Chapter 714: Became the Prey
After Director Kang left with Li Xue and the others, Lin Hao returned to find the two directors and accompanied them to continue the inspection and research.
"Director Zhang, I'm really sorry. I had to use the bathroom," Lin Hao approached and apologized in a low voice.
Zhang Biqin's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Hao return, and her mood for the inspection seemed to improve significantly.
Honestly, men like young and pretty girls, and mature women like young and handsome boys.
In this regard, the preferences of men and women are surprisingly consistent.
"County Magistrate Lin, you took so long in the bathroom; could it be kidney weakness?" Zhang Biqin teasingly said in a low voice as she saw Director Wan hadn't caught up yet.
Lin Hao never expected this beautiful director to joke so boldly with him. He was momentarily stunned and glanced back at Director Wan and the others who were following.
"Director Zhang, my health is excellent!" Lin Hao replied earnestly.
"Really that great?" Zhang Biqin smiled, full of allure.
Lin Hao's scalp tingled instantly. After all, many male superiors like to flirt with female subordinates, and many female superiors enjoy flirting with male subordinates. Could he possibly become the prey of this beautiful director?
Although this beautiful director indeed had some charm and assets comparable to Peng Yunyan, Lin Hao still didn't want to get involved with this widowed director.
After all, widows whose husbands have died might be considered jinxes, and Lin Hao still wanted to live a few more years.
"I'm so young; of course, my health is excellent!" Lin Hao said with a forced smile.
"Hehehe..." Zhang Biqin chuckled.
This young magistrate, handsome and charming, added a bit of humor and fun to the inspection, making Director Zhang very satisfied.
The incident earlier quickly reached the ears of Liao Guiping, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Upon learning that Guo Yongye attempted to assault County Magistrate Lin's adopted sister, Dean Liao was scared out of his wits and wanted to find a chance to talk with Lin Hao and hear his opinion.
Unfortunately, Lin Hao was always with Director Zhang, so he could only be anxious on the sidelines, not daring to speak to the two directors.
Not until the inspection was over and Lin Hao left with the two directors did Dean Liao hurriedly return to call the police station.
When he found out that Guo Yongye had confessed to everything, confirming his attempted assault charge, he immediately convened a hospital leadership meeting and quickly decided on dismissing Guo Yongye.
As for the victim Xue Meiyun, she deserved compensation and was transferred to the more relaxed hospital office, primarily responsible for organizing documents and preparing some meeting materials.
After accompanying Director Zhang on the inspection, the health department's Director Wan arranged a lavish banquet at a hotel to entertain the two leaders.
As the evening's host, Director Wan first stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Honorable Director Zhang and County Magistrate Lin, leaders from the city bureau, thank you for coming to Wucheng County to inspect the work. On behalf of all the employees of the county health bureau, I offer you a toast!"
"Director Wan, you're too kind!" Lin Hao and Director Zhang both raised their glasses and drank it all in one go.
"Director Zhang, County Magistrate Lin, please enjoy the dishes!" Director Wan invited.
Lin Hao and Zhang Biqin wasted no time and began to eat heartily.
After everyone had some dishes, Director Wan looked at Zhang Biqin and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, the second toast is yours to make."
"Sure!"
Zhang Biqin slowly stood up, raised her glass, smiled at Lin Hao, and then scanned the room, loudly saying, "County Magistrate Lin, Director Wan, first of all, thank you for the warm hospitality. After our inspection and research, the health work in Wucheng County is very well done! Today's research work was very successful; I will make a report to the city committee and government truthfully..."
"Finally, I have a few expectations, such as health work and disease control and prevention, which are arduous tasks related to people's safety, so great care and rigorous sciences must be applied..."
"On behalf of all my colleagues in the city bureau, I offer you a toast!"
After the beautiful director finished speaking, she clinked glasses with Lin Hao and then joined everyone in drinking.
The last toast was naturally made by Lin Hao, who didn't even eat and directly filled his glass.
"Director Zhang, Director Wan, colleagues, today's inspection and research work left me very satisfied. Regarding Director Zhang's remarks, I also have a few points to add. First, I hope that all my colleagues on the health front prioritize people's safety..."
"Secondly, I hope our team maintains an excellent fighting style, deepens medical reform policies, strengthens infectious disease prevention, enhances hospital management, and prevents any bad eggs from spoiling the pot..."
"Thirdly, I expect the health bureau to increase efforts in food safety hygiene, playing a supervisory role to ensure public health and safety..."
"Lastly, I thank Director Zhang for her guidance on our county's health work and appreciate all my colleagues' valuable opinions..."
"Come, let's drink!"
After finishing his speech, Lin Hao joined everyone in clinking glasses and drank all in one go.
After three rounds of drinks, Lin Hao ate a little and then initiated another toast, starting naturally with the enchanting Director Zhang.
"Director Zhang, welcome to Wucheng County for inspection and guidance. I toast you again!" Lin Hao raised his glass.
Zhang Biqin smiled at him, raised her glass, and said, "County Magistrate Lin, with your enthusiasm, be sure to contact me when you visit the city next time. I'll treat you to a drink."
"Director Zhang, that's necessary!" Lin Hao responded readily.
"To tell you the truth, County Magistrate Lin, I have a few bottles of aged wine at home. We'll drink until we drop!" Zhang Biqin chuckled and clinked glasses with him.
"To your home?" Lin Hao suddenly felt a headache.
"What? Afraid I'll eat you alive?" Zhang Biqin laughed with her mouth closed.
"Not exactly, just..." Lin Hao looked troubled.
"Alright, it's settled then. Cheers!" Zhang Biqin clinked his glass again and downed her drink.
Lin Hao watched as she tilted her chin, exposing her fair neck, and the two soft mounds appeared larger as she raised her arm, worried that the buttons of her blazer might pop off.
He always thought of himself as the hunter but now found himself as the prey.
Undoubtedly, this beautiful director had her eyes on him and subtly hinted at drinking at her house.
She currently had no husband, and if he went and had a drink, with the means of this beautiful director, Lin Hao might just end up being devoured by her.
Although Lin Hao had long seen through these things, when he found himself becoming the prey, he couldn't shake the discomfort or acceptance in his heart.
However, he could not afford to offend this beautiful director now, so Lin Hao had to tactfully and perfunctorily engage with her.
