Chapter 287

The smile on Chen Hongfu's face froze. He stood up abruptly and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Su Xinghui could only repeat this sentence again: "After the Lantern Festival, Comrade Lu Zhenghong, Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, may come to our Meng Hu Ling Township to take a look."

"Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee?" Chen Hongfu sat back in his chair in a somewhat dispirited manner, "Are you telling the truth?"

Su Xinghui was not surprised at all by Chen Hongfu's reaction. It would be strange if a township party secretary didn't react this way upon hearing that a member of the Provincial Standing Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee was coming to inspect his jurisdiction.

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course it's true. Secretary-General Lu told me personally."

Chen Hongfu picked up his thermos cup and took a sip of tea, but the effect of his thermos cup was too good, and the tea was a bit hot. He drank it too fiercely and sprayed the tea onto the floor.

Su Xinghui said, "Chen Shuji, take it slow."

Chen Hongfu took out a handkerchief, wiped the tea from his mouth, calmed his mood, and said, "In what context did Secretary-General Lu tell you?"

Su Xinghui said, "It was when I was paying a New Year's visit to Secretary-General Lu that he told me."

Chen Hongfu asked, "You paid a New Year's visit to Secretary-General Lu? What is your relationship with him?"

Su Xinghui said, "Actually, you have also met Secretary-General Lu."

Chen Hongfu was a bit confused: "When did I meet Secretary-General Lu?"

Su Xinghui laughed, "Think about it, when Manager Song of the Jiangnan District Crafts Store came for the first time..."

Chen Hongfu suddenly realized, "You mean Manager Song's husband, that Mr. Lu is Secretary-General Lu Zhenghong?"

Su Xinghui nodded with a smile.

Chen Hongfu gasped, "He is Secretary-General Lu? Then young Su, help me recall, did I have any impolite behavior at that time?"

Su Xinghui couldn't help but laugh. He laughed, "No, no, your etiquette was very thorough at that time."

Chen Hongfu said, "Was the Secretary-General making an unannounced visit at that time?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "No, at that time, Secretary-General Lu was not yet the Secretary-General. His position at that time was Director of the Provincial Party History Office."

Chen Hongfu thought about the gap between the Director of the Provincial Party History Office and the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee. He gasped again. Being able to jump directly from the position of Director of the Provincial Party History Office to the position of Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, although it was only a promotion of one level, was no less than reaching the sky in one step!

What kind of background does this Secretary-General Lu Zhenghong have? Chen Hongfu felt that his brain was not enough.

He thought for a while and said, "Young Su, it seems you are classmates with Secretary-General Lu's daughter, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "She is my junior, one grade lower than me."

Chen Hongfu decided not to think about the background behind Lu Zhenghong anymore. He was very fortunate. Su Xinghui actually had such a super trump card as Lu Zhenghong. Fortunately, he was still good to Su Xinghui. Of course, from now on, he would be even more cordial to Su Xinghui.

Chen Hongfu brought a cordial smile, "Young Su, what does Secretary-General Lu want to see in our Meng Hu Ling? How should we prepare?"

Su Xinghui said, "The reason our township can become a pilot unit for provincial agricultural reform is because of Secretary-General Lu's direct care. So, Secretary-General Lu is of course coming to see the situation of our township's agricultural reform this time. So, we can make some preparations in this regard."

Chen Hongfu asked, "What exactly needs to be prepared?"

Su Xinghui said, "There is nothing that needs much preparation. Last year, we did a lot of solid work and achieved a lot of results. As long as we continue to do these jobs now, it's fine. Now that Professor Rao and the others are here, I believe Secretary-General Lu will have a lot to see after he comes. Of course, you have to prepare what you should say to the Secretary-General."

Chen Hongfu also rubbed his hands. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. A member of the Provincial Standing Committee is coming to inspect. What a great opportunity! No matter who it is, they would be excited, right!

Su Xinghui added, "By the way, Chen Shuji, you can just know about Secretary-General Lu's coming. Don't spread it out. Wait until there is an official notice from the province."

Chen Hongfu nodded, "Alright, I know about this matter. Young Su, just let go and do what should be prepared. If you need us to cooperate, just say it."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright!"

Su Xinghui walked out of Chen Hongfu's office and helped him close the door. Chen Hongfu clenched his fist and waved it in the office, looking very excited. He was also a man in his forties, and such excitement was still rare for him. This couldn't be blamed on him; it was really that this matter was too exciting. He vaguely felt that his spring was about to come.

Su Xinghui came to the Party and Government Office. Wei Bingyi, Zeng Xianglin, Fu Bo, Wang Xiaojing, and Peng Kehong were all there. Today was the first day of work after the New Year, and there was not much to do, so they were all sitting and chatting.

Su Xinghui said "Happy New Year" to them with a smile, and they all said "Happy New Year" to him. Su Xinghui tidied up his desk and told Wei Bingyi that he was going out to handle some things. Wei Bingyi nodded and agreed, and Su Xinghui went to the post office.

In fact, even if Su Xinghui didn't greet Wei Bingyi, Wei Bingyi wouldn't say anything to him. However, Su Xinghui was very careful about such etiquette. He was very polite to all the leaders of the township government, which also made them feel very comfortable.

Arriving at the post office, Su Xinghui made a phone call to Zhang Kaishan's office. Today was also the first day of work for the county government. According to common sense, Zhang Kaishan should be in the office.

Sure enough, the phone rang a few times and was answered. The person who answered the phone was Zhang Kaishan. His voice was a bit low; he should be talking to someone.

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Zhang, it's me, Su Xinghui."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Wait for me for a moment."

Su Xinghui heard Zhang Kaishan on the phone seemingly saying to someone: "Old Zhao, let's talk here today. I have already understood the situation you mentioned."

Another person's voice said, "Okay, County Magistrate Zhang, you are busy, I'm leaving."

A dozen seconds later, Zhang Kaishan said in a relaxed voice, "Xinghui, are you back?"

Su Xinghui said, "I have returned to Meng Hu Ling. I took Professor Rao and the others' car today."

Zhang Kaishan said, "You have already arrived at Meng Hu Ling? I was planning to wait for you to return to the county and discuss with you how to welcome Secretary-General Lu."
