After hanging up, Su Xinghui also called Hu Quanyou and Gao Zhiyong. They also gave them great help in the work of Baozhou City this time, and Su Xinghui also wanted to express his gratitude to them together.

Hearing that Su Xinghui had come to Yanzhong City, both of them agreed to come over immediately.

Su Xinghui asked Xia Song to book a private room in Building No. 3. Before long, Hu Quanyou and Gao Zhiyong arrived one after another. As soon as Hu Quanyou saw Su Xinghui, he said, "Mayor Su, you came to attend the meeting yesterday, why didn't you look for us last night? I would have treated you to a meal!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Collective activities last night, Vice Governor Wang ate together, how could I look for you?"

Hu Quanyou also knew that the first day of the meeting was generally a collective activity and one could not act alone, so he nodded and said, "Then I will treat this meal today."

Su Xinghui said, "I'll treat it. Minister Zhao and the others will come later."

Gao Zhiyong said, "Then I should treat it, I want to thank you!"

Gao Zhiyong was talking about his appointment as General Manager of the Provincial State-owned Assets Management Company last month. He knew that Su Xinghui and Zhao Yichen must have helped. He also planned to find a time to go to Baozhou City to thank Su Xinghui in person. It just happened that Su Xinghui came to Yanzhong City this time, so he thought he would treat this meal.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "General Manager Gao, I also want to congratulate you."

Gao Zhiyong said with a face full of spring breeze, "Thank you, thank you Mayor Su."

Gao Zhiyong was indeed full of gratitude to Su Xinghui. When he asked Su Xinghui for help that time, he didn't hold much hope. If he couldn't become this General Manager as he wished, he wouldn't blame anyone, only his own bad luck.

But who knew that the position of this General Manager actually fell on him? This was truly an unexpected joy. Gao Zhiyong also knew that this must be Su Xinghui's effect.

After meeting Zhao Yichen that time, he met Zhao Yichen alone two more times. Zhao Yichen didn't say anything at the time, but after their old General Manager retired, the candidate for the new General Manager was not decided for a long time, and Gao Zhiyong had been presiding over the work comprehensively.

Last month, the appointment was officially issued, and Gao Zhiyong was appointed as the General Manager of the State-owned Assets Management Group, with the rank set at the department level. This was truly an unexpected joy.

These days, Gao Zhiyong wanted to invite Zhao Yichen to a meal, but Zhao Yichen always said he was busy. Until today, when Su Xinghui came to Yanzhong City, Zhao Yichen was finally invited out. Gao Zhiyong naturally wanted to treat the guests.

While they were talking, Zhao Yichen and Feng Jiaonan arrived together. They all shook hands with Su Xinghui enthusiastically. Gao Zhiyong said with full gratitude, "Minister Zhao, thank you!"

Zhao Yichen laughed and said to Gao Zhiyong, "General Manager Gao, don't be polite. In the future, we will just support each other if there is anything."

Hu Quanyou also hurriedly greeted Zhao Yichen and Feng Jiaonan. Gao Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay, with Minister Zhao's words, in the future, as long as Minister Zhao has anything to help with, just order it."

At this time, Wei Jiashu and Qian Jian'an also arrived. They had also met Gao Zhiyong twice and knew that Gao Zhiyong had just been promoted, so they all congratulated Gao Zhiyong. Gao Zhiyong then called the waiter in and began to order dishes.

Except for Su Xinghui who was relatively young, the others were middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, with similar ranks and similar ages, all of them were in the prime of life. If they could support each other, it was indeed a not-so-small force.

In the officialdom, having such a network of connections was very important, and it was much more convenient to do anything.

While they were sitting and waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Zhao Yichen pointed mysteriously upward and said, "Xinghui, that person wants to see you tonight?"

Hearing Zhao Yichen's words, Su Xinghui knew that his relationship with Gan Yuru should also be relatively close; otherwise, how would he know about such a thing? Now only Chi Yongjun had called Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui hadn't told anyone yet.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise I would have returned to Baozhou after lunch today, but now I have to stay in Yanzhong for another night."

