Chapter 2131

Yuan Yifu chatted with Su Xinghui for a while longer, then stood up and said, "I'll go back up then; I still have things to do this morning."

Su Xinghui stood up to see Yuan Yifu out. Yuan Yifu walked upstairs with his steady, measured steps, hands behind his back.

Su Xinghui shook his head and smiled, returning to his desk. He clearly understood Yuan Yifu's intentions; since the Provincial Party Committee had withdrawn the investigation team, Yuan Yifu naturally had to come and show goodwill.

However, during the time he was under investigation, Yuan Yifu hadn't done anything too excessive, except for that one time he convened an emergency Standing Committee meeting to punish the people in the Economic Development Zone. But that was understandable; they had arrested Pang Xingjie, the big secretary of the Provincial Party Committee—anyone would be afraid of that.

In that matter, Yuan Yifu had merely done what many others would have done, so Su Xinghui did not hold much of a grudge against him.

Su Xinghui did not have much energy to spare for the power struggles in the county right now; he had too many things to do. So, since Yuan Yifu was showing goodwill, he accepted it. As long as Yuan Yifu didn't stir up any trouble for him in the county, they could coexist peacefully.

On this day, Su Xinghui had intended to handle the backlog of official business, but his office was like a bustling marketplace, with people constantly coming to report their work. Even until the end of the workday in the afternoon, people were still coming to see him.

Most of those reporting work were mid-level cadres in the county. Many of them, besides reporting work, also wanted to invite him to dinner, but Su Xinghui declined them one by one. If he accepted every dinner invitation, he wouldn't have to eat at home for the rest of the year.

Before getting off work, Su Xinghui received a call from Yu Ruizhi, who also invited him to dinner. He accepted this invitation, and after work, he went to the County Party Committee guesthouse, where Yu Ruizhi had reserved a private room.
