Chapter 4258

He Fusheng laughed: "It's nothing. The county sent a car to take us to Shudu, and then someone helped us onto the high-speed train. We didn't have to carry them the whole way; we only carried them when we got off. And look, you guys took the bags from us just in time, so we really aren't tired."

Everyone got into the car, and Yu Ruizhi started the engine and drove toward the Hou Family Hotel.

After getting out of the car, He Fusheng and his wife saw the magnificent Hou Family Hotel and were startled. He Fusheng said: "Secretary Su, President Yu, you want us to stay here? I can't afford this. The county's financial situation is very tight right now; staying at a guesthouse is enough for me."

Yu Ruizhi laughed: "It's fine, Old He. This is a property owned by a friend of mine; it doesn't cost money to stay here."

He Fusheng shook his head hurriedly: "That's even worse. How can one stay at a hotel without paying? Wouldn't that be making a mistake?"

Yu Ruizhi said sternly: "Old He, are we friends or not?"

He Fusheng nodded: "Of course we are friends."

Yu Ruizhi said: "Then that's it. Since we're friends, why are you bringing up money with me? If I go to Xingfu in the future, won't you host me at a hotel?"

He Fusheng felt something was wrong. Friends indeed have the obligation to share wealth, and if Yu Ruizhi and the others went to Xingfu, he would certainly have no problem hosting Yu Ruizhi at a hotel. But could this magnificent hotel in Jingcheng be compared to a small hotel in Xingfu?

He said: "Of course I would host you at a hotel, but..."

Su Xinghui laughed: "Secretary He, stop with the 'buts'. Brother Yu has already booked the rooms. Let's go in quickly. You've been on the road all this way, you must be tired; hurry up and get some rest."

Helpless, He Fusheng and Fu Min could only follow them into the hotel. Liao Xiaoyan happily held Fu Min's arm, just like a biological mother and daughter.

They entered the elevator and went up to the eighth floor. He Fusheng and Fu Min walked into the room Yu Ruizhi had booked for them, which stunned them again. The room was too luxurious; Yu Ruizhi had booked a luxury suite for them, with three bedrooms and a living room, totaling at least over a hundred square meters, and every room was decorated magnificently.

Seeing this golden and brilliant suite, although He Fusheng and his wife didn't know it was the presidential suite of the Hou Family Hotel that Yu Ruizhi had booked for them, they knew the room must be very expensive. He Fusheng shook his head again and said: "President Yu, this room must be very expensive; we can't stay here."

Yu Ruizhi suddenly became annoyed: "Hey, I say Old He, I respect you as a man who stands tall and firm, so why are you being so fussy now? I've already booked this room and paid for several days. If you don't stay now, it can't be refunded. What do you suggest we do?"

Su Xinghui laughed: "Secretary He, since you're here, just settle in. Be a bit more carefree. This room is big; the three of you can stay here for these few days and have a good time in Jingcheng. As for the money, you don't need to worry. Brother Yu is a tycoon; this little bit of money is nothing to him."

He Fusheng could only smile bitterly. If he insisted any further, he feared he wouldn't even be able to be friends with Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui anymore. He also knew that Yu Ruizhi was indeed wealthy, this amount of money meant nothing to him, and Yu Ruizhi had no need to ask anything of him, so there was no need to curry favor. This was entirely due to the sincere friendship between friends.

Therefore, He Fusheng could only settle in. He nodded and said: "Fine, then I'll accept your kindness."

Hearing He Fusheng say this, Yu Ruizhi turned from anger to joy: "Then hurry up and put your things down. You rest for a while, and we'll come to call you down for dinner later."

Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi put all their large and small bags into the room and then went out together, leaving the family of three alone.

After the two went out, Yu Ruizhi shook his head gently: "Sigh, this Old He, he's still a County Party Secretary, but I've never seen such a shabby County Party Secretary."

Su Xinghui nodded with deep empathy. Yes, where are there County Party Secretaries like He Fusheng nowadays? Many County Party Secretaries are picked up and dropped off by private cars when they go on business trips, and the places they frequent are high-end hotels or even various luxury entertainment venues, spending money like water without even blinking.

A County Party Secretary like He Fusheng wears a simple jacket and trousers, and he doesn't even wear leather shoes on his feet, but a pair of sneakers that don't match his trousers. His hairstyle is ordinary, he has quite a few gray hairs, and he is as thin as a dry stick, yet he carries large and small bags, looking exactly like a migrant worker who has come to Jingcheng to work.

There are really too few cadres like He Fusheng nowadays. One could say that many town mayors or even village chiefs look more like leaders than he does. He is truly an unconventional secretary.

However, only cadres like He Fusheng can earn the respect of Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi. As for those other so-called leaders, no matter how high their rank, Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi would not respect them.

After more than an hour, it was dinner time. Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi came to the room of He Fusheng's family of three again to call them down for dinner.

Entering the room, they saw Liao Xiaoyan had taken out the things from those large and small bags. There were many bottles and jars, all pickles from Western Sichuan, as well as some local specialties like cured meat, cured fish, and sausages. These were all things Liao Xiaoyan loved to eat most.

Liao Xiaoyan happily said: "Now I can eat for a year. Uncle Yu, Uncle Su, you guys should take some back too. The dishes my mom makes are delicious."

He Fusheng also said: "That's right, you guys should take more back later."

Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi also knew that Fu Min was indeed a good cook, and they also knew that accepting He Fusheng's goodwill would make the couple feel more comfortable. They both nodded and said: "Fine, then we'll take some back later."

He Fusheng and Fu Min nodded happily. Clearly, Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi being able to accept their goodwill made them very happy.

Su Xinghui said: "Then let's go down for dinner."

He Fusheng and his wife nodded, and the five of them went downstairs together to the restaurant on the second floor of the Hou Family Hotel for dinner. ===== CHAPTER 4260 =====
