Chapter 1627: The Disheveled Zhao Yangang

The next morning, Ling Anguo convened a county magistrate meeting because in one day, the county magistrates and deputy county magistrates in charge of transportation from Dashan, Muyang, and Shiyang counties would be coming. Ling Anguo needed to arrange some work.

When Su Xinghui arrived at the meeting room, he happened to run into Zhao Yangang. He saw Zhao Yangang's face was haggard, looking like he hadn't woken up from a hangover. Su Xinghui nodded and smiled, "County Magistrate Zhao, are you okay last night?"

Seeing Su Xinghui, a trace of hatred flashed in Zhao Yangang's eyes. However, he could only hate in his heart; he couldn't say it out loud.

The five of them drank with Su Xinghui alone, and they were the ones who invited him. As a result, Su Xinghui was fine, but he, Zhao Yangang, got drunk. It was too shameful to tell anyone.

Zhao Yangang tried his best to act as if nothing had happened and laughed, "Fine, fine."

Su Xinghui laughed, "Then shall I invite you to drink tonight, County Magistrate Zhao?"

Hearing the words "drink," Zhao Yangang felt nauseous. He tried his best to suppress the urge to vomit and said, "Forget it, forget it. Your sister-in-law told me to drink less. Sigh, you'll know when you get married in the future."

Seeing Zhao Yangang's pale face, Su Xinghui laughed and went to his seat to sit down.

Shi Ronghuai followed them into the meeting room, heard their conversation, and asked, "Did you drink last night?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, County Magistrate Fang and County Magistrate Zhao called me to drink, so I drank a little with them."

Fang Qing had arrived at the meeting room before them. She said awkwardly, "Yes, I invited County Magistrate Su to drink yesterday, but County Magistrate Zhao drank too much."

Shi Ronghuai said, "You dared to invite County Magistrate Su to drink? Don't you know County Magistrate Su has a massive capacity?"

Zhao Yangang heard them talking about drinking and finally couldn't hold it anymore. He covered his mouth and rushed out, obviously going to the restroom. When he rushed to the door, he almost bumped into Ling Anguo.

Watching Zhao Yangang rush to the restroom, Ling Anguo asked strangely, "What's wrong with Old Zhao?"

Shi Ronghuai said, "He drank with County Magistrate Su last night and drank too much."

Ling Anguo knew Su Xinghui's capacity. Hearing this, he thought, isn't this asking for trouble? But he didn't say much, returned to his seat, did the preparatory work, and waited for Zhao Yangang to return.

Zhao Yangang returned after a few minutes, his face even worse. Ling Anguo asked, "County Magistrate Zhao, your face doesn't look good. Do you want to go home and rest?"

Zhao Yangang shook his head, "No need, County Magistrate. Let's start the meeting."

Ling Anguo said to everyone, "Everyone should know that tomorrow, guests from the three counties of Dashan, Muyang, and Shiyang will come to our county. This time they are here for the three roads connecting to our county. If these three roads can be completed and opened to traffic as scheduled, it will be of great significance to our county's economic development. So we are holding this county magistrate meeting today to discuss how to do a good job in reception. I hope everyone will speak freely."

Ling Anguo's expectant gaze looked at Shi Ronghuai. Shi Ronghuai remained calm. Speak freely? Wasn't this road construction work under Su Xinghui's charge? If the road was built, it would all be his political achievement. Why call them to a county magistrate meeting to discuss this?

However, Ling Anguo was staring at him, so he couldn't not speak. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This work is mainly under Comrade Su Xinghui's charge. I'm not very familiar with it, so I won't say much. I'll do a good job in logistics support."

Except for Su Xinghui, the other deputy county magistrates were quite perfunctory. But this was normal; it wasn't work under their charge anyway. Saying too much or doing too much would be thankless.

Ling Anguo didn't expect them to help much either. He held this county magistrate meeting just to show the importance of this work. As long as these people didn't make trouble, it was fine.

After they all finished speaking, Ling Anguo made a concluding speech and announced the end of the meeting. He asked Su Xinghui to go to his office.

In Ling Anguo's office, Ling Anguo asked about what happened last night.

Su Xinghui told Ling Anguo about Fang Qing inviting him to drink and everything that happened later. Ling Anguo frowned as soon as he heard it. He naturally knew Zhao Yangang and Fang Qing didn't have good intentions. He said angrily, "Are these people going too far?"

Su Xinghui felt it was nothing. Since he stepped into his official career, he hadn't felt a day without hostility and malice from others. He had encountered people wanting to get him drunk several times. Of course, every time, others suffered. If he had to care about everyone, he wouldn't have the energy to think about other things.

Of course, if there was a chance, he wouldn't mind hitting these people hard.

Su Xinghui laughed, "It's fine, County Magistrate. Anyway, County Magistrate Zhao got drunk, and I didn't."

Thinking of Zhao Yangang's disheveled appearance, Ling Anguo laughed, "He bumped into the gun barrel. But their behavior is wrong. You drank so much liquor, are you really okay?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "Really okay."

Ling Anguo said, "Don't drink with them next time. No matter what, drinking too much is always bad."

Su Xinghui laughed, "I estimate they won't dare to ask me to drink again."

Ling Anguo said, "In the future, no matter who asks you to drink, you can call me. I can at least take care of you."

Su Xinghui felt Ling Anguo's deep concern and nodded, "Okay, County Magistrate, I'll definitely call you next time."

Ling Anguo said, "Those county magistrates will be here tomorrow. The other deputy county magistrates can't be counted on much, so you still have to take on more work. These two days, you'll have to work hard."

Su Xinghui said, "It's fine, County Magistrate. This is my duty, and it's what I should do."

Ling Anguo nodded and said, "After this matter is finished, you go back. Spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, and then prepare for your wedding. This is a major event in your life, so you can't be careless."

Su Xinghui said, "County Magistrate, no need, right? I plan to go back on the 29th."

Ling Anguo said, "No, this is my order. You have put enough energy into Changshan County. Now you are getting married, so go home and spend more time with your parents. Work is important, but family is also important."

Ling Anguo's words moved Su Xinghui deeply. He nodded, "Okay, County Magistrate, then I'll go back the day after tomorrow afternoon. On National Day, you must attend my wedding." ===== CHAPTER 1629 =====
