Chapter 1955

Yu Ruizhi said, "That's right. Sister Sister Ruoqiu originally planned to leave Chongjin County tomorrow, but she has unfinished business here and can't leave for the moment. I also advised her to make it clear to You Jiayu in person and end this matter thoroughly, and she agreed."

Su Xinghui asked, "Brother Yu, since you grew up in the same compound as that You Jiayu, what kind of person is he? His conditions are so good; if he is truly worthy of Sister Sister Ruoqiu, I think you might as well advise Sister Sister Ruoqiu to consider him."

Yu Ruizhi looked at Su Xinghui with a strange expression and shook his head, saying, "How could I persuade Sister Sister Ruoqiu? Besides, I don't really like You Jiayu either."

Su Xinghui said, "Why, is there something wrong with him?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "In terms of intelligence and talent, this person is extremely outstanding, comparable to you. He was admitted to the Capital University at fifteen—he didn't rely on his family's connections; he relied entirely on his exam scores. And at Harvard, he also received a full scholarship. Would you say this person is impressive?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That is indeed impressive. In terms of intelligence, I might not be as good as him; after all, I entered university at seventeen, and it was Jiangcheng University."

Yu Ruizhi said, "You can't say that. I think you are still better than him. You are good at everything: calligraphy, painting, martial arts, economics, and even in the financial market, you are so capable. If you studied exclusively, I don't think you would be any worse than him."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Yu, stop talking about me. Let's talk about this person."

Yu Ruizhi said, "He has been smart since he was a child. When playing games with us, as long as it was a game of winning or losing, he never lost. Even in guessing games, we couldn't beat him. He seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts. However, precisely because he is too smart, I don't really like him."

This is also normal. Yu Ruizhi is a person with a relatively straightforward temperament. People who are too smart often appear not straightforward enough, so naturally, they couldn't be friends with Yu Ruizhi. Yu Ruizhi likes Su Xinghui also because Su Xinghui is not only smart but also has a straightforward temperament.

Of course, Su Xinghui's straightforwardness is for friends; for enemies, he will also use his wits.

However, You Jiayu's wits are used on everyone. It seems that since he was a child, he has been very good at calculating. When he was with his playmates, the playmates' toys would always be tricked or won away by him in the end.

Yu Ruizhi said, "I still remember one time when I was a child, my military cap was tricked away by him. I was so angry that I beat him up. His brother helped him, so I beat them both up. Sister Sister Ruoqiu was still young then and only cheered for me on the side. But that day, You Jiayu went to find my father to complain, which caused me to be beaten severely by my father, my bottom was beaten to a pulp."

Speaking of this, Yu Ruizhi shook his head and laughed. He could only tell Su Xinghui about these absurd things from his childhood.

Thinking about it now, of course, he wouldn't blame his father, and he wouldn't blame You Jiayu's brother either—a brother protecting his younger brother is as it should be. But as for You Jiayu, of course, he wouldn't like him; he cheats people and likes to complain. Not many people like this kind of person.

Su Xinghui laughed and said, "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to have such a history!"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Yeah, the compound was so much fun back then, there were many playmates. Xiao Wu, Monkey, and the others all played with us. By the way, Shen Zhongtian was also in our compound at that time. It's a pity that as we grew up, we all went our separate ways. Now, the only ones who can still be friends are Xiao Wu, Monkey, Geng Bo, and a few others."

Speaking of this, there was a look of nostalgia on Yu Ruizhi's face. Yes, many childhood memories are beautiful.

Yu Ruizhi continued, "I actually saw You Jiayu a few days ago, and my impression of him is still bad. He was pretentious when he was a child, and now he is even more pretentious. He is clearly Chinese, but he has to throw in a foreign word every two or three sentences. He also sends flowers to Sister Sister Ruoqiu, looking polite, but that sourness is just hard to look at."

Su Xinghui found it somewhat funny. Yu Ruizhi has been unable to look at You Jiayu since he was a child, so now he can't look at anything You Jiayu does.

