Lin Hao continued flipping through the diary, and surprisingly, it recorded some evidence and records of bribery and corruption when Secretary Zhang was in power elsewhere.
No wonder in the previous life, Secretary Zhang could only jump off a building and commit suicide.
Lin Hao felt very conflicted, but these things must not stay here any longer. Thus, he immediately moved the box to his car and quietly drove away.
As for the key, he left it in the room, believing the landlord would find it when they came in, and he also left a stack of cash.
The current problem is, he can't take these things home, he can only keep them in his car. Even so, if someone discovers them, it would be troublesome.
...
The next day, Lin Hao drove to the County Party Committee Office to work and went to Li Jingyi's office first.
Today, Secretary Li was dressed formally, looking very dashing, but her full bosom almost bursting out of her blazer.
This kind of mature, voluptuous woman has a completely different charm and allure, providing men with silent temptation.
Lin Hao's gaze unabashedly roved over the beautiful secretary, smiling as he teased, "Secretary Li, you look even more mature in a suit."
"Mature? Lin Hao, are you implying that I'm old?" Li Jingyi glared at him.
"Not at all, Secretary Li. You're in the prime of life, mature and intelligent, absolutely incomparable to those young girls." Lin Hao hastily flattered her.
"Stop it, be serious!" Li Jingyi blushed but maintained a stern demeanor.
Lin Hao leaned in and whispered, "Ms. Jingyi, this is me being the most serious. You know what happens when I'm not."
"You..." Li Jingyi thought of the ridiculous night, and her face instantly turned scarlet with embarrassment.
Lin Hao backed away, took out his work notebook, and said loudly, "Secretary Li, for your schedule today, there's a meeting at nine in the morning, and after the meeting..."
Li Jingyi listened carefully to his work arrangement, sizing up this handsome young man, silently thinking to herself, "This really is a doomed relationship!"
"Director Lin, I need to rest at midday, unless it's extremely important, don't disturb me." Li Jingyi finally instructed.
Midday naps are quite normal within the system, and they hate being disturbed during this time the most.
"Secretary Li, rest assured, no one will dare disturb you unless they walk over my dead body!" Lin Hao replied loudly.
"You glib tongue, get lost!" Li Jingyi laughed, playfully cursing.
"Off I go immediately!" Lin Hao packed his notebook and made his exit quickly.
Back at the County Party Committee Office, Lin Hao held a brief meeting in the main office to arrange the day's work, then returned to his small office.
Until nine o'clock, he followed Li Jingyi to attend an expanded meeting convened by the county committee, with the main leaders from the county committee, county government, People's Congress, and the Political Consultative Conference all present.
Among them were Vice County Magistrate Luo Zhijun and People's Congress Chairman Su Dingfang, who was also Lin Hao's father-in-law.
Perhaps it was because Lin Hao had resumed the position of County Party Committee Office Director, today his father-in-law's face looked much better, though he didn't interact much with him.
As for Luo Zhijun, that jerk, his expression was displeased with Lin Hao, a look of haughtiness from head to toe.
During this meeting, Li Jingyi, as the county committee secretary, issued directives and arrangements for the county's work, as well as briefing on some existing issues below.
After this meeting concluded, it was already lunchtime.
"Secretary Li, are you going to eat at the cafeteria? Or shall I deliver it to your office?" Lin Hao asked softly.
"I'll go eat at the cafeteria myself, you go ahead." Li Jingyi felt that since it was her first day formally taking control of Wucheng County, it was better to eat at the cafeteria.
"Alright." Lin Hao replied, turning to leave the hall.
Suddenly, he found his path blocked by the most annoying fellow.
"Director Lin, let's have a meal together. My treat!" Luo Zhijun invited with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
"Vice County Magistrate Luo, let's skip the meal. The food at our county committee is pretty good, no need for your expense." Lin Hao decisively refused.
"Lin Hao, do you think I really want to dine with you? Mu Chen has words for me to convey." Luo Zhijun said smugly.
By Mu Chen, he naturally referred to Su Muyun's sister Su Muchen.
Ever since her father's car accident, Su Muchen's attitude toward Lin Hao changed drastically, especially after Secretary Zhang's incident, the Su Family felt their support was gone, first wanting to kick him out of the family.
Within the Su Family, the loudest voices were from Su Muchen and that stepmother Peng Yunyan, who constantly incited his wife to divorce him from behind.
"Speak quickly, fart quickly!" Lin Hao said coldly.
"Mu Chen said you worthless wretch, if you're a man, hurry back and divorce Mu Yun, don't be a cowardly turtle!" Luo Zhijun imitated Su Muchen's tone, speaking mockingly.
"Tell Su Muchen, our divorce or not has nothing to do with her, let her get lost as far as possible!" Lin Hao said, tossing his head as he turned to leave.
"Don't worry, Lin Hao, I'll pass your message word for word." Luo Zhijun responded loudly.
Lin Hao knew this jerk would definitely embellish and tarnish his name in front of Su Muchen and Peng Yunyan, but he was no longer the shy Lin Hao he used to be.
He didn't walk far when he came across the Agriculture Bureau's Director Chen Jiawei.
"Director Lin, congratulations! Cheers, cheers!" Chen Jiawei joked with a smile.
"Director Chen, please stop teasing me." Lin Hao said with a grimace.
"Alright, tonight I'll find a place, and we'll have a drink to celebrate for you." Chen Jiawei said in a low voice.
Lin Hao thought of helping Liu Tingting, nodded, and agreed, "You arrange it, I'll foot the bill, contact me after work."
"How could I let you foot the bill? Tonight I'm treating you." Chen Jiawei said.
"No way, I'll pay tonight, otherwise, I won't come." Lin Hao insisted.
"Okay, Director Lin, I'll listen to you." Chen Jiawei laughed.
The two of them agreed to meet in the evening, and Lin Hao went to the cafeteria to eat.
In the afternoon, Lin Hao returned to his office, and surprisingly, Liu Tingting came to see him again.
"Director Lin, remember what my sister told you yesterday!" Liu Tingting reminded him with a smile.
"Ms. Ting, didn't I say I'll try my best?" Lin Hao was somewhat speechless.
"Director Lin, I saw Director Chen greet you just now, find some time to talk to him." Liu Tingting leaned in closely.
