Chapter 361: A deposit slip
After everyone was full of food and wine, Chen Hongfu said: "Little Su, you are responsible for arranging the accommodation for Boss Mai and Boss Min."
Su Xinghui nodded and smiled: "Secretary Chen, please rest assured."
Su Xinghui led the two to the Lu Family Inn, asked for two single rooms, and let them stay.
Although Min Zhiqiang had a good capacity for liquor, he had been drinking with several people, so he was now 70-80% drunk. Therefore, he went to sleep as soon as he entered the room.
Su Xinghui was just about to greet Mai Yonglun and return to the township government when Mai Yonglun said to him: "Township Head Su, come to my room and sit for a while."
Su Xinghui didn't know what Mai Yonglun had to do, but since he asked him to sit for a while, of course, he couldn't refuse. He followed Mai Yonglun to his room and smiled: "Boss Mai, is there anything you want to see me about?"
Mai Yonglun also sat down, took a piece of paper from his body, and handed it to Su Xinghui.
Su Xinghui took the folded paper with some confusion, opened it, and took a look. It turned out to be a deposit slip. The amount on it was 100,000 yuan, and the name was actually his, Su Xinghui's name.
Su Xinghui's face became serious: "Boss Mai, what does this mean?"
Mai Yonglun smiled and said: "It doesn't mean anything, just a small token. I want to make a friend of Township Head Su! I think Township Head Su is a friend worth making."
Su Xinghui shook his head gently and said: "If Boss Mai does this, I'm afraid we won't be able to be friends."
Saying that, he put the deposit slip on the table and pushed it toward Mai Yonglun.
Mai Yonglun's smile stiffened, but then he smiled and pushed the deposit slip toward Su Xinghui again: "Township Head Su, don't worry. This deposit slip has your name on it, and it was deposited in Jiangcheng. It has the name of the business office on it. You can take it out at any time. No one will know that I gave it to you. I don't mean anything else, just want to make a friend with you!"
Su Xinghui really wanted to just walk away, but he knew he couldn't. Mai Yonglun was an investor who came here to invest. If he just walked away, maybe this investment would be ruined, so he had to make things clear with Mai Yonglun.
He also knew why Mai Yonglun would give him money. Mai Yonglun was from Yuedong Province, where people had flexible minds, especially with very good talent in business. However, they were used to using money to pave the way for everything. Sometimes, if they didn't send money, they didn't feel at ease in their hearts.
As a Yuedong businessman coming to Hudong Province, where he was unfamiliar with the place, to invest, he would be somewhat uncertain in his heart. Of course, he wanted to make friends with local officials in the place of investment. As for why he chose him, that was also very normal; he saw that he had a future. Besides building the factory, these 100,000 yuan could also be considered his investment in him.
Su Xinghui thought for a moment, then smiled at Mai Yonglun and said: "Mr. Mai, I appreciate your kindness. I understand what you mean. You invest and build a factory here, hoping that we local officials can take care of you. But I tell you, even if you don't do these things, I will still serve you investors wholeheartedly. But if you insist on doing this, then we really won't be able to be friends."
Mai Yonglun was stunned: "But in many places, this is a kind of unspoken rule. Take money to do things, it's only right and proper! You should just accept it. I guarantee you, I will absolutely not tell anyone about this matter."
Su Xinghui said: "Mr. Mai, you also said it yourself, this is just an unspoken rule. Since it's an unspoken rule, it's a rule that can't be brought to the table, a rule that can't see the light. And have you thought about it? If I accept this deposit slip, what kind of person will I be? Do you really like dealing with such cadres?"
Mai Yonglun showed a thoughtful expression.
Su Xinghui laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Mai. Although I won't accept this deposit slip, my service to you will absolutely not be discounted. In the future, your factory can be absolutely assured in Meng Hu Ling. If you have any trouble, you can come to me."
Mai Yonglun asked: "Township Head Su, don't you like money?"
Su Xinghui shook his head and said: "Of course I like money, but I won't use this way to make money for myself. And what's the use of me having so much money? As long as it's enough to use, it's fine. If I accept your deposit slip, I will never be able to be at ease for the rest of my life, even if I sleep on a bed in a money shop, I won't be able to sleep. Boss Mai, do you hope that I won't be able to be at ease for the rest of my life?"
Mai Yonglun said: "But what are you aiming for by doing all this?"
Su Xinghui smiled: "What am I aiming for? I'm aiming for being an official for a term and benefiting one side. Mr. Mai, you might not have seen the scene of our township election this time. At that time, I was elected with all votes. Why did everyone vote for me? Because they felt that if I were this Deputy Township Head, I could lead them to get rid of poverty and become rich. Can I let them down?"
Speaking of this, Su Xinghui's eyes became deep: "Mr. Mai, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I'm aiming for the common people to be able to respectfully call me Township Head Su when they see me in the future, instead of poking my spine and pointing at me and scolding me as a corrupt official!"
