Chapter 1996

From this point of view, Su Xinghui was really a lucky general. As soon as he arrived in Jiangyou Province, not only did he set up a banner for Ke Zhifang in Chongjin County, but today he came to Hongzhou and gave himself such an opportunity to sell Zheng Yanjun a favor, allowing him to have the opportunity to break the compression circle of the two giants in Jiangyou, which made Ke Zhifang very happy.

Ke Zhifang said, "Then you go to the Provincial Government Guest House to rest for a while. When it's time to eat, I will send someone to pick you up."

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Ke, then we will go over first."

Xie Shuchen took the three to the Provincial Government Guest House. He had already opened three rooms for the three. After today's incident, the three were also a bit tired. They rested for a while. About two hours later, Xie Shuchen came to pick them up again and went to the Provincial Party Committee Guest House.

Zheng Yanjun was already waiting for them in a private room at the Provincial Party Committee Guest House. Ke Zhifang took the three into the private room. Zheng Yanjun stood up with a smile and said, "Please sit."

From Zheng Yanjun's face, one could not see at all that his son was beaten like a pig's head today. You must know that that was his most spoiled youngest son. If he hadn't been a bit indulgent to this son, he wouldn't have become like that.

Zheng Yanjun was full of spring breeze, just like he had just received the news of promotion. However, this was also the necessary cultivation for people in officialdom. If he didn't even have this cultivation, he couldn't climb to this position at all.

Ke Zhifang nodded and said, "Secretary Zheng is polite."

After speaking, he sat down, and Su Xinghui and the three also sat down.

For today's banquet, Zheng Yanjun came alone, not even bringing a secretary. The identities of the Yu siblings were too shocking. The fewer people who knew about such things, the better. Therefore, he did everything himself today. After his driver sent him to the Provincial Party Committee Guest House, he let the driver leave first.

After everyone sat down as guests and hosts, Zheng Yanjun picked up the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine for everyone. However, Su Xinghui naturally wouldn't be so arrogant. He took the wine bottle from Zheng Yanjun's hand. If he really sat there and let a Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee pour wine for him, that would be too ignorant.

Zheng Yanjun originally just made a gesture. Su Xinghui took the wine bottle, and he pretended to push it away and that was it.

However, when Su Xinghui intended to pour wine for him first, he firmly let Su Xinghui pour wine for Ke Zhifang first. This order problem was a very important problem. Ke Zhifang was the second-in-command and the full-time official of the provincial government, ranking ahead of him. And today he was the host and Ke Zhifang was the guest. If he let Su Xinghui pour wine for him first, he would also be said to be ignorant of the rules.

Under his insistence, Su Xinghui poured wine for Ke Zhifang first, Zheng Yanjun let him pour wine for Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu, then poured wine for Zheng Yanjun, and finally Su Xinghui himself.

Today's Zheng Yanjun put his posture very low. In front of the Yu family descendants, and today his son was at fault first, it was very necessary for him to make such a posture. He had to dispel the anger in the hearts of the Yu siblings. For this purpose, any posture he made was worth it.

Zheng Yanjun picked up the wine glass and said, "Today, I should have let that useless boy of mine come to apologize to you in person. However, he is not suitable to see people in his current state, so I can only apologize for him. For this first glass, I hope you will drink it together!"

Zheng Hanchao's wrist was swollen like a pig's trotter, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he lost a few teeth, full of air leakage, indeed not very suitable to see people.

His own son was beaten into this appearance, Zheng Yanjun could also be considered very straightforward. He didn't mention a word today, only said this at this time, saying that he was not suitable to see people, without any complaints. This endurance also made Su Xinghui feel very admirable.

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank this glass with Zheng Yanjun.

Zheng Yanjun picked up his chopsticks and said, "Everyone drink less alcohol and eat more food. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for the body. These dishes are all specialties of our Hongzhou, and the flavor is good. Everyone might as well eat more."

The dishes on the table today were indeed very rich, and they all had Hongzhou characteristics, with color, fragrance, and taste, making people have an appetite at a glance. It could be seen that Zheng Yanjun had spent a lot of thought.

Everyone raised their chopsticks to pick up food. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere gradually became enthusiastic. Zheng Yanjun had broad knowledge and not bad eloquence. Today, he deliberately put down his posture, so he was full of witty remarks.

Putting aside each other's positions, Zheng Yanjun could actually become a good friend.

This meal lasted for nearly two hours. Zheng Yanjun and Ke Zhifang could also be considered to have talked happily. Finally, both of them were a bit tipsy, and this meal ended.

After the meal, Zheng Yanjun asked how many more days Yu Ruizhi and the others would stay in Hongzhou. Yu Ruizhi said they would leave Hongzhou the next day. Zheng Yanjun said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The scenery in Hongzhou is still quite good, you can play for a few more days."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Zheng, our Chongjin County is busy with affairs now, and Brother Yu and the others still have business to handle in Chongjin County, so they cannot stay in Hongzhou for long."

Zheng Yanjun said, "That's a pity. Stay in Hongzhou for a few more days next time you come."

The group nodded and agreed, and left the Provincial Party Committee Guest House.

They arrived at the Provincial Government Guest House and returned to their rooms together. Ke Zhifang followed Su Xinghui into his room, sat opposite each other, and asked, "Xinghui, you had contact with Deputy Secretary Zheng today, what is your impression of him?"

Su Xinghui pondered and said, "His knowledge is quite good."

Ke Zhifang said, "He was once an associate professor at Hongzhou University, teaching Marxist philosophy, and later chose to enter politics. Now his students are all over the Jiangyou political scene, and he can be considered the second largest local force in Jiangyou Province."

Su Xinghui nodded slightly and said, "Then he might not have cooperated with your work before, right?"

Ke Zhifang smiled and said, "Yes, but from today on, he will only have to cooperate with me. This is all beaten out by your meal!"

Su Xinghui said, "I can also be considered to have hit the mark by mistake."

Ke Zhifang said, "I am really glad that I invited you to Jiangyou Province. Otherwise, how could there be the current situation so quickly?"

When Ke Zhifang first arrived in Jiangyou, he was really ordered in a time of crisis, without a few helpers by his side. It was not easy to stand firm in Jiangyou Province, where local forces were extremely powerful. At that time, he himself had a tragic feeling of "the wind is blowing, the river is cold." If he couldn't break the situation in Jiangyou, he had also made the worst plan.

Who knew that Su Xinghui was only a county magistrate, but he could toss so much. In just one month, he tossed out such a situation, giving Ke Zhifang more room to maneuver. Although it was far from breaking the situation, it also gave Ke Zhifang a lot more confidence to break the situation.

He now felt that his decision to invite Su Xinghui to Jiangyou was the wisest decision. Even if he had to visit the thatched cottage three times for this, it was too worth it.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Uncle Ke, I just have a bit of luck."

Ke Zhifang said, "Luck is also a kind of ability. You did this, really making me much more relaxed. Thank you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Ke, don't be polite, isn't this what I should do?"
