The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 594 - 594: Viewing Money as Dirt

Chapter 594

Lin Hao asked so directly that if it were an average person, they would definitely deny it or just express their sincerity.
However, Liu Qin was different and nodded, "Yes, I want to bribe you!"
"President Liu, do you know what crime bribing a government official entails?" Lin Hao asked with a calm smile.
"Of course I know, it's a crime of bribery, right?" Liu Qin showed no fear.
"If the crime of bribery is serious, you'd have to go to prison!" Lin Hao said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid, because you would also go to prison for accepting a bribe," Liu Qin replied with a sly grin.
"Then aren't we a pair of lovers sharing the same fate?" Lin Hao joked.
"Don't joke around with me. Just say it, how much do you want? Name a price, and I'll make sure you're satisfied," Liu Qin continued to test Lin Hao's bottom line.
"Satisfy me? I'm just afraid you can't satisfy me," Lin Hao said, his eyes veiled with a double meaning as he glanced at her full figure.
Today Liu Qin was wearing a white dress, her slim figure, perfect proportions, and charming face truly made her a captivating beauty.
Seeing Lin Hao disrespect her so, the beauty was instantly furious, yet she restrained her temper, coldly saying, "Rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Well then, how about a billion?" Lin Hao said offhandedly.
"What? A billion?" Liu Qin exclaimed as if someone had stepped on her tail.
"Hehehe... See? I knew you didn't have it, so our bribery doesn't exist," Lin Hao said with a sly laugh.
"You punk, are you playing with me?" Liu Qin was a bit angry.
"To be honest with President Liu, I don't accept bribes, and I won't put all the projects solely on the Industrial and Commercial Bank. After all, you can't put all eggs in one basket. If something happens, it would be bad!"
Lin Hao's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Wucheng County is in a period of rapid economic development. I have to be responsible to all the county's residents and to the employees of the companies buying our houses. It's impossible to only cooperate with you and ignore other banks..."
"Of course, I'm doing this for your sake too. In case of a supply cutoff, you won't face major economic problems. Otherwise, if there's a wave of supply cuts, you could be the first to be held accountable."
Listening to Lin Hao's explanation, Liu Qin calmed down considerably, realizing that he wasn't wrong; she had only been thinking of business expansion without considering the risks.
Lin Hao wanted multiple banks to share the risk, considering it from a broader perspective.
"But thirty percent is too little. I want to fight for more benefits. After all, since I'm personally here, I should at least get fifty percent," Liu Qin was still relentless.
"No way! Thirty is thirty, that's my bottom line!" Lin Hao firmly refused.
"Can't you give me a little face?" Liu Qin pouted.
The saying 'a woman's pouting gets the best results' isn't false!
Lin Hao looked at her, thought for a moment, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll give you five more points, thirty-five percent!"
"Deal!" Liu Qin smiled happily.
After all, such a large project in the new district, those five extra points were not a small sum, and Lin Hao also gave her enough face.
"County Magistrate Lin, I didn't expect someone so young to have such courage. It's truly remarkable!" Liu Qin laughed and praised.
"President Liu is giving off so much pressure; I was almost out of breath," Lin Hao responded with a smile.
"So how much do I give you?" Liu Qin's smile faded as she asked.
"I told you, I won't ask for anything material. I agreed to thirty-five percent based on the actual situation." Lin Hao replied with a smile.
"You've never accepted a bribe?" Liu Qin stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was lying.
Lin Hao looked calm, with a smile, saying, "I really don't care about money; I see it as worthless. Although people wanted to give me money, I've never accepted a bribe."
Liu Qin, seeing his clear eyes and sincere expression, believed he indeed had never taken money.
But this bastard really sees money as worthless?
"County Magistrate Lin, I've decided to make friends with you. Feel free to come find me in the provincial city if something comes up." Liu Qin unprecedentedly handed him a business card.
Lin Hao took a look at it and smiled, "I don't have a business card, so I'll just give you my phone number."
"No problem, you say it, I'll save it." Liu Qin promptly took out her phone and saved his number.
The two chatted for a little while longer before leaving the private room together.
President Min and the others were waiting in the living room, and when they saw them coming out joking and laughing, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"County Magistrate Lin, it was a pleasure meeting you. Be sure to come find me in the provincial city next time." Liu Qin said with a smile as she shook hands with Lin Hao to say goodbye.
She had to rush back to the provincial city overnight for an important meeting the next day. This trip was initially to inspect the work of the branch in Wuning City and also to support President Min.
Now that the business was settled, it was a major accomplishment, and she could finally back to the headquarters.
"President Liu, I definitely will!" Lin Hao agreed with a smile.
President Mu and President Min also shook hands with Lin Hao before they all drove away with President Liu.
A tipsy Lin Hao turned to Yu Peishan, grimacing, "President Yu, you're really good at creating trouble for me!"
"Sorry, I didn't know they would be so aggressive," Yu Peishan responded, her face full of embarrassment.
"The provincial head of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, that's a department-level official. If I mishandle this slightly, the consequences would be severe." Lin Hao admitted he was lucky.
Actually, he was well-aware of the big banks' situation. Among the big five in Wucheng County, the Construction Bank was the weakest, deserving a little less, while giving the rest fifteen to twenty was enough.
The Industrial and Commercial Bank was also the strongest in Wucheng County, which was why he sought President Min's help for Yu Peishan.
"Sorry, let's go singing, my treat." Yu Peishan pulled him back to the hotel.
Actually, the matter wasn't entirely her fault since President Min never told her about President Mu and President Liu, which put Lin Hao in a passive position.
If things had really fallen out with President Liu, it would've been bad news for both of them.
Of course, her inviting Lin Hao to sing wasn't strictly about singing, she wanted to make it up to him emotionally.
Even though he had forced her earlier, seeing him settle things with a department-level President Liu, Yu Peishan naturally wanted to hold onto him.
Lin Hao naturally guessed her intention, so both went to Song City, got a luxurious private room.
Such a luxurious room had a spacious sofa, enough for them to become intimate, and a large bathroom that could accommodate some action too.
As a woman, Yu Peishan was somewhat reserved, didn't actively throw herself at him; instead, she played a dance tune and invited Lin Hao to dance with her.
Lin Hao held the beauty's slender waist, smelling her fragrance, and felt heat rising as he hardened.
