The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 725: Forge Ahead

The restaurant of the Li Garden Hotel has been arranged into a venue that can accommodate over a thousand people.

The Wucheng County High-Quality Trade Fair and the First New Energy Battery Conference officially commenced.

At the meeting, Vice Governor Xu of Yunhai Province announced the opening and delivered a speech.

Secretary Cao of Wuning City and Secretary Li of Wucheng County also delivered speeches, respectively.

Next were speeches from Liao Jiarong, President Liao of the Red Era Group, as well as experts and professors from the new energy battery industry and representative local entrepreneurs.

As the largest sponsor of this New Energy Battery Conference, President Liao delivered a research report titled "New Energy Batteries Empower Future Economic Development" and also introduced the substantial R&D investment and future five-year development plan of the Red Era Group in the new energy battery project.

Su Muyu, as a representative local entrepreneur, delivered a speech titled "Rooted in Wucheng, Looking to the Future," which was a gesture of Lin Hao giving her face.

Su Dingzhang watched his daughter's performance from below the stage with mixed emotions, having to temporarily hand the group over to her, otherwise, the new city district construction project might end up with nothing for Huamao Group.

Lin Hao, as the County Magistrate of Wucheng County, made the final appearance with a keynote report titled "Exploration of County Economic Development Model," deeply elaborating on the model of county economic development, development ideas, and innovative thoughts.

After listening to his report, Governor Xu couldn't help but look at this young man with renewed respect. After all, this report, "Exploration of County Economic Development Model," could be circulated internally for study by various districts and counties in the entire province.

After the meeting, the Wucheng County Party Committee and County Government arranged a sumptuous banquet for the guests and distinguished attendees of the conference.

Governor Xu excused himself, saying he had to return to the province, leaving Chairman Ai and others behind.

It figures that someone of Governor Xu's status would not lower himself to dine with Lin Hao and others unless absolutely necessary.

As someone in a higher position, Governor Xu certainly needed to maintain sufficient distance from these underlings, even if he genuinely admired Lin Hao.

"County Magistrate Lin, your 'Exploration of County Economic Development Model' today was excellent, I think it can be reported to the municipal committee, so it can be included in the internal reference for learning by other districts and counties." Governor Xu looked at Lin Hao.

"Governor Xu, I think my level is limited..." Lin Hao said modestly, with a wry smile.

Seeing his modesty, Secretary Cao quickly interjected, "Since Governor Xu said it's viable, then it definitely is, County Magistrate Lin, please tidy it up and report it to the municipal committee when the time comes."

"Then I'll revise and polish it," Lin Hao agreed with a forced smile.

Secretary Cao looked at Governor Xu and praised, "Governor Xu, Lin Hao is a senior economist, he certainly has unique insights in economic development, I'll also ponder over his county economic development model."

"Lin Hao, if you are a senior economist, you could expand on today's topic, and I can recommend your article to higher-ups then," Governor Xu encouraged with a smile.

"Governor Xu, I will do my best!" Lin Hao bowed slightly.

"Alright then, I'll take my leave now." Governor Xu bid farewell to everyone and left in his car.

Seeing Governor Xu depart, Secretary Cao and Lin Hao felt relieved, as the pressure of being around him was immense.

Being in such a high position for a long time creates a natural pressure on them, making them feel constrained.

After Governor Xu left, Secretary Cao also took the chance to leave. Lin Hao didn't try to keep him, but just gave him a look to await good news.

After all, with Governor Xu inviting the boss of Aiyadi New Energy Automobile Group, if Lin Hao failed to seize the opportunity to negotiate with Chairman Ai, he would miss a great chance for economic development.

Once Secretary Cao departed, Lin Hao and Li Jingyi took Chairman Ai and his entourage back to the luxury suite to dine and talk, aiming to understand their position.

Chairman Ai's entourage consisted of six people, accompanied by three executives: Liao Jiarong from Red Era Group, Su Muyu from Huamao Group, and Kang Shuran from Kanghui Technology Group.

Representing the government were only Li Jingyi and Lin Hao, in addition to Cheng Jiayao from the government office, who is still the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau but seconded to the government office.

For such a large investment attraction project, how could the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau not show up?

Once everyone sat down, the fine wine and dishes were served.

Li Jingyi was the first to stand up and loudly opened the proceedings, "Respected Chairman Ai and distinguished guests of the Aiyadi Group, on behalf of the Wucheng County Party Committee and County Government, I extend our most sincere welcome to your arrival..."

Clap, clap, clap...

Applause thundered, and everyone clapped, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Respected President Liao, President Su, President Kang, the three beautiful executives, I wish you eternal youth, becoming younger and more beautiful, and your careers flourishing. At the same time, on behalf of the County Party Committee and County Government, I thank you for your contributions to Wucheng County's economic development and hope you continue progressing with determination to achieve even greater success!"

As soon as Li Jingyi's words fell, applause rose again.

"Chairman Ai, President Liao, President Su, President Kang, esteemed guests, I toast to you on behalf of the County Party Committee and County Government!"

Li Jingyi raised her glass and smiled as she toasted everyone.

With the atmosphere reaching this height, everyone clinked glasses and downed their drinks in one go.

After the first drink, Lin Hao quickly called everyone to eat and turned the freshly served fish towards Chairman Ai.

Everyone knew that fish should be eaten while hot; the taste deteriorates when it cools.

Even though it was just a small turntable, it demonstrated Lin Hao's high emotional intelligence, which immediately earned Chairman Ai's favor.

Chairman Ai loves eating fish, and wherever he goes, he first tastes the local fish. It can be said this small gesture from Lin Hao had already touched the Chairman.

Of course, these were messages sent to him by Governor Xu, along with some taboos he needed to be mindful of.

"I wonder if the Chairman likes eating fish? This is our famous local Qingbo fish!" Lin Hao actively introduced.

"Speaking of fish, it's my favorite, so I won't be polite!" Chairman Ai said with a smile as he picked up his chopsticks.

Lin Hao silently watched the Chairman, only exhaling in relief when he saw the Chairman's face light up with a happy and pleased smile after tasting the fish.

"Hmm, the texture is delicate and tender, the color, aroma, and taste are perfect, truly an exquisite delicacy!" Chairman Ai nodded, praising.

"Since the Chairman likes it, please help yourself and treat it as if at home," Lin Hao said with a smile.

Chairman Ai wasn't reserved, indulging enthusiastically, proving to be indeed a fish-loving executive.

Seeing Lin Hao's maneuver with the table, Li Jingyi had not expected such a small act to win the Chairman's favor, filling her heart with joy.
