Chapter 385

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Mom, try to look on the bright side. If you aren't working, you aren't working. It's more relaxing at home anyway. Now that we're all working, the family isn't lacking that bit of money you make."

Guo Suhua didn't want her son to worry too much, so she nodded and smiled, "Mm, I'll just consider it resting at home."

Su Xinghui helped Guo Suhua finish cooking, and Su Wenjun also got off work and returned home. After the family ate, Su Xinghui went to Zhang Kaishan's house.

Zhang Kaishan was at home, but he was rarely at leisure these days. At that moment, Director Cai from the Water Conservancy Bureau was reporting his work to him. Director Cai was an old man in his fifties who rambled on and couldn't get to the point. Zhang Kaishan listened with great impatience, and after he asked a few questions, Director Cai was left stuttering and tongue-tied.

Zhang Kaishan said, "Old Cai, you'd better go back and do your homework properly first, then come to my office to report tomorrow."

Director Cai stood up, nodded and bowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left.

Only then did Zhang Kaishan's solemn expression relax. He said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, you're here!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "It seems I've come at a bad time; Uncle Zhang is in a bad mood!"

Zhang Kaishan shook his head and said, "Sigh, only after becoming county magistrate did I realize what a mess this is. Everything is truly in need of repair! Enterprises are failing, agriculture is backward, the treasury is in deficit, and this water conservancy situation is also a huge problem!"

It turned out that after taking office, Zhang Kaishan had conducted an inspection of the county's water conservancy facilities and discovered many problems. The facilities were severely aged, and the main Yangtze River embankment had been in disrepair for years. Since almost the entire territory of Shangjun County was along the Yangtze River, the consequences would be unimaginable if something went wrong. Zhang Kaishan had ordered Director Cai to write a report on the state of the county's water conservancy facilities and submit it.
