Family connections: From special recruitment by the county committee to the pinnacle of power

Swish!

Jiang Qinghua immediately turned to look at Gu Chenglong. Even he hadn't expected Gu Chenglong to suddenly appear at this moment.

Originally, as long as Zhang Juan had no objections, the selection of personnel for the secretariat of the county government office could have been finalized.

Excluding Xu Hansheng was to prevent him from getting involved in investment promotion work again, and to stop him from showing off his connections to the leaders.

Even reports are a form of facial recognition.

No matter how insignificant Xu Hansheng described his role in his report, Qi Hongchang was not one to tolerate any dissent.

So many people couldn't get things done before, does that mean the Investment Promotion Agency wasn't doing its job?

Or is it that the head of the secretariat is not taking it seriously?

That's impossible!

There's only one answer: Xu Hansheng's personal work ability is too strong!

Jiang Qinghua only wanted to block Xu Hansheng's momentum.

Furthermore, Gu Chenglong has some connections with both Xu Changqing and Li Qiang, so he shouldn't say anything detrimental to Li Qiang at this time.

But he was wrong!

At this moment, Gu Chenglong's only motivation was to get revenge on Li Qiang and absolutely not let him join the crew.

"County Chief Lin, Director Fu, I don't need to elaborate on why Director Xu was transferred to manage logistics. Both are liaison work, so why is Comrade Xu Hansheng able to handle things so well? While Section Chief Li and Director Xu, every time they go to make liaisons, they are either left waiting at the door without being able to see their supervisors, or they anger the senior executives of Tiancheng Holdings, causing man-made trouble for our county's investment promotion work every time!"

"To put it bluntly, bringing Section Chief Li into the group is like creating difficulties where none exist."

"I don't dislike Section Chief Li, nor do I have any prejudice against him. However, Secretary Qi has repeatedly emphasized the importance of investment promotion. Shouldn't we consider more factors when selecting personnel? If Section Chief Li's inappropriate words or actions cause a project that has already entered the negotiation stage to be suddenly terminated, I would like to ask, who will bear this responsibility!"

After Gu Chenglong finished speaking, he slowly leaned back in his chair and turned to look at Jiang Qinghua.

The implication is that if another mishap occurs, everyone present, including County Chief Lin and you, Jiang Qinghua, will have no way to explain it to Secretary Qi!

The first time, Xu Changqing and Li Qiang ruined the plan, which can be attributed to poor personnel management.

But if Li Qiang ruins things again, it would be intentionally going against Secretary Qi!

Even Lin Hanlong couldn't bear such a huge burden.

Jiang Dongsheng, the director of the planning bureau standing next to him, nodded and said, "I think Director Gu's analysis makes a lot of sense. Although Comrade Li Qiang is conscientious in his work, his ability to negotiate investment promotion is still questionable. I also do not agree with having him lead the secretariat and the comrades in charge of this area to carry out the next round of negotiations."

It wasn't that Jiang Dongsheng had a problem with Li Qiang, but rather that all the departments involved in the project shared responsibility, and if things went wrong, everyone would be implicated.

No one would risk their political future for Li Qiang.

For a time, all the leaders of the Land Bureau, the Finance Bureau, and the Investment Promotion Bureau unanimously refuted Jiang Qinghua's opinion.

Now, even Jiang Qinghua was somewhat embarrassed.

If one or two people think his suggestion is problematic, they can argue against it. But if everyone thinks it's problematic, then there's something wrong with him as a person.

Thinking of this, before Lin Hanlong could speak, Jiang Qinghua hurriedly admitted his mistake, saying, "It's all thanks to the directors' thoughtful consideration. Before, I only considered Section Chief Li's work experience. After all, he has worked in the county government office for nearly ten years, and during that time, there haven't been any major oversights..."

"Director Jiang, please wait a moment!"

Before Jiang Qinghua could finish speaking, Gu Chenglong interrupted with a stern expression, "I disagree with Director Jiang's statement! I personally believe that Comrade Li Qiang is suspected of being jealous of talent and ability!"

"As far as I know, after Comrade Xu Hansheng successfully contacted Assistant General Manager Liu, Li Qiang and Xu Changqing contacted Vice General Manager Chen without Comrade Xu Hansheng's knowledge. Furthermore, afterwards, Assistant General Manager Liu practically berated them on the phone!"

"Doesn't this prove that it wasn't a major oversight in his work? And a major oversight caused by him!"

"Our Investment Promotion Bureau did a lot of preliminary work on Tiancheng Holdings' project. The entire bureau poured their hearts and souls into it. However, Comrade Li Qiang, in order to impress the leaders, disregarded the consequences and disrupted the normal contact process!"

"If he were a newcomer, or a township cadre who had just been transferred to the county government office, I could understand. But for a comrade who has worked in the county government office for nearly ten years and is very experienced to do such a thing makes me very suspicious."

"Did he not study Secretary Qi's speech thoroughly enough and fail to grasp its spirit, or did he personally underestimate the preliminary work of our Investment Promotion Bureau and, without thinking, suggest to Director Xu to bypass Comrade Xu Hansheng and directly contact Tiancheng Holdings?"

"I don't believe that Comrade Xu Changqing, with his work experience, would make such an irrational decision without being instigated!"

"Finally, I want to clarify that I didn't mean to target anyone; I was just stating the facts. For comrades who are not suitable for joining the group, we should leverage the advantages of democratic centralism to nip the problem in the bud. That's all I have to say!"

Holy crap!

After hearing his words, Jiang Qinghua blushed deeply and was speechless.

Li Qiang was belittled by Gu Chenglong as a jealous, mediocre, and incompetent fool!

Fu Changqing nodded slightly. As the director of the county party committee office, he was fully aware of the whole story. Although Gu Chenglong's words were a bit too harsh, there were no problems with the specific details.

Then, Fu Changqing turned to Lin Hanlong and asked, "County Chief Lin, what are your thoughts?"

Although he represented Secretary Qi of the County Party Committee, in this kind of situation, Lin Hanlong should still be the one in charge.

Furthermore, although he didn't say anything, but only asked Lin Hanlong for his opinion, his thoughts were already very clear.

Li Qiang cannot join the group!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking Lin Hanlong's opinion, but rather whether he should further investigate Section Chief Li.

Lin Hanlong pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said, "In my opinion, Comrade Li Qiang shouldn't join the group. Moreover, transferring three people from the Secretariat at once will increase the workload of the Secretariat. In my opinion, it would be better to have Comrade Xu Hansheng, along with a deputy, liaise with the Investment Promotion Bureau and be responsible for the preliminary contact work."

"Of course, from the perspective of equal rights and responsibilities, Comrade Xu Hansheng has only been working for a short time. Whether he can shoulder this heavy responsibility and withstand such great pressure still needs to be discussed with Comrade Xu Hansheng himself. Do any other comrades have anything to say?"

Lin Hanlong's entire statement boils down to just four words: equal rights and responsibilities!

This can be seen as protecting Jiang Qinghua from the sidelines. If any mistakes are made in the liaison work, Xu Hansheng will bear the main responsibility, and then Jiang Qinghua will have something to say.

"I have no objection and I support County Magistrate Lin's arrangement."

Fu Changqing was the first to express his opinion.
