Chapter 1741
This night, he had a phone call with Lu Xiaoya as usual. These days, Grandma Lu's body had long been fine. Lu Xiaoya originally wanted to return to Changshan, but Lu Zhenghong said it would be New Year's Day soon, so just finish New Year's Day in Jiangcheng before going back.
Su Xinghui was also of this opinion. Although the turmoil in Changshan County had settled down, there were still some aftershocks rippling. Su Xinghui didn't want Lu Xiaoya to be affected; she was still pregnant.
Su Xinghui said with a smile, "Xiaoya, it will be New Year's Day in a few days. On New Year's Day, I will go to Jiangcheng to see you and bring you back by the way."
Lu Xiaoya said, "Alright, then I'll wait for you in Jiangcheng."
What made Su Xinghui feel gratified was that after the investigation team's matter ended, he could finally put all his energy into his work. And after the positions of these two deputy county magistrates, Zhao Yangang and Fang Qing, were vacated, more capable people could be pushed up. By then, there would be fewer people in the county government dragging his feet, and more people who could do things.
Regarding the issue of these two candidates, Xue Xingyuan and Ling Anguo took the initiative to seek Su Xinghui's opinion together, because the City Party Committee had already requested the Changshan County Party Committee to recommend candidates to succeed these two deputy county magistrates. And the opinion Xue Xingyuan and Ling Anguo valued most now was naturally Su Xinghui's.
Su Xinghui also recommended the candidates he favored to them. Xue Xingyuan and Ling Anguo naturally all said they would definitely seriously consider the candidates he recommended.
One day at the end of the month, Su Xinghui was working at his desk in his office. His door was knocked. Su Xinghui said "Please come in." The door was pushed open. The person who came in made Su Xinghui a bit stunned. She was Wang Liu.
Su Xinghui was only stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile and said, "Wang Liu, sit down."
Wang Liu nodded at him, didn't close the door, let the door stay half-open like that, and sat down on a guest sofa.
Su Xinghui personally brewed a cup of tea for her, placed it in front of her, and sat down opposite her. He looked at Wang Liu. Wang Liu was still so beautiful, but her face seemed to have a bit more maturity and a bit more vicissitudes than ten-plus days ago.
Of course, these vicissitudes didn't damage her beauty; instead, they gave her a bit more melancholy and a bit more attraction. Having experienced such precipitation, she had now truly become a beauty who could topple the masses.
Wang Liu saw Su Xinghui looking at her, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Have the bruises on my face faded? Have I become ugly?"
Su Xinghui said, "The bruises faded long ago. You are even more beautiful than before."
Wang Liu laughed, "Thank you. Although I know what you said is a lie, I'm still very happy!"
Having experienced so many things, Wang Liu was no longer as reserved as before. She became more free and easy. Such freedom and ease gave her a unique charm.
Su Xinghui shook his head seriously and said, "No, I didn't lie. What I said was the truth."
The smile on Wang Liu's face disappeared. She was silent for a moment and said softly, "How good would it be if I could hear you say such things a few years earlier?"
Su Xinghui was also silent.
Wang Liu raised her head and said to Su Xinghui with a smile, "County Magistrate Su, I'm here to say goodbye to you today."
Su Xinghui said in surprise, "What happened to you?"
Wang Liu said, "I have already divorced my husband today, and I have also submitted a resignation report to the station. I am preparing to leave Changshan County."
Such sudden news left Su Xinghui not knowing what to say.
Wang Liu continued, "The divorce was proposed by my husband, and I agreed. There is no objection to the division of property. I will take my daughter with me. I don't want to stay in Changshan County anymore."
Su Xinghui said, "Then where are you preparing to go?"
Wang Liu said, "I am preparing to go to Yangcheng. I have a good friend there who said she could help me find a job."
Yangcheng was the provincial capital of Yue'nan Province and was also one of the most open and economically developed regions in China at present. With Wang Liu's ability, she would naturally find good opportunities if she went there. But Su Xinghui was still very worried. After all, she was a woman and had to take her daughter alone. This was too difficult.
Su Xinghui said, "Do you have to go there?"
Wang Liu smiled miserably and said, "What else am I staying in Changshan for?"
Su Xinghui was instantly speechless.
Wang Liu then beamed and said, "Don't think too much. My going there has nothing to do with you. I just think the development prospects in Yangcheng are better."
Su Xinghui said, "Do you need me to help you find a job?"
Wang Liu shook her head and said, "No need. I believe in my own ability. However, if I really can't make it, I will still look for you. I hope you won't refuse then."
Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I won't."
Wang Liu stood up, took a videotape out of her bag, placed it in front of Su Xinghui, and said, "This is the videotape of the program recorded that day, but there is no chance to broadcast it. Keep it as a souvenir."
Su Xinghui stood up and said, "Have a safe journey!"
Wang Liu waved at him and walked out of Su Xinghui's office very freely and easily.
