The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 123: A Huge Misunderstanding



At this moment, the once arrogant Manager Chen was now sweating profusely, his face full of embarrassment, looking as if he was in mourning.

When Wen Xiangyu heard Lin Hao's tone, he too began to sweat and turned his head fiercely to shout at Chen Lihua, "Manager Chen, this is Director Lin from the County Party Committee Office. He has a family, and you said he's dating Xia Xuan? What were you thinking?"

What? County Party Committee Office Director?

Chen Lihua's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried to step forward, bowing to apologize.

"Director Lin, I'm truly sorry! I... I really misunderstood. Please don't hold it against me."

"You don't need to apologize to me. You falsely accused Xia Xuan of dating without any evidence. She's just a young woman. Can you slander her like that? You should apologize to Xia Xuan."

Chen Lihua's face stiffened, and Wen Xiangyu interjected, "Manager Chen, aren't you going to apologize to Xia Xuan?"

Forcing her, as a manager, to apologize to an intern was humiliating. How could she hold her head up in the office afterward?

Wasn't this asking for her life?

"Apologize, didn't you hear?" Wen Xiangyu snapped coldly.

Chen Lihua's face turned ashen, and she drooped her head, walking over to Xia Xuan, bowing slightly and muttering, "Xia Xuan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"I can't hear you!" Lin Hao shouted coldly.

Confronted with the wrath of this County Party Committee Office Director, Wen Xiangyu was also startled and promptly slapped Chen Lihua across the face.

Smack! М|V|LЕМ*РYR is thе hоmе оf this сhаptеr

The loud slap shocked everyone, even Lin Hao hadn't expected such decisiveness from the general manager.

"I told you to apologize, what's wrong? Haven't you eaten?" Wen Xiangyu continued coldly.

Chen Lihua was completely stunned and cried out, bowing deeply to Xia Xuan, exclaiming, "Xia Xuan, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you!"

"Never mind, it's nothing serious. Lin said he wants to register a branch company for Red Era Group here. We were really discussing business!" Xia Xuan explained bitterly once again.

What? Red Era Group?

The weight of these words astonished Wen Xiangyu and everyone present.

"Director Lin, is the Red Era Group really going to register a branch here?" Wen Xiangyu confirmed.

"Red Era Group plans to invest two billion to build a factory in our county and let me register a branch for them. However, your so-called manager wanted to kick me out. Do you think I shouldn't be angry?" Lin Hao said indifferently.

"Director Lin, this was a mistake on our work's end, and it's absolutely a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! Please, Director Lin, calm down. Come to my office for some tea, and we can discuss it in detail." Wen Xiangyu said with a smile.

"President Wen, your attitude isn't bad. For your sake, I won't pursue this matter further, but Xia Xuan is my friend. I hope she won't be subjected to any difficulties or ostracism in your company." Lin Hao said coldly.

"Director Lin, rest assured, such things won't happen." Wen Xiangyu promised, slightly bowing and gesturing invitingly.

Lin Hao took a couple of steps forward and said, "Xia Xuan, you come along. We'll go to President Wen's office to continue discussing the branch registration details."

"This..." Xia Xuan hesitated, glancing at President Wen.

Wen Xiangyu immediately said, "Xia Xuan, since Director Lin asked you to come, you should come."

"Okay." Xia Xuan then followed.

Watching them leave, Chen Lihua's head buzzed, her face ashen, and she nearly collapsed to the floor.

Lin Hao went to President Wen's office for a while to have some tea. Then he entrusted Xia Xuan with the matters, asking Zhang Yuanyuan to hand over the investment company's finances to Mango Taxation Company.

Regarding the Red Era Group's branch company formation, the large company would surely need a financial team. If they could hire them as financial advisors, that would be even better.

Of course, Lin Hao also mentioned the new energy battery industry chain, promising to introduce clients to President Wen later, which made President Wen extremely grateful.

After Lin Hao left, President Wen immediately ordered Xia Xuan's conversion to a full-time position, while Manager Chen was punished and placed on probation to observe future performance.

Actually, what Lin Hao said about the new energy battery upstream and downstream industries was absolutely true, because he was also thinking of giving part of the business to his own family.

After leaving, he called his cousin-in-law, Su Muyu, asking her to find some time to meet.

"Brother-in-law, I have time. At any time, I'm at your beck and call," Su Muyu teased with a smile.

"How about this, if nothing urgent comes up, let's set it for seven in the evening at Ju Yuan Mei Private Kitchen," Lin Hao said.

"Okay, brother-in-law. Is there news from Red Era Group?" Su Muyu probed.

"There's a bit of progress. We'll discuss it when we meet," Lin Hao replied.

"Alright, it's settled then, no matter what." Su Muyu was delighted.

After Lin Hao hung up, he drove back to the County Party Committee Office and received a call from Luo Zhijun.

"Vice County Magistrate Luo, do you need something?"

"Lin Hao, do you have time this evening? President Shen of Four Seas Group wants to invite you for a meal." Luo Zhijun got straight to the point.

"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight." Lin Hao declined decisively.

"An appointment tonight? Who made an appointment with you?" Luo Zhijun pursued further.

"What? Is brother-in-law managing my personal life now?" Lin Hao countered.

"How could I? I'm just curious. President Shen is very sincere, so give brother-in-law some face and have dinner." Luo Zhijun continued.

"Brother-in-law, it's not that I'm not giving you face. I really have an appointment, maybe another day." Lin Hao once again declined.

"Tomorrow is Friday; how about tomorrow night?" Luo Zhijun changed his tone.

"I don't know if anything will come up tomorrow night. What if I have to work overtime? You know working overtime at the County Party Committee Office is normal." Lin Hao replied bitterly.

"How about this, I'll contact you again before the end of work tomorrow," Luo Zhijun persistently said.

"Contact me tomorrow then." Lin Hao said before hanging up the phone.

President Shen inviting him to dinner, this is probably a setup!

Lin Hao didn't want to have any dealings with Shen Sihai, after all, he had already collected plenty of evidence of crimes committed by Four Seas Group. Once Ling Feng and his team dug up more information, they would completely eliminate this guy.

As for when to take action, Lin Hao needed an opportunity to naturally get rid of this scoundrel.

Honestly, Lin Hao was one hundred percent sure that the drug Luo Zhijun gave him was definitely given by Shen Sihai. Moreover, Shen Sihai had backing; otherwise, he couldn't have caused such a commotion in Wucheng County.

By the time he returned to the County Party Committee Office, the party member study session was about to end. Lin Hao pretended to listen for a while, and then it was soon time for lunch.

After lunch, Lin Hao prepared a speech draft for the Bureau of Commerce's economic development promotion meeting for Li Jingyi before taking a brief nap.
