The Invincible Son-in-law

With Li Jingyi's sharp mind, combined with the migrant workers' wage dispute, she immediately realized this was another conspiracy.

However, the fact that Lin Hao managed to block Wu Guohua and even mobilized Secretary Zhang Boqing from the Political and Legal Committee made the beautiful secretary have to reevaluate him.

At this moment, Lin Hao's phone rang, and it was Zhang Boqing calling.

Lin Hao answered and handed the phone to Li Jingyi, who began, "Secretary Zhang, this is Li Jingyi."

"Secretary Li, Director Lin's guess was correct. It was indeed arson. I've already sent people to investigate. The fire has been extinguished and the scene is under control," Zhang Boqing reported.

"Secretary Boqing, since someone deliberately set the fire, we must investigate thoroughly!" Li Jingyi's face turned ashen with genuine anger.

After all, using such underhanded tactics as arson to disrupt this negotiation is simply insane.

No matter who is behind it, once found, they will be severely punished!

"Rest assured, Secretary Li, we already have a target and are conducting inspections one by one," Zhang Boqing responded.

"Secretary Boqing, keep me informed of any progress in the investigation," Li Jingyi said seriously.

"Understood, Secretary Li," Zhang Boqing said before hanging up the phone.

Li Jingyi handed the phone back to Lin Hao, her cold expression causing Secretary Cao to take notice.

"Secretary Li, is there something wrong?" Secretary Cao asked with concern.

"Secretary Cao, I have something to report to you!" Li Jingyi said with a stern face.

"Alright, let's find a place to sit. We still have fifteen minutes before the banquet," Secretary Cao agreed readily.

Li Jingyi led Secretary Cao into the meeting room, while Lin Hao stayed outside to make sure they weren't disturbed.

Though it's unclear what they talked about, judging by the look on the two secretaries' faces when they came out, nothing seemed amiss.

Meanwhile in the private room, Zhou Banghuai, Qin Ming, Zhao Tingshen, and Jiang Yunchao were watching each other with frustration.

Their original plan to kill two birds with one stone had been effortlessly thwarted by Lin Hao twice, and after the arson incident, the cowardly rural thug confessed without being pressured and fled.

The issue now is that Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of Public Security Zhang Boqing is putting all efforts into capturing this arsonist, and once caught, the mastermind will be completely exposed.

Fortunately for Zhou Banghuai, the orders to the small thug were delivered through Shen Sihai from Four Seas Group, so the trail doesn't lead to County Magistrate Zhou for now.

They failed to ruin the Red Era Group project and failed to involve Lin Hao; instead, they made consecutive mistakes, nearly exposing themselves.

It's truly a case of gaining nothing and losing everything!

"What should we do now?" Zhao Tingshen asked coldly.

Zhou Banghuai and the others turned their heads sharply towards the door; Jiang Yunchao got up directly, opened the door to look outside, then pulled his head back in.

"There's nobody outside!" Jiang Yunchao said in a low voice.

"Even if there's no one, don't say anything rash. What if there's a bug installed here?" Zhou Banghuai said with a stern face.

"No worries, I brought a bug detector," Zhao Tingshen said calmly. Publication courtesy of M|V|LE-MPYR.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Banghuai and the others eased their expressions a bit.

"The issue with that small thug will naturally be handled by Four Seas. Don't worry about it. As for the thug from this morning, I've arranged for him to leave Wucheng County to lay low for a while," Zhou Banghuai said in a low voice.

"In that case, we don't need to worry too much," Secretary Qin Ming said with a smile, secretly relieved.

"We trust County Magistrate Zhou to handle things; we were just asking," Zhao Tingshen said with a grin.

"Don't bring this up again in the future!" Zhou Banghuai said sternly.

"Understood!" The group responded immediately.

...

Hilton Hotel.

This is the largest and most luxurious hotel in Wucheng County.

In the opulent dining room with its luxurious private suite, crystal chandeliers several meters long hung down, shining in colorful lights, dazzling everyone in sight.

In this lavish suite, nearly thirty people could be seated. There were ten people from the government side, while Red Era Group had slightly fewer at nine.

From the government side were two secretaries, along with County Magistrate Zhou, Secretary Qin, Executive Vice County Magistrate Zhao Tingshen, Vice County Magistrate Jiang Yunchao, Director Cheng from the Investment Promotion Bureau, Director Tan from the Industrial Park, Lin Hao, and Director Zheng Yanbo from the Government Office.

For Red Era Group, there was the Chairman, two Vice Presidents, four Directors, and two Project Managers, totaling nine people.

As for the other drivers and some accompanying personnel, arrangements were made for their dinners next door.

Once the sumptuous wine and food were served, Secretary Cao, as the primary leader of Wuning City, raised his glass first.

"Dear Chairman Ma Yonghe, Vice General Manager Liao Jiarong, Vice General Manager Yao Zhihua, and all distinguished guests from Red Era Group, on behalf of Wuning City's Municipal Party Committee and Government and Wucheng County's Party Committee and Government, I welcome you all!" After Secretary Cao's opening remarks, he began to applaud.

Clap clap clap...

The room was soon filled with enthusiastic applause.

"Secondly, I want to thank the Party Committee and Government of Wucheng County for their efforts in economic development. I thank Secretary Li, County Magistrate Zhou, and the leadership of Wucheng County." Secretary Cao glanced at Li Jingyi and Zhou Banghuai, a smile spread across his face.

Clap clap clap...

The applause was still as thunderous as ever.

"Lastly, on behalf of both Wuning City and Wucheng County's Party Committee and Government and the people of Wuning City, I welcome Chairman Ma and his delegation and invite them to invest and establish a factory in Wucheng County..."

"Let's raise our glasses and once again welcome Chairman Ma and his distinguished guests!"

After finishing his speech, Secretary Cao raised his glass to invite everyone.

Everyone stood up to toast and cheerfully clinked glasses, drinking heartily.

"Chairman Ma, Vice General Managers, please enjoy the food!" Secretary Cao warmly invited.

"Please!" Chairman Ma also picked up his chopsticks.

In this formal setting, dining was done with communal chopsticks, so everyone ate slowly without starting to gorge.

"Secretary Cao, Secretary Li, being able to come to Wucheng County today is a type of fate, as well as an opportunity for our Red Era Group. I was very satisfied with the industrial park's facilities and the prospects for new energy development today..."

"To all the leaders who worked hard today, let me offer this toast as a gesture of my gratitude!"

Chairman Ma also made a speech and raised his glass.

Everyone stood up, toasted each other, and enjoyed the drinks.

The two secretaries accompanied the Chairman in eating and chatting while dining.

"Chairman Ma, what do you think of Wucheng County?" Li Jingyi asked with a smile.

"Wucheng County is backed by the Wuding River, abundant in resources, and has convenient transportation. If our new energy battery project can be settled in Binjiang Industrial Park, we can use waterways for transport in the future, significantly reducing our costs..." Chairman Ma replied with a smile.
