Chapter 1388

Su Xinghui had only been in Changshan County for a little over a month and didn't have much intersection with Xie Linsheng in his work. And Xie Linsheng had always maintained a detached position and wouldn't casually make friends with local cadres, so the two only had a nodding relationship.

If he could meet Xie Linsheng at Wan Yimin's house, that would, of course, be the best. This could bring their relationship closer, and their meeting was in Jiangcheng, so no one in Changshan County would know. At a critical moment, Xie Linsheng might be able to provide him with strong support.

Su Xinghui nodded: "That's fine, then please arrange it, Uncle Wan."

Wan Yimin picked up the phone, dialed a number, and after it connected, he said, "Linsheng? It's me, Wan Yimin. Do you have time now? Fine, come to my house. I'll wait for you in the study."

After hanging up, Wan Yimin left the study and told his wife that he had asked Xie Linsheng to come over. After Xie Linsheng arrived, he was to be sent directly to the study.

Returning to the study, Wan Yimin explained to Su Xinghui: "Xie Linsheng is from Jiangcheng and was a cadre in the Public Security Department. He is my old subordinate. He was transferred to Changshan County to serve as the Public Security Bureau Chief the year before last. However, his home is still in the Public Security Department's dormitory, so he should be here soon."

Su Xinghui suddenly realized. Since Xie Linsheng had this relationship with Wan Yimin, that was truly great.

Wan Yimin added: "Xie Linsheng is an upright person. He came to pay a New Year's call yesterday, and I asked about your situation in Changshan County. He spoke highly of you, saying you are truly a rare cadre who has ability, background, and can sincerely do things for the common people. He said your future is limitless."

Xie Linsheng spoke so highly of him? This surprised Su Xinghui. When he was in Changshan and went to the county seat to handle affairs, he met Xie Linsheng, who just nodded expressionlessly, looking completely serious.

Xie Linsheng arrived very quickly. Just five or six minutes later, he arrived. Wan Yimin's wife opened the study door and brought Xie Linsheng in.

Wan Yimin smiled: "Linsheng, isn't this the Comrade Su Xinghui you spoke so highly of yesterday? Meet him and get to know each other."

Xie Linsheng was in his thirties. Although he was not tall and could only be considered medium height, and his figure couldn't be considered fierce or strong, he exuded an aura of shrewdness and capability. Especially his eyes, which were sharp and spirited. He believed that criminals scanned by his eyes would have a feeling of having nowhere to hide.

Su Xinghui stood up and said with a smile, "Chief Xie, hello!"

Xie Linsheng strode toward Su Xinghui, reached out to shake hands with him, and said, "Secretary Su, hello! I didn't expect us to meet here!"

At this moment, Xie Linsheng was completely different from the serious person he usually saw. He became bold and cheerful, his face full of smiles. He held Su Xinghui's hands, which were also strong and warm, which meant that his heart would not be a dark one.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they both sat down. Su Xinghui smiled: "Chief Xie, I didn't expect you to be Director Wan's old subordinate."

Xie Linsheng said, "I only found out yesterday that you had such a relationship with Director Wan. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Matou Town to drink with you."

Su Xinghui said, "Then you can come to Matou Town to drink with me anytime in the future!"

Xie Linsheng said, "Forget it, I won't add trouble to you. I heard your Matou Town has a new entertainment expense system, and you can't just eat there without official business. If I go, wouldn't that be taking advantage of you?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's fine. If you go, I won't let the town government reimburse it; I'll pay for your drinks privately."

Xie Linsheng shook his head: "That won't do. How can I keep letting you pay privately? Your salary isn't even as high as mine."

Su Xinghui smiled: "Chief Xie, you don't know this, right? I'm rich. I've sold a lot of paintings in the past few years. I can sell a painting for over ten thousand now. What's a few drinks?"

Xie Linsheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. After a while, he said, "Good heavens, you sell a painting for over ten thousand, that's equal to two years of my salary! You really make money. If I had known, I would have learned to paint."

Wan Yimin smiled: "Linsheng, you rough guy, learning to paint? Do you have that talent?"
