Chapter 62: An Article

Zhang Kaishan said, "You are too humble. I sometimes find it strange. You and Zhang Cheng are classmates, so why are you so steady, while he is a bit boisterous?"

Su Xinghui smiled, "Everyone has a different personality. Zhang Cheng also has things worth learning from."

Zhang Kaishan smiled, hesitated, and then said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, actually, the road repair is not so smooth."

Zhang Kaishan didn't know how he said this to Su Xinghui, but since he said it, he told Su Xinghui the two plans that County Magistrate Shan Guozhi told him, and then asked, "Xinghui, which plan do you think should be chosen?"

Su Xinghui listened to Zhang Kaishan speaking, and his brain turned rapidly. He was quite clear about the relationship between County Magistrate Shan Guozhi, Deputy County Magistrate in charge of transportation Xu Liangxi, and Zhang Kaishan. After all, he was a reborn person.

As soon as he heard the two plans Shan Guozhi said, Su Xinghui knew what Shan Guozhi meant. Having mixed in the officialdom for more than twenty years, he still had this vision.

He could also understand Zhang Kaishan’s confusion. Zhang Kaishan had no backing in the province, so how easy was it to go to the province to ask for appropriations? But he inevitably couldn't refuse, otherwise, he would expose his own shortcomings.

Zhang Kaishan telling him this matter seemed to make no sense, but the things he had done since his rebirth, especially the matter of the provincial newspaper reprinting the report, would definitely make Zhang Kaishan suspect that he had some capable connections in the province, so it was understandable that he told him this matter.

Then, could he help Zhang Kaishan with this matter?

Whether to help Zhang Kaishan or not didn't need to be considered anymore. If he could help, he must help. Helping Zhang Kaishan was equivalent to helping himself. The question was, how to help Zhang Kaishan?

Su Xinghui didn't think he had the aura of a king, and as long as he showed his protagonist identity, others would bow down. If he wanted others to help him, he must have a place worth helping.

In the province, the only person who could help Su Xinghui with this matter was Lu Zhenghong. No one else was considered. With Lu Zhenghong’s status, helping him ask for an appropriation of a few hundred thousand was a small matter, easy as pie.

Of course, with Professor Qin Jie’s connections in Jiangcheng, perhaps he could also help him, but that was too many detours, and Professor Qin Jie didn't like to do such things. Su Xinghui wouldn't seek far for what was near.

Then, how to let Lu Zhenghong help him? Just by favor? Through his efforts during this period, his relationship with the Lu family was quite good, but Su Xinghui would never think that just because of this relationship, he could go to the door and tell Lu Zhenghong to let him open his mouth to help him ask for an appropriation of a few hundred thousand.

In that case, Lu Zhenghong would mostly think he didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth.

Relying on giving gifts? That was even more of a joke. Not to mention that Su Xinghui was not a person who gave gifts, and Lu Zhenghong was not a person who accepted gifts. Even if Lu Zhenghong accepted gifts, how much would be appropriate for an appropriation of a few hundred thousand? One hundred thousand? Buying a Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee was too cheap, right?

Taking the young lady route? Let Lu Xiaoya help lobby? This was also a very slim thing. Of course, it might be effective, but it would also be looked down upon by Lu Zhenghong, so don't even think about it next time.

Su Xinghui tried hard to recall the things that had happened these days, thinking about how to move Lu Zhenghong. After thinking for a while, he had a clearer train of thought in his mind.

Now he could basically be sure that the report reprinted by the provincial newspaper should be the help of Lu Zhenghong. Then, the editor’s note added to that report was very intriguing.

In that editor’s note, the concept of agricultural industrialization was highly praised. Did this mean that Lu Zhenghong and the Provincial Party Secretary Gu Shanmin behind him had the idea of developing Hudong Province’s agriculture?

Su Xinghui tried hard to recall some of Gu Shanmin’s situations. It should be said that Gu Shanmin was a relatively accomplished Provincial Party Secretary in the history of Hudong Province. During his tenure, Hudong Province’s economic development was relatively fast, and people’s income increased relatively large, especially the development of rural areas was quite fast.

Hudong Province was a major agricultural province, which was to become a strong agricultural province in the next ten years or so. It could be said that Hudong Province had always ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the country in economic construction later, and Gu Shanmin had made indelible contributions.

The concept of agricultural industrialization was proposed at the end of this year in his previous life. Now that the "Hudong Daily" had reprinted that report, Su Xinghui had become the person who proposed this concept, so he had to make a big fuss about this concept.

If he deeply expounded the concept of agricultural industrialization in front of Lu Zhenghong, it would certainly be able to make Lu Zhenghong interested. Then, if agricultural industrialization was to be piloted, of course, there was no place more suitable than Menghuling. Wouldn't it be logical to pull it to the matter of road repair by then?

