The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 653 - 653 Approval of Changing Person

Chapter 653

Zheng Yanbo naturally heard the tone of Li Jingyi, and his heart sank suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Secretary Li, I will do everything possible to appease County Magistrate Wei's family!" Zheng Yanbo hurriedly promised.
Li Jingyi, with a dark face, questioned, "Appease? If you appeased them, why would they come to our county office to make trouble?"
"Secretary Li, this matter is my negligence, it's my fault for not handling it well. I will find a way to make it right."
Zheng Yanbo quickly admitted his mistake.
"Alright, go and handle the matter properly, and conclude County Magistrate Wei's affairs as soon as possible."
Li Jingyi gave the order.
"Understood!" Zheng Yanbo responded and hurried out.
Elsewhere, Lin Hao learned that County Magistrate Wei's family went to the county office to make a scene. He knew that delaying Zheng Yanbo for a few minutes had the desired effect.
Is this why subordinates are reluctant to offend their superiors?
Because they can crush you like an ant anytime, anywhere, annihilating you invisibly.
Zheng Yanbo felt somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Hao since if it weren't for Lin Hao asking him to select a secretary, he probably could have stopped County Magistrate Wei's family.
However, on the other hand, if Lin Hao adopted his suggestion, he would undoubtedly have planted his influence beside Lin Hao.
From this perspective, he felt that helping Lin Hao choose a secretary seemed more important.
Moreover, Li Jingyi would at most scold him a few times without taking any serious action against him.
But if he offended Lin Hao, he might lose his position as director, or even worse, be demoted.
Today, he gave some pressure to Lin Hao, and Lin Hao gave up Lu Xiaodan, obviously indicating that their relationship was just ordinary superior and subordinate, thus increasing the chance of his recommended candidate becoming the secretary.
Of course, in accordance with procedures, the choice of the county magistrate's secretary, such a small matter, the secretary certainly would not interfere.
What Lin Hao said about discussing with Secretary Li was just an excuse, merely giving himself a way out.
After all, the government office's work was still conducted under his guidance, and Lin Hao, the newly appointed acting county magistrate, would not openly offend him.
It's just a pity that he underestimated Lin Hao!
In the office, Lin Hao learned that someone went to the county office to make trouble, so naturally, he should also be concerned about Secretary Li.
"Secretary Li, I heard someone went to the county office to cause trouble. Are you alright?"
"County Magistrate Lin, I am fine, it's just... never mind, I won't talk about it..." Li Jingyi felt a bit upset.
"Secretary Li, feeling upset?" Lin Hao clearly was rubbing salt in the wound.
"County Magistrate Lin, what is your government office doing? County Magistrate Wei's family came to our county to make a scene. Do you think it's appropriate?" Li Jingyi vented her frustration at him.
"I also just heard about the situation with County Magistrate Wei's family. I am unsure what Director Zheng is doing. I have instructed him to do a good job of reception and appeasement. How come he didn't keep an eye on them?"
Lin Hao immediately followed up with her words, his tone also expressing dissatisfaction with Director Zheng.
Li Jingyi naturally immediately understood this point and said coldly, "County Magistrate Lin, your director's ability to handle matters is lacking!"
"Secretary Li, I also know his capability is lacking, and he was even promoted by Zhou Banghuai..." Lin Hao implied.
"Was he really promoted by Zhou Banghuai?" Li Jingyi's voice became cold.
Zhou Banghuai and others had been brought to justice, yet some of their cronies had not been dealt with. Clearly, she saw this as an opportunity.
"Of course, it's true!" Lin Hao replied.
"Since he's one of Zhou Banghuai's people, now that you've become the county magistrate, my opinion is to replace him to avoid future work being hampered."
Li Jingyi didn't hesitate to suggest getting rid of him.
"I agree with the change, it's just that this minor issue is..." Lin Hao hesitated to finish.
"Minor issue? Is besieging the county office a minor issue? If he hadn't failed to keep an eye on them, could County Magistrate Wei's family have besieged the county office?" Li Jingyi said coldly.
"You're right, how can besieging the county office be a minor issue?" Lin Hao replied in a righteous tone.
"How about this, I will bring it up in tomorrow's meeting..." Li Jingyi instructed.
"I know what to do." Lin Hao responded.
"By the way, Secretary Cao called and asked you to attend a meeting at the city committee this afternoon." Li Jingyi suddenly remembered this important matter.
It turns out Secretary Cao called and asked Lin Hao to attend a meeting in the city committee office at three in the afternoon. However, due to County Magistrate Wei's family causing trouble earlier, she almost forgot about it.
To be honest, her workload is very large now, and with such incidents occurring, it's no wonder she gets angry.
The main point is, she almost forgot what Secretary Cao entrusted her with. If Lin Hao missed the meeting, wouldn't that be her responsibility?
At the thought of these, Li Jingyi could hardly wait to demote Zheng Yanbo to the countryside.
Upon learning that Secretary Cao wanted to see him, Lin Hao immediately packed up to prepare for the city committee meeting, and he also went over all his work tasks.
This meeting at the city committee was essentially meant for Secretary Cao to meet him and give specific instructions.
Of course, the city committee also wanted to hear Lin Hao's opinions and see if he had any difficulties in his work, to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
When Lin Hao learned of this, he directly dialed Lu Xiaodan's number.
"Xiaolu, get ready. We are going to the city committee for a meeting this afternoon."
"I... am I going with you?" Lu Xiaodan was overjoyed.
"What? You don't want to go with me?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.
"Willing, willing..." Lu Xiaodan quickly answered.
"Then get ready. We'll leave around one after lunch." Lin Hao added.
"Alright!" Lu Xiaodan was ecstatic.
She knows that Lin Hao now wields great power in Wucheng County, and many people want to become his secretary. In various aspects, she does not have advantages.
Just moments ago, when she returned to the office, there were still several people discussing Lin Hao's choice for a secretary.
However, in the eyes of those old hands, young people like her have little chance, almost zero.
Just moments ago, she also witnessed how Director Zheng of the government office put pressure on Lin Hao and presented a roster of backup candidates for the secretary position.
When she was feeling quite down, Lin Hao called her, inviting her to join him for the city meeting.
This was certainly a clear message to her that Lin Hao had not forgotten about her or abandoned her, instantly warming her cold heart.
Lin Hao naturally knew she had overheard Zheng Yanbo point out her lack of experience, implying that she was not qualified to be his secretary.
A girl like her surely would not be able to withstand such criticism, prompting him to call her immediately to reassure her.
Speaking of this young beauty, it's not that Lin Hao doesn't like her, but he believes it is crucial not to blur the superior-subordinate relationship to avoid emotional entanglement.
Once personal feelings interfere with work matters, it can potentially lead to disastrous consequences.
