Chapter 2931
Cai Jianguo took the brocade box and sighed, "Mayor Su, I am truly impressed by you. I have never seen a cadre like you!"
Su Xinghui said, "We cadres in high positions have no worries about food or clothing and enjoy the treatment of high-ranking officials; why should we pursue those worldly possessions?"
Cai Jianguo said, "Mayor Su, hearing you say this, this old brother feels ashamed. My level is far from as high as yours!"
Su Xinghui said, "Mayor Cai, you don't need to say these things. If there is anything you need my help with, just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Cai Jianguo then said hesitantly, "It's like this: wasn't Miao Leshan placed under 'shuanggui'? This is because he didn't hold himself upright. His being placed under 'shuanggui' can be said to be a cause for public rejoicing. However, it's not good for the position of executive vice mayor to always be vacant. I heard that Mayor Su has relatively well-informed sources in the province, so I wanted to ask when the new executive vice mayor might be decided, so that everyone can be at ease."
Su Xinghui found it a bit amusing that Cai Jianguo would be so shy at such a critical moment and not even state his intention directly. However, this was normal; after all, Su Xinghui was twenty years younger than Cai Jianguo and held a lower rank. Cai Jianguo still felt a bit unnatural seeking Su Xinghui's help.
This also proves that Cai Jianguo is not the thick-skinned type. Those people don't care about such things and change their faces faster than flipping a book; people like Ma Changeng are typical examples.
Su Xinghui deliberately said, "Mayor Cai, I think you are qualified to be this executive vice mayor. Don't you have any thoughts on it?"
Cai Jianguo became quite embarrassed and said, "If there were such an opportunity, of course I would have some thoughts. However, I'm afraid I might not meet the requirements of the higher-level organization."
Su Xinghui said, "Does Mayor Cai want me to help inquire about this news as well?"
Cai Jianguo said, "If Mayor Su could help me inquire, I would be extremely grateful."
Su Xinghui pondered, "Since Mayor Cai still has thoughts on it, I can go and help you inquire about it."
Cai Jianguo was overjoyed: "Then thank you, Mayor Su. If Mayor Su can help me inquire about this news, your business will be my business in the future, and I will definitely repay this favor."
Su Xinghui said, "You can't say it like that. It should be said that we must strive to work for the country and the people; that would be repaying my favor."
Cai Jianguo said solemnly, "Right, we must strive to work for the country and the people."
On this day, Bian Shuangxi came to Su Xinghui's office. He reported some work to Su Xinghui and then said very casually, "By the way, Mayor Su, I have transferred Zhai Yingjie's work relationship to the municipal government, and he now has an official establishment."
Su Xinghui heard Bian Shuangxi's words, looked up, and said, "Old Bian, is this necessary? Isn't it fine for Zhai Yingjie's work relationship to be attached to the Education Bureau?"
Bian Shuangxi smiled and said, "Mayor Su, wasn't Zhang Heping arrested? An establishment in the car pool has become vacant. Besides, Zhang Heping's original establishment was originally a replacement for Zhai Yingjie's, so this establishment should rightfully be returned to Zhai Yingjie. So, I took the liberty of making the decision."
Zhang Heping's establishment when he entered the car pool was indeed a replacement for Zhai Yingjie's. However, Bian Shuangxi was one of the people who operated this matter back then. Now that he says this, it gives Su Xinghui a sense of dissonance.
However, he also knew that this establishment was indeed what Zhai Yingjie deserved. So, even though he knew clearly that Bian Shuangxi was showing favor to him, he couldn't refuse on Zhai Yingjie's behalf. The previous matter was indeed unfair to Zhai Yingjie, and it's good this way now; it can be considered as giving Zhai Yingjie justice.
Therefore, Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Okay, Old Bian, I understand."
Seeing Su Xinghui's expression, Bian Shuangxi let out a long sigh of relief. The Miao Leshan incident could be considered as Su Xinghui revealing the tip of the iceberg of his strength, but this tip of the iceberg was already enough to make people terrified.
Bian Shuangxi was no exception. He trembled at the fangs Su Xinghui suddenly revealed, because he had also intervened when Zhang Heping replaced Zhai Yingjie's quota to enter the municipal government car pool. Now that Zhai Yingjie's position in front of Su Xinghui was stable, if Zhai Yingjie were to report him, he would be miserable.
With Su Xinghui's strength, wanting to deal with him, an office director, would be a piece of cake. Therefore, the moment Miao Leshan fell, he decided to help Zhai Yingjie resolve this establishment. For Bian Shuangxi, resolving a worker's establishment in the car pool was not a difficult task.
Coincidentally, Zhang Heping was also arrested by the Public Security Bureau the next day. This immediately left a vacancy in the car pool, and this vacancy could just be given to Zhai Yingjie.
After some operations by Bian Shuangxi, Zhai Yingjie became a regular worker in the municipal government car pool. At the first opportunity, he went to Su Xinghui's office to report this news to Su Xinghui.
He hoped that this news could slightly remedy his relationship with Zhai Yingjie. He knew that Su Xinghui's opinion of him had always been very average, including his views on some of his practices. For example, Su Xinghui had always disapproved of the "small treasury" matter; the time he returned the money divided from the small treasury to Wang Shangqian was proof of that.
Bian Shuangxi could feel that Su Xinghui had an opinion of him, but he never took it to heart because his backer was Wei Ziming. However, now he felt that if Su Xinghui wanted to move against him, even Wei Ziming might not be able to protect him. Didn't he see that even Miao Leshan had fallen?
Not long after Bian Shuangxi left, Zhai Yingjie came in. He said to Su Xinghui excitedly, "Mayor Su, thank you!"
Su Xinghui naturally knew what Zhai Yingjie was thanking him for, but he smiled faintly and said, "Yingjie, don't thank me. I didn't say anything about this; it was Old Bian who took the initiative to handle it for you."
Zhai Yingjie said, "If I don't thank you, who should I thank? You have saved me several times. If it weren't for you this time, would Bian Shuangxi have taken the initiative to handle this for me? I'm afraid he wouldn't even look at me straight."
Although Zhai Yingjie is young, he doesn't know how many things he has experienced, and he has seen through the coldness of the world. Before he became Su Xinghui's driver, he was really like stinking dog shit on the street; no one paid attention to him.
After he became Su Xinghui's driver, his status improved significantly. Many people would greet him with flattering smiles when they saw him.
And after Miao Leshan fell, when those people greeted him, their waists were slightly bowed, revealing a flattering appearance.
Now that Bian Shuangxi took the initiative to transfer his work relationship to the municipal government car pool and helped him resolve his work establishment, Zhai Yingjie knew better than anyone: if it weren't for Su Xinghui, why would Bian Shuangxi help him with such a big favor?
Bian Shuangxi has always been very purposeful in doing things. For people who are of no help to him, even if you beg him, he won't help, let alone take the initiative to help with such a big favor.
