Chapter 2005

With these three reasons, is there any need to ask where to build the bridge?

But for Wan Yangbo, Su Xinghui building the bridge here is equivalent to Hudong Province having an extra Changjiangdaqiao out of thin air. This benefit is too great.

Wan Yangbo said: "Xinghui, have you ever thought about building an expressway from your county to Hongzhou? In this way, it would be equivalent to having an expressway connecting Jiangcheng and Hongzhou."

Su Xinghui said: "Provincial Governor Wan, isn't there an expressway from Changshan to Hongzhou? Do you want me to build another one?"

Wan Yangbo laughed: "Would I ever complain about having too many such high-speed channels?"

Su Xinghui said: "Provincial Governor Wan, you are really shrewd! Of course, I want to build this expressway, but now we plan to rebuild the provincial road to Hongzhou first. From Chongjin County to Hongzhou, it's more than 200 kilometers. Building an expressway would cost too much, and we can't afford it for the time being. I have too many big projects started in Chongjin County now."

Wan Yangbo became interested: "Tell me, what big projects have you started in Chongjin County? How long have you been there? You've already started so many big projects?"

Su Xinghui then told Wan Yangbo about some of the things he had done in Chongjin County during this period. Wan Yangbo was also amazed after hearing it. It had only been a little over a month, and Su Xinghui had already done so many big things. He regretted even more that he had let Su Xinghui go. If only Su Xinghui had stayed in Hudong Province!

Su Xinghui said: "Provincial Governor Wan, I have one more thing I want to ask of you this time."

Wan Yangbo said: "Whatever it is, just say it."

Su Xinghui said: "Our Chongjin County is a lake area, and the schistosomiasis situation there is relatively serious. I would like to ask you to transfer a group of experts in schistosomiasis prevention and control to provide counterpart support there. We have many late-stage schistosomiasis patients there who look too pitiful, and our medical conditions are limited. We are in urgent need of support in this area!"

Wan Yangbo nodded in appreciation and said: "You have done very well. You always keep the suffering of the common people in your heart. I admire you. Okay, I agree to this matter!"

Su Xinghui said: "Then thank you very much. I'll wait in Jiangcheng for a few days. After the experts from Hudong are transferred, I will return to Chongjin County with them."

Wan Yangbo said: "If you are busy, go back first. I will coordinate this matter. I guarantee to send the experts to Chongjin County as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything, and Hudong Province will cover the expenses."

Su Xinghui said happily: "Provincial Governor Wan, then I really thank you so much!"

Wan Yangbo raised his hand to look at his watch, stood up and said: "It's time for dinner now. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Su Xinghui laughed: "How about I treat you to dinner today? You've done me such a big favor."

Wan Yangbo said: "Don't forget, you are no longer a cadre of Hudong Province, and I am the Provincial Governor of Hudong Province. So when you come here, only I can treat you to dinner, haha!"

Su Xinghui laughed and stood up, followed Wan Yangbo out, and had a meal at the Provincial Government Guest House. However, this meal was not sumptuous, just three dishes and one soup. Now in Hudong Province, the reimbursement standard for reception expenses has been fully implemented. Even if the Provincial Governor hosts a banquet, it cannot exceed the standard.

Like today's three dishes and one soup, it is actually slightly over the standard. Wan Yangbo pays for the part that exceeds the standard with his own salary. Of course, these things are all done by his secretary.

The three dishes on the table were a braised bream, a potato-braised pork belly, and a green vegetable. The soup was pork rib and lotus root soup. These are the most authentic Hudong-style dishes.

Since it was noon, Wan Yangbo didn't serve alcohol. He ordered two bottles of drinks. This is the fruit juice drink from the Yongfeng Beverage Factory. Now the imprint brought by Su Xinghui has deeply influenced many corners of Hudong Province.

Wan Yangbo picked up his glass of drink and said: "Come, Xinghui, let me have a drink with you. This drink is still produced by your Meng Hu Ling's Yongfeng Beverage Factory. Do you remember?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Of course I remember. As soon as I came in, I saw the manufacturer on this drink. Now their packaging is getting more and more beautiful."

Wan Yangbo said with emotion: "Now Yongfeng Beverage has become a nationally famous big brand, and the mineral water they produce is also popular all over the country. You didn't expect it yourself, did you? An investor you recruited in Meng Hu Ling has developed so well now."

Su Xinghui said: "Yes, I didn't expect this either."

Wan Yangbo said: "And the financial reimbursement system you created in Pengjiawan is now implemented throughout Hudong Province, and it is strictly enforced. Just this one item saves our province's fiscal expenditure by several hundred million every year."

Su Xinghui laughed: "I hope to implement this system throughout Jiangyou Province as soon as possible."

Wan Yangbo said: "And the administrative service center you created is now also implemented in every county in the province. The Shangjun County Changjiangdaqiao and the expressway are also about to open to traffic. The Tianyue Mountain Range Economic Cooperation Zone you created is also booming. Speaking of which, you have really brought many changes to Hudong Province. I really can't bear to see you go!"

Hearing Wan Yangbo talk about the things he had done as if he knew them by heart, Su Xinghui was moved. He also picked up his drink and said: "Provincial Governor Wan, I'd like to toast you too!"

Wan Yangbo collected his mood, toasted with Su Xinghui, and took a sip: "Alright, as long as you do well in Jiangyou Province, that is also the pride of our Hudong Province! This can also be considered my support for Comrade Zhifang!"

After finishing, Wan Yangbo laughed and pointed to the dishes on the table: "Eat more, you are young and have a big appetite, so I specially ordered an extra dish today. I can't eat that much. These are our Hudong hometown dishes!"

Su Xinghui nodded and ate big mouthfuls. To be honest, he hadn't eaten such authentic hometown dishes for more than a month.

After the meal, Wan Yangbo originally wanted to keep Su Xinghui in Jiangcheng for the night, but Su Xinghui said he wanted to return to Shangjun County, so Wan Yangbo couldn't keep him anymore. It's difficult for Su Xinghui to return to Shangjun County now.

Su Xinghui had Shen Hao drive him back to Shangjun County. When passing through Pengjiawan Town, Su Xinghui had Shen Hao stop the car next to the Shangjun Changjiangdaqiao construction site. He didn't get out of the car, but rolled down the window and looked at the magnificent Changjiangdaqiao.

This Changjiangdaqiao is almost closed, and it will probably be completed and opened to traffic early next year. Looking at this bridge, Su Xinghui's heart was surging.

And opposite the Changjiangdaqiao is the expressway, and next to the expressway is that special steel plant. This special steel plant is also extremely magnificent, full of the beauty of heavy industry. This special steel plant also made Su Xinghui feel very emotional.

These buildings are all condensed with Su Xinghui's hard work. Seeing that they are almost completed, how can Su Xinghui not be emotional?

Shen Hao asked softly: "County Magistrate, have you worked here before?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Yes, four years ago I was the town mayor here."

Shen Hao said: "County Magistrate, you are really amazing. Seeing the appearance here, I know this must all be your credit."

Su Xinghui didn't answer this time. He looked for a while longer, then said softly to Shen Hao: "Shen Hao, let's go."

Shen Hao nodded and started the car, but suddenly a surprised voice came: "Everyone, look! Is that Mayor Su? Mayor Su is back!"

Su Xinghui was startled. He didn't get out of the car; he originally didn't want anyone to recognize him. He knew that if he let people recognize him, he wouldn't be able to leave for a while, and he had never been good at facing such scenes.
