Chapter 826

Su Xinghui had a senior brother from Jiangcheng who remembered seeing a few reports about Su Xinghui in the 'Hudong Daily', so he asked, "Have you been in the 'Hudong Daily'?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I have indeed been in it a few times."

That senior brother said, "It really is you. Then you are truly capable; no wonder you became a town mayor at such a young age."

He recounted the content of those reports about Su Xinghui, which made the senior brothers and sisters sigh in admiration. Some who were pursuing official careers knew what it meant to be a town mayor at such a young age—this is a young man with a limitless future.

These senior brothers and sisters exchanged contact information with Su Xinghui and enthusiastically told him that if he went to the cities where they worked in the future, he must call them to have a good get-together. Su Xinghui naturally exchanged contact information with them one by one and promised to call them when the time came.

These people, being able to become leaders in their respective fields, naturally understood the benefits of connections. Su Xinghui being able to become a town mayor at such a young age meant he would likely have a limitless future. Exchanging contact information with him was a cost-effective thing to do, so why not?

If Su Xinghui really made something of himself in the future, it would naturally deepen their connections. If Su Xinghui didn't achieve much, then when he came knocking, they could just brush him off.

These people came to celebrate Professor Qin's birthday, naturally out of respect for their teacher, but also with the intention of making connections. Professor Qin is a titan in the Jiangcheng academic circle, with students all over the world and deep connections. Those who came to attend this birthday banquet were all incredible big shots; how could they not attend?

Just as everyone was chatting with each other, the birthday banquet was about to begin. The waiters started serving dishes. Professor Qin sat happily at the head table, accompanied by relevant leaders from the Provincial Department of Education and Jiangcheng University. Given Professor Qin's status, receiving such treatment was a matter of course.

Before the banquet began, leaders from the Department of Education and Jiangcheng University delivered speeches one after another, highly praising Professor Qin's academic achievements and his contributions to the cause of education.

After the leaders' speeches, the banquet began. This lively birthday banquet made Professor Qin very happy. After experiencing such hardships, how could he have imagined that he would have today's glory?

After attending Professor Qin's birthday banquet, Su Xinghui said goodbye to Professor Qin and his children, greeted the senior brothers, sisters, and classmates one by one, and left the hotel.

Min Tong chased after him and said, "Xinghui, are you going back to Pengjiawan this afternoon?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, what about you?"

Min Tong said, "I'm going back to Meng Hu Ling this afternoon too. Why don't you ride in my car later?"

Su Xinghui glanced at Chen Xiaomeng behind him and smiled, "Are you willing to leave Xiaomeng?"

Min Tong said, "How could I be willing? But there's something at the factory, and they called to urge me this morning."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, this is an attitude of putting career first. When you are successful in your career, you can transfer her to be with you, and the two of you can be together for a long time."

Min Tong shook his head and said, "Don't even mention it. I told her that she could quit that job and go to Meng Hu Ling with me, but she just wouldn't; she insisted on working."

Su Xinghui said, "You must not be like this. You need a career, but Xiaomeng also needs a career. If you let her follow you to Meng Hu Ling, what can she do? Be with you every day? Play mahjong every day? Watch TV every day? Let me tell you, women who have nothing to do will cause trouble. You should let her work, and you should work harder yourself and run to Jiangcheng more often."

Min Tong thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense. It seems I'm the only one who has to run more."

Su Xinghui said, "Then you should take Xiaomeng home first. I'll walk around near her house with Xiaoya, and we'll meet at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee compound at five o'clock sharp. If I don't see you, I'll call you again."

Min Tong nodded. He turned to Chen Xiaomeng, who was talking to Lu Xiaoya, and said, "Xiaomeng, I'll take you home first."

Chen Xiaomeng nodded in agreement, then said a few words to Lu Xiaoya, got into Min Tong's car, and left.

Su Xinghui took Lu Xiaoya's hand and said, "Xiaoya, I'm going back in Min Tong's car today. We agreed to meet at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee compound at five o'clock sharp. We can walk around near your house now."

Lu Xiaoya checked the time; it was only twelve-thirty. She nodded happily and said, "That's great, then we can stay together for the whole afternoon."

The two got into a taxi and returned to the street they often walked along next to the Provincial Party Committee compound. This street is close to Lu Xiaoya's house, so they can stay for the afternoon. When it's close to five o'clock, Su Xinghui can send Lu Xiaoya home.
