Chapter 4021

However, most of the other Standing Committee members were not so gentlemanly. When they toasted, they insisted that Gu Fanghua finish the wine in her glass.

At this, Zheng Hong couldn't stand it. She put her arm around Gu Fanghua's shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Are you all bullying our sister Fanghua? Sister Fanghua, don't listen to them. When they toast you, just take a sip."

Gu Fanghua was indeed unable to hold her liquor, but since it was her first time here, it was not good not to drink. Now that Zheng Hong was helping her out, she was very grateful.

However, those Standing Committee members were still relentless. Fortunately, Peng Yue and Xing Guodong also couldn't stand it, and they also told those Standing Committee members not to force her too hard.

With several Standing Committee members helping Gu Fanghua out, Su Xinghui also sat there with a solemn face. Those Standing Committee members naturally couldn't make any more trouble, so a small disturbance was resolved, and Gu Fanghua was able to enjoy the privilege of only taking a small sip of wine each time.

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still very lively, and other Standing Committee members were also toasting each other, so this welcome banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere.

Su Xinghui didn't take this matter to heart. However, a few days later, while he was at work, Lu Xiaoya called him, saying that Department Head Gu wanted to invite Su Xinghui and her family to dinner.

Su Xinghui originally intended to decline, but Lu Xiaoya said she had already agreed, so Su Xinghui could only nod and agree.

After work, Su Xinghui asked Zhai Yingjie to take him to the Municipal Government Guest House. Gu Fanghua and Lu Xiaoya had already gone there, booked a private room, and were waiting for Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui entered the private room and saw Gu Fanghua and Lu Xiaoya chatting affectionately like sisters. Su Xinghui smiled, took off his coat, hung it on the coat rack, and said to Gu Fanghua, "Department Head Gu, I'm sorry, you invite our family to dinner as soon as you arrive. Why don't I treat you today?"

Gu Fanghua said, "Mayor Su, let me treat you. I'm here to thank you for your gentlemanly demeanor that day. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to walk out standing that day."

Gu Fanghua had also figured out the composition of the Standing Committee in the past few days. She knew that Su Xinghui took the initiative to let her take only a small sip that day, and those Standing Committee members who helped her out were all followers of Su Xinghui. Therefore, she naturally had to thank Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui waved his hand and said, "Department Head Gu is too polite. This is just a small matter, it's nothing."

Gu Fanghua said, "It's a small matter to you, but it's a big matter to me. I just arrived in Linshan and I'm here alone. If I got drunk, there would be no one to take care of me at night, so I really thank you very much."

Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Sister Fanghua, don't thank him. He just has this kind of personality. When he sees someone egging others on to drink, he has to stand up for them."

Gu Fanghua said, "Then Mayor Su is still a knight-errant."

Su Xinghui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sigh, I'm just an out-of-place person."

Gu Fanghua smiled, called the waiter in, and asked Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya to order dishes. Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya each ordered a light dish. Gu Fanghua took the menu and ordered a hot pot and two more dishes. Su Xinghui quickly said it was enough. Only then did Gu Fanghua let the waiter serve the dishes and ordered a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of red wine.

Gu Fanghua toasted Su Xinghui with her first glass, "Mayor Su, this glass is to thank you!"

Su Xinghui said, "You should still drink less. Although it's red wine, it's also easy to get drunk."

Gu Fanghua still drank that half glass of red wine and said, "Mayor Su, don't worry, my drinking capacity is still okay, it's just that my face is easy to flush. Drinking with you two, I shouldn't get drunk."

Su Xinghui nodded and didn't say anything more. He started eating. His appetite has always been very large, and he was already hungry by now.

After Lu Xiaoya had a drink with Gu Fanghua, she asked, "Sister Fanghua, you came to Linshan alone, is Brother-in-law worried? Why don't you let him transfer to Linshan?"

Gu Fanghua said, "Sigh, he won't. He just likes to stay in school and teach. He doesn't want to go anywhere. His personality is quite eccentric."

Although Gu Fanghua said her husband had an eccentric personality, one could still hear from her tone that the marital relationship between her and her husband was quite good.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Why don't you transfer him to Linshan University? Now Linshan University has increased investment and is recruiting talent. Your husband is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Yanbei University, right? If he comes to Linshan University, he will definitely have a place to use his skills."

Gu Fanghua said, "Really? I just don't know how Linshan University is."

Su Xinghui said, "It can't be compared with Yanbei University for the time being, but now the Linshan Municipal Government is fully supporting Linshan University with large investment. The teaching conditions will be greatly improved. If he comes, Linshan University will definitely value him highly."

Gu Fanghua said, "He doesn't like being valued highly. He just likes teaching. That kind of pure academics is what he likes most. If you give him a position as the head of the mathematics department, he wouldn't come. Yanbei University was prepared to let him be the head of the mathematics department, but he refused."

Su Xinghui said, "In today's society, there are not many people like him. If he comes to Linshan University, he will definitely be able to satisfy his wish for pure academic research and teaching."

Gu Fanghua said, "Then I'll call him and talk about it to see if he is willing to come to Linshan University."

Su Xinghui laughed and said, "If he is willing to come, then Old Xie will definitely be very happy. Linshan University will have another talent!"

Gu Fanghua smiled and said, "Mayor Su, actually, I already knew your name before I came."

Su Xinghui asked, "How did you know?"

Gu Fanghua said, "Yunmei told me about you. She said you are a good cadre and a good leader."

Yunmei is Mi Yunmei, who was once Chi Yongjun's lover. Lu Xiaoya had heard Su Xinghui talk about this. When she went to Yan Zhong, she also met Mi Yunmei and could be considered good friends with her.

Seeing Lu Xiaoya's unsurprised look, Su Xinghui knew that it was no wonder Lu Xiaoya and Gu Fanghua got along like sisters so quickly. It turned out they were both good friends of Mi Yunmei.

Su Xinghui said, "So you are friends with Sister Yunmei. That is Sister Yunmei's overpraise."

Gu Fanghua said, "I have been good friends with Yunmei for many years. We are as close as sisters. She tells me everything. She doesn't think much of other leading cadres, but whenever she mentions you, she praises you endlessly, saying you are the best leader she has ever seen and that you are truly doing things for the common people."
