Chapter 1771

Returning to Changshan County, it was already the tenth day of the first lunar month. Su Xinghui reported the situation of this trip to Jingcheng to Ling Anguo and Shi Ronghuai. He told them that he would go to Guangdong the next day, also for the project. Both of them told him to go ahead and not worry about the affairs in the county.

Su Xinghui was preparing to go to Guangdong. That afternoon, an unexpected guest came to Changshan County to visit him.

This person was Tian Xiaopeng.

Su Xinghui was processing some documents in his office that afternoon, then met some of his subordinates, listened to their work reports, and then talked to An Dachang. He estimated that he would be in Guangdong for two or three days, so he asked An Dachang to temporarily take over his work.

Although Shi Ronghuai's relationship with Su Xinghui is good now, Su Xinghui trusts An Dachang more in terms of ability and integrity, so he would rather let An Dachang take over his work.

Just after talking to An Dachang, Yin Hualong came and said to Su Xinghui: "County Magistrate Su, you have a guest looking for you."

Su Xinghui asked casually: "Who is it?"

Yin Hualong said: "He said he is your old acquaintance, and he has been waiting for more than an hour."

Su Xinghui said: "Please invite him in."

Yin Hualong went out, and after a while, he brought a person in. This person was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a gray suit, looking elegant. However, in Su Xinghui's view, his temperament was always a bit soft, making people feel uncomfortable.

This person was naturally Tian Xiaopeng. Su Xinghui was very surprised and a bit unhappy. He had just returned to Changshan today, and Tian Xiaopeng came to visit. This was timing his return perfectly. This gave Su Xinghui a feeling of being monitored.

Tian Xiaopeng smiled and said: "County Magistrate Su, long time no see. How have you been?"

Su Xinghui laughed and said: "I was wondering which old acquaintance it was; it turns out to be County Magistrate Tian. Since you are well, how dare I be unwell?"

The two clashed secretly as soon as they met. However, Yin Hualong didn't hear it. He only thought this was a way for two old friends to joke. He made a cup of tea for Tian Xiaopeng and went out.

Su Xinghui and Tian Xiaopeng sat down as host and guest, and then asked: "County Magistrate Tian just took office, right? Why did you come to our Changshan County as soon as you took office?"

Tian Xiaopeng said: "I took office in Huangqiu County on the eighth day. Now we are neighbors. How can I not visit you, an old acquaintance, first?"

Su Xinghui said: "Our neighbors seem to be a bit far away."

Between Huangqiu County and Changshan County, there is Dashan County in between. It is indeed a bit far, about 30 or 40 kilometers apart, and the distance between the county seats of the two counties is even further.

Tian Xiaopeng said: "A slightly distant neighbor is still a neighbor. Does County Magistrate Su not welcome me, a neighbor, to visit?"

Su Xinghui laughed and said: "That depends on what County Magistrate Tian is here for. Isn't there a lyric? 'When friends come, there is good wine!'"

Su Xinghui omitted the second half: "If the jackals come, there are hunting guns to greet them."

However, Tian Xiaopeng naturally heard the meaning omitted by Su Xinghui. He didn't take offense and smiled slightly: "I actually want to drink a few cups of wine with County Magistrate Su."

Su Xinghui was secretly vigilant. Meeting Tian Xiaopeng this time, he felt that Tian Xiaopeng was more difficult to deal with.

It can be said that the hatred between him and Tian Xiaopeng is deep, but he was able to take the initiative to visit him like nothing happened. He stabbed him a few words, but he had no reaction and kept laughing and talking with him. This depth made Su Xinghui feel a bit terrible.

However, Tian Xiaopeng was always polite. If Su Xinghui kept stabbing him with words, it would appear petty. He also smiled slightly: "It is very easy for County Magistrate Tian to want to drink. There will naturally be official receptions later. I am very willing to drink a few cups with County Magistrate Tian."

Tian Xiaopeng nodded: "That's a deal. I have always heard that County Magistrate Su has a 'sea-like' capacity, so I want to see it. However, don't misunderstand. I am not competing with you in drinking. My drinking capacity is average, and I am definitely not your opponent. If I drink a few more cups, I will fall down."

