Last time, Wan Pinqiu helped Lin Hao arrange his sister-in-law Li Xue's job, transferring her to the office of the Health Bureau.
From this, it's clear that Lin Hao owes Director Wan a favor.
Therefore, personally going over this time to help him handle the city bureau's inspection not only repays the favor but also expresses the government's sincerity to the city bureau, preventing them from clinging to the issue.
"Because our hospital had a medical incident last time, the county party committee and county government are paying close attention. I will also personally accompany the city bureau's inspection of your work. I hope you do a good job and don't make any errors," Lin Hao said solemnly.
"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, I've already conducted a special check today. If County Magistrate Lin can accompany the higher-ups during their inspection, that would be even better," Wan Pinqiu was overjoyed.
"My presence won't make much difference, at most just help smooth things over, but many things still depend on you as the director. Please don't create any unnecessary problems for me," Lin Hao warned with a smile.
"No, no..." Wan Pinqiu quickly replied.
...
Early the next morning.
After arriving at the county government office, Lin Hao had Lu Xiaodan prepare a car to go to the Health Bureau.
When the car arrived at the entrance, Director Wan had already been waiting with his team for quite some time.
Among the crowd, there appeared a familiar silhouette—it was indeed his sister-in-law, Li Xue.
Thanks to the nourishment from Lin Hao on multiple occasions, his sister-in-law's complexion was rosy and tender, her skin fair and smooth as jade, radiating beauty beyond measure.
In a perfectly tailored floral dress, her figure was curvaceous and voluptuous, exuding an indescribable allure.
"County Magistrate Lin, welcome, welcome!"
Director Wan stepped forward with enthusiasm, grasping Lin Hao's hand warmly.
"Director Wan, when is Director Zhang arriving?"
The Director Zhang Lin Hao asked about was actually Zhang Biqin, the city health bureau director.
This health bureau director was previously the deputy dean of the city hospital before being transferred to the health bureau. She is also a widow who lost her husband.
From what Lin Hao could gather, ever since her husband's passing, this widow has thrown herself into her work with a strict attitude towards medical practices, treating her current job with meticulous diligence.
Therefore, truly satisfying this director is by no means an easy task.
"Soon, she's already off the highway, should be here in about ten minutes. Maybe you could sit in the conference room for a bit?"
Wan Pinqiu managed the timing precisely and didn't dare offend Lin Hao, suggesting he wait in the conference room.
"Since there's still some time, let's wait for Director Zhang here," Lin Hao was in no rush.
"Alright, then let's have a smoke," Director Wan swiftly took out a cigarette, handing it to Lin Hao and lighting it for him.
Lin Hao accepted without hesitation and lit the cigarette, then turned to Li Xue beside him, greeting, "Sister-in-law."
As soon as the word "sister-in-law" was uttered, all eyes instantly focused on Li Xue, with expressions of surprise emerging one by one.
At this moment, Li Xue seemed to stand in the center of a stage, surrounded by multicolored flashing lights, feeling an indescribable pride.
Now, Lin Hao was the acting county magistrate of Wucheng County, and Li Xue being his sister-in-law held considerable weight and prestige, needless to say.
Colleagues who previously had some issues with Li Xue were mostly dumbfounded hearing Lin Hao refer to her as sister-in-law.
"County Magistrate Lin..." Li Xue blushed as she stepped forward, feeling as though she glowed with golden light all over.
"Sister-in-law, how's work going here?" Lin Hao casually inquired.
"Work's been great here. Director Wan and colleagues have all been really supportive," Li Xue responded with a smile.
On hearing this, Lin Hao turned to Director Wan, smiling in gratitude, "Director Wan, thank you and your colleagues for looking after my sister-in-law."
"Haha... County Magistrate Lin is too kind!"
Director Wan laughed heartily, "Li Xue is indeed diligent and serious about her work, gets along well with colleagues—a very promising comrade with great potential."
"Does she really have potential?" Lin Hao grinned, meeting Director Wan's gaze.
"Definitely, Li Xue is so young, plenty of room for growth," Director Wan replied with a smile.
"I only know how to do simple tasks. Director Wan's praises make me embarrassed," Li Xue interjected, her cheeks flushing.
"Hahaha... Sister-in-law, keep it up. I believe in you!" Lin Hao laughed, encouraging her.
There was a fleeting look in his eyes that only Li Xue could understand: work hard with me, and your potential will grow even more.
How could Li Xue fail to grasp the desire in his eyes, blushing with bashful shyness, her beautiful eyes twinkling with brilliance.
Today, Lin Hao truly made her proud, giving her a sense of immense prestige and weightlessness under her feet.
At this moment, two government vehicles drove into the Health Bureau's courtyard, stopping in front of Lin Hao and Director Wan.
The city's health bureau director, Director Zhang, emerged from the car, turning out to be a plump middle-aged woman of around thirty-five or thirty-six.
In a standard professional suit, her ample bosom strained the petite jacket of the blazer, looking quite similar to Peng Yunyan's size.
Lin Hao really worried about the slender waist, wondering how such a massive pair of coconuts could be supported?
Director Zhang had a very tall and full figure, wearing straight trousers that accentuated long, beautiful legs. As she walked lightly, her bosom heaved with a wave-like motion, carrying a weighty presence.
Lin Hao guessed this woman was suffering from post-lactation aftereffects, but it implied a plentiful supply of milk.
"Director Zhang, welcome, welcome!" Director Wan hurried up, slightly bowing in greeting.
"Director Wan, hello!" Director Zhang extended her hand proactively.
"Director Zhang, this is County Magistrate Lin," Director Wan quickly introduced.
Director Zhang turned to Lin Hao, smiling and extending her hand, "County Magistrate Lin, hello!"
"Director Zhang, hello!" Lin Hao reached out and shook her hand, finding it soft and slightly chubby.
Director Zhang obviously didn't expect Lin Hao to be so young and handsome, developing an inexplicable fondness from the firmness of his hand.
"County Magistrate Lin, to be so young and already a magistrate is truly impressive!" Director Zhang praised with a smile.
"I also didn't expect Director Zhang to be such a beauty!" Lin Hao responded with a smile.
"What beauty? I'm already getting old!" Zhang Biqin laughed heartily.
This word "sister" drew their relationship closer.
Women are universally alike—make them feel young and beautiful by praising them as a metaphorical beauty, and you won't be wrong.
Even if not a beauty, as long as you highlight her positive points, you win over any woman's favor without a doubt.
Of course, Lin Hao showing up personally as the acting county magistrate of Wucheng County to welcome this beautiful director also gave her plenty of face.
After a round of standard political flattery, the two headed upstairs to the conference room together.
