Although the Wuding River is not wide, building a bridge would require at least hundreds of millions in funding, right?
Of course, this funding would have to be requested from the City Government, but the county is holding it up, not letting it be reported.
Honestly, when the economy in Wucheng County wasn't developed, the County Committee and Government thought that even if they reported it, it probably wouldn't be approved, which is why they kept holding it back.
"Director Guo, I am very supportive of this project to build Bridge No. 2, but I think your plan needs a bit of adjustment…" Lin Hao said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Lin, how do you suggest we adjust it?" asked Guo Yanxiang, the director of the Bureau of Urban and Rural Planning, with humility.
"I'm not a professional, just sharing my thoughts. Please feel free to point out if I am wrong, Director Guo." Lin Hao was very modest.
After all, in terms of urban spatial planning and construction, he certainly wasn't as professional as the experienced Director, but he had his own unique perspective by considering issues from the angle of overall county economic development.
"County Magistrate Lin, please feel free to speak your mind." Director Guo said with a smile.
"Director Guo, looking at this map, you'll find that there should be a connecting line between Bridge No. 1 and Bridge No. 2. Large trucks shouldn't enter the city in the future, they should use the outer ring road. Additionally, the route of this road connection and the newly built outer ring should be determined based on the locations of new energy enterprises for their convenience in transportation..." Lin Hao slowly started to explain.
"County Magistrate Lin, you are absolutely right. Our plan was indeed too narrow. We should consider it with the entire county's economic development in mind. I will go back and make the changes immediately." Director Guo agreed wholeheartedly.
"Another point is that the purpose of building this bridge is for the economic development of the entire county, not just for the convenience of the public. That way, it will receive the attention from above..." Lin Hao added with a smile.
"Yes, you are right. I know how to modify it now." Director Guo's eyes suddenly lit up.
After some more exchanges and additions, Director Guo left happily.
Lin Hao was exhausted, collapsed in the chair, feeling very hungry, and ready to eat, only to find Lu Xiaodan coming in with a meal.
"County Magistrate Lin, I brought you some food, hurry and eat." Lu Xiaodan placed the meal in front of him.
Lin Hao estimated he had missed the mealtime and was planning to have some dry food, but unexpectedly, the pretty liaison officer brought him steaming hot food, which made him feel quite touched.
Actually, it was Lin Hao's tireless work that moved the beauty to think how could such a good leader go hungry? Therefore, she brought him the meal.
"Xiaolu, thank you!" Lin Hao picked up the chopsticks and started to eat rapidly.
Lu Xiaodan smiled seeing him devour the food like that, blooming like a peach blossom, instantly brightening the office considerably.
While eating, Lin Hao looked at the young lady across from him, thinking with such a beautiful woman like this, he didn't really need to eat, just looking at her would fill him up.
"County Magistrate Lin, why are you looking at me? Come on, eat!" Lu Xiaodan asked puzzledly.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Hao asked.
"Of course, I have. This meal is from the canteen, and since it was specially dished out for you, didn't you notice there's a bit more food?" Lu Xiaodan replied with a smile.
"Yes, it seems there is more, perhaps more meat." Lin Hao smiled happily.
"County Magistrate Lin, about last night when you drove me back, I…" Lu Xiaodan was unsure how to start.
"That was my fault last night, which caused the misunderstanding. Driving you back was the right thing to do, why would you want to thank me again?" Lin Hao completely misunderstood her intent.
"No, my dad said…" Lu Xiaodan was frustrated, hesitating to speak.
"Your dad is too polite. Driving you back was just a small favor, why be so formal?" Lin Hao said with a smile.
Lu Xiaodan was at her wit's end, not knowing how to bring up helping her dad with sales.
"My dad said he'd like to treat you to a meal." Lu Xiaodan quickly found a solution.
Though it was unsuitable for her to bring it up with Lin Hao, if she invited him for a meal, her dad could ask then.
"There's no need for a meal, why is your dad so formal?" Lin Hao refused immediately.
He was so overwhelmed with work, he barely had time to have a meal. Moreover, it was just a little gesture to send the beautiful girl home.
It was a small matter, not worthy of a meal!
Lu Xiaodan was so infuriated, but it was like dealing with an immovable deputy county magistrate.
"County Magistrate Lin, my dad's glass factory's sales aren't doing well. Do you have any ideas?" Lu Xiaodan eventually found the courage.
"Sales aren't doing well?"
Lin Hao repeated, looking the beauty up and down, laughing heartily, "Hahaha… I knew this meal wouldn't come without a reason."
"What… what are you saying? I sincerely didn't want you to go hungry, that's why…" Lu Xiaodan blushed, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Hahaha… explaining means covering up. Just tell me, what do you really want?" Lin Hao chuckled and asked.
Lu Xiaodan's pretty face was flushed red, evidently lacking experience in asking for favors, she said weakly, "My… my dad wants to ask you to help him sell some glass products."
"I thought it was a big deal, no problem, I will find ways to help." Lin Hao readily agreed.
"You… you agreed?" Lu Xiaodan was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course." Lin Hao nodded firmly.
"County Magistrate Lin, thank you so much, I… I really don't know how to thank you." Lu Xiaodan was extremely happy.
"It's just a small matter. Besides, many enterprises certainly need glass products. However, I must first inquire about those enterprises' needs before I can help you sell them." Lin Hao said with a smile.
"There's no hurry on this matter, having your assurance is enough for me. Can I tell my dad about this?" Lu Xiaodan asked.
"Of course, you may go ahead." Lin Hao responded with a smile.
Lu Xiaodan was overjoyed and immediately went out to call her father, sharing this good news with him.
Upon hearing that Lin Hao agreed to help, Lu Yahu immediately said to his daughter, "Xiaodan, check when County Magistrate Lin is available, I'd like to invite him for a meal."
"County Magistrate Lin said no meals, he's really too busy right now." Lu Xiaodan replied.
"There's no rush with the meal. Once he's done, find a chance to invite him for a meal alone, and I'll pay for it." Lu Yahu said with a laugh.
"We'll see when the time comes, for now, I have to get back to work." Lu Xiaodan said, hanging up the phone.
She quickly returned to Lu Hao's office, gathered the dishes so Lin Hao could take a rest during the noon break.
After all, so many corporate executives needed to be met and negotiated with in the afternoon, Lin Hao needed to maintain a good mental state.
