Chapter 3572
In August, Niuniu welcomed his ninth birthday. In Shangjun County and Hudong Province, it is generally the custom to celebrate a child's tenth birthday when they turn nine, and a tenth birthday is a very important birthday for a child, which must be celebrated in a big way.
However, given Su Xinghui's current status, he naturally could not throw a big celebration for his child's tenth birthday. Therefore, on the day of Niuniu's birthday, the family returned to Jingcheng, where they held a family banquet to celebrate Niuniu's tenth birthday.
Although it was just a family banquet and Su Xinghui did not send out many invitations, there were still quite a few relatives and friends who came to participate in Niuniu's tenth birthday banquet on their own initiative.
Relatives from the Su and Lu families, as well as their classmates, and people like Yu Ruizhi, Yu Ruoqiu, Chu Zheng, and Han Xiang Dong, plus friends from the Hou family, the Mi family, and the Xie family, each sent several people to participate in Niuniu's tenth birthday banquet.
Adding these people up, there were nearly a hundred people. Fortunately, the Su family's Sihe Academy in Jingcheng was large enough to seat so many people.
In order to keep a low profile, Su Xinghui did not hold this birthday banquet in a hotel, but Hou Wenhai sent the chef team from his Hou's Hotel in Jingcheng to the Su family to prepare the banquet for this birthday party. The ingredients Su Xinghui bought were also the freshest and best, so the quality of this birthday banquet was in no way inferior to a feast at a five-star hotel.
On this day, the Su Xinghui family was all smiles. After working hard for these years, they finally raised Niuniu into an excellent child.
Niuniu was also particularly presentable. When the birthday banquet began, he stood very generously in front of all the guests and delivered his tenth birthday speech. He spoke with particular organization, which drew unanimous praise from the guests, who all said that Niuniu would definitely be very promising in the future.
Su Xinghui was drinking with Yu Ruizhi and the others when suddenly his mobile phone rang. He looked at the caller ID on the phone, walked to the side, and answered the phone. The number on the phone was the office phone of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Wu Jianbai.
Today is Saturday, and this time is lunchtime. Wu Jianbai calling him at this time must mean something major has happened. He estimated that it shouldn't be about Niuniu's birthday banquet, because Su Xinghui did not notify any leaders or colleagues that he was holding a birthday banquet for Niuniu today.
After answering the phone, Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Wu, are you looking for me?"
Wu Jianbai said, "Comrade Xinghui, where are you now?"
Su Xinghui said, "I am in Jingcheng."
Wu Jianbai said, "Can you rush to Yanzhong today?"
Although Wu Jianbai's words were in a questioning tone, Su Xinghui naturally knew that he could not say no at such a time. Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I will rush to Yanzhong after I finish eating."
Wu Jianbai said, "Good, then I will wait for you in my office."
Wu Jianbai hung up the phone cleanly. Su Xinghui was stunned for a while and returned to his table. Yu Ruizhi asked, "What's wrong? Xinghui, whose call was it?"
Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Wu's call. He asked me to rush to Yanzhong to see him this afternoon."
Yu Ruizhi was also a bit confused. Today is Saturday, why does Wu Jianbai want to see Su Xinghui at this time? And he also asked him to rush to Yanzhong this afternoon. It's so urgent, what happened?
Although today is Niuniu's tenth birthday banquet, Yu Ruizhi knew that since the Provincial Party Committee Secretary summoned him, Su Xinghui absolutely could not say he wouldn't go. Within the system, one must abide by the rules of the system, and since Wu Jianbai summoned him at this time, there must be something major.
Yu Ruizhi said, "You go ahead, I will help you take care of things here."
Several other friends also said they would help Su Xinghui take care of things here. Su Xinghui nodded to express his gratitude and hurriedly started eating.
After eating, Su Xinghui told his parents and Lu Xiaoya about the Provincial Party Committee Secretary's summons. For them, they naturally wouldn't stop Su Xinghui, because they also knew that when the Provincial Party Committee Secretary called at this time, there must be something major.
And the guests today were all relatives and friends of the Su family, so no one would mind Su Xinghui leaving temporarily, not to mention that Su Xinghui had urgent business to leave.
Because Su Xinghui had been drinking, Yu Ruizhi sent He Weidong to drive Su Xinghui to Baozhou, and after arriving in Baozhou, Zhai Yingjie would send Su Xinghui to Yanzhong.
He Weidong quickly sent Su Xinghui to Baozhou City. Zhai Yingjie had already received the call Su Xinghui made on the road and was waiting at the Baozhou intersection to pick up Su Xinghui.
After Su Xinghui said goodbye to He Weidong, Zhai Yingjie started the car and drove towards Yanzhong City.
Su Xinghui said, "Yingjie, thank you for your hard work. You were supposed to be resting today."
Zhai Yingjie said, "It's nothing, Mayor Su. Following you, I have already enjoyed enough blessings. Which other leader's driver is as leisurely as I am?"
Zhai Yingjie was right. Other leaders' drivers were all working like cattle and horses for the leaders. How could they be as leisurely as him? Su Xinghui usually had nothing else to do after work, so Zhai Yingjie could go home. And on rest days, even if Su Xinghui wanted to go out, he would drive himself. Zhai Yingjie was really very leisurely.
