Chapter 3577

~9 min read 1,780 words

Su Xinghui went to Linshan City to take office without any psychological preparation. He had never been to Linshan, let alone understood Linshan. Among the city and county leaders in Linshan City, he didn't know a single person. This time going to Linshan, how to carry out the work, he didn't have a mature idea, and time didn't allow for a mature idea. He only had to find ideas in his work.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Let's walk and see."

In the past, no matter where Su Xinghui went to work, he had never felt such great pressure. This time, he really felt great pressure, so this time in front of Shu Fang, he didn't have any bold words and behaved very low-key.

Shu Fang said, "But you don't have to worry too much. The Provincial Party Committee will definitely fully support you. You can just let go and do it."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Thank you, Minister Shu!"

Shu Fang's tone became intimate: "If you have anything, just call me, don't be polite with me."

Su Xinghui said, "I will, Minister Shu."

Shu Fang is willing to have a good relationship with Su Xinghui. Although he is the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Su Xinghui is only an acting mayor who was ordered to go to Linshan City in a time of crisis, the gap in their positions is a bit large, but the age gap between the two is also very large, twenty years apart.

A 35-year-old acting mayor, Shu Fang has done organizational work for so many years and has never seen it before. Su Xinghui is the only one. With such a person, can Shu Fang not be willing to have a good relationship?

The two were chatting in the car, and in the blink of an eye, more than four hours passed, and the car arrived in Linshan City.

Linshan City has not yet opened an expressway. It is nearly 300 kilometers away from Yanzhong City. The car cannot go too fast on the national highway, so it takes so long. The two set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and when they arrived in Linshan, it was almost twelve o'clock.

When the car was about to arrive in Linshan, it began to bump violently. Su Xinghui noticed that the road conditions here were not good, and there were many potholes on the road. This should be caused by coal trucks. Linshan City has many coal mines, so there are many coal trucks.

However, they didn't see a large coal truck today. This should be because a major mine disaster just happened here, and the coal mines here are all suspending business for rectification.

Seeing the situation in Linshan City, Su Xinghui's mood was very heavy. The transportation in Linshan City looked very underdeveloped. There was no expressway, and the road conditions of the national highway were so poor. How to develop the economy? If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Without good roads, the economy cannot be developed.

This is no wonder that Linshan City's GDP ranked third from the bottom in the province, and it couldn't even compare to the GDP of a Mapu industrial park in Baozhou City.

At the intersection entering Linshan City, a group of cadres from Linshan City were waiting here. They had been waiting here for nearly an hour. It is now midsummer, and they were all sweating profusely, but no one dared to complain about bitterness or fatigue. Today, the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department personally sent the acting mayor to take office. Who dared to neglect?

At such an extraordinary time, everyone must tuck their tails and be careful.

Seeing Shu Fang's car coming, these cadres hurriedly greeted him. Shu Fang got out of the car, and Su Xinghui followed behind. Shu Fang exchanged simple greetings with them and asked everyone to get in the car quickly. It is now midsummer and noon. Although the temperature in Linshan is only about 30 degrees, such a temperature is enough to make people suffer.

Everyone entered the urban area together. The car in front went directly to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, and Shu Fang's car followed behind. It was already lunchtime, and they really needed to eat.

The group got out of the car at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House. The local cadres diligently let Shu Fang and Su Xinghui enter a private room and sat down in the private room.

The private room area is very large, at least more than 100 square meters, with two tables of banquets inside, the desktop is huge, and each table is enough to seat 20 people. Today, quite a few people came to welcome Shu Fang and Su Xinghui, as many as about 30 people, so it took two tables to sit down.

The food and wine on the table were relatively rich, but Su Xinghui glanced at it, and there were no particularly eye-catching delicacies, so Su Xinghui was not prepared to perform another play of refusing the banquet. After all, in front of Shu Fang, it was not good for him to show off as soon as he came.

