The government is investing effort and funds, allowing companies to invite clients and partners to the conference, truly empowering businesses and bringing them significant benefits.

This time, the new energy battery conference undoubtedly signals the start of Wucheng County's economic development.

"By the way, we still need to come up with a budget for this conference, and then we can discuss it in a meeting. Try to spend less and achieve more," Li Jingyi reminded.

"The specific budget can probably only be drawn up after the major companies have compiled the list of invitees," Lin Hao replied.

Li Jingyi nodded slightly and moved on to the next topic, asking, "The two deputy county magistrates assigned to you should have reported for duty by now, right?"

"Yes, they reported yesterday. I've already assigned work to them, mostly in their areas of expertise, so there shouldn't be any major issues," Lin Hao answered truthfully.

Ordinarily, the two deputy county magistrates should report to the county magistrate, who would then assign them work. Now, however, they are reporting to Lin Hao, which is self-explanatory.

Since Secretary Li is pushing him forward, and both the municipal government and city government highly regard Lin Hao, it is only a matter of time before he assumes the position of county magistrate.

However, if he wants to continue climbing the ranks, it is not solely about having achievements, but rather having support from above is what gives him the opportunity.

Lin Hao is well aware of this fact, but he does not want to take the conventional path, nor does he want to rely on anyone.

"No one will support my ambitions; I will tread through the snow to reach the mountain peak myself!"

"I have no backing, but I am the mountain! I have no territory, but I'll conquer it myself!"

These words have always supported Lin Hao, making him stronger.

After returning to his office, Lin Hao reviewed the information on bamboo resources in various towns compiled by Lu Xiaodan yesterday, and then called Lu Xiaodan in.

"Xiaolu, I reviewed the information you compiled yesterday. It's very detailed and thorough, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Hao expressed appreciation first.

"It's no trouble at all. It's my job; if you put it that way, I feel embarrassed," Lu Xiaodan replied with a bashful smile.

"Although the information is detailed, without going on-site to see it firsthand, I still feel uneasy. How about this, let's visit a few towns today to check the actual situation of the bamboo resources. You coordinate with the leaders of those towns..." Lin Hao instructed.

"Sure, which towns does County Magistrate Lin plan to visit?" Lu Xiaodan inquired.

"Qingquan Town, Kanshui Town, Longxi Town, Fenglin Town, and Nationality Town..."

Lin Hao listed several towns in one breath and continued, "Tell their town leaders that I will only inspect the bamboo resources on-site; once that's done, I'll leave, so have them plan the route..."

"Okay, when shall we depart?" Lu Xiaodan asked.

"We'll leave at nine-thirty. You have half an hour to contact them while I review the information on hand," Lin Hao signaled for her to proceed quickly.

Lu Xiaodan hurriedly left to contact the town leaders and convey Lin Hao's verbal instructions.

Although Kanghui Technology Group's bamboo fiber project requires four primary processing material bases and has already designated one in Quan Shui Town, Lin Hao intends to inspect six towns this time.

This means selecting three towns from the six to establish three bamboo fiber primary processing material bases.

Spanning a day to visit six towns, time is tight and the task is demanding—it will certainly be a strenuous day.

Today's field visits are definitely for official duties; therefore, a dedicated driver and government vehicle are arranged. Around nine-thirty, Lin Hao, accompanied by Lu Xiaodan, set off.

The mayor of Qingquan Town was Lin Hao's former superior, Tian Lanjun. Being assigned as a town mayor is quite decent, and his resume seems more complete now.

Learning that County Magistrate Lin would inspect the bamboo fiber project and determine a primary processing material base, Mayor Tian became very excited.

Qingquan Town lacks industrial support, only having a few small coal mines, and its agriculture is self-sufficient with no major highlights, except for expansive bamboo groves.

Speaking of these bamboo groves, they resulted from previous reforestation efforts and can now be put to good use.

The only thing left to do is secure the primary processing material base slot for Qingquan Town, which would address the bamboo issue and create economic value for the local people.

Mayor Tian immediately reported this matter to his counterpart, Qingquan Town Party Secretary Bao Yashan.

After their discussion, the two decided to make every effort to secure this primary processing material base slot.

The government vehicle from Wucheng County drove into the government courtyard of Qingquan Town, and Qingquan Town Party Secretary Bao Yashan and Mayor Tian, accompanied by a group of people, hurriedly came forward to welcome them.

"County Magistrate Lin, welcome, welcome!" Secretary Bao extended his hand congenially.

"Secretary Bao, my visit this time is a bit abrupt. I hope I'm not disturbing your daily work?" Lin Hao expressed a bit of apology.

"County Magistrate Lin, you're joking. It's our honor to have you guide our work in the town!" Secretary Bao replied with a smile.

"County Magistrate Lin, welcome, welcome!" Mayor Tian stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Hao as a gesture of greeting.

Lin Hao held the hand of his former supervisor, grinning widely, "Mayor Tian, it's been a while! You're as impressive as ever!"

"Look at what you're saying; we're all old friends here, don't make fun of me," Mayor Tian replied with a bitter expression.

At this time, Lin Hao noticed a familiar face in the back and suddenly remembered Luo Yimei's words. Originally, Luo Zhijun had been assigned to Qingquan Town as the vice mayor.

Luo Zhijun apparently also saw him, but he didn't come forward to greet him. Instead, his face was dark, looking like he wanted to eat someone.

Once upon a time, he imagined countless times stepping on Lin Hao, but he never expected to be the one stepped on now.

The most annoying thing is, he initially thought he could leverage Su Dingfang to get himself back to the city, but unexpectedly, the old guy counter-threatened him, causing him not to act rashly.

After all, Shen Sihai is still detained, and if he exposes anything further, Luo Zhijun's days will be even harder.

"Luo Zhijun, Vice Mayor Luo, you've indeed been transferred to Qingquan Town?" Lin Hao grinned at Luo Zhijun, his tone rich with sarcasm.

Luo Zhijun originally didn't want to engage with Lin Hao or even avoid him, but as the mayor and secretary instructed him to welcome County Magistrate Lin, he couldn't refuse.

They knew about the relationship between Lin Hao and Luo Zhijun and wanted to use him to secure a slot.

However, they never expected Lin Hao and Luo Zhijun to be on completely bad terms.

"County Magistrate Lin, welcome, welcome!" Luo Zhijun greeted with a heavy heart and a grimace.

"Brother-in-law, we're all family, no need to be so distant, right? Don't you think so?" Lin Hao approached slowly, his smiling face turning serious.

This brother-in-law had caused him great hardship in the past life. In this life, Lin Hao surely won't make it easy for him, though he might offer him a lifeline for Luo Yimei's sake.

Whether he cooperates will depend on his behavior because Lin Hao is certainly not one to show mercy lightly.
