Chapter 485

Lei Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "Good, I admire you!"

The two drank tea here. By nearly twelve o'clock, they ordered a few dishes and drank wine. Su Xinghui took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to pay the bill.

After Lei Ming knew, he complained about Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Don't you know the conclusion reached by the Discipline Inspection Commission last time? I have a legal income of more than 300,000. What does it matter if I treat you to a drink?"

Lei Ming then said, "Then I must pay the bill next time."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, then I'll go first. I have to rush back to Pengjiawan in the afternoon."

Lei Ming nodded and waved goodbye to him.

After saying goodbye to Lei Ming, Su Xinghui called Xu Haimin. Knowing that he was at the company, he went to Haimin Construction and found Xu Haimin.

Xu Haimin brewed a cup of tea for Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, fortunately we didn't do anything wrong, otherwise you would have been pitted this time."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Xu, it is precisely because I trust you that I handed over the project to you. Your company is also very competitive, and you have a great advantage in the bidding. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to take care of you."

Xu Haimin said, "It's good that it's fine."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Xu, I came to you today for something."

Xu Haimin asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Xinghui said, "Have all the storefronts on the commercial street been sold?"

Xu Haimin nodded and said, "All sold."

Su Xinghui said, "Were they all sold for cash?"

Xu Haimin smiled and said, "Of course they were all cash. The storefronts there were very popular. Later, even if you brought cash, you might not be able to buy them. Who has the face to owe money? Hongtu Real Estate later developed the Nanmen Street residential area, which used this fund."

In this era, no bank had yet launched mortgage loan business, and buying a house could only be cash.

Su Xinghui said, "Then can you help me check the transaction situation of one of the storefronts?"

Xu Haimin said, "That's no problem. Tell me which one, and I'll call Xiao Ming and ask him to bring some receipts from that time."

Su Xinghui said the house number of Shu Rong's storefront. Xu Haimin nodded and called Xu Xiaoming. After a while, Xu Xiaoming rushed over.

Xu Xiaoming brought the receipt for that storefront. This storefront was sold when the commercial street started pre-sale last year, more than ten days later than when Su Xinghui bought the storefront for the first time. The receipt showed that no deposit was paid, but the full amount was paid at once. The full amount was more than 30,000, and the name of the payer was Shu Rong.

Xu Xiaoming asked, "Xinghui, are you checking Shu Rong's storefront?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "It's not checking, it's just some curiosity. Do you remember, when she came to buy the storefront, did she come alone or did someone accompany her?"

Xu Xiaoming had a fresh memory of this matter. Shu Rong was a celebrity in Shangjun County, and she was too beautiful, which easily left a deep impression.

He nodded and said, "Of course I remember. At that time, she came alone. No one accompanied her. After she picked out that storefront, she also desperately acted like a spoiled child to Xiao Li in our sales department, asking Xiao Li to give her more discounts, which made Xiao Li blush. Our sales department people laughed at him for a long time later."

Su Xinghui thought to himself, a woman like Shu Rong acting like a spoiled child is indeed not something that an ordinary young man can withstand.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Then was she given a discount later?"

Xu Xiaoming said, "You don't say, her charm is really not small. Later, Xiao Li took the initiative to ask me to give her more discounts. Xiao Li is the backbone of our sales department, so I gave him face and gave her a little more discount, which was also a few hundred yuan cheaper."

Su Xinghui said, "Didn't you remind Xiao Li that she is a married woman and has a history that is not glorious before?"

Xu Xiaoming said, "Of course I told him, but Xiao Li said he didn't have any other thoughts, just felt that Shu Rong was quite pitiful."

Xu Haimin shook his head and laughed. A woman like Shu Rong would be pitiful? Xiao Li was still too young.

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Ming, thank you!"

Xu Xiaoming said, "Why are you so polite? Is there any problem with that Shu Rong? Do you need me to help you watch her? She opened a clothing store in her storefront."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "No need, there is no urgent matter, just a little curious. Alright, Uncle Xu, Brother Ming, I'm leaving first."

Su Xinghui didn't take Shu Rong's matter to heart. After returning to Pengjiawan Town, he threw himself into intense work again.

Su Xinghui didn't care what Jia Hequn had with Shu Rong. If he had any disciplinary or illegal behavior, the Discipline Inspection Commission would naturally take care of it. If he investigated, it would be overstepping his authority. If this matter was known by someone with a heart, it would also be unfavorable to Su Xinghui. At least he would leave an impression of being insidious and vengeful.

His going to Shu Rong's clothing store and asking Xu Xiaoming about the situation when Shu Rong bought the storefront might be purely his curiosity. Of course, if he could learn the real evidence of the connection between Jia Hequn and Shu Rong, he wouldn't have any opinions.

The day after returning to Pengjiawan, Su Xinghui received a call. He received this call at seven o'clock in the evening. As soon as he picked up the phone, Su Xinghui said, "Hello, I am Su Xinghui!"

Because he didn't know who was on the other side, Su Xinghui used Mandarin. A somewhat old voice came from the other side, "Is it Town Mayor Su? I am Hou Guangbi, I don't know if Town Mayor Su has any impression?"

Hou Guangbi? Su Xinghui quickly searched in his mind. Wasn't that the Chinese old man who Joao said bought his painting last time? He should very likely be Hou Dali's uncle.

After Joao left last time, Su Xinghui originally wanted to find Hou Dali and ask him if he had an uncle named Hou Guangbi. But he thought about it, it's better to tell Hou Dali after Hou Guangbi contacts him.

If he asked Hou Dali, and Hou Dali knew that he had relatives overseas, but later Hou Guangbi didn't contact him, wouldn't that make Hou Dali happy in vain? Anyway, so many years have passed, and it's not a month or two.

This is not impossible. So many years have passed, overseas Chinese don't know about the country, and he is still a government official. Whether others dare to contact him is a problem. Besides, listening to Joao, the overseas Hou family is now a big family. Who knows how many of them want to come back?
