Chapter 946: Dinner Show
The women who had relationships with Lin Hao were always careful with protection.
After all, if they got pregnant and didn't want to keep the baby, they would have to terminate the pregnancy, which is really not good for the body.
Lin Hao didn't expect that this sister-in-law actually wanted to stay with him forever and even wanted to have his child.
Although having a child out of wedlock isn't heavily criticized nowadays, it still doesn't reflect well on a woman's reputation.
But clearly, Su Muyu was genuinely moved by him, willing to make such a sacrifice.
"Yes, I want to have a child with you," Su Muyu said firmly, nodding in agreement.
"Xiaoyu, let's talk about having a baby later. For now, why don't you go take a bath and change clothes to attend the banquet, okay?"
Lin Hao, touched as he was, had to coax her first.
After all, when it came to having a child, he felt it needed to be considered carefully to avoid any issues later on.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother-in-law... husband!" Su Muyu said joyfully, happily leaving.
Lin Hao truly didn't know what to do with this sister-in-law, pondering how to resolve her financial issues.
After all, with such a large sum coming in and needing to go out, he thought of transferring it from that overseas investment company to avoid being traced.
...
Li Garden Hotel.
This evening, the Wucheng County Investment Promotion Bureau, with County Magistrate Lin acting as host, invited several real estate magnates to attend a banquet.
This banquet was highly anticipated, and many small businesses were trying every means possible to secure some project work from the big bosses.
Especially Dong Yue, the general manager of the Anbang Supervision Company and Cheng Jiayao's close friend, who was trying hard to meet Lin Hao.
Because with so many project opportunities, a supervision company could easily profit, just nibbling a bit would already fill them up.
Luckily, she had previously offered herself at that hot spring hotel, developing a closer relationship with Lin Hao.
However, she knew one night wasn't enough to secure more benefits.
Thus, she wanted to deepen her connection with County Magistrate Lin through Cheng Jiayao.
Even though she had no seat at the table tonight, Cheng Jiayao still brought her along, allowing her to seek Lin Hao after the meeting ended.
With Cheng Jiayao to bridge the gap, she was sure to profit greatly from this new urban area project.
Of course, she had privately promised Cheng Jiayao a certain amount of shares, proving to be a valuable friend.
...
Meanwhile, luxury cars streamed into Li Garden Hotel, stopping at the hotel entrance.
Four stunning beauties—Fang Mengzhu, Zhang Yuanyuan, Kang Shuran, and Su Muyu—stepped out from the cars, instantly adding a touch of glamour to the hotel.
The hotel general manager, Luo Yimei, together with the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau and government office, Cheng Jiayao, stepped forward to greet them.
The only two men were President Peng of the Urban Investment Company and Director Ding Hongchao from the Wucheng County State-owned Assets Management Commission.
Everyone followed Director Cheng and President Luo into the luxurious private room.
As the county magistrate, Lin Hao was the last to enter, walking in slowly, prompting everyone to rise and greet him immediately.
"County Magistrate Lin..." everyone spoke up one after another.
"Please, no need for formalities, have a seat, have a seat..."
Lin Hao wore a brand new suit, appearing full of spirit and confidence, with sharp, penetrating eyes.
His gaze swept across the crowd, the beauties' faces showing joy and a hint of tender affection.
Once he was seated, everyone else followed suit, taking their assigned seats as per the name cards, clearly showing they understood the rules.
"Ladies, President Peng, Director Ding, first of all, on behalf of the county's party committee and government, I welcome you all!"
Lin Hao's words barely ended before applause broke out among the crowd.
"The reason we're inviting you to a dinner tonight is because the new urban area construction project is about to commence..."
"As you all know, this new urban area construction project is crucial for Wucheng County's development over the next five to ten years, and is also a major initiative to enhance the city's image and boost economic growth..."
"Many real estate companies have signed up for bidding in this project, but those with true strength, I believe, are just a few of you..."
"The purpose of inviting you here tonight is to discuss the new urban area development plan and hear your thoughts..."
"But before that, I propose a toast to jointly wish the successful completion of our Wucheng County's new urban area construction project!"
Lin Hao gave a brief speech, raising his glass in an invitation.
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank in unison.
"Food is the priority of the people, I hereby announce the official start of the banquet, please enjoy..."
With Lin Hao's cue, everyone began to indulge in the feast, privately getting to know one another and engaging in lively conversation.
Lin Hao and Cheng Jiayao acted as hosts for the night, with Cheng Jiayao leading the group in toasts.
Sitting next to Lin Hao, Fang Mengzhu also raised her glass to toast him.
"County Magistrate Lin, I toast to you!"
Fang Mengzhu's demeanor was gentle and charming, like an obedient wife.
Up to this point, they were still hiding their relationship to avoid giving ammunition to certain people.
Of course, their relationship would eventually be exposed, but by then, the major issues would have been resolved, making it less of a concern.
"President Fang, I toast to you too!"
Lin Hao lightly clinked glasses with her, exchanging a glance above.
"County Magistrate Lin, we're here with sincere intentions to secure plot number one..."
Fang Mengzhu smiled as she conversed with Lin Hao.
"President Fang, many are interested in plot number one! It depends on the opinions of the others here,"
Lin Hao replied with a smile.
In reality, he had already allocated these plots and communicated privately with them beforehand.
As such, tonight's banquet was merely for show, for others to see, for the small business owners to see.
After all, what's important nowadays is strength, and each plot represents at least a billion in funding, which average companies simply can't muster.
Only upon acquiring the land can you use it as collateral for a bank loan, thereby financing the next steps in real estate development.
This process, in essence, is like pulling off a scheme with no money, but at least you need a piece of meat to catch the wolf cub!
Once everyone had a chance to toast Lin Hao, he began to make the rounds, toasting everyone at the table, graciously acknowledging these beautiful lady bosses.
As he made his rounds, he privately discussed with everyone about their collective participation in the bidding.
Since he had already allocated the plots and roughly set the bidding prices.
This way, once it's your piece, everyone will raise the price a bit, stop when it reaches the preset price, and let you have the winning bid opportunity.
As for those small business owners looking to participate, just a few price bids would push them out, not worth worrying about.
The atmosphere of this banquet was very harmonious, truly a joy for both host and guests.
