As one of the counties under Wuning City's jurisdiction, Wucheng County faces immense pressure to double its economic growth targets.

However, as the saying goes, pressure breeds motivation, and it has filled Lin Hao, who has just ascended to power, with fighting spirit.

Of course, there's another reason: Secretary Cao's plan is to directly push him into the position of Executive Deputy County Magistrate, entering the core of power in Wucheng County.

At such a crucial moment, Lin Hao can't afford to be careless. If anything goes wrong, his position as Executive Deputy County Magistrate might be jeopardized.

After Li Jingyi returned, she promptly met privately with several party committee members to convey the spirit of the recent meeting and also mentioned the proposal to promote Lin Hao to a Deputy County Magistrate.

The veteran members acknowledged that Lin Hao is excellent at economic matters. Coupled with Secretary Cao's intentions, they chose to hold back on their opinions.

As for the official appointment document, it will likely wait for the formal convening of the party committee to discuss, and it also depends on the opinions from the municipal party organization department.

After arranging things, Lin Hao quickly called Fang Mengzhu, comforting his first love.

Fortunately, the beauty understood his work, assuring him to work diligently and plan to buy a house in Wuning City for a long-term stay.

After receiving Lin Hao's orders, Director Tan from Binjiang Industrial Park worked overtime to prepare the materials, finally completing the task before off duty.

Tan Bin, being the head of the industrial park, was an old acquaintance with Lin Hao. He promptly called Lin Hao after finishing the materials.

"County Magistrate Lin, this is Tan Bin."

"Hello, Director Tan!"

"County Magistrate Lin, the materials you mentioned are ready. Should I deliver them myself, or send them directly on WeChat to you?" Tan Bin asked.

"No need to make a trip here, just send them to me directly." Lin Hao didn't want to trouble him.

"County Magistrate Lin, I'll send them to you right away. If there's any issue with the materials, call me immediately. I'll be here late as there's something I need to finish." Tan Bin said.

Director Tan's high emotional intelligence and administrative strategy were evident. While he said he had work to delay his office departure, he was actually telling Lin Hao he would wait in the office in case the materials needed adjustments.

Lin Hao naturally understood his intent, smiling, "Alright, I'll check them immediately. If there's an issue, I'll contact you at once."

"Sounds good." Tan Bin responded.

Lin Hao opened his WeChat and received the materials, immediately beginning to review them.

Several companies planned to enter the park this time, with Red Era Group leading. They required the most factory space, and Tan Bin provided detailed blueprints and subsequent equipment layouts.

As for the factories needed by other companies, there were general locations, specific areas, water, electricity, and gas requirements, and prices, all meticulously detailed.

Lin Hao began to carefully review and silently noted these details to facilitate the upcoming discussions on construction land with the enterprise leaders.

Though called discussions, it was actually about allocating the construction land to those who could invest and urgently needed land or had the capacity to stockpile land.

Ten minutes after the office hours ended, Lin Hao messaged Tan Bin stating everything was fine and continued reviewing the documents.

Once finished, he'd been working overtime for more than an hour, eventually taking his briefcase and leaving the office.

"Xiaolu, why haven't you left?" Lin Hao spotted the beauty in the large office.

"County Magistrate Lin, you haven't left yet, what if something happens?" Lu Xiaodan stood up.

Lin Hao smiled and laughed, "You're really a silly girl. If there's an issue, I would definitely call you. You should go home quickly."

"Alright." Lu Xiaodan hurriedly tidied up her desk files.

Lin Hao checked the time and said, "Since you stayed to accompany my overtime, let me treat you to dinner. What do you want?"

"That's not necessary, right?" Lu Xiaodan refused.

"Come on, I'll drive you home after dinner." Lin Hao insisted on treating her.

Despite feeling a bit awkward, since County Magistrate Lin was treating, Lu Xiaodan had no choice but to follow.

They went to a nearby hot pot place and started eating.

Actually, Lin Hao wasn't very fond of hot pot, but since the young lady was a hot pot enthusiast, he obliged her.

"Xiaolu, order whatever you like, don't be formal with me." Lin Hao handed the menu to the beauty.

"County Magistrate Lin, why don't you order." Lu Xiaodan felt embarrassed and declined.

"I'm not picky, order things you like, don't skimp. Leaders still have some money." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Knowing she couldn't refuse, Lu Xiaodan ordered some items she liked, and they began their meal.

With the weather hot and eating hot pot, they naturally ordered ice-cold beer, eating and drinking together.

"Xiaolu, I haven't asked about your family situation. What do your parents do? Any siblings?" Lin Hao casually asked.

"My family is in the Kangjiayuan District on the west side of the city. My parents work in a glass factory, in managerial roles. I'm an only child, no siblings..." The beauty didn't hide anything, sharing her family background.

Turns out, her parents were leaders in the glass factory, explaining how she got into the county government.

However, she didn't specify what leader her parents were, and Lin Hao didn't pry, as it's their private matter, asking too much would be inappropriate.

Of course, her entry into the county government was also helped by her graduation from Wuning University, the diploma being an important stepping stone.

"County Magistrate Lin, I heard you're married. Your wife must be very beautiful, right? I've never seen her come to find you." Xiaodan asked with a smile.

"She looks alright, not as pretty as you. She's been transferred to the admissions office as a director and busy with work and social events, hardly having time to visit me. Besides, you see, I have many things to handle..." Lin Hao narrated.

The two grew closer, happily drinking ice-cold beer, and opened up a lively conversation.

Suddenly, a young man walked straight up to them, angrily staring at Lu Xiaodan.

"Lu Xiaodan, is this your idea of overtime?"

"Xu Yao, you... how did you get here?" Lu Xiaodan stood up with delight.

"Didn't you say you had overtime? Overtime at the dinner table with your leader?" Xu Yao's words were harsh, fiercely glaring at Lin Hao.

"You misunderstand, we just finished overtime and came out to eat." Lu Xiaodan quickly explained.

"If I hadn't come, would you continue overtime after the meal? Overtime till midnight?" Xu Yao's words became increasingly severe.
