The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 665: Returning the Original Words

Since Lin Hao wants to transfer Cheng Jiayao to be the Government Office Director, the original director will naturally have to be reassigned to the countryside.

According to the organization department, Zheng Yanbo did not properly handle the ideological work regarding County Magistrate Wei's family and his abilities are limited, so they want to send Zheng Yanbo to a town for some training.

Although the disciplinary notice is still being compiled, this matter has already spread throughout the county government and the county committee office, and everyone is feeling sorry for Director Zheng.

Lin Hao had just hung up the phone when Zheng Yanbo burst into his office in a hurry.

"County Magistrate Lin..." Zheng Yanbo appeared very angry.

"Director Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Lin Hao frowned.

After all, he's now the county magistrate, and this guy didn't even knock before storming in as if he intended to confront him.

"What is happening? Why are you transferring me? Is there something I didn't do well?" Zheng Yanbo angrily questioned.

"Director Zheng, are you questioning me? I think you're out of your mind," Lin Hao said, his face slightly darkening as he coldly rebuked.

Zheng Yanbo's arrogant demeanor instantly halved, as he said bitterly, "County Magistrate Lin, how dare I question you, it's just that... I... I..."

"I what? You didn't appease County Magistrate Wei's family properly, which caused a very negative impact. Sending you to the countryside for training was a unanimous decision by the standing committee," Lin Hao coldly interrupted him, his eyes as cold as frost.

"What? A unanimous decision by the standing committee? But... not everything is my fault in this matter! Moreover..." Zheng Yanbo explained with a bitter face.

Lin Hao raised his hand to stop him and said coldly, "If you don't agree with this decision, you can go to the higher-ups or Secretary Li for reconsideration. Of course, you can also refuse to go to the countryside and choose to resign voluntarily."

"County Magistrate Lin, don't think I don't know that the Government Office is dictated by you. Surely you're the one who wants to transfer me, right?" Zheng Yanbo asked coldly.

Lin Hao could have firmly told him that this was indeed his directive; however, one must never be rigid within the system, not be emotional, and never escalate conflicts carelessly, lest matters get blown out of proportion.

To be frank, the purpose of Zheng Yanbo storming in like this was to escalate the conflict and fight for his last bit of interest.

"Why are you blaming me? You didn't appease County Magistrate Wei's family properly, which led them to besiege the county committee office, alarming Secretary Li. Is that my problem?"

Lin Hao laughed soundlessly, coldly counter-questioning, refusing to admit that he wanted to replace this disobedient guy.

"I indeed didn't handle this matter well, but isn't this too much for me to be reassigned? I've been the Government Office Director for so long; even if I haven't achieved much, I still put in a lot of effort, didn't I?"

Zheng Yanbo played the emotional card, hoping Lin Hao would spare him.

"I don't know if you've made contributions, but I think you should discuss this matter with the organization department. The transfer order came from them."

Lin Hao redirected the blame to the organization department.

Previously, when he asked Lin Hao to make Lu Xiaodan his secretary, he also asked him to approach the organization department; now Lin Hao returned the exact words, making his point clear.

"County Magistrate Lin, I admit that last time I didn't think it through and I think Lu Xiaodan is very suitable to be your secretary. I will report this to the organization department."

Only then did Zheng Yanbo realize the seriousness of the problem and wanted to make amends.

"You are no longer the director of our Government Office, so you don't need to concern yourself with this issue," Lin Hao said calmly.

"County Magistrate Lin, I've realized my mistake, can you give me one more chance?" Zheng Yanbo fully conceded.

Unfortunately, it was already too late, Lin Hao had firmly decided to replace him and wouldn't give him any chances.

"Zheng Yanbo, the decision made by the standing committee, I cannot change. Perhaps you can go and appeal to the other committee members," Lin Hao said, appearing kindly.

However, his sly expression was like that of a cunning wolf with eyes gleaming with a piercing cold light.

In truth, whether or not County Magistrate Wei's family besieged the county committee office, Lin Hao would have eventually replaced him; it just happened a bit sooner than expected.

Zheng Yanbo still didn't have this awareness and even dared to challenge Lin Hao, truly digging his own grave.

If he were smart, he would have discussed it with Lin Hao, voluntarily stepped aside, and let Lin Hao find a good way out for him.

Unfortunately, he had been in this position for so long that he thought the leadership couldn't do without him, yet he didn't realize that no one is irreplaceable within the system.

Zheng Yanbo left with his head hanging low, returned to the office to pack his things, and then slunk out of the Government Office.

Among those transferred with him were the two guys who were still swaggering and bullying Lu Xiaodan yesterday.

Although Lu Xiaodan is still a liaison officer, after witnessing the two who bullied her getting transferred overnight, others naturally understood the reason behind it and treated her with utmost respect, not daring to offend her again.

…

Noon.

Lin Hao drove away from the Government Office and soon arrived at the Ju Yuan Mei Private Kitchen.

Cheng Jiayao, thrilled at the thought of being transferred to the Government Office as Director, arrived early and ordered a few exquisite dishes.

Following the suite number she sent, Lin Hao pushed open the door and immediately saw the well-dressed Cheng Jiayao.

The stunning beauty before him wore a blouse accompanied by a tight-fitting pencil skirt, her waist tightly cinched, and the softness of her chest still impressively grand.

Cheng Jiayao, looking at the handsome and jubilant man dressed in a well-fitted suit, stepped forward to take off and hang up his coat as if she were an obedient little wife.

The two exchanged few words, as Lin Hao swiftly extended a hand, wrapped her slender waist, and kissed her.

"Stop it, let's eat first!" the beauty said, pulling him to sit down.

Lin Hao knew as well that it wasn't the time for affection and sat down to start eating.

However, since he had to work in the afternoon, he drank beverages instead of alcohol.

Cheng Jiayao raised her drink in a toast to him and said, "County Magistrate Lin, thank you!"

"I didn't consult you before deciding to transfer you, nor did I ask for your thoughts. Was that presumptuous?"

Lin Hao clinked glasses with her, smiling as he inquired.

"Be honest, do you want me to accompany you every day?" Cheng Jiayao asked back with a smile.

"Of course, I'd love for you to accompany me every day," Lin Hao grinned mischievously.

Recalling the several times they had already been intimate, Cheng Jiayao blushed and smiled, "Since County Magistrate Lin wants to transfer me, how dare I refuse?"

"If you're willing to go, then go. I'm not forcing you, and besides, it's just a temporary transfer. If you're not happy, you can return anytime," Lin Hao stated earnestly.

"Being able to work by your side makes me so happy I can't even consider going back," Cheng Jiayao smiled prudently.
