Yang Jiong said, "Isn't it because you gave me a favor last time, and our bureau chief..."

Yang Jiong didn't say any more, but Su Xinghui also understood his meaning. Last time with Yuan Kang's matter, he didn't hold on to it, which was considered selling Yang Jiong a favor, and Yang Jiong handled this matter, so their bureau chief naturally recorded the credit on Yang Jiong's head.

In addition, Yang Jiong could talk to people with deep backgrounds like Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya, so their bureau chief would of course value him more. This time there was an opportunity for promotion, so of course it was given to him.

In the final analysis, this is some hidden rules in the officialdom, and the subtlety lies in one's heart. From this aspect, Yang Jiong should indeed thank Su Xinghui. Without Su Xinghui, this opportunity would be impossible to give to him.

Su Xinghui laughed out loud, "Then I wish Captain Yang a bright future."

Yang Jiong said gratefully, "Thank you, Township Head Su. In the future, if you have anything to find me, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Yang Jiong indeed wanted to be grateful to Su Xinghui. He is already in his thirties this year and has worked in the traffic police team for more than ten years. Starting from a small policeman, it was not easy to become a deputy captain, but he couldn't be promoted. He had no background, no money to run for office, and no thick face to blow and flatter. He missed several promotion opportunities.

Originally, he didn't have any hope for his future and thought that he would be a deputy captain for the rest of his life. But who knew that he accidentally met Su Xinghui, which actually allowed him to be promoted by one grade and become a captain. He was so grateful to Su Xinghui in his heart that he couldn't mention it. Therefore, as soon as he received Su Xinghui's call today, he rushed over immediately, without delaying for a minute.

You know today is Sunday. Originally, his father-in-law and mother-in-law went to his house and said they would eat at his house. The meal at his house was also ready, but as soon as he received Su Xinghui's call, he agreed without hesitation. Then he told his wife, and his wife heard that it was the benefactor who helped him get promoted who invited him to dinner, so she immediately agreed and stuffed him with 500 yuan, asking him to treat people to a good meal.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya wanted to eat at this small shop, and there was not even a private room, which really made Yang Jiong feel ashamed and felt sorry for Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui also understood Yang Jiong's mood. A person nearing forty years old, but in the officialdom, he couldn't see any prospects. He also tasted this feeling in his previous life. If he could meet a noble person at that time, I am afraid his reaction would not be much calmer than Yang Jiong's.

People who are not in the officialdom will not experience this feeling. Obviously, his work ability is stronger and he works harder, but every promotion opportunity is snatched away by those who are not as good as himself. Will such a feeling make people feel better?

It's a pity that such things happen almost every moment in the Chinese officialdom.

Su Xinghui smiled, "I don't need you to thank me for anything. In the final analysis, you are a good person, and your work is also done well. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get this promotion opportunity. As long as you work hard to do your work well in the future, you will definitely have great development in the future."

Yang Jiong shook his head and sighed, "To tell the truth, Township Head Su, if you hadn't helped me, I really wouldn't have the confidence to be promoted. But since you have said so, I will definitely work harder in the future and not live up to this promotion opportunity."

Seeing Yang Jiong like this, Su Xinghui also felt very happy. He felt that the favor he gave Yang Jiong was not given wrongly.

The dishes were served, and the landlady said to Yang Jiong, "This comrade, what wine and water are you drinking?"

Yang Jiong asked Su Xinghui, "Township Head Su, what wine are you drinking? What about Reporter Lu?"

Su Xinghui said, "Just bring a bottle of Pengwan Daqu, the five-year-old one is fine, and bring another bottle of drink."

Su Xinghui had already seen Pengwan Daqu placed in the cabinet of the restaurant. Now Pengwan Daqu is selling very hotly on the market. Basically, every restaurant in Jiangcheng City is placed with Pengwan Daqu. If Su Xinghui hadn't suppressed the winery and not let them expand blindly, it would be very easy for Pengwan Daqu's annual output value to exceed 100 million now.

