Chapter 1031

Su Xinghui smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "This is mainly because you are old. If you were ten years younger, I might not necessarily win this game."

Hou Guangbi said, "It is already not simple for you to have such chess skill. Among amateur players, you can be considered an outstanding one. The most important thing is that you can look at the big picture and start from the small details when playing chess, not at all like many amateur players who have high standards but low abilities, and you are not soft-hearted when it is time to fight. Looking at your style and skill in playing chess, one can see that you are a person who does big things."

Su Xinghui said, "Grandpa Hou, you flatter me."

Hou Guangbi said, "Fine, let's eat here at noon."

The fragrance of food drifted from the kitchen of Hou Dajun's house. Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay."

After eating lunch at the Hou house, Su Xinghui rested for a while and then went to the county government. He came to Tian Xiaopeng's office. Tian Xiaopeng saw him arrive, very politely asked him to sit down, and then asked, "You have seen Old Gentleman Hou, right? What was his attitude?"

Su Xinghui said, "County Magistrate Tian, Old Gentleman Hou has already agreed to meet with Mr. Hackett, and he will also help us say a few words. He deals with people from the World Bank a lot and is relatively experienced. What he says will definitely be more effective than us."

Tian Xiaopeng said, "That's good. For this project this time, we must go all out to let the Changjiangdaqiao start construction as soon as possible. This has vital significance for the economic development of our Shangjun County, so any connections must be used."

Su Xinghui nodded, "County Magistrate Tian, don't worry, I will definitely go all out."

Tian Xiaopeng said warmly, "Comrade Xinghui, last time in Pengjiawan Township, my attitude later had some problems. I hope you won't take it to heart, and I also hope that we can join hands to do the work of Shangjun County well together."

Tian Xiaopeng actually took the initiative to apologize to Su Xinghui? What was this? Was he trying to make Su Xinghui relax his guard against him? This was impossible. The more Tian Xiaopeng acted like this, the stronger Su Xinghui's guard against him became.

However, on the surface, Su Xinghui still had to say something appropriate. He smiled and said, "County Magistrate Tian, you overstate it. The tone of my speech that day also had some problems. Although I still think I was right to insist, I should still pay more attention to the way and method of my speech."

Tian Xiaopeng nodded, "Then good. You go home and rest this afternoon. You have also worked hard in Pengjiawan Township. Just come to the county government tomorrow morning."

Su Xinghui then stood up and said, "Fine, County Magistrate Tian, then you go ahead and get busy. I'll be going now."

Tian Xiaopeng stood up and smiled, "Okay."

After Su Xinghui went out, he closed the door of Tian Xiaopeng's office from the outside. As soon as he went out, Tian Xiaopeng's face changed. He sat back in his seat heavily, his face gloomy.

After a long while, Tian Xiaopeng raised his palm and wanted to slap the desk hard, but he caught sight of the huge words "Control Anger" on a scroll hanging on the opposite wall. He slowly lowered his raised palm.

Just at this moment, his office door was knocked on. It should be a cadre he had made an appointment to talk to. Tian Xiaopeng's somewhat gloomy face immediately became sunny, put on a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Please come in!"

That afternoon, Zhang Cheng said he wanted to treat Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya to dinner. He called Xu Xiaoguang, Wu Yuansheng, and several other classmates. Of course, his girlfriend Yao Feng also participated in this gathering. Luo Xiaomei had just become a mother last year, and the child was not yet a year old, so she did not come out for this meal.

When Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya arrived at the People's Restaurant, Zhang Cheng and Yao Feng were already sitting in the private room. Not long after, Xu Xiaoguang also arrived. He was also holding a girl's hand. Su Xinghui asked in surprise, "Xiaoguang, is this your girlfriend?"

Xu Xiaoguang had driven back from Pengjiawan after receiving Zhang Cheng's call. After all, Pengjiawan was close to Shangjun County seat. However, clearly even Zhang Cheng did not expect Xu Xiaoguang to bring a girl over. He also said with some surprise, "Xiaoguang, who is this? Hurry and introduce her to us."

Xu Xiaoguang then introduced to everyone, "This is my girlfriend, Sun Fen. She works at the court as an archive administrator, and she is a neighbor of my family."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Then you two must be childhood sweethearts."

Xu Xiaoguang then introduced his classmates to Sun Fen one by one, and Sun Fen also greeted them one by one.

Sun Fen was a petite and exquisite girl with delicate features, white and clean, forming a sharp contrast with the somewhat dark-skinned Xu Xiaoguang. After greeting everyone, she sat quietly and obediently beside Xu Xiaoguang.

Xu Xiaoguang asked Wu Yuansheng, "Yuansheng, your daughter should be several months old now, right? Why didn't you let Xiaomei bring her out?"

Wu Yuansheng shook his head, "Sigh, she has had a bit of a cold these past two days, and the weather is not very warm yet, so how could I dare to bring her out? Xiaomei is taking care of her at home. After I finish eating, I have to go home early."

Su Xinghui said, "Then children do need a lot of care."

Wu Yuansheng said, "It's really worrying. She wakes up many times in the middle of the night and can't sleep soundly at all. Originally, I said I would let my mother help take care of her, but Xiaomei insisted on taking care of her herself, saying that children taken care of by oneself are easier to manage and closer to oneself."

Zhang Cheng said, "Xiaomei is right. It's best to take care of the children yourself after giving birth."

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, the hardship is only for these few years, and it is beneficial to the child for a lifetime."

Wu Yuansheng said, "You all talk as if you are parenting experts. If you really want to be parenting experts, hurry up and get married and have one yourself, then you will know the hardship of taking care of children."

Wu Yuansheng's words made the girls present blush one by one.

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "Yao Feng and I are getting married on May 4th Youth Day. You all must come to attend."

Su Xinghui said in surprise, "Is that so? You are getting married? Then congratulations!"

Others also hurriedly offered their congratulations.

Zhang Cheng said, "Yes, I am getting married. Xinghui, Xiaoguang, you all must work harder. Don't get married too late."

Su Xinghui said, "I have no choice. I have to take the lead in late marriage. To get married, it will be at least next year."

Zhang Cheng nodded, "Hmm, you are a leading cadre now. Leading cadres must marry late, but such young leading cadres as you are also rare."

Wu Yuansheng said, "Xu Xiaoguang, you don't have any late marriage restrictions. You should work harder."

Xu Xiaoguang smiled bitterly, "I have already reached the standard for late marriage. It's mainly because I am too busy and always on the construction site, so I don't have many opportunities to go home. Sun Fen and I only confirmed our relationship this New Year."

Zhang Cheng said, "I don't know if Wu Jun has found a girlfriend. I called him to come back today, but he said he had to be on duty tonight and couldn't come. With him on duty every day like this, where is he going to find a girlfriend?"

Su Xinghui said, "His situation is also a problem. Everyone should care about him a bit; otherwise, he will become a difficult case in the future."

Su Xinghui's words were not alarmist. It is indeed not easy for the police profession to find a partner.

Zhang Cheng nodded, "Then everyone keep this in mind and help Wu Jun find a partner." ===== CHAPTER 1033 =====
