Recently, there has been a rumor that Lin Hao and Li Jingyi had a thing going on.
Many people knew about it; although the rumor eventually died down, it was brought up again by the elder, making Lin Hao feel awkward.
Su Dingzhang saw Lin Hao deny it and laughed, saying, "County Party Committee Office Director, to put it simply, is the secretary to the County Party Secretary. The fact that Secretary Li promoted you means your work ability is strong, and your future prospects are limitless!"
"Elder, you're joking. I'm just a small director, nowhere near my brother-in-law who's already the deputy county magistrate." Lin Hao appeared very humble.
"Zhijun is certainly doing well too, since he's the deputy county magistrate. Just a step further, and he might hold the official position." Su Dingzhang smiled at Luo Zhijun, though his tone was somewhat perfunctory.