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui said to Zhang Kaishan, "Uncle Zhang, do you have time after the Mid-Autumn Festival? I will go to Jiangcheng with you!"

Zhang Kaishan was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Su Xinghui was a steady person, and he wouldn't go to Jiangcheng with him without relatively large certainty.

Zhang Kaishan nodded, "Okay, I will go with you."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Zhang, prepare some of your insights and experiences in agricultural work in these two days, focusing on the agricultural industrialization mentioned in that report. It might be used by then."

Zhang Kaishan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I will prepare in these two days, and I will discuss the issue of agricultural industrialization with you again by then."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, then I will go back first. I also have to prepare and write something."

At this time, Zhang Kaishan was very happy. He got up and personally sent Su Xinghui out of the door. Before going out, Su Xinghui told Zhang Cheng to eat together tomorrow night and call Xu Xiaoguang and Wu Jun. Zhang Cheng agreed.

Su Xinghui went out of the government compound and saw Chen Hongfu at a glance. He hadn't left yet, and there were already many cigarette butts at his feet.

Seeing Su Xinghui come out, Chen Hongfu quickly threw a cigarette to the ground and stepped on it, then asked, "Little Su, what did County Magistrate Zhang say to you? Did he say when that road can start to be repaired?"

Su Xinghui said, "It shouldn't be too long. By the way, Secretary Chen, County Magistrate Zhang said that he would take me to the provincial capital together after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it might take two or three days."

Chen Hongfu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, then you go, you can stay for a few days."

Returning home, Su Xinghui spread out the material paper on the desk in his room and began to write an article. At this time, he began to miss the computer. In his previous life, he was used to typing on the keyboard when writing anything. Writing things on material paper was a very distant memory.

However, he certainly didn't have a computer now, so he could only honestly write with a pen.

He was writing an article deeply expounding agricultural industrialization, combining the actual situation of Menghuling Township, expounding how to implement agricultural industrialization in rural areas, develop rural economy, and increase farmers’ income.

Because he had very deep thinking about this issue in his previous life, and he had been running around with experts these days, he knew the situation of Menghuling Township very well, so he wrote this article very smoothly, and it could be said that it was done in one go without adding a point.

It only took about two hours for him to write this article. He was ready to take it to Jiangcheng and combine it with the experts’ inspection report to make some modifications.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Xinghui called Professor Rao, both to wish him a happy festival and to make an appointment to visit the professors at the Agricultural University on the morning of the 12th, and by the way, to get the inspection report from them.

After making an appointment with Professor Rao, Su Xinghui also called Professor Qin Jie, wishing him a happy festival, and saying that he would go to Jiangcheng on the 12th and would visit him if he had time. Professor Qin Jie was also very happy and welcomed him to go.

At noon this day, Su Xingyun’s family all came back to celebrate the festival. Su Xinghui helped his mother make a table of rich dishes, and the family spent a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the meal, Tan Mingcheng also mentioned the report about Menghuling, praising Su Xinghui for doing well below.

After lunch, Su Xingyun’s family went to Tan Mingcheng’s house. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they had to take care of both families, which was very normal.

Su Xinghui played chess with his father at home for half a day. When it was almost five o'clock, Xue Qin came. She came to invite Su Xinghui to dinner. Su Xinghui had already promised her, so he told his parents and went out with her.

Guo Suhua was quite happy to see her son go out to dinner with Xue Qin. She really liked this girl Xue Qin.

Just as the two went downstairs, they saw Zhang Cheng, Xu Xiaoguang, and Wu Jun coming toward them. Zhang Cheng smiled, "What a coincidence, we met you here. Let’s go, let’s go eat."

Xue Qin’s intention was to eat with Su Xinghui alone, but meeting the three of them, she knew that it was impossible to eat with Su Xinghui alone tonight no matter what, which made her a bit disappointed, but she certainly wouldn't show it.

So, several people went to Shangjun Hotel together. Xue Qin said she would treat Su Xinghui to dinner today. Xu Xiaoguang argued with her, but couldn't beat her, so he let her go.

Xue Qin also ordered many hard dishes, clearly very sincere. Among girls, she was quite generous, but she was in the Tax Bureau, and the benefits were good, and she didn't have any place to spend money, so she was certainly much richer than Su Xinghui.

Xu Xiaoguang smiled, "Beauty Xue, what good things happened today? You have to treat Su Xinghui to dinner."

Xue Qin was not a very pretentious person. Since it was already like this, she let go of her heart and was not unhappy. She smiled and said, "Of course there are good things. Haven't you read the 'Yulin Daily' and 'Hudong Daily' these few days?"

This really asked Xu Xiaoguang. He was just a builder now, so why would he read party newspapers when he had nothing to do? He quickly asked, "What is going on? What good news is in the newspaper?"
