Chapter 2301

Su Xinghui didn't pursue it anymore. Such problems would always exist. Although Su Xinghui's prestige in Chongjin County was now at its zenith, he couldn't make everyone overnight become a model of selflessness and serving the people. Situations like this bad attitude were the norm.

As long as Su Xinghui couldn't run to the grassroots every day, such situations would exist forever. Even if he knew these people's names and punished them, he couldn't fundamentally solve the problem.

However, the newly built county government office building was almost finished. After the Spring Festival, they would be able to move in, and the first floor of the new county government office building would naturally have an administrative service center. This administrative service center could largely solve the problems of functional organs being hard to enter, having ugly faces, and things being hard to handle.

Su Xinghui smiled and told everyone about this, saying that in the future, whatever they needed to handle, they could go to the new county government office building to handle it centrally. In the future, they wouldn't need to run to many places and spend a lot of time to handle things. If there were people with bad attitudes, they could also complain.

This made everyone very happy, and they all said that County Magistrate Su had done a practical thing for everyone.

Others said that the new district was indeed built very beautifully, which made people feel comfortable, but the old city hadn't changed much yet, and they hoped that County Magistrate Su could set his sights on the old city and let the old city change its appearance.

After Su Xinghui heard this, he nodded. This was indeed a very good suggestion, and the old city was indeed time for renovation.

Chongjin County's old city, like the old city of every county, had old buildings, and most of the buildings had no characteristics. They were all concentrated buildings built after the liberation thirty or forty years ago, all of which were "matchbox-like" buildings.

These buildings had no cultural relic protection value, were already very dilapidated, and because there was no planning, these buildings made the old city look very crowded, which was a destruction of the city's image. If there was no large-scale renovation, it would have a great impact on Chongjin County's overall planning.

Of course, Chongjin County also had some places with buildings from the Republic of China or even the Ming and Qing dynasties. These buildings still had some cultural relic value. These places were in the center of the old city, in some old alleys. If they wanted to renovate the old city, they also had to pay attention to the protection of these places.

Precisely because of this, Su Xinghui was relatively cautious about the renovation of the old city. Plus, last year he really couldn't spare his hands to renovate the old city, so the problem of the old city was left until now. Su Xinghui mainly carried out the construction of the new district.

However, the construction of the new district was also a necessary paving for the renovation of the old city. Once the new district was built, many old office buildings of functional departments could be vacated. These old office buildings could also be demolished, and if the shantytowns in the old city were to be demolished, the relocated households could move directly to the resettlement housing in the new district.

Therefore, Su Xinghui planned to start renovating the old city after the Spring Festival this year.

When Su Xinghui told everyone this news, everyone was even more happy. Most of these people were old residents of the county seat living in the old city. They might not have been so urgently hoping to live in new houses before, but when they saw the new atmosphere of the new district, they were all itching.

Who didn't hope to live in such a good house in the new district? Now that Su Xinghui said that the old city was about to be renovated, they were all cheering.

Su Xinghui patiently answered everyone's various questions, and in this process, he also told everyone about some of Chongjin County government's plans and convenient policies for this year, which could also let him know everyone's response to these plans and convenient policies.

Unknowingly, Su Xinghui had been chatting with everyone here for over an hour, and more and more people came to the shop to listen to Su Xinghui.

The sky was getting dark. The old lady said: "Alright, everyone stop talking. County Magistrate Su has been talking to you for so long, he's tired too. Let him go back."

Everyone looked outside, and the sky had gradually darkened. The pedestrian street outside was lit up. They hurriedly made a path and said: "County Magistrate Su, go back quickly."

Su Xinghui stood up and nodded: "Alright, I'll go back today. I'll come back to chat with everyone when I have time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Su Xinghui wanted to take out money to pay the old lady for the noodles, but the old lady wouldn't take it no matter what. She said that if Su Xinghui insisted on giving money, it was looking down on people.

Su Xinghui had no choice. After pondering for a moment, he said: "How about this, Auntie, I'll help you write a piece of calligraphy when I go back to be the sign for your shop? This can be considered my noodle money."

The old lady said happily: "That would be great! This is fine."

The old lady's daughter-in-law was a sharp-eyed person. She hurriedly went to a stationery store next door, bought pen, ink, and paper, and said to Su Xinghui: "County Magistrate Su, why don't you write a piece of calligraphy here on the spot?"

She knew that if County Magistrate Su could write a sign for their shop on the spot, how legendary would it be? In the future, she wouldn't have to worry about the shop's business.

Su Xinghui originally intended to write it at home, but the old lady's daughter-in-law had already bought the pen, ink, and paper, so he nodded happily: "Then I'll show my clumsiness."

The old lady's daughter-in-law spread a clean tablecloth on a table and spread a piece of rice paper on it. Su Xinghui opened the brush and asked: "Auntie, what words do you want me to write?"

The old lady's shop was originally called "Li Auntie's Snack Shop." She had no culture and could only take such a shop name. She said to Su Xinghui: "County Magistrate Su, you are a person with great learning, help me take a name for the shop!"

Su Xinghui nodded. He pondered for a long time, picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote three big characters on the rice paper in one go—"Baiweiju" (Hundred Flavors Residence), and then signed his name on the side.

Su Xinghui looked at the three characters and nodded with satisfaction. He put down the brush and said with a smile: "I've shown my clumsiness!"

When Su Xinghui was writing, the onlookers nearby were holding their breath and didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, Su Xinghui's characters were written, and a burst of cheers erupted from the crowd: "Good!"

These characters were indeed written well, and what was even better was the meaning contained in these three characters. The hundred flavors of life could all be tasted in this small shop.

The old lady was very happy, and her daughter-in-law was even more overjoyed. Once she found someone to make this calligraphy into a sign and hang it on the gate, would she have to worry about the business of this "Baiweiju" not being prosperous in the future?

Looking at this calligraphy, she seemed to see the scene of customers filling the door. ===== CHAPTER 2303 =====
