Chapter 106

Su Xinghui said, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the painting?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Satisfied, but when did you see me catching a butterfly?"

Su Xinghui said, "It was when you were playing in the bamboo forest behind Xia Zhu's house that day. I saw you. I thought you looked especially beautiful at that time, so I remembered it."

Lu Xiaoya asked, "Did I really look especially beautiful?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes!"

Lu Xiaoya's mood inexplicably improved. She smiled and said, "Thank you. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to school! Come to my house to play when you have time!"

After Lu Xiaoya finished speaking, she hung up the phone. She felt her face burning on the other end of the phone. This was the second time in these few days that she had taken the initiative to invite a boy to her house to play. Was this losing the reserve a girl should have?

However, she said to herself in her heart, I just want Dad to help him. Dad is now the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and he should have greater ability to help him.

She was not the kind of shallow girl. Her father was promoted, and she wouldn't show off everywhere, afraid that others wouldn't know she was the daughter of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Therefore, when she told Su Xinghui the address of her new home, she only said what road and what number, and didn't mention the words "Provincial Party Committee compound" at all.

She did this both because she was afraid that Su Xinghui would look down on her, and because she was worried that Su Xinghui would deliberately approach her if he knew her father was promoted. But she really hoped her father could help him. This mentality was very contradictory and not enough to be told to outsiders.

Perhaps the mentality of a little girl is like this.

Poor Su Xinghui hadn't really fallen in love in his past life, so how could he know that Lu Xiaoya's heart had so many twists and turns? He did want to be a guest at Lu Zhenghong's house, but he was also afraid that others would think he was a person who climbed the social ladder, so he was a little afraid to go.

He sighed in his heart, if Lu Zhenghong had been promoted a month or two later, his relationship with the Lu family should have been quite good. Then he and Lu Zhenghong could be considered to have known each other when they were humble, and Lu Zhenghong certainly wouldn't think Su Xinghui approached him with ulterior motives.

Su Xinghui was hesitant, but he simply didn't want to think too much. Anyway, the primary task during this period was to accompany several professors to do a good job in investigation and research.

Several professors had returned to Meng Hu Ling, and they each brought several graduate students. In this way, the progress of their investigation and research work was greatly accelerated. In another two or three days, they could finish the investigation and research and write the investigation report.

Su Xinghui had just thought for a while when the phone rang again. Su Xinghui picked it up and heard it was Xue Qin again. She said excitedly, "Su Xinghui, I read yesterday's 'Yulin Daily.' You're in the newspaper. You're really amazing. I'm really happy for you! Congratulations!"

Su Xinghui could hear the sincere joy in Xue Qin's voice. He couldn't help but be moved. Now Xue Qin didn't call him "Xinghui" but called his full name, which made him feel much more at ease, and this made him willing to say a few words to Xue Qin now.

Su Xinghui said, "Thank you, Xue Qin. I just did a little bit of work."

Xue Qin said, "Old classmate, don't be humble. When are you coming back to the county seat? I must invite you to a meal to celebrate for you."

Xue Qin's kindness was hard to refuse. Su Xinghui thought for a while and said, "I have to accompany those professors to investigate these days, so I can't go back. How about this: the 11th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'll go back then."

Xue Qin said happily, "Okay, that's settled. I won't talk to you anymore, I still have to go to work."

The investigation ended on September 8th. After the investigation, several professors would be assisted by their students to organize the investigation report. The difficulty of this work was not great. The professors had already made quite detailed notes during the investigation, and they only needed to organize them into text, which would take about two days.

The 11th was the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, the professors planned to go back to spend the festival, and by the way, bring the investigation report back to the school, and then come to Meng Hu Ling for further investigation and research.

There were really too many rare animals and plants in the Meng Hu Ling area, which were very worthy of their research. These rare animals and plants also needed these scientific researchers to protect them. They also prepared to apply for a research fund when they returned to the school.

The protection of rare animals and plants was a very energy-consuming and money-consuming thing.

On the 9th, the "Hudong Daily" reprinted the news report about Ye Zhugou Village written by Wang Congliang in the "Yulin Daily" in full, and added an editor's note, highly evaluating the ideas of Ye Zhugou Village for developing the rural economy.

At the same time, the "Hudong Daily" affirmed the concept of agricultural industrialization proposed by Su Xinghui. They believed that if Hudong Province wanted to truly develop its economy well, it must attach importance to both industry and agriculture. Only by walking on two legs could it go the fastest and the steadiest.

This was the first time the party newspaper of Hudong Province proposed the concept of agricultural industrialization, and it was also the first time this concept was proposed nationwide. This concept was still very novel and caused quite a stir throughout the province.

And in Shangjun County, this stir was even greater. For a time, the name Su Xinghui was almost known to everyone.

Some county leaders were also wondering, did Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui find any backing in the province? Otherwise, how could this report be reprinted in the provincial newspaper so quickly?

You know, the layout of the provincial party newspaper was not so easy to arrange. The main layout had been arranged for at least a month later. This report was so long, and it could be reprinted in the provincial newspaper in a few days, which must have squeezed out other reports. This was not a simple thing.

Things in the officialdom were very subtle. Zhang Kaishan was not popular in the county, but as soon as this report was reprinted, Zhang Kaishan's office was immediately crowded with visitors and became lively again.

Zhang Kaishan was actually very confused in his heart. He didn't know why this report was reprinted in the provincial newspaper. He remembered that he didn't have any roots in the province, let alone such a powerful figure.

Of course, Zhang Kaishan was also a person with a deep city. No matter who asked him sideways, he was always calm and confident. This appearance was very bluffing, making many people not dare to neglect him.

Su Xinghui was a little clear in his heart. I'm afraid Lu Zhenghong helped him with this matter, but he couldn't say it out loud now. According to normal reason, he should still not know Lu Zhenghong's identity.

In Meng Hu Ling Township, the ones who were most happy about this were Chen Hongfu and Dong Jianshu. The provincial newspaper reprinted their township's report, and it was a clear-cut support, which also gave them a reassurance, and they valued Su Xinghui even more.

If anyone could have a relationship in the province, then the most likely one was Su Xinghui. He studied in the provincial capital for four years, and didn't he find a way as soon as he looked for it when he went to the provincial capital last time?

Therefore, these days, the leaders of the township government were even more kind when they saw Su Xinghui.

On the afternoon of the 10th, Professor Rao and the others returned to Jiangcheng. Chen Hongfu also had to return to the county seat to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. He brought Su Xinghui along. Su Xinghui hadn't been home for several weeks, and now it was time to rest.

In fact, this trip back to the county seat was not just for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They also made an appointment with Zhang Kaishan to visit the Zhang family tonight.

Since Zhang Kaishan inspected Meng Hu Ling Township, the relationship between Chen Hongfu and Zhang Kaishan had changed somewhat. Now to visit Zhang Kaishan, there was no need to make an appointment through Zhang Cheng, but he called him directly, and Zhang Kaishan also readily agreed to their request for a visit.

Along the way, the old jeep naturally broke down once or twice again. The road was really too difficult to walk. It didn't matter if the car condition was good, but for this kind of old jeep, it would be abnormal if it didn't break down.

Chen Hongfu sighed: "When will this road be repaired?"

Su Xinghui said: "I don't think it will be too long."