Shu Fang sat down and pulled Su Xinghui to sit beside him. Other local cadres sat at the two tables according to their status. A middle-aged man ordered the waiter to pour wine. Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "It's noon, no drinking."

The Yanbei Provincial Government also has regulations that drinking is not allowed for official receptions at noon. However, there are not many places that can strictly abide by it, let alone a place like Linshan where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so this kind of regulation is a mere formality here. And China has had the saying that there is no banquet without wine since ancient times, so they naturally have to arrange wine and water.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. Shu Fang smiled and said, "Comrade Yuze, don't drink at noon. I'm also tired. Let's eat something and rest. We have to hold a meeting in the afternoon to announce the appointment of Comrade Su Xinghui."

The middle-aged man is Zhong Yuze, the full-time party and mass deputy secretary of the Linshan Municipal Party Committee. He is a middle-aged man in his fifties. After listening to Shu Fang's words, he could only nod and say, "Okay, withdraw the wine and serve the rice."

The waiter withdrew the wine and served several staple foods, including rice, dumplings, pancakes, and noodles, which were very rich and could be taken by anyone.

Su Xinghui ate a large bowl of rice and a large bowl of noodles, then put down his chopsticks. Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Shu Fang also scraped the last mouthful of rice in his bowl and then put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that they all put down their chopsticks, everyone seemed to have pressed the switch at the same time and put down their chopsticks.

Shu Fang said, "You eat, you eat, don't worry about us. I'm old and my appetite is average. You eat more, don't waste it."

This meal was indeed wasted. Because there was no drinking, the big table of food on the table was not moved much. This was because Su Xinghui ate too fast. He only ate a few mouthfuls of food, but ate a large bowl of rice and a large bowl of noodles. And these leaders were basically in their fifties, how could they have such a good appetite? Now it would be good if they could eat half a bowl.

After listening to Shu Fang's words, these leaders hesitated. Zhong Yuze picked up his chopsticks again and said, "Then let's eat some more, don't waste it, we must obey the leader's instructions."

Zhong Yuze took the lead, and everyone picked up their chopsticks again. However, they didn't dare to chew slowly anymore. They ate the remaining rice in their bowls with a few mouthfuls of food, which ended this welcome banquet for Su Xinghui.

Zhong Yuze personally took Shu Fang and Su Xinghui to two rooms on the eighth floor of the guest house to let them rest for a while. At 2:30 in the afternoon, a city-wide middle-level cadre meeting would be held in the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium to announce the appointment of Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui and Shu Fang sat in the car for more than four hours, at least half of the road was not a good road, so the road conditions were very poor, so they had been bumping for a long time, so they really needed to rest well, so they entered their respective rooms and rested.

At two o'clock, Su Xinghui woke up on time to the sound of the alarm clock. He washed his face, sobered up, and left the room. Coincidentally, Shu Fang also came out of his room. They went downstairs together. Zhong Yuze and other city cadres were already waiting in the lobby. Seeing the two go downstairs, they stood up together.

The group went to the Municipal Party Committee compound together and entered the auditorium. The time was exactly 2:30. At this time, the auditorium was full of people, all of whom were cadres at the deputy division level or above in Linshan City. Today they came here to participate in this meeting to announce the appointment of Su Xinghui.

After Shu Fang and others walked into the venue, the participants who were whispering to each other stopped whispering and sat upright one by one. This meeting is different from the ordinary one. It is a meeting for the new mayor to take office, and the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department is sitting on the podium. Who is willing to leave a bad impression in front of them?

Zhong Yuze announced that Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Shu Fang, would announce an important appointment. Warm applause rang out immediately. In such applause, Shu Fang walked to the microphone and said, "... According to work needs, the Provincial Party Committee decided after research to appoint Comrade Su Xinghui as Deputy Secretary of the Linshan Municipal Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the Linshan Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor of Linshan City, and Acting Mayor. Comrade Su Xinghui, 35 years old, from Shangjun County, Hudong Province..."
