The Invincible Son-in-law

In the middle of the night, Lin Hao drove away but didn't return to the Su Family; instead, he went to the hotel next door.

He had booked a room there and also left his changed clothes.

Therefore, he decided to spend the night at the hotel. He would talk once he woke up.

Last night, the municipal public security bureau mobilized and arrested many people. By this morning, the entire Wucheng County knew about it.

Although today was Sunday, every office in the county party committee and county government went back to work overtime.

No matter if there was something to do or not, they had to return to their posts.

Early in the morning, Li Jingyi notified the county party and government to hold an expanded meeting, mainly to resolve issues with several key positions.

Aside from Zhou Banghuai and a few other arrested county leaders, basically everyone else was present.

Li Jingyi first gave a brief report on the events of last night and conveyed Secretary Cao's instructions for the county's next steps, urging everyone to collaborate and brave challenges together.

Next, Wucheng County's Organization Department Minister, He Wulin, read out the county party committee and government's notice on Lin Hao's appointment, which also included the appointments of County Party Committee Office Director Liu Tingting and National Development and Reform Commission Director Wei Lianggui.

As for Zhou Banghuai's work as county magistrate, it was temporarily handed over to Li Jingyi, but most of the specific tasks would surely fall into Lin Hao's hands.

After the meeting ended, Lin Hao went to his new office and officially assumed the position of deputy county magistrate.

Government Office Director Zheng Yanbo was quite perceptive, assigning Lin Hao a liaison officer, Lu Xiaodan.

This young lady had just graduated from school not long ago and probably had some backing, so she was assigned to the government office.

The young lady wore a white dress, with a curvaceous figure and good looks, like a budding flower, exuding enchanting magic power.

"County Magistrate Lin, I'm your liaison officer, Lu Xiaodan. Please take care of me in the future." Lu Xiaodan bowed slightly in greeting.

Lin Hao looked up and down at the tense beauty, smiling as he said, "Xiaolu, we're all young people here, no need to be so restrained."

"Okay, County Magistrate Lin." Lu Xiaodan relaxed a bit.

"Which school did you graduate from?" Lin Hao casually asked.

"I graduated from Wuning University, majored in secretarial studies, so Director Zheng asked me to come assistant you as a liaison officer." Lu Xiaodan replied truthfully.

Lin Hao originally wanted to ask if she knew Zhang Yuanyuan, but since they weren't that familiar yet, he decided not to continue asking.

"I used to be in charge of the economy at the National Development and Reform Commission, and now as deputy county magistrate, Secretary Li also wants me to manage the economy. I have no requirements for you, just arrange my schedule well and report back to me, that's all." Lin Hao explained in detail.

Lu Xiaodan took notes in a small notebook, appearing very earnest, just like Lin Hao had before.

After the young lady left, Lin Hao began processing the backlog of documents on his desk, working busily for the entire morning to finally deal with the leftover workload.

After finishing, Lin Hao took out his phone and found more than a dozen missed calls and plenty of text messages and WeChat messages.

These were mostly congratulations on his promotion or invitations to dinner, even his father-in-law Su Dingfang sent a message.

Lin Hao knew his father-in-law was an opportunist. If he hadn't become the County Party Committee Office Director last time, Su Dingfang would have let Su Muyun divorce him long ago.

This time, he successfully advanced to deputy county magistrate, naturally making Su Dingfang thrilled, feeling he backed the right horse.

Unfortunately, Luo Zhijun, the other deputy county magistrate, was now arrested. Otherwise, with two sons-in-law as deputy county magistrates, Su Dingfang would've been even happier.

Truth be told, Su Dingfang, the old fox, had long sensed that Luo Zhijun's association with Shen Sihai would lead to trouble and had even warned Luo Zhijun, to no avail.

As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the elderly, you'll suffer.

Luo Zhijun ultimately didn't disappoint, being pulled down by Shen Sihai.

Once he enters the municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, even if he comes out, his political career will be over.

This incident rattled Su Muchen, who messaged Lin Hao asking about Luo Zhijun's situation and saying she wanted a divorce.

A husband and wife are like birds sharing a forest; when calamity comes, they fly separately!

Su Muchen worried that Luo Zhijun would affect her promotion; the best thing was to divorce quickly to prevent being dragged down in the future too.

Su Muyun's congratulatory message said simply, "Congratulations on your promotion," appearing a bit perfunctory and somewhat reluctant.

However, for this opportunistic ex-wife, Lin Hao had already taken his revenge by sleeping with her several times.

To Lin Hao's surprise, the flirtatious Peng Yunyan also sent a message, inviting him over for dinner at her place for a celebration.

Liu Tingting and Li Jia also sent messages, saying since he left early last night, they should find a time to celebrate with him.

What kind of celebration?

Probably offering themselves, letting Lin Hao have his way with them.

Lin Hao didn't refuse them outright, only saying they could meet another day, allowing them some hope.

At noon, when Lin Hao went to the cafeteria for lunch, many colleagues had already started calling him County Magistrate Lin, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

Honestly, since becoming deputy county magistrate, Lin Hao felt all his colleagues were somewhat wary of him, as if a substantial divide had formed.

This also proved one thing: the position of deputy county magistrate had distanced itself from the lower levels, entering a new echelon.

Therefore, Lin Hao felt he needed to adjust his approach to interpersonal relationships in the future to avoid giving others leverage.

...

The sky gradually darkened.

After work, Lin Hao drove back to the Su Family.

In the hall, the Su Family sisters and Peng Yunyan were all present, with a table already set with fine wines and delicacies.

"Lin Hao, we heard you've become deputy county magistrate, and Aunt Yun specially made some delicious food to celebrate." Peng Yunyan exclaimed excitedly.

Su Muchen smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Aunt Yun started preparing in the afternoon. Wash your hands and come eat quickly."

"Is that necessary?" Lin Hao glanced at Su Muyun, who was setting the table, and went to wash his hands.

When good things happen, the spirit soars!

Lin Hao felt he had finally shown up his ex-wife, even walking felt like he was floating.

No doubt, Aunt Yun went all out to celebrate Lin Hao, making many tasty dishes and even opening a good bottle of liquor.

By the time Lin Hao returned, the white wine was already served to him, and utensils were set up.

"Lin Hao, you drink the white wine while we drink the red. Let's toast." Peng Yunyan proactively raised her glass to invite.

The Su Family sisters, Su Muchen and Su Muyun, also raised their glasses to clink with his, the former smilingly saying, "Brother-in-law, congratulations on your promotion!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Su Muyun's expression seemed somewhat indifferent.
