Chapter 527

Su Xinghui nodded and smiled, "Even if the two-day weekend system is implemented, a township cadre like me won't have that much time to rest!"

For township cadres, the two-day weekend system was often in name only. They could rest, but the farmers couldn't. If something happened in the countryside, could they say, "I'm resting today, so I can't go handle it"?

Yu Ruizhi said, "At least Xiaoya can take advantage of the weekend to come see you more often!"

Su Xinghui said, "This is a huge positive for your tourism industry!"

Yu Ruizhi gave a thumbs up, "Your sense is still as sharp as ever; as soon as you heard about the two-day weekend system, you thought of the tourism industry."

Su Xinghui sweated. What kind of sharp sense was this? He knew from his previous life that one of the reasons the country implemented the two-day weekend system was to stimulate the development of the tourism industry.

Su Xinghui said, "The common people’s rest days have increased, and their wages are also increasing, so they will naturally think about traveling. By the way, when will the two-day weekend system be implemented?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "This policy has been decided internally, but it hasn't been announced yet. It will probably be announced in two months and officially implemented on May 1st."

Su Xinghui smiled, "I think, Brother Yu, you can find the Central Television Station and ask them to help rebroadcast that scenery documentary again."

Yu Ruizhi laughed heartily, "Xinghui, we are truly of one mind! I have already told President Li to have that scenery documentary rebroadcast once or twice during prime time on different channels before May 1st, and he agreed completely."

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, your economic mind is very sharp now!"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Can I afford not to be sharp? This relates to my wallet. The investment was so large last year, and it is still in the investment stage, but last year’s tourism revenue was only a few million, not even enough to cover the fraction of the investment. We have to find a way to earn back the investment!"

Su Xinghui said, "Don't worry, once this two-day weekend system is implemented, the scenic spots you developed will definitely become popular, and you can just wait to count the money!"

Yu Ruizhi chuckled, obviously thinking of the scene of counting money.

Su Xinghui said, "By the way, Brother Yu, no matter how popular the tourism market becomes in the future, you must grasp one principle: tourists first. You cannot harm the tourists, otherwise, you will harm yourself in the future."

Yu Ruizhi nodded, "Don't worry about that, we will definitely treat tourists as God, because they can bring us money!"

Su Xinghui laughed heartily.

Yu Ruizhi said, "By the way, I came to find you today because I have something to ask. Can you buy me a few more cases of that 30-year-old Pengwan Daqu?"

Su Xinghui said, "No problem. Why, did you finish the two cases from last time?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Sigh, don't mention it. The two cases from last time—one was taken by my uncle, and one was given to my grandfather. I only had a few glasses with my grandfather myself. This time I need to buy a few more cases, otherwise, theirs won't be enough."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Very well, I'll get you five cases today."

Yu Ruizhi said, "I will pay for these five cases of wine today; don't argue with me, otherwise, I won't dare to come to you to buy wine next time."

Su Xinghui didn't act coy and nodded, "Very well, you pay for the wine this time."

Yu Ruizhi got into the car with Su Xinghui and went to the winery. In the car, he said, "My grandfather likes this Pengwan Daqu very much. He said he fought in Shangjun County decades ago. He asked me to bring him two more cases of wine when I go back to Jingcheng next time."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Anyway, when the old man’s wine is almost finished, just come find me, and I will help you buy it."

The two arrived at the winery, found Chen Xiangui, and bought five more cases of wine. Yu Ruizhi took out the money and paid for it, then put the wine into the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz and said goodbye to Su Xinghui, "Very well, I'm going to Menghuling and will go back to Jingcheng in a few days. Do you want to go to Jingcheng to play?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "Forget it, I have a life of toil!"

Yu Ruizhi laughed heartily, got into the car, and left.

One day, while Su Xinghui was at work, he received a phone call. This call was from Lu Zhenghong. This was the first time Lu Zhenghong had taken the initiative to call Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui knew that something must have happened.

Su Xinghui asked, "Uncle Lu, why did you call me? Is something the matter?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "There is indeed something, related to the expressway and Changjiangdaqiao projects in your county. You should come to the province with Comrade Kaishan as soon as possible."

Hearing Lu Zhenghong’s words, Su Xinghui didn't ask anything else. He promised to go to Jiangcheng with Zhang Kaishan as soon as possible, and Lu Zhenghong hung up the phone.

Su Xinghui immediately called Zhang Kaishan. As soon as Zhang Kaishan heard it was about the expressway and Changjiangdaqiao, he immediately raised it to the highest level of importance. Now, this matter was the top priority for Shangjun County, relating to the development plan for Shangjun County for the next few decades.

Zhang Kaishan immediately agreed to go to Jiangcheng with Su Xinghui the next morning, and Su Xinghui said he would wait for him at the Pengjiawan Town government the next morning.

After making the appointment with Zhang Kaishan, Su Xinghui called Lu Zhenghong, and Lu Zhenghong said he would wait for them in his office the next morning.

Early the next morning, Su Xinghui got up to exercise as usual. After breakfast, he waited on the side of the road outside the town government. Before long, Zhang Kaishan’s car drove over. He poked his head out and greeted Su Xinghui to get into the car.

Since Peng Qiang came to Pengjiawan Town to serve as Deputy Director of the Police Station, Zhang Kaishan’s driver had been replaced by another young man named Yan Xiangjie. He was a few years younger than Peng Qiang and was also a newly retired soldier. His driving skills were also quite good, and he didn't talk much; Zhang Kaishan just liked such young people.

After Su Xinghui got into the car, Yan Xiangjie started the car silently. Zhang Kaishan leaned back in his seat, frowned, and asked, "Did Governor Lu not say what it was about?"

Su Xinghui said, "He didn't say specifically what it was about, just that it was related to the expressway and Changjiangdaqiao."

Zhang Kaishan sighed, "Why do I feel so uneasy?"

Su Xinghui smiled, "This might be called 'caring leads to chaos.' After all, the expressway and Changjiangdaqiao are of great importance and are too important to Shangjun County."

Zhang Kaishan nodded, "That might be it. What was Governor Lu’s tone when he called? Was he happy or worried?"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "I couldn't really tell. I only talked to him for about a minute. We'll know when we get to the province later, won't we?"

Zhang Kaishan also knew that worrying was useless now, so he nodded and leaned back in his chair to close his eyes and rest. He had gotten up early in the morning and needed to rest in the car for a while so he would be energetic in front of Lu Zhenghong later.
