Chapter 72

On Monday morning, Yao Xuexin drove to the county town to pick up Chen Hongfu. Su Xinghui also took Chen Hongfu's car back to Menghuling. On the way, Chen Hongfu told Su Xinghui that he would make a few more trips to Yezhugou these days and put more effort into it to prepare for County Magistrate Zhang's visit to Menghuling.

Returning to the township government, Dong Jianshu officially announced the decision to appoint Su Xinghui as the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office of Menghuling Township Government. He talked to Su Xinghui for a while, saying that Su Xinghui's main work during this period was still to contact the Yezhugou Village Committee and continue to do a good job in the breeding farm and bamboo weaving factory.

Returning to the Party and Government Office, the people in the Party and Government Office expressed their congratulations to Su Xinghui again. What made Su Xinghui have to admire was Peng Kehong. It seemed that he had adjusted his mentality after a Sunday. When he expressed his congratulations to Su Xinghui, he had a sincere smile on his face, as if he was sincerely congratulating Su Xinghui.

If Su Xinghui didn't know Peng Kehong's character, he would have been deceived by him at this time. This made him feel emotional in his heart. If this Peng Kehong went to be an actor and didn't get a title like Best Actor, it would really be a waste of this acting skill.

The colleagues in the Party and Government Office all booed and asked Su Xinghui to treat them, especially Peng Kehong, who shouted the most vigorously. Wei Bingyi watched with a smile on the side and didn't speak. Su Xinghui had no choice but to agree to treat everyone to a meal at Zhang Pangzi's restaurant in the evening. Everyone cheered and returned to their respective posts with satisfaction.

Wei Bingyi told Su Xinghui about his work arrangements. He said that Su Xinghui had a good writing style, so the reports and documents of the Party and Government Office would be reviewed by him in the future. Logistics and reception would also be managed by him, and the work of organizing some cultural and sports activities would also be his responsibility. Wei Bingyi said he was old and couldn't handle these things.

It should be said that Wei Bingyi was still a kind person. He let Su Xinghui manage logistics and reception, which was a relatively lucrative job in the Party and Government Office.

However, Wei Bingyi also said that the township now let Su Xinghui mainly contact the Yezhugou Village Committee, so when he was not there, Wei Bingyi would still help him manage these jobs. After the work in Yezhugou came to an end, these jobs would be officially managed by him.

For this, Su Xinghui also sincerely thanked Wei Bingyi. Wei Bingyi just waved his hand and said that he was already over fifty years old, and his task was to help young people like Su Xinghui check the gate.

In the evening, everyone in the Party and Government Office, including Wei Bingyi, went to Zhang Pangzi's restaurant. Su Xinghui shouted, "Old Zhang, set up a table for us, and serve whatever good dishes you have."

Zhang Pangzi was well-informed. He had long known that Su Xinghui had become the Deputy Director of the Township Party and Government Office, and also knew that the logistics and reception would be managed by Su Xinghui in the future. He naturally didn't dare to neglect and answered "Alright", and then started stir-frying dishes in full swing.

Zhang Pangzi's wife nimbly tidied up the table in the "private room", set up bowls, chopsticks, and tea, and let them sit down.

Including Wei Bingyi and Su Xinghui, the director and deputy director, there were only seven people in the Party and Government Office, and all of them were present today. Except for Wei Bingyi and the driver Yao Xuexin, only Zeng Xianglin was married. He was in his forties this year and was an old veteran in the Party and Government Office. However, he had been punished for having children beyond the quota before, so it was impossible for him to be promoted, and he himself had no ambition.

The other three, Peng Kehong, Fu Bo, and Wang Wenjing, were young people who were not married yet. Peng Kehong and the girl Wang Wenjing were locals of Menghuling, and Fu Bo was from the neighboring Green Ridge Township. Fu Bo and Wang Wenjing were both high school graduates, and they were all temporary workers.

Entering the private room, Zeng Xianglin shouted loudly to play "Tractor". Tractor was a local card game, two decks of cards, four people, which could be upgraded or not upgraded. Upgrading was generally just for entertainment, and not upgrading was calling seven, which was generally gambling. Zeng Xianglin had no pursuit in his official career, usually liked playing cards, and couldn't play mahjong here, so he could only play this.

Zeng Xianglin shouted, "Come, play Tractor, the loser drinks."

Wei Bingyi just watched with a smile. Anyway, he wouldn't participate in this kind of card game. He was over fifty and had high blood pressure, so he usually drank little.

Yao Xuexin said, "Alright, Director Su, participate in one."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I can't play cards."

Peng Kehong said, "No, how can a new official not participate in the activities of the masses? Isn't this separating from the masses? Director Su must participate."

Su Xinghui saw through Peng Kehong's thoughts. He knew that Su Xinghui didn't usually play cards, so his level must not be very good. And his level of playing Tractor was famous. He wanted to make Su Xinghui drink more, maybe he would drink too much, which could be considered making Su Xinghui make a fool of himself.

Peng Kehong didn't know that in his previous life, Su Xinghui was also proficient in various card skills. With Su Xinghui's intelligence, what couldn't he play? If Su Xinghui really participated, the possibility of him making a fool of himself would be greater.

However, since his rebirth, Su Xinghui had set a principle: don't play cards. Playing cards was too much of a waste of ambition, and it was easy to be used by others, or even attacked by others. This was not a good thing. Since he was reborn, he couldn't waste time on such things.

Therefore, Su Xinghui shook his head gently and firmly, "Sorry, I really can't play cards. Don't you have four people?"

Peng Kehong was still shouting, "No, it's boring if you don't participate. Everyone came to congratulate you today."
