Chapter 2696

After Shi Fengnian drank a glass of wine with Su Xinghui, Mayor Wei Ziming raised his glass again and said: "Come, Comrade Xinghui, I toast you a glass. Welcome to work in Baozhou City. With your arrival, you have strengthened the power of our Baozhou Municipal Government, which makes me more confident in next year's work!"

Su Xinghui raised his glass and said: "Thank you, Mayor Wei! I still need to learn from you!"

After drinking this glass with Wei Ziming, other municipal leaders also toasted Su Xinghui one after another. Since they toasted, Su Xinghui couldn't not drink, so he had no choice but to accept everyone's toast.

After the municipal leaders finished this round, Su Xinghui had to toast them another round, otherwise it would be impolite. Back and forth, Su Xinghui had another jin or so of wine in his stomach.

Zhao Yichen saw that the situation was not right, and he said to Su Xinghui: "Mayor Su, don't drink too fast next, drink slowly."

Zhao Yichen's words were not only for Su Xinghui, but also for these municipal leaders present. His meaning was to let them not pour wine for Su Xinghui anymore. He could naturally see that these guys had a posture of wanting to pour wine for Su Xinghui. It was rare for them to be so unanimous.

Su Xinghui could naturally hear Zhao Yichen's meaning. Although he was not afraid of others pouring wine, he could not ignore Zhao Yichen's kindness. He smiled and nodded to Zhao Yichen: "I know, thank you, Minister Zhao."

Zhao Yichen's meaning, others present naturally heard it too. They did have some tacit understanding today and wanted to pour some wine for Su Xinghui, but now that Zhao Yichen had spoken, they had to give Zhao Yichen face.

At that time, the speed at which the municipal leaders toasted Su Xinghui slowed down.

Shi Fengnian smiled and said: "Minister Zhao is very concerned about Comrade Xinghui. Comrade Xinghui, then you drink less wine and eat more food."

Zhao Yichen laughed and said: "Comrade Su Xinghui is an excellent cadre from the central ministries and commissions. If he drinks too much here, even I have a responsibility. Can I not be concerned about him?"

Zhao Yichen's words clearly had a warning meaning, letting these people in Baozhou not bully Su Xinghui too hard. Su Xinghui had someone behind him.

Zhao Yichen's words made everyone shudder. Yes, Su Xinghui was not a good man or woman who could be bullied at will. His background was so strong that none of those present could compare. If he was offended too hard now, and he retaliated, it would be enough for them to suffer.

Thus, everyone stopped actively drinking with Su Xinghui, and they toasted each other. Because it was noon, they wouldn't drink too much. After about ten more minutes, they started eating. Not long after, this welcome banquet ended.

After eating, Zhao Yichen and Su Xinghui were arranged to rest at the Municipal Government Guest House for a while, and then Zhao Yichen returned to Yanzhong City. Before leaving, he specifically shook hands with Su Xinghui and said: "Work hard, if there is anything you need help with, just call me."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "I know, Minister Zhao, have a safe trip."

After work in the afternoon, Bian Shuangxi, Director of the Municipal Government Office, personally brought Su Xinghui to his office. The Municipal Government Office Building was a six-story building, and Su Xinghui's office was on the fourth floor. This was a suite-style office, but it was clearly two offices connected together.

The Municipal Government Office Building had been built for more than forty years. The office buildings forty years ago were all in this kind of tube-building layout. Each office was straight and simple, and the area was not very large.

Later, this kind of office clearly did not meet the needs of the leaders, so two or even three offices were connected to become a suite-style office.

Like this office, one room was an office, and the other room was a lounge. A small bathroom was also renovated inside. Leaders could rest inside at noon. The office conditions were naturally much better.

Originally, many municipal-level units also worked in the Municipal Government Office Building. Later, these municipal-level units moved away one after another, so there were vacant offices to carry out such renovations.

Bian Shuangxi asked: "Mayor Su, are you satisfied with this office?"

Su Xinghui sized up this office. This office had also been repainted, the office furniture was all brand new, there was a brand new desktop computer on the huge desk, and there were a few potted landscapes in the corners of the office.

Bian Shuangxi also brought Su Xinghui to the lounge inside to take a look. The lounge was also repainted, with a bed at least two meters long and two meters wide, as well as furniture such as wardrobes. The bathroom was fully equipped with electric water heaters, bathtubs, washbasins, toilets, and other bathroom utensils.

Bian Shuangxi said: "Mayor Su, these are all brand new, you can use them with confidence. The hygiene here is cleaned by special personnel every day. If your bedding and toiletries need to be replaced, you can also tell us."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Alright, I know, thank you, Director Bian."

Bian Shuangxi smiled and said: "Mayor Su, don't be polite. Serving you is our duty."

Su Xinghui nodded with a smile, then sat on the swivel chair behind the desk and tested the height.

Bian Shuangxi also said: "By the way, Mayor Su, how should your residence be arranged? Will you stay in the Municipal Government Guest House, or should we arrange a house for you? Will your wife be transferred to Baozhou?"

Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and said: "If there is a vacant house, arrange one for me. However, my wife will not be transferred to Baozhou."

Like Su Xinghui, parachuted cadres who come from the central or provincial level, many people will not bring their family members over, so they generally will not want housing, but will open a room in the Municipal Government Guest House for a long time. The conditions here are good, and there are waiters to clean up, so they don't have to worry about it, which is quite comfortable.

But like such people, they generally will not stay at the local level for long. Bian Shuangxi knew this very well. He heard Su Xinghui wanted a house, but his wife would not be transferred to Baozhou. This made him a bit confused. Is Su Xinghui preparing to stay here for a long time or not?

However, this is not something Bian Shuangxi needs to worry about. Since the leader said he wanted a house, he would arrange a house for the leader. He nodded and said: "Mayor Su, that's fine. You will temporarily stay in the Municipal Government Guest House tonight. I can help you tidy up the house tomorrow so you can move in."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "That's fine, thank you, Director Bian."

Bian Shuangxi said: "You're welcome, Mayor Su. Then I'll go out first, you get busy."
