The Invincible Son-in-law

Originally, the Education Bureau applied for a sum of money to repair school buildings and purchase teaching equipment.

This matter was approved when Secretary Zhang was here, but with Secretary Zhang's downfall, the Finance Director was also implicated.

Therefore, the money was stuck in the Finance Bureau, and Director Zhou is now at a loss, which is why he wants to find Lin Hao to see if he can come up with a solution.

After all, Su Muchen is now the Deputy Director of Finance, and since the Director is absent, he holds the greatest power.

"Director Zhou, as for the financial authority, it has now been taken back by Secretary Li. The county needs Secretary Li's signature and approval to spend even a dime, which makes it quite difficult, but I will try to think of a way to help you, whether it succeeds or not is up to fate," Lin Hao did not refuse.

Firstly, he was not sure whether this money was indeed meant for repairing school buildings and purchasing teaching equipment, as Director Zhou claimed.

Secondly, how much money is involved? What exactly is the situation? He needed to understand thoroughly before taking action, rather than blindly agreeing to someone's request.

Lastly, why was Li Jingyi holding up this money? There must be a reason?

Whether Director Zhou was telling the truth was something Lin Hao still needed to investigate and confirm, lest he be used as a pawn by others.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother," Director Zhou smiled and thanked him.

"Brother, you're joking. If I can help, I certainly won't shy away. Besides, my wife is also part of the system, we're all on the same side," Lin Hao mentioned Su Muyun in passing.

"Yes, yes, we're all on the same side. In the future, I will surely look out for Vice Principal Su," Director Zhou laughed heartily.

The two got out of the car, smoking cigarettes as they walked upstairs, chatting and laughing along the way, as if they were old friends.

The dishes at the Ju Yuan Mei Private Kitchen were exquisite and distinctive.

Su Muyun warmly greeted Madam Zhou, and everyone at the table chatted about gossip and trivial matters, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

The meal was enjoyable for everyone, and Director Zhou's family left happily.

After Lin Hao and Su Muyun returned home, they found that Su Muchen and Luo Zhijun had already returned earlier and were chatting in the living room with Su Dingfang and Peng Yunyan after dinner.

"Dad, Aunt Yun..." Su Muyun greeted proactively.

Su Dingfang nodded slightly and glanced at his daughter's red face, asking, "What's the matter? Have you been drinking?"

"Lin Hao invited Director Zhou from the Education Bureau to have a meal together," Su Muyun responded casually.

Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he asked, "I heard that the head of the admissions office at the Education Bureau is retiring. Are you planning to transfer there, Lin Hao?"

"I don't know about that," Su Muyun looked at Lin Hao, slightly surprised.

Lin Hao couldn't possibly mention that it was about Huang Wanling's matter, so he quickly said, "Dad, nothing escapes your watchful eyes."

"Hehehe..." Su Dingfang was smug, laughing heartily, "Mu Yun has to teach classes at Yi Zhong while also handling administrative work; it's indeed exhausting. Transferring to the admissions office would be a good idea."

"Dad, is being a principal better or is the admissions office better?" Su Muyun asked.

"The principal indeed has the final say with absolute authority, but the head of the admissions office is a lucrative position. Every principal will try to ingratiate themselves because every principal's children will attend school, even if not their own, their family members will. The admissions office is in charge of admission work," Su Dingfang smiled and explained.

After hearing his explanation, Su Muchen smiled and said, "So it turns out being the head of the admissions office is much better than being a principal."

"Well, you can't exactly say that, as the principal is still the top authority, but the head of the admissions office has wider connections and is sought after by more people," Su Dingfang added.

"Lin Hao, then I'll go to the admissions office as the director. You figure out how to make it happen," Su Muyun looked at Lin Hao and said loudly.

"Alright, I'll try my best," Lin Hao replied with a pained expression.

"Not try, must! If you can't make it happen, we'll get a divorce!" Su Muyun immediately got agitated.

"Understood," Lin Hao replied helplessly.

"By the way, Lin Hao, how is Mu Chen's matter going? Any news?" Su Dingfang asked.

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "Today I hinted to Secretary Li about it. From the tone, there's no rush to appoint a new Finance Bureau Chief. It will depend on the city's stance on Director Wu first."

The Director Wu he referred to was Su Muchen's boss, the former Finance Bureau Chief, who is still under investigation by the city disciplinary committee due to Secretary Zhang's involvement.

Hearing that Lin Hao was concerned about her matter, Su Muchen immediately smiled and said, "You're right, Director Wu is still with the city disciplinary committee and hasn't been officially charged. We really shouldn't rush it."

"Lin Hao, you should keep an eye on your big sister's matter, lest someone else snatches this position away," Su Dingfang advised. T*his$ cha-pt%er@ fi&r!s&t$ a*p&p!ea&r*ed on M*|V|L%^+E$MP+Y#R.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll definitely keep an eye on it," Lin Hao quickly replied.

At that moment, Luo Zhijun's phone rang, and he quickly got up to take the call on the balcony.

Meanwhile, Su Dingfang loudly called, "Meizhu, make a cup of tea for Lin Hao."

"Coming," Peng Meizhu replied loudly from the kitchen.

Soon, this stepmother's sister, technically an aunt in familial terms, came over with tea for Lin Hao.

This attractive aunt was even more voluptuous than Peng Yunyan, especially with her rounded hips and prominently firm bosom, which was impressive.

She was wearing a floral short skirt today, revealing a pair of long legs, with a relatively low neckline.

At the moment she set down the teacup, Su Dingfang happened to catch sight of the ample cleavage, instantly feeling a surge of heat.

Lin Hao naturally noticed his father-in-law's leering eyes but pretended not to see and handed over a cigarette.

Su Dingfang took the cigarette and lit it himself, taking a deep drag.

"Sister, brother-in-law, if there's nothing else today, I'll head back first," Peng Meizhu said to Peng Yunyan.

"Alright, go ahead. Remember to buy spare ribs tomorrow morning," Peng Yunyan replied.

"Got it, sister," Peng Meizhu glanced at Su Dingfang and then turned to leave.

After Peng Meizhu left, Luo Zhijun came in after finishing his call and said, "Mu Chen, someone invited me for drinks, I'll head out."

"You've already had plenty to drink today, you're going to drink again! It might just kill you!" Su Muchen angrily retorted.

"It's alright, I can handle it," Luo Zhijun awkwardly smiled.

"Is it that Shen Sihai asking you to drink? Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from such people?" Su Muchen said with a sour face.

Seeing this son-in-law not listening to his daughter, Su Dingfang warned coldly, "Zhijun, your issues are not entirely over yet. You must keep a low profile for now and try to stay away from Shen Sihai in the future. He's not a good person."
