The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 861 861: Mei Yun Is Sick

According to the principle of gift-giving in officialdom, the leader must refuse three times before you can be sure of their true intentions.

Therefore, Liang Caiwei repeatedly expressed her gratitude, testing whether Lin Hao was truly declining or just playing hard to get.

However, Lin Hao now didn't care about money at all, and naturally wouldn't bother with any kickbacks.

"President Liang, I am a party cadre and the leader of Wucheng County. It is my duty to help the enterprises in our county, so you don't need to worry too much about it. Let me reiterate, there's really no need for any special gratitude," Lin Hao said righteously.

"County Magistrate Lin is dedicated to helping the enterprises in our county and truly deserves to be our leader. I, Liang, am genuinely convinced," Liang Guozheng saluted with respect.

"Chairman, let's toast County Magistrate Lin again, to express our gratitude!" Lu Yahu raised his glass to ease the tension.

"Alright, let's have another toast!" Liang Guozheng also raised his glass.

"If you keep toasting me like this, I'll be drunk soon." Lin Hao smiled and raised his glass to meet theirs.

On the other side, Lu Xiaodan leaned closer to Liang Caiwei and whispered, "President Liang, County Magistrate Lin never takes benefits and will never be corrupt or accept bribes!"

"Not the slightest bit of greed?" Liang Caiwei was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, many people offer gifts and money, but he doesn't take a single cent or accept any gifts," Lu Xiaodan explained in a low voice.

In fact, many tried to offer gifts through her, his secretary, but she refused them all.

Lin Hao had warned her long ago, no matter how much money or what kind of gift, they should never be accepted.

If she ever accepted anything, she would have to leave the job herself.

Knowing this, Liang Caiwei was shocked because such honest officials are indeed very rare these days.

No doubt, with Lin Hao's way of working and reputation, he would eventually be promoted to the municipal level.

Thinking of this, if she wanted to make the glass factory bigger and stronger, she would have to rely on this honest County Magistrate Lin in front of her.

With this in mind, Liang Caiwei proactively picked up her glass and toasted Lin Hao, with a different look in her eyes.

"County Magistrate Lin, I formally invite you to visit our glass factory for an inspection and guidance," Liang Caiwei invited.

"Well..." Lin Hao hesitated slightly, with a troubled expression, "Thank you for your invitation, President Liang. It's just that I'm really busy right now. Once I'm done with my current work, I'll definitely visit the glass factory."

"Then we'll look forward to your esteemed presence," Liang Caiwei smiled.

"President Liang, you're too kind." Lin Hao clinked glasses with her again.

Since Lin Hao would help without accepting money, the beautiful president naturally toasted him several more times to express her gratitude.

As for inviting Lin Hao over for inspection and guidance, it was a pretense to having him endorse the glass factory.

After all, future cooperative enterprises will certainly visit the glass factory for inspection, and if they can see a photo of County Magistrate Lin, everything will be different.

At certain critical points, others might make some concessions out of respect for County Magistrate Lin.

Lin Hao saw through the beauty's intentions at a glance and didn't want to get too involved, to avoid getting himself entangled and incurring a loss.

Of course, he couldn't directly refuse Liang Caiwei on the surface, so he just made excuses to postpone it.

After the meal, both guests and host were happy, and Lin Hao was slightly tipsy.

To get closer to County Magistrate Lin, Liang Caiwei immediately suggested moving the party to Song City to sing, but Lin Hao firmly declined.

Because when Lin Hao took out his phone, he saw several new messages and missed calls, one of which made him tense up.

It turned out Li Xue had sent a message, saying that Xue Meiyun was sick and receiving an IV at the hospital.

Lin Hao knew that Xue Meiyun was not familiar with the area, and only had her friend Li Xue. Now that she was ill, he felt obliged to visit her.

...

The car stopped at the hospital entrance.

Lin Hao hurriedly went towards the inpatient building with a fruit basket, quickly reaching the ward.

On the hospital bed, Xue Meiyun looked a bit pale, her lips somewhat dry, and she was receiving an IV.

"Sister-in-law, how is Mei Yun?" Lin Hao strode in and immediately saw Li Xue.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Xue Meiyun asked in surprise.

Li Xue, keeping watch by her bedside, turned to Lin Hao and smiled, "Mei Yun, I asked him to come."

"Sister-in-law, Lin has so much work, how can you bring him here?" Xue Meiyun complained.

"Weren't you just missing your Lin a little while ago? I thought you wanted to see him, so I called him over," Li Xue said with a smile.

The charming sister-in-law was wearing a black dress, like a black rose in the midnight darkness, silently alluring.

After not seeing her for a few days, her figure seemed even more voluptuous, with two snowy peaks on her chest captivatingly prominent, as if a second bloom.

Hearing Li Xue tease her, Xue Meiyun blushed shyly, "No, I didn't..."

"Mei Yun, what did the doctor say?" Lin Hao interrupted, concerned.

"It's nothing serious, just a slight cold," Xue Meiyun replied blushing.

"What slight cold? It's clearly a severe cold, or you wouldn't be on an IV," Li Xue retorted.

Lin Hao once again asked with concern, "Mei Yun, how are you feeling now?"

"Lin, I'm fine, just a cold, feeling much better after the infusion," Xue Meiyun replied timidly.

"Alright, you must be hungry, right? I'll wash some fruit for you," Lin Hao said as he left with the fruit basket.

Perhaps because Xue Meiyun worked in the hospital's office, she enjoyed a single-person cadre ward.

This type of ward had a companion bed outside and could cook and boil water, much better than a shared triple room.

"Sister-in-law, Lin is so busy, won't this delay his work?" Xue Meiyun asked weakly.

"It's after work hours now, didn't you smell the alcohol on him? This guy was out enjoying food and drinks, so busy with what?" Li Xue smiled knowingly.

"Actually, after the infusion, I feel a lot better," Xue Meiyun admitted, feeling much more energetic now.

"No worries, he'll keep you company tonight," Li Xue leaned over and whispered mischievously.

"No, I don't want that. It's just us two, I don't want it," Xue Meiyun, aware of the sister-in-law's teasing intent, blushed deeply.

"Mei Yun, just confess, did you two..." Li Xue hinted knowingly.

She used to be a nurse at the hospital, understanding well the difficulty of getting transferred to an office position.

For Xue Meiyun to be transferred to the office, Lin Hao must have significantly helped her.

Lin Hao, this little rascal, wouldn't let a chance slip, she thought. He must have gotten his way with the young lady before helping her with the job transfer.

Li Xue herself was also overpowered by this brat before transferring to the health bureau.

Thus, she concluded that something untoward must have happened between the two.

"No, how could it be?" Xue Meiyun hurriedly denied, but was too embarrassed to show her face.

"Hehehe... still denying?" Li Xue realized she hit the mark.
