Chapter 325

Zhang Kaishan sat in Lu Zhenghong's car. Behind him, more than ten gazes that wished they could kill him were cast, but Zhang Kaishan remained calm as usual.

The motorcade set off. Lu Zhenghong actually didn't like so many people accompanying him, but he also knew that this was the current state of officialdom, and he couldn't avoid it. Therefore, he could only let them be.

The motorcade set off around 6:30 AM. Before setting off, naturally, the county party committee staff had notified the Meng Hu Ling township government. The relevant people in the Meng Hu Ling township government naturally also got up very early. They were already prepared, and as soon as they received the call, they all set out and waited at the intersection to the township government.

Halfway, Lu Zhenghong saw the construction site of the Shangmeng Highway. He signaled for the car to stop, got out, and asked about the road construction. The workers were a bit at a loss when facing such a scene, so they called Xu Xiaoguang over.

Xu Xiaoguang had seen some of the world after all, so he answered some of Lu Zhenghong's questions relatively calmly. When Lu Zhenghong heard Xu Xiaoguang say that this road could be fully opened to traffic in the second half of this year, he seemed very satisfied and took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Xiaoguang.

This scene was naturally recorded by the reporters who came with Lu Zhenghong. Every move of the provincial party committee leaders is very important, and reporters certainly couldn't miss such a scene. If they missed it, they wouldn't be a qualified reporter.

At the construction site, Lu Zhenghong stayed for about ten minutes. After shaking hands and saying goodbye to Xu Xiaoguang, he returned to the car, and the motorcade set off again.

Watching the motorcade go away, Xu Xiaoguang was a bit stunned, because he recognized Lu Zhenghong. Wasn't this Lu Xiaoya's father whom he had met in Yezhugou Village? He was actually a provincial party committee leader?

The motorcade passed the construction site and soon arrived in Meng Hu Ling. At this time, it was only about 7:10 AM. Seeing the people from the Meng Hu Ling township government waiting at the intersection, the motorcade stopped.

Lu Zhenghong got out of the car and shook hands with Chen Hongfu. He smiled and said, "Comrade Hongfu, we have met in Meng Hu Ling. Do you remember?"

Chen Hongfu was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He stammered, "I'm sorry, Secretary-General Lu, at that time I, I was disrespectful!"

Lu Zhenghong laughed loudly, "What's there to be disrespectful about? Getting along between comrades, being natural is best."

The conversation between the two made the regional and county-level officials following behind secretly shocked. Lu Zhenghong had been to Meng Hu Ling before? How is this possible? The schedule of a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has strict arrangements, and his itinerary is also watched by countless eyes. Now there is basically no room for micro-visits.

They, of course, didn't know that when Lu Zhenghong came to Meng Hu Ling, he was still the Director of the Party History Office whom no one paid attention to.

After shaking hands with Chen Hongfu, Lu Zhenghong shook hands with Dong Jianshu and others. Of course, it was all ceremonial. Only when shaking hands with Su Xinghui did his face carry a kind smile, with an attitude as if treating his own nephew.

Subsequently, something that made everyone's jaws drop happened again: Lu Zhenghong let Su Xinghui get into his car and let the motorcade set off.

The township government group only brought one new jeep, and one car was clearly not enough. However, the county leaders brought many cars. Those from the township government who didn't have cars sat in the cars of county leaders they were familiar with and followed the motorcade.

They wouldn't miss the chance to have close contact with a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee no matter what.

After getting into Lu Zhenghong's car, Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Lu, there are quite a few people here today!"

Lu Zhenghong sighed, "Sigh, they insisted on following, and I couldn't help it. This is really a waste of manpower and material resources. I'll have to come out less in the future."

Su Xinghui understood Lu Zhenghong very well. Indeed, among officials, there are people like Shan Guozhi who like to be surrounded by crowds, but not everyone likes that feeling. Lu Zhenghong didn't like being surrounded by crowds.

Lu Zhenghong is a person who has experienced the trough. During that period, his surroundings were cold and clear. He felt the fickleness of the world more deeply than ordinary people. He knew deeply that this kind of being surrounded by crowds was actually just a false prosperity. Those people surrounded him not because they respected him as an individual, but only because they respected his position as a standing committee member.

The current Lu Zhenghong is no longer interested in those who crowd around him and flatter him. What he likes more is someone like Su Xinghui who can be neither humble nor pushy and treat him equally in front of him. It's just a pity that there are too few people like Su Xinghui, which makes Su Xinghui's preciousness even more prominent.
