Chapter 104

Lu Xiaoya quickly pressed down on the painting, as if afraid her mother would take it away to sell: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How can this be sold?"

Song Qiaoli said, "I don't mean to sell it. I mean this painting is very valuable, and it has great commemorative significance for you, so it should be well preserved. I can take it to our store and find a master to mount it well."

Lu Xiaoya then understood her mother's meaning and nodded: "Okay!"

At this time, Lu Zhenghong came in from outside and smiled: "What are you mother and daughter talking about? So happy!"

Song Qiaoli said in surprise, "Old Lu, why are you back so early today?"

Lu Zhenghong had been in office for about a week. When he was in the Party History Office, he could go home on time every day, but as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, he suddenly became busy and almost never ate at home every day. It was really strange that he came back so early today.

Lu Zhenghong said, "Secretary Gu's wife is here. He wants to accompany his wife for dinner today, so there are no other social engagements, and I was able to come back early."

Song Qiaoli asked, "Secretary Gu's wife? Old Yu's daughter is here?"

Gu Shanmin's wife, Yu Jingyan, was the daughter of the revolutionary veteran Old Yu and was the deputy director of a department in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Gu Shanmin came to Hudong Province at the beginning of the year to take office, but she didn't follow. She came to visit Gu Shanmin about once or twice a month.

This time should also be to visit him. The couple had a good relationship, and every time she came, Gu Shanmin would push aside all social engagements to accompany her.

Song Qiaoli didn't care about these things before, but her husband became the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, a position equivalent to Gu Shanmin's housekeeper, so she had to understand these things.

Lu Zhenghong put down the bag in his hand and walked over, saying, "Yes, she is here to visit Secretary Gu."

Walking to the table, Lu Zhenghong saw the portrait of Lu Xiaoya and said in surprise, "Who painted this? It's really good! It painted our Xiaoya so beautifully!"

Lu Xiaoya said unhappily, "Isn't your daughter beautiful?"

Lu Zhenghong laughed loudly: "Beautiful, beautiful, our Xiaoya is the most beautiful girl!"

Sitting in the position of Director of the Party History Office for three years, Lu Zhenghong thought he had cultivated a heart like still water, but this time he turned over, becoming the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and his personality was much more cheerful than before.

Lu Zhenghong looked at the signature and said in surprise, "Su Xinghui painted it? His painting is also so good?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Yes, he painted it. I helped him, and I asked him to paint a picture for me. He mailed it after he painted it."

Lu Zhenghong nodded and said, "He is really a talented young man!"

Song Qiaoli said, "Yes, it's a pity. Why didn't such a talented young man stay in Jiangcheng? Why did he have to go to that poor and remote place?"

Lu Zhenghong put away his smile and said, "I think it's quite good for him to work in the township."

Lu Zhenghong took a "Yulin Daily" out of his bag and handed it to Song Qiaoli: "Look at this newspaper."

Lu Zhenghong's office received the party newspapers of every region and city in the province every day. He had to browse through these newspapers to see if there was any valuable news. Today, he saw the report related to Su Xinghui in the "Yulin Daily."

Song Qiaoli flipped through the newspaper and found the report. She read it carefully, and Lu Xiaoya also leaned over to her side to read it together.

After reading the report, Song Qiaoli looked up and said, "This Su Xinghui has quite an ambition. He even wants to engage in agricultural industrialization in Meng Hu Ling. It seems he really wants to do a great cause!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Yes, it seems that he is not necessarily worse in the township than in Jiangcheng. Those who sit in the office in Jiangcheng every day reading newspapers and drinking tea may not be better than him?"

Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "Yes, this young man is really extraordinary. He has such talent, such ideas, and can settle down to work in the township and put his ideas into practice. Young people who are both capable and down-to-earth like this are really rare now!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Dad, then you should help him."

Lu Zhenghong nodded and said, "It seems I have to help him."

After Lu Zhenghong became the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, he had a conversation with Gu Shanmin. Gu Shanmin parachuted into Hudong Province, and it had been more than half a year, but he hadn't made any major adjustments to the cadre team of Hudong Province. Promoting Lu Zhenghong could be considered his first major move.

This move wouldn't arouse others' vigilance. Although the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee was a position for a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, because this position was equivalent to the housekeeper of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, or even the big secretary, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary had absolute say in the selection of this position.

Gu Shanmin had been here for so long, and he had only moved this one person, and it was the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. No one could say he was wrong, but this also led to Lu Zhenghong being the only person Gu Shanmin could absolutely control in the Standing Committee.

Of course, this also meant that Lu Zhenghong was now the person Gu Shanmin trusted the most.

Lu Zhenghong didn't know much about Gu Shanmin's personality before, nor did he know that his old leader had recommended him to Gu Shanmin. Gu Shanmin was very calm. He didn't reveal any intention to use Lu Zhenghong for half a year after he came. It wasn't until the organizational investigation some time ago that Lu Zhenghong knew he was going to turn over.

In the conversation with Gu Shanmin, Lu Zhenghong learned that it was his old leader who recommended him to Gu Shanmin. Gu Shanmin didn't rashly use him after coming, but after more than half a year of understanding from various parties, confirmed that Lu Zhenghong was a usable person, and only then used him.

Gu Shanmin's caution didn't make Lu Zhenghong feel disgusted, but instead made Lu Zhenghong know that Gu Shanmin was a person with real political wisdom. Therefore, in the conversation with Gu Shanmin, he also tried his best to plan for Gu Shanmin and put forward many good suggestions to him.

Among them, he suggested that Gu Shanmin attach importance to agriculture.

Hudong Province was a major agricultural province, and the vast majority of the province's population was agricultural. If the agricultural problem could be solved, most of Hudong Province's problems would be solved.

Lu Zhenghong's point of view coincided with Gu Shanmin's. Gu Shanmin investigated in Hudong Province for several months and also believed that the agricultural problem was the biggest problem in Hudong Province, which made Gu Shanmin value Lu Zhenghong even more, and the two talked happily.

Come to think of it, Lu Zhenghong's point of view was inspired by Su Xinghui. He had personally been to Ye Zhugou Village and witnessed the difficulties of farmers' lives, knowing that the agricultural problem had reached the point where it had to be solved, and Su Xinghui's idea of getting rich was indeed quite good.

And after reading this report, Lu Zhenghong had a further understanding of Su Xinghui's ideas. The agricultural industrialization proposed by Su Xinghui made Lu Zhenghong excited.

Lu Xiaoya said to let Lu Zhenghong help Su Xinghui, and Lu Zhenghong really wanted to help this outstanding young man.

He wanted to see what kind of dazzling achievements Su Xinghui could make in Meng Hu Ling.
