Chapter 1924

On the fifth day of Su Xinghui's arrival in Chongjin County, that afternoon, a motorcade drove into the county. As soon as this motorcade arrived, it shocked all the common people in Chongjin County, as the entire motorcade consisted of luxury cars.

In this motorcade, there were two Bentleys alone, and there were quite a few other luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Porsche, and Land Rover. In total, there were nearly twenty cars. The common people of Chongjin County had probably never seen so many luxury cars in their entire lives combined as they had today.

In the entire Chongjin County, the best cars were probably the Audis belonging to a few construction bosses. How could such a motorcade not shock all the people of Chongjin County?

Seeing this motorcade enter the city, everyone began to speculate about who had arrived. Some said it was a high-ranking leader, but those in the know said that high-ranking leaders wouldn't ride in such cars; they usually rode in Red Flags.

Then it could only be big bosses. But Chongjin County had never had any big bosses visit before. Why would such a boss come today? Nearly twenty luxury cars—what kind of big boss must this be?

They speculated about who these bosses were looking for, but no matter how they guessed, they couldn't figure it out. Although Su Xinghui had caused quite a stir in official circles over the past few days, he had only been here for a few days, after all. In the eyes of the common people, he didn't leave much of an impression; some people didn't even know that a new county magistrate had come to Chongjin County.

This motorcade stopped for a moment when entering the city. A driver in the lead Mercedes-Benz asked where the county committee compound was, and passersby enthusiastically pointed the way. After the driver said thank you, he restarted the car and drove toward the county committee compound.

Chongjin County city was not big and only had one main road. Driving along this main road, it didn't take long to reach the county committee compound. When they arrived at the gate, the motorcade didn't stop but drove straight in.

The county committee compound originally had security guards, but the guards were so intimidated by the momentum of this motorcade that they didn't dare to stop it. They watched as the motorcade stopped in front of the county government office building. Fortunately, the county committee compound was large enough, otherwise, there really wouldn't have been a place to park so many cars.

When this motorcade drove into the county committee compound, people along the way hurriedly made way for them; no one dared to stop them. The momentum of the luxury cars was simply too overwhelming.

Countless people came out of their offices to watch the excitement. This might be the only chance they would have in their lives to see so many high-end cars. They couldn't own them, but watching them was fine, right? After seeing these luxury cars today, they would at least have something to talk about in the future, making them seem knowledgeable and well-traveled, right?

Yuan Yifu also received the news and came out of his office. Looking at this motorcade of luxury cars, Yuan Yifu was filled with shock and suspicion. He hadn't received any wind of this beforehand, and he didn't know who these people were looking for, but he instinctively felt that these people must be looking for Su Xinghui.

Only Su Xinghui could cause such a big stir, right?

Sure enough, under the astonished and confused gazes of everyone, Su Xinghui came out of his office. He walked downstairs leisurely and went to the motorcade, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with the well-dressed men and women who had stepped out of the luxury cars. Judging by his expression, he must be very familiar with these people.

Subsequently, Nie Xin, Duan Qi, and Li Zhongwen all came downstairs and followed behind Su Xinghui, exchanging pleasantries with these people. Seeing this scene, many people were filled with envy, but some also thought sourly, "What's there to be proud of? Aren't they just a few bosses?"

After the pleasantries were over, Su Xinghui brought them upstairs. Because there were too many of them to fit in the office, they had to sit in the conference room.

These people were, of course, Su Xinghui's friends. Yu Ruizhi, Yu Ruoqiu, Chu Zheng, Han Xiang Dong, Mi Xiuyuan, Xie Junqiang, Min Tong, Hou Wenhai, Xu Xiaoguang, Yu Gaoshan, and others had all come. Coming to Chongjin County today, they were, of course, here to show support for Su Xinghui.

Today, they had specifically driven so many luxury cars to show support, and the effect was very obvious. These luxury cars had already caused a sensation throughout the county, and the visual impact of this motorcade was very shocking.

Nie Xin and Duan Qi were also very shocked. How many days had this young County Magistrate Su been in Chongjin County? Including today, it was only his fifth day, yet he had already caused so many big stirs. He really could shock people every single day!

