Chapter 2906

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "You parted on bad terms with Zhang Dacheng and the others? Then you haven't eaten. I'll go help you cook a bowl of noodles."

Xin Jing subconsciously wanted to refuse, saying she would go home to cook something, but she held it back. She nodded and said, "Then thank you, Xinghui."

Watching Su Xinghui enter the kitchen to cook noodles for her, Xin Jing's heart surged with waves. She had been married for so many years, but her husband had never cooked a bowl of noodles for her, had never cooked a meal for her, and had never even poured her a glass of water.

Now, Su Xinghui was cooking noodles for her in the kitchen, which made a strand of tenderness rise in her heart.

Before long, Su Xinghui brought out a bowl of noodles. The noodles had eggs, shredded meat, and chopped green onions. The aroma was fragrant, making Xin Jing's appetite stir as soon as she smelled it.

Although Su Xinghui ate in the canteen every day, he could still cook noodles in his kitchen. Sometimes when he was hungry at night, he could cook a bowl of noodles to eat.

Xin Jing quickly stood up, took the bowl of noodles, and said, "Thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "What's there to thank? It's just a bowl of noodles. I've eaten at your house so many times. If we're talking about thanks, I should be the one thanking you. Sit down and eat quickly."

Xin Jing sat down and started eating at the dining table. After taking a bite, she looked up and said, "It's really delicious. I really didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good, and these noodles are so delicious."

Xin Jing's words made Su Xinghui inexplicably think of a joke on the internet in later generations, which gave him a strange feeling. However, Xin Jing obviously didn't know this joke, and Su Xinghui was also a gentleman, so he forcibly suppressed his strange feeling.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I can cook too. When I have time, I'll cook a meal for you."

Xin Jing smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied that you cook noodles for me."

Saying this, Xin Jing lowered her head again and started eating the noodles.

Xin Jing's words made Su Xinghui feel even stranger. He also sat down and watched Xin Jing eat the noodles.

Xin Jing ate very happily. Before long, she ate the bowl of noodles clean. After eating, she stroked her stomach with her hand and said, "Hmm, it's really delicious. I'm finally full."

Su Xinghui asked, "You went to the Hongmen Banquet just now. How was the situation?"

Xin Jing then told Su Xinghui about her experience at the banquet.

It turned out that Xin Jing called Xiao Shiyan in the afternoon and said she would go to the banquet. When Xiao Shiyan got off work, he came to pick her up. He took Xin Jing to the Baozhou Hotel, where Zhang Dacheng was already waiting. After Xin Jing arrived, Zhang Dacheng respectfully welcomed Xin Jing into a luxury private room.

Once in the private room, Zhang Dacheng asked the waiter to serve the dishes. Xin Jing didn't speak and sat there watching his performance.

After instructing the waiter, Zhang Dacheng gave a look, and Xiao Shiyan said he was going to the restroom, leaving only Zhang Dacheng and Xin Jing in the private room.

Zhang Dacheng smiled and said, "Mayor Xin, you have been in charge of land resources for so long, and I haven't invited you to dinner yet. I'm really sorry, so I specifically asked Director Xiao to invite you to dinner today. I hope you can forgive me!"

Xin Jing said, "President Zhang, don't be polite. Whether we eat or not is not important. As long as your mine operates according to the law, pays taxes according to the regulations, and carries out reasonable mining and scientific smelting according to environmental protection requirements, that's enough."

Zhang Dacheng paused. He laughed dryly and said, "We have always been operating according to the law and paying taxes according to the regulations."

Xin Jing said, "President Zhang, your words are a bit untrue. If you have always been operating according to the law and paying taxes according to the regulations, then why did the land department issue that fine to you this time?"

Zhang Dacheng said, "I think this fine is a complete misunderstanding. Our Dacheng Mining is truly operating according to the law and has always been producing according to the standards of the environmental protection department. Therefore, I hope Mayor Xin can help us cancel that fine."

Xin Jing said, "If you think there is a problem with that fine, you can completely apply for administrative reconsideration. If the superior department also thinks there is a problem with that fine after reconsideration, we can cancel it. However, three months have passed now, and you have already missed the deadline to apply for administrative reconsideration."

The country passed the Administrative Reconsideration Law in 1999. Citizens, legal persons, or other organizations that believe a specific administrative act infringes upon their legitimate rights and interests can submit an application for administrative reconsideration to the administrative reconsideration organ, which will investigate the administrative act. If it is indeed inappropriate, the administrative act can be revoked.

The fine issued by the Land Bureau this time met the standards for applying for administrative reconsideration. Mines that received the fine could submit an application for administrative reconsideration to the Yanbei Provincial Land Department. However, applying for administrative reconsideration requires submission within sixty days of the fine being issued. Now three months have passed, so naturally, the deadline has long passed.

Zhang Dacheng thought to himself: *Would he dare to apply for administrative reconsideration? * This matter was being watched by the province. If he applied to the province, maybe after the investigation, the fine issued would be even heavier. This matter could only be handled behind closed doors; it was impossible to fight it openly.

Zhang Dacheng forced a smile and said, "Mayor Xin, I don't want to engage in any administrative reconsideration either. Wouldn't that hurt the harmony? It's better for you to raise your hand high and help me cancel that fine." ===== CHAPTER 2908 =====
