Chapter 2649

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many small tricks Ono Taro had, he couldn't shake this opponent.

Now Ono Taro's only reliance was the high concern of the Japanese Consulate General in Hujiang City, but such high concern had already helped him drag it out for so long, which was already very difficult, and it was not enough to help him win this cooperation project.

Just when Ono Taro was at his wit's end, Su Xinghui finally ended his research work in Hujiang City and was returning to the capital.

On the last night in Hujiang City, Hujiang Mayor Dong Yicheng, Executive Vice Mayor Tang Wenyu, Vice Mayor Pan, and several other municipal government leaders invited Su Xinghui and the members of the working group to have a meal together.

In any case, Su Xinghui was representing the State Planning Commission to conduct research, which was also one of the key tasks of Hujiang City recently, and it was worth paying attention to.

Moreover, behind Su Xinghui were several big shots like Lu Zhenghong and Gu Shanmin, as well as the Yu family, and even vaguely the shadow of Premier Nan. They couldn't afford to be too negligent.

Although Su Xinghui didn't give them much face during the research, that was fine during normal times. Now that the research group was returning to the capital, they had to come forward to invite Su Xinghui and the others to a meal to see them off.

This meal was still hosted at the municipal government guesthouse, and the banquet was very sumptuous. Su Xinghui naturally didn't say anything. This was a banquet to see off the research group. He wouldn't go so far as to boycott this banquet; that would be too inhumane.

After everyone was seated, Dong Yicheng said with a face full of spring breeze, "Director Su, you have been in Hujiang City for so long, and I have been very busy, so I haven't invited you to a meal. Please don't take offense!"

Dong Yicheng was very polite and didn't act arrogant at all. But this was also normal. The status of Su Xinghui's father-in-law, Lu Zhenghong, was the same as his, and Su Xinghui's own status was enough for him to pay attention to. He was an imperial envoy!

Su Xinghui smiled, "Mayor Dong is too polite. Your work is busy, how could I dare to disturb Mayor Dong?"

Tang Wenyu nodded with a smile, "Director Su, I'm sorry. It's only today that I'm having a meal with you. It's a pity you're leaving. Today we must drink a few cups!"

Su Xinghui looked at Tang Wenyu. Tang Wenyu was a middle-aged man around fifty, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and elegant, making people feel good at first sight. But Su Xinghui knew that he later had big problems with his finances.

Su Xinghui said with a smile, "Fine, Mayor Tang, let's drink a few cups."

Vice Mayor Pan laughed, "Mayor Wenyu, then you probably aren't Director Su's opponent."

Tang Wenyu laughed, "Then we can only have a few of us besiege Director Su."

Su Xinghui said, "With several big mayors besieging me, I can only admit defeat."

Everyone at the table laughed.

Dong Yicheng and Tang Wenyu's drinking capacity was actually quite good, at least better than Vice Mayor Pan's. However, they were even more steady than Vice Mayor Pan. They said they wanted to besiege Su Xinghui, but in reality, they drank quite elegantly, only occasionally drinking a cup with Su Xinghui.

Their bearing was also quite good, and they didn't mention at all that Su Xinghui didn't give them face during the research process. They just talked about some idle topics, flowers and moon, and even anecdotes about officialdom were told quite a bit, which made everyone at the table burst into laughter from time to time.

In short, the atmosphere at the wine table was quite good, which made Su Xinghui admire them quite a bit. They were indeed worthy of being high-level cadres.

In fact, this time Su Xinghui's research in Hujiang City, overall, the situation of Hujiang City's state-owned enterprises was quite good, and successful examples in state-owned enterprise reform were still the majority.

Although Su Xinghui's research report also pointed out some problems, most of them were achievements, so it was normal for Dong Yicheng and Tang Wenyu to have a bottom line even if they couldn't see the research report.

Hujiang City is worthy of being the most active city in the mainland's economy, and it still has the confidence!

Of course, Dong Yicheng and Tang Wenyu didn't know about the research report on Hujiang City's real estate market that Su Xinghui did secretly. If they knew, they might not have been so calm. Premier Nan also called them over last month to ask about this aspect.

Dong Yicheng and Tang Wenyu talked and laughed at the wine table, and Vice Mayor Pan would also drink a cup with Su Xinghui from time to time, saying a few words, and Mu Dezhang and others would also join in the fun from time to time, so the atmosphere at the wine table was always very good.

Su Xinghui also fully demonstrated his modesty and caution as a younger generation, without any of the sharpness he showed at the Hujiang Machinery Factory that day, which also made Dong Yicheng and Tang Wenyu marvel.

They, of course, also heard about what happened at the Hujiang Machinery Factory that day. At that time, their first feeling was that Su Xinghui was a bit pretentious. They were all cadres, why bother to put on a righteous look?

This was also one of the reasons why they didn't come forward to accompany Su Xinghui for a meal during this period. In case they invited Su Xinghui to a meal, and this young man didn't appreciate it, it wouldn't be very good to make things unpleasant.

I didn't expect to see Su Xinghui today, but it was a bit different from the rumors. Su Xinghui appeared very modest and cautious, yet neither humble nor arrogant. This is truly an outstanding young man!

Dong Yicheng was even more moved. No wonder Premier Nan valued Su Xinghui so much.

Dong Yicheng was an old subordinate of Premier Nan. He, of course, knew that Su Xinghui's relationship with Premier Nan was unusual. When Mi Xiuyuan came to Hujiang and said he wanted to cooperate with Hujiang Machinery Factory, in fact, Dong Yicheng secretly helped Su Xinghui and Mi Xiuyuan a little bit. At that time, he said he wanted fair competition, which was favorable to the Mi Group under the circumstances at that time.

This was because Dong Yicheng knew the relationship between Su Xinghui and the Mi Group, plus he was a bit dissatisfied with Ono Corporation's conditions, hoping to introduce a competitor for them, so he would do so.

And the Mi Group's performance also surprised Dong Yicheng. Their conditions were quite favorable to Hujiang City.

This matter also made Dong Yicheng look at Su Xinghui even more highly. From this matter, Dong Yicheng couldn't see any personal interest of Su Xinghui at all. This matter, for the Hujiang Machinery Factory, or more accurately, for the country's interests, was the greatest.

Therefore, Dong Yicheng felt that Su Xinghui was indeed a cadre who had the country's interests in his heart. Dong Yicheng still respected such a cadre.

Tang Wenyu and Vice Mayor Pan, of course, also knew that the Mi Group's participation in the Hujiang Machinery Factory had something to do with Su Xinghui. What they thought about this matter was unknown, but cadres who could reach this level were all able to hide their emotions, so it couldn't be seen on the surface.

They were always very harmonious, maintaining a good atmosphere, and ended this farewell banquet happily.

After the banquet, Dong Yicheng held Su Xinghui's hand and said, "Director Su, I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow. Let's drink again if we have the chance."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Fine, Mayor Dong, next time you go to the capital, I'll invite you to drink!"

Dong Yicheng laughed heartily, "Good, it's a deal!"

Subsequently, Tang Wenyu and Vice Mayor Pan also shook hands with Su Xinghui one by one to say goodbye, telling Su Xinghui to rest early so he could go to the capital the next day.

After they left, Su Xinghui returned to his room and called home. After Lu Xiaoya answered the phone, Su Xinghui told her that he would return to the capital tomorrow.

Lu Xiaoya was, of course, very happy. She said, "You are finally returning!"

Su Xinghui heard some hesitation in Lu Xiaoya's words. He asked, "Xiaoya, what's wrong with you? Is there something going on?" ===== CHAPTER 2651 =====
