Chapter 1976

As for his future, that was no problem. As long as he had ability and a correct work attitude, Su Xinghui wouldn't let him suffer. Not to mention rising quickly, he wouldn't encounter any obstacles in promotion.

Then again, being able to get into Jiangcheng University from a place like Menghuling already showed his intelligence and character were top-tier. Such a person wouldn't be bad.

So, Su Xinghui asked, "Your brother's name is Xia Song, right?"

Xia Zhu nodded, "Yes, his name is Xia Song."

Su Xinghui said, "He graduates next year, so let him come to Chongjin County."

Xia Zhu said, "Actually, he's a senior now, and the school doesn't have many courses left. He can come for an internship. Why not let him come to Chongjin County next semester? He can learn more from you earlier."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright."

The last semester of senior year indeed had few courses, allowing for internships. Su Xinghui himself had wanted to learn more from Professor Qin, so he hadn't gone out to find an internship unit.

Calculating this, Xia Song could come to Chongjin County for an internship after the Spring Festival next year. All Su Xinghui had to do was find him an internship unit, which was very simple for him.

Xia Zhu said, "Then thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled, "Don't be polite. Since you've come from afar, come to my house for dinner tonight. Xiaoya will be very happy to see you."

Feng Yuandong said, "We didn't bring any gifts when we came; I'm really embarrassed."

Su Xinghui said, "Let's not stand on ceremony between us."

Su Xinghui brought Feng Yuandong and Xia Zhu home. Sure enough, Lu Xiaoya was overjoyed to see them. Upon learning they were married, she was even happier and immediately pulled Xia Zhu into the room to talk.

Su Xinghui asked Auntie Liu to cook a few more dishes and went to the living room to sit with Feng Yuandong. He asked with a smile, "You must have had a hard time pursuing Xia Zhu these past few years?"

Feng Yuandong shook his head with a smile, "Yes, you don't know, at first she wouldn't even pay attention to me. I spent a lot of effort just to talk to her, and it took me several years to win her over. It was really like the eight-year war of resistance."

Su Xinghui gave a thumbs up, "Admirable, admirable, congratulations!"

Feng Yuandong's persistence and sincerity were indeed admirable. If it were someone else, they might not have been able to persist.

Feng Yuandong said, "Actually, the year before last, I was prepared to go to Changshan to invest and build a factory, but I had to stay by Xia Zhu's side, so I didn't go anywhere. Now that we've achieved our goal, I can come here to invest."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, Chongjin County is in need of large-scale investment right now. Your coming here is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

Feng Yuandong said, "I'm just doing my small part. Actually, I know you aren't lacking investment here."

Su Xinghui said, "How could we not be lacking investment? A Chinese medicinal herb pharmaceutical factory like yours is exactly what we need. Many townships in Chongjin County are by Yanglan Lake, and the resources there are very rich. Your factory can utilize these resources and increase income for the common people."

Feng Yuandong nodded, "Hmm, I thought so too."

Su Xinghui said, "Then we can go to Yanglan Lake tomorrow. It's the weekend, and the scenery there is quite beautiful."

Feng Yuandong said, "Good."

Lu Xiaoya and Xia Zhu came out of the room after talking for a while. Xia Zhu was holding the baby, who didn't seem to mind strangers and giggled at Xia Zhu's teasing.

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, you've been here for a few days and haven't been to Yanglan Lake. Since Yuandong and Xia Zhu are here, let's go play by the lake tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Good! I've heard of Yanglan Lake's reputation but haven't seen it. This is thanks to you; otherwise, Xinghui is busy to death every day and has no time to take us out."

Su Xinghui complained, "Where is that true? Even if they didn't come, I planned to take you tomorrow."

Seeing Su Xinghui's expression, everyone burst into laughter.

That night, Su Xinghui called Yu Ruizhi, asking him to invite friends to go to Yanglan Lake the next day. Yu Ruizhi agreed immediately; he was a fun-loving person and wanted to go to Yanglan Lake, but he had been too busy lately.

He was also planning to develop tourism in Chongjin County with Chu Zheng and the others. Chongjin County had Yanglan Lake, the Yangtze River, and many historical sites. Since ancient times, it had been a famous ferry crossing and a strategic military location, especially during the Three Kingdoms period, making it a famous ancient battlefield.

Therefore, Chongjin County's tourism resources were very rich, making it very suitable for development. Now that they had made a fortune during the Asian financial crisis, they weren't lacking funds and had the strength to develop tourism.

Early the next morning, Yu Ruizhi and the others drove to the county committee courtyard. He Weidong entered, picked up Su Xinghui's family and Auntie Liu, and Feng Yuandong drove his own car as the group headed toward Yanglan Lake.

Along the way, everyone could see work starting on the lake embankment. Large construction machinery was working. Lu Xiaoya said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, you started a big project as soon as you arrived."

Su Xinghui said, "I have to. If things go wrong, there might be a major flood next year. The embankment problems here are too numerous."

Lu Xiaoya nodded. She knew that everything Su Xinghui did had its reasons, so she didn't ask more.

Soon, the car arrived at Jinxi Township. They drove up a road onto the embankment and stopped. The adjacent section was being renovated by the Mi Group's construction company, with workers working vigorously.

Everyone stood on the embankment and looked down, seeing a shocking beauty on the nearby mudflats: a large flock of water birds, covering the entire mudflat. ===== CHAPTER 1978 =====
