Chapter 2783: Xin Jing Invites to Dinner

On this day, Hackett came to Baozhou City. He came to check the terrain and landform of the road from Yinshan County to Niutouyu on the spot. After looking at the terrain and landform here, plus the geological survey report, as well as the feasibility study report, etc., the approximate budget of this road could be known.

In fact, as the General Representative of the Asia-Pacific region, Hackett didn't have to come here personally. After all, this was just a small project, which could not be counted as anything for the World Bank. However, as Hackett said, Su Xinghui was his friend, so he came here this time, which was also to see Su Xinghui by the way.

Su Xinghui introduced Hackett to Cai Jianguo. After all, this project belonged to the scope directly in charge of Cai Jianguo and could not be bypassed by Cai Jianguo.

When Cai Jianguo heard that the foreign old man in front of him was actually the General Representative of the World Bank in the Asia-Pacific region, he was surprised. This Su Xinghui's path was really wild. For such a small project, he even invited such a level of person to Baozhou. Cai Jianguo felt that he had some unimaginable things.

Cai Jianguo was very polite and enthusiastic to Hackett, and personally accompanied him to Yinshan County to check the terrain of Niutouyu.

Su Xinghui and Xing Guodong naturally accompanied Hackett the whole time. The common people in Niutouyu saw a group of foreigners come to their small mountain village and felt very strange. When they heard that these foreigners were from the World Bank and came here to prepare for road loans for them, they suddenly became very enthusiastic.

These common people enthusiastically entertained Hackett and them. They took out the best things in their homes, hoping to make the guests satisfied and let them build the road out of the mountain.

Their current mountain road was really too difficult to walk, making them go out of the mountain once, very difficult. When it rained and snowed, it was even more difficult to walk, which was simply to seal the mountain. They had enough of such days.

The enthusiasm of the local common people moved Hackett very much. After carefully checking the terrain here, he said to Su Xinghui and Cai Jianguo that the loan for this road was agreed in principle, and he would promote the headquarters to approve this project as soon as possible.

This made Cai Jianguo very happy. Initially, he didn't want to engage in this project, because he felt that spending so much money to build this road was completely making wedding clothes for Su Xinghui. However, now that Su Xinghui had implemented most of the funds, Cai Jianguo's idea changed.

After all, the construction of this road was still within the scope of Cai Jianguo's charge, and if this large ski resort was built well, it would also be a not small promotion for the economy of Baozhou City. In any case, it could drive the development of Baozhou City's GDP, which was a political achievement for Cai Jianguo.

As long as it could bring him political achievements, Cai Jianguo didn't look at Su Xinghui so unpleasantly.

Time reached the end of November, and it started to snow in the counties and districts of Baozhou one after another, and it snowed very heavily, which was a heavy snow, causing relatively big trouble for the travel of the common people in Baozhou City.

And in those deep mountains of Baozhou City, it was already snow-sealed. It was impossible for people outside to enter the mountain, and it was basically impossible for people inside the mountain to go out of the mountain.

Of course, if you really want to go in or want to come out, it is not completely impossible. For example, if you want to go to Niutouyu Village, you can first drive to Funiu Township, and then walk a few kilometers of mountain road to get to Niutouyu Village.

But with such heavy snow, reaching tens of centimeters thick, walking a few kilometers on that kind of mountain road was really too difficult to walk. If there was no life-and-death major event, basically no one would do this.

The most important thing was that the mountain road was too steep and too narrow, the sky was snowy and the road was slippery, and driving was too dangerous. If the secondary road was built well in the future, you could enter the mountain.

Fortunately, the telephone lines and telephone poles were not pressed by the snow much this year. Occasionally, there were some that were pressed, and there were maintenance personnel who went to repair them in the snow, so no village in the mountain lost contact.

Su Xinghui received Luo Guoxiu's report that this year, there was no casualty accident in the schools in the counties and districts below Baozhou City. However, some dangerous buildings were indeed pressed down by heavy snow, but the schools arranged the students in these dangerous buildings to safe places in advance, and some schools even let the students stop classes and go home.