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, actually this is also normal. He has been abroad for more than ten years, so it's not strange to have some foreign habits. You should look at others with a more peaceful mindset. If You Jiayu's conditions are really good, then Sister Sister Ruoqiu can really consider it."

Yu Ruizhi's eyes became even stranger. He asked, "Do you really want Sister Sister Ruoqiu to date someone?"

Looking at Yu Ruizhi's strange eyes, Su Xinghui's heart couldn't help but jump. He vaguely thought of a possibility for why Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu didn't date, but he didn't dare to think deeper. He laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare. Let Sister Sister Ruoqiu make the decision herself."

Yu Ruizhi sighed deeply, stood up, and left Su Xinghui's room, saying, "Sigh, Sister Sister Ruoqiu is also a girl with a bitter fate!"

This nonsensical remark from Yu Ruizhi left Su Xinghui feeling somewhat lost. He sat blankly in his room for a while, his mind seemingly a void, not knowing what he was thinking about, until the ringing of the telephone in his room startled him back to his senses.

The call was from Lu Xiaoya. She would call Su Xinghui every night. She asked, "Xinghui, what are you doing?"

Su Xinghui said, "Nothing much, just reading some materials."

After saying this, Su Xinghui felt a bit ashamed, as if he had told a lie to his wife.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Don't be too tired every day, you should rest earlier."

Su Xinghui said, "I know. By the way, the office said our home is all set. Wait one more day; after the whitewashed lime dries and we move the furniture in, we can move in. Shall I have someone pick you and the baby up the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Xiaoya said happily, "That's great, then we can be together the day after tomorrow."

Su Xinghui asked, "How is the baby?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Baby, call Daddy."

The unconscious babbling of the baby came through the receiver. Of course, at less than three months old, he couldn't call Daddy yet, but hearing his son's voice, Su Xinghui's eyes instantly moistened. This was his most genuine happiness; at this moment, he had no other distracting thoughts.

Su Xinghui called out, "Baby..."

Lu Xiaoya sensed something was off with Su Xinghui's voice and asked, "Xinghui, what's wrong? Your voice sounds a bit hoarse. Are you unhappy?"

Su Xinghui said, "No, I just miss you and the baby too much."

Lu Xiaoya said softly, "Mm, I know, I miss you too."

The two spoke a few more words, and Lu Xiaoya told Su Xinghui to rest early before hanging up the phone.

After this call, Su Xinghui's heart calmed down. No matter when, Lu Xiaoya was the person who could truly calm his heart. He knew that he would never betray Lu Xiaoya.

The next morning, another motorcade of luxury cars arrived in Chongjin County, once again causing a sensation among the common people of the entire county. In this motorcade, there were several more cars that ordinary people couldn't even recognize—Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Lincolns; these types of cars were truly rarely seen in Chongjin County.

The people who came this time were all well-known Chinese businessmen, led by Mi Mingquan and Xie Maosong, important figures from the Mi Group and Xie Group in Hong Kong. The dozen or so people who came were all famous figures among Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia. Even Su Xinghui personally went to greet them at the southern outskirts of the county seat this time.

After he welcomed these guests to the County Committee Guesthouse and arranged their accommodations, the guesthouse was almost full due to the large number of guests. However, there was no other way; the hotel industry in Chongjin County was not developed, and apart from the County Committee Guesthouse, there were no decent hotels to show off. He couldn't very well have them stay in private guesthouses that cost five or ten yuan a night, could he?

Su Xinghui had the guesthouse arrange a banquet and then called Yuan Yifu to tell him which guests had arrived and invited him to attend the welcome banquet as well.

The more Yuan Yifu heard, the more shocked he became. He truly did not expect Su Xinghui's influence to be so great that he could invite such incredible figures. Although Su Xinghui's guests last time were also very important, he was young after all, so it was understandable that he didn't attend the welcome banquet. If he didn't attend this time, it would be too arrogant.
