So arrogant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng said: \"Who opened it? Shan Xiaolong, Tao Yanbin, Xu Hua, and Qian Dapeng. The gambling den they have there is much bigger than the one you caught at Menghuling. Who would dare to raid it? Who could raid it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui actually knew about this Great Tycoon Entertainment City. He also knew it was opened by these few guys. Legend had it that the quality of the young ladies inside was the highest, and it was also the safest. Moreover, many officials, in order to curry favor with Shan Guozhi and the others, would go there for any social engagements. Therefore, business there was exceptionally booming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shan Xiaolong and his gang relied on this Great Tycoon Entertainment City to make a huge profit. Later, they went on to contract mines and engage in real estate. Twenty years later, they truly became great tycoons with hundreds of millions in assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many wealthy bosses went to gamble in the casino inside the Great Tycoon. This included people from the Yulin region and even Jiangcheng. What they were after, of course, was the safety there. With the County Magistrate and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee who also served as the Public Security Bureau Chief acting as their backers, it would be impossible for it not to be safe there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoguang said: \"So it was opened by them. Then if you, Wu Jun, go to raid it, I'm afraid you'll really get beaten up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wu Jun said: \"Just getting beaten up is a small matter. If the leaders find out, I'm afraid I'll also be disciplined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about them. Let's eat properly and not let them ruin our appetite. Those who commit many injustices are doomed to self-destruction. If they do too much evil, they will face retribution sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng nodded and said: \"Fine, let's not talk about these sordid matters. By the way, Xue Qin, are you going to Menghuling after New Year's Day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xue Qin nodded and said: \"Yes, I'll rest for two days on the first and second, then I'll be going to Menghuling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoguang said: \"Then why don't you come with us on the morning of the third? I'll drive, and Xinghui will be coming along too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xue Qin was clearly somewhat tempted, but she still shook her head and said: \"Forget it. On the third, the leaders of the bureau are going to send me off. The bureau has a car, so I won't go with you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What Xue Qin said made sense. As a deputy director, this was her first time reporting to Menghuling, so their bureau had to have a leader send her off. This could also be considered encouragement for her initiative to request to go to a remote area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng said: \"Then work hard. I have high hopes for you. Xinghui described that place so well; your station's performance will definitely be good in the future. Who knows, after another year or two, you might be up for a promotion again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xue Qin glanced at Su Xinghui and said: \"Don't misunderstand. I'm not going for the sake of this deputy director position. Whether I get promoted or not doesn't matter to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng laughed: \"Alright, stop explaining. We all know why you're going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xue Qin's face turned a bit red. She picked up her glass as if to cover it up and said: \"Come, Su Xinghui, I'll toast you. Once I'm in Menghuling, you must look after me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"That goes without saying, you're my classmate. Not to mention anything else, if you need to go to the countryside, no matter which village you go to, just mention my name and say you're my classmate, and the village cadres there will definitely treat you with hospitality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui wasn't bragging. During this period, he had been running to every village very diligently, and he was a necessary hurdle for any village cadre wanting to apply for special funds. How could those village cadres not be polite to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xue Qin nodded and said: \"Alright, then I'm relieved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone had a very happy meal. After finishing, Su Xinghui pulled Zhang Cheng aside. He asked Zhang Cheng to go home and ask his father when he would have time tomorrow, as he and Chen Hongfu wanted to report their work to his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng, of course, agreed without hesitation. He said he would call Su Xinghui after he got home and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoguang drove everyone home. After Su Xinghui got home, Guo Suhua asked: \"Have you eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"I have, I ate with Zhang Cheng and Xu Xiaoguang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Suhua said crossly: \"You haven't been home for over a month, and even when you return, you go out to eat. Do you treat this home as a hotel, only coming back to sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His mother's dissatisfaction made Su Xinghui realize that he was indeed somewhat in the wrong. He quickly said to Guo Suhua with a cheeky smile: \"Mom, don't be angry. I came back in Xu Xiaoguang's car today and had some business with Zhang Cheng, so we just ate together. I can rest for two days this time, and I won't go out to eat for these two days. I'll cook for you and Dad. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Suhua looked at his expression and couldn't help but laugh: \"That's more like it. Your sister's family is coming back tomorrow, so we'll all be waiting for you to cook for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded and said: \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Wenjun, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, heard the conversation between mother and son and couldn't help but laugh as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the phone rang. Su Wenjun picked it up casually, said one sentence, and then handed the receiver to Su Xinghui: \"It's for you, Zhang Cheng is looking for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui picked up the phone and said \"Hello,\" and heard Zhang Cheng say: \"My dad said, you guys can come over at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"Alright, we'll be there on time tomorrow morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hanging up, Su Xinghui called Chen Hongfu's house to tell him the time for going to Zhang Kaishan's house tomorrow. Chen Hongfu said he would definitely arrive on time tomorrow morning, and then hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Suhua said: \"You're really busy now. You just got back and the phone hasn't stopped ringing. You're going out again tomorrow morning, right? It looks like we can't count on that cooking you promised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"How could that be? It won't take long to go to County Magistrate Zhang's house tomorrow. I'll definitely be back to cook at noon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Wenjun said: \"Old Guo, say less. Our son is doing proper work. Don't you want our son to have a future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Suhua, of course, knew that Su Xinghui was doing proper work, but she was a woman, and having not seen her son for so long, she had to nag a little. Hearing Su Wenjun's words, she said to her son: \"Xinghui, if you have proper business, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about the cooking, Mom will do it, it's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui shook his head and said: \"No, I will definitely cook for you tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Suhua heard this and smiled happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Wenjun said: \"Then don't rush, don't delay your proper business. Isn't your Secretary Chen going to report work to County Magistrate Zhang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui laughed: \"It's fine, Dad. Our township's work report has already been sent to the county. What else is there to report? Secretary Chen just wants to get closer to the leader. It won't take too long tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Su Wenjun hadn't worked in officialdom, hospitals had commonalities with officialdom. His colleagues would also try every possible way to find opportunities to talk more with the Dean. He could understand this logic, so he nodded and went back to reading the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Su Xinghui got up. He went jogging to the market to buy a basket of vegetables, then had breakfast and went to the gate of the County Committee compound. It was exactly 7:50, and Chen Hongfu was already waiting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two went to Zhang Kaishan's house together. After entering, Zhang Kaishan received them cordially.\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-16T17:50:40.887Z","2026-06-17T08:56:06.694Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","87c8f58f4aee8318292434166eb88e3af0a60cad003829dee0c3f412a3c91e6f","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-110","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-108",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