Luo Guoxiu praised Su Xinghui with flattering words, complimenting Su Xinghui for his foresight. He said that if it weren't for Su Xinghui, there would definitely be several casualty accidents this year. He blew Su Xinghui to the sky and the ground, as if Su Xinghui was the wisest perfect person.

Su Xinghui was impatient to hear his flattery, so he raised his hand to stop his blowing. He said to Luo Guoxiu, "You did a very good job this year."

Luo Guoxiu was overjoyed. Being able to get Su Xinghui's praise made his bones feel a bit crisp. He smiled and said, "This is all Mayor Su's credit. I was able to do this well under your leadership."

Su Xinghui said, "It is your credit, it is your credit. You don't have to be so humble. However, the education cause of Baozhou City needs to be revitalized, and there is still a lot of work to be done. You cannot slack off, especially the problem of the loss of teachers, which must be taken seriously, and an effective measure must be taken to curb this loss."

Luo Guoxiu nodded and said, "Mayor Su, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. However, this loss of teachers is not so easy to curb. The teachers now don't have the dedication spirit we had when we were teachers. Now the most critical thing is the money problem. Only when the teachers' income is increased will they stay."

What Luo Guoxiu said, Su Xinghui naturally understood. In fact, it was understandable for teachers to be like this. Many teachers could hardly get their salaries and couldn't even support their families. How could they have such a noble consciousness to stay here to teach? Besides, the emperor didn't starve the soldiers. Wanting the horse to run and not wanting the horse to eat grass, how could there be such a thing?

There was also the problem of civilian teachers. Although many civilian teachers had slowly turned into public teachers in recent years, according to the situation Su Xinghui learned, in the countryside of Baozhou City, there were still some civilian teachers who had not yet turned into public teachers. Their treatment was very poor and there was no guarantee at all.

In the final analysis, this was still an economic problem. Putting aside economy and income, talking about dedication, that was all empty talk.

Su Xinghui said, "The money problem, I will solve it slowly. You should do some basic work well, do a good job in the ideological work of teachers, do a good job in the work of civilian teachers turning into public teachers, and effectively improve the treatment of teachers to retain talents."

Luo Guoxiu said sternly, "As long as there is no problem with money, I will definitely do these well."

After Luo Guoxiu left, Su Xinghui pondered for a while. This Luo Guoxiu's utilitarian heart was a bit heavy, but from the observation during this period, he executed the work he arranged quite well, and this person could still be used.

Just then, the phone on Su Xinghui's desk rang. Su Xinghui answered it. It turned out to be a call from Xin Jing. She said it snowed, and she got some mutton to make hot pot at home, wanting to invite Su Xinghui to eat at her home after work, to thank him for his guidance to her some time ago.

Xin Jing performed quite well in the mine rectification some time ago. Borrowing the momentum of the provincial committee investigation team, Xin Jing showed unusual toughness, took measures to close and rectify many mines, and also severely criticized the leaders of many functional departments who did not cooperate, contrary to the image of the somewhat weak female mayor she looked like before.

Xin Jing was suddenly so strong, which made Wei Ziming a bit caught off guard. However, due to the existence of the provincial committee investigation team and Su Xinghui's support at the mayor's office meeting, Wei Ziming was also helpless and passed the resolution to suspend all mines in the city for rectification.

Maybe this was the reason why Xin Jing suddenly wanted to invite Su Xinghui to eat mutton hot pot.

Su Xinghui didn't eat regularly during this period. He was busy with work, and it was impossible for him to cook by himself. So most of the time, he was with Xia Song. Two bachelors were either going to the municipal government canteen or going to the municipal government guesthouse to eat. Whether it was the food in the canteen or the food in the guesthouse, they were a bit tired of eating.

Xin Jing cooked at home by herself. Such home-cooked dishes should be good. Su Xinghui thought about it and felt a bit greedy. However, Xin Jing lived alone, and if he went to eat alone, it would be a bit inappropriate. This lone man and widow, if things went wrong, it would cause gossip. ===== CHAPTER 2785 =====
