The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 618 - 618: Filling the Gap

People within the system all know that there's only one position, but many wish to compete for it, and those who lose will naturally bear a grudge.
However, in such situations, they generally won't resort to lethal means, nor will they take drastic actions.
Overall, Zhang Yonghong is undoubtedly the biggest suspect, but he's now been detained, and the specifics are not very clear.
However, someone capable of becoming a deputy mayor is no easy character. Commanding his subordinates to retaliate against Li Jingyi is entirely possible.
He plans to discuss this matter privately with Zhou Bin, as he might have a way to investigate Zhang Yonghong's current situation. If Zhang Yonghong is indeed remotely directing his underlings, there might be some clues.
After discussing this matter, Lin Hao moved on to talk about official business.
"Yesterday, I went to Zhenjiang Village again, mainly to inspect the Chaotic Stone Beach at the uppermost part. That place is full of cobblestones and river sand, which is a weak point in flood defense, but it's also a source of income for us..."
"A source of income?" Li Jingyi immediately showed interest.
"Because those cobblestones and river sand are essential materials for construction sites, I plan to excavate all the sand and stones there, pile them up at the very top to block floods, and then we can sell them in the future..."
Lin Hao detailed his ideas.
These sand and stones seem burdensome, but extracting them now can both aid flood prevention and be sold to real estate developers later. Why not?
As the county party secretary, Li Jingyi was currently in dire need of funding, so she readily agreed.
"Do as you propose, adding a bit to the treasury is always good. The construction of the new district must have solid groundwork. Do you plan to involve those enterprises?"
"My stance remains unchanged; I suggest having our county's Urban Investment Company, under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, take the lead in acquiring and developing land, while allocating part of the land to private enterprises. This way, we avoid any monopoly accusations and offer affordable prices to the workers looking to buy homes..."
Lin Hao elaborated, mentioning Huamao Group among others.
Li Jingyi knew of the special relationship between the Su Family and Lin Hao, and with a smile, she said, "Huamao Group is your ex-wife's family, and you still look after them?"
"Secretary Li, you've misunderstood. Huamao Group, as a major land enterprise, is very well-funded. We are selling land, not running a charity. Companies without money can't buy our land even if they want to invest in real estate!" Lin Hao explained with a smile.
"Hmm..." Li Jingyi nodded slightly, deeply agreeing, "You're right, without money to buy land, giving them quotas would be useless. However, most local enterprises have already invested in the new energy battery supply chain, so finding funded companies is challenging!"
"Although many bosses have called and messaged me, wanting a piece of the new district project, not many actually have the funds to buy land. But I have already contacted a big company in Wuning City; they have the money to buy land. I'll head up to talk with them over the weekend."
Lin Hao intended to involve Yuanyuan's investment company in the project.
While he had previously had Zhang Yuanyuan register a real estate company, figuring out how to integrate it into the new district's development in Wucheng County still required careful consideration.
For now, he didn't want to reveal his relationship with Zhang Yuanyuan, preferring instead to have a trusted person manage the real estate business.
Thus, he planned to visit Wuning City over the weekend to discuss matters with Yuanyuan and her friend Tang Shiying, and also to meet with Ling Feng and others to assess their company.
If Fang Mengzhu had returned, he also hoped to rekindle their old romance and have another intimate encounter with her.
Li Jingyi, hearing that he had found a large real estate company, smiled and said, "Since you have it all figured out, I won't say much more, just a reminder: don't rush things. The development of the new district should progress step by step because building a new city cannot be achieved quickly."
"Understood. Additionally, President Kang of Kanghui Technology Group has invited me to conduct a survey, presumably to adjust the strategic development direction of the bamboo fiber project. I plan to visit this afternoon..."
Originally, he planned to go there over the weekend, but as County Magistrate Wei had been in a car accident, the county's various tasks would likely be interrupted, so he decided to conduct the survey at Kanghui Technology Group today.
"Kanghui Technology Group is a major agricultural project. If President Kang has any ideas, it's good for you to communicate with her directly."
Li Jingyi nodded slightly, touching on another matter, "Moreover, both the secretary and the mayor of Qingquan Town have been dismissed, and we need to fill these vacancies. Do you have a suitable candidate in mind, or do you know of someone appropriate?"
Lin Hao suddenly thought of Qingquan Town, which had been included in the bamboo fiber project's raw material processing base, and now that both its secretary and mayor were dismissed, no wonder President Kang wanted him to visit so urgently.
It's clear that President Kang wanted to discuss the initial processing base issue.
"No wonder President Kang asked me to visit; she seems very concerned about the situation in Qingquan Town!" Lin Hao exclaimed.
Li Jingyi seemed to understand his insinuation and, with a smile, said, "That's why I'm eager to fill the vacancies quickly. If we have too much government personnel turnover, it's not good news for businesses."
Lin Hao quickly searched his mind, and among people he knew, only Liu Tingting's husband, Feng Daqiang, seemed suitable for the position, which would also indirectly help Liu Tingting.
Of course, he couldn't immediately reveal his intentions and instead replied with a smile, "Secretary Li, for the candidates of the secretary and mayor, you should consult the Organization Department."
"You little rascal, using bureaucratic jargon on me." Li Jingyi rolled her eyes at him.
"The candidates for the mayor and secretary are generally promoted from deputy positions. Based on what I've gathered, Feng Daqiang from Quan Shui Town shows some capability. How about considering him for the mayor's role?" Lin Hao said earnestly.
"And what about the secretary position?" Li Jingyi nodded slightly and asked again.
"The candidate for the secretary's role can be selected from among several mayors or drawn from various government department sections. As for who that should be, I'll leave it to you to decide." Lin Hao responded with a smile.
Li Jingyi understood that he meant for her to decide the secretary's position. After all, party affairs fell under Secretary Li's responsibility, while Lin Hao only needed to manage the government side.
Many times, it's best to focus on one's own domain and not overextend one's reach.
"Alright, I'll think it over." Li Jingyi nodded with a smile.
