Chapter 3348: Provincial Economic Work Conference

At the end of September, Su Xinghui went to Yanzhong City. This time he was going to attend a provincial economic work conference. The deputy mayors in charge of economic work from all cities in the province went to Yanzhong to attend the meeting.

Chi Yongjun of course also attended this meeting. The two had not seen each other for a while, so on the night of registration, the two called out Wei Jiashu, Gao Zhiyong, Feng Jiaonan, Qian Jian'an, and Hu Quanyou, and had a good drink together.

After Chi Yongjun went to work in the local area, Su Xinghui also introduced Gao Zhiyong and Hu Quanyou to him. Regarding Chi Yongjun's work in Xihe, Gao Zhiyong and Hu Quanyou were also able to help a lot. Through repeated interactions, they became friends with a good relationship.

Coming to Yanzhong this time, everyone naturally had to have a meal together to enhance their feelings.

After the new Provincial Party Secretary, Wu Jianbai, took office, the positions of Gao Zhiyong and Hu Quanyou did not change, but the positions of the other few people had changed. Wei Jiashu went to the Urban Construction Committee and served as the director; Feng Jiaonan went to the Yanzhong Municipal Government and served as the Deputy Municipal Party Secretary; and Qian Jian'an went to the Provincial Party Committee and served as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee.

Although their levels were all lateral transfers, their power had all expanded. The places they went to could be considered key departments, and they also had boundless prospects. This was also because their performance in work was relatively outstanding, and Wu Jianbai was originally the governor, so they were relatively close to Wu Jianbai. Therefore, after Wu Jianbai served as the Provincial Party Secretary, he also made a relatively good arrangement for them.

Everyone had not seen each other for a while, and they were still very affectionate upon meeting. Everyone toasted each other. Among them, Chi Yongjun went against his past low-key style; he toasted frequently, saying words of thanks for everyone's care.

The few of them indeed gave great support to Chi Yongjun's work. For example, Wei Jiashu gave Xihe many good policies at the Urban Construction Committee; Gao Zhiyong helped Xihe's government investment projects solve many financing problems; and Hu Quanyou went without saying—the support of their Provincial Power Company for Xihe was also quite large. Now, the progress of Xihe's power facility construction was very fast.

Under such support, the development of Xihe City was also very fast.

Of course, Chi Yongjun was most grateful to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui gave him many good ideas and also introduced him to several powerful investors, which could be said to be decisive for Xihe's development. However, he knew Su Xinghui had a good capacity for liquor, so he only toasted Su Xinghui once and did not toast again.

Wei Jiashu smiled and said, "Mayor Chi, the economic growth rate of Xihe this year seems to be about the same as Baozhou's, right? You are still amazing!"

Chi Yongjun was of course somewhat proud, but he looked at Su Xinghui and could no longer be proud. He shook his head and sighed, "The economic growth rate is about the same, but what is Baozhou's foundation? And what is our foundation? Baozhou's GDP is one or two times more than Xihe's."

This was also the place where Chi Yongjun felt it was incredible. Now Baozhou's economic volume was several times that of Xihe, but their economic growth rate was still slightly higher than Xihe's. What kind of concept was this? He was simply impressed to the point of prostration by the combination of punches Su Xinghui had thrown over the past year.

Feng Jiaonan said, "Mayor Chi, you have already done very well. Baozhou ranks first in economic growth rate, and you rank second. This has entered the top three in the province, and it can be considered ranked in the country. Compared with you, our Yanzhong is far behind."

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Feng, no matter what, your Yanzhong City is still the boss in the province!"

Wei Jiashu said, "Anyway, at tomorrow's provincial economic conference, your two cities will definitely be the most prominent. Your economic growth rate is much faster than other cities. Come, let's toast them together!"

Wei Jiashu was the Director of the Urban Construction Committee, so he also had to attend the provincial economic conference.

Wei Jiashu raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses together to toast Su Xinghui and Chi Yongjun. The two had no choice but to raise their glasses and have a drink with them.

The atmosphere at the dining table was still very harmonious. After drinking, Hu Quanyou originally said he wanted to invite everyone to sing, but several people at the table had to attend a meeting tomorrow, so they all politely declined Hu Quanyou's kindness and returned separately.

Chi Yongjun and Su Xinghui both stayed at the Provincial Government Guesthouse, so the two returned together. On the way, Chi Yongjun still had a feeling of not having had enough; he wanted to find a place to have a good chat with Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Brother Chi, let's go to Mingjing Teahouse."

Hearing the name Mingjing Teahouse, Chi Yongjun's expression was obviously still somewhat unnatural. However, he looked around and felt relieved; it turned out they had already walked to a place not far from Mingjing Teahouse, only a few minutes' walk away.
