Chapter 3586

Ding Qingyong nodded and said: "Alright, Mayor, then I will head back."

Returning to the office, Su Xinghui closed the door, picked up the phone on the desk, and called home. The person who answered was Niuniu. As soon as Niuniu heard Su Xinghui's voice, he shouted loudly: "Dad!"

Hearing Niuniu's voice, a smile appeared on Su Xinghui's face involuntarily. He said: "Niuniu, what did you do at home today?"

Niuniu said: "I practiced martial arts, went to Grandpa Yang's house to study, did my summer homework, drew pictures, practiced calligraphy, and read books."

Su Xinghui suddenly felt a bit of heartache for his son. He had just turned nine, yet he had to do so many things every day. He said: "Niuniu, are you tired? If you're tired, take a rest."

Niuniu said: "Dad, I'm not tired. When I grow up, I want to become someone like you."

After the father and son spoke a few words, Niuniu said: "Dad, Mom wants to talk to you."

Lu Xiaoya's voice came through the receiver: "Xinghui, have you eaten?"

Su Xinghui said: "I've eaten. I ate with Minister Shu, and after eating, we took a walk outside for a while. I've just returned now."

The couple didn't say too much, just some ordinary pleasantries. However, every time Su Xinghui heard Lu Xiaoya's voice, he felt incomparably at ease, as if he feared nothing. Even alone in this Linshan City with an uncertain future, he was filled with courage and strength.

Lu Xiaoya spoke to him for a while, then handed the phone to Guo Suhua. Guo Suhua asked how things were in Linshan and if he was getting used to it. Su Xinghui said everything was fine. After Guo Suhua spoke for a while, she shouted: "Old Su, are you going to talk to your son?"

A few seconds later, Guo Suhua said: "Xinghui, your dad says he won't talk to you. He tells you to take good care of yourself in Linshan and not to worry about things at home."

The corners of Su Xinghui's mouth lifted slightly again. He didn't need to look to know that Su Wenjun was definitely sitting on the sofa holding a newspaper; although his eyes were on the paper, his entire attention was on the phone.

But when Guo Suhua actually let him take the phone, he wouldn't take it. This was because a father's love for his son is always deep and unwilling to be superficial.

Su Xinghui said: "Mom, I will take good care of myself, don't you worry!"

Hanging up the phone, Su Xinghui felt his whole body filled with strength again. He then dialed a few more numbers; some were to Yu Ruizhi and the others, some were to leaders in the province, and one of the calls was to a local person.

After finishing the calls, Su Xinghui leaned back against the wide, soft chair and began to look at documents. After a few minutes, someone suddenly knocked on his door. Su Xinghui got up to open it and saw a man in his forties standing outside; although he wasn't very tall, he had a sharp and capable look on his face.

Su Xinghui asked: "Wen Guoning?"

The man nodded and said: "Yes, I am Wen Guoning. You are Mayor Su, right?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "I am Su Xinghui, please come in."

Although Wen Guoning was strong and sharp, he appeared somewhat shy in front of Su Xinghui. He followed Su Xinghui into the office. Su Xinghui closed the door, let him sit down, and then poured him tea.

Wen Guoning sprang up as if his tail had been stepped on and said: "Mayor, I don't dare, I'll pour the water myself."

Su Xinghui didn't insist, letting Wen Guoning pour his own water. He sat down behind his desk, and after Wen Guoning sat down again, he asked: "Are you a classmate of Ren Weidong?"

Wen Guoning said: "Yes, we were classmates in the 1985 class of the Yanbei Provincial Police Academy."

Su Xinghui said: "Then what position do you hold now?"

Wen Guoning said: "I am currently the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Linshan Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Su Xinghui nodded slightly. It seemed that this classmate of Ren Weidong wasn't doing too well. He was already around forty years old this year, yet he was still just a deputy captain of a criminal investigation detachment. In terms of rank, he was only at the section chief level and might not have much power. That he could hold this position was perhaps due to his ability.

According to Ren Weidong, this classmate of his was quite capable in criminal investigation, had broken several major cases, and was a backbone of the Linshan Public Security Bureau. However, because he had no background, he had never been given important responsibilities. He said that his relationship with Wen Guoning in school was very good, and they had kept in touch a lot after graduation and starting work, so in Linshan City, Wen Guoning was someone who could be trusted.

Thus, Su Xinghui called Wen Guoning today. Wen Guoning had also received a call from Ren Weidong in advance, so as soon as he received Su Xinghui's call, he rushed to the municipal government office building overnight to see Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui said: "Then do you know what position Ren Weidong holds now?"

Wen Guoning was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "I know, he is currently the Executive Deputy Director of the Baozhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Wen Guoning certainly knew that a few years ago, Ren Weidong's situation was similar to his—neither was given important responsibilities. But in just these few years, Ren Weidong had risen straight up like he was riding a rocket and was now several levels higher than him. And why was this? Of course, it was all because of this Mayor Su Xinghui in front of him.

The reason Wen Guoning rushed to the municipal government office building as soon as he received the call today was, of course, that he held such hope: if Su Xinghui could make Ren Weidong rise so fast, he could naturally make him rise just as fast. Therefore, he had already made up his mind: he would follow Su Xinghui, and this opportunity given to him by heaven this time, he could not miss it again.
