The three happily took the clothes back to the Lu family. Lu Zhenghong didn't go out today; he had been waiting for the three at home. He was also very interested in what the clothes they asked Tailor Zhu to make looked like.

Lu Xiaoya and Su Xinghui first changed into that *qipao* and that beige suit respectively, and showed them to Lu Zhenghong and Grandma Lu. Seeing them wear such beautiful clothes, they all nodded in praise. Grandma Lu smiled from ear to ear: "You wear these clothes, you really look like golden boys and jade girls from heaven!"

Lu Xiaoya said: "We have another set of clothes, let you see it too."

They went into their room again. Lu Xiaoya changed into that wedding dress, and Su Xinghui changed into that white suit. When they came to the living room, this time Lu Zhenghong and his wife and Grandma Lu nodded again. Grandma Lu said: "Your clothes are beautiful, but they are worn by foreigners. Grandma is a bit unaccustomed to seeing them."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Grandma, you are old-fashioned. Now many people in China wear this when they get married; it's not just foreigners who wear it."

Grandma Lu laughed and said: "Okay, Grandma won't be old-fashioned. My granddaughter is getting married, she can wear whatever she wants."

That night, Lu Zhenghong and Su Xinghui, father-in-law and son-in-law, talked for a while in Lu Zhenghong's study as usual. Su Xinghui reported some work situations in the county to Lu Zhenghong, and then he said to Lu Zhenghong: "Dad, I have another thing that needs your help."

Lu Zhenghong rarely heard his capable son-in-law take the initiative to make any requests to him. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What else can you not handle?"

Su Xinghui said: "Dad, you think too highly of me, right? I'm not omnipotent either."

Lu Zhenghong laughed and said: "So you are not omnipotent? You are too capable. There are many things I dare not say I can handle, but you can handle them. This makes me feel very unaccomplished! I feel like I can't help you with anything. So you still have things you need my help with?"

Lu Zhenghong was naturally joking, but his words also had sincere components. Su Xinghui solving the funding for the Shangjun Changjiang Bridge and the expressway, letting the Hou Group settle in Shangjun, letting the French Note Group and Jianggang jointly set up a factory in Pengjiawan Town, letting the Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group build a slaughter base in Changshan County, etc., Lu Zhenghong asked himself that it would be difficult for him to handle them.

But these few things were handled by Su Xinghui. Not only were they handled, but they were handled very beautifully, which made Lu Zhenghong have to admire his ability. And after Su Xinghui went to Changshan County, he fought out a piece of heaven and earth with his bare hands, almost not letting Lu Zhenghong help with anything. To tell the truth, this really made Lu Zhenghong feel a bit unaccomplished.

Now hearing Su Xinghui ask for his help, this really made Lu Zhenghong feel a bit novel.

Su Xinghui said: "Dad, there will be many places where I will ask for your help in the future. As long as you don't find it annoying, it's fine."

Lu Zhenghong nodded happily and said: "Okay, whatever help you want me to give, just say it. I will definitely do my best if I can help you."

Su Xinghui said: "It's like this. I plan to start construction on the Changda Highway, Changmu Highway, and Changshi Highway at the latest by the beginning of next year. Now our county government has sent invitations to the county magistrates and deputy county magistrates in charge of transportation of Dashan County, Muyang County, and Shiyang County, inviting them to come to our Changshan County at the end of the month to discuss the matter of road construction together."

Lu Zhenghong said seriously: "Do you want me to help you solve the funding problem?"

Su Xinghui said: "It would be better if the funding problem could be solved. However, don't worry too much. I still have a way to solve the funding problem. The help I want you to give is mainly about the problem of Shiyang County. Dashan County and Muyang County are both counties in our Yulin City, and the county magistrates are relatively familiar with our County Magistrate Ling. But Shiyang County is not a county in our Yulin City, and we are not very familiar with their county leaders, so I want to ask you to help in this regard."

Lu Zhenghong understood Su Xinghui's meaning immediately. Shiyang County had no subordinate relationship with Yulin City, so it was hard to say whether this Changshi Highway could be built. If he could get along well with the leaders of Shiyang County, then things would be much easier to handle.

In China, sometimes you have to rely on relationships to get things done. If you can build a relationship, some seemingly difficult things can be solved easily.

Shiyang County belonged to Qingshan City, which was east of Yulin City. Qingshan City naturally had nothing to do with Yulin City, and the leaders of Yulin City couldn't manage Qingshan City. However, Lu Zhenghong was a Vice Governor, and he could manage Qingshan City. It was not difficult to find relationships in Qingshan City.

The reason Su Xinghui asked Lu Zhenghong for help was also because he wanted to get this matter done quickly. And in China, bureaucracy is too serious, and work efficiency is low. Even if it is a matter beneficial to Shiyang County, they may not necessarily be able to promote it with all their strength, so it is very necessary to find relationships.

Lu Zhenghong nodded and smiled: "Okay, if I say I can't handle such a small favor you ask me for, then I would be too shameless. How about this, I will help you contact people in Qingshan City tomorrow. After contacting them, I will call you again."

Su Xinghui said happily: "That's great, then thank you!"
