracted everyone's attention.
It wasn't ideal to answer calls with so many people around, so Lin Hao stepped out of the tea room, onto the balcony downstairs, and answered the call.
"County Magistrate Lin, I'm Lu Xiaodan's father, Lu Yahu."
It turned out to be a call from Lu Xiaodan's father.
This Lu Yahu had his daughter ask Lin Hao to help sell glass products from his glass factory. Lin Hao had agreed to help and even had Lu Xiaodan put brochures in the trunk of his car.
Whenever he had the chance, he would certainly help promote these products for him. Besides, asking the executive deputy magistrate to act as a salesman was indeed a bit unreasonable.
However, out of consideration for Lu Xiaodan, Lin Hao had promised to assist, yet Lu Yahu called again.
"Ah, it's Director Lu. What's up?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.
"I heard from Xiaodan that County Magistrate Lin is willing to help. I'm really grateful, and I'd like to invite you for a meal. When might you be available?" Lu Yahu employed his old salesperson tactics.
These were, after all, the three-step rules of asking for favors: invite for a meal, give gifts, and ensure the guest is pleased to seal the deal.
Sadly, Lin Hao was not someone who could be swayed with just a meal, and he certainly wouldn't take time for a meal if you're not the requisite person.
"Director Lu, no need for that. I'll think of a way to help you with the matter. As for the meal, let's skip it. I'm really too busy, with a full day of hosting tomorrow. I really can't spare the time, but thank you for the offer." Lin Hao politely declined.
"How about this, I have some local specialties here. I'll have Xiaodan bring them to you tomorrow so you can try them." Lu Yahu retreated to a fallback offer.
"Really no need, given my position, I shouldn't accept items from others. I hope Director Lu understands. I'll find time to invite your family for a meal when I'm free." Lin Hao explained with a smile.
Having said this much, Lu Yahu didn't press further, while on the other end, Lu Xiaodan's face turned beet red with shame, finding it hard to be at ease.
She had insisted her father refrain from inviting for meals or giving gifts, yet he insisted on calling Lin Hao for a meal, causing embarrassment.
The main issue was that she found herself in an awkward middle position.
