The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 670 - 670: Gathering Together

Guo Yali was not lacking in intelligence, but her information was quite limited. She had no idea that Zhao Peng had already been taken under police control. She was still thinking about checking the messages Zhao Peng left for her.
She never expected that, despite her makeup disguise, using a cybercafe's IP address, and even subnet masking, she would still be tracked down by Monkey.
Of course, this was also because Ling Feng and his team had been following her, allowing them to take photos of her logging into the email at the first moment.
After Lin Hao forwarded the evidence to Zhou Bin, Zhou Bin immediately returned to Wuning City to arrest Zhang Yonghong's wife, Guo Yali.
This was yet another chance to earn credit, and Lin Hao gave it to Zhou Bin on a silver platter, making Zhou Bin extremely grateful.
...
Hilton Grand Hotel.
Lin Hao parked the car and walked directly upstairs, quickly arriving at the luxurious large suite.
In the suite, the county party secretary of Wucheng County, the dedicated deputy party secretary, the discipline inspection commission secretary, the head of the organization department, the political and legal affairs commission secretary, the head of the publicity department, and the head of the armed forces department, among other standing committee members, were all present.
The only one not present was the People's Congress director Su Dingfang, Lin Hao's father-in-law, who was currently recuperating outside.
However, Su Muchen, as deputy county magistrate, filled Jiang Yunchao's former position and held a seat in the standing committee.
This sister-in-law, seeing Lin Hao in the limelight now, secretly felt glad that their investment in him was spot on. She even hoped Lin Hao would elevate her to the position of executive deputy county magistrate.
Yet, she obviously understood that her credentials were a bit lacking. Unless she had major achievements or made some political achievements, it wouldn't be easy for Lin Hao to promote her.
"Secretary Li, fellow members, I apologize if I'm late?" Lin Hao scanned the crowd and greeted them with a smile.
"Not late at all, just on time," Li Jingyi laughed heartily.
"Yes, we just arrived too," echoed political and legal affairs commission secretary Zhang Boqing with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries with these standing committee members, Lin Hao then sat beside Li Jingyi.
Soon, fine wine and delicacies were brought to the table, marking the beginning of tonight's banquet.
As the county party secretary and the highest-ranking official at the table, Li Jingyi naturally proposed the first toast.
"County Magistrate Lin, fellow members, tonight we gather to celebrate Lin's appointment as the acting county magistrate of Wucheng County. I also hope that all the standing committee members will support his work, achieve greater accomplishments under his leadership..."
"Finally, I wish County Magistrate Lin a step-up in his career, further promotions, and wish all committee members smooth work, continued efforts, orderly advancement of all county work, and complete the tasks assigned by the city party committee and city government..."
After the charming secretary's speech, everyone stood up to clink glasses and drank it all in one go.
"The second toast will be proposed by our County Magistrate Lin," Li Jingyi put down her glass and looked at Lin Hao.
Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Lin Hao smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Secretary Li, fellow members, I'm very happy that we're all gathered together today. First, I must thank the organization for their nurturing, thank Secretary Li for her appreciation, and thank everyone for their support in my work!"
"Secondly, having just taken over as acting county magistrate, my work experience is insufficient, and I need the guidance of all the committee members. I promise to humbly accept all feedback and strive to perfect all tasks..."
"Thirdly, our Wucheng County is now facing an opportunity for economic development, and I hope everyone will focus on the economy, rally around Secretary Li, and advance the county's economic work..."
"As long as we achieve the economic development goals assigned by the city party committee and city government, I'm confident we'll receive a gratifying bonus at year-end evaluation..."
"Now, let's drink to this, and strive towards our common goal! Cheers… cheers…"
After his speech, everyone raised their glasses with high spirits, as if invigorated, eager to move forward.
There's no denying that no matter how encouraging words may be, nothing incites work enthusiasm more than a substantial bonus.
"Everyone, have some food! Help yourselves," Lin Hao warmly invited.
After two rounds of drinking, everyone started eating heartily.
Once everyone had some food, Li Jingyi turned to the dedicated deputy secretary, Peng Yiru, and said, "How about letting Secretary Peng propose the third toast?"
She had transferred over with County Magistrate Wei and was mainly responsible for the party committee work, serving as Li Jingyi's deputy.
Among the attendees, she ranked third in leadership, so it was reasonable for Li Jingyi to ask her to propose a toast.
"Secretary Li, I am not very good with words, and if you ask me to propose a toast, I really don't know what to say," Peng Yiru laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Secretary Peng, ever since you took over the party committee work, I've had it much easier. Just say a few words today on such a happy occasion," Li Jingyi insisted.
Peng Yiru's smile faded. After a pause, she turned to Lin Hao and said, "County Magistrate Lin, although I haven't been here long, your work ability is evident, and you're a talent in economic affairs. To be honest, the economic conditions of counties are generally poor right now, with many having trouble paying salaries. Yet, Wucheng County made retroactive bonus payments for last year and is lively engaged in economic development. I'm genuinely happy."
"When I was transferred over, I had my reservations, but seeing that Secretary Li is exceptional in recognizing and employing talent, and County Magistrate Lin is resolute in economic matters, with all standing committee members unconditionally supportive, I have a newfound respect for this united collective and am full of confidence in our county's economic development. I suggest we collectively toast to Secretary Li and County Magistrate Lin!"
After Secretary Peng Yiru's speech, everyone clinked glasses with Li Jingyi and County Magistrate Lin, then sat down again.
"Please, help yourselves," Li Jingyi encouraged.
After three toasts, everyone indulged in the fine food and started rounds of one-on-one toasting.
As the main character of the evening, Lin Hao was naturally the center of attention, with everyone toasting him in turn. He couldn't refuse, and inevitably drank quite a bit.
By the end of the meal, Lin Hao, despite his alcohol tolerance, felt a bit tipsy, and as the banquet concluded, everyone started to leave.
Just then, Lin Hao received a call from Zhou Bin, informing him that they had apprehended Zhang Yonghong's wife, Guo Yali, and were conducting an overnight interrogation.
Having caught the real culprit, Lin Hao decided to the details to Li Jingyi, which would also put her at ease.
"Secretary Li, do you have a moment?" Lin Hao asked quickly as he saw Li Jingyi about to leave.
"Of course," Li Jingyi replied with a smile.
"I would like to something to you. Shall we sit in the next room?" Lin Hao gestured toward the adjacent room.
"Sure," Li Jingyi agreed readily.
