Chapter 135: Henceforth Becoming a Stranger
Previously, it was suggested to lease the villa under Lin Hao's name, which would be reasonable and compliant. Now, if it's given to Lin Hao, it becomes even more inappropriate.
If this matter were to be exposed, Lin Hao would indeed be guilty of corruption and bribery.
Could it be that Su Dingzhang isn't smart enough to realize this?
Su Muyun naturally opened the box, which contained not only the villa's property deed but also several gold bars.
It's evident that Su Dingzhang thought Lin Hao wanted to take advantage of the situation, which is why he deliberately gave them a hard time.
"Lin Hao, it's just the three of us here. Rest assured, no one else will know. I swear to keep it a secret," Su Dingzhang said with a smile while looking at Lin Hao.
He believed that as soon as Lin Hao saw all the gold bars and the villa's property deed, he would instantly change his attitude and be easily controlled.
Lin Hao slightly raised the corner of his mouth and discreetly turned on his phone's recording function, smiling as he said, "Uncle, are you trying to bribe me?"
"What are you saying? This is just a small token from your uncle. I hope you won't reject it," Su Dingzhang said with a smile.
"Sorry, as a party member, I still have some integrity. Please take back these gifts," Lin Hao smiled as he declined.
"Lin Hao, just take it. It's just a token from your uncle," Su Muyun interjected to persuade.
"Su Muyun, if you dare to accept these things, I'll call the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, and then you can prepare to go to jail," Lin Hao said coldly.
Su Muyun shivered in fear, quickly closed the box, and pushed it back, saying, "Uncle, Lin Hao really can't accept these things. You're making him commit a mistake!"
"If Lin Hao doesn't want it, I won't force it. How about I lease the villa and the office building to Lin Hao for one dollar?" Su Dingzhang could only settle for second best.
"To tell you the truth, I've already arranged the villa and the office building, so you don't need to worry about it," Lin Hao said calmly.
"Lin Hao, we're all family. Why make things so unpleasant?" Su Dingzhang's expression turned ugly.
"Who's family with you? Uncle, you must be mistaken. We don't have such a good relationship, do we?" Lin Hao immediately retorted.
Su Dingzhang was slightly taken aback, knowing he hadn't been very friendly to Lin Hao before, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first." Lin Hao stood up and left. Content first released on M_VLEM_PYR.
Su Muyun tried to grab him again, but he shook her off and walked away.
"Mu Yun, I'm begging you. You must find a way to get Lin Hao to help our Su Family, or we will soon decline," Su Dingzhang said, ending up kneeling in front of Su Muyun.
"Uncle, get up, please get up!" Su Muyun was immediately flustered.
She never imagined that this matter would have such a significant impact on the Su Family, but since her uncle had knelt, she couldn't just stand by.
"Mu Yun, you absolutely must help your uncle," Su Dingzhang pleaded, crying in desperation.
"Uncle, don't worry. I'll go find Lin Hao," Su Muyun said, rushing out.
Lin Hao went downstairs to the basement to drive away. As soon as he pulled out of the parking space, Su Muyun rushed out, blocking his way.
Screech!
Lin Hao slammed on the brakes, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Su Muyun, what do you want? Are you risking your life?" Lin Hao shouted.
"Lin Hao, get out of the car," Su Muyun shouted.
Lin Hao had no choice but to stop the car, get out, and ask, "What is it?"
"This is the divorce agreement," Su Muyun said as she handed him the documents.
Lin Hao took the divorce papers, examined them closely, and was somewhat lost in thought.
Because from this moment on, he and his wife of three years would become strangers.
"Although we're divorced, for the sake of our three years together, I want to ask one last favor of you," Su Muyun said.
"Go ahead, what is it?" Lin Hao asked in a deep voice.
"For the New Energy Battery Industrial Chain project, give the Su Family a chance. Otherwise, our family might decline in the coming years, and my life won't be easy either," Su Muyun said, expressing her concerns.
Lin Hao took a deep breath, seemingly making a significant decision, and said, "Alright, for your sake, I'll help the Su Family one last time."
"Thank you, husband!" Su Muyun said, moved to tears.
"I'm no longer your husband," Lin Hao said and then got back into the car and left.
Driving back to the county office, he felt a mix of emotions, but his determination was solid; once he decided, he wouldn't regret it.
He sent a message to Su Muyu, arranging to view the villa and upscale office building at 3 PM and asked them to lease it to the government for one dollar, which would then be gifted to the Red Era Group.
By doing this, it would transform into a governmental policy discount for the Red Era Group, and no one would dare criticize it.
Upon receiving the call, Su Muyu was overjoyed and hugged Su Muyun, thanking her for saving the day at the critical moment.
Only then did Su Muyun realize that Lin Hao was no longer the same person; his power was now intimidating.
However, she was touched by Lin Hao's actions for the first time, acknowledging him despite their divorce. His help was a gesture towards her.
This showed that in Lin Hao's heart, she still held a significant place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made an exception on her account.
After this incident, Su Muyun began to question whether she should have divorced him or sought a more influential future.
After lunch, Lin Hao took a short nap in his office until Su Muyu messaged in the afternoon that she had arrived at the county office, prompting him to head out.
However, before leaving, Lin Hao called Li Jingyi to report the situation, and she approved of his decision, telling him to proceed.
Letting Huamao Group lease to the government for one dollar before transferring it to the Red Era Group as a policy favor was indeed a smart move.
Moreover, by supporting local economic development, Huamao Group set an example for other businesses, prompting them to take similar actions.
As for the projects on this industrial chain, priority would naturally be given to enterprises contributing to the local economy.
Everyone benefits, resolving government issues, fostering collaboration with the Red Era Group, and aiding future business recruitment.
With just a simple solution, Lin Hao helped Li Jingyi resolve a major problem, earning newfound respect from the beautiful secretary.
