Chapter 070: Power and Money in Hand
Eating and gift-giving are absolutely the most profound knowledge within the system.
Carrying a knife head and unable to find the temple door, even if you want to give gifts to ask for favors, you still can't find a way.
Of course, this kind of debt of gratitude, Lin Hao can also repay with human kindness, depending on Director Zhou's intentions.
That is to say, now the roles of host and guest have switched, Lin Hao can only look at Director Zhou's attitude before deciding.
However, he also must prepare for both situations, meaning that the red envelope still needs to be prepared.
Such a quota within the system has a fixed price, roughly around fifty thousand.
Lin Hao intends to give Director Zhou a sixty thousand red envelope, and if he doesn't want it, he will surely make some demands.
As for what those demands are, Lin Hao will have to make a decision at that time.
Since the matter was handled, Lin Hao sent a WeChat message to Huang Wanling, informing her of the good news.
The beauty received the message and immediately called.
"Brother-in-law, did you really get it done?"
"Of course, it's true!"
"Brother-in-law, thank you!"
"What are you talking about? Brother-in-law promised you, naturally I'll get it done."
"Brother-in-law, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Tonight won't work, I have plans."
"Tomorrow is Saturday, let's have dinner tomorrow night then."
"I can only promise you for now; if something comes up, I might not make it."
"Alright, I'll contact you tomorrow then."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao took his laptop to Li Jingyi's office.
Today, Secretary Li wore a tight denim skirt paired with a black T-shirt on top, looking simple and capable. However, her full and upright chest pushed the T-shirt high, giving an impression as if it's about to burst.
I have to say, the beauty secretary's figure is very proportionate and perfect, with an S-shaped curve that made Lin Hao eager, wishing he could get his hands on it.
"Lin Hao, you came just in time, Chairman Ma of the Red Era Group sent an invitation inviting us to visit their factory. To expedite the project's landing, I've decided to visit their headquarters next Monday. You should coordinate with Vice President Liao..."
Li Jingyi carefully instructed, after all, this new energy battery project was brought in by her, and to secure her position as Wucheng County Committee secretary, she naturally was very attentive.
However, such a good project is being watched by many leaders of various districts in Wuning City. Li Jingyi now couldn't wait to push the speed faster to get this thing settled quickly.
This kind of business cooperation must be built on mutual understanding, and by inviting the county committee leaders for an inspection, Red Era Group is facilitating this mutual understanding.
Of course, it's also Red Era Group attempting to demonstrate the company's strength and give Wucheng County leaders a reassuring pill.
"Secretary Li, do you know which county committee and county government leaders will accompany us for this inspection?" Lin Hao asked.
"I just contacted several leaders, they are all committed, so for this visit, Director Cheng from the Investment Promotion Bureau will accompany us." Li Jingyi replied.
"Should we prepare a framework agreement? By holding a signing ceremony, it will appear more formal and grand." Lin Hao asked again.
"Yes, you're right, we can definitely first sign a framework cooperation agreement with Red Era Group, and I'll leave this matter to you to prepare." Li Jingyi nodded slightly, looking pleasantly surprised. First seen on MV4LEMP|YR.
There's an old saying, it's not the thief stealing but the thief coveting that's worrying.
Once the framework cooperation agreement is signed, other district leaders wouldn't be constantly eyeing this project, and Li Jingyi can rest easy.
"Alright! No problem." Lin Hao replied.
"This investment attraction project is my first major task in Wucheng County, it must be successful, failure is not an option!" Li Jingyi instructed sternly.
"Rest assured, Secretary, I'll ensure everything is handled properly." Lin Hao loudly assured.
"The journey to Chenghai City this time will take about two hours; we better depart at seven o'clock and arrive by nine, allowing ample time for inspections..." Li Jingyi supplemented.
"Understood, we'll set off at seven on Monday morning." Lin Hao nodded slightly and replied loudly.
"Is Secretary Zhang's aftermath handled well?" Li Jingyi asked casually.
Lin Hao was slightly stunned, nodded, and replied: "Actually, there's nothing much to handle; after all, once a person is gone, they've cooled off, I've buried him in the public cemetery."
"Although Secretary Zhang lost integrity in the end, the traces of human intervention in this matter are too obvious, sacrificing in political struggle, we must always be vigilant, being extra careful at all times!" Li Jingyi sighed deeply yet reminded Lin Hao.
After all, the private poker-playing between two people is taboo within the party; if something were to happen, they'd both be damned.
"Rest assured, Secretary, I understand the severity of it." Lin Hao nodded solemnly.
"The forest fire in Baoshan Village, the police have confirmed it was deliberately set, a suspect is already in pursuit, indicating someone truly wanted to disrupt the new energy project negotiations on that day. You held up well under pressure, but for such matters, report immediately next time; if something major happens, you can't bear the responsibility." Li Jingyi reminded him not to act on his own in the future.
"Secretary Li, on that day, whether it was road-blocking for wage payment or a sudden forest fire, the traces of human intervention were too evident. Otherwise, I wouldn't have turned Wu Guohua away, next time something big happens, I'll report immediately." Lin Hao explained.
"Wu Guohua has been in the secretary position for too long, he has become someone else's tool, even if he's unrelated to the arson, he can't stay." Li Jingyi's voice was icy as frost, her face turned solemn.
To put it bluntly, if a county committee secretary wanted to oust a town party secretary, it would be an instantaneous task.
It's the first time Lin Hao saw this ruthless side of Li Jingyi, his heart jumped, only wishing Wu Guohua to fend for himself!
However, Wu Guohua, truly, the new energy battery project is a matter affecting Wucheng County's economic development for the next five years. Even if it's not for anything else, he should consider Wucheng County, why come to sabotage?
A pawn is always just a pawn, in the end, it will only become a discarded piece!
Back in the office, Lin Hao opened the stock trading software and found the stocks he bought, just like his previous life, sealed at the limit up position after opening.
Although Lin Hao's investment in the stock market is only fifty thousand, as long as he relies on the memories from his previous life, he can recklessly make money from the stock market.
With power and money, the world is mine!
Once he has money, every problem becomes no problem, because indeed, there are plenty of places needing money, just take tonight's dinner, a sixty thousand big red envelope!
