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

Since even Fu Changqing said so, the others naturally wouldn't object.

Although Jiang Qinghua was unhappy, he could only nod in agreement.

Finally, it was Zhang Juan's turn to speak.

Zhang Juan glanced at the folder in front of her, thought for a moment, and then said to everyone, "I think the two people Director Jiang just mentioned are very suitable to join the group. So, besides Comrade Xu Hansheng, who should decide on the other candidate? Should we consult Section Chief Li? After all, I've just taken charge of the secretariat and don't know much about it. Comrade Li Qiang should be able to handle this role."

She was trying to ease the tension and also to give Jiang Qinghua a way out.

Li Qiang's recommendation was flawed, but Jiang Qinghua's opinions on the other two people were quite pertinent, which indirectly helped Jiang Qinghua save face.

Before Jiang Qinghua and the others could speak, Gu Chenglong looked at Zhang Juan and said, "Director Zhang, I don't think it's necessary to let Section Chief Li choose the people, is it?"

"As County Chief Lin just said, power and responsibility should be commensurate. Therefore, we should respect Comrade Xu Hansheng's opinion. Furthermore, since this person has been clearly designated as Comrade Xu Hansheng's deputy, we should find someone compatible with Comrade Xu Hansheng to join the team. Otherwise, I'm worried it will affect work efficiency. I wonder if everyone agrees with my point of view?"

This……

Even Zhang Juan was a little embarrassed.

What's wrong with Gu Chenglong today? Whenever someone says Li Qiang has any advantage, Gu Chenglong is the first to jump out and object.

Only then did Jiang Qinghua, Zhang Juan, and the others realize that Gu Chenglong was not dissatisfied with Jiang Qinghua or Zhang Juan, but simply wanted to target Li Qiang!

Their objective was very clear, and their will to fight was extremely strong.

"Director Zhang, I think Director Gu's concerns are somewhat reasonable. Why don't we ask him about it when we talk to Comrade Xu Hansheng?"

Seeing that Gu Chenglong wasn't targeting him, Jiang Qinghua took the initiative to ease the tension.

Zhang Juan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Comrade Xu Hansheng for his opinion when I get back."

With the staff in the secretariat finalized, Gu Chenglong and Jiang Qinghua's relationship gradually became more harmonious, and they no longer argued over any issues.

Only after the meeting ended did Lin Hanlong call Jiang Qinghua and Zhang Juan aside and say, "Director Jiang, Director Zhang, although Comrade Xu Hansheng's work ability is evident to all, and even Director Gu highly approves of it, but..."

At this point, Lin Hanlong's expression darkened slightly. "I must remind Comrade Xu Hansheng to correct his work attitude. How could such an important report be submitted a day late? We must not allow similar situations to happen again!"

After saying that, Lin Hanlong picked up his thermos and turned to leave the conference room.

Zhang Juan looked at Jiang Qinghua with a bewildered expression and said, "Director Jiang, what is this...?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Qinghua understood the mystery: Wang Long must have withheld Xu Hansheng's report for a day!

But he couldn't say these things to Zhang Juanming; offending Wang Long would also bring him bad consequences.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qinghua smiled and said, "Director Zhang, what County Chief Lin said makes some sense. Young people often become arrogant after achieving a little success. This time, County Chief Lin didn't pursue the matter, so let him take it as a warning."

After saying that, Jiang Qinghua turned and left.

Zhang Juan returned to her office with a furrowed brow and a worried expression.

She naturally had no idea what the problem was.

Yesterday morning, before 10 a.m., she handed Xu Hansheng's report to Jiang Qinghua. According to normal procedures, the report should have been on Lin Hanlong's desk before lunch break.

But how come it's a whole day late?

There were two obstacles in between: Jiang Qinghua and Wang Long. For a time, Zhang Juan didn't know who was secretly making things difficult for Xu Hansheng.

However, no matter who it is, it's not a good thing for Xu Hansheng.

