Chapter 003: Born Beauty

Director Tian looked Lin Hao up and down, ultimately finding no anomalies, and couldn't help but harbor doubts about those rumors.

"Nothing, nothing..." Director Tian smiled, but couldn't target me any further.

"Secretary Tian, did you say something about me and Secretary Li last night? Why does that sound a bit off? Did you hear something?" Lin Hao asked indirectly.

"No, nothing." Director Tian denied once more.

Lin Hao looked at him coldly, which sent shivers down his spine. He glanced around before lowering his voice and saying, "There's a rumor outside saying you and Secretary Li have something going on, that you even booked a room at a hotel last night."

"What? Booked a room?" Lin Hao feigned surprise.

"Brother, I don't believe it either, but the rumors are detailed, saying Secretary Li has taken a liking to you and plans to keep you...," Director Tian left no stone unturned.

"Nonsense, I'm a married man, how could that be? It's pure defamation!" Lin Hao exclaimed angrily, almost losing his temper.

Honestly, it's a good thing he took away the hidden camera last night, or else if the mastermind got hold of it, the video might have already been released.

"Brother, I also find this matter suspicious. Why don't you report this to Secretary Li?" Director Tian suggested with a troubled expression.

"Director Tian, you should report this yourself. I'm supposedly the kept person now, so I need to avoid suspicion." Lin Hao refused decisively.

So this old man wanted me to take the fall, no wonder he's been guarding the door, telling me so much.

Lin Hao is no longer the naive guy he once was, and naturally won't let him have his way. It's best if that old man goes in to report, then gets severely scolded by an enraged Secretary Li.

As for Li Jingyi wanting to hire him as a secretary, Lin Hao felt it wasn't the right time. After all, with so many rumors outside, it's definitely not a good time.

Director Tian knew Lin Hao wouldn't report it, so with a bitter expression, he headed towards Secretary Li's office.

Lin Hao left the county committee office and headed to the hotel where the incident happened last night, wanting to retrieve the surveillance footage.

Unfortunately, all the surveillance cameras in the hotel corridors and entrances malfunctioned last night, and today the hotel had someone come to fix them.

Undoubtedly, the mastermind had anticipated someone retrieving the footage, or feared exposure, and had destroyed the surveillance early on.

Now the hotel has no surveillance, they didn't get the video either, so they can only spread some rumors to disgust people, which can't cause much harm.

Lin Hao believed that once Li Jingyi found out about this, she would definitely escalate it and have the police investigate.

Just as Lin Hao was about to leave, he spotted a familiar figure; it was Luo Zhijun's sister, Luo Yimei.

Fresh out of college, Luo Yimei was a natural beauty, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, her smooth skin glowing with health.

In a light pink chiffon short skirt and a white pure cotton t-shirt, her slender body had a natural charm that elegantly swayed with her movements.

The short skirt accentuated her round hips, drawing a perfect arc with her long, bare shapely legs in seven-centimeter high heels, making them appear even longer.

Watching such a youthful, vibrant, and full-figured beauty, Lin Hao couldn't help but feel a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen.

"Luo Zhijun, you're messing with me behind my back, see if I don't mess with you - no, with your sister!"

Full of a revenge mindset, Luo Zhijun quickly shouted, "Luo Yimei, what are you doing here?"

"You are?" Luo Yimei blinked, seemingly unable to recall this somewhat familiar person in front of her.

"You're Luo Zhijun's sister, right? I'm Lin Hao, Su Muyun's husband, we've met once." Lin Hao introduced himself.

"Oh, you're Ms. Mu Yun's husband, I remember now." Luo Yimei exclaimed with delight.

Luo Yimei had accompanied her brother to their in-laws' house, where Lin Hao had met her once and already thought she was pretty.

Little did he know she would blossom into someone even more attractive and sensual.

Luo Yimei, developing a crush on this handsome brother-in-law, immediately sat down with him in a corner of the hotel lobby to chat.

"Brother-in-law, you should call me Xiaomei; using my name feels distant." Luo Yimei said with a smile.

"Xiaomei, what are you doing at the hotel?" Lin Hao asked casually.

"I majored in hotel management and am about to graduate, so I came to intern at the hotel. I've been here for three days." Luo Yimei replied.

"You're interning here, it must be your brother who helped arrange it, right?" Lin Hao probed.

Luo Yimei glanced around before lowering her voice, "My brother has a good relationship with the hotel manager, and he put in a word for me. My brother told me to keep a low profile, not to draw attention."

"Got it, got it..." Lin Hao laughed.

With Luo Zhijun having a good relationship with the hotel's general manager, everything about last night made sense now.

"Xiaomei, what exactly do you do at the hotel, and can you help me with a small favor?" Lin Hao quietly asked.

"Brother-in-law, whatever I can help with, I certainly will." Luo Yimei straightforwardly agreed.

"To be honest, I want to find out who was on duty in the hotel's guest room department last night," Lin Hao asked.

"That's simple, I'll check it for you secretly in a bit." Luo Yimei readily agreed.

"Let's exchange WeChat and leave a phone number." Lin Hao took out his phone.

The two exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat, continuing their chat.

"Brother-in-law, is Ms. Mu Yun still teaching at the county's No. 1 high school?" Luo Yimei asked.

"Yes, she's now the vice principal there." Lin Hao replied with a smile.

"I have a girlfriend who studied to be a teacher. Do you think Ms. Mu Yun could find a way to get her into teaching there?" Luo Yimei inquired tentatively.

"Xiaomei, as you know, our education system conducts public recruitment every year, which requires exams and interviews. It's difficult to slip someone in through connections, unless she participates in the public recruitment exam first, and then we can think of a way." Lin Hao offered a reasonable opinion.

"Brother-in-law, my friend took the public exam, but the scores aren't out yet—they should be coming in the next few days," Luo Yimei said.

"Xiaomei, why didn't you ask your brother for help with this? It should be a breeze for him." Lin Hao asked, puzzled.

"My brother said he's not in charge of the education system, so I have to find a way myself. I think he just doesn't want to help, but I've already boasted to my friend, so, brother-in-law, please help me." In her urgency, Luo Yimei grabbed Lin Hao's arm, pouting.

"Stop shaking, brother-in-law will help you figure something out." Lin Hao readily agreed.

Since he wanted to get close to her brother, he naturally had to put in some effort to help; otherwise, how could he continue in the future?
