Faced with such a troublesome vixen, Lin Hao was utterly speechless.

"Then go take a bath." Lin Hao pushed her into the bathroom of the master bedroom.

As soon as he heard the sound of water splashing inside, he immediately turned around and slipped away.

When Cheng Jiayao came out of the bathroom and found Lin Hao had already disappeared, she pursed her lips and smiled.

After leaving, Lin Hao also broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he couldn't control himself from doing something to this beautiful director.

He felt it was better if they remained at a professional relationship to avoid any complications and entanglements later on.

As for bringing in Kanghui Technology Group to invest and promote the economic development of the county, it was certainly beneficial for the country and the people.

Lin Hao did some economic calculations and felt Chairman Kang's requests were not excessive. After all, they were also coming here to make money, and if he could make an introduction, it would be the icing on the cake.

With such abundant bamboo resources in Wucheng County, once this agricultural project gets underway, it will not only increase the income of farmers but also solve some employment issues.

As long as the people have money, the spending power of the entire Wucheng County will also rise, naturally leading to economic prosperity.

As the deputy county mayor in charge of the economy, who is effectively acting as the executive deputy county mayor, Lin Hao also wanted to do his job well.

Regarding the upcoming economic census work, he now has sufficient confidence.

Just a few steps after coming out, Lin Hao received a call from Li Jingyi.

"How was today's reception?" Li Jingyi asked straight to the point.

"The reception was completed successfully. Chairman Kang of Kanghui Technology Group already has the idea of investing and building a factory in Wucheng County. The preliminary plan is..." Lin Hao detailed the negotiations between both parties.

"If that's the case, then hurry and get the bamboo fiber project rolling. You must keep a close eye on this." Li Jingyi instructed.

"Rest assured, Secretary Li, we had an in-depth discussion today. Chairman Kang will send a detailed cooperation plan within three days after returning. If time permits, we think it's necessary to go to Kanghui Technology Group to investigate and research some things..." Lin Hao felt there were no major issues, but they still needed to explore carefully, so it would be good to thoroughly investigate at Kanghui Technology Group.

"I'm really pressed for time now, so when the time comes, you personally lead the team there, see their financial status, and other production conditions..." Li Jingyi completely handed this matter over to Lin Hao.

No other choice, since there's been an issue with Wucheng County's leadership team, the city committee is still figuring out adjustments, she has to stay on the command post to prevent any mishaps.

"Secretary Li, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you." Lin Hao said.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Li Jingyi asked.

"It's like this, today during the reception for the chairman of Kanghui Technology Group, we probably exceeded the expense limit, and it was the Investment Promotion Bureau that paid for it..." Lin Hao paused slightly at this point.

"It's quite normal for reception expenses to exceed limits. As long as they're bringing billions in revenue for our county's farmers, surely Wucheng County Government can afford a meal. The excess expenses should be covered by the Investment Promotion Bureau... Oh, I remember something about the Finance Department mentioning that the Investment Promotion Bureau had exceeded their expenses a bit too much last time..." Li Jingyi seemed to remember the previous issue.

"Honestly, for the economic development of our county, the Investment Promotion Bureau is really taking responsibility. They've achieved commendable results, and their work is evident to all." Lin Hao praised generously.

Li Jingyi naturally understood the implications of his words, and with so many projects starting up in Wucheng County and frequent receptions, it was normal for expenses to exceed limits.

"Since you've put it that way, these expenses will be approved to the Investment Promotion Bureau. Have them prepare a detailed expenditure list and submit it." Li Jingyi made the decision.

"Secretary Li, you're wise. Many thanks to Secretary Li." Lin Hao expressed his gratitude with a smile.

"Stop flattering and hurry up to take a rest." Li Jingyi scolded teasingly.

"Alright." Lin Hao replied with a smile and hung up the phone.

Lin Hao lit a cigarette, had a deep drag, and blew out a smoke ring, preparing to hail a cab home, when he received a call from Luo Yimei.

"Boohoo... Brother-in-law, where are you?"

"Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?" Lin Hao was shocked.

"My brother was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, boohoo..." Luo Yimei started crying again.

"I thought it was a big issue, don't worry, your brother will be fine." Lin Hao laughed and comforted her.

"They say once someone goes into the Discipline Inspection Commission, they won't have a chance to come out." Luo Yimei sobbed.

"How could that be? I believe nothing will happen to your brother." Lin Hao reassured her again.

"Brother Lin, I want to see my brother. Is there anything you can do?" Luo Yimei asked.

"Well... people who are being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission aren't allowed visits." Lin Hao said with a distressed expression.

"Brother Lin, I heard you became the deputy county mayor. Can't you do anything? Boohoo..." Luo Yimei started crying again.

"Don't cry! Don't cry..." Lin Hao really couldn't handle her and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you now?"

"Come over, I'm at home." Luo Yimei answered with a sobbing tone.

Lin Hao knew he couldn't explain things to her at the moment, so he had to go over and see her to prevent her from being so sad.

When he arrived at the little sister's home, her best friend Huang Wanling was trying to comfort her, but the young lady was already frightened and kept crying.

"Brother Lin, please comfort Yimei." Huang Wanling said loudly.

Lin Hao walked slowly over to Luo Yimei, looked her up and down, and laughed, "Why are you crying like a tabby cat?"

"You're the tabby cat!" Luo Yimei immediately retorted.

"Hahaha..." Lin Hao burst out laughing.

"Brother-in-law, I'm worried sick, and you're laughing?" Luo Yimei rushed forward, raising her little fists to hit Lin Hao.

Lin Hao grabbed her hands, wiped the tears off her face, and said seriously, "Alright, alright, don't cry, your brother is fine."

"They say once in the Discipline Inspection Commission, even if you don't die, you'll shed a layer of skin; I'm really scared." Luo Yimei said worriedly.

"Let me tell you, your brother just followed Shen Sihai for some eating and drinking, what's the big deal? At most, it's just a lifestyle issue." Lin Hao explained with a smile.

"If it's a lifestyle problem, what's usually the punishment?" Luo Yimei asked anxiously.

"It depends on his attitude about admitting mistakes. If he has a good attitude, it might just result in a record or a warning, but it's not a life-threatening issue." Lin Hao answered with a smile.

"Really? You're not lying to me?" Luo Yimei was still a bit worried.

"Of course, I won't lie to you. Rest assured, once the investigation is clear, they will release your brother." Lin Hao reassured her with a smile.

"Brother Lin, I want to see my brother, can you think of a way to help me?" Luo Yimei requested.
