Chapter 1305: Human hearts can be used

The next day, County Party Committee Organization Department Deputy Minister Liu Changsheng sent Su Xinghui to Matou Town to take up his post. Actually, with Su Xinghui's background, it wouldn't have been excessive for Xu Yulai to personally send Su Xinghui to take up his post. However, Xu Yulai knew that Xue Xingyuan didn't really welcome Su Xinghui, so he certainly wouldn't personally send Su Xinghui, lest he annoy Xue Xingyuan.

However, if he only sent a section chief of the cadre section to send Su Xinghui, the level would be too low. After all, Su Xinghui still had a background, and Xu Yulai didn't want to offend him either. So, he sent Liu Changsheng to send Su Xinghui. He also explained to Su Xinghui, saying that he originally wanted to send Su Xinghui, but had some urgent matters, so he couldn't send him, and let Deputy Minister Liu send him off on his behalf.

Su Xinghui was as clear as a mirror in his heart. He certainly knew why Xu Yulai did this, but he certainly wouldn't say it out loud, and he would even less hold a grudge against Xu Yulai because of this. He wasn't that narrow-minded.

He smiled faintly and said, "Minister Xu, go ahead and get busy if you have matters."

Liu Changsheng was a very talkative person. As soon as he got into the jeep, he started talking to Su Xinghui, "Secretary Su, to tell you the truth, I really admire you. You can come to our Changshan County from Shangjun County, which has such good conditions; this is not an easy thing."

Su Xinghui smiled faintly and said, "Minister Liu, I am just obeying the organization's arrangements."

Liu Changsheng said, "Don't be humble. In the past, it wasn't that the city hadn't sent cadres to Changshan. Some cadres, upon hearing they were transferred to Changshan, were unwilling to come, looking for connections and finding ways, trying every means not to come to report. Some people, although they came, their hearts were not here, asking for leave to go home every three days, and their work was not active, muddling through for two years here before hurriedly transferring away."

Su Xinghui said, "Minister Liu, then aren't you afraid that I am also that kind of person?"

Liu Changsheng shook his head and said, "No."

Su Xinghui said, "Why?"

Liu Changsheng said, "You wouldn't be that kind of person. I have read your report. When you were assigned after graduation, you could have stayed in Jiangcheng, but you actively requested to go to Meng Hu Ling Township, which is the most remote mountain township in your county, and you made outstanding achievements there. I believe you won't be muddling through your days when you come to our Changshan County."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but be a bit surprised. This Deputy Minister Liu actually knew him so well. He smiled slightly and said, "Minister Liu, since you have said so, then I really wouldn't be embarrassed to muddle through my days in Changshan County."

Liu Changsheng said, "Secretary Su, do you know how the name of Matou Town came about? There is a Matou Mountain here, and the shape of the mountain is very much like the head of a fine horse. Moreover, this place is rich in Matou goats. By the way, have you eaten the meat of Matou goats? This is a specialty of our Changshan County."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I have already eaten it. Two days ago, I ate with my university classmate, and he treated me to mutton hot pot, which was made with Matou goat meat. The taste was indeed quite good."

Liu Changsheng said, "Actually, our Changshan County has quite a few good things; it's just that they can't be transported out!"

Su Xinghui nodded.

The two of them talked and chatted on the road, and it was quite congenial. This Deputy Minister Liu's character was relatively straightforward, not as deep in the city as ordinary organization cadres, which was quite to Su Xinghui's taste.

Matou Town was only a dozen kilometers away from the Changshan County seat. However, because it was a mountain road and the road conditions were poor, and there were quite a few trucks coming and going along the road, the jeep couldn't be driven fast. Liu Changsheng said, "These trucks dragging stones are really ruining things, pressing the highway until it's broken."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, these trucks are indeed ruining things."

When Liu Changsheng said this, he just said it casually. After saying it, he remembered whose trucks these were, and he secretly regretted his slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking about this topic.

After about thirty or forty minutes, the car finally arrived at Matou Town and drove directly into the courtyard of the town government. On the town street, Su Xinghui looked around. The town street of Matou Town was also desolate, and the courtyard of the town government was not much better. Even the signs hanging on both sides of the gate were very dilapidated, and even the paint on them had fallen off, looking like it wasn't a proper appearance.

Entering the courtyard, the jeep stopped. Liu Changsheng and Su Xinghui got out of the car, and immediately a group of cadres came out to greet them. A middle-aged man in the lead laughed, "Minister Liu is here. Is this Secretary Su?"

Liu Changsheng laughed, "Town Head Ma, this is Comrade Su Xinghui. Now he is the Party secretary of your Matou Town."

This middle-aged man was Town Head Ma Sheng. As soon as he heard Liu Changsheng's words, he hurriedly took the lead in applauding and said, "Welcome, welcome Secretary Su to come to our Matou Town to work!"

Everyone applauded. Su Xinghui pressed his hand down and said with a smile, "Thank you all. Don't be like this. From now on, we will all be working together. We are all comrades, don't be so polite."

Everyone stopped applauding. Ma Sheng said, "Then please go to the auditorium, Minister Liu and Secretary Su. We have already prepared a welcome ceremony."

Liu Changsheng and Su Xinghui followed Ma Sheng toward the town government auditorium. The town government auditorium was a large room of nearly two hundred square meters. A banner welcoming Su Xinghui had already been hung in front of the rostrum. A dozen seats were prepared on the rostrum, and more than ten rows of long tables were placed below the rostrum, with a dozen seats behind each row. Those cadres had already taken their respective seats.

Ma Sheng diligently let Liu Changsheng and Su Xinghui sit in the center of the rostrum, then sat down in front of the microphone and said to the microphone, "Today we happily welcome our new town Party secretary, Comrade Su Xinghui. Comrade Su Xinghui is an excellent young cadre exchanged from another place to our county. Everyone, use warm applause to welcome the arrival of Comrade Su Xinghui."

The dozens of town cadres and village branch secretaries and directors below the stage applauded, and the applause was very warm, only gradually subsiding after a long time.

Ma Sheng continued, "Next, please have Comrade Liu Changsheng, Deputy Minister of the County Party Committee Organization Department, speak. Everyone, welcome." ===== CHAPTER 1307 =====
