Chapter 4001

Now, he was actively asking for a cigarette, which proved that his willpower had basically collapsed.

The case officers had gained a very clear understanding of Tian Xiaopeng over these past few days, and they all understood his psychology; hearing him ask for a cigarette, they gave him one.

Tian Xiaopeng smoked that cigarette in silence, and after finishing it, he nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask."

……

A major breakthrough had been made in the Tian Xiaopeng case, and the interrogation of Tian Xiaotao had also intensified. Tian Xiaotao's willpower was far inferior to Tian Xiaopeng's; previously, it was just that the interrogators hadn't paid much attention to him, but now that they tightened the screws, he didn't hold out for long before confessing everything.

Su Xinghui was fully aware of all these matters, and he let out a long sigh of relief. This time, he had finally changed the national trend for once; this could be considered one of the things that had given him the greatest sense of accomplishment since his rebirth.

However, he was not so impatient as to rush this matter. He knew that even if the general trend was set, the confirmation of certain details still required a process. If he were too hasty, he would only end up burning his mouth on hot tofu. He began to shift his focus to the development of Linshan City.

Time entered November, and it had already begun to snow in Linshan City. The weather was getting colder, but the hearts of the people in Linshan were getting warmer. Linshan City's economy continued to improve, its urbanization process was very smooth, the employment rate remained high, and the per capita income was constantly rising.

After a year of development, Linshan City's GDP ranking had risen to third place in the entire province, second only to Baozhou City and Yanzhong City. This was a huge miracle.

Su Xinghui had only been in Linshan for two years, and when he had just taken over the position of Mayor of Linshan City, it was a mess waiting to be rebuilt, with a ranking that was quite low in the province. Yet, it had only taken him two years to push Linshan City to third place in the province; this was truly incredible.

Of course, 2008 was not over yet, and the final rankings had not come out, but everyone believed that no one could challenge Linshan City's third-place position; Linshan City's economic growth was too rapid.

What people found most incredible was that Linshan City's high economic growth rate did not rely mainly on the real estate industry, but on attracting investment, and the investments attracted were mainly in high-tech industries.

Nowadays, a large part of the high economic growth rate in many cities was due to the growth of the real estate industry, with some cities accounting for more than 30 percent. This had become a norm for urban economic development, but Linshan City had gone against the grain and achieved very good results, which forced people to reflect.

It had snowed in Linshan City, and Yu Ruizhi and the others had come to Linshan again. This time, they were also going to the Luoxing Mountain Ski Resort to have fun, and of course, they had also invited Su Xinghui's family.

Su Xinghui's nerves had been taut for this period of time, and now he was finally able to relax a bit. He also took advantage of

a weekend to go to Luoxing Mountain with Yu Ruizhi and the others.

Linshan City was further north than Baozhou, so it snowed here earlier than in Baozhou. Yu Ruizhi and the others basically came to their own ski resort to play every year when it snowed. Skiing was truly a very good sport, and there were hot springs in his ski resort; after skiing, soaking in the hot springs was also a very good enjoyment.

Arriving at the Luoxing Mountain Ski Resort, after several days of heavy snow, the snow here was already very thick and very suitable for skiing. There were many tourists now, and the ski slopes were almost full.

After thirty years of reform and opening up, the domestic economy had developed to a very high level, so the sport of skiing was loved by more and more people, and everyone had a demand for tourism. Many tourist attractions were packed with people during holidays.

Coming to Luoxing Mountain to ski combined both skiing and tourism functions, so it was naturally the choice of many people. Many people even flew from the distant south to ski here.

The Luoxing Mountain Ski Resort could also be considered a cash cow for Yu Ruizhi, and he had quite a few such cash cows. Just in Yanbei Province alone, he had four or five ski resorts, plus other tourist attractions he had developed; every year, the tourism industry alone could bring him an astronomical amount of income.

Over these years, relying on the investments Su Xinghui had pointed out to him, even if he did nothing, the money he earned every year would be enough for him to spend for several lifetimes. Moreover, he was also a hidden billionaire; his name could not be seen on any assets, and it was impossible to see the three words "Yu Ruizhi" on any Forbes list.

Seeing the ski resort's business booming, everyone was very happy for Yu Ruizhi.

Everyone changed into their gear and started skiing on the slopes, while the several elders, accompanied by the women, went to soak in the hot springs.

Niuniu also liked skiing very much. His height was already nearly 1.7 meters, and he was very agile; he learned to ski with half the effort. Under Su Xinghui's escort, he quickly learned to ski and was doing it quite well.

Yu Ruizhi stood with Su Xinghui, watching Niuniu skiing on a relatively flat slope, and he said with emotion, "Xinghui, I think your son will definitely be more outstanding than you in the future."

Niuniu had received the best education since he was a child, whether it was music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or martial arts, he had the most excellent teachers to teach him. Later, he was very lucky to meet Professor Yang and became Professor Yang's last disciple. Being able to receive Professor Yang's careful guidance, plus Su Xinghui's usual teachings by example, it was possible for him to be more outstanding than Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Isn't that a good thing? Don't you also hope that your Yu Haowen will be more outstanding than you in the future?"

Yu Ruizhi laughed and said, "Isn't it normal for him to be more outstanding than me? I didn't read much since I was a child, and I couldn't do anything right. If I hadn't met you and often received your guidance, how could I have my current achievements? No matter what, Haowen has read many more years of books than I have."

Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi looked at each other and smiled. Counting it up, the two had known each other for more than ten years. The relationship between the two could no longer just be called close friends; it could completely be called brothers—not biological brothers, but better than biological brothers.

Now, their children had also grown up. Seeing their own children being so outstanding, the joy in their hearts was beyond words.

These days, the two men's moods were even better because they both knew that the overall situation of this game was set and there would be no more variables. For them, and for the entire nation and people, this was a great thing. To be honest, Yu Ruizhi's coming to Luoxing Mountain to ski this time was also because of the finalization of this matter; he wanted to bring Su Xinghui along to celebrate and relax. ===== CHAPTER 4003 =====
