This time, the Economic Development Meeting only lasted for half a day.

After the meeting, Lin Hao saw that Zhang Boqing had sent him a message, so he hurriedly ate a working meal in the cafeteria and then immediately drove back to Wucheng County.

It turned out that after Xu Yao's parents had been arrested, under the earnest persuasion of Director Liu, they wanted to seek reconciliation with Lin Hao regarding the matter.

Actually, this matter originally had nothing to do with Lin Hao, but by spreading rumors defaming Lu Xiaodan, they also dragged Lin Hao into it.

To uphold the dignity of Wucheng County's government, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of Public Security Zhang Boqing had no choice but to escalate the matter, preparing to prosecute them for defamation.

After Secretary Zhang left, Director Liu had a good talk with Xu Yao's parents, persuading them to yield and apologize; otherwise, the consequence would be spending three years in prison.

Although Xu Yao's parents had some money, there's a saying: the poor don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't battle with the officials!

Therefore, they decided to speak with Lin Hao personally, hoping the County Magistrate wouldn't hold past grievances and would let Xu Yao off the hook.

Of course, since this matter involved Lu Xiaodan, Lin Hao wouldn't easily agree and naturally needed to consult the lady's opinion.

Lin Hao hit the road and dialed Lu Xiaodan's number.

"Xiaolu, this is Lin Hao!"

"County Magistrate Lin, what's the matter?" Lu Xiaodan couldn't help but recall sleeping in his arms for a night, blushing with embarrassment.

"It's like this, Director Zhang of the Public Security Bureau sent a message informing me that Xu Yao's parents wish to reconcile…" Lin Hao explained the general situation.

"I'll follow your lead. Whatever you decide is what we'll do," said Lu Xiaodan.

"Although we are innocent, it's not ideal for this matter to become too big. If they're willing to yield and apologize, there's no need for us to take them to task…" Lin Hao couldn't help but persuade her.

He knew that the lady had been wronged and naturally needed to seek her input. The main thing was for Xu Yao to earn the lady's forgiveness; otherwise, more trouble might arise in the future.

From his perspective, Xu Yao was merely a small ant and there was no need to pursue him relentlessly; bringing this matter to a quick conclusion would be best.

Of course, if this kid remained stubborn, he surely would prosecute him to the end, sending this fool to prison for a few years.

Director Liu accepted some benefits from the Xu family but still provided them with sincere advice, which was quite a valuable service.

Lu Xiaodan naturally understood Lin Hao's intention, which was to minimize big issues and diminish small ones, to avoid impacting his career path.

"County Magistrate Lin, if Xu Yao indeed offers an apology and clarifies the matter, I won't pursue any further responsibility against them," Lu Xiaodan reluctantly agreed.

"If that's the case, I'll have Secretary Zhang arrange it. At that time, you can oversee Xu Yao's family offering their apologies to you," Lin Hao was overjoyed.

Initially, he thought he would have to personally persuade the young lady to agree, but unexpectedly, the communication was settled over the phone.

However, since he was already on the highway, Lin Hao also planned to return to address issues regarding the sales of state-owned construction land, hoping to sell them as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao sent a message to Zhang Boqing, asking him to coordinate with Lu Xiaodan to resolve the matter, as he wouldn't be going himself.

After all, these trivial matters didn't really require wasting his time. Instead, the person arranging for Master Jin San to follow him had now become a significant worry.

This matter constantly circled around Lin Hao's mind because he didn't know who wanted to go against him or wanted to drag him down?

Last night, Li Jingyi mentioned the issue of two deputy county magistrate positions and planned to take time that day to discuss with Secretary Cao. If there were no problems, quickly appoint them to share some of Lin Hao's workload.

Upon returning to the county government office, it seemed Lu Xiaodan was called away by Secretary Zhang, so Lin Hao called Director Wei Lianggui of the National Development and Reform Commission to come over.

Currently, Director Wei of the National Development and Reform Commission was someone Lin Hao had personally promoted, who promptly arrived at his office to report on the work regarding the sale of state-owned construction land markers.

"County Magistrate Lin, we've started the bidding process, and the notice has been posted. The interested companies have also paid their deposits…" Wei Lianggui reported in detail.

In reality, the so-called bidding was just a formality. Lin Hao had previously allocated markers to each company, and they just needed to proceed according to the steps.

Upon hearing that the deposits had come in, Lin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, what was previously only a verbal agreement now became almost a finalized deal with the deposits paid.

As for the follow-up work, it was just about following procedures, making everything reasonable, compliant, and legal, then selling the markers.

"Director Wei, during my meeting with Secretary Tong of Fuyang County and Secretary Gao of Bishan County, we agreed on borrowing markers for 200 acres of state-owned construction land. For the follow-up, send someone to coordinate and get the markers as soon as possible…"

"Also, we must accelerate our land reorganization process, mainly targeting the remediation and compensation of abandoned rural homesteads… as well as linking the increase of urban and rural construction land…"

"Today, during the city's economic development meeting, the Development and Reform Commission must draft a detailed plan for economic development to see how to prosper Wucheng County's economy…"

"Naturally, to promote harmonious and stable economic and trade development, I'm preparing to hold a high-quality trade negotiation conference and the first New Energy Battery Conference in Wucheng County…"

Lin Hao thoroughly explained the focus of the next steps.

Of course, this New Energy Battery Conference would be the core of the trade negotiation event, as well as a way for the government to empower the Red Era Group.

Since it's a trade negotiation conference, merchants from all over the country would be invited, and they would focus on the products of the existing enterprises in Wucheng County.

Currently, Wucheng County can showcase its new energy battery products, along with the previous juice factory, traditional Chinese medicine factory, and some auto parts factories.

"Director Wei, our county's finances are tight right now, so you must speed things up…" Lin Hao reminded him in the end.

"Understood!" Wei Lianggui replied loudly.

"Alright, you can go," Lin Hao waved his hand, indicating he could leave.

Wei Lianggui bowed slightly and exited respectfully, demonstrating a great deal of respect towards Lin Hao.

After all, as such a capable and efficient Deputy County Magistrate, Director Wei willingly followed orders, feeling the more responsibilities he had, the more Lin Hao valued him.

Fortunately, he hadn't sabotaged Lin Hao previously, which quickly led to his own promotion to deputy county magistrate, with Lin Hao reciprocating by confirming his position.

After he left, Lin Hao began to contemplate, as hosting the New Energy Battery Conference wasn't a simple task.

The most crucial point was that with such a significant event, he had to personally ensure everything was handled properly, to avoid any mistakes when reporting back to Li Jingyi.
