The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 916: Vainglorious Pursuit of Grand Achievements

Li Jingyi saw the kid admit his mistake, and her expression softened slightly. She then turned to Lin Hao.

It was obvious that Lin Hao needed to speak on this matter for there to be any room for maneuver.

"Lin Hao, what do you say?" Li Jingyi asked.

Lin Hao's face was dark, and instead of responding, he asked, "Secretary Li, what is the City Government's stance on this issue?"

"Secretary Cao and Mayor Ma feel that County Magistrate He is incapable, so you should take charge of the two projects. As for County Magistrate He, deal with him as someone who hasn't completed his leadership-assigned tasks…"

Li Jingyi conveyed the intentions of the two prominent figures.

However, the punishment for not completing leadership-assigned tasks could vary greatly and wasn't easy to control.

A lighter punishment would involve a cautionary conversation and verbal criticism.

A heavier punishment would involve a warning within the party, a severe warning, and a comprehensive review.

Once there's a party penalty, with a record in the organizational department, there's no chance of climbing higher.

"Then let's give Comrade He Ligang a severe warning within the party. What do you all think?" Lin Hao revealed his vicious intentions.

"What? A party penalty? Lin Hao, you're really pushing it to the limit!" He Ligang immediately reacted harshly.

Lin Hao chuckled coldly. "Hehehe... I'm merely expressing my opinion. County Magistrate He, feel free to express any objections. If you don't want to accept a penalty, you could continue to push forward the two projects. You might succeed, who knows?"

He Ligang felt overwhelmed at the prospect of continuing the project, his expression changing repeatedly.

Li Jingyi hurriedly interjected, "How about this? We're a group working together collectively. Let's vote. Those who agree to give Comrade He Ligang a party penalty, please raise your hand."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Hao raised his hand without hesitation, followed by several other committee members.

He Ligang watched as everyone raised their hands unanimously, feeling as if his heart was sinking into the Mariana Trench.

"Since everyone agrees to give Comrade He Ligang a party penalty, it's decided then." Li Jingyi glanced around and announced loudly.

"Secretary Li, I..." He Ligang still wanted to struggle.

Li Jingyi immediately raised her hand to interrupt him, saying, "From today, Lin Hao will continue to be fully responsible for advancing the new urban development and the new energy vehicle project. All departments must fully cooperate."

"Secretary Li, the two projects were originally under my purview and are my duties. I will work hard to quickly resolve the land demolition compensation funding issues." Lin Hao immediately expressed his position.

"Hmm..."

Li Jingyi nodded slightly, then turned to He Ligang, warning, "Comrade He Ligang, you should focus on your duties, be grounded, and avoid being overly ambitious, understand?"

"Yes, Secretary Li," He Ligang replied with a bitter expression.

"As for your penalty, I will report it to Secretary Cao and the City Government Council. Hopefully, you will take this as a lesson!"

Li Jingyi finished, looked around briefly, and announced loudly, "Meeting adjourned!"

Everyone left the conference room, leaving only He Ligang sitting there in a stupor, feeling completely defeated.

Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the bait!

Hoisted by his own petard!

This is the consequence of his overreaching.

"Lin Hao, I swear I'll take you down!"

An icy killing intent flashed in He Ligang's eyes.

However, even he couldn't resolve the thirty million funding issue, and he didn't believe Lin Hao could either.

After all, even shifting to getting a loan from the bank for the government requires time. The approval process is definitely lengthy.

However, the land auction time is approaching, and securing a loan before the auction seems almost impossible.

...

Lin Hao followed Li Jingyi into the office, sitting heavily on the sofa.

"You really are shrewd, digging a hole for him. Now I have to report to Secretary Cao." Li Jingyi couldn't help but complain.

"How can you blame me? This was the first time he tried to seize economic power. That kid isn't trustworthy; he just needed a little lesson." Lin Hao felt he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I'm not blaming you, just warning you not to escalate conflicts too much. After all, his uncle is the Provincial Forestry and Grass Bureau Director." Li Jingyi paced over, poured him a glass of water, and reminded him with a smile.

"Rest assured, he won't be able to stir up much trouble. If he's smart, he'd best not provoke me, or else the consequences would be severe." Lin Hao was not intimidated at all, dismissing him entirely.

"With the progression of the two projects, this pie keeps growing larger. Many are keeping their eyes on us in Wucheng County." Li Jingyi sat down beside him on a single-seater sofa.

"Are you saying others want to swoop in and take credit?" Lin Hao frowned slightly.

"Yesterday, when speaking with Secretary Cao over the phone, he hinted that some influential families have set their sights on these two projects. It's uncertain when they might act." Li Jingyi revealed an important piece of information.

Lin Hao furrowed his brow lightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's Secretary Cao's stance?"

"He said he can still protect you and me for now, but if the higher-ups really want to move against us, he probably won't be able to hold the line." Li Jingyi didn't hold back.

"In that case, we need to plan ahead," Lin Hao had already formulated his strategy.

Li Jingyi nodded slightly, "Indeed, once these two projects take off, Wucheng County could potentially reach a trillion-level economic scale. By then, many would certainly vie for credit."

"Don't be too pessimistic. With our planning ahead, if someone tries to take credit, we'll have the power to fight back." Lin Hao smiled and comforted.

"Anyway, both projects are your achievements, and you're fully responsible for them. I believe you can control them." Li Jingyi had complete confidence in him.

Lin Hao quickly thought of several plans, realizing he indeed needed a strategy in place to avoid being outmaneuvered.

After all, within the system, there were many who would parachute in and take credit. With these two projects being so significant, others would certainly be envious.

Seeing him not speak further, Li Jingyi shifted the topic, asking with a bitter expression, "Now the issue is how to solve the funding shortfall for land demolition compensation. Do you have any ideas?"

"Considering He Ligang's reaction at the bank, getting money from the bank isn't easy. Even if it's available, the procedures would be complicated. However…"

Lin Hao's eyes twinkled momentarily. He paused, then smiled and said, "I can borrow money from others."

"Borrow money from others?"

Li Jingyi frowned slightly and asked, "But who would lend you such a significant amount?"

"Sis, didn't I contact two real estate developers in Wuning City? I've already discussed borrowing money with them." Lin Hao explained with a smile. "My intention is to borrow money from the real estate bosses, and after they buy land, it can be converted into a land payment, solving our funding problem this way."
