Chapter 3622

Sun Zhenhua letting Cao Yuanhao come here to serve as Executive Vice Mayor was also to make his resume look better and more comprehensive, which would be of great benefit to his future career development. If he wanted to serve as a first-level Standing Committee member or a government head, such experience was absolutely necessary.

Linshan was, of course, a very good choice because Linshan had Su Xinghui as Mayor, so the pace of development here would definitely be very fast. Although Sun Zhenhua didn't like Su Xinghui, he had nothing to say about Su Xinghui's ability. Cao Yuanhao coming here to be Su Xinghui's deputy was equivalent to catching Su Xinghui's express train.

Every time he thought of this, Su Xinghui couldn't help but smile bitterly. Over the years, there had been quite a few people who wanted to catch his express train. It seemed that his ability to produce political achievements was quite trusted by everyone. It's just that some people succeeded in catching the train, while others failed. He wondered if Cao Yuanhao would succeed this time.

If Cao Yuanhao were low-key and lived in peace with him, Su Xinghui wouldn't mind him catching his express train. But if Cao Yuanhao were restless and insisted on showing his presence and working against Su Xinghui, then Su Xinghui wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Cao Yuanhao seemed to be quite sensible. As soon as he arrived, he took the initiative to visit Su Xinghui in his office.

Su Xinghui, of course, treated Cao Yuanhao with courtesy. After all, he had come to visit him, he was polite, and he was his deputy. The two would be partners in the municipal government from now on, and they would be spending a very long time together.

Ding Qingyong helped Cao Yuanhao pour a cup of tea and then went out. Su Xinghui and Cao Yuanhao sat opposite each other on the guest sofa. He asked, "Comrade Yuanhao, are you getting used to Linshan?"

Su Xinghui was five or six years younger than Cao Yuanhao, but he called him "Comrade Yuanhao" without hesitation, which made Cao Yuanhao feel very uncomfortable. However, he had no other choice; although Su Xinghui was young, he was indeed his leader, and calling him "Comrade Yuanhao" was perfectly fine.

In fact, when Cao Yuanhao was at the Department of Culture, he was also considered a young leader, and he also had to call those much older than him "Comrade XX," and they still had to answer with a smile. So, Cao Yuanhao had nothing to say and could only endure his inner unhappiness while talking to Su Xinghui.

Cao Yuanhao smiled and said, "Mayor, I think I'm adapting quite well. Thank you for your concern, Mayor."

Su Xinghui said, "I heard you're from Tangchuan, right?"

Cao Yuanhao nodded and said, "Yes, I'm from Hucheng County, Tangchuan City, not far from Linshan."

Hucheng County, Tangchuan City, was north of Tangchuan and bordered Linshan. This was Cao Yuanhao's hometown and also the place where Sun Zhenhua had served as County Party Secretary. Cao Yuanhao had originally served as Sun Zhenhua's secretary there.

Su Xinghui said, "That's great. The national highway from Linshan to Tangchuan will be reconstructed soon. It will be very convenient for you to go back to your hometown in the future."

Cao Yuanhao smiled and said, "You really have a grand style, Mayor. As soon as you arrived in Linshan, you had this national highway rebuilt. I heard you also want to build an expressway and a high-speed railway, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If you don't build the roads well, how can you talk about economic development?"

Cao Yuanhao said, "You are indeed an expert at economic development, Mayor. I still have much to learn from you. I have no experience in economic development, so you must not hold back, Mayor."

Su Xinghui laughed and said, "How could I? But you are too humble, Comrade Yuanhao. We can only say we are learning from each other."

Cao Yuanhao said seriously, "I'm not being humble. I have indeed always worked in party and mass affairs and cultural propaganda, and I have never worked in economic areas, so you must not hesitate to teach me, Mayor."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, if you have anything to ask, Comrade Yuanhao, just ask me. As long as I know, I will definitely not hold back."

Cao Yuanhao nodded with a smile and said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor, for the expressway and high-speed railway projects, we still need to run to the province and Jingcheng to get the projects, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, of course we need to run for these two projects."

Cao Yuanhao said, "Mayor, these two projects always need someone to run them. How about you let me run these two projects?"

Su Xinghui couldn't help but ponder. It was not impossible to let Cao Yuanhao run these two projects, because he himself had been busy as hell these days, and Xing Guodong was also busy as hell. They really didn't have the time to run these two projects.

And if these two projects were to be run, there had to be someone stationed in the provincial capital and Jingcheng, and these people had to be led by a main municipal leader. In fact, Cao Yuanhao, as Executive Vice Mayor, was the most suitable person.

However, Cao Yuanhao had never done any economic work, had long been engaged in empty talk rather than practical work, and his character was also worrying. Letting him do such an important thing really made Su Xinghui feel uneasy.

You know, these two projects were related to Linshan's development for the next few decades. If they were messed up, it wouldn't be a joke. Linshan couldn't afford such a loss.

In fact, running projects in the provincial capital was easier because Wu Jianbai and Fang Zhonglin had already given their approval for these two projects. As long as someone went to run the procedures, it would be fine. Cao Yuanhao also had enough connections in the provincial capital, so running these two projects would be a very simple matter.

However, Su Xinghui really wasn't very confident about running projects in Jingcheng because Cao Yuanhao had no connections in Jingcheng, and he had never run projects before, so he was completely ignorant of the joints involved. Could he be competent for this job? Su Xinghui was very skeptical.

Seeing Su Xinghui hesitating, Cao Yuanhao said, "Mayor, don't worry. I am very familiar with both the provincial capital and Jingcheng. I will definitely have no problem running these two projects. Besides, since I am now the Executive Vice Mayor of Linshan, I should take responsibility for Linshan's development. So, just leave this task to me."

Su Xinghui thought it was true. Cao Yuanhao, as Executive Vice Mayor, had just arrived in Linshan and hadn't yet entered his role. Letting him do other work might not mean he could immediately get the hang of it. It would be better to let him run the projects. Besides, if he didn't agree, it would look like he, the Mayor, didn't trust him. So, he nodded and said, "Alright, then you go run these two projects."
