Chapter 2408

Su Xinghui said, "In this kind of weather, you have to drink this liquor to feel satisfied."

Yin Deshan raised his glass again and said, "Come, Team Leader Su, let me toast you again!"

Su Xinghui said, "Old Factory Manager, you're at such an old age, don't drink so fast."

Yin Deshan said, "This is nothing. When I was young, I could drink over a jin of liquor without any issues."

As they spoke, Auntie Guan brought out a plate of dishes and a large plate of dumplings. She smiled and said, "There aren't any good dishes in the shop, but there are plenty of dumplings. Dumplings and liquor, the more you drink, the more you have!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "That's right, dumplings and liquor, the more you drink, the more you have!"

Everyone laughed. Although it was just power that had been restored today, and they were in this simple snack shop eating simple dishes and dumplings while drinking bulk liquor, they were as happy as if they were eating a grand feast. Their faces were filled with sincere smiles because they finally saw hope.

As Auntie Guan brought out dish after dish, the atmosphere in the snack shop became increasingly lively. Almost everyone in Yanbei Province knew how to drink, even the female workers could drink a few glasses. They took turns toasting Su Xinghui and the young men from the working group, drinking and chatting, with bursts of hearty laughter echoing in the shop.

That night, Yin Deshan drank too much, and several others were also drunk. After the meal, Yin Deshan wanted to send Su Xinghui back to the municipal committee guesthouse. Su Xinghui wouldn't let him, saying, "Old Factory Manager, I'll send you home first, then I'll go back. Nothing will happen."

Yin Deshan said, "Team Leader Su, you don't know, it's not peaceful on this road. There are too many laid-off workers, and it's inevitable there are a few good-for-nothings."

Su Xinghui said, "It's fine, I'll go back myself. Don't worry, you're at such an old age, go back and rest early!"

The other workers also said, "That's right, Old Factory Manager, you go back first, we'll be responsible for sending Team Leader Su and his team back."

Yin Deshan was drunk, but he was still quite clear-headed. He nodded and said, "Fine, then I'll go back first. You guys must send Team Leader Su back!"

The workers nodded together. Guan Physician and his wife said to Su Xinghui, "Team Leader Su, come back to eat at our place next time."

Su Xinghui waved goodbye to them and walked toward the municipal committee guesthouse under the escort of those workers.

In fact, with Su Xinghui's skills, he didn't need their escort at all. He did this just to put their minds at ease.

However, those workers were very careful. They were extra vigilant along the way. The security in this area was indeed not very good, which was of course because there were too many laid-off workers. It was so late now, and there were no streetlights in this area, so it was indeed somewhat dangerous.

The workers escorted Su Xinghui and his group all the way to the municipal committee guesthouse. Su Xinghui and his team entered the guesthouse, turned, and waved goodbye to the workers. The workers also waved goodbye to Su Xinghui before turning and disappearing into the darkness.

Yi Bingcheng was still sitting in the guesthouse lobby, waiting for Su Xinghui. Seeing Su Xinghui return, he almost jumped off the sofa. He eagerly greeted Su Xinghui and said, "Team Leader Su, nothing happened on the road, right?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Mayor Yi, nothing happened on the road."

Yi Bingcheng said, "Then let me go to your room to talk."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Sure."

The two went upstairs and entered Su Xinghui's room. They sat opposite each other. Yi Bingcheng said, "Team Leader Su, the leaders of the Yanfang Group were prepared to give you a proper welcome today, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing. They feel very sorry for you!"

Su Xinghui smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if they are sorry to me, but they cannot be sorry to the workers."

Su Xinghui's words made Yi Bingcheng pause, but he immediately smiled again: "Team Leader Su, the leaders of the Yanfang Group are prepared to set up a table at the Yanzhong Hotel tomorrow to welcome you. They were originally going to wait for you here, but I told them to go back first. They asked me to make sure to pass the message."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "Mayor Yi, I won't drink this welcome wine. Isn't the company in great difficulty now? Keep this money to buy coal for the company."

Yi Bingcheng felt completely uncomfortable. Why was it so difficult to talk to this Su Xinghui? However, no matter how difficult, he had to say it. He said to Su Xinghui, "No matter how difficult the company is, they don't care about the money for a meal. They mainly feel sorry for you today, and since you just arrived at the company, they wanted to welcome you. There's no other meaning."

Su Xinghui still shook his head and said, "Mayor Yi, I really won't eat this meal. The Yanfang Group spends over ten million on entertainment expenses a year; I don't want to make any contribution to this figure. Fine, Mayor Yi, I'm a bit tired today and want to rest. You should go rest too!"

Since Su Xinghui had already issued an order to leave, Yi Bingcheng stood up helplessly and said, "Fine, Team Leader Su, then you have a good rest."

Watching Yi Bingcheng leave, Su Xinghui smiled contemptuously. He took out his phone and made a few calls. After finishing, he went to the bathroom to wash his face. Just after washing his face, he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw Xia Song standing outside.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "What, do you have something to tell me?"

Xia Song said, "I want to talk to you."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, come in."

Xia Song entered the room and closed the door. Just after sitting down, he said excitedly, "Brother Su, you were really great today. You're so amazing; you said you'd restore power, and you did! Those workers love you so much!" ===== CHAPTER 2410 =====
