Chapter 1139

Su Xinghui originally wanted to keep Yin Zuogang for a meal, but Yin Zuogang had to rush back to the factory. He was busy every day, so he immediately got in his car and returned to the county seat.

Su Xinghui sent Yin Zuogang's car out of the town government compound and watched him go. Before he could return to the courtyard, he saw a Santana drive over, screech to a halt, and stop at the entrance of the town government. A person got out from inside, and it was none other than Min Tong.

Su Xinghui laughed, "Min Tong, you haven't been here for a long time either. Come, let's go to my office and sit for a while."

The two entered Su Xinghui's office, and Min Tong said excitedly, "Our factory's mineral water is extremely popular now. The goods shipped out every day are in short supply, and people are calling from everywhere asking for goods. I just came back from seeing distributors in Jiangcheng, and when I saw you standing by the road, I came to talk to you. It looks like our factory will have to increase production again this year."

Su Xinghui laughed, "That's great. As long as it can be sold, increasing production is a good thing."

Min Tong said, "In the second half of this year, the first batch of fruit trees planted in Menghuling will also start bearing fruit. By then, our factory's fruit juice drinks can also start production."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but think of the fruit trees in Menghuling. He had watched the common people plant those fruit trees one by one. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In a flash, three years were about to pass, and the fruit trees planted back then were also about to bear fruit.

Su Xinghui sighed, "Time really passes quickly."

Min Tong said, "Yeah, you've been away from Menghuling for more than a year. The people in Menghuling still often talk about you, saying that when the fruit bears, they must invite you back to Menghuling to let you taste the first batch of fruit from Menghuling."

Su Xinghui fell silent. He also wanted to return to Menghuling, but he always had a feeling of "the closer to home, the more timid one feels" regarding Menghuling. The last time he returned to Menghuling was when he went with Hou Guangbi to take a look. Now, if the people in Menghuling were to invite him back, he would really feel some palpitations.

Especially when thinking of the pure eyes of a beautiful girl, Su Xinghui felt palpitations endlessly.

Min Tong said, "Don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course I want to go back and take a look. I want to see what Menghuling looks like now, and I also want to taste what the first batch of fruit grown in Menghuling tastes like. However, whenever I think about returning to Menghuling, I feel a bit afraid."

Min Tong could understand this emotion of Su Xinghui's, and he nodded silently.

After a long while, Min Tong said, "Do you know? That kid Feng Yuandong is pursuing Xia Zhu now."

Su Xinghui asked with some surprise, "Are you telling the truth? Feng Yuandong is pursuing Xia Zhu?"

Min Tong nodded, "Yeah, he's been pursuing Xia Zhu for half a year."

Su Xinghui said, "If Feng Yuandong and Xia Zhu become a couple, that would be a good thing."

Feng Yuandong is the son of Feng Quanjie and is currently the person in charge of the Menghuling branch of the Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory. He can also be called young and promising, and his personal conditions and personality are both very good. Su Xinghui actually likes him quite a bit.

If he could become a couple with Xia Zhu, the two would be quite a good match, and Xia Zhu could also be considered to have found a good home.

Su Xinghui, of course, knew Xia Zhu's feelings for him, but he had Lu Xiaoya and couldn't have it both ways. Therefore, he couldn't accept Xia Zhu's feelings. Now Xia Zhu wasn't exactly young anymore, she was already twenty-two, and she still didn't have a partner, which made Su Xinghui feel a bit uneasy.

He, of course, hoped that Xia Zhu could have a good partner, and Feng Yuandong, from any perspective, could be considered a good partner for Xia Zhu.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui subconsciously glanced at the Seagull watch on his wrist. This watch was a gift from Xia Zhu. This watch wasn't expensive, but Su Xinghui had always worn it.

Even if he and Xia Zhu couldn't become partners, Xia Zhu was still his friend. This watch was a precious gift from a friend, and he didn't want to change to another watch.

Min Tong said, "Feng Yuandong is pursuing her very closely, but Xia Zhu hasn't shown any indication."

Su Xinghui asked, "Why is that?"

Min Tong smiled and said to him, "Don't you know why?"

Su Xinghui immediately realized that he had asked a foolish question.

Min Tong said, "Anyway, the reason she gave Feng Yuandong is that she has to take care of her family and must let her younger brother and sister graduate from college and find jobs before she can get married."

Su Xinghui could only remain silent. Min Tong said, "Feng Yuandong said he was willing to take care of her family with her, but Xia Zhu still didn't agree. Xinghui, you've caused a lot of trouble!"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "What do you want me to do? I also know that the person I've let down the most is her, but if I were to have it both ways, I would be letting down two people at the same time. So, it's better to have a long pain than a short one. I hope she can move on soon. Feng Yuandong is a good partner."

Min Tong said, "Feng Yuandong has been persistent. He has declared that he won't marry anyone but Xia Zhu, which has made his father very anxious."

Could Feng Quanjie not be anxious? Feng Yuandong is his eldest son and also his heir. He is now twenty-seven years old and has long reached the age for marriage. He says he won't marry anyone but Xia Zhu, but Xia Zhu refuses to marry him. Hasn't this become a dead end?

Su Xinghui is very steady no matter what he encounters, but now hearing this news, he felt a bit bewildered. He couldn't help but ask, "Min Tong, can you find a way to persuade Xia Zhu?"

Min Tong shook his head, "Aren't you giving me a bad idea? How can I persuade Xia Zhu? In my opinion, the person who tied the bell must untie it. This matter can only be solved by you. For example, if you were to get married, maybe Xia Zhu would give up on you completely, and she might accept Feng Yuandong."

Su Xinghui didn't know what to do either. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe you're right, but I'm a town mayor now and have to respond to the country's call for late marriage and late childbearing. I have to wait until I'm twenty-five to get married, so I still have to wait more than a year."

Min Tong said, "Anyway, you have to keep this in mind. You've delayed that girl, and your sin is not light."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Min Tong."

Min Tong said, "We're good brothers, why be so polite? By the way, my son is about to be born. When he's born, you be his godfather!"

Su Xinghui laughed, "Are you sure it's a son? Maybe it's a daughter?"

Min Tong said with full confidence, "It's definitely a son. I have a feeling. Anyway, you have to be his godfather."

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, when he's born, I'll be his godfather."