If you want to expand the output value, you can just buy wine from other wineries like those wineries that won the bid king on CCTV, and then stick your own trademark on it to sell it. However, Su Xinghui naturally cannot allow them to smash their own signboard like this, and it is best to take it step by step.

Yang Jiong said, "Hmm, Pengwan Daqu is good. I also drink it often. This is the wine produced in your township, Township Head Su. But don't bring the five-year-old one, bring the twenty-year-old one."

Yang Jiong of course knew that the highest grade of Pengwan Daqu sold on the market was the twenty-year-old aged wine. He brought 500 yuan today, and his pocket was warm. He made up his mind to treat them to a good meal. Of course, he would take the best wine. Although this bottle of wine is dozens of yuan, the price of the dishes here is not expensive, and he can afford it.

Su Xinghui understood Yang Jiong's psychology. Since Yang Jiong wanted to thank him, he was not pretentious, just smiling and looking at Yang Jiong. If he refused all of Yang Jiong's good intentions, Yang Jiong would be unnatural instead.

After the wine and drinks were served, Yang Jiong gave the drink to Lu Xiaoya, opened the wine, poured a glass for Su Xinghui and himself, and said, "Township Head Su, I toast you, thank you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Captain Yang, let's drink, don't say thank you or not. It's uncomfortable to be too polite. Let's be more free and easy."

Yang Jiong nodded, "Fine, be more free and easy."

The two touched glasses, raised their heads together, and drank it in one gulp. Seeing Su Xinghui drink so refreshingly, Yang Jiong was even happier. He just liked people who drink refreshingly. He filled Su Xinghui's glass again and then said, "Eat dishes, eat dishes."

Su Xinghui took a bite of the chopped pepper fish head and nodded, "Hmm, this Hunan dish is quite authentic, not bad."

Lu Xiaoya took a bite and praised it repeatedly. Seeing Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya praising the dishes here, Yang Jiong's hanging heart finally let go. If he treated the two to dinner today, but the dishes here were not delicious, it would be embarrassing.

The dishes here are indeed very good, and the three of them ate very satisfactorily. Su Xinghui and Yang Jiong also drank the bottle of wine clean. After drinking, Yang Jiong originally wanted to take another bottle, but Su Xinghui said that it was enough for today, and one bottle was enough. Yang Jiong then gave up and started eating.

After this meal, the relationship between Yang Jiong and Su Xinghui went a step further. Although he still wanted to deepen his relationship with Su Xinghui, he also had a good eye. Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya were obviously shopping, and it would be inappropriate for him to follow them.

So, Yang Jiong laughed out loud, "Township Head Su, I still have something to do at home. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are going to my house in the afternoon, and I have to flatter them. I'll go first. Next time you come to Jiangcheng, if you have anything, just find me."

Su Xinghui smiled and nodded, "Fine, father-in-law and mother-in-law cannot be neglected. If you have anything to go to Shangjun County, you can also just find me."

Yang Jiong was overjoyed. He then waved to Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya, "Fine, Township Head Su, Reporter Lu, I'm leaving. You two take your time shopping."

After speaking, Yang Jiong turned and left. Looking at Yang Jiong's back and hearing him still call her Reporter Lu, Lu Xiaoya also smiled. However, thinking about it, Yang Jiong really couldn't address her well. He liked to call her Reporter Lu, so let him call her.

Su Xinghui asked Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, are we going back to Shangjun County this afternoon, or tomorrow morning?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Let's go back this afternoon. If we go back tomorrow morning, we will definitely be late. I just started working, so it would not be good if I am late."

Su Xinghui nodded. He first returned to the Lu family home with Lu Xiaoya, let Lu Xiaoya rest for a while, and then, after saying a word to Lu Zhenghong and Song Qiaoli, he packed his things, went to the station to catch a bus, and returned to Shangjun County.
