Chapter 3365

For Su Wenjun, life now was simply like being in heaven. His son was successful, his grandson was cute, and the whole family was harmonious and happy, enjoying the joy of family life. This was the life he had dreamed of, and as a result, his health was getting better and better.

After all, the health of the elderly has a lot to do with whether their mood is happy.

Su Xinghui looked at the heartfelt smile on his father's face and couldn't help but think of his past life. In his past life, his father hadn't been this happy. Because Su Xinghui's marriage was unhappy, Su Wenjun had always worried himself sick over him, and he passed away from illness before he even turned seventy.

Su Xinghui certainly knew that his father's illness was caused by long-term unhappiness and repressed emotions. In this life, he had been given a chance to be reborn, and he certainly wouldn't let such a thing happen to his father again. He believed that in this life, his father would definitely be healthy and live a long life.

The family soaked here for over an hour, and it was time for lunch. They came out of the pool, returned to their rooms to shower, and then went to the restaurant. Shu Cailiang was waiting at the entrance, and seeing them arrive, he enthusiastically led them to a small dining room for lunch.

Su Xinghui accepted Shu Cailiang's kindness, though, of course, he would still pay after the meal.

At the entrance of the small dining room, Su Xinghui suddenly heard someone call "Mayor Su." He turned his head and saw it was Yu Shuyao, who was with a man and a three- or four-year-old boy. She looked at him with both surprise and joy.

Su Xinghui stopped and asked: "Yu Shuyao, is this your family?"

Yu Shuyao and the man walked over, holding the child's hand. She said: "Mayor Su, this is my husband, Zhang Feng. He brought our son to see me for the weekend, and we came to the ski resort together."

Su Xinghui extended his right hand to Zhang Feng and said: "Hello, Zhang Feng! Very happy to meet you. Welcome to Baozhou!"

Zhang Feng was a tall man, looking refined and wearing glasses. He also extended his right hand to Su Xinghui. The two shook hands, and he smiled at Su Xinghui: "Mayor Su, I've long heard of your name. Very happy to meet you!"

Su Xinghui said: "We are about to eat. Are you eating too? Why don't we join together?"

Su Xinghui had heard that Yu Shuyao's husband was also a doctoral student. He had always wanted to meet him but never had the chance. Now that they had finally met, he really wanted to chat with him more. If possible, he even wanted to "poach" Zhang Feng to work in Baozhou.

Baozhou's development speed was too fast, and it was already falling behind in terms of talent, so it needed a large number of professionals. Their high-degree talent introduction policy had already brought in dozens of highly educated people, but this was far from enough. Su Xinghui hoped to introduce more.

Introducing Zhang Feng, besides adding another talent, would also stabilize Yu Shuyao. Otherwise, with them living apart for a long time and the child not by her side, Su Xinghui always worried that one day she would want to transfer back.

Yu Shuyao's work ability was quite good, and she worked excellently in the Tourism Bureau. Su Xinghui didn't want her to transfer away.

Hearing Su Xinghui's invitation, Yu Shuyao nodded and said: "That's great. Let us treat you today."

Su Xinghui laughed: "Don't fight me on this."

Zhang Feng had no objections either, so the group entered the small dining room and took their seats in a private room.

Lu Xiaoya also knew Yu Shuyao, so they sat together. Su Xinghui sat with Zhang Feng, while Niu Niu started playing with Zhang Feng and Yu Shuyao's four-year-old son. Su Wenjun and his wife sat in the seats of honor, smiling as they watched the two children playing energetically.

Su Xinghui asked: "Comrade Zhang Feng, I heard you work in the Provincial Finance Department, right? Which division?"

Zhang Feng said: "Mayor Su, I work in the office of the Finance Department."

Su Xinghui asked: "What is your position?"

Zhang Feng said: "Chief Staff Member, Deputy Section Chief of the Second Comprehensive Section."

The rank of Chief Staff Member is at the section level, but his position was only a deputy section chief. For a doctoral student like Zhang Feng, this wasn't considered a position of great importance. Upon hearing this, Su Xinghui felt he had more confidence in tempting Zhang Feng.

With Zhang Feng's degree, he could be given a substantive deputy-division-level position as soon as he arrived in Baozhou, which was very tempting for someone who wanted to achieve something in their official career.

Su Xinghui smiled: "Comrade Zhang Feng, do you come to Baozhou often?"

Zhang Feng said: "Mayor Su, I come about twice a month."

Su Xinghui asked: "Then what is your impression of Baozhou?"

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I like the city of Baozhou very much. Just as Shuyao said, Baozhou is a very vibrant city. Its current construction is much better than Yanzhong City."

Su Xinghui said: "Comrade Zhang Feng, do you have any thoughts about coming to work in Baozhou?"

Zhang Feng just smiled slightly. Obviously, Yu Shuyao must have mentioned this topic to him often. He said frankly: "Mayor Su, to tell you the truth, Shuyao often lobbies me to come to Baozhou to work. If I said I had no thoughts about it, that would certainly be a lie. However, I also have some practical problems."

Su Xinghui said: "If you have any problems, just say them. If I can help you solve them, I definitely will."

Zhang Feng said: "There's nothing else, it's just that my parents don't want me to come to Baozhou to work."

Zhang Feng didn't say more, but Su Xinghui certainly knew what he meant. Parents naturally hope their children will be successful. Now that Zhang Feng was considered successful, working in a provincial capital like Yanzhong City, in the eyes of the elderly, a provincial capital is naturally better than a city like Baozhou. Not to mention that Zhang Feng worked in a good unit like the Finance Department.

If Zhang Feng transferred from the Provincial Finance Department to Baozhou, the elderly would naturally feel it wasn't as good as staying in the provincial department. This kind of thinking should be considered perfectly normal, so Su Xinghui wasn't surprised.

Hearing Su Xinghui lobbying her husband to come to Baozhou to work, Yu Shuyao also looked at Zhang Feng with great anticipation. In fact, besides Zhang Feng's parents disagreeing with him coming to Baozhou, Zhang Feng's own personality was also a reason.

Zhang Feng was a person who preferred comfort. Working in the Provincial Finance Department, he didn't have much pressure and lived quite comfortably every day. He was used to such days, and he didn't know what it would be like to work in Baozhou in the future, so he didn't really want to change.

If Su Xinghui could persuade him, that would be best. Yu Shuyao naturally still hoped that the family could be reunited.

Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and said: "Then have you tried persuading your parents?"

Zhang Feng nodded: "I have said it, I said Baozhou is definitely no worse than Yanzhong, but they just won't believe it, and I have no way to change that."

Su Xinghui said: "You can bring your parents to Baozhou for a visit. I believe that once they come to Baozhou, they will definitely change their minds."

Zhang Feng said: "Hmm, if I have the chance, I will bring them to Baozhou."

Su Xinghui saw his perfunctory attitude, and he could roughly tell that Zhang Feng's personality was the type that sought comfort—truly two extremes compared to Yu Shuyao. Su Xinghui didn't want to force it, as they were currently eating.

Just then, the waiter brought the food and drinks, so Su Xinghui drank a few glasses of wine with Zhang Feng. With this, the two were considered quite familiar, and once familiar, some things were easier to talk about.
