President Min was secretly relieved to hear that the partner had already injected funds. Of course, if he could sign to assume joint liability, he would dare to sign it.
After all, even though Lin Hao had given a heads-up, Yu Peishan indeed had few assets. With her capability, if her venture failed, she would not be able to repay the debt.
"If that's really the case, I'll expedite the loan process for President Yu on my end," President Min swiftly agreed.
"President Min, you might want to investigate President Yu's partner to see if she truly has the capability. After all, a loan of seven million at once is quite a pressure for you," Lin Hao added with a smile.
"County Magistrate Lin, usually such a small matter would be handled with just a word from you. However, I still need to follow a process from my side, so I hope you don't mind," President Min explained with a smile.
"No worries, we're all friends here, it's nothing. As for the interest rate..." Lin Hao paused slightly.
President Min immediately understood and quickly responded, "Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, the interest rate will definitely be the lowest."
"Hahaha..." Lin Hao cheerfully raised his teacup and thanked with a smile, "Thanks a lot, President Min."
"County Magistrate Lin, you're too polite." President Min hurriedly raised his cup to clink glasses and finished it in one gulp, sealing the successful agreement.
Lin Hao put down his cup and with a smile said, "President Min, tonight I represented the county committee and government to welcome the delegation led by Chairman Ma of the Red Era Group. We inspected the new plant and installed production lines at the Binjiang Industrial Park..."
"The new energy project is the future economic driver of our Wucheng County. President Yu's current project is a part of this new energy project, so its development prospects are very good. You don't have to worry about not being able to repay the loan in the future..."
Upon hearing that the chairman of the Red Era Group personally came for an inspection and knowing that the new energy project had fully launched, President Min felt that with such a major project backing him, his performance was set.
"Hearing that from County Magistrate Lin boosts my confidence too. How about this, I'll apply for a ten million loan for President Yu from the head office. If that's not enough, I'll increase the limit," President Min surprisingly increased the amount by three million.
Lin Hao didn't expect this either, and turned to Yu Peishan with a smile, asking, "President Yu, will you take the extra three million?"
"Absolutely, if the funds are more abundant now, we can hire more talents and start production faster," Yu Peishan said with delight.
"In that case, let it be ten million," Lin Hao finally decided.
Yu Peishan was in the process of raising funds and hiring staff, thus she was in desperate need of a large sum of money, so naturally, the more the better.
Originally, she intended to live frugally and barely make do, but with an additional three million now, she could unleash her potential and make a big push.
Since the matter was settled, the two parties discussed some details, and President Min excused himself with some business and left first.
After seeing off President Min, Yu Peishan leisurely walked into the tea room and glanced at Lin Hao, who was drinking tea.
"County Magistrate Lin, I really have to thank you this time!" The beautiful lady hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"It's nothing, just a small effort, no need to thank me," Lin Hao was very modest.
"Let me treat you to a late-night snack," Yu Peishan suggested.
"I've had my fill of wine and drinks; I won't be able to eat, so let's skip the late-night snack," Lin Hao decisively declined.
"You've helped me so much, how should I thank you?" Yu Peishan looked at him with sincerity and asked.
"No need to thank me, it was Secretary Li's instruction," Lin Hao brought up Li Jingyi as a shield.
"You're lying, Ms. Jingyi said it was all you helping me from behind the scenes, she didn't lift a finger," Yu Peishan laughed softly.
From the change in how she addressed Li Jingyi, it was apparent their relationship was quite special. Previously, Li Jingyi was probably concerned about something, which is why she didn't discuss their relationship with Lin Hao.
"Hehehe..." Lin Hao chuckled heartily, "So, Secretary Li and you have no secrets from each other, huh?"
"Are you curious about what kind of relationship I have with her?" Yu Peishan asked with a smile.
"A little curious, but if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say," Lin Hao nodded slightly.
"It's not really inconvenient. However, since Ms. Jingyi didn't say, I certainly won't either," Yu Peishan laughed softly.
"You're terrible, stirring up my curiosity and then not telling me!" Lin Hao gave her a playful look and shook his head in resignation.
"By the way, I heard you divorced your wife? So, you're single now?" Yu Peishan asked with a grin.
"Yeah, I'm single now. Why? Interested in me?" Lin Hao, emboldened by alcohol, flirted with the beauty.
"Who's interested in you? Narcissist!" Yu Peishan teased with a mixture of allure and shyness.
Truth be told, Lin Hao was handsome and good-looking, and now he was also the permanent deputy county magistrate. Even if he was divorced, he was still the ideal match for many women.
Moreover, Lin Hao had just helped her solve a major problem and encouraged her to venture into entrepreneurship, naturally leading her to have a misconception.
That Lu Hao had feelings for her.
Even though she said she wasn't interested, she couldn't hide the bit of affection and tenderness in her eyes.
"Alright, I should be heading back," Lin Hao finished his tea, put down the cup, and prepared to leave.
"Going back so soon?" Yu Peishan still wanted to spend a bit more time with him.
"Go back early to rest, still have work tomorrow," Lin Hao replied.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, shouldn't it be a day off?" Yu Peishan was puzzled.
"Day off? We don't have such a thing as a day off."
"Then I'll give you a ride. I drove."
"Alright!"
After the two of them went downstairs, the beauty drove Lin Hao back to the Su Family.
Upon stepping inside, they immediately saw Peng Yunyan and a young girl unfamiliar to him in the living room.
"Lin Hao, this is my daughter, Xia Jingjing."
"Jingjing, quickly call him brother-in-law," Peng Yunyan hurriedly introduced.
Wearing a white dress, Xia Jingjing slowly stood up, with a height of at least 170 cm, slightly taller than Peng Yunyan, but she had a slender figure and a youthful face.
Nevertheless, this young girl's looks indeed resembled Peng Yunyan, particularly those sparkling and expressive eyes.
"Brother-in-law..." the shy young beauty softly called out.
"Jingjing, make yourself at home, relax a bit," Lin Hao casually replied.
"Hmm..." The young beauty nodded, seeming a bit uneasy.
Lin Hao strolled over and sat on the sofa across from her, sizing up the student-like girl before him, causing Xia Jingjing's face to flush with embarrassment.
Peng Yunyan came over and asked with a smile, "How is she? Isn't my daughter beautiful?"
"Indeed, she's quite beautiful, but does she know what kind of job she wants?" Lin Hao looked at Xia Jingjing.
"Brother-in-law, I... I'm not sure either," Xia Jingjing shook her head with a look of distress.
"What major are you studying in vocational college?" Lin Hao asked.
"I'm studying the secretary major," Xia Jingjing replied.
