Chapter 1879

~8 min read 1,509 words

After a two-hour drive, the car arrived in Jiangcheng, and Su Xinghui drove the car directly to the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Today is Saturday, and Lu Zhenghong is waiting for his daughter and son-in-law at home. As soon as they arrived, Lu Zhenghong took his grandson Su Weizhen from Lu Xiaoya's hands. The little guy had milk before getting in the car and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. Now that he got off the car, his stomach was hungry again and he was arching in Lu Xiaoya's arms. When his grandfather took him over, he smelled an unfamiliar smell and suddenly cried out "wow".

It didn't matter if he cried, he also urinated, wetting the diaper. Lu Zhenghong's shirt was also wet. Lu Xiaoya quickly took the child from her father's hands and said, "Dad, you go change your clothes quickly. The child is hungry, I'll go breastfeed him."

Lu Zhenghong, who had always been elegant, was made a bit embarrassed by this grandson. He said self-deprecatingly, "This little guy, he even protested when I held him."

Song Qiaoli took out a shirt for him and said, "Who told you to be busy every day and have no time to see him? Of course he wants to protest."

Lu Zhenghong shook his head and went to the bathroom to change his shirt. Lu Xiaoya also changed the diaper for the child and went to the room to breastfeed.

Lu Zhenghong and Su Xinghui entered the study together and began to talk.

Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "I think the child is growing very well. How many jin is he now?"

Su Xinghui said, "He is almost 10 jin now."

Lu Zhenghong said, "Is it hard for you to bring up the child yourselves?"

Su Xinghui said, "At first, I really felt a bit hard, but now I'm used to it. It's best for parents to bring up the child."

Lu Zhenghong nodded: "Xinghui, you already know the situation of this Party Congress, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "I know, I want to congratulate Dad!"

Lu Zhenghong was elected as a member of the Central Committee, so his position was at least the governor of a province. This was of course worth Su Xinghui's congratulations.

Lu Zhenghong's face had no look of complacency. He said with a solemn face, "The higher the position, the heavier the burden!"

Su Xinghui also nodded with a solemn face. He knew that Lu Zhenghong was not pretending, but that the higher the ability, the heavier the burden. He was only a deputy county magistrate now, and he felt this deeply.

Now on his shoulders, he also bears the well-being of hundreds of thousands of common people in Changshan County! If Lu Zhenghong really became the governor, then on his shoulders, he would bear the well-being of tens of millions of common people in a province. How heavy is such a burden?

Su Xinghui asked, "Dad, have you decided where to go?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "When I was in the capital, the Organization Department of the Central Committee had already talked to me. I should be going to Qinxi Province to be the governor."

Qinxi Province, that is an old industrial hub and one of the most important provinces in the west, but in recent years, their economic development has not been satisfactory, and it has already ranked relatively low in the country.

It was only ten years ago that their GDP ranking was about the same as that of Hudong Province, but now on the ranking list, they have been left far behind by Hudong Province. Such a situation naturally cannot satisfy the central government.

Of course, this situation is not solely caused by Qinxi Province itself, but is related to the general trend after the reform and opening up. The provinces in the central and western regions have a general trend of backwardness. However, the backwardness of the leaders of Qinxi Province in their concepts also has a great relationship.

In contrast, Hudong Province, which is also a central and western province, has not retreated but advanced in such a general trend. Their concepts are also innovative, and they have frequently introduced policies and measures that have made central leaders admire them. This naturally makes central leaders very appreciative.

This time the central government put Lu Zhenghong in Qinxi Province to be the governor, which can be considered a promotion. He has not experienced the hurdle of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, but this also shows the high expectations of the central government for Lu Zhenghong. They hope that Lu Zhenghong can continue his excellent performance in Hudong Province and lead the economy of Qinxi Province out of the quagmire.

Going to Qinxi Province in this situation naturally has the meaning of being ordered in a time of crisis. The weight of the burden on Lu Zhenghong's shoulders can be imagined. Just imagine, how could he have a look of complacency?

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "The burden of Qinxi Province is indeed very heavy!"

Lu Zhenghong said, "So I specifically asked you and Xiaoya to come back today. I estimate that I will go to Qinxi Province in half a month. There will not be as many opportunities to see you in the future as before. I also want to see my good grandson!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Then we will stay for two days this time. You can hold him however you want at home."

Lu Zhenghong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid he will urinate on me again. I only have these few shirts. If they are all wet, how can I see people?"

The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other and laughed loudly together.

Su Xinghui asked, "Then what position will Secretary Gu go to?"

Gu Shanmin was elected as a member of the Political Bureau. The place he is going to must be a key place, either the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of several major economic provinces with high rankings, or the hub of the central government.

Lu Zhenghong pointed upward and said, "He will go to the Secretariat."

Su Xinghui nodded knowingly. Going to the Secretariat means being a secretary of the Secretariat. Of course, there is more than one secretary in the Secretariat, there are several secretaries, but this position is also a position with high power and weight, and one can directly meet the highest leader. Therefore, people in this position, as long as they are not too old, still have room for progress.

Gu Shanmin's age is not too old, he is not yet sixty this year. Therefore, his entry into the Secretariat is considered the youngest among the secretaries of the Secretariat. Of course, he still has a lot of room for progress.

Lu Zhenghong said, "In the afternoon, I will take you to see Secretary Gu."

After Gu Shanmin took this step, he became a national-level leader. Among the cadres at the deputy county magistrate level, only Su Xinghui had the opportunity to see him. Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Zhenghong said, "I called you here today because there are some things I want to ask you. I am going to Qinxi this time, and I want to get the economy of Qinxi Province up as soon as possible. What tricks do you have?"

If there was a third person here now, he would be shocked. A high-level cadre who is about to take office as governor actually asks a deputy county magistrate for advice, and it is a deputy county magistrate who is only twenty-six years old. This kind of thing is too outrageous and too shocking.

However, Lu Zhenghong's face was very natural. He naturally knew the ability of his son-in-law. He was far from the level of a deputy county magistrate.

Su Xinghui did not doubt Lu Zhenghong's request for advice. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Dad, if you want to get the economy of Qinxi Province up as soon as possible, the first priority is transportation. You must connect Qinxi with the developed provinces in the central and eastern regions. Only then can it be considered as connecting the lone stone in Go with the main force. After that, no matter how you move, it will be fine."

Lu Zhenghong nodded. Qinxi Province now is indeed like a lone stone in Go, unable to connect with the main force, which will lead to setbacks everywhere. Qinxi Province is indeed backward in transportation. Up to now, they do not have a highway leading to the developed areas in the central and eastern regions.

Su Xinghui continued: "Qinxi Province is a province with very profound cultural heritage and exceptionally rich tourism resources. This point must be utilized well. We must build Qinxi Province into a major tourism province. Of course, for this goal, we must let Qinxi Province improve a lot in the soft environment of the tourism industry such as public security and service."
