If I am not at the township government, there may be no place to return it. Even if I am at the township government, I can’t make too many calls. The phone bill is expensive now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Menghuling Township calling to Jiangcheng is considered a long-distance call, and the phone bill is more than one yuan per minute, which is really too expensive. Lu Xiaoya was not an unreasonable person, so she said after hearing it: \"Then I won't talk to you much today. Anyway, if I call your pager, I must have something to do with you. You are not allowed not to return the call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui agreed, and Lu Xiaoya said goodbye and hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Menghuling Township calling to the county seat is also considered a rural call, 80 cents per minute, which is also quite expensive. However, some calls really can’t be avoided, so Su Xinghui called Zhang Cheng, told him the pager number, and asked him to tell the classmates this pager number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he called home to say something. Just as Su Xinghui was about to return to his room, he thought about it and called Xue Qin’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xue Qin received Su Xinghui’s call and knew that he had a new pager and was specifically telling her the pager number, she was surprised and happy. She said to Su Xinghui: \"I always call your phone and can’t find anyone. I won’t be afraid of not finding you in the future. You must return it when I call your pager in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui quickly talked to Xue Qin about the phone bill again, and Xue Qin also understood and said: \"Okay, I won’t call your pager as much as possible if I have nothing to do in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the Party and Government Office, Su Xinghui saw Peng Kehong standing in the corridor sneakily at a glance. Seeing him come out, Peng Kehong smiled at him reluctantly, then flashed upstairs and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Kehong’s appearance made Su Xinghui feel disgusted. He shook his head and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After entering November, Su Xinghui became busy because this season was the season when the seeds of rare plants such as Eucommia, Magnolia, southern yew, and dove tree matured. Luo Ping and Huang Chuanyong, the two botanists, and their students went to various villages to guide the villagers to collect seeds and prepare for seedling cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui naturally had to run with them. The afforestation projects of these tree species were very important and related to the stable income of many villagers for decades to come. This must be implemented, and these projects were all applied for national special funds, and Su Xinghui also bore the heavy responsibility of auditing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haimin and Xu Xiaoguang came to Menghuling together, bringing their engineering team. They were preparing to start construction on this secondary highway from Shangjun County to Menghuling in the near future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Xu family’s engineering team, Su Xinghui saw an acquaintance, Lu Dawang. Only then did Su Xinghui know that Lu Dawang was working in the Xu family’s engineering team. He shouted in surprise: \"Brother Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoguang asked strangely: \"Xinghui, do you know Lu Dawang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui didn't want to say that Lu Dawang had drunk pesticide, so he said to Xu Xiaoguang: \"Yes, his family lives not far from the township government. I even bought vegetables from his mother’s hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang cast a grateful glance at Su Xinghui and said stutteringly: \"Director Su, thank you for taking care of my mother’s business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui knew that Lu Dawang was actually thanking him for saving his life, but he naturally wouldn't break it. He laughed: \"You’re welcome, buying from anyone is buying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang said: \"Director Su, two Boss Xus, why don’t you have a simple meal at my house at noon today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haimin said: \"Is this necessary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang said: \"Director Su has taken care of my family a lot, and the two Boss Xus have also been very good to me. Have a meal at my house at noon today as my thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Dawang’s sincerity, Su Xinghui nodded: \"Uncle Xu, Xiaoguang, let’s have lunch at his house. I’ll go buy vegetables.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haimin and Xu Xiaoguang both nodded and agreed. Lu Dawang was overjoyed: \"Director Su, you are distinguished guests, how can I let you buy vegetables? Others will say we don’t know etiquette. You go to my house and sit, I’ll go buy vegetables.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang took the three to his house. When Lu’s father and mother saw Su Xinghui coming, they were very happy. Taking advantage of Xu Haimin and Xu Xiaoguang’s inattention, Su Xinghui told them not to say that Lu Dawang had drunk pesticide, and both old people nodded and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang let the three sit in the main room, poured water for the three, and then ran out to buy vegetables like a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father and mother didn't know what to say. It was Su Xinghui who broke the silence. He asked with a smile: \"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, how is life at home now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father sighed and said: \"Alas, it’s good enough to be full. This year, Wang Yazi went to the county to work, and he could still send some money back, but he has many children, so this money is not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui knew that Lu Dawang had three daughters, all of whom were in school. Relying on the money he earned alone, it was indeed not enough. He thought for a while and asked: \"Your family should belong to Hutou Village, right? Isn't Hutou Village planting fruit now? How many mu does your family plan to plant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father said: \"Alas, the village cadres mobilized us, but I don’t know if these things will sell after spending money and effort to plant them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father’s worry was not groundless. Although the state had special fund subsidies, the planters themselves still had to invest a part. He was naturally worried that the fruit he planted wouldn't sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"Uncle Lu, don’t worry, we will organize sales to the outside world. We will also introduce food factories and beverage factories to acquire these fruits locally for processing. We will never let the fruit you plant not sell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father and mother looked at each other and nodded together: \"Director Su, we believe in you. If you say we can plant, we will plant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded repeatedly. He was moved by the trust of the two old people and also discovered a problem, that is, some village cadres had problems in the mobilization methods of the masses and needed to be improved urgently. To dispel the concerns of the masses, more detailed work must be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haimin laughed: \"Brother Lu, more and more people are coming to Menghuling from the outside. I see your house is in a good location. If you add one or two floors to open a hotel, the business will definitely be very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s house was not far from the township government, and his house was right next to the road. If it was used to open a hotel, it was indeed very suitable. Speaking of which, Menghuling Township didn't have a private hotel except for the township government’s guest house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open a hotel?\" Lu’s father said: \"Can it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"I think Uncle Xu’s suggestion is good. If your family opens a hotel, the business will definitely be good. More and more people will come to Menghuling in the future, and they all need to stay in a hotel. Think about it, can the business be bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father and mother looked at each other and were a little hesitant. Su Xinghui said: \"Think about it, factories will be opened here in the future, and people will come to buy fruit, game, and medicinal herbs. When these people come, it’s impossible for them to come and go on the same day, right? So they have to stay in a hotel, right? Are you still afraid of having no business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father said: \"But if we add one or two floors, where do we have the money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"You can take out a loan. Don’t worry, I am willing to be your guarantor when you take out a loan from the credit union.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father and mother really trusted Su Xinghui. Hearing Su Xinghui say it so firmly, they were really moved, but they naturally had to consider it. After all, this matter was too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang returned. He bought some fish, meat, and vegetables. There were also eggs and some green vegetables at home, which he handed over to his wife to tidy up. Then he sat down in the main room with Xu Haimin’s father and son and Su Xinghui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu’s father asked about Lu Dawang’s performance in the city. Xu Haimin laughed: \"Brother, Dawang is doing very well in my engineering team. He is a good mason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Dawang said: \"My father is the best mason in Menghuling, but now his health is not good, so he doesn’t do this line of work, so I took over my father’s class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haimin said: \"No wonder. Work hard and strive to be an engineering team captain in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1587,"2026-06-16T17:50:40.887Z","2026-06-16T17:54:29.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f71cc965e9606743d8debe081e5e6991103824aae9202d62e801423fd1d8782f","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-82","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-80",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
