The leadership is currently having a conversation with the director of the Water Resources Bureau, inspecting their work, and naturally, I shouldn't disturb them.

Of course, now is absolutely not a good time for an interview either.

Thus, Mu Wanting gestured grandly, and a few colleagues immediately followed, some taking photos, others shooting videos, to serve as material for future use.

Lin Hao asked a critical question, but Director Gu's answer was somewhat satisfactory.

"Director Gu, although the rising waters have increased the workload, your river sediment clearing work should have been completed before the flood season. How come it's delayed so late?" Lin Hao asked again.

"To be frank, County Magistrate Lin, we didn't have any funds before, and Secretary Li was holding us up. You know, for such a large project, if there's no money, those excavators and loaders won't move. I was truly at a loss!" Director Gu pushed the blame onto County Committee Secretary Li Jingyi.

He did have a point; who would work without pay? Without funds at my disposal, it's naturally problematic to start work. This can't be blamed on me, can it?

"Director Gu, our county has been financially tight, but as the Water Resources Bureau director, you should have planned ahead, finding ways to clear the riverbed before the flood season arrives, rather than waiting until you have funds..."

"If the county finances aren't available now, does that mean the river sediment won't be cleared? If the river isn't cleaned, when the flood comes, inundating Wucheng County, do you know how great the loss would be?"

"Don't use the lack of money as an excuse. At the very least, you should find a way to get things done in advance. As a level of government, we wouldn't default on payments, would we?"

Lin Hao pointed out directly that Director Gu was somewhat negligent in his duties, leading to the delay in the project progress.

"Yes, yes, yes, our Water Resources Bureau will definitely take the bigger picture into account, getting things done before difficulty arises in the future to avoid greater loss when the flood hits." Director Gu nodded repeatedly, smiling.

"I'm not very satisfied with this project's progress. Therefore, you must find a way to speed up the process..."

Lin Hao said while looking at the river, thought for a moment, and continued: "How about this, contact the dredging ships immediately, check their rates, and I'll allocate ten percent more funds to accelerate the project progress."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Lin. I'll contact them right away." Director Gu was delighted and quickly took out his phone to make calls.

The beautiful reporter who followed behind saw Director Gu contacting the dredging ships and quickly approached.

"County Magistrate Lin, this is Mu Wanting, a reporter from the TV station." Lu Xiaodan quickly introduced.

"Hello, Reporter Mu!" Lin Hao smiled, nodding and looking intently.

Wearing a light blue professional skirt suit, a small blazer on top and a tight-fitting pencil skirt on bottom, with an alluring small waist and soft, full snow-white peaks above, she demonstrated graceful figure and curves.

Her beautiful face had large, bright eyes that were captivating, with small, luscious red lips, attractive and tender, thin lips, clearly an eloquent beauty.

"Hello, County Magistrate Lin!" Mu Wanting quickly stepped forward and proactively extended her hand.

Lin Hao took her soft and delicate hand, feeling its small and warm comfort, and released it after a gentle shake.

These beauties from the TV station are said to be either wives or sisters-in-law of various county leaders, or the leaders' mistresses; otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten in.

Mu Wanting met Lin Hao, the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, for the first time. She had only seen him in photos before; unexpectedly, Lin Hao was very handsome, which surprised her a bit.

"County Magistrate Lin, I'd like to interview you for a moment, would that be possible?" Mu Wanting gathered her thoughts and asked directly.

"Reporter Mu, I asked you here not to interview me, but to present the sediment cleaning work of the Wuding River to the people of the county, to let them know our government is doing work, so take more footage of the project..."

Lin Hao pointed at the engineering vehicles shuttling back and forth in the river, smiling: "Also, interview the workers on-site, inquire about the specific project progress..."

"County Magistrate Lin, I think including a bit of footage of you is necessary to demonstrate the practical work of the county committee and government." Mu Wanting said with a smile.

Lin Hao frowned slightly, thinking it was inappropriate for him to get involved, and smiled, saying: "How about this, interview Director Gu from the Water Resources Bureau later, let him introduce it..."

"County Magistrate Lin, you're really too humble, too modest, not even willing to appear on TV..." Mu Wanting said with a smile.

"It's not that I'm modest, but cleaning river sediment is originally the Water Resources Bureau's duty. Director Gu should know best." Lin Hao explained with a smile.

At this moment, Director Gu returned after his call.

"County Magistrate Lin, I've contacted the dredging ships to assist, so the sediment clearing progress will double." Director Gu reported back happily.

"In that case, you are fully responsible for this. Make sure there are no mistakes. Flood prevention and control work must not be neglected, as it's related to the safety of lives and property of all county residents..." Lin Hao instructed.

"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, I will closely monitor this issue, ensuring no problems arise." Director Gu responded loudly.

"Also, when the TV station interviews you later, detail the situation of the river sediment cleaning and rectification..." Lin Hao smiled at Director Gu, instructing him.

Director Gu, breaking into a cold sweat, quickly declined: "County Magistrate Lin, even if the TV station wants an interview, it's you they should interview, not me. This won't do!"

"As the Water Resources Bureau Director, you're most familiar with the sediment clearing work, so it's most suitable for you. I asked the TV station to interview you in order to demonstrate the county committee and government's emphasis on flood prevention. Don't let me down." Lin Hao encouraged him earnestly.

"I feel a bit uneasy about this..." Director Gu said with a wry smile.

"There's nothing uneasy about it. Perform well, and city government leaders will notice your effort. Don't mess it up; this is your task from the county committee." Lin Hao instructed.

"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, I will complete the task." Director Gu replied loudly.

Mu Wanting, seeing Lin Hao decline the interview, was quite surprised to see the opportunity given to the director of the Water Resources Bureau.

After all, being on TV, increasing one's exposure, is positive publicity for oneself, contributing to one's credentials in politics.

But, this county magistrate is peculiar, giving such an opportunity to Director Gu instead.

Since County Magistrate Lin made his intentions clear, she has no choice but to lead Director Gu to prepare for the interview.
