The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 621 - 621: Complaining and Playing the Victim

A small token?
This is a lethal token. If Lin Hao accepts it, he'll be dragged down by Kang Shuran.
However, if he directly falls out with her, the bamboo fiber project might be ruined.
"President Kang, I've received your token, but I can't take it. Otherwise, next time we meet, it might be in prison." Lin Hao smiled and declined.
"County Magistrate Lin, there's a seven-figure sum in here..." Kang Shuran drew a "seven" with her fingers.
A seven-figure bank card means it contains at least a million!
Kang Shuran sure knows how to make a big gesture!
"Hehehe... to be honest, President Kang, not to mention seven figures, even if it's ten figures, I wouldn't take it." Lin Hao sneered.
What? Ten figures?
If I had ten figures, I wouldn't be here suffering.
"Hehehe..." Kang Shuran chuckled heartily, "It seems County Magistrate Lin has a big appetite!"
"President Kang is joking. You should know the situation within our system; bribery is a major taboo. I want to live a few more years, so please don't harm me with this." Lin Hao explained with a wry face.
"They say all crows under the sky are black. County Magistrate Lin is indeed special, but what exactly do you like?"
Kang Shuran poured tea for Lin Hao, her body slightly bent, and the neckline of her dress dipped lower, revealing a deep, serene snowy ravine. Lin Hao froze at the sight and hurriedly looked away.
This beautiful president is truly hard to deal with, even using the beauty trap on him.
While Lin Hao is interested in women, it's not just any woman, especially in such situations; he maintains absolute composure.
Kang Shuran's beautiful eyes flickered, having already observed Lin Hao's every move. She deliberately stretched out her legs, slightly lifted her dress, revealing two long, slender legs.
"County Magistrate Lin, judging by this, you like beauties." Kang Shuran smiled with pursed lips.
"President Kang is joking. Lust is a sharp knife, beauty is a major taboo for officials. I dare not lose control." Lin Hao smiled calmly.
"Really?" Kang Shuran blinked, her smile grew even wider.
As a businesswoman, Kang Shuran adhered to her father's success philosophy—that everyone has weaknesses, it's just a matter of finding them.
As an official within the system, if one doesn't love money, they love women. If neither, they love antiques and calligraphy, feigning elegance.
Of course, is there truly an honest official like Lord Bao under the sun?
She believes there must be, but she doesn't believe she can encounter one.
"Wucheng County's economic development must always meet environmental standards, because the Wuding River is our mother river. If we have to pollute her to develop the economy, I'd rather not develop." Lin Hao's words were firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"County Magistrate Lin, our Kanghui Technology Group certainly hopes to help Wucheng County's economic development while meeting environmental standards. However, if we introduce new equipment, there's indeed no profit to be made. We can't let our company's employees starve, can we?"
Kang Shuran showed no panic, started complaining and playing the victim.
"President Kang is joking. If there's no profit, how could the chairman agree to come here to invest and build the factory? I think you're aiming to earn more profit, aren't you?"
Lin Hao held the teacup, his eyes sharp, long having seen through this beauty's intentions.
"Hahaha..." Kang Shuran laughed heartily, "County Magistrate Lin, I don't consider money that important. However, since my father sent me here, if I can't earn more profit, how can I demonstrate my value?"
Lin Hao saw she didn't deny it and said with a smile, "A person's value isn't just about how much money they have. President Kang can bring real benefits to the people of Wucheng County, the public sentiment you gain isn't something a few cents can achieve."
However, for a wealthy second-generation beauty like Kang Shuran, it's clear this so-called public sentiment doesn't mean much.
"Public sentiment? How much is public sentiment worth? If you can't create value, Dad will definitely kick me out." Kang Shuran frowned, unmoved.
Initially, Lin Hao planned to coax her into a position in the political advisory committee, but seeing her insistence, his mind raced to find another solution.
"How about this..." Lin Hao paused, "Since President Kang only acknowledges money over people, there's a way. I can help you make money from elsewhere."
"Really? You're not fooling me?" Kang Shuran's eyes lit up, suddenly intrigued.
"President Kang, have you considered entering the real estate industry?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.
"County Magistrate Lin, are you suggesting..." Kang Shuran hesitated, a flash of surprise in her eyes, but it didn't escape Lin Hao's gaze.
"President Kang, isn't that why you sought me out?" Lin Hao smiled playfully.
"County Magistrate Lin, what do you mean by that? I don't understand what you're saying." Kang Shuran feigned ignorance, looking innocent.
"Though I fell for your trap, since you can help our Wucheng County farmers with bamboo, I won't hold it against you." Lin Hao smiled mysteriously.
Kang Shuran didn't expect the magistrate to be so clever, seeing through her little tricks, her face instantly reddened.
"County Magistrate Lin is indeed a talent among thousands. I admire you greatly." Kang Shuran nodded slightly and bowed, expressing her respect.
"Tell me, how do you want to participate in the new city's project?" Lin Hao asked directly.
Kang Shuran appeared slightly embarrassed, knowing this was Lin Hao giving her a shot. She said, "Our group's real estate development company wants to bid for the new city construction, just to secure a piece or two of land and share a slice."
"One or two pieces of land? How big?" Lin Hao pressed.
"That depends on how big a piece County Magistrate Lin allocates." Kang Shuran pushed the ball back.
"President Kang, you mean the bigger the better, might as well give it all to you." Lin Hao retorted, annoyed.
"County Magistrate Lin, don't be angry. My request isn't too high; I just need to make money to keep the bamboo fiber project running. For two pieces of land, this will be enough."
Kang Shuran extended five fingers, clearly indicating five hundred acres of land.
Lin Hao frowned, calculating in his head. Zhenjiang Village occupies only two square kilometers, roughly three thousand acres. Giving her five hundred acres would be one-sixth.
Of course, Zhenjiang Village also has some riverbank land and land filled from the river, but there still needs to be construction of roads, pathways, squares, gardens, and other places.
According to Lin Hao's previous budget, half would be handled by the Urban Investment Company, about fifteen hundred acres, with two hundred acres per plot, amounting to six or seven estates.
However, more than two hundred acres is definitely a very large estate.
