Chapter 354: Good news?

After Peng Kehong was dismissed, the dormitory he lived in became vacant. Wan Xing'an took the initiative to propose to the township that he move into Peng Kehong's dormitory.

Peng Kehong originally shared a dormitory with Fu Bo. Now that he had been dismissed, that dormitory would be occupied by Fu Bo alone. This move by Wan Xing'an showed great tact; Su Xinghui was now a Deputy Township Head, so it was only right that his living conditions be a bit better.

Su Xinghui actually felt that Wan Xing'an didn't need to do this, but after Wan Xing'an proposed it to the township, he moved his things into Fu Bo's dormitory himself, clearing out the room for Su Xinghui.

Chen Hongfu also told Su Xinghui that since Wan Xing'an meant well, Su Xinghui should just accept it. He was now a leader in the township, and living in a dormitory by himself was a matter of dignity.

He also said with a smile that if investors came in the future and saw that a Deputy Township Head was still living in a collective dormitory, the Meng Hu Ling Township government would lose too much face.

Hearing Chen Hongfu say this, Su Xinghui accepted Wan Xing'an's good intentions.

However, after Wan Xing'an moved out, Su Xinghui felt that living in a dormitory by himself was indeed much more comfortable and much more at ease. Everyone was an adult and always had some privacy; sharing a dormitory for two was indeed somewhat inconvenient.

That evening, Xue Qin came to Su Xinghui's dormitory. She had come to ask Su Xinghui some questions. As soon as she arrived at his dormitory, she asked in surprise, "You're living alone now?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Yes, a dormitory opened up in our township government, and Wan Xing'an moved in with Fu Bo, so from now on I can live in a dormitory by myself."

Xue Qin said happily, "That's really great!"

She looked at the dormitory, tilted her head, and said, "Boys will be boys, too careless. This dormitory needs to be decorated properly; it will be beautiful once it's decorated."

Su Xinghui said, "You said it yourself, I'm a man. Why would a man's dormitory need to be that beautiful?"

Xue Qin shook her head and said, "That won't do. I'll have to come and ask you questions often in the future, and I can't be uncomfortable looking at this."

Xue Qin started working right away. She found some newspapers, pictorials, and wall calendars in Su Xinghui's room and pasted them around the walls. This covered up the spots and the places where the wall plaster had peeled off, and the room indeed looked much brighter.

Xue Qin and Su Xinghui moved the desk and wardrobe, then helped fold the clothes in the wardrobe and hang up what needed hanging. Then she moved the things on the desk and used thumbtacks to pin several wall calendars from last year onto the desk, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Xue Qin arranged the things on the desk neatly and said, "Look, it will be more convenient for you to draw in the future."

Finally, Xue Qin picked up a broom to sweep up the mess made in the room, looked at the whole room, and said with satisfaction, "This is much better than before. Tomorrow I'll bring a vase and pick some wildflowers to put in it; the room will be even more beautiful."

Su Xinghui looked at the room; it was indeed much better than before. He had to admit that girls were naturally better at tidying up rooms than boys. He was already considered a relatively tidy man, but that was limited to being tidy; he couldn't compare when it came to decorating a room.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Hmm, when it comes to this, you girls are indeed better."

Xue Qin smiled until her eyes curved. Su Xinghui fetched water for her to wash her hands, and then began to explain those questions to her.

On the afternoon of March 9th, the Meng Hu Ling Township government received a call from the County government, saying that the County government would hold a county-wide economic work conference the next day and asked the relevant leaders in charge from Meng Hu Ling Township to attend on time.

The relevant leader in charge from Meng Hu Ling Township was, of course, Su Xinghui. Therefore, Dong Jianshu arranged for Su Xinghui to return to the county seat for the meeting and even let him go back that afternoon. This was also a form of consideration for him; he hadn't been home for a long time and could stay at home for one night.

Chen Hongfu arranged for Yao Xuexin to drive Su Xinghui back to the county seat. By the time they returned, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Su Xinghui went straight to the County government and went to Zhang Kaishan's office.

Because there was an economic work conference the next day, Zhang Kaishan was in his office preparing his speech materials that afternoon and hadn't gone out. Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, he put down his pen very happily and said, "Xinghui is here. Sit down quickly."

Su Xinghui sat down and said, "Uncle Zhang, are you preparing materials? Why didn't you let your secretary prepare them?"

Zhang Kaishan shook his head and said, "The secretaries in the Comprehensive Section are okay with their writing, but they aren't familiar with economic work, or I could say they are completely clueless. If I let them write it, I'd have to spend half a day revising it; it's not handy to use. It's better to write it myself."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, but what Zhang Kaishan said was the truth. In this day and age, the secretaries in the Comprehensive Section basically hadn't studied economics or worked in economic fields. They could write official jargon, but they were far from being able to write such highly professional materials.

However, wasn't he like that too when he first started working in his past life? He had studied Chinese and also didn't understand economic work. If it weren't for his rebirth, he wouldn't have had so much insight.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "There's nothing to be done about that. When have the County government secretaries ever worked in economics?"

Zhang Kaishan said, "It would be great if we could hold an economic study class at the County Party School and let the young cadres in the county come and learn."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That's a good idea. If you really want to hold it, I'll go to Jiangcheng and help find professors in this field to come and give lectures."

Zhang Kaishan nodded and said, "That would be great. The teachers at the County Party School really can't teach this."

Su Xinghui picked up the thermos himself, first refilled Zhang Kaishan's cup, then poured himself a cup of water, took a sip, and said, "I haven't had any water on the way back, so I'm a bit thirsty."

Zhang Kaishan nodded with a smile and asked, "You know about Tao Yan's situation, right?"
