Chapter 481

One should look at things from a long-term perspective! Why bother fighting with these people for a moment of anger?

Of course, if these people were not sensible and kept making trouble behind his back again and again, he, Su Xinghui, would not be afraid to fight them.

At the end of this month, it was a Sunday. Su Xinghui returned to the county town on Saturday afternoon. If he didn't come back again, he estimated that Guo Suhua would be worried and would run to Pengjiawan to see him.

When he returned home, it was already past five o'clock. Guo Suhua had already returned home and was simmering soup. The pressure cooker on the stove was hissing, and the aroma of lotus root and pork ribs filled the whole room, making Su Xinghui's mouth water as soon as he smelled it.

This was the taste of home. Su Xinghui had grown up drinking lotus root and pork rib soup since he was a child. Of course, when he was young, he could drink it at most once or twice a year. Now, he could simmer it whenever he wanted to drink it. Living conditions were getting better and better.

After entering the door, Su Xinghui said loudly, "Mom, I'm back. You're simmering soup? It smells so good!"

Guo Suhua smiled in the kitchen, "Xinghui is back. The soup is almost ready. Wait for your dad to get off work, and we can start eating!"

After Su Wenjun returned, the family of three sat at the dinner table and drank lotus root soup. However, after drinking a few mouthfuls of lotus root soup, Su Wenjun couldn't help but ask, "Xinghui, did the Discipline Inspection Commission investigate you?"

It turned out that the rumor that Su Xinghui was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission had also reached Su Wenjun's ears. In a place as small as Shangjun County, whatever happened was basically known to the whole county within two or three days.

Su Xinghui said, "Dad, the Discipline Inspection Commission just went to verify the situation, not to investigate."

Su Wenjun said, "Then was the situation verified clearly?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "There is already a conclusion. The things reported in that report letter are all groundless."

Su Wenjun said, "This means you have no problems, right?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Of course there are no problems. Don't you know me?"

Su Wenjun nodded and said, "That's good."

Guo Suhua couldn't help but say, "How come someone framed you when you are a town mayor? Do you know who wrote the report letter?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I don't know. Working always offends people. This report letter is anonymous. Who knows who wrote it?"

Guo Suhua said, "Why don't you stop being this town mayor? It's too scary. Or don't offend people. I've been on pins and needles these past few days."

Su Xinghui said, "Mom, let me tell you a few things. Do you still think I shouldn't offend them?"

Su Xinghui told Guo Suhua about the chaos in Pengjiawan before. In fact, Guo Suhua had heard him talk about it before, and she nodded silently.

Su Xinghui told Guo Suhua about the evil deeds of Peng Taiping, Peng Siping, Zhang Lihui, and others. He said, "These people made a good Pengjiawan Town smoky and the people miserable. Mom, do you think I should offend them? If I don't offend them, it's equivalent to offending the common people of Pengjiawan Town."

Su Wenjun said, "I think Xinghui did the right thing. If an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Since you are a cadre, you have to do some practical things. If you are afraid of offending people, how can you work?"

Guo Suhua said, "But I'm afraid Xinghui will be rectified!"

Su Wenjun said, "What era is this now? It's not the era where people were rectified for no reason. As long as Xinghui hasn't done anything wrong, he doesn't need to be afraid. Everything can be explained clearly."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Yes, Mom, don't worry. I will be very careful and won't make any mistakes. No matter how others frame me, it's useless."

Although Guo Suhua was worried, she also knew that what her son did was right. After hearing her husband and son's words, she nodded and said, "Xinghui, Mom supports you, but you must pay attention to your own safety."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, I will definitely pay attention to safety."

Guo Suhua smiled and said, "It's good that you're fine this time. Drink more lotus root soup. How long has it been since you came home to drink the lotus root soup I simmered?"

Su Xinghui nodded and drank the lotus root soup sweetly.

After dinner, Su Xinghui went to Zhang Kaishan's house. Before he came back, he called Zhang Kaishan, saying that he wanted to report his work to Zhang Kaishan after he returned. Zhang Kaishan told him to come to his house in the evening.

When he arrived at Zhang Kaishan's house, Zhang Kaishan had already finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Seeing Su Xinghui coming, Zhang Kaishan got up and went into the study. Zhang Cheng gave Su Xinghui a thumbs up, Su Xinghui laughed, and then entered the study.

Zhang Cheng brewed two cups of tea and sent them in. After he went out, Zhang Kaishan said, "Are you settled in your heart now?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I have never been unsettled."

Zhang Kaishan laughed loudly, "Good, good, good, I really admire you. You really have ideas in your heart!"

Su Xinghui said, "I have a bottom line in my heart, so of course I won't be unsettled."

Zhang Kaishan said seriously, "Xinghui, regarding this matter, you can tell me whatever thoughts you have."

Su Xinghui said, "It's nothing. Isn't this a normal thing? Someone wrote a report letter, so it should be investigated."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Xinghui, do you know how many times I have been reported in my life?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I really don't know this."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Actually, I don't know how many times I have been reported. But I think it must be at least a hundred times."

Su Xinghui said, "So many times?"

Zhang Kaishan said, "Which cadre above the section or division level hasn't been reported? If you reach the department level or above, the report letters about you could probably pile up into a mountain. Of course, some anonymous report letters that are purely catching shadows will not be accepted by the Discipline Inspection Commission at all. If every report letter were verified and investigated, even if a county Discipline Inspection Commission were equipped with hundreds of people, they wouldn't be able to keep up."

Su Xinghui nodded silently. In his previous life, he only served as a deputy section-level cadre at the highest, and it was a leisure position. He hadn't been investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, but he didn't know if there were any report letters about him that the Discipline Inspection Commission didn't accept.

Zhang Kaishan said, "Ever since I became a section-level cadre, people have been writing report letters about me. After I became a deputy county magistrate, there were even more report letters about me. Do you think Shan Guozhi and the others didn't want to make a fuss about this back then? I have been investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission at least five times, but every time they couldn't find anything, and Shan Guozhi and the others couldn't do anything to me."
