Chapter 2003

The local driver said: "Comrade, you must be an outsider passing through our Chongjin County, right? You go to our county seat and take a look, and you'll know. Now the changes in Chongjin County are huge, and this was all brought by this County Magistrate Su..."

The local driver was just talking happily when a long whistle blew, and the ferry docked. Everyone rushed to their cars and said: "The boat is here, hurry up and get on the boat."

The local driver couldn't care about talking to Su Xinghui anymore, and he hurriedly entered the driver's cabin, waiting to get on the boat. He never paid attention to the Santana car beside Su Xinghui. If he had paid attention, he would have known that the car Su Xinghui was sitting in had a local license plate. Of course, he still didn't know that Su Xinghui was the County Magistrate Su he was talking about.

Su Xinghui also got into the car, and Shen Hao said to Su Xinghui: "County Magistrate, you are really amazing. Now everyone says you are a 'Su Qingtian' (an upright official)."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said: "I can't be considered any kind of Qingtian, and I don't want to be a Qingtian. Actually, as long as each of us does our own job well, our society doesn't need any Qingtian."

Shen Hao nodded thoughtfully, then started the car, followed behind the truck in front, and moved forward.

There were too many vehicles waiting, and this trip didn't finish them all. Su Xinghui could only wait patiently for the next ferry. He got out of the car again and listened to those drivers bragging.

These drivers travel all over the country and know everything. Listening to what they say is quite interesting, and one can also learn a lot of information.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that Su Xinghui's car finally crossed the river and drove toward Jiangcheng.

Su Xinghui sighed: "This ferry is really too inconvenient. We must build a bridge."

Shen Hao nodded slightly, and he silently accelerated and drove toward Jiangcheng.

After crossing the river, it was less than 100 kilometers from Xiangjia County to Jiangcheng, and there was an expressway connecting the two places. Therefore, in just over an hour, Su Xinghui arrived in Jiangcheng. He went directly to the Hudong Provincial Party Committee compound and came to Wan Yangbo's office.

Su Xinghui had called Wan Yangbo yesterday and made an appointment to meet this morning. As soon as Su Xinghui arrived, Wan Yangbo met with Su Xinghui in his office.

As soon as they met, Wan Yangbo laughed: "Comrade Xinghui, you aren't being loyal, are you?"

Su Xinghui said: "Provincial Governor Wan, how am I not being loyal?"

Wan Yangbo said: "I just became Provincial Governor, and you transferred to Jiangyou Province. I've lost a great general!"

Su Xinghui then understood Wan Yangbo's meaning, and he laughed: "Provincial Governor Wan, Hudong is developing so well now, and there are many excellent cadres; it doesn't matter if I'm missing."

Wan Yangbo shook his head and said: "There are many excellent cadres, but there are few as excellent as you. Besides you, you also let Comrade Zhenghong take Comrade Kaishan away. Two great generals left at once. I heard this idea was yours. Tell me, how should you compensate for my loss?"

Wan Yangbo's words were, of course, a joke, but in the joke, there was also his regret. Yes, Su Xinghui and Zhang Kaishan were both experts at handling the economy. In the past few years, they had made outstanding contributions to the economic development of Hudong Province, bringing Yulin City's economy directly from the bottom few in the province to the second position in the province.

And Shangjun County is even the number one county in the province. Currently, their work of withdrawing the county and establishing a city has also been put on the agenda and will be completed next year.

It's a pity that Wan Yangbo had just become Provincial Governor, but these two great generals were both transferred away. How could Wan Yangbo not feel regret?

Su Xinghui laughed: "Provincial Governor Wan, I came here this time to send you a big gift. That should be enough to compensate for your loss, right?"

Wan Yangbo's eyes lit up and he said: "What big gift do you have to send me? Let's hear it!"

Su Xinghui said: "I want to build a Changjiangdaqiao in our Chongjin County!"

After Wan Yangbo heard this, his eyes lit up even more. He got up and walked to the large map of China on the wall of his office to look at the location of Chongjin County. The northwest part of Chongjin County faces Xiangjia County of Hudong Province across the river, while the northeast part faces Xizhuang County of Wannan Province across the river.

Since Su Xinghui said he wanted to send him a big gift, this Changjiangdaqiao should be built in the northwest direction of Chongjin County, connecting with Xiangjia County.

Wan Yangbo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. A Changjiangdaqiao—this is truly a generous gift.

Even for a Provincial Governor, a Changjiangdaqiao is not something you can build just because you want to, especially in such a place at the junction of two provinces, which requires coordination between the two provinces. Moreover, the amount of funds required to build a Changjiangdaqiao now is also very large, and the economic development of the two provinces is unbalanced, making coordination even more difficult.

Wan Yangbo pointed to the northwest of Chongjin County and said: "Are you planning to build a bridge here?"

Su Xinghui also stood up. He walked to Wan Yangbo's side and pointed to a place and said: "I plan to build the bridge right here. This is our county's economic development zone. Now there are quite a few enterprises planning to invest here, and some have already started construction. Therefore, building a bridge here is the best location."

Wan Yangbo nodded and said: "You really have a big vision. You dare to build a bridge as soon as you arrive in Chongjin County. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have this thought!"