These two men, one the chief secretary of County Magistrate Lin and the other the director of the county government office, could not be said to have the power to decide Xu Hansheng's life or death, but they could certainly cause him some trouble.

Even after joining the working group, Xu Hansheng's reports still had to go through Lin Hanlong before reaching Qi Hongchang.

If Lin Hanlong is a day late, Qi Hongchang will also be a day late. By then, Qi Hongchang's impression of Xu Hansheng will...

Thinking of this, Zhang Juan shook her head repeatedly.

This is a favor she can't simply do at will. Even though she thinks highly of Xu Hansheng, she can't influence her superiors' decisions.

After sitting in the office for a while, Zhang Juan called Li Qiang.

"Section Chief Li, please have Comrade Xu Hansheng come to my office immediately."

After saying that, Zhang Juan hung up the phone.

After Li Qiang hung up the phone, his eyes were practically spitting fire.

This is another instance of Xu Hansheng being asked to report to a higher-level authority. Does he think Xu Hansheng, the section chief, doesn't exist?

If that's the case, it would be better to just remove him from his position as section chief!

This was no small matter. Xu Hansheng always reported work to his superiors without consulting them, which made Li Qiang, the section chief, lose his authority. However, Li Qiang didn't dare to openly confront Zhang Juan, so he walked into the main office and greeted Xu Hansheng, who was fiddling with his phone, "Comrade Xu Hansheng!"

Xu Hansheng quickly put down his phone and smiled at Li Qiang, "Section Chief, is there something you need?"

"What's the matter?" Li Qiang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What are you doing during work hours? If you want to play on your phone, go home. The secretariat also has rules and regulations. Don't think that just because Director Zhang praised you a few times, you can do whatever you want!"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Hansheng. It was obvious that Li Qiang was deliberately making a mountain out of a molehill to give Xu Hansheng a hard time.

Su Jie looked at Xu Hansheng with a gloating expression.

What difference does it make if Zhang Juan praises me a few times?

His brother-in-law is the head of the secretariat!

When it comes to specific work, isn't it his brother-in-law who has the final say?

Old Shen merely glanced at Xu Hansheng and didn't say anything more.

Having offended the section chief, and especially by causing him to lose face at a large meeting, Li Qiang would not have let Xu Hansheng off easily, even if it weren't for Xu Hansheng.

They were still too young after all!

Just when Lao Shen thought Xu Hansheng could only suffer in silence, Xu Hansheng smiled and took out his phone, saying to Li Qiang, "Section Chief Li, Assistant General Manager Liu asked me to arrange the time and place for our next meeting. I'm replying to his text message right now. How about you reply for me, Section Chief Li? Of course, if something goes wrong because of a few text messages, hehe..."

At this point, Xu Hansheng didn't continue, but just chuckled a few times.

However, the implication is already self-evident.

If you mess this up again, Li Qiang, you'll have to go to the countryside to help with poverty alleviation. You'd better think it over!

As soon as he said this, Li Qiang's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to take this opportunity to criticize Xu Hansheng harshly, but he didn't expect Xu Hansheng to directly use Tiancheng Holdings' project to pressure him.

"Hehe, okay!"

Li Qiang nodded heavily and said, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, I misunderstood you. It seems you're very dedicated to your job. I'll let it go this time. But I hope you won't let me find out you're chatting during work hours!"

"Maintaining a proper work attitude is the fundamental principle for everyone in our county government office!"

"Previously, Deputy Section Chief Chen was transferred to Pingshan Township because of his improper work attitude!"

These words intensified the already tense atmosphere.

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "Section Chief Li, why aren't you with Section Chief Chen? Only the old team can do a good job."

"you……"

Li Qiang took a deep breath, pointed at Xu Hansheng, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright! I won't say anything more. Director Zhang wants you to go to her office immediately!"

After saying that, Li Qiang snorted angrily and turned to go back to his office.
