Li Hao looked at Lin Xiao, who was waiting for his answer with a determined expression. "You did well, and there’s nothing urgent that needs improvement; it’s just that you’re not suited to be my assistant."
Is it because I’m a woman? Lin Xiao had just pondered this question in the office; all she wanted now was an answer.
Li Hao didn’t respond, nor did he deny it.
Gangyu Raoxian, he had no one trustworthy here. His senior sister Zhao Chenghua recommended Lin Xiao, so he hired her.
To be honest, he had always been wary of Lin Xiao; she was too smart and ambitious. Women with such traits were usually strong-willed and aggressive, yet Lin Xiao was not. Supreme Goodness Is Like Water, she was like the vast blue waves—calm yet powerful.
However, over the past four months, his inner caution had only grown stronger, reminding him to keep his distance from her. He feared that over time, she might take advantage of him.
This thought flashed through his mind but remained unspoken.
Lin Xiao held her folder and didn’t press further; she quietly left the county chief's office. If she knew what Li Hao thought of her, she would probably give him a good slap.
Lin Xiao devoted herself to her work not out of a desire to become a director or county chief, nor to climb the social ladder. It was simply in her nature to strive for excellence—putting forth her best effort because that was who she was.
Meanwhile, Luo Qianwei was also in a bind. He called the Organization Department to find two people to quickly handle the paperwork; he knew Zhou Bin’s capabilities were nowhere near half of Lin Xiao's.
Luo Qianwei wasn’t the only one in distress; Zhou Bin stood at Lin Xiao’s desk, lowering his voice as he said, "Lin Xiao, can’t we switch tasks? I can’t handle this; I’ll get scolded."
Zhou Bin was the first person to extend goodwill towards her after she joined the office. His father had retired from the Deputy Team and served as Deputy Secretary of the County Discipline Inspection Commission. Unlike Lin Xiao, who was a civil servant with more promotion opportunities, Zhou Bin’s future prospects were limited since he worked in a different capacity.
Feeling down, Lin Xiao didn’t want to engage with him much. She handed him a folder from her desk while saying so and also transferred some data from her computer to him.
Zhou Bin wore a distressed expression. "Lin Xiao, please help me out here. Before the new secretary starts, could you write up the materials? If not, I’ll have your sister-in-law come find you with the baby."
Before Lin Xiao could respond, Luo Qianwei rushed over with a stern face. "Zhou Bin! Why did you come out without your phone? The county chief is looking for you!"
Zhou Bin jumped in surprise and grabbed the documents he had just handed over. "Lin Xiao, I’ll leave this with you; I’ll be right back."
Luo Qianwei took Zhou Bin to meet Li Hao. Li Hao reiterated the requests made during the last on-site meeting in Gengxu Town and urged Luo Qianwei to quickly draft the meeting minutes and send them to all relevant units.
As they exited the county chief's office, Zhou Bin said to Luo Qianwei, "Director Luo, since I missed last week’s meeting, let’s have Lin Xiao handle it."
Luo Qianwei glanced at Zhou Bin with frustration. How could this capable young man be so inferior to a woman? "You go talk to her," he said.
Zhou Bin felt a surge of relief and promptly set off to find Lin Xiao. The meeting minutes were a routine task that needed to be completed after the leadership meeting, and Lin Xiao had already taken the initiative to come in on Sunday to finish them. Zhou Bin had prepared a draft, and all that was left was to incorporate the county chief's recent requests.
Initially, Zhou Bin considered asking Lin Xiao to help finalize everything, but then realized it might be a bit too much. After all, Lin Xiao had already cleared his schedule for this, and adding a few comments seemed like an easy task.
When Zhou Bin submitted the meeting minutes for review to Luo Qianwei that morning, it became clear that the draft was written by Lin Xiao. Although Zhou Bin had included the content from the county chief's office, it lacked conciseness and didn't fully capture the main points.
He sighed inwardly, reflecting on how the younger generation in the office had been struggling more and more over the past two years. Back when Lin Xiao served as Zhao Chenghua's assistant secretary, he had received praise from the Zhao County Chief within just the first month.
Feeling somewhat exhausted, Zhou Bin took up his pen and began making revisions on the meeting minutes, thinking to himself that if it were Lin Xiao handling this, he wouldn't have to waste so much effort.
