Chapter 2717

Su Xinghui nodded, and Luo Guoxiu went out cautiously, then closed the door softly and walked toward the stairs. When passing Xia Song's office, he went in specifically to greet Xia Song. Xia Song was Su Xinghui's big secretary, and he would have to go through Xia Song to see Su Xinghui in the future, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

Xia Song had a separate office next to Su Xinghui's office. Anyone who wanted to see Su Xinghui had to go through him first.

As soon as Luo Guoxiu entered Xia Song's office, he saw several other people sitting in his office, including Director Wang of the Health Bureau, Director Yang of the Culture Bureau, Director Hu of the Tourism Bureau, Director Wu of the Sports Commission, etc. It looked like they were all here to report their work to Su Xinghui, the newly appointed vice mayor in charge.

Luo Guoxiu felt a bit proud. In any case, he was the first to report his work to Vice Mayor Su, which could be considered an advantage.

He greeted Xia Song, "Section Chief Xia, you're busy, I'll leave first!"

Xia Song said, "Oh, Director Luo is leaving? Finished reporting your work to Vice Mayor Su?"

Luo Guoxiu nodded and said, "Yes, finished reporting."

Xia Song said, "Then take care."

Luo Guoxiu greeted the several directors and chairmen with a beaming face and left. His appearance made the several directors and chairmen very envious. It looked like Vice Mayor Su had a good impression of old Luo.

Next, the several directors and chairmen went in one by one to report their work to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui naturally combined kindness with severity, which made them all put away their contempt for this young vice mayor.

This afternoon, Su Xinghui continued to receive the directors and chairmen of the bureaus and committees he was in charge of. No matter how slow the news was, everyone now knew that Su Xinghui was their vice mayor in charge, so they had to report their work to Su Xinghui as soon as possible, or at least report in and get familiar.

After all, Su Xinghui was their direct superior, and such etiquette had to be in place. Otherwise, not only Su Xinghui, but other leaders would also have a bad impression of them. If they were so disrespectful to their direct leader, would they respect them?

After these directors and chairmen finished reporting their work to Su Xinghui, it was almost five o'clock. At this time, Zhang Heping came to seek an audience with Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui still met Zhang Heping. As soon as Zhang Heping arrived at Su Xinghui's office, he said with a fawning smile, "Vice Mayor Su, my father heard that you came to Baozhou City, and he prepared to invite you to dinner tonight at the Baozhou Hotel. I hope you can grace us with your presence!"

Su Xinghui asked, "Who is your father?"

Zhang Heping said, "My father's name is Zhang Dacheng, the chairman of Baozhou Dacheng Mining Co., Ltd., and also a member of the Baozhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He heard that Vice Mayor Su came to Baozhou to take office, so he wanted to invite you to dinner to express his feelings."

So Zhang Heping's father was a member of the CPPCC of Baozhou City. A member of the CPPCC of a city was generally a leader among democratic parties, religious figures, business figures, and non-party figures who had achieved success in literature and art in the city.

With the Zhang family's assets of over 100 million, they could be considered leaders in the business community of Baozhou City. No wonder he could become a member of the CPPCC of Baozhou City. However, Su Xinghui had no interest in meeting this Zhang Dacheng. He was unwilling to participate in such social engagements.

Therefore, Su Xinghui said, "Little Zhang, forget about the dinner. If there is a chance in the future, I will meet your father."

The smile on Zhang Heping's face stalled. He wanted to say something else, but Su Xinghui waved his hand and said, "Little Zhang, no need to say any more. You go busy first, I have things to do."

Zhang Heping asked with a forced smile, "Vice Mayor Su, do you need a car tonight?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "No need, you go busy."

Zhang Heping could only say to Su Xinghui with a forced smile, "Vice Mayor Su, you busy."

After speaking, Zhang Heping went out.

Su Xinghui looked at his back and shook his head in his heart, thinking that this Zhang Heping was still a bit unable to hold his breath. After all, he was still young. If he gave him a little bit of a cold face, he couldn't stand it.

Su Xinghui didn't take him to heart. Such a nouveau riche, no matter how rich, was not worth a straight look from him. He buried his head in the materials again.

Near the end of work, Xia Song came in again. He said to Su Xinghui, "Vice Mayor Su, Zhai Yingjie called and said he wanted to invite you to dinner at his home tomorrow noon. What do you think?"

Tomorrow was Saturday. Su Xinghui had just arrived in Baozhou, and he didn't have many affairs, so he had time. He was interested in Zhai Yingjie's invitation. However, Su Xinghui was afraid that his family would come to Baozhou to see him tomorrow, so he said to Xia Song, "I'll give you an answer in a few minutes."

Xia Song nodded and retreated.

Su Xinghui called Lu Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, are you coming to Baozhou tomorrow?"

Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Why? You've only been in Baozhou for a few days, and you've started missing us?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Of course I miss my wife. The municipal government arranged an apartment for me, and it's all set up. If you come, there's a place to stay."

Lu Xiaoya said, "This week is probably not possible. I have a report at work that I need to rush."

Su Xinghui was slightly disappointed and said, "Okay, since you have things to do, then you go busy."

Lu Xiaoya could hear the disappointment in Su Xinghui's tone. She said softly, "Don't be angry. If I have nothing to do next week, I will go see you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here next week."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xinghui called Xia Song in and said to him, "Then let's go to Zhai Yingjie's house for dinner tomorrow."

Xia Song nodded and went out to call Zhai Yingjie back.

That night, besides Zhang Heping, several other directors and chairmen wanted to invite Su Xinghui to dinner, but Su Xinghui refused them all. Su Xinghui believed that between their superior and subordinate relationship, inviting guests to dinner was a very vulgar behavior. He rarely participated in dinners invited by subordinates.

If it were friends, that would be another matter.

This afternoon, Su Xinghui went to the municipal government guesthouse with Xia Song for dinner. After dinner, he took some of the luggage he brought from the municipal government guesthouse to the apartment arranged for him by Bian Shuangxi. During his time in Baozhou City, this should be his home.

The things Su Xinghui brought from Beijing were mainly his calligraphy and painting tools. Some things he was used to using, such as his inkstone. The ink ground with it was what Su Xinghui was used to, so Su Xinghui had to bring these things over. Who knew if these things were easy to find in Baozhou?

Calligraphy and painting had now integrated into Su Xinghui's life and became one of the things he must do.

The first night living in this apartment was quite quiet. No one came to disturb Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui painted and wrote calligraphy here with concentration, and then read a book by the bed for a while before resting. This was also his habit.

The next morning, after Su Xinghui got up early, he exercised and practiced boxing as usual. He exercised in the small woods downstairs. The municipal government's dormitory area was located on a small hill in Baozhou City. There were many trees on this hill, many of which were large trees that could be hugged. Exercising here in the morning, the air was still very fresh.
