Chapter 2595

However, Su Xinghui did not mind. He did not believe his status needed to be highlighted in such a way, and he certainly wouldn't put on airs or give Mu Dezhang a cold shoulder because of it.

Su Xinghui said, "Just lucky, just lucky!"

Mu Dezhang said, "You can't say that. I know a thing or two about your affairs, Director Su. You are truly worthy of being called young and promising!"

Mu Dezhang had indeed put in some effort regarding Su Xinghui. He recounted some of Su Xinghui's proudest achievements, but Su Xinghui only smiled faintly and said, "You've put in the effort, Director Mu."

Mu Dezhang said, "Heh, as soon as I heard Director Su was coming, I took the initiative to ask the city for this task of meeting you. It is my honor to be able to meet you, Director Su!"

Su Xinghui said, "You are too kind, Director Mu."

Su Xinghui was not particularly enthusiastic, but Mu Dezhang did not take offense. He introduced some of the buildings along the way in Shanghai to Su Xinghui and Xing Guodong.

In the year 2000, Shanghai could be considered one of the top major cities in the interior and was also an international metropolis. Therefore, the level of urban construction here was considered the highest in the interior, and it was not much different compared to the capital.

While introducing these buildings, Mu Dezhang also asked, "Our Shanghai is not bad, right?"

Shanghainese generally had a sense of superiority. Perhaps, apart from people from the capital, people from all other cities in the interior were "country folk" to them. However, this was normal; Shanghai was inherently very developed, so their pride was justified.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Mm, it's really not bad. You have built Shanghai well!"

Su Xinghui's words were sincere. Shanghai was indeed built very well. In the interior, it was one of the few cities that could represent China's image. Today, when Su Xinghui arrived in Shanghai and saw the level of urban construction here, he also felt it was the most developed city he had seen in China in recent years.

Mu Dezhang was very happy and said, "Shanghai is built well, but I think your capital is also not bad, not much worse than Shanghai."

Although Mu Dezhang was praising the capital, the words still carried a sense of superiority, giving Su Xinghui an urge to laugh, but he held it back. He nodded and said, "Mm, both the capital and Shanghai are not bad; they are both the pride of our China!"

Mu Dezhang was very excited and talked the whole way. Shanghai was huge, and the Municipal Government was very far from the Shanghai Railway Station. With traffic jams on the road, the journey took over an hour to reach the Municipal Government Guest House.

This traffic jam made Mu Dezhang a bit embarrassed. He said, "Sigh, everything in Shanghai is good, except that we love traffic jams."

Su Xinghui said, "Doesn't this just show that Shanghai has many cars? Many cars are also a symbol of development; traffic jams are a common ailment of big cities."

Mu Dezhang nodded and said, "Alright, Director Su, let's get out of the car. We have arrived at the Municipal Government Guest House."

The group got out of the car, and Mu Dezhang led Su Xinghui and the others directly to their rooms on the eighth floor, saying, "Director Su, you all wash your faces in your rooms and rest for a while. Ten minutes later, I will come to pick you up to go downstairs for dinner." ===== CHAPTER 2597 =====
