The Invincible Son-in-law

This time, Chairman Guo brought along six people, including the group's CEO and two vice presidents, as well as two other directors.

There was also a young, beautiful lady, supposedly the chairman's assistant, named Du Yumeng. However, she traveled in the same car with Chairman Guo, indicating that her status was clearly not simple.

According to Lin Hao's keen observation, she might well be Chairman Guo's mistress. Although nothing unusual was apparent in public, there was a subtle exchange in their eyes.

After a round of pleasantries, the convoy of five cars set off immediately for the Binjiang Industrial Park in Wucheng County.

This newly constructed industrial park is large and built right by the Wuding River, just downstream.

After a half-hour drive, the five vehicles parked in the lot of the park, where Director Tan Bin of the Binjiang Industrial Park personally came to welcome them with a few subordinates.

After disembarking, there was another round of formal introductions and pleasantries, after which, under the guidance of Tan Bin, they began to tour and inspect the entire industrial park.

Zhao Tingshen stayed at the front accompanying the chairman and provided brief explanations. If there was anything he didn't understand, he would ask Tan Bin for clarification.

Along the way, Lin Hao managed to thoroughly recognize the entourage.

Once they knew that Lin Hao was the Director of the National Development and Reform Commission and also the County Party Committee Office Director, their attitude was very amicable, proactively adding Lin Hao on WeChat and saving his phone number.

Although their warm gesture was nothing out of the ordinary, Yu Peishan evidently felt the pressure, and her expression wasn't quite normal.

Lin Hao's sharp eye quickly noticed Peishan's discomfort, but he did not show it.

Clearly, many people within the Xin Group are eyeing this project; it's not as straightforward as it appears.

After the inspection, Director Tan Bin arranged a brief discussion in the industrial park's conference room.

At noon, Lin Hao arranged for everyone to have a simple buffet lunch at the Hilton Grand Hotel. Although it was a buffet, the standards were not low.

Since there was a meeting in the afternoon, everyone ate simply without drinking any alcohol, as it would have delayed the schedule.

After lunch, Lin Hao arranged a meeting in the conference room, and Li Jingyi also arrived.

The afternoon meeting was more complex, with Li Jingyi first representing the people of Wucheng County to welcome Chairman Guo and his team from the Xin Group, and then she introduced the general situation of Wucheng County.

During this time, a video showcasing the long-standing historic city of Wucheng County was played, allowing everyone to better understand the cultural and geographical conditions of Wucheng County.

Next, Chairman Guo of the Xin Group spoke, once again introducing the Xin Group and expressing their willingness to invest in a new energy project in Wucheng County.

Zhao Tingshen was the third to speak, but he was not the main speaker, only briefly mentioning a few advantages of investing in Wucheng County, which align with the five-year economic development plan of Wuning City.

Following this, Director Cheng from the Investment Promotion Bureau presented Wucheng County's investment attraction policies and tax reduction plans, which were standard and formal.

The evening banquet, as County Magistrate Zhao mentioned, had upgraded beverages, and Chairman Guo was very happy, free-spirited in his drinking.

The only minor flaw was that Vice President Liao of Red Era Group was too busy today and couldn't accompany him, but this did not affect the atmosphere of the banquet.

Li Jingyi, citing physical discomfort, asked County Magistrate Zhao to take good care of Chairman Guo. She hurriedly ate a little, then left with Lin Hao and Li Jia. TheM|V|LE&MPYRteamworkedhardonthischapter.

After returning to the County Party Committee Office, Li Jingyi called Lin Hao in to hear his opinion.

"What do you think of the Xin Group?" Li Jingyi asked solemnly.

"The Xin Group is a comprehensive large group with businesses integrated in real estate, construction materials, hotels, entertainment, and engineering construction. Their business scope is wide, and their economic strength should be very strong..." Lin Hao answered truthfully.

"Then what do you think of Chairman Guo as a person?" Li Jingyi pursued further.

"I don't know him well enough to comment on him personally." Lin Hao shook his head.

"Lin Hao, Director Lin, don't you find this man to be quite lustful?" Li Jingyi asked coldly.

"Really? How come I didn't notice?" Lin Hao feigned ignorance.

"You're pretending, aren't you? Pretending in front of me too." Li Jingyi appeared somewhat angry.

"Well, as they say, men being lustful is instinctive, it means there's nothing wrong with his health. He came to help us with economic development; we should only focus on project construction, why get hung up on whether he's lustful?" Lin Hao seemed a bit puzzled.

To be honest, he had sensed early on that Chairman Guo was quite lustful; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought such an attractive assistant.

The main thing was, sometimes their eyes flirted with each other. With his keen insight, how could he have not noticed?

However, since they came to invest, it's akin to giving Wucheng County money. From the perspective of the National Development and Reform Commission, as well as the County Party Committee Office, there are no problems at all.

Men being lustful is a minor issue and does not affect the bigger picture, as long as it benefits the economic development of Wucheng County. Why bother with someone else's personal affairs?

Moreover, for Chairman Guo to have such a beautiful lady willingly by his side, he must have paid a corresponding price.

Otherwise, who would want a girl in her twenties taking care of a guy in his fifties?

Li Jingyi seemed to have worked this out too. Although her face still didn't look good, it had softened considerably.

"I heard that a lot of people added you on WeChat and left you their phone numbers, didn't you sense anything?"

"Sense what? They added me on WeChat and left their phone numbers; it's just work-related." Lin Hao feigned ignorance.

Logically speaking, Li Jingyi hadn't participated in the morning's industrial park inspection, so she shouldn't have known about the presidents and directors adding his WeChat.

Yet now, Li Jingyi seemed to know all about the morning's situation, did someone tell her?

Lin Hao suddenly realized, it must have been Yu Peishan who told Li Jingyi, and she probably informed her of more details.

"Don't contact anyone about this project except for Yu Peishan, understand?" Li Jingyi said sternly.

"Understood, I know the rules." Lin Hao nodded in agreement.

Just as Lin Hao had guessed, there were indeed problems within the Xin Group. Someone had their eyes on this project and wanted to kick Yu Peishan out.

However, since Yu Peishan and Li Jingyi are friends, it might be difficult for others to burn bridges.

In fact, whether in the system or in business, everyone abides by rules; no one engages in bridge-burning behavior.

But since Chairman Guo knows County Magistrate Zhao, their relationship is clearly not ordinary. If Chairman Guo truly wants to replace Yu Peishan, then Li Jingyi might find it hard to refuse cooperation.

In summary, after understanding Li Jingyi's intentions, Lin Hao naturally had a way to keep both Chairman Guo's and County Magistrate Zhao's mouths shut.