Su Xinghui said: "Alright, I won't compete with you in drinking, so as not to let others say I am bullying people. However, County Magistrate Tian, what exactly are you here for?"

Tian Xiaopeng said: "To tell you the truth, I am here to ask for your advice."

Su Xinghui said: "What does County Magistrate Tian want to ask for advice on?"

Tian Xiaopeng said: "Of course, I want to ask for your advice on how to engage in the economy."

Su Xinghui laughed loudly: "County Magistrate Tian can really tell jokes. You are a high-achieving student in the Economics and Management Department of Jingcheng University. How could you think of asking me, a graduate of the Chinese Department of Jiangcheng University, how to engage in the economy? Isn't it funny to say this?"

Tian Xiaopeng said with a normal face: "I am not joking. I am sincerely asking for your advice. That experience in Shangjun County gave me a great lesson. I found that although I studied economics in university, it was just 'talking on paper.' In how to develop the economy, I still have a big gap with you!"

Su Xinghui put away his smile and said: "County Magistrate Tian is serious?"

Tian Xiaopeng nodded: "I am of course serious. Where I fell, I must get up. I must be a good county magistrate. Since I am the county magistrate of Huangqiu County, I have the responsibility and obligation to lead the people of the whole county to develop the economy. However, I really have no bottom in my heart. County Magistrate Su has been doing well in Changshan County for over a year, so I came to ask for your advice to see how to develop the economy of Huangqiu County."

Looking at Tian Xiaopeng's incomparably sincere face, Su Xinghui's heart couldn't help but beat a drum. If he said that Tian Xiaopeng had changed his nature, he would never believe it. He knew Tian Xiaopeng's nature too clearly, and he could see that his temperament was becoming more and more gloomy when he saw Tian Xiaopeng now. This person was becoming more and more terrible, and it was impossible for him to change his nature.

Then what kind of ghost idea is Tian Xiaopeng playing by visiting him today? Is he really here to ask for his advice?

However, this is not strange. In developing the economy, even if Tian Xiaopeng is a high-achieving student in the Economics and Management Department of Jingcheng University, Su Xinghui is incomparably confident that he can throw him several streets away. After that setback, as long as Tian Xiaopeng is not stupid, he must admit this.

Tian Xiaopeng wants to make a comeback, and he also needs political achievements. Coming to Huangqiu, a mountainous county, he really needs to rely on Su Xinghui if he wants to develop Huangqiu's economy in the short term. It is not impossible for him to come to Su Xinghui to learn from his experience.

However, is Tian Xiaopeng really well-intentioned? Su Xinghui still doesn't believe it. If Tian Xiaopeng really wants to achieve political achievements and climb up from the position of county magistrate, he can choose a county with better foundations and natural conditions. Su Xinghui believes that Shen Zhongtian's uncle still has this ability. But he insisted on coming to Huangqiu County to stay with Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui doesn't believe he has no ideas.

Then, how should he deal with Tian Xiaopeng asking for his advice?

After pondering for a moment, Su Xinghui made a decision. If he wants to ask for advice, he will teach everything he knows. Even if Tian Xiaopeng learns all his skills, so what?

Tian Xiaopeng is now the county magistrate of Huangqiu County. Huangqiu County is a large county with more than 500,000 people. It is also a poor county, poor to the point of clinking. He teaches his skills to Tian Xiaopeng. As long as Tian Xiaopeng still wants to achieve political achievements, he must follow his way. Then this is a great good thing for the people of Huangqiu County.

Even if Tian Xiaopeng achieved political achievements and made progress because of this, so what? Even if he used open guns and hidden arrows against Su Xinghui, so what? Su Xinghui is not afraid of him at all. He can defeat Tian Xiaopeng once, and he can defeat him a second time, a third time, and even countless times.

Su Xinghui believes that as long as he defeats Tian Xiaopeng one or two more times, he will sink from then on, because by then age will no longer be his advantage, time will not be on his side, and he will have been defeated repeatedly—who will still try their best to cultivate him?

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Okay, County Magistrate Tian can ask whatever he wants to know, and I will definitely not hide anything."
