Chapter 1875

Su Xinghui didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked, "President Xu, does your Jiangshang Group have any plans to expand your business outside the province?"

"Outside the province?" Xu Zhigang was a bit surprised: "Our group does have plans to develop outside the province, but I'm afraid we won't be able to handle the relationship with the local government well when developing business outside the province."

Xu Zhigang's worry was reasonable. Their Jiangshang Group was certainly a retail giant in Hudong Province, and their relationship with governments at all levels was relatively easy to handle. However, it was not so easy to develop outside the province. Every province had local protectionism, and it was very easy for them, as an outsider, to be squeezed out when developing in other provinces.

Of course, if they could develop outside the province, it would certainly be a good thing for the Jiangshang Group, because the market within the province was limited after all. If they developed outside the province, their development speed would be greatly accelerated.

Su Xinghui said, "Speaking of outside the province, it's actually not far. For example, how about Wushui County? The economic development speed there is not slow, and the market potential is not small. It should be quite good to open two supermarkets there."

Wushui County? Xu Zhigang naturally knew that Wushui County was the neighboring county south of Changshan County. He asked, "County Magistrate Su, are you familiar with the leaders of Wushui County?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Of course I am. Actually, I am familiar with all the dozen or so county magistrates in this Tianyue Mountain Range Economic Cooperation Zone. President Xu can invest in any county you want in the future."

Xu Zhigang was tempted. If the economic development of Wushui County was not far behind that of Changshan County, then it was indeed a good place to invest. If he could expand the group's business outside the province, it would also be very beneficial for his status in the group.

Xu Zhigang nodded and said, "That would certainly be good."

Su Xinghui said, "If President Xu really has this intention, I will introduce you to County Magistrate Yu of Wushui County, and you can discuss the details yourselves."

Xu Zhigang nodded repeatedly.

Su Xinghui could also be considered to be helping the members of the Tianyue Mountain Range Economic Cooperation Zone increase some commercial prosperity. These mountainous counties were too remote and transportation was too underdeveloped, so many large supermarket enterprises were unwilling to come here to open stores because logistics were too inconvenient. If the Jiangshang Group could open one or two supermarkets in each county, it would definitely be very beneficial to the development of the Tianyue Mountain Range Economic Cooperation Zone.

Changshan County's development was getting better and better, and the situation in Su Xinghui's family was also constantly developing in a good direction.

Su Xinghui insisted on accompanying Lu Xiaoya to exercise every day, and Li Shuqin also strictly followed the recipe provided by Director Chen to cook. Persistence had its effect; afterwards, Lu Xiaoya's weight dropped by about two jin a week, which made Lu Xiaoya's mood better and better. The results of Director Chen's check-up for her were also good, and her condition was getting lighter and lighter.

This made Su Xinghui very gratified. Director Chen said that after Lu Xiaoya finished her maternity leave, her postpartum depression would very likely be cured.

Su Xinghui asked if there was any possibility of recurrence of this disease. Director Chen said that as long as there were no particularly major changes in the family in the future, it was generally impossible to recur. However, if she gave birth again, there was still a 20% chance of recurrence.

Su Xinghui thought to himself that with the current family planning policy, he estimated that there was no possibility of having children again. By the time the second child policy was opened, he and Lu Xiaoya would both be in their forties. At that time, he estimated that he would not have children again, and Lu Xiaoya's illness should not recur.

He thanked Director Chen profusely. Director Chen smiled and said, "County Magistrate Su, don't thank me. To be honest, we doctors don't play a big role in this kind of illness. The most important thing is the role of your family members. The better you treat her, the more she feels the warmth of the family, and the more effective it is. Therefore, your role is the greatest. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself."

Su Xinghui still thanked Director Chen before saying goodbye. Director Chen looked at his back and sighed in his heart, "This is truly a good husband. Of course, he is also a good county magistrate. The people of Changshan are really lucky to have such a good county magistrate!"

Changshan County was developing well, but several countries in Southeast Asia had fallen into dire straits. The Asian financial crisis continued to ferment. Following Thailand and Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and other countries had also been hit hard. Especially Indonesia, their foreign exchange reserves of many years had vanished, their economy was desolate, and the common people of Indonesia could be said to be living in misery.

The Asian financial crisis was of course a major event that attracted worldwide attention, but in September, China also had a major event that attracted worldwide attention, which was the Party Congress held in the capital on September 12th. This Party Congress would determine the new leadership team.

Gu Shanmin, Secretary of the Hudong Provincial Party Committee, led the members of the Hudong Provincial delegation to arrive in the capital on the 9th to attend this Party Congress. The delegation members naturally included Lu Zhenghong, Vice Governor of Hudong Province.

Su Xinghui was of course also very concerned about this congress. He watched relevant programs on TV every day because he wanted to see if some of the results of this Party Congress would be different from his previous life. Although he had only been a deputy county magistrate for a few years since his rebirth and his rank was very low, he felt that the influence he had caused was not small.

At least he remembered that in his previous life, Tian Chengzu's official career was still quite good. After serving as the Governor of Hudong Province for this term, he was transferred to a province in the west to serve as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee for one term, which could be considered the peak of a provincial-ministerial level cadre.

However, in this life, Tian Chengzu frequently lost points during his term as Governor of Hudong Province. In the minds of the central leaders, his impression must be quite bad. This time, it would be considered good if he was not demoted. It was basically impossible for him to go further and become the number one person in a province.

On the contrary, Gu Shanmin, Lu Zhenghong, and others frequently scored points in Su Xinghui's life. They would certainly go further in this Party Congress, which made Su Xinghui look forward to it very much.
