Chapter 891: Mayor, why are you stuttering?

~5 min read 824 words

Although Ge Honglin was arrogant and his tone was unkind, Su Xinghui didn't get angry, and his expression didn't even change. He nodded with a smile. "Right, I am Su Xinghui."

Ge Honglin said sternly, "Then what are you here for? This floor was booked by our Jiangcheng Municipal Government. You, a cadre from the county, coming here doesn't seem very appropriate, right? Please leave here."

Hou Dali's face changed upon hearing this, and he was about to speak, but Hou Guangbi grabbed his hand and stopped him. Hou Guangbi looked at Su Xinghui with a smile, clearly wanting to see how he would deal with Ge Honglin.

The Hou family indeed had money. Since the country valued investors so much now and was so eager for foreign investment, it was not impossible for him to invest in the country. However, the essence of capital was profit-seeking, and it was impossible to invest funds in Shangjun County solely based on Su Xinghui's favor to the Hou family.

Shangjun County was the Hou family's hometown. Now Hou Guangbi wanted to use Su Xinghui's level to see the level of Shangjun County's officials. Whether a place had development prospects was quite related to the level of its officials.

Now, the status and status of Ge Honglin and Su Xinghui could be called a world of difference. This kind of time was the most testing of a person's talent and character. Hou Guangbi naturally wanted to see how Su Xinghui would deal with Ge Honglin.

If Su Xinghui couldn't handle it, Hou Guangbi would naturally step in to help him out, but he might not value Su Xinghui as much in the future. Repaying favors was one thing, but investment was another matter.

Su Xinghui said, "Mayor Ge, isn't what you said a bit inappropriate? Elder Hou is a guest I invited, and he is also a person from our Shangjun County. People from our Shangjun County have been waiting for Elder Hou all noon, so how did he get picked up here by your Jiangcheng Municipal Government?"

When Su Xinghui spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and even had a smile on his face the whole time, as if the person talking to him wasn't a Vice Mayor of Jiangcheng whose status was much higher than his, but someone of equal status. It was this smile that angered Ge Honglin.

Although Ge Honglin was angry, the Hou family was in the room, so he couldn't fly into a rage. He suppressed his temper and said, "Comrade Su Xinghui, please pay attention to your status, don't lose face in front of Elder Hou."

Su Xinghui said, "Comrade Ge Honglin, I think what's truly losing face is the people from your Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office, right? Isn't their style of investment promotion always like this? Are they used to snatching investors from the cities and counties below? This is truly losing face in front of Elder Hou. Let me ask you, you invited Elder Hou here, did Elder Hou agree?"

Ge Honglin was so angry that he was almost out of his mind. He pointed at Su Xinghui with his finger and said, "You, you, you..."

Ge Honglin "you"-ed for a long time without saying anything. Su Xinghui said with a smile, "Comrade Ge Honglin, you weren't stuttering when you were lecturing people just now, why are you suddenly stuttering now? Do you want to drink some water?"

Lu Xiaoya beside him let out a "pfft" laugh. Ge Honglin only felt the world go black, and his feet swayed. Cheng Han beside him hurriedly supported him.

Everyone's expression changed in horror, looking at Su Xinghui. Even Zhang Chenxi was no exception. He knew Su Xinghui was bold, but he didn't expect his boldness to reach such a point. A section-level cadre actually pointed at a department-level cadre and spoke to him like this, simply pointing out his mistakes directly.

In the Chinese officialdom, the hierarchy was strict. Not to mention such a large gap in rank, even the difference between a secretary and a town mayor of the same section level was huge. No one expected Su Xinghui to dare to speak to Ge Honglin like this.

And precisely because no one expected it, the group of people behind Ge Honglin collectively lost their voices. They didn't know what to say. Just as Ge Honglin was so angry that his eyes went black, everyone hurriedly came up and supported Ge Honglin to sit on a sofa.

Ge Honglin spent a long time calming down before he felt a little better. He knew his blood pressure was a bit high and he couldn't get angry. He warned himself, "Suppress anger, suppress anger." However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Su Xinghui standing in front of him with a cup of water with a smile and said, "Mayor Ge, drink some water!" ===== CHAPTER 893 =====
