Chapter 1291

Su Xinghui smiled, "I was transferred to Changshan County to work."

Wei Pengfei widened his eyes, "No way? Are you kidding?"

Su Xinghui said, "Why would I be kidding?"

Wei Pengfei said, "I read the newspapers. You were doing great in Shangjun County; why would you want to be transferred to our poor mountain gully in Changshan? This is not comparable to your Meng Meng Hu Ling. If your Meng Meng Hu Ling were compared to our Changshan, it would be a small hill."

Su Xinghui said solemnly, "I was indeed transferred to Changshan County. Don't you know that the province has been conducting cadre rotation recently? I was rotated here by the city."

Wei Pengfei was stunned, "Did you request the rotation yourself, or did someone else make you come?"

Su Xinghui said, "Someone else made me come, but I agreed to it myself."

Wei Pengfei said anxiously, "Are you stupid? Couldn't you have disagreed? What's good about coming to Changshan County? A poor mountain gully with nothing, a place where birds don't lay eggs, and it's not easy to go anywhere."

Su Xinghui said, "This is your hometown; how can you say that?"

Wei Pengfei said, "It is my hometown, so I want to come back to build my hometown. But this is not your hometown; why do you have to come to this poor mountain gully to suffer poverty?"

Su Xinghui knew that Wei Pengfei was genuinely concerned about him, which was why he said that. He was a bit moved in his heart. He smiled, "But I'm already here, so it's too late for you to say that."

Wei Pengfei sighed, "You should have called me before you came. You definitely didn't know the situation here and were deceived. Now that you see the situation in Changshan County, you must be regretting it, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "There's nothing to regret. At least here, I still have you as a brother."

Wei Pengfei's eyes also revealed a look of being moved. He nodded forcefully, "Right, we are good brothers. But I still advise you: stay here for two years and then leave. Your talent shouldn't be buried in this poor mountain gully."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Fine, I'm already here, so let's not talk about this topic. Why are you the only one in your office?"

Wei Pengfei spread his hands, "Isn't it like this in government agencies? By the afternoon, there's no one left. Either they are sleeping at home, or they've found a place to play cards. Anyway, no one will come to handle business in the afternoon."

Su Xinghui said, "Then why don't you go home?"

Wei Pengfei said, "Where would I go? My home is in the countryside, and I live in the Culture Bureau dormitory. Besides, I'm a university student after all, and I can't just waste my days like others."

Su Xinghui said solemnly, "It seems you still maintain some of the true colors of a university student."

Wei Pengfei sighed, "I do want to do something, but there's nothing to do. Look, I'm also just wasting my days reading newspapers. Isn't there someone in society saying that in a government agency, a newspaper, a cup of tea, and a cigarette are enough to waste a day?"

Su Xinghui said, "Staying here must be hard for you."

Wei Pengfei said, "What can I do? It's all like this. I'm not an official, so even if I want to change it, I can't!"

Su Xinghui shook his head and sighed.

Wei Pengfei said, "Xinghui, what position were you transferred to Changshan County to serve? You were already a Town Mayor in Shangjun County. Coming back to Changshan, you must be promoted by one level, right? You wouldn't be our County's Deputy County Magistrate, would you?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "Deputy County Magistrate is impossible. I estimate it will be a Township Party Secretary. The specific location hasn't been decided yet; the county still has to hold a Standing Committee meeting."

Wei Pengfei said with some envy, "You are truly amazing. In less than four years after graduation, you can already be a Township Party Secretary. Like me, I'm still just a clerk with no rank."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Don't be anxious, you will definitely have your day to stand out. By the way, are you married?"

Wei Pengfei said, "Not yet, but I'm dating a girlfriend. It's just that our units don't have houses to distribute, so we can't get married yet. I'll call her and have her come over after work, and we'll have a meal together. It's been a long time since I've eaten with you."

Wei Pengfei picked up the phone on the opposite desk. Su Xinghui saw that this phone was installed in a wooden box, with only the handset left out, and the keyboard of the buttons was locked with a wooden board. Su Xinghui knew that this was a measure taken by some units to prevent employees from making private calls. Without a key, you could only answer, not dial.

Su Xinghui thought Wei Pengfei had a key, but Wei Pengfei took a pencil, skillfully reached under the wooden board, and pressed five keys. In this era, the phone number in the county was only five digits. After the number was dialed, someone answered after a few rings.

Wei Pengfei said, "Is this the Audit Bureau? I'm looking for Cheng Hongli."

Su Xinghui knew that Cheng Hongli was Wei Pengfei's future wife.

Before long, Cheng Hongli answered the phone on the other end. Wei Pengfei said, "Hongli? Come over after you get off work. We'll eat together tonight. Su Xinghui, the classmate who had the best grades in our class in university, has come. Right, I've told you about him. Okay, I'll wait for you after I get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Pengfei asked, "Xinghui, are you married?"

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not married either, but I do have a girlfriend. You know my girlfriend too."

Wei Pengfei said, "I know her? Who is it? It wouldn't be a girl from our class, would it?"

Su Xinghui said, "She is Lu Xiaoya, a junior who was one year below us."

Wei Pengfei suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean her. Fine, you kid are lucky, chasing a school-beauty-level person to your hand."

Su Xinghui smiled, "I guess I have some luck."

Wei Pengfei said, "But you are a great talent, and now you are so capable, so this can be considered a talented man matching a beautiful woman. Now that you've come to Changshan County, what about Lu Xiaoya? Aren't you two living apart in two places again?"

Su Xinghui said, "This is also a matter of no choice. I'll strive to be transferred together in the future."

Wei Pengfei said, "Right, you must be transferred together. Living apart for a long time will affect your relationship."

Su Xinghui asked, "How did you meet your girlfriend?"

Wei Pengfei said, "The Changshan County seat is only this big. I took a fancy to her, so I chased her. She also had a good impression of me. After getting along for a period of time, we confirmed our relationship."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "You kid are good. When you were in school, you were honest and obedient. I didn't expect you to dare to take the initiative to chase a girl."
