Chapter 1294

Wei Pengfei's capacity for liquor was quite ordinary; after only about three liang, he was already somewhat unable to handle the drink, so Su Xinghui drank the rest of the wine himself and didn't let Wei Pengfei have any more.

The three of them swept the food and drink clean, and the greater part of it was eaten by Su Xinghui—his appetite had always been large, and having tasted these delicious dishes, of course his fingers were itching to dig in.

After they finished eating, Wei Pengfei's face was somewhat flushed and his gait a bit unsteady, so Su Xinghui helped Cheng Hongli send Wei Pengfei back to the dormitory of the Cultural Bureau.

Wei Pengfei asked, "Xinghui, where are you living now?"

Su Xinghui said, "The County Committee Office helped me book a room at the County Committee Guesthouse."

Wei Pengfei nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll see each other again tomorrow."

Su Xinghui waved to Wei Pengfei and to Cheng Hongli, who stayed behind to look after him, and went back to the County Committee Guesthouse.

As soon as he arrived at the County Committee Guesthouse, Su Xinghui was surprised to see County Chief Ling Anguo sitting in the lobby, and he said, "County Chief Ling, why are you here?"

Ling Anguo said with a smile, "Little Su, I was waiting here specifically for you."

Su Xinghui hurriedly said he didn't dare accept such attention, and led Ling Anguo back to his own room, brewed him a cup of tea, and the two sat facing each other.

Ling Anguo asked, "Little Su, where did you go this afternoon? I went looking for you to eat and didn't see you anywhere. I heard from the guesthouse attendant that you went to visit a classmate?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I have a college classmate at the Changshan County Cultural Bureau, named Wei Pengfei."

Ling Anguo said, "Oh, you have a college classmate in Changshan County?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, originally he actually had the chance to stay in Jiangcheng, but he said he wanted to come back and build his hometown, so he returned to Changshan County."

Su Xinghui brought up Wei Pengfei in front of Ling Anguo, naturally hoping to draw Ling Anguo's attention—this might benefit Wei Pengfei's future development.

Ling Anguo nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Where did you eat this afternoon?"

Su Xinghui said, "He treated me to a meal at the People's Restaurant. The food there is still quite good, and the buckwheat liquor is also very nice to drink."

Ling Anguo said, "Mm, Changshan County still has quite a few local specialties."

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I see Changshan County has no shortage of treasures. By the way, County Chief, what did you come to find me about today?"

Ling Anguo said with a smile, "Such an outstanding young cadre as yourself coming to our Changshan County—this is the greatest support the city has given to our Changshan County's work! I'm delighted, so I came to have a chat with you."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "Director, you overstate it."

Ling Anguo said, "Not in the slightest. I'm truly overjoyed—you have no idea what that feeling is like. I've seen the miracles you created in Shangjun County, and I feel that, now that you've come to our Changshan County, you will surely be able to work some miracle of your own!"

Su Xinghui said with a smile, "County Chief Ling, you have that much confidence in me? I've come to Changshan County empty-handed, a single person with nothing brought along—what miracle could I possibly create?"
