Chapter 562

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Yu, these are things that were already in my heart; I just put them on paper. How could it not be fast?"

Yu Yan'an said impatiently, "Hurry and let me see."

Su Xinghui took the article out of his bag and handed it to Yu Yan'an. Yu Yan'an read it seriously. He read it very carefully, and after finishing, he slapped the desk hard and said, "Good, well written!"

Su Xinghui said modestly with a smile, "Uncle Yu, you flatter me!"

Yu Yan'an said, "Not at all. Every word in this article is a gem. This handwriting is also excellent. You copied this over, didn't you?"

Su Xinghui smiled, "Uncle Yu, I actually didn't copy it. This is the original draft."

Yu Yan'an was shocked and flipped through the article again. He asked once more, "Is this really the original draft?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes."

Yu Yan'an said, "In this article of yours, I can't find a single typo. If the font weren't different from the Song typeface, it would look just like it was printed—so neat and tidy."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm used to it."

Yu Yan'an nodded, "That's a good habit."

Yu Yan'an read through the pages of material again, looked up at Su Xinghui, and said, "Alright, I will help you get this article published in the Internal Reference."

Su Xinghui stood up and said, "Uncle Yu, then thank you. I'll be going!"

Yu Yan'an said, "Why don't you stay for dinner this afternoon?"

Su Xinghui said, "Thank you, Uncle Yu, but I have some things to do this afternoon. Besides, it's not even mealtime yet, is it?"

Yu Yan'an looked and saw it was only past two o'clock; it was indeed not mealtime. He stood up with a smile and said, "Alright, go handle your business then."

After Su Xinghui came out, he saw Yu Ruizhi talking to Fan Xinyun.

Yu Ruizhi said to Su Xinghui, "Finished? Leaving now?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, I have some things to do this afternoon. Why don't you stay at home? I'll go to the hotel by myself."

Yu Ruizhi quickly said, "No, no. Mom, I'll take Xinghui back to the hotel first. I'll come back to keep you company next time."

Before Fan Xinyun could speak, Yu Ruizhi pulled Su Xinghui and left.

Downstairs, Su Xinghui smiled, "Brother Yu, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Yu Ruizhi shook his head, "My mom is too long-winded. You didn't hear it while you were in the study with my dad. She went on and on until I was dizzy. If I stayed at home any longer, I suspect I would have fainted."

Su Xinghui said, "You're exaggerating too much. By the way, what did your mom say to you?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "What else? She was saying that I, as a brother, haven't put my sister's marriage on my heart. She said she's already twenty-three and still doesn't have a partner, and told me to show some concern."

Su Xinghui said, "Then you should show some concern for Ruoqiu."

Yu Ruizhi shook his head, "I really can't do anything about this. It's not that I don't want to care about her, but she doesn't like anyone. You know it too—other than with us, she's cold as ice to any man she's with. She doesn't even have a smile. How can she talk about finding a partner?"

Su Xinghui asked, "You have so many buddies. Isn't there one who's suitable?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "How could any of my buddies be suitable? Every single one of them is pushing thirty at the youngest. Besides, they are all too rowdy; they aren't the type Ruoqiu likes."

Su Xinghui asked, "Then what type does Ruoqiu like? Should I help ask around?"

Yu Ruizhi looked at Su Xinghui with a strange expression, wanting to say something but stopping. Finally, he sighed and said, "I don't know what type she likes either. Forget it, let it be up to fate. Don't worry about it; one day she will find the right person."

Su Xinghui could only nod and stop talking about this topic.

That night, Su Xinghui called Zhang Kaishan and said, "Uncle Zhang, when can the city send people over? It needs to be as soon as possible. This time I've cleared all the connections. If they come quickly, it's possible to finalize this project before the New Year."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Kaishan sighed and said, "Xinghui, something happened in the county."

Su Xinghui was startled, "What? What happened in the county?"

Zhang Kaishan said, "It's County Magistrate Jia who's in trouble."

Su Xinghui asked, "What kind of trouble could County Magistrate Jia be in? When did it happen?"

Zhang Kaishan sighed, "Sigh, just the night before last. I don't know how it happened, but County Magistrate Jia's wife suddenly rushed from Yulin to Shangjun County. In the middle of the night, she ran to the commercial street and, with people in tow, blocked County Magistrate Jia and Shu Rong inside Shu Rong's clothing store. It caused a huge commotion throughout Shangjun County."

Jia Hequn's wife blocked Jia Hequn and Shu Rong in her clothing store? That was quite a scene. But her intelligence was so accurate—someone must have tipped her off. Who could it be? Several names flashed through Su Xinghui's mind, but he had no leads.

Jia Hequn's relationship with Shu Rong was no secret in the county. Theoretically, he was quite cautious; he always went at night and covered his face with his collar. But could covering his face with a collar fool those with ulterior motives?

Jia Hequn's wife, Feng Yinan, was the daughter of the former regional party secretary and director of the People's Congress, Feng Beifang. She worked in the Organization Department of Yulin City. Jia Hequn's ability to become a division-level cadre was inseparable from Feng Beifang's help. Therefore, in the Jia family, Jia Hequn was absolutely the weaker party and had no say.

Feng Yinan was quite good-looking when she was young, but now, past forty, she had a "dynamite pack" on her back and a "swimming ring" around her waist, her face full of fat. She wasn't gentle with Jia Hequn at all; it would be a miracle if Jia Hequn liked her.

When Jia Hequn came to Shangjun County to take office, Feng Yinan thought the conditions in Shangjun County were poor and didn't want to move. This allowed Jia Hequn to breathe a long sigh of relief—the sky had cleared!

Away from Feng Yinan's clutches, Jia Hequn accidentally met Shu Rong and was immediately struck by her beauty. They hit it off instantly, and he became hopelessly addicted to the comfort of her embrace.