Today's motorcade showed them just how strong Su Xinghui's true strength was. These people driving so many luxury cars clearly came to show support for Su Xinghui. With such a relationship, was there any need to ask about the nature of their bond?

With so many big bosses, was that 350 million in funding even an issue?

They were suddenly filled with hope for the future. They decided that they would just follow Su Xinghui and work; following him would definitely lead to a bright future.

Su Xinghui smiled, "You drove the cars from so far away; it must have been tiring on the road, right?"

Chu Zheng said, "I say, Xinghui, the roads in your Chongjin County are too rotten, aren't they? Hurry up and fix them so that when we come in the future, it won't be so bumpy."

Su Xinghui smiled, "I've only been here for a few days. Some things have to be done slowly."

Yu Ruizhi smiled, "Alright, anyway, whatever you need to do here, we'll provide the money if you need money, and the effort if you need effort. We guarantee we won't let you fight this battle alone."

Su Xinghui said, "Oh, Brother Yu, listening to you, it seems like you've made a fortune recently!"

Yu Ruizhi smiled so wide he couldn't close his mouth. He said, "Thanks to you, everyone has made a fortune. I'll tell you the details later."

Now that Nie Xin, Duan Qi, and a few others were present, it was, of course, not appropriate to discuss the details of the Asian financial crisis.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, you've had a tiring journey from afar. Go have a meal first; consider it a welcome reception for you."

Yu Ruizhi stood up and said, "Alright, let's go to the best restaurant in your Chongjin County. I'll be the host today!"

Hearing Yu Ruizhi's words, Nie Xin was even more shocked. Such friends are truly hard to find. Not only did they drive so many luxury cars to show support for Su Xinghui, but they were even paying for the meal. No matter how much the meal cost, it wouldn't violate the new financial system.

Su Xinghui said to Duan Qi, "Old Duan, see if Secretary Yuan and the others will participate? Invite them."

Duan Qi nodded and went out. Su Xinghui went downstairs with Yu Ruizhi and the others. He let Nie Xin and Li Zhongwen each get into a car, and he got into Yu Ruizhi's car, waiting for news from Duan Qi.

Before long, Duan Qi came downstairs. He walked to the side of Su Xinghui's car, leaned over, and said to Su Xinghui, "County Magistrate, Secretary Yuan and the others all said they have things to do tonight, so they won't be going."

Su Xinghui was not surprised. He pointed to a car and said, "Old Duan, then you get in, let's go eat."

Duan Qi got into that car, and under Su Xinghui's guidance, the motorcade drove to the county committee guesthouse. For now, the best restaurant in Chongjin County was the county committee guesthouse.

Yu Ruizhi said, "What's the matter, Xinghui? Is your county committee secretary not getting along with you?"

Su Xinghui smiled slightly, "A little bit."

Yu Ruizhi said, "This guy, if it really doesn't work out, just replace him and let you be the county committee secretary. I think that would be great."

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, aren't you engaging in a 'Great Leap Forward'? I just became county magistrate, and you want me to be county committee secretary immediately? That's faster than a rocket! Alright, don't worry about this matter. As long as the funding issue can be resolved, that's enough."

Yu Ruizhi said excitedly, "The funding issue is absolutely no problem. This time we've all made a killing..."

Yu Ruizhi was eager to talk about how they made money, but Chongjin County city was too small. While they were talking, the motorcade had already arrived at the gate of the county committee guesthouse. Su Xinghui said, "Alright, let's talk about it in detail tonight. Let's go in and eat first."

Duan Qi had already gotten out of the car first and ran into the county committee guesthouse to arrange the food and drinks.

Everyone got out of the cars and entered the county committee guesthouse. Duan Qi had already come out with the manager of the county committee guesthouse. When the manager saw Su Xinghui arrive, along with so many extraordinary big shots, he didn't dare to be negligent. He led them into a private room. This private room was only slightly smaller than Yuan Yifu's dedicated private room, and the interior decoration was equally luxurious, also featuring a large table that could seat about twenty people.
