Chapter 2390: The Mysterious Midnight Visitor

At the end of October, Su Xinghui took the members of the working group to Yanbei Province. The entire membership of the working group was himself as the leader, plus Xia Song, and two young people sent by the Economic System Reform Department.

These two young people were named Lin Zhenhua and Hao Zebo. Both were university students assigned to the Planning Commission this year. Lin Zhenhua graduated from Renmin University, while Hao Zebo graduated from Tsinghua University. Both were 22 years old.

Su Xinghui just liked using such young people. He had just arrived at the ministry and wasn't very familiar with the people there, so using such young people would at least have some malleability. And such young people often had more sharpness; some older people were old hands in the ministry and might not be as useful as these young people.

Although Lin Zhenhua and Hao Zebo were not many years younger than Su Xinghui, they truly admired him. Su Xinghui's resume was simply too dazzling. Becoming a county party secretary at 27—this was the only one in the country, with no other like it!

Moreover, Su Xinghui had many halos on him. No matter where he was, he had outstanding political achievements. He was also a national hero representative for flood fighting and disaster relief, and in Chongjin County, he had set several national firsts. Such a reputation was not gained by luck.

Lin and Hao were both young people in their early twenties, with ideals of building a career, a heart full of passion, and a worship of heroes. So, Su Xinghui, who was now their working group leader, naturally became their idol.

Although the conditions in Yanbei Province were far inferior to those in the capital, they were still very excited. Being able to follow such a legendary figure was already enough for them to feel lucky.

Yanzhong City, as the name suggests, was in the central part of Yanbei Province, about 200 kilometers from the capital, which was not too far. The Jing-Yan Expressway was completed and opened to traffic two years ago, so the traffic between the two places was very convenient, and it only took two hours by car.

Yan Xianhua was quite decent; he assigned a car to Su Xinghui, which was of good quality—an Audi. However, Su Xinghui did not let Yan Xianhua assign a driver; both he and Xia Song could drive.

This time coming to Yanzhong City, Xia Song drove. Along the expressway, it only took two hours to drive from the capital to Yanzhong City.

Yanzhong City was a typical northern city. From the expressway, one could see the vast wilderness along the road, which was completely different from the scenery in the south.

After entering the urban area of Yanzhong City, Su Xinghui could see that compared to the capital, the level of urban construction in Yanzhong City was far behind. It also couldn't compare to Jiangcheng. Many buildings here appeared quite old, and there were few high-rise buildings. From this, one could see that the economic development of Yanzhong City was not satisfactory.

In fact, as a provincial capital, Yanzhong City's GDP ranking was not even on the list in the country. Last year, it only ranked 30th in the national city GDP ranking. One must know that more than a decade ago, Yanzhong City was still an important industrial city and played a pivotal role in the national economic map.

The history of Yanzhong City's rise and fall was, in fact, a history of the rise and fall of state-owned enterprises. ===== CHAPTER 2392 =====
