Chapter 005: Does It Suit Your Taste?
Political struggle is like this, either you die or I perish!
Lin Hao sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and puffed clouds and smoke, pondering for a full half hour before finally burning the letter and accepting the key.
At that moment, he found many WeChat messages. He opened them and was stunned.
"Brother, where have you been? I've got good news for you; you are now the Director of our County Party Committee Office."
"Director Lin, congratulations, congratulations! You're going to need to take care of your brothers now!"
"Director Lin, you must look after us female comrades!"
...
Without a doubt, it must be Li Jingyi who promoted him to County Party Committee Office Director.
When Lin Hao returned to the office, the dozen or so people immediately surrounded him.
"Congratulations on your promotion, Director Lin!" These fair-weather friends applauded one after another to celebrate.
"Are you telling me I'm the director now?" Lin Hao still found it hard to believe.
"Yes, the Organization Department just came to announce it. The official documents will be issued tomorrow." Wang Lei responded.
"What about Director Tian?" Lin Hao asked.
"Director Tian spread rumors and got transferred to Qingquan Town." Liu Tingting laughed happily.
"Welcome Director Lin to give a speech to everyone." Wang Lei took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit.
Looking at this group of seasoned pros, Lin Hao smiled and said, "I have nothing to say; everyone just do your jobs."
"Director Lin, shouldn't we celebrate you tonight?" Wang Lei suggested with a smile.
"No need to celebrate; I'll treat everyone to a meal another day." Lin Hao firmly refused. The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.
At this sensitive time, Lin Hao felt like he was walking on a knife's edge. How could he dare to celebrate?
"Director Lin, don't be so low-key. With Secretary Li covering you, what are you afraid of?" Liu Tingting teased with a smile.
"Xiaoliu, what nonsense are you talking about now?" Li Jia scolded sternly.
Liu Tingting gave an embarrassed smile, patted her mouth, and said, "You see this mouth of mine, if I keep babbling, I might have to go to the countryside."
"This matter hasn't been finalized yet. Please keep it low-key and secret. Alright, everyone disperse." Lin Hao advised.
Just then, Director Tian walked in with a bitter expression, looking lost. "Lin Hao, Secretary Li asked me to hand over the work to you. Come in."
Actually, this was his own doing. If he hadn't reported anything, nothing would have happened, but he insisted on trying to curry favor.
Logically speaking, even if he went to report, seeking no credit but hoping to avoid blame, he shouldn't have been transferred.
However, Li Jingyi was looking to make space for Lin Hao, and that was why she found an excuse to transfer him.
Still, going to the township as a head also carries the benefits of a full departmental level with absolute power, and it isn't necessarily worse than being the County Party Committee Office Director.
After Lin Hao completed the work handover with him, Liu Tingting unexpectedly came in with tea.
"Director Lin, this is coffee I made for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
This Liu Tingting, thirty years old, was a seductively charming woman. She was always dressed fashionably and used to be close to Director Tian. Now that he was transferred, she quickly came to curry favor with Lin Hao.
She gently placed the coffee on the table, her voluptuous body leaning slightly forward. Her white shirt could hardly contain the surging 36D curves, nearly bursting the buttons.
Though the buttons didn't pop, the bulging state gave a sense of something ready to come out.
Lin Hao observed the surging waves and took a deep breath, smiling, "Ms. Ting, the coffee you made is the best in our office!"
"As long as Director Lin likes it. If you want coffee in the future, just let sister know." Liu Tingting leaned closer with a charming smile.
The scent of the mature woman wafted over, refreshing and stimulating every nerve of Lin Hao, awakening certain feelings.
Facing this alluring and mature enchantress, Lin Hao felt itchy inside, yet he had to act as if nothing was amiss.
Fortunately, at that moment, Li Jingyi's call came through.
"Lin Hao, come to my office."
"Okay, Secretary Li."
Lin Hao hung up the phone, waved to Liu Tingting, and promptly headed to the secretary's office.
"Secretary Li…" Lin Hao bowed slightly in greeting.
"Are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Li Jingyi asked calmly.
"Thank you, Ms. Jingyi, for nurturing me!" Lin Hao expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"You should thank the organization for its trust and support! Understand?" Li Jingyi corrected him seriously.
"Understood, thank the organization for its trust! Thank the organization for its support!" Lin Hao quickly replied with a smile.
"Director Lin, you should be very clear: I promoted you, so from now on you are my person. Do not be ungrateful and act against us; understand the rules and know your place. If you don't listen, the consequences are yours to bear!" Li Jingyi suddenly darkened her expression, warning coldly.
"Rest assured, Secretary Li, I understand the rules." Lin Hao quickly replied, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He knew very well that Li Jingyi was warning him not to leak what happened last night, or he would meet a dire end.
"I want to start living in County Number Two Building from today, arrange it." Li Jingyi issued her first command.
"Secretary Li, which floor are you planning to stay on?" Lin Hao asked.
"The third floor, it should be quiet, preferably near the riverside!" Li Jingyi replied.
"Then let's go with room 306, offering views of the riverside scenery. I'll go check it out right away."
Lin Hao felt he should check for shortages of living supplies and possibly tidy the place up.
Building number two consists of three-room-one-hall or two-room-one-hall units for the high officials of the county committee and government, especially for the county party secretary. Typically, they are appointed from another region, making the housing issue a priority.
The management of County Number Two Building is usually under the jurisdiction of the County Party Committee Office Director. Number Two Building is specifically managed by Liu Tingting. The two soon arrived at Number Two Building.
The riverside suite, with its three-room-one-hall layout, was spacious and filled with all sorts of furniture and appliances.
Liu Tingting promptly brought over new bedding and toiletries from the warehouse.
"Director, I can't manage the bed alone, you need to help me." Liu Tingting called out loudly.
Lin Hao entered the bedroom and found Liu Tingting trying to make the bed, though she indeed struggled by herself.
"Director, you hold that side, straighten it… Yes… just like that…" Liu Tingting directed.
"You use more force; the length on my side is enough…" Lin Hao said, straightening the sheet.
Working together, they managed to make the bed in a few minutes.
Lin Hao sat down on it directly and pressed down firmly, as if testing the bed's elasticity.
At that moment, Liu Tingting unexpectedly laid down beside him.
Lin Hao turned his head to look, meeting the eyes of the alluring woman, startling him into a jolt, urging him to get up.
Unfortunately, Liu Tingting held him down, pressing one leg directly over him.
