Chapter 2857

~6 min read 1,166 words

Like those drivers who drove special cars for leaders, they could at least drive an Audi. Not only was the car good, but when they went out with the leaders, they could also "borrow the tiger's power." People below also respected the leaders' drivers, calling them "department-level cadres," eating with the leaders, and not missing their share when giving gifts to the leaders.

Although Zhang Heping didn't care about the gifts others sent, he still cared about that kind of respect. And dealing with leaders every day, he still had hope of becoming a cadre, maybe he could become a leader or something in the future. Many leaders' drivers had taken this path.

And during this period, because of the mine rectification, Zhang Dacheng had run away to avoid the limelight, so the Zhang family's life was also very difficult. Therefore, during this period, Zhang Heping was also very low-key in the municipal government's car pool.

Unexpectedly, he ran to Su Xinghui's house to pay a New Year call on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It seemed he also knew that Su Xinghui had a bad opinion of their Zhang family, and Su Xinghui's background was too hard. If Su Xinghui's opinion was not eliminated, their Zhang family would sooner or later be in trouble.

However, how could Su Xinghui's opinion of the Zhang family be so easily eliminated? The Zhang family's problems were too serious and could not be glossed over so simply. They had to pay a sufficient price to atone for their sins.

Su Xinghui was also fortunate that Guo Suhua and Lu Xiaoya were not greedy people. With them at home, no one would accept gifts. If it weren't for this, it would really be possible for the "backyard to catch fire." How many leading cadres had fallen because their family members were greedy for money?

Su Xinghui had always been very busy during the New Year, busy to the point of being overwhelmed. This year was even busier because he had to return to Baozhou for duty on the 7th. Therefore, he had to fly to Xidu on the 2nd to pay New Year calls to his parents-in-law, and then go to Hudong Province to pay New Year calls. The time was very tight.

Early on the morning of the 2nd, Su Xinghui flew to Xidu with his wife and son. After the plane landed, the one who came to pick them up was still Feng Shulun. Of course, this time it wasn't just him, but also Lu Zhenghong's new secretary, Du Zhiqian, and the driver, Shen Feng.

Du Zhiqian was a middle-aged man under forty, wearing a pair of glasses, looking very refined. Su Xinghui had already heard his name, but this was the first time he had seen him today.

Su Xinghui saw Feng Shulun and said with a smile, "Secretary Feng, you came to pick me up yourself. I can't afford this!"

Feng Shulun laughed and said, "What can't you afford? If I didn't come, Zhiqian wouldn't know you. What if he didn't pick you up?"

Su Xinghui then looked at Du Zhiqian and said, "This must be Director Du, right?"

Du Zhiqian was Lu Zhenghong's chief secretary and also the deputy director of the Provincial Government Office, so Su Xinghui addressed him this way.

Du Zhiqian nodded with a smile and said, "Hello, Mayor Su. I am Du Zhiqian."

Su Xinghui smiled and shook hands with Du Zhiqian. Du Zhiqian's style was a bit different from Feng Shulun's, looking like a humble gentleman, which made Su Xinghui have a good impression of him.

Feng Shulun said, "Then let's get in the car and go."

The group got into the car together. Today, Shen Feng specifically drove a Coaster minibus, so there was enough room for everyone.

Before long, the car drove to Lu Zhenghong's house. Lu Zhenghong had gone to attend a group greeting today, so he was not at home. Only Song Qiaoli was at home.

Song Qiaoli saw her little grandson arrive and greeted him happily, shouting, "Niu Niu, Grandma's good grandson, Grandma missed you to death!"

Niu Niu said seriously, "Grandma, don't say the word 'death'; it's unlucky."

Song Qiaoli was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She said, "Fine, Niu Niu is right. Grandma shouldn't have said the word 'death'. Pui pui pui, good luck!"

Song Qiaoli hugged Niu Niu and wanted to pick him up, but she couldn't pick him up after trying. Niu Niu was tall and strong. Although he wasn't four years old yet, he was already nearly 1.2 meters tall and weighed nearly forty jin, so Song Qiaoli really couldn't pick him up.

Song Qiaoli said, "Our Niu Niu has grown so strong that Grandma can't even pick you up."

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya brought the things they brought in. Feng Shulun, Du Zhiqian, and Shen Feng also helped, bringing all those things in at once. Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Mom, Niu Niu is already forty jin, you really can't pick him up."

Song Qiaoli then held Niu Niu's hand and took him to get something to eat.

After Du Zhiqian and Shen Feng helped bring the things in, they said goodbye. They still had to go to the scene where Lu Zhenghong was attending the group greeting. However, Feng Shulun stayed behind to accompany Su Xinghui. Lu Zhenghong had also told him to eat lunch at home, and Lu Zhenghong would also return at noon.

Now the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee Secretary was reaching the age limit. After the Spring Festival, Lu Zhenghong would officially take the position of Qinxi Provincial Party Committee Secretary, so he was actually presiding over the work of Qinxi Province comprehensively now. This year, his work was particularly busy.

However, no matter how busy he was, he was still a father and a grandfather. Today, his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson came to pay a New Year call, so he still had to spare time to come home for lunch.

Feng Shulun and Su Xinghui sat in the living room together. Su Xinghui asked, "Brother Feng, how is your work in Zhenwu City now?"

Last year, Feng Shulun was sent to Zhenwu City in the north of Qinxi Province to serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor. Zhenwu City had some commonalities with Baozhou City. This was also a resource-rich city, but the resources there were mainly coal mines, and they were high-quality anthracite coal.

Feng Shulun said with a solemn expression, "Sigh, the situation in Zhenwu City is also very complicated. It's not easy to straighten it out."

Feng Shulun's words made Su Xinghui very understanding. Any resource-based city had a very complicated situation because the interests in those mineral resources were too great. Who didn't want to get a piece of the pie? Therefore, for the sake of fighting for these interests, all kinds of things could happen.
