"Secretary?" Lin Hao was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, our governnt office has several candidates for secretaries, but I'm not sure what you think..."
Zheng Yanbo turned to look at Lu Xiaodan and, with an awkward smile, said, "Mainly because Comrade Lu Xiaodan is a newcor, the workload for the County Magistrate is heavy, and if anything goes wrong..."
Lin Hao understood what was being implied; within the system, seniority is crucial. Director Zheng ant that Lu Xiaodan's qualifications weren't sufficient for her to be his secretary.
Previously, when she ca here, she was rely a liaison officer, more accurately just a runner by Lin Hao's side.
However, as Lin Hao's position continued to rise, his task load increased correspondingly, and as his secretary, her workload would also grow.
Zheng Yanbo was concerned that Lu Xiaodan was too young and lacked the experience, making it possible for errors in her work, which would be problematic.
Of course, if one said there weren't any selfish motives from Zheng Yanbo in this, or certain ambitions to climb the ranks, it would be impossible.
After all, Lin Hao was now imnsely powerful, and who wouldn't want to get closer to him?
Lin Hao did want to promote Lu Xiaodan, but her qualifications were indeed too shallow, and directly promoting her now might disrespect Zheng Yanbo.
Upon hearing Zheng Yanbo's words, Lu Xiaodan also felt slightly anxious and awkward.
Because she knew very well that she just graduated and originally was only a runner for Lin Hao, having little qualifications and experience.
If Lin Hao didn't want her dragging him down in his work, he would certainly look for a more capable and experienced secretary.
In fact, this bad habit of sticking to seniority perates all governnt departnts, and it is not sothing that can be changed overnight.
Yet, Lin Hao was clearly not interested in following Director Zheng's lead; instead, he turned to Lu Xiaodan and asked with a smile, "Xiaolu, do you want to stay by my side?"
"County Magistrate Lin, of course I want to stay by your side." Lu Xiaodan's pretty face slightly reddened as she replied ekly.
"In that case..."
Lin Hao prolonged his words, turned to Zheng Yanbo, and said with a smile, "Director Zheng, Xiaolu has been with for quite so ti. Her work capabilities are impressive, and she hasn't made any big mistakes. Let her be my secretary."
"Well... Lu Xiaodan's qualifications and level..." Zheng Yanbo seed a bit troubled.
Because Lu Xiaodan just joined, she was rely a regular clerk. If she wanted to be the County Magistrate's secretary, she needed to be at least a deputy section level.
Therefore, Zheng Yanbo felt a bit troubled.
"If her qualifications and level aren't enough, can't we co up with a solution? Isn't there a way, Director Zheng?" Lin Hao looked at him with a smile.
"County Magistrate Lin, to promote her, I suppose you need to have a word with the Organizational Departnt. I will submit the report." Zheng Yanbo quickly said.
Lin Hao knew when Zheng asked him to talk to the Organizational Departnt that he was playing tricks, tossing the ball back to him.
After all, as the governnt office director, if he wanted to promote departnt personnel, all he needed was to submit a report to the Organizational Departnt.
Now he was throwing the matter to Lin Hao, having him talk to the Organizational Departnt, which ant that Lin Hao would owe the Organizational Departnt a favor and inadvertently expose his unusual relationship with Lu Xiaodan.
Such a cunning office director would make Lin Hao's future work sowhat challenging!
Lu Xiaodan clearly understood that this was Zheng Yanbo deliberately making it difficult for Lin Hao, and even if Lin Hao personally approached the matter, the Organizational Departnt might give face, but it wouldn't sit well.
After all, such personnel changes, when Lin Hao was rely an acting County Magistrate and hadn't fully assud the position, was indeed a bit inappropriate.
Lin Hao fell silent for a mont, then said in a deep voice, "Let's do this; I'll first discuss the secretary matter with Secretary Li and hear her opinion."
"Alright, I'll wait for your word." Zheng Yanbo replied.
"Director Zheng, could you also bring the resus of the candidates who qualify to be secretaries in our governnt office?" Lin Hao continued.
"Sure, I'll go get them right away." Zheng Yanbo hurried off.
Lin Hao watched his retreating figure, his eyes flashing a trace of coldness.
Zheng Yanbo originally thought Lin Hao was contemplating the choice of secretary, however, little did he know Lin Hao was considering how to replace this office director.
Each dynasty has its courtiers!
Since this office director was promoted by the previous County Magistrate, he must have had a good relationship with Zhou Banghuai. Although last ti, the issue didn't pull him in, it was probably because he was just a small fry and wasn't hunted down completely.
Actually, being the director of the office, how could Zheng Yanbo not know about the things Zhou Banghuai did? How could he not want to be involved?
The truth is, he was rely a small fry and wasn't qualified to enter Zhou Banghuai's circle, hence he escaped disaster.
This ti, Lin Hao beca the acting County Magistrate, possessing a few choices for secretaries who were naturally close to him.
If he could implant soone next to Lin Hao, he'd fully grasp Lin Hao's thoughts and movents, remain unrivaled, and could even influence Lin Hao's thoughts via the secretary.
Director Zheng was imagining great things, excitedly fetching the list of secretary candidates and resus, yet unaware how he had already incited Lin Hao's murderous intent.
Of course, this murderous intent wasn't about killing him but rather finding an opportunity to replace him.
This is how it goes within the system; if you inadvertently offend a superior, the outco is predictable.
Lu Xiaodan stood behind Lin Hao, not seeing the anger in his eyes. Watching Zheng Yanbo leave and thinking about leaving Lin Hao made her nose tingle, her eyes welling up with tears.
Lin Hao turned around, catching her aggrieved look, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Crying? Can't bear to part with ?"
"No, I'm not." Lu Xiaodan pouted.
"Being so stubborn! I even said I'd keep you by my side." Lin Hao teased her.
"Really? You really want to keep by your side?" Lu Xiaodan smiled through her tears.
"Of course it's true, but you need to be patient and no crying allowed!" Lin Hao nodded earnestly.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lu Xiaodan responded with a smile.
Truth be told, earlier she thought Lin Hao had taken advantage of her a few tis, feeling sowhat at a loss. But now she sees her efforts paying off.
From Lin Hao's perspective, having taken advantage of the young lady several tis, how could he not show so loyalty? How could he forsake her?
Yet, that aside, even if he really forsakes Lu Xiaodan now, the young lady could only suffer in silence.
After all, Lin Hao hadn't taken her virginity, at most just so advantage, and she couldn't do anything to him, might even be accused of slandering a superior.
Of course, Lin Hao was well aware that once they were in bed together, their relationship would change.
At least the original superior-subordinate relationship wouldn't remain pure, affecting his work undoubtedly.
