Chapter 343

To achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to promise high rewards, saying that as long as Su Xinghui was not elected, every representative would receive a generous gift.

Among these people was the name Peng Kehong. When Chen Hongfu heard this name, his brows twitched. He was truly angry at this person. Was this person too ignorant? He dared to get involved in such things? And he used such clumsy means. He really didn't know how to write the word "death."

Of course, Chen Hongfu did not alert the enemy. He urged these village cadres who reported the situation to him not to spread it further and to stand firm when voting.

The village cadres of each village patted their chests and guaranteed to Chen Hongfu that the votes of the People's Congress representatives in their villages would definitely not be cast randomly. They angrily scolded, "Township Head Su is such a good cadre, who is playing tricks behind his back? If even he can't be elected, is there any justice left?"

After this round of visits, Chen Hongfu felt more at ease. He still had great confidence in Su Xinghui's popular support.

For the past two days, Su Xinghui had been a bit more leisurely because, with the election approaching, it was not good for him to run to the villages too much. Just as Wu Jun notified him to go to the county to take the driver's license theory test, he asked for leave and returned to the county town to take the exam.

Incidentally, he also told Luo Ping to send a student with him to his grandfather's house to guide his two uncles in planting lotus roots. Taking advantage of these few days, he handled these two private matters.

He passed his driver's license theory test very smoothly. Next, as long as he passed the practical test, he could get his driver's license.

Returning to the county town this time, Su Xinghui happened to run into Liu Changlin on the street again. He learned that Liu Changlin had been transferred from the Statistics Bureau to the Finance Bureau and served as the section chief of the Budget Section. Learning this news, Su Xinghui was also very happy for Liu Changlin.

Previously, Liu Changlin was in the Statistics Bureau, a unit with no real power, and was not valued, holding no position. Now he had finally made it. He was transferred to the Finance Bureau, a unit that was very hot throughout the county, and was the section chief of the most important section in the Finance Bureau—the Budget Section, which meant his future had also become clear.

Liu Changlin expressed his gratitude to Su Xinghui. He knew that his family had no background. That he could be transferred to the Finance Bureau to serve as this section chief was 100% related to that time he testified for Su Xinghui. It was precisely that time he testified for Su Xinghui that he entered Zhang Kaishan's sight and gave him this opportunity.

Su Xinghui did not claim any credit at all. He encouraged Liu Changlin to work hard and bring his talents into play.

It was also during these few days that the "Hudong Daily" published a report on Lu Zhenghong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, inspecting Meng Hu Ling.

The reason this report was delayed for a few days was that it was a long report, not the usual kind of brief news. In this report, the reporter focused on the achievements made by Meng Hu Ling Township after becoming an agricultural reform pilot unit.

This report had solid data, was true and credible, and highly praised the hard work of the cadres of the Meng Hu Ling Township government, mentioning Su Xinghui's name many times.

This report also basically published some of Lu Zhenghong's remarks during this inspection, especially the remarks calling on the rural areas of the whole province to learn from Meng Hu Ling Township, which were published without missing a word.

Everyone knew who was behind Lu Zhenghong. Lu Zhenghong's words represented the meaning of that person. That person had also been in Hudong Province for a year and had not made any big moves. It seemed that he also wanted to make his own voice heard.

Su Xinghui was so highly praised by the Provincial Party Committee's party newspaper, which put even more pressure on the Shangjun County Party Committee. Su Xinghui was clearly a key object of cultivation by some leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. If he wasn't elected this time, it would be a serious political accident for the Shangjun County Party Committee, and their future would likely be very bleak.

This report was naturally also seen by Su Xinghui's classmates. Min Tong took this newspaper and showed it to Min Zhiqiang again. After reading this report, Min Zhiqiang was amazed. He knew what it meant for Su Xinghui to be reported by the Provincial Party Committee's party newspaper twice in a short period of time.

This young man truly had an unlimited future! After reading the report in this newspaper, Min Zhiqiang became even more attentive to helping Meng Hu Ling find investors.

On the night Su Xinghui returned from the county town after taking the theory test, Xue Qin came to see him. She came to ask Su Xinghui questions. After Su Xinghui explained a few questions to her, Xue Qin said, "Our Director Wang has entrusted me to invite you to dinner again."

Wang Yuze had already invited Su Xinghui to dinner several times, but Su Xinghui had declined several times. For one thing, he was indeed very busy with work, and for another, he didn't want to accept invitations during this sensitive period. Now Wang Yuze could be said to be his subordinate, and it was not very good for him to accept invitations publicly.

However, since Wang Yuze asked Xue Qin to invite him, he couldn't refuse to give this face. He thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll go. But don't eat at a restaurant. How about this, I'll go to Director Wang's house for dinner tomorrow afternoon."

Xue Qin also knew that Wang Yuze had failed to invite Su Xinghui several times. This time, she also found it hard to refuse Wang Yuze's kindness, so she agreed to help him ask Su Xinghui. She didn't expect Su Xinghui to agree, which made her very happy. She knew that Su Xinghui agreed because of her face.

Xue Qin looked at Su Xinghui, wanting to say something but stopping. Su Xinghui looked at her and smiled, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xue Qin said, "Is there any problem with this election?"

Su Xinghui said, "Where did you hear that?"

Xue Qin said, "I accidentally heard people discussing that someone is making connections behind this election. They said that your position as Deputy Township Head may not be stable."

Su Xinghui knew that Xue Qin was also worried. In addition, Su Xinghui was indeed too young, and his qualifications seemed a bit insufficient. In the eyes of some people, he might not be able to hold the stage, so it was normal to feel that his position as Deputy Township Head was not stable.

As for how this talk spread, it was not strange. In officialdom, waves could be stirred up even without wind, let alone now that there was indeed wind.

In his past life, Su Xinghui often heard rumors about elections during the change of terms. Of course, he was an outsider then. Now that he had become a party involved, listening to rumors related to himself was a different experience.

He could now understand why candidates were always trembling every time there was an election change. This was indeed a matter that tested psychological quality.

Su Xinghui smiled, "Xue Qin, you don't have to worry. Rumors like this are flying all over the sky every election, but how many times have things gone wrong?"

Although Su Xinghui said it very easily, Xue Qin was still worried and said, "You still have to be careful!"

Su Xinghui nodded with a smile, "I know, thank you for your concern!" ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
