Chapter 4206

Su Xinghui said with a faint smile, "I'm not here to report for someone else; I'm here to report for myself."

The secretary looked confused and said, "You're here to report for yourself? Are you a trainee in the division-level cadre class? That's not right, that class doesn't start for another half month."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not in the division-level cadre class; I'm a trainee in this short-term training class for newly appointed municipal party secretaries."

The secretary looked incredulous and said, "Are you joking? At your age, who would believe that? Look, brother, you can't make jokes like this. The leaders won't be happy if they hear you."

The staff member who was processing the registration looked up and said, "He's not joking. He is Comrade Su Xinghui, the Municipal Party Secretary of Linshan City, Yanbei Province, and also a trainee in this short-term training class for newly appointed municipal party secretaries."

Both secretaries opened their mouths wide, looking at Su Xinghui in surprise and awe. Su Xinghui gave another faint smile, nodded to them, took a temporary pass given to him by another staff member, and went out.

After he left, the two secretaries asked the staff member who processed the registration, "Comrade, is he really the Municipal Party Secretary of Linshan City?"

The staff member said impatiently, "Who would joke with you about this? Are you going to finish your registration or not?"

The two secretaries nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

After Su Xinghui went out, he placed the temporary pass behind the windshield. With this pass, his car could enter and exit the Central Party School directly in the future without having to stop and show his credentials to the guards every time.

Su Xinghui first went to the dormitory building and went up to the second floor. The staff member gave him the key to Room 208. He opened it and took a look; it was quite good, clean and tidy, with an independent bathroom, heating, hot water available at any time, as well as a TV and network interface. Su Xinghui had brought a laptop this time, which he could use right away.

After checking the dormitory, Su Xinghui drove back to the courtyard house, took a set of bedding, and put it in the trunk of his car, because he needed to bring his own bedding for the Party School dormitory.

He called Yu Ruizhi, who told him to go to Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu's private kitchen restaurant. They were all drinking there at noon today, which could also be considered a welcome party for Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui drove to the restaurant. Yu Ruizhi, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, Meng Fanxin, Chu Zheng, and Han Xiang Dong were already waiting there. It was still early, the dishes hadn't been served yet, and they were sitting at the table with a pot of tea.

Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, they all stood up and called his name. In their small circle, Su Xinghui had vaguely become the core. Although they were all quite arrogant and wealthy bosses, they were all quite convinced by Su Xinghui.

They knew that Su Xinghui deserved most of the credit for their success today, and Su Xinghui himself was impressive; he became a municipal party secretary at thirty-eight, and now he had come to the capital to attend a national short-term training class for newly appointed municipal party secretaries. His future was truly limitless, so everyone was a bit convinced by him.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Thank you, brothers, for the welcome!"

Yu Ruizhi said, "What are you talking about? Do we need to say 'thank you' between us? You'll be in the capital for three months; let's come here to drink whenever we have time!"

Chu Zheng said, "That's right, although I can't outdrink you, it's still quite satisfying to drink with you!"

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Xiao Wu, we aren't young anymore; we can't drink like we did when we were young."

Mentioning this, everyone thought of the time when Su Xinghui and Chu Zheng first met and bet on drinking. Chu Zheng drank nearly two jin of liquor, and Su Xinghui drank who knows how much. But that way of drinking really wouldn't work now; Chu Zheng was already over forty.

Chu Zheng nodded and said, "Xinghui, you're right. I'll drink less from now on, maybe just a jin and a half each time."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Chu Zheng also smiled and said, "I'm joking. I really need to drink less in the future, but since you're here, I'll drink a bit more today."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, let's drink to our heart's content today!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu smiled and poured a cup of tea for Su Xinghui, saying, "It's not time to drink yet, have some tea first."

Su Xinghui sat down and began to drink tea.

Han Xiang Dong said, "Xinghui, did you register today?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I've already registered."

Yu Ruizhi asked in surprise, "You're bringing bedding over? Why not stay at your own house?"

Su Xinghui said, "My house is too far from the Party School; it takes half an hour to drive there, which is too troublesome. I'll stay in the Party School dormitory. I checked, the conditions are quite good. I can eat in the cafeteria every day after class and stay in the dormitory, which is quite convenient. Besides, for this kind of training class, it's better to live on campus."

Meng Fanxin nodded and said, "Xinghui is right, for this kind of training class, it's better to live on campus."

Meng Fanxin was a person in the system, so he naturally knew Su Xinghui was right. For a training class of this level, the trainees were basically echelon cadres, and the leaders of the Party School were also high-level leaders of our Party. The performance of the trainees was all in their eyes. Being able to live on campus for trainees of this level would leave a good impression on them.

In fact, Su Xinghui wasn't staying on campus to leave a good impression on the leaders; he simply thought it was convenient.

Hearing their words, everyone understood Su Xinghui's thinking.

Chu Zheng said, "Then try living on campus first. If the food in the cafeteria isn't to your taste, come out to eat."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "Just come to my place to eat every day. My place isn't far from the Central Party School."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, if the cafeteria food isn't good, I'll come to your place to eat. But I'm afraid if I eat here for three months, I'll gain at least ten jin when I go back!"

Hearing Su Xinghui's joke, everyone laughed together.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu ordered the dishes to be served. Soon, a table full of dishes was served, and everyone poured their drinks and began to drink.

Yu Ruizhi said he would send someone to drive Su Xinghui's car to the Party School in the afternoon, so Su Xinghui also started drinking. Since everyone was welcoming him, it was impossible for him not to drink.

Chu Zheng was especially happy today, drinking cup for cup with Su Xinghui, really intending to drink until they were drunk. However, he actually had a sense of proportion; he knew he was no match for Su Xinghui, so he was just drinking to his heart's content today, after all, they were drinking 30-year-old Pengwan Daqu, his favorite liquor.

After finishing lunch, everyone sat there for a while, chatted for a bit, and then went home to rest. Yu Ruizhi arranged for a driver to drive Su Xinghui's car to the Central Party School, and the driver helped Su Xinghui move his bedding and luggage to his dormitory before leaving.

As Su Xinghui was making his bed, the door was pushed open. Su Xinghui looked back and saw a middle-aged man of about fifty walking in, followed by a young man who looked like a secretary.

Seeing Su Xinghui, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "You must be Comrade Su Xinghui, right?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I am Su Xinghui. And you are?"
