The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 652 - 652 Delaying Time

In Lin Hao's new office.
Zheng Yanbo brought up a list of secretary candidates and handed it to Lin Hao, noticing that Lu Xiaodan had already left.
"Among these people, whose capability is relatively strong?" Lin Hao casually flipped through the list and asked.
"County Magistrate Lin, all of these people are quite capable, especially Li Huixuan, who has been with our government office for three years and is particularly strong in her work..."
"And this Li Yili, a top student from a prestigious university, with very high emotional intelligence..."
Zheng Yanbo began to introduce them in great detail.
However, he didn't know that Lin Hao's purpose was not to promote them, but to find out who were his people.
As long as they were his guys, staying in the government office would surely lead to disunity and could even cause some trouble.
Since Lin Hao wanted to have control over the government office, these people were bound to be cleared out.
Now the problem is, if Lin Hao wanted to replace the director of the government office, he would need to have something on him, or catch him making a mistake, to have a chance.
Of course, there was another problem, which was who would replace Zheng Yanbo as the director of the government office.
This position was crucial to the magistrate and required a trustworthy person.
However, Lu Xiaodan's qualifications were definitely not sufficient, so he had to find another way.
At this moment, Zheng Yanbo's phone rang.
He was originally going to take the phone call outside, but Lin Hao stopped him.
"Just take it here. I still want to learn more about these people from you..."
"Please hold on!"
Zheng Yanbo walked aside and answered the phone.
"Director Zheng, something's wrong!" A voice anxiously came from the other side.
"What happened?" Zheng Yanbo's face darkened.
"County Magistrate Wei's relatives have started causing a scene, demanding an explanation from our government."
"What kind of explanation? The dead can't come back to life, what can we do?"
"They said County Magistrate Wei was in Secretary Li's car when the accident happened, and they insist we give an explanation and thoroughly investigate this matter..."
"Tell them that this matter is already under investigation by the Public Security Bureau, and once the real culprit behind it is found, we will give them an explanation..."
"No, they are causing a huge scene! They said they want to go to the County Committee Office to find Secretary Li..."
The call was suddenly disconnected, clearly, a commotion had already started on the other end.
Zheng Yanbo turned to Lin Hao, with a grim face, and said, "County Magistrate Lin, County Magistrate Wei's family members are making trouble. I'll go over and take a look."
"Making trouble? What kind of trouble? Wasn't everything fine yesterday?" Lin Hao frowned.
After all, he had personally visited County Magistrate Wei's wife and children, and gave them some financial compensation. Why has trouble started again?
"I've heard that County Magistrate Wei's family wants to go to the County Committee Office to have a talk with Secretary Li..."
"What? Going to see Secretary Li? You must be joking?" Lin Hao's face turned stern.
"Maybe they just want an outcome; I'll go and comfort them." Zheng Yanbo, anxious, was preparing to leave.
Lin Hao looked at the personnel information in his hand, stopped him, and said, "Director Zheng, I know you are eager to handle things, but this matter of candidates is also very important. Let me delay you for a few minutes, can you tell me about this Han Zhijia?"
"This Han Zhijia is the nephew of the Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he has a fairly good background, and he also has capabilities."
Zheng Yanbo had to continue explaining, though, in truth, he was feeling very anxious inside.
"And how about Hu Ying?" Lin Hao asked about another person.
Thus, Lin Hao repeatedly inquired about their situations, actually using these questions to intentionally delay, trapping Zheng Yanbo in a helpless position.
After delaying for about ten minutes, Lin Hao finally asked, "After all the selections, I can't make a decision. How about this, you tell me who is the most suitable?"
"I think Li Yili is quite good!"
Zheng Yanbo was very anxious to leave now, so he could only give his own thought.
"Alright, I see. You can go, just be careful not to let things get out of hand, or it will have a bad impact." Lin Hao advised with a smile.
Currently, the government office is handling County Magistrate Wei's funeral, and Zheng Yanbo is responsible for receiving County Magistrate Wei's family. If something goes wrong, he will certainly be held accountable.
Of course, Lin Hao didn't plan to dive into this mess, as County Magistrate Wei's family was not much of a threat to Li Jingyi.
Although Lin Hao only delayed him for less than ten minutes, it was exceedingly crucial.
On the other side, County Magistrate Wei's wife and children had already driven to the County Committee Office and barged in directly.
Several security guards learned these were County Magistrate Wei's family members and didn't dare show negligence; they took them directly to Li Jingyi's office.
Zheng Yanbo came out of Lin Hao's office and hurried to the hotel, hoping to intercept County Magistrate Wei's family, only to find it was too late.
By the time he rushed from the hotel to the County Committee Office, County Magistrate Wei's wife, son, and daughter had already met with Li Jingyi and started causing a scene in Secretary Li's office.
It was just a few minutes' time gap that made Zheng Yanbo miss intercepting County Magistrate Wei's family, leaving his work in a completely passive situation.
"Secretary Li, why did our old Wei get into an accident riding in your car? I heard your private car's brake system was tampered with; is it true? Is this accident a setup by you behind the scenes?"
County Magistrate Wei's wife, around fifty, accusingly questioned with anger.
Li Jingyi slightly frowned because she had already issued a gag order to not disclose this matter to the Wei Family, but unexpectedly, it was still not kept under wraps.
"Madam Wei, please don't get agitated, this matter is like this..."
Li Jingyi suppressed her anger internally, trying to remain calm, and began recounting what happened that day.
She was also kind-hearted, knowing County Magistrate Wei didn't have a car; she lent him hers, never expecting the car's braking system would be tampered with.
This matter was indeed someone targeting Li Jingyi from behind the scenes, and County Magistrate Wei was truly unlucky to become Secretary Li's scapegoat.
"This matter has been investigated by the Public Security Bureau already. It was found that the driver Zhao Peng from our County Committee Office's car pool sabotaged the brake system..."
Li Jingyi ed the latest investigation progress to County Magistrate Wei's family.
While County Magistrate Wei's family understood the entire process, although still upset, they had no leverage over Li Jingyi.
At this moment, Zheng Yanbo finally arrived with others, escorting the Wei Family out.
"Director Zheng, you stay!" Li Jingyi's voice was cold.
"Yes, Secretary Li." Zheng Yanbo suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Li Jingyi motioned for him to close the door, then began to speak: "Director Zheng, you were the one responsible for receiving County Magistrate Wei's family, weren't you?"
"Secretary Li, I didn't expect their emotions to be so agitated..." Zheng Yanbo quickly explained.
Li Jingyi raised her hand to stop his words, saying solemnly, "If I hadn't personally gone down to receive County Magistrate Wei's family today, who knows what kind of mess would have happened in the County Committee courtyard, your work was not adequate!"
