Chapter 4049

This afternoon, Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian hosted a meal for Su Xinghui at the Shangjun Hotel—formerly the Shangjun County Party Committee Guesthouse—and he invited all of Su Xinghui's close classmates, knowing that Su Xinghui wanted to see them today.

Quite a few of Su Xinghui's classmates came today, over a dozen in total, including Wu Jun, Wu Yuansheng, and Luo Xiaomei; they were all Su Xinghui's closest friends back in the day, and of course, Xue Qin came as well.

Wu Jun is now an Executive Deputy Director of the Yulin Municipal Public Security Bureau. He had already moved to Yulin, but Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian specifically called him to ask him to return today. Upon hearing that Su Xinghui was back, he naturally dropped everything else and rushed back.

Wu Yuansheng is now the principal of Shangjun No. 1 Middle School; his rank isn't high, just a deputy section-level, but he never had any interest in an official career, as working in education was his lifelong ambition. Luo Xiaomei is still a teacher at Shangjun No. 1, and the couple lives a very ordinary but happy life.

Xue Qin is the director of the Shangjun Municipal State Taxation Bureau. She is considered a key professional in the bureau, and over the years, she has been very eager to progress. Plus, being Su Xinghui's classmate, successive leaders in Shangjun have looked after her, which is how she became a director.

Although a director's rank isn't very high, it is no small feat for a woman, and it is said that the Yulin Municipal State Taxation Bureau intends to transfer Xue Qin to the municipal bureau after the New Year to serve as a deputy director.

As for Su Xinghui's other close friends from back then, Zhang Cheng has already followed his father, Zhang Kaishan, to Yuedong Province, and Xu Xiaoguang is currently far away in Hujiang working on a major project and couldn't make it back. However, he does go to Linshan often and meets with Su Xinghui frequently, so it isn't a regret.

Everyone is an old classmate who hasn't met in so many years, so upon meeting today, there was naturally a sense of warmth. Only Xue Qin felt a bit unnatural when she first saw Su Xinghui, but having spent over a decade climbing the ranks in officialdom, her awkwardness lasted only a split second.

Of course, with Municipal Party Secretary Qi and so many municipal leaders present, it wasn't easy for everyone to express their feelings too enthusiastically, so their methods of expression remained quite subtle.

After shaking hands with Su Xinghui, Wu Jun gave him a light hug. They were the best of brothers back then, and Wu Jun knew that his smooth sailing in his official career had a lot to do with Su Xinghui; this was something they both understood without needing to say it.

After shaking hands with Su Xinghui, Wu Yuansheng laughed and said, "Xinghui, I won't hug you. My wife is right here, and I'm afraid she'll get jealous."
