Chapter 470: Introduce One
At noon yesterday, Lin Hao had Lu Xiaodan send notifications to various departments, and within just one afternoon, all departments reported the various overdue bonuses from last year.
Li Jingyi saw that such a large sum of money needed to be paid out and felt overwhelmed, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and settle these old debts.
Fortunately, Lin Hao managed to bring back quite a bit of money, otherwise, as the lone commander, she would be like a clever housewife unable to cook without rice.
After Lin Hao left, Lu Xiaodan followed him back to the office.
Today, the young lady was wearing a refreshing pleated skirt, her slender waist so narrow that one feared it couldn't bear the weight of the two durians dangling on her chest.
Her delicate cheeks had just a touch of makeup, offering a sense of grace, elegance, and captivating charm, making her appear lively and adorable.
"County Magistrate Lin, last night my dad insisted on calling you, I couldn't stop him…" The young lady seemed a bit embarrassed.
"No worries, your dad called to invite me for dinner. Please thank him, but I'm really too busy. How about this: I'll invite him for dinner on the weekend." Lin Hao said with a smile.
"You invite him for dinner? You're the county magistrate; it's not customary for you to host. Why don't I host instead? I've just received my salary." Lu Xiaodan quickly said.
"Is your salary enough to treat us to a meal? You better save it as your dowry." Lin Hao joked with a laugh.
"I don't want to get married. Besides, I just broke up, I don't even have a boyfriend, how could I get married? Does County Magistrate Lin plan to introduce someone to me?" Lu Xiaodan winked, clearly teasing him.
Lin Hao's smile momentarily froze, and he said reluctantly, "What kind of boyfriend are you looking for?"
"I think finding a man as outstanding as County Magistrate Lin would be good enough." Lu Xiaodan smiled shyly.
"Hahaha…" Lin Hao laughed heartily.
Seeing that he understood her meaning, Lu Xiaodan couldn't help but blush and pout, asking, "County Magistrate Lin, why are you laughing? I'm serious."
"Hehehe… I know you're serious, but finding a man like me, who remains calm and composed, is quite difficult." Lin Hao thought back to the night he slept holding her, laughing heartily.
"County Magistrate Lin, haven't you considered getting married again?" Lu Xiaodan leaned closer and asked softly.
Looking at her beautiful blushing face, Lin Hao felt a suffocating sensation and almost wanted to kiss her, but he had to suppress his romantic thoughts.
"Right now, I just want to work hard. I don't plan on getting married."
Lin Hao tried to calm himself, steering the conversation back on track, and asked seriously, "When does Chairman Kang of Kanghui Technology Group plan to arrive? When can the meeting start?"
"Chairman Kang said he could be at the agricultural bureau by 9:30, and the meeting is set to start at 10." Lu Xiaodan responded.
Lin Hao glanced at the time and got up, saying, "Let's head over early and also check the venue setup."
"Alright, I'll arrange the car." Lu Xiaodan rushed out.
A few minutes later, a government official car drove away, with Lin Hao and Lu Xiaodan inside.
The agricultural bureau was bustling today, with leaders from various departments arriving early.
Since the bamboo fiber project by Kanghui Technology Group is a broad-reaching project, Lin Hao asked the department leaders to have a meeting to solve some of the difficulties and problems the enterprise is facing.
This way is the fastest and most effective, and it makes the enterprise feel valued, accelerating the project's implementation.
Just as Lin Hao's car entered the agricultural bureau courtyard, Director Chen Jiawei had already been waiting at the door, ready to welcome him.
"County Magistrate Lin, welcome, welcome!" Chen Jiawei hurriedly approached.
"Director Chen, why did you come personally?" Lin Hao happily shook hands with him in greeting.
Back when Lin Hao was still the County Party Committee Office Director, he asked Director Chen of the agricultural bureau to help Liu Tingting's brother, Liu Ming, secure a position as a section chief.
Though Director Chen hadn't troubled him since then, this favor would eventually be returned.
"County Magistrate Lin, you're such a busy person, and it's rare for you to come by; how could I not come?" Chen Jiawei said with a smile.
"Alright, we're all familiar with each other, no need for such formalities. How has the venue been set up?" Lin Hao asked about the important matter.
"County Magistrate Lin, the venue was set up personally by me, and several other directors are also here. Would you like to check the venue?" Chen Jiawei asked.
"No need for that, I trust your work." Lin Hao smiled.
Lu Xiaodan leaned over and reported quietly, "County Magistrate Lin, Chairman Kang will arrive in two minutes."
"Since Chairman Kang is arriving in two minutes, I'll wait here for him." Lin Hao felt he should give Chairman Kang enough respect and decided to stand there to welcome him personally.
Of course, this also demonstrated the government's attitude of valuing Kanghui Technology Group and this collaboration.
Sure enough, when Chairman Kang got out of the car and saw Lin Hao welcoming him personally, he immediately felt flattered and surprised.
"Chairman Kang, welcome, welcome!" Lin Hao stepped forward and extended his hand.
Chairman Kang grasped his hand tightly, feeling immensely touched, apologizing, "Sorry to keep County Magistrate Lin waiting, it's truly my fault."
"Hahaha… Chairman Kang, you're too kind. Please, come inside!" Lin Hao gestured invitingly.
"County Magistrate Lin, please!" Chairman Kang replied politely.
The two of them headed upstairs together toward the conference room.
In the round conference room, the directors from various Wucheng County departments were already seated, with Lin Hao and Chairman Kang naturally sitting in the center.
In front of the department leaders were signs labeled Investment Promotion Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Natural Resources Bureau, Commerce Bureau...
Chairman Kang glanced at the signs on the table, seeing so many departments present, he once again felt valued and was deeply moved.
Just this level of reception and sincerity made him determined to expedite the project's implementation.
As the Director of the agricultural bureau and the host of this meeting, Chen Jiawei was in charge.
However, as a shrewd director, after a brief introduction, he immediately handed the speaking role to Lin Hao.
As the Executive Deputy County Magistrate in charge of economic matters, Lin Hao currently handled all county government affairs, so he took the microphone without hesitation.
"Respected Chairman Kang, esteemed department leaders, today we're gathered here to advance the implementation of the bamboo fiber project. First, I'd like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the county party committee, county government, and all the people of Wucheng to Chairman Kang and his team..." As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, applause erupted.
Clap, clap, clap...
Thunderous applause filled the room.
Chairman Kang and his team, seeing such a vibrant leadership group and so many leaders welcoming them, felt an indescribable sense of goodwill.
