Chapter 260

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Kaishan called Su Xinghui to his office, saying he wanted to discuss the trip to Jiangcheng the next day.

In fact, the two had already discussed this matter before, but Zhang Kaishan always felt a bit uncertain, so he wanted to call Su Xinghui over to confirm a few things.

As soon as Su Xinghui arrived, Zhang Kaishan called him into his study, let him sit down, and asked, "Xinghui, what time are we departing tomorrow morning?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Didn't we already agree? Departing at 6:30!"

Zhang Kaishan smiled and said, "It seems I'm less composed than you. By the way, do we really not need to buy more gifts to pay a New Year's visit to Secretary-General Lu?"

Su Xinghui said, "No need to buy anything too valuable. Before the New Year, Yezhugou Village sent me a few pheasants and bamboo rats. We can take two of each to Jiangcheng; they are alive, which is the best gift. Besides that, we can just bring some pastries from Shangjun County."

Zhang Kaishan nodded and said, "Hmm, these pheasants and bamboo rats are good. They aren't too expensive, but they are rare and have some special significance."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Yes, you are absolutely right. These things have special significance; they are the fruits of our agricultural industrialization, achieved under the direct care of Secretary-General Lu. They couldn't be more appropriate as a gift for him."

Zhang Kaishan said happily, "Since we have these, I can rest easy. A big stone in my heart has finally fallen."

Su Xinghui said, "Looking at you, you've been under a lot of pressure these past few days."

Zhang Kaishan nodded and said, "Yes, quite a few things have happened in the county these past few days, which I'm sure you know. But overall, the situation in the county is still developing in a good direction. I believe that after the New Year, the situation in the county will only get better. Come to think of it, these things all have something to do with you."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I just had good luck."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Whether it's luck or some other reason, the situation in the county is very good right now. We must seize the time and strive to develop the county's economy!"

Su Xinghui nodded. The situation in the county is indeed quite good now; compared to when he was reborn last year, the situation has opened up a lot.

At this time last year, Shan Guozhi and Tao Yan's group could be said to cover the sky with one hand in the county. Following behind them were several standing committee members, and the other standing committee members didn't dare to offend them, at most maintaining neutrality. Zhang Kaishan was isolated and helpless, whether on the county government side or the county committee side.

But it was precisely because of Su Xinghui's efforts that the current situation is very different. Now Zhang Kaishan has joined forces with County Party Secretary Comrade Ji Tao, and several wavering standing committee members are slowly leaning towards them. Even within Shan Guozhi's own camp, there have been waverers.

And the events that occurred on the first day of the Lunar New Year directly shook the foundation of Shan Guozhi's side. Tao Yan, a heavyweight standing committee member who controlled the political and legal departments, actually had a car accident and is basically impossible to return to this position.

The person temporarily replacing Tao Yan to fully preside over the work is Xu Shixie, who is on Comrade Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan's side. This means that the Public Security Bureau, which was previously an important stronghold for Shan Guozhi's side, is very likely to change hands.

Under such favorable circumstances, the economic construction of Shangjun County will definitely accelerate, completely different from the stagnant situation of the past. Su Xinghui has reason to believe that the economy of Shangjun County could undergo earth-shaking changes this year.
