Chapter 1240

Su Xinghui said, "He has also worked hard these past few days. After I go to Jiangcheng tomorrow, I will hurry back to the town. After all, one's primary job must be done well."

Zhang Kaishan smiled and nodded, and Su Xinghui stood up to say goodbye.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya left the Zhang family. He said to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, tomorrow is Friday. I'm going to Jiangcheng tomorrow to see Uncle Lu. You should go back too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back home with you tomorrow."

Su Xinghui said, "Then I'll send you back to the dormitory first, and I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Su Xinghui sent Lu Xiaoya home. He didn't go home immediately but went to Zhuangyuan Lane to see Hou Guangbi. Every time he returned to the county town, he had to pay a visit to Hou Guangbi.

Hou Guangbi was sitting in the courtyard of Hou Dali's house, chatting with Hou Dali and his wife. Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, he smiled and said, "Xinghui, you're back."

Su Xinghui sat down and nodded, saying, "I'm back."

Hou Dali's wife poured a cup of tea for Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui nodded in thanks and took the tea. Hou Guangbi said, "I heard from Wenhai a few days ago that you went to Qingyang City?"

Su Xinghui hadn't intended to tell Hou Guangbi about his trip to Qingyang City, but since Hou Guangbi brought it up himself, he could only nod and say, "Yes, I went to Qingyang City."

Hou Guangbi asked casually, "Why were you gone for several days? You are the mayor of Shangjun County; you shouldn't be going to Qingyang on official business, right?"

Su Xinghui didn't want to tell Hou Guangbi the whole truth; the truth was too dark and might affect Hou Guangbi's perception of the mainland. So he said vaguely, "A friend encountered some trouble there, and I went over to help him out."

Hou Guangbi looked at Su Xinghui with appreciative eyes and nodded, saying, "You have the spirit of an ancient knight-errant willing to go through fire and water for a friend. Was the matter resolved?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "It has been resolved."

Hou Guangbi smiled and said, "It's good that it's resolved. Dali and I were just talking about him opening a shop. You should join in and help him come up with some ideas."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Hou wants to open a shop? Is it still to sell stamps?"

Hou Dali smiled and said, "Yes, although I can be considered to have money now, I can't just idle at home every day. I'm not old yet; if I idle at home every day, I'm afraid my bones will rust. Xinghui, tell me, should I open a shop in the old town or the new town?"

In the current Shangjun County town, with the upcoming completion of the County Committee and County Government office building project in the eastern suburbs, many administrative units have also begun to build new office buildings nearby. Real estate developers have also begun to develop commercial housing along the avenue from the eastern suburbs to Zhong Ming Lake Park. This has gradually divided Shangjun County town into an old town and a new town.

The old town is the original Shangjun County town, while the new town is the two urban areas that have gradually developed in the east and south directions of the original county town, centered on the new County Committee and County Government office building and Zhong Ming Lake Park, respectively. One area is mainly an administrative district, and the other is mainly a residential district. The area of the new town is at least two to three times that of the old town in the plan. ===== CHAPTER 1242 =====
