Chapter 502

Over the past two years, this water-to-oil matter had been hyped up in the newspapers, with both positive and negative reports. Lu Xiaoya had been at the newspaper office for over half a year, so she naturally knew about this matter, and she also remembered Wang Hongcheng's name.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, that Wang Hongcheng is with them."

Lu Xiaoya said disapprovingly, "Then let them be with the con artist. It's good if they get scammed by the con artist; we'll be happy to watch the joke."

Su Xinghui wanted to say something more, but he saw a taxi stop at the hotel entrance with a screech. He said to Lu Xiaoya, "The taxi is here, let me carry you over. We'll talk about this matter when we get home."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You don't need to carry me, just help me walk over."

Su Xinghui said, "That won't do. Your ankle is sprained, and the injured foot can't bear weight. If it bears weight, it will get worse and worse. Let me carry you."

Only then did Lu Xiaoya nod and let Su Xinghui carry her to the hotel entrance and into the taxi.

Su Xinghui gave the address, and the taxi drove to the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee compound. Su Xinghui paid the fare and carried Lu Xiaoya down again. Lu Xiaoya's weight was only about a hundred jin, so it was very easy for him to carry her.

Su Xinghui carried Lu Xiaoya to the gate of the Provincial Party Committee compound. The armed police soldier on duty recognized Lu Xiaoya, saluted them, and let them pass. Su Xinghui carried Lu Xiaoya all the way back home.

Su Xinghui knocked on the door. Lu Xiaoya was a bit shy and wanted to get off Su Xinghui's back, but Su Xinghui said she couldn't, so she could only lie on his back and watch Song Qiaoli open the door.

As soon as Song Qiaoli opened the door and saw Su Xinghui carrying Lu Xiaoya, she was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Xiaoya, what happened?"

She moved aside to let Su Xinghui carry Lu Xiaoya into the living room and place her on the sofa. Lu Zhenghong was reading a newspaper on the sofa. He put down the newspaper and also asked, "Xiaoya, is your foot injured?"

Lu Xiaoya angrily told her parents about how Tian Xiaopeng and the others had intentionally scared her with their car after the meal, and how she had sprained her foot while dodging.

Song Qiaoli was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, "These bad boys! Old Lu, we must tell Governor Tian about this!"

Lu Zhenghong shook his head and asked, "Xinghui, is there a big problem with Xiaoya's foot?"

Su Xinghui said, "The problem isn't big, it's just a sprained ankle. I already rubbed it with safflower oil in the hotel. After she washes her feet later, I'll rub it for her again. The bruising will disperse in a day or two at most. As long as she doesn't do strenuous exercise, there won't be any problems."

Hearing Su Xinghui's words, Song Qiaoli wasn't as angry, but she still said indignantly, "This is just too despicable!"

Lu Zhenghong said, "Old Song, we can't tell Governor Tian's family about this. Our two families have different statuses, so even if it's a family matter, it can't be considered purely a family matter."

Song Qiaoli said, "So Xiaoya should just let them bully her?"

Although Song Qiaoli was still resentful, she was now the spouse of a member of the Provincial Party Committee and wasn't completely ignorant of political matters. She naturally knew that this matter wasn't that simple. If it were really blown up, it might cause a big disturbance, so her tone softened a bit.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Mom, Dad is right. Besides, those bad boys have suffered losses at Xinghui's hands before. If you count it up, they're the ones who suffered the bigger losses."

Lu Xiaoya had naturally told her parents about the last time Tian Xiaopeng and the others were at Meng Hu Ling. Hearing this, Song Qiaoli didn't say anything more, but she still looked indignant and asked Lu Xiaoya softly where she was uncomfortable.

Su Xinghui said to Lu Zhenghong, "Uncle Lu, I have another situation to report to you."

Lu Zhenghong stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to my study."

After entering the study, Lu Zhenghong pointed to a chair and said, "Sit."

Su Xinghui sat down.

Lu Zhenghong asked with a smile, "How is the situation over there for you now?"

Su Xinghui said, "Now several foreign-invested enterprise factory buildings have been built and put into production, and they are already generating benefits. The employment situation for the labor force in our township is very good, and the per capita income of the common people is also rising steadily."

Su Xinghui reported the current situation of Meng Hu Ling in detail to Lu Zhenghong. Hearing that Meng Hu Ling Township was developing so smoothly now, Lu Zhenghong also nodded and smiled repeatedly, obviously very satisfied.

After Su Xinghui finished speaking, Lu Zhenghong said, "This year, inspection teams from all over the province have been sent to your place to inspect. As long as your results are good, next year we will promote the Meng Hu Ling model throughout the province and vigorously develop the agricultural economy of the whole province."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "As long as this model can be promoted and strictly implemented, I think the agricultural economy of the whole province will have great development."

Lu Zhenghong said, "You said just now that you had a situation to report to me, it shouldn't be this matter, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "Just now while eating, I saw someone in the hotel with Tian Xiaopeng's group."

Lu Zhenghong said, "What kind of person is it?"

He knew that the person Su Xinghui mentioned so solemnly must not be an ordinary person.

Su Xinghui said, "His name is Wang Hongcheng."

"'Wang Hongcheng'?" Lu Zhenghong frowned, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Lu, do you remember a few years ago someone said they could turn water into oil?"

"Him?" Lu Zhenghong remembered the name.

This water-to-oil matter had been hyped up too much in the past few years and was almost known to everyone in the country. How could Lu Zhenghong not know about this matter? Of course, his impression of this matter was deeper than his impression of Wang Hongcheng as a person, so he didn't react for a moment to who Wang Hongcheng was.

Lu Zhenghong frowned and said, "What is he doing looking for Tian Xiaopeng and the others? Didn't there be document spirit this year saying that it is not allowed to continue to promote the water-to-oil matter? It seems that the higher-ups have almost reached a conclusion on this matter."

Su Xinghui said, "Wang Hongcheng is definitely a con artist. I heard the dialogue between Yan Qing and the others and Wang Hongcheng. They want to cooperate with Wang Hongcheng to open a factory in Jiangcheng to produce his so-called expansion agent."

Lu Zhenghong said, "Xinghui, are you sure Wang Hongcheng is a con artist?"

Lu Zhenghong's expression was very serious. He couldn't help but be serious about this matter. Wang Hongcheng's influence was too great, and many leading cadres had a very good relationship with him. Although the higher-ups had document spirit saying they would no longer promote him, there was still no conclusion that he was a con artist.

Su Xinghui saying Wang Hongcheng was a con artist would involve political risks. If you don't kill the tiger, you will be bitten by the tiger in return.
