The Invincible Son-in-law

There is a significant difference between private enterprises and state-owned enterprises.

That is the chairman's single voice dictating the company's development and strategy, driven by his personal will.

If the chairman is astute and strategic, the company can grow rapidly, but once lost, the company can fall into trouble.

After being persuaded by Lin Hao, Li Jingyi underwent a major ideological shift and decided not to concern herself with the enterprise's development but rather with how they could contribute to Wucheng County's economic development.

Chairman Guo having affairs with his secretary was a common matter, irrelevant to her, and she shouldn't meddle in it.

Li Jingyi, being experienced in the political arena, felt much better after figuring this out and handed a list to Lin Hao.

"Among these companies, many align with the economic development needs of Wucheng County, especially the ones I've circled, to be incorporated into the new energy battery industry chain..."

Li Jingyi paused slightly at this point, gave Lin Hao a deep look, and said, "As for the remaining industry chain, you handle it yourself, but always keep Wucheng County's economic development as the top priority."

Her meaning couldn't be clearer: the companies she highlighted must be integrated into the industry chain, while the other projects you handle as you see fit.

After all, the power has been given to you, and the rest is up to you. Of course, you can also favor a certain enterprise as long as it's for Wucheng County's economic development.

As Lin Hao glanced at the list, Four Seas Group immediately caught his eye, causing his expression to change subtly, his heart sinking deeply into the Pacific Ocean's abyss.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Li Jingyi evidently noticed something and asked solemnly.

In that instant, numerous pieces of criminal evidence against Four Seas Group flashed through Lin Hao's mind, chills spreading through his body as a cold sensation rose from his feet straight to his head.

Things were just as he anticipated; since Four Seas Group hadn't secured a project, they would certainly activate their hidden protection to secure it.

Undoubtedly, this protection was in Wucheng County and among a few standing committee members, as this list was undoubtedly passed through private discussions in the committee.

"It's nothing, just a bit surprising." Lin Hao quickly regained his composure.

"Speak your mind; no need to be secretive with me." Li Jingyi pressed on.

"Secretary Li, I want to ask about this Four Seas Group..." Lin Hao hesitated.

"County Magistrate Zhou insisted on adding it, saying the group is significant and Shen Sihai is capable enough to shoulder the responsibility. Is there a problem?" Li Jingyi explained in detail.

So, Shen Sihai's protector was this County Magistrate Zhou. Now he was caught.

Lin Hao was overjoyed; he intended to use this matter to identify who supported Shen Sihai, not expecting it to surface so quickly.

Of course, Lin Hao wasn't foolish; he had already instructed Ling Feng and others to conduct a detailed investigation into Four Seas Group and other enterprises to facilitate the final decision.

In the event of enterprise issues, it would implicate Secretary Li, which would be unfortunate.

Lin Hao paused slightly, contemplating whether to tell Li Jingyi or give her a hint.

"Does Four Seas Group have issues?" Li Jingyi noticed the unusual look in his eyes and asked in surprise.

"To be honest, Four Seas Group indeed has some issues, and I'm investigating it. We should have news soon." Lin Hao replied solemnly.

"In that case, keep this list with you for now. Once the investigation is clear, decide which enterprises make it. It's best for you to communicate closely with each of the directors." Li Jingyi frowned and spoke coldly.

"Secretary Li, I don't want you involved in this affair; just act as if you know nothing." Lin Hao said earnestly.

Li Jingyi deeply looked at him, nodded slightly, and replied, "Alright, you handle it."

Lin Hao didn't want her drawn into this matter, likely involving some extreme measures, which also served as a form of protection for her, not inappropriate.

Indeed, just this morning, she received news from the City Government that Vice Mayor Zhang Yonghong had been taken away.

Always read at the source—MV@LEMP@YR.

This matter seemed more complicated than it appeared; could Lin Hao also be behind this?

"Lin Hao, did you know Zhang Yonghong was taken away by the city discipline inspection committee?" Li Jingyi asked casually.

"What? Taken by the discipline committee? Why? Did something happen?" Lin Hao feigned ignorance.

"Don't play dumb with me. Honestly, are you the one dealing with him?" Li Jingyi asked solemnly.

"No, absolutely not. Think about it, do I have that kind of power?" Lin Hao would never admit it.

"Fine, if it's not you. It's better he's fallen; it relieves my pressure." Li Jingyi chuckled, clearly gloating.

"Exactly, last time he tried to drug you. This scumbag should have been caught long ago." Lin Hao laughed along.

"Alright, off you go. If Four Seas Group has issues, likely County Magistrate Zhou does too. I need to think this over." Li Jingyi seemed to have realized something.

Upon leaving, Lin Hao found Li Jia still waiting for him in the county committee office, alone.

"Li Jia, it's so late; why haven't you left yet?"

"I'm waiting to leave with you, you know?"

"Why wait for me? Head back early. I need to organize some materials in the office."

Lin Hao prepared to call Ling Feng to inquire about their investigation.

Of course, more importantly, now that Four Seas Group's protector had surfaced, Ling Feng and the team's surveillance scope and targets increased by one.

"Then let me help you." Li Jia followed him into the office, deliberately pulling the curtains closed.

Lin Hao wore an exasperated expression at the petite little temptress and said, "You should go back. Liu Tingting mentioned your boyfriend's situation; I'll keep it in mind."

"Director Lin, please do help, as there's an upcoming leadership change at County No. 1 High School." Evidently, Li Jia had received some inside information.

Indeed, once Su Muyun was temporarily assigned as the admissions office director, her departure as vice-principal would inevitably create a vacancy.

Li Jia, the petite little sister, perhaps still feeling the embarrassment from their last encounter, was nonetheless bold enough to approach again.

This evening, Lin Hao hadn't been drinking and was perfectly lucid, without any intentions toward this little sister.

However, who could withstand the little sister's enthusiasm?

"Li Jia, I will indeed try my best; you should go home." Lin Hao worried the little sister might take the initiative.

"Director Lin, didn't we have a great time last time?" Li Jia's eyes glimmered seductively.
