Chapter 3668: Sharing the credit

Xing Guodong said, "Mayor, that is truly great. Is there any special work that needs to be done to welcome Mr. Nelson?"

Su Xinghui said, "That's not necessary. Just prepare according to the usual reception work. Mr. Nelson is quite accustomed to Chinese food."

Xing Guodong said, "That's good, but Mayor, I still feel very uneasy in my heart."

Su Xinghui laughed, "You are also someone who has seen the world; what is there to be uneasy about?"

Xing Guodong said, "Such a large project, I have never seen one before."

Su Xinghui said, "How have you not seen one? The investment introduced in Linshan this year has already exceeded thirty billion; are these projects not large projects?"

Xing Guodong laughed and said, "This is always a bit different."

Su Xinghui said, "You don't need to be uneasy. The conditions in Linshan are good. As long as we perform normally, Mr. Nelson should agree to this project. What you need to pay more attention to now is to start preparing for these two projects from now on, such as land acquisition work, which should be done earlier."

This was also Su Xinghui's consistent style. Even before the project approval was confirmed, he often did a lot of work in advance, such as land acquisition, which he usually did early because these tasks were too time-consuming. If one waited until the project was successfully approved to start, it would delay things too much.

Of course, if one were to be pedantic, doing this was somewhat against the rules, but in all places where development speed is fast, things always test the edge of the rules. If one were to completely follow the rules, things would be too slow.

Such places often require the main leaders to have a sense of responsibility and dare to take risks. Su Xinghui was certainly a person with a great sense of responsibility, and his vision was long-term enough. Therefore, he always completed the preparatory work in advance, so that once the project was successfully approved, construction could start immediately, which could save a lot of construction time.

Xing Guodong had now also adapted to Su Xinghui's style, and his work efficiency was also very high. He nodded and said, "I understand, Mayor. I will have people start some preparatory work as soon as possible."

Xing Guodong left full of fighting spirit. In the few years he had followed Su Xinghui, he had done more things than he had done in the decades he spent in the government office before. Especially with these large projects, where could he have come into contact with them while in the government office? Therefore, under Su Xinghui, he felt incredibly fulfilled.

Su Xinghui called Zhong Yuze again. Before long, Zhong Yuze came over. Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Yuze, you've worked hard this time!"

Zhong Yuze hurriedly said, "Mayor, you overstate it. It's only been two days; what hardship is there?"

Su Xinghui smiled and nodded, "I have good news to tell you this time."

Zhong Yuze said, "Has the project matter been settled?"

Su Xinghui said, "Although it hasn't been completely settled, there is always a seventy or eighty percent certainty."

Zhong Yuze was also overjoyed. Although the work he was in charge of didn't have much to do with these two projects, if two such large projects were to settle in Linshan City, it would be beneficial for everyone. For him, naturally, there would also be a share of political achievements.

Zhong Yuze said repeatedly, "That's too great, that's too great!"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Yuze, after these two projects land this time, your task will not be light either. Some mobilization, stability, and publicity work, as well as ideological work for cadres and the masses, will all need you to do."

Su Xinghui said this specifically to share some of the credit with Zhong Yuze, reflecting Zhong Yuze's importance, so that Zhong Yuze would have enthusiasm for his work, and at the very least, not drag Su Xinghui down or cause trouble for him.

For such a large project, what did it matter to share some political achievements with others? The thing Su Xinghui lacked the least was political achievements. Using these achievements to improve others' enthusiasm for work was a calculation Su Xinghui knew how to make.

In addition, this matter indeed required Zhong Yuze to carry out mobilization, publicity, and ideological work, because whenever there were large-scale projects, there would always be disputes. Handing such matters to Zhong Yuze was most appropriate.

Sure enough, Zhong Yuze happily said, "Fine, Mayor, you can leave these matters to me. I will definitely maintain the stability of Linshan City for you."

The next day, Su Xinghui convened a Standing Committee meeting to inform the Standing Committee members of the process of his trip to the capital to secure the projects. Hearing that such a large project was about to settle in Linshan City, everyone was very happy.

Su Xinghui also broke down the work of welcoming Nelson and preparing for the project, basically giving all Standing Committee members something to do, giving them power in their hands, as well as the right to spend money. This made the Standing Committee members satisfied.

Although Su Xinghui had been quite strict in many aspects since he arrived, making these Standing Committee members feel somewhat restricted, he had also brought benefits. So many large projects settling in Linshan City was equivalent to making the cake bigger, allowing everyone to have things to do, power to grasp, and abundant political achievements. Therefore, this still made these Standing Committee members very satisfied.

After the Standing Committee meeting was over, everyone performed their respective duties and began the preparatory work for the project.

A few days later, Nelson arrived in Linshan City. He had set off in the morning, but by the time he arrived in Linshan, it was already close to the end of the workday in the afternoon.

Nelson only called Su Xinghui when his car reached the territory of Linshan. Su Xinghui was both surprised and happy. He hurriedly asked Zhai Yingjie to drive him and Xing Guodong to the intersection entering the urban area of Linshan City to wait for Nelson there. Of course, he also instructed Weng Jingyao to book a private room at the municipal government guesthouse and notified all Standing Committee members to attend this welcome banquet.

After waiting for about half an hour, Nelson's car arrived. By this time, the sky was almost dark. Nelson's eyesight was quite good; he saw Su Xinghui waiting on the side of the road and had the car stop. After getting out of the car, he said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, why are you waiting here? The weather is too cold!"
