The Invincible Son-in-law

Everyone within the system knows that the hardest debt to repay is a favor owed. If Lin Hao needs assistance from him in the future, it will be difficult for him to refuse.

However, to help his brother-in-law secure a project, Director Ruan is going all out.

The two understood each other without words and didn't bring up the topic again. Soon, it was lunchtime.

Director Ruan invited Lin Hao to have lunch together at the adjacent Junyue Hotel, and also invited Jiayao Cheng from the Investment Promotion Bureau, Deputy Director Xu Peiyu, and the head of the investment division, Wang Ya, to accompany them.

After all, the three ladies had gone on inspections with Lin Hao before, so they were considered old acquaintances.

"Director Lin, there is still a meeting in the afternoon, so let's not drink at lunch. Let's have a simple meal, and I've booked a room for you here, so you can take a short nap at noon to ensure you're in good spirits for the afternoon meeting." Director Ruan was very considerate and arranged a resting room for him.

"Thank you, Director Ruan," Lin Hao thanked with a smile.

"Director Lin, no need to mention it. I'm grateful you could come and help arrange the afternoon meeting. Of course, I also have to thank the three ladies, so I'll toast you all with tea instead of wine." Director Ruan was very gracious and didn't neglect the three ladies.

"Director Ruan, you're too kind. Our primary focus is work. Now that the whole county's economy is about to take off, our Investment Promotion Bureau should be at the forefront," Cheng Jiayao said with a smile, raising her teacup.

Director Ruan laughed and praised, "Director Cheng is right. The leaders of Wucheng County should contribute ideas for the county's economic development, focus on improving the local economy, and raise people's living standards, which justifies the trust of all the county's people."

"Some say that if you're not in the position, you shouldn't plan the affairs. Since we've reached this position, we should at least do something real. Let's work together to successfully implement this new energy battery project and drive our county's economy forward," Lin Hao raised his cup and concluded.

"Let's come together and work hard, cheers!" Everyone clinked their cups and drank the tea instead of wine. My V+ir!tual L+ib.ra!r-y^ Em.pire (M V L E M P Y R) a@p$precia*t!e-s y&o@ur- r^eaders!hi$p+ at the s%ou*rce$.

Lin Hao felt that both Directors genuinely wanted to contribute to Wucheng County's economic development. Although there might be some ulterior motives, these small things didn't matter.

After all, as a leader, you must have a broad view and a big picture to go further.

As long as they were all contributing to the county's economic development, they were good leaders. It was okay for him to be slightly biased towards them.

Because leaders are also human, and as long as they're human, they have emotions and social relationships, which is the real essence of life.

Xu Peiyu and Wang Ya, the two beautiful ladies, had shown extraordinary drinking abilities last time when they went to Red Era Group and managed to win over Chairman Ma.

Lin Hao had a very good impression of the two of them, and it seemed they also appreciated his style and methods.

Lunch ended quickly, and Director Ruan handed the room card to Lin Hao, telling him to go up and rest himself, as he needed to go back and check the layout of the venue once more.

Unexpectedly, after Director Ruan left, Cheng Jiayao offered to escort Lin Hao upstairs.

"Director Cheng, no need to escort me. I haven't drunk any alcohol, finding a room shouldn't be a problem for me, right?" Lin Hao felt it wasn't appropriate.

After all, this was a hotel, and if someone discovered the two of them in a room, it would be hard to explain.

"It's fine, we'll all go up with Director Lin," Xu Peiyu and Wang Ya joined in the fun.

"Alright, going to the room for some tea sounds good," Lin Hao had no choice but to agree.

The three ladies followed him into a luxury king-size room in the hotel, which had a small living area with a large sofa and a coffee table, just perfect for a sit-down.

Xu Peiyu and Wang Ya took a look around and then left on the excuse of having something to do, leaving only Cheng Jiayao.

The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous once it was just the two of them.

"Director Cheng, if there's anything you need, just say it," Lin Hao broke the silence.

"Director Lin, how did you know I had something to ask you?" Cheng Jiayao blinked and asked with a smile.

"I believe if you didn't have anything, Director Cheng would have left with the two other ladies," Lin Hao smiled as he took a sip of tea.

Cheng Jiayao also tasted her tea, seemingly organizing her words, or pondering whether to make her request.

"Director Lin, my good friend's company does project supervision. There are a lot of construction projects this time; I wonder if Director Lin could help her get some work?"

"A supervision company needs qualifications and authority. What kind of company is your friend's, and how are its qualifications?"

"The qualifications are definitely not a problem, and my friend is very reliable," Cheng Jiayao said, using the term 'good friend' again, indicating their close relationship.

"Since the qualifications are not an issue, I can help you with this request," Lin Hao readily agreed.

"Director Lin, isn't this considered pulling strings?" Cheng Jiayao smiled wryly.

"Of course it is, but since you've contributed to Wucheng County's economic development, if even this small request can't be fulfilled, wouldn't that disappoint you?" Lin Hao replied with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much, Director Lin. Another day I'll have my friend treat you to dinner," Cheng Jiayao was overjoyed.

"There's no need for dinner. I consider you a friend, so there's no need to complicate things; otherwise, it would be hard for me to explain later," Lin Hao declined firmly.

Cheng Jiayao understood what he meant, which was to not associate with her friend, to prevent issues if discovered later.

Of course, Lin Hao did this for her sake, meaning she now owed him a big favor.

However, as long as Lin Hao agreed, her friend's desire for a supervision project would face little obstacle.

Initially, Cheng Jiayao was worried Lin Hao might refuse, but his willingness to help took her by surprise.

"Alright, then I'll treat you to a meal some other day," Cheng Jiayao conceded.

"Director Cheng, no need to be so formal," Lin Hao neither refused nor agreed.

"Additionally, there's another matter I want to discuss with Director Lin. You're aware that last time Zhi Xing Group came to our county for research and inspection... don't you think that Chairman Guo is very lecherous?" Cheng Jiayao brought up the same question as Li Jingyi.

"I certainly noticed. Otherwise, the Chairman wouldn't bring such a young and beautiful assistant," Lin Hao grinned.

"Our Investment Promotion Bureau feels this Chairman Guo is too lecherous. At that banquet, he even took advantage of the three of us. If such a person is brought in for investment, wouldn't he devour us whole?" Cheng Jiayao surprisingly spoke openly.

"Took advantage of you?" Lin Hao looked up and down at the beautiful director in front of him.

There's no denying, Cheng Jiayao had an extraordinary temperament, alluring and captivating, with curves in all the right places, not losing out to Li Jingyi.

"Director Lin, what are you looking at? You're not a big lecher too, are you?" Cheng Jiayao blushed instantly.
