Chapter 806: Zhang Lin's Weakness Exposed!
Li Na did not expect the two to get into a dispute at the elevator entrance, and she was immediately anxious.
She hurriedly dialed the phone of the bodyguard downstairs, Lao Yuan: "Lao Yuan, come to the second floor quickly, someone is looking for trouble!"
Lao Yuan quickly ran up from downstairs and pinned the man who was throwing punches to the ground.
That man was still struggling, cursing in his mouth:
"You dog, how dare you lay a hand on me? Just wait until I turn around and finish you off!"
Zhang Lin was shaking with anger, and he directly took out his phone and dialed the number of the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of public security: "Lao Wang, why is the public security in Zhangping County so poor? I can get beaten just by eating a meal; you need to come over and handle this immediately!"
Upon hearing that the Executive Deputy County Magistrate had been beaten, Wang Kang hurriedly gathered his men and rushed over.
Previously, after the Deputy County Magistrate of a neighboring county was beaten, the Hongling Group was investigated thoroughly from top to bottom.
Now that Zhang Lin had been attacked, he was afraid of a similar mess breaking out.
After a short while, the Police arrived at the scene and took the drunkard who had hit someone away from the restaurant.
Zhang Lin looked at Wang Kang and urged: "Lao Wang, there are quite a few hidden dangers in the public security of Zhangping County. If you want to attract outside businessmen to invest, you must first create a good business environment. You must handle this matter well!"
Wang Kang hurriedly apologized with a smile: "County Magistrate Zhang, the person who just hit you is a Clerk from the sub-district office. He didn't know your identity; it was a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple—a misunderstanding."
Zhang Lin sneered: "He's one of our own? Hmph, then he must be interrogated thoroughly! As a public servant, how can he be so arrogant and domineering?"
Wang Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly promised:
"Please rest assured, County Magistrate Zhang! Once he sobers up, we will definitely give him a good ideological talk. We will provide compensation where it is due and apologies where they are needed; we will not be vague about it!"
Zhang Lin then called over the restaurant owner, pointed at the terrified waitress, and instructed with a serious expression: "This matter has nothing to do with her. I don't want you to make things difficult for her later."
Boss He of the restaurant hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Zhang, we will absolutely not hold her responsible for this!"
After Zhang Lin left the restaurant, Boss He looked at the waitress and asked: "Haiyan, are you very familiar with County Magistrate Zhang?"
"I don't know him. But I was the one serving the private room where they were eating today," Xu Haiyan hurriedly explained.
Boss He touched his chin thoughtfully, his mouth twisted to one side, seemingly talking to himself.
"County Magistrate Zhang is actually quite a good person."
Not long after Boss He returned to his office, a call came through.
Li Na's voice came from the other end.
"Boss He, what is the name of the waitress who accidentally bumped into County Magistrate Zhang today?"
"Her name is Xu Haiyan, is there a problem?" Boss He asked.
Li Na replied: "I need a favor from you; I will have my driver come to pick her up later."
Boss He was clear about Li Na's background.
Although Li Zhongling and his son had been arrested, "a lean camel is still bigger than a horse," and he knew that Li Na must absolutely not be offended.
"County Magistrate Zhang specifically instructed that this matter ends here, and the girl's actions were unintentional..."
"Don't worry, me looking for her is not a bad thing for her," Li Na knew Boss He had misunderstood.
Boss He still had designs on Xu Haiyan; if it weren't for the "tigress" at home, he would have made a move long ago.
Now that someone else had taken a fancy to Xu Haiyan, he felt quite bitter inside and could only reluctantly give up what he loved!
Half an hour later, Li Na met Xu Haiyan.
Seeing the fashionably dressed and exquisitely beautiful Li Na, Xu Haiyan felt a bit flustered and buried her head.
Li Na walked up to Xu Haiyan and gently lifted her chin with her finger: "You look good, very delicate. With a little dressing up, you would definitely be a great beauty."
Xu Haiyan looked at Li Na at a loss and asked stutteringly: "D-do you have something you need from me?"
Li Na opened the safe on the table.
Inside were stacks of banknotes.
