But in front of Hou Guangbi, he didn’t dare lose his temper. He could only turn his face away; he didn’t want to see Su Xinghui’s grinning face again. He was afraid that if he looked a few more times, he would really be angry enough to vomit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Ge Honglin didn’t take it, Su Xinghui simply put the glass of water on the coffee table. He said, “Mayor Ge, drink slowly. It’s freshly poured boiling water, don’t burn yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Chenxi shouted angrily, “Su Xinghui, don’t be too presumptuous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui’s face changed, and he looked coldly at Zhang Chenxi. Zhang Chenxi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar when swept by his gaze, shivering, and didn’t dare to speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This made the group of people from the Investment Promotion Office next to Zhang Chenxi feel strange. Zhang Chenxi was the son of the Municipal Committee Deputy Secretary and was always arrogant. Who had he ever been afraid of? How could he be so afraid after being swept by this Su Xinghui?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They didn’t know that Zhang Chenxi had suffered a major loss at Su Xinghui’s hands. That kick had made Zhang Chenxi’s thigh hurt for half a month. Seeing Su Xinghui’s sharp gaze, he felt his thigh hurt again. How could he dare to bare his fangs in front of Su Xinghui?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man under forty standing next to Ge Honglin said to Su Xinghui, “Su Xinghui, do you know who you are talking to? How dare you be so presumptuous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said indifferently, “Isn’t he just the Deputy Mayor of your Jiangcheng Municipal Government? He’s not the Deputy County Head of our Shangjun County, so it seems he can’t control me, right? May I ask, who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man was so angry he almost laughed. So he was just a clueless greenhorn who really thought the Deputy Mayor of Jiangcheng couldn’t control a cadre from Shangjun County? He sneered, “I am Xing Xiuhe, the Director of the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, “So it’s Director Xing. I say, you guys are doing things too underhandedly, aren’t you? You intercepted our Shangjun County’s guests at the airport. What’s that about? Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xing Xiuhe sneered, “I give you an explanation? Do I need to give you an explanation? Who do you think you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, “I certainly don’t think I’m anyone. Judging by Director Xing’s tone, Director Xing must think he’s someone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xing Xiuhe’s face turned as dark as pig liver, turning bright red. He pointed at Su Xinghui. “You, you, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, “Hey, Comrade Xing Xiuhe, why are you learning from Mayor Ge? Did you suddenly start stuttering too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui’s words were too vicious. Lu Xiaoya let out another “pfft” of laughter, and even some of the young people from the Investment Promotion Office behind Xing Xiuhe couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Han shouted angrily, “Su Xinghui, who gave you the guts to insult two leaders like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said seriously, “Deputy Director Cheng, people must humiliate themselves before others humiliate them. You were the ones who did the wrong thing and said the wrong thing first, so don’t blame others for insulting you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ge Honglin said, “Stop playing with words with this kid. Call the hotel security and throw him out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hou Guangbi spoke up. “Mayor Ge, this is a junior of mine. He’s a bit young and vigorous, and his words are a bit lacking in measure. But is it necessary to throw him out? Can you really hold a grudge against a junior?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once Hou Guangbi spoke, the nature of this matter immediately became less serious, as if it were a joke. In this way, Ge Honglin naturally couldn’t hold onto this matter. If he brought it up again, not only would he appear narrow-minded, but he would also offend Hou Guangbi. Didn’t you hear him say that Su Xinghui was his junior?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ge Honglin forced a smile. “Since Old Mr. Hou has spoken, let’s end this matter here. Old Mr. Hou, it’s getting late, please come down with us for dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hou Guangbi said, “Mayor Ge, you go down first. We have a few more words to say and will be down immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ge Honglin was helpless. He nodded. “Alright, then we’ll go down first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ge Honglin took the group from the Investment Promotion Office and went out. Hou Dali closed the door. After closing the door, Hou Guangbi smiled. “Mr. Su, ‘people must humiliate themselves before others humiliate them.’ Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui returned to his polite appearance. “Old Mr. Hou, sorry, I’ve made you laugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hou Guangbi shook his head. “I think it’s quite interesting. Mr. Su, I don’t know much about the current situation in China, but compared to a deputy mayor of a provincial capital, the status of a town head should be very different, right? You spoke to him like that just now, aren’t you really afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, “I think we should reason in such matters, not just talk about the gap in status and position. If you are in the right, you can go anywhere in the world; if you are in the wrong, you can’t move an inch. I am in the right, so I don’t need to be afraid of anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hou Guangbi looked at Su Xinghui with a smile. In fact, he also knew that Su Xinghui must have something to rely on, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to speak to someone whose status and position were so much higher than his. But the neither humble nor arrogant way Su Xinghui spoke to Ge Honglin just now truly made him admire him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With Hou Guangbi’s status, he didn’t know how many big shots he had seen in his life, and he had naturally seen many juniors of big shots. Those people were called young talents, but in his view, none of them compared to the young man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui had successively left Ge Honglin, Xing Xiuhe, and Cheng Han speechless, but those three high-ranking and powerful people could only use their status to suppress others. Compared to Su Xinghui, the difference was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Su Xinghui’s heroic appearance, Hou Guangbi was in a trance, as if he saw Zhuge Liang debating the scholars, and as if he saw an old friend from many years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>",1092,"2026-06-16T17:50:43.208Z","2026-06-17T08:56:06.694Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0fe3c302d9c0fb431e20992d58107231cfdf4fbe7eea140068dd5b76e98f927d","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-512","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-510",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