Hearing the conversation between Zhao Yichen and Su Xinghui, everyone showed surprise. Hu Quanyou asked, "Xinghui, who are you going to see tonight?"

Before Su Xinghui could speak, Zhao Yichen stretched out a finger, and everyone knew that it must be the number one leader who wanted to see Su Xinghui, so they all exclaimed in admiration.

In fact, this secret could only be kept for half a day. By the time Su Xinghui met Gan Yuru, everyone would know. Who Gan Yuru met every day and how long he met would not become a secret, and which people's future officialdom direction would be like this was also one of the weather vanes.

After Su Xinghui met Gan Yuru, the officialdom would naturally know about this. Now Zhao Yichen revealed this matter to them half a day in advance, which was also a small trick to make them feel closer. And those present were all people with very good relationships and steady mouths, so they would naturally not tell the outside world.

Su Xinghui meeting Gan Yuru was not something that surprised them too much, but it still made them very envious. They rarely had the opportunity to visit Gan Yuru alone. Gan Yuru had been in office for two or three years, and only Zhao Yichen had met him relatively often, while it was good for others to see him once or twice.

Like Hu Quanyou and Gao Zhiyong, who were considered cadres of state-owned enterprises, and whose ranks were relatively low before, they had even less opportunity to see Gan Yuru alone.

Being able to see the Provincial Party Secretary alone was naturally a rare opportunity, especially since Su Xinghui was only a deputy department-level cadre, which made it even rarer. But Su Xinghui's father-in-law was himself a Provincial Party Secretary, and he often met national leaders like Gu Shanmin, so for Su Xinghui, this opportunity was not rare.

Gao Zhiyong said enviously, "Xinghui, this is something we should congratulate you on!"

Hu Quanyou said, "Yes, we should drink a few more cups with Xinghui later."

Zhao Yichen said sternly, "Xinghui cannot drink too much today. If he is full of alcohol, the leader will have an opinion of him."

Zhao Yichen's words were words of maturity and prudence. Su Xinghui was going to see Gan Yuru. If he was full of alcohol, Gan Yuru would naturally have an opinion of him, thinking he didn't value this meeting. Zhao Yichen said this also to remind Su Xinghui to drink less, fearing that Su Xinghui was young and unstable.

Su Xinghui understood that he was well-intentioned. Although he was not afraid of drinking too much and would not be full of alcohol, he could not help but accept Zhao Yichen's kindness. He nodded and said, "Minister Zhao, I will not drink too much."

Sure enough, during the banquet, everyone toasted Su Xinghui, but they didn't let him finish it, only letting him take a small sip each time. Now they were friends supporting each other, so they naturally hoped that Su Xinghui would perform well in front of Gan Yuru.

After the meal, the group came out of the private room, but they happened to run into a group of people coming out of another private room. The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and among the people beside him, there was one Su Xinghui recognized: she was the beautiful host of Baozhou Municipal Television Station, Ling Shanshan.

Ling Shanshan was very close to that middle-aged man. Although she wasn't holding his arm, the two also appeared very intimate. She was dressed very beautifully today. Although it was only early May, she was already wearing a pink dress. Her long hair, which had been permed into large waves, had been straightened and treated with oil. Her long black hair hung behind her back, appearing very pure.

Old Han felt more and more that this Su Xinghui was somewhat ignorant of the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth. His leader didn't drink, but he was showing off. It seemed that this Su Xinghui was a person who was deeply favored by Mayor Xin.

But this was also good. If he could build a good relationship with Mayor Xin's secretary and say a few good words in front of Mayor Xin, maybe he could get a project from Mayor Xin.

Old Han was not like Cheng Kaibin. He had been rolling in the business world for many years and was well-versed in how to deal with these officials in the officialdom. Although Cheng Kaibin was Vice Governor Cheng's son, this identity could not be abused and could only be used as a stepping stone. Other rules that should be followed still had to be followed.

Old Han smiled and said, "Then let's drink Moutai."

After handing the menu to the waiter, Old Han poured tea for the two first, and then started chatting. That Cheng Kaibin was a straw bag and didn't know what to say in such an occasion. He was equivalent to a signboard. Old Han was well-informed.
