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

Xu Hansheng suddenly sat up in bed and quickly went to Xu Kai's room. When he pushed the door open, Xu Kai was playing World of Warcraft.

"Xiao Kai, put the game aside for now and do me a favor!" Xu Hansheng handed the MP3 player to Xu Kai.

Xu Kai took off his headphones, looked up at Xu Hansheng, and asked, "Brother, what's up?"

After saying that, he picked up the MP3 player and asked with a surprised look.

Xu Hansheng said with a wicked grin, "There's an audio recording in my MP3 player. Can't you help me edit it? I'm really not good at that."

Xu Kai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem. Just tell me what you want to change at my next audition."

After saying that, Xu Kai closed the game, opened the webpage, quickly downloaded Audition, and connected the MP3 player to the computer.

"It's just a recording."

As soon as Xu Hansheng finished speaking, Xu Kai pointed to a document, made a call, and handed the earpiece to Xu Hansheng, saying, "Is this it?"

"right!"

Xu Hansheng nodded heavily and said, "You just need to string together all the relevant phrases related to 'Section Chief Li' and 'the Commission handles abstract matters, the Government handles practical matters' so that it doesn't sound out of place."

"Then, delete the original file from this MP3 file, and put the one you edited first in the playback sequence."

Xu Kai smiled and said, "Okay, give me some time, I'll fix it in a bit."

After speaking, Xu Kai used Audition to cut Li Qiang's words into segments and then carefully spliced ​​them together. Before exporting the audio file, he used a noise reduction tool to reduce the noise. Finally, as Xu Hansheng had instructed, he placed the file in the first playback position.

"Okay, bro, listen to this, is it any good?"

Xu Kai picked up the MP3 player and handed it to Xu Hansheng.

After Xu Hansheng clicked play and listened for a while, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Perfect."

Xu Kai looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, why are you cutting this?"

Xu Hansheng gave a mysterious smile and said, "I'll tell you in a while. Okay, you can continue playing your game."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng returned to his room, took his MP3 player, and went straight to bed to rest.

The next morning, Xu Hansheng left more than twenty minutes earlier than usual, and arrived at the entrance of the county committee compound before 7:30 a.m.

"Xiao Xu, you're here early today."

Security guard Zhang Yu looked at Xu Hansheng, who was full of energy early in the morning, and said with a smile.

Xu Hansheng chuckled, glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from his shirt pocket, with several hundred-yuan bills tucked into the back.

"Brother Zhang, let's not talk about anything else, you can take these cigarettes first."

Seeing that Xu Hansheng still had several hundred-yuan bills in his hand, Zhang Yu was taken aback and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "This won't do. I already feel bad about smoking your cigarettes, how could I dare to take your money?"

Xu Hansheng frowned, stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yu's hand, and slapped the cigarettes and money into his hand.

"Brother Zhang, you're being too polite."

As he spoke, Xu Hansheng pulled Zhang Yu to the guard post, took out an MP3 player from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Yu, saying, "Brother Zhang, this MP3 player was dropped by Director Tan during yesterday's meeting. We're not in the same department, and I don't know what's on it. If there's any recording or anything, he'll hold a grudge if I hand it back to him."

"As you know, I just started working here and I've already been targeted by our section chief and Director Xu. They've already made me run errands with Xu He. If I offend Director Tan as well, I'll lose my job."

"To be honest, my family went to great lengths to find me this job and spent a lot of money. If I get fired after less than two months, how am I supposed to explain it to my family?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was also in a dilemma. To be honest, Xu Hansheng had been really good to him during this period.

Putting aside the fact that he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and drinks a bottle of water every noon, just considering Xu Hansheng's sincerity towards him, he should help him with this favor!

But the problem is, he's just a lowly security guard.

His family still relies on his meager income to survive. If Xu Hansheng gives this thing away, he will offend people. Isn't it the same if he gives it away?

"Xiao Xu, it's not that I don't want to help, but even you can't afford to offend Director Tan, so I..."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu tugged at his shirt with a troubled expression, pointed to the word "Security Guard" on his arm, and said with a bitter face, "If I give it to him, won't I get fired immediately?"

Hearing this, Xu Hansheng chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry about this, I won't harm you. Of course, you can't just hand it over to Director Tan like that, that's definitely not an option, you'll offend someone."

what?

Zhang Yu paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "How am I supposed to give it to him? I can't just secretly put it in his pocket, can I? Opportunities like this are hard to come by!"

Xu Hansheng shook his head and said, "Give it to him openly and honestly, but you're doing this..."

As they spoke, Xu Hansheng leaned close to Zhang Yu's ear and whispered something to him.

"Oh, then... will that work?"

After hearing Xu Hansheng's words, Zhang Yu was still somewhat uneasy.

Xu Hansheng also put on a serious expression and said thoughtfully, "If Director Tan hadn't intentionally left this in the conference room, he would definitely have claimed it and thanked you."

"But if Director Tan feels that it's not safe for the things in here to be in his hands, and intentionally leaves them in the conference room, he will say that they are not his. You must stick to your story and say that he dropped them. Make him take them to the lost and found. In short, you must let him take them. That way, you will not have any responsibility."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay, we'll do it your way."

After saying that, he handed the cigarettes and money to Xu Hansheng, saying, "Xiao Xu, I'll help you with this, but these cigarettes and money..."

"These cigarettes and money, weren't they yours?"

Xu Hansheng frowned and said, then looked up and laughed, patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder, and strode into the county party committee office building.

Watching Xu Hansheng's retreating figure, Zhang Yu first put the cigarette into his shirt pocket, unfolded the banknotes, and carefully counted them—exactly one thousand!

After putting the thousand yuan in his pocket, Zhang Yu was almost certain that the MP3 player definitely did not belong to Tan Zhifei.

However, people die for wealth, and birds die for food!

Besides, Xu Hansheng was the only person in the entire county committee compound who truly treated him like a human being.

Having smoked Xu Hansheng's cigarettes for over a month and drunk his beverages for a month, I shouldn't have accepted any money for such a small favor.

However, considering the money involved, we should help even more.

As for who Xu Hansheng wants to use this thing to target, what does that have to do with him?

With that thought in mind, Zhang Yu, clutching his MP3 player and with his hands behind his back, walked back to the guard post.

Before long, the staff from both offices arrived at work one after another. Zhang Yu acted as if nothing had happened, greeting everyone as usual.

It wasn't until nearly eight o'clock that Tan Zhifei walked to the front door, looking preoccupied.

Just as Tan Zhifei passed the guard post, Zhang Yu casually tossed the MP3 player he was holding onto a short distance behind Tan Zhifei.

"Director Tan, you dropped something."

After saying that, Zhang Yu quickly stepped forward, picked up the MP3 player from the ground, and handed it to Tan Zhifei, saying, "Director Tan, you dropped your MP3 player."