She said in a calm tone: "From today on, if you are willing to follow my arrangements, all this money will be yours."
Although Xu Haiyan was not old, she understood that this money could not be taken easily.
"Sister, I am timid and not very eloquent. I'm afraid I won't meet your requirements and will mess things up."
Li Na smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything illegal. From today on, you must go to work at the County Reception House. Your task is to help me take good care of someone."
Take care?
How to take care?
A look of conflict appeared on Xu Haiyan's face.
Li Na sighed and said slowly: "I have already looked into your family situation—your father's waist was crushed while doing heavy labor last year;
You still have younger brothers and sisters at home who are in school. With the salary you earn working at the restaurant, let alone supporting your siblings through school, you can't even scrape together the money for your father's surgery.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you!"
Xu Haiyan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, bit her back teeth hard, looked up, and said: "Sister, I will listen to you! From today on, whatever you tell me to do, I will do!"
Seeing that she had successfully persuaded Xu Haiyan, Li Na secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Lin taking the initiative to meet her gave Li Na hope for a comeback.
Although Zhang Lin was currently only an Executive Deputy County Magistrate, his potential was huge. As long as she could establish a connection with him, the Hongling Group definitely had the possibility of rising again.
Li Na wanted to give Zhang Lin a house, but Zhang Lin's attitude of rejection was obvious; he was clearly afraid of being involved in economic issues.
However.
Even the most cautious person has a weakness.
After careful observation, County Magistrate Zhang's weakness is women.
The next morning.
The doorbell rang.
Zhang Lin opened the door and discovered a familiar face appearing before him.
It was actually the waitress he had met briefly at the restaurant yesterday.
Seeing Zhang Lin, Xu Haiyan revealed a shy smile on her face and greeted him softly, "Hello, County Magistrate Zhang."
"Why have you come to work at the Reception House?" Zhang Lin asked in surprise, looking at Xu Haiyan wearing the Reception House uniform.
Xu Haiyan answered according to the script she had prepared in advance: "President Li was afraid that if I continued to work at the restaurant, I would be harassed by others, so she found someone to arrange for me to work at the Reception House."
"Hmm, what is your name?"
"My name is Xu Haiyan. I am here to help you clean the room! Is it convenient for you now?"
"It is! Come in!"
Xu Haiyan's face turned beet red as she walked into the room cautiously.
Zhang Lin rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
Xu Haiyan then began to busy herself in the room.
Very quickly, she straightened the bed and tidied up her own dirty clothes.
Zhang Lin thought to himself that this girl was quite efficient at her work.
At the same time, he felt a bit of wariness in his heart.
Li Na arranging for Xu Haiyan to work at the Reception House was clearly a case of having ulterior motives.
His own favorable impression of Xu Haiyan had actually been seen through by Li Na.
Zhang Lin arrived at his office and dialed Li Na's phone number.
"Was Little Xu's job arranged by you?"
Li Na said with a smile, "That's right, County Magistrate Zhang. I think she is very pretty and also a very honest person. You are working away from home alone without your family by your side, so you should have someone reliable to take care of you."
Zhang Lin frowned and warned, "I am a person who does not like to owe others favors. You need to know your limits when doing things."
Li Na hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Zhang, I just wanted to take good care of you. If you are not willing, I will have Little Xu leave right now and will not let her appear before your eyes again."
Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment and said indifferently, "That won't be necessary. I will be meeting with the leaders of the banking department this afternoon, and I will mention the loan issue for the Hongling Group then."
Li Na hurriedly laughed, "Thank you, County Magistrate Zhang."
In the afternoon, he communicated with the person in charge of the bank.
Zhang Lin successfully persuaded the other party to continue providing loans to the Hongling Group.
This could be considered giving Li Na a little sweetness.
Afterwards, Zhang Lin received a meeting notice from the city.
——A commendation conference is to be held on Friday, and every county and district must arrange for someone to attend.
Zhang Lin found an excuse and pushed it off onto others.
Because the protagonist of the commendation conference is Tang Ye!
Zhang Lin was truly fed up!!!
He did not want to live in Tang Ye's shadow anymore!
