The county road from the county seat to Menghuling was more than thirty kilometers long, requiring nearly one million in funds. Such a large expense could not be squeezed out now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Guozhi proposed two solutions. The first was to wait until the beginning of next year, when the county formulated next year’s budget plan, and list this fund in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second solution was that the county squeezed out a portion of road repair funds, about half of the required funds, and the other half could only be asked for help from superiors. He also hinted to Zhang Kaishan that he could ask the Provincial Department of Transportation for help. It was only a few hundred thousand, and it leaked out of the little finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhang Kaishan heard it, he knew this was a test of him by Shan Guozhi and Xu Liangxi. Since the provincial newspaper reprinted that report, it showed that you, Zhang Kaishan, had roots in the province, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a few hundred thousand back, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangjun County could not be considered a poor county, but it could definitely not be called wealthy. For a county like this, it would always rack its brains to ask for appropriations from the province and city under various names. Of course, the appropriations from superiors were not so easy to ask for, and those who could ask for appropriations were capable people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Hongshan County, a neighboring county of Shangjun County, there was a deputy county magistrate who could ask for millions of poverty alleviation funds every year. His life in Hongshan County was quite moist. Sometimes, his prestige was not lower than that of the County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate. Everyone knew that Hongshan County had a County Magistrate Cao who could ask for millions from the province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without these millions of poverty alleviation funds, the wages and bonuses of many cadres in Hongshan County would have no place to fall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan knew that this was a test of him and a challenge. Although there were two plans to choose from, the only one he could choose was the second one, which was to ask for appropriations. If he asked for appropriations, his life in the future would be much better, and it could even be said to be a vast sea and sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he couldn't ask for it, his life would be very difficult, and even the road he promised to repair next year would become remote. Where could such a thing without a fixed board count? His prestige in the county would also drop greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, the current Zhang Kaishan was that donkey of Guizhou. The tiger didn't understand his background yet. If he could show powerful strength, the tiger would be completely scared by him, but if he only knew how to talk, the tiger would have no scruples about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan certainly didn't reply to Shan Guozhi immediately. He had no bottom in his heart. What kind of roots could he have in the province? If he really had roots, he wouldn't be a deputy county magistrate now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now hearing Chen Hongfu ask, Zhang Kaishan said, \"I have reported the matter of repairing the road for Menghuling to the county. The county has agreed in principle, but it may take some time to go through the procedures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu was overjoyed and said, \"Then let’s make some preparations first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan hesitated and said, \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan was prepared to sort out all his connections to see if he could ask for an appropriation. In fact, it didn't have to be half of the total. Asking for one or two hundred thousand should be enough to show some energy, and it should be possible to facilitate the reconstruction of this road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really couldn't ask for it, then at least there was a plan to include it in the budget next year, which could be considered an explanation to Menghuling Township.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhang Kaishan felt a bit desolate in his heart. He was not optimistic about whether he could ask for appropriations. He said in his heart, why is it so difficult to do some practical things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu sat for a while, said some idle words, and then got up to say goodbye. This time, Zhang Kaishan still kept Su Xinghui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chen Hongfu went out, Zhang Kaishan let Su Xinghui enter the study with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Kaishan’s expression, Su Xinghui estimated that the road repair was not so smooth, but he was naturally calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan took a sip of tea and smiled at Su Xinghui, \"Xinghui, you are doing very well in Menghuling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"It’s also my good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan certainly wouldn't think that Su Xinghui was just lucky. The few things he did—vision, knowledge, ability, connections, and luck—were all indispensable, which made him very optimistic about Su Xinghui’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also had some guesses. Was it Su Xinghui’s connections that played a role in the report being reprinted by the provincial newspaper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guess sounded a bit unbelievable at first. Zhang Kaishan knew Su Xinghui’s family background very well. Although Su Wenjun was from Jiangcheng, his hometown was in the suburbs, and he had no background. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been an ordinary doctor all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Xinghui had studied in the provincial capital for four years, and it was hard to say what new connections he had in these four years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like his smooth path-finding in the provincial capital this time, and those experts helping him so much, was it that simple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the matter of the provincial newspaper reprinting the report, if it was explained by coincidence alone, it was too coincidental, right?\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-16T17:50:40.887Z","2026-06-16T17:54:29.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d9ee6495dba6319dc4912d2606bce7f05734f3cc604f171ef7e4c82cdcc14e16","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-62","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-60",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
