Chapter 3681

~5 min read 915 words

This time, after Qian Jianan arrived, he brought his family with him, so he chose to stay in a Standing Committee building. Of course, he did not choose the one where the former Municipal Party Committee Secretary had lived; after all, those Standing Committee members had all resigned to take responsibility for their mistakes. Although leading cadres should not be superstitious, there would always be some discomfort in their hearts, so if there was a choice, naturally, one would choose a place where no one had lived before.

With Qian Jianan saying this, Su Xinghui actually had to choose one, because his family was coming, and they had to have a place to stay. Besides, Qian Jianan had already moved in; if he, Su Xinghui, didn't move in, what would Qian Jianan think?

Consequently, Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, then I will choose a unit as well."

Qian Jianan chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Su Xinghui then stood up and said, "Secretary Qian, then I will return to my office first."

After returning to his office, Su Xinghui called Weng Jingyao over. He asked Weng Jingyao to bring the files on the vacant Standing Committee buildings for him to look at. Weng Jingyao knew that Su Xinghui must be thinking of choosing a Standing Committee building, so he hurriedly ran off to fetch the files for him to examine.

The layout of each of these Standing Committee buildings was different. Su Xinghui looked at the floor plans and chose one he liked better, saying to Weng Jingyao, "Director Weng, I will choose this one. Please help me with a simple renovation. I plan to move in around the middle of next month, and my family will be coming then."

Weng Jingyao said, "Is that so? That is a good thing. You don't have anyone to take care of you every day; if this continues for a long time, your health will suffer. I will definitely help you get this house renovated as soon as possible, ensuring you can move in on schedule and live comfortably."

Su Xinghui said, "Don't make the renovation too luxurious; simple is best. If any furniture or appliances need to be bought, I will pay for them."

Weng Jingyao said, "Mayor Su, you don't need to worry about that. The municipal government has a budget for this; it is a benefit that every leading cadre is entitled to."

Su Xinghui said, "Director Weng, you know my temperament. You must not make it too luxurious. Just painting the walls is enough, and some simple furniture and appliances will do."

Weng Jingyao nodded and said, "I understand."

Watching Weng Jingyao leave, Su Xinghui shook his head. He knew that Weng Jingyao would certainly try his best to please him and renovate this villa to make it feel more comfortable for him. However, Su Xinghui truly did not want it to be too luxurious. If it were his own money, a better renovation would be understandable, but since it was public funds, Su Xinghui felt somewhat uneasy living in such a house.

However, Su Xinghui could not always avoid social conventions. Other Standing Committee members, including Qian Jianan, were living in luxurious villas with peace of mind. Could Su Xinghui alone change this current situation?

Forget it, no need to overthink it. If he had to live there, he would. As long as he could do more good deeds for the common people, that would be worth the benefit.

On the other hand, if there were no such benefits and one couldn't have any gray income, what motivation would those cadres have to struggle and work themselves to the bone to reach their current positions? One couldn't demand that everyone be selfless, could they? Such scenes only exist in novels.

Therefore, Su Xinghui generally provided very generous benefits to subordinates with outstanding achievements, trying his best to give them more welfare. Of course, for those cadres who were just occupying their posts without doing any work, the benefits would certainly be much worse, and there would also be the danger of being dismissed or removed from their posts.

What Su Xinghui found somewhat unexpected was that that afternoon, Zhu Yue called him. She said she had already called Chen Xuehai, and Chen Xuehai had agreed to come to Linshan and could come at any time, following Su Xinghui's arrangements.

This news made Su Xinghui very happy. After hanging up the phone, he called Zhao Yichen.

Zhao Yichen was clearly in a very good mood. After picking up the phone, he said in a full-voiced tone, "Xinghui, is there anything you need from your Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Yichen couldn't help but be in a good mood. There was great hope for Baozhou's GDP ranking to enter the top fifteen in the country this year. There would be a leadership transition next year, and he had a very high chance of being transferred back to the provincial capital, at least as a high-ranking member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee. At his age, as long as he walked steadily in every step hereafter, it was very possible for him to serve a term as Provincial Party Secretary.

Therefore, he was very happy to receive Su Xinghui's call now. After all, Baozhou's political achievements were mainly brought about by Su Xinghui; Su Xinghui could be said to have brought him good fortune, and he was very willing to talk to Su Xinghui and share his joy.
