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

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanlong's expression darkened even further.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he's now proposing to investigate Li Qiang is tantamount to telling Qi Hongchang that he has something to hide.

This is no different from the scene in the TV series where, after a criminal is arrested, Lin Hanlong rushes out and stabs the criminal to death.

"Director Jiang, is it appropriate to deal with him now?" Lin Hanlong asked in a low voice.

this……

Jiang Qinghua was in a dilemma. If he didn't deal with him, how could he quell Qi Hongchang's anger?

Besides, Li Qiang is just a section-level cadre. Is there anything wrong with punishing him and protecting Lin Hanlong?

Besides this method, how else can Lin Hanlong deal with Li Qiang?

"Ugh!"

Seeing Jiang Qinghua remain silent with his head down, Lin Hanlong sighed helplessly and said, "Director Jiang, Pingshan Township lacks a pragmatic cadre. Since Comrade Li Qiang is only interested in doing practical work, our county government office shouldn't restrict the lofty ideals of grassroots cadres too much. We should give Comrade Li Qiang full support and create conditions so that he can give full play to the enthusiasm of a party member and cadre."

what?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinghua suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Hanlong.

"Director Jiang, please hurry up and get this done. The comrades in Pingshan Township are eagerly waiting."

Lin Hanlong glanced at Jiang Qinghua and waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes, County Chief Lin."

Jiang Qinghua responded and left Lin Hanlong's office.

On the way back, Jiang Qinghua's feelings were very complicated.

Lin Hanlong's words could be summarized in one sentence: he wanted Li Qiang to go to Pingshan Township to help alleviate poverty. However, the deeper meaning revealed in his words sent chills down Jiang Qinghua's spine.

First of all, County Head Lin Hanlong is not qualified to directly appoint the director of the poverty alleviation office in Pingshan Township; at most, he only has the right to make suggestions.

Sending Li Qiang to Pingshan Township would require a vote from the county party committee's standing committee.

And the most crucial link is the Organization Department.

Even those who have only been working for a year or two know that the county party committee's organization department and the county discipline inspection commission are both departments that Qi Hongchang controls.

Lin Hanlong has little say in personnel matters.

He had no authority to appoint or dismiss the director of the poverty alleviation office in Pingshan Township, nor could he simply order Li Qiang to take office with a single word. He also had no power over the directors of the various bureaus in the county.

Because the power to appoint and remove county bureau chiefs is two-way: on the one hand, it is based on the recommendation of the county party committee, and on the other hand, the power to appoint them rests with the municipal bureau.

This is also a key reason why, even though they are both the General Office and the Office of the Government, the different bureaus treat the Commissioner's Office and the Government Office very differently.

Because the government office itself represents County Magistrate Lin Hanlong, and Lin Hanlong has no power to appoint or dismiss the leaders of the various bureaus.

The political status of the government office is naturally much lower than that of the commission offices.

After all, rights are rooted in origin.

This time, however, Lin Hanlong directly instructed him to send Li Qiang to Pingshan Township for poverty alleviation, indicating that this was Qi Hongchang's idea.

Having already heard Li Qiang's recording, Qi Hongchang did not use the first half of the recording to invoke disciplinary and supervisory procedures to completely destroy Li Qiang. Instead, he gave him a way out. To put it bluntly, Qi Hongchang gave Li Qiang a chance to confess and receive leniency.

But who should be confessed to, and who should be treated leniently?

County Magistrate Lin Hanlong.

Qi Hongchang was waiting for Li Qiang to confess; this statement originated from Lin Hanlong.

In other words, Qi Hongchang was already extremely dissatisfied with Lin Hanlong.

If Li Qiang really climbs up this ladder, the next one to suffer will be Lin Hanlong.

After all, as the top leader of Yutong County, Qi Hongchang, the county party secretary, has the authority to lead the work of the county political consultative conference in terms of political principles, political direction, and major policies.

At the same time, it also controls two major functional departments of the county party committee: the organization department and the discipline inspection commission!

As long as he is dissatisfied with Lin Hanlong because of this matter, he can make Lin Hanlong feel like he's sitting on pins and needles.

Even without involving the CPPCC, Qi Hongchang could make it impossible for Lin Hanlong to move an inch using only the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department. In the worst-case scenario, it would be a pipe dream for Lin Hanlong to be transferred out of Yutong County.

The more Jiang Qinghua thought about it, the more uncertain he felt.

If something were to happen to Lin Hanlong, would he, as the director, be affected?

Damn it, it's all because of that stupid pig Li Qiang.

Jiang Qinghua grew increasingly resentful, wishing he could stab Li Qiang to death with a knife!

……

On the other hand, Xu Hansheng acted as if nothing had happened early in the morning, rushing to the conference room on the second floor, attending the group work meeting, and exchanging contact information with the office directors of several departments.

As they walked back, Du Xinyang said with a fawning expression, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, I will have to learn a lot from you in my work in the future. If you have the chance, please take me under your wing so that I can help you share some of the work pressure."

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Brother Du, what are you saying? I just got lucky for a moment, but luck can't put food on the table. If there are any shortcomings in my work in the future, Brother Du, you should remind me as soon as possible to avoid me making any major mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Du Xinyang chuckled a few times and said, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, you are too modest."

He said that, but in his heart he was secretly plotting to give Xu Hansheng some advice. He wasn't crazy or stupid; anyone with eyes could see that Tan Zhifei, the head of the working group, had different feelings for Xu Hansheng than for others.

Take today's first morning meeting for example. I don't know who offended Tan Zhifei, but from the moment he entered the meeting room, his face was longer than Changbai Mountain.

I laughed twice during the entire meeting.

The first was to praise Xu Hansheng for his important role in the previous negotiations, and the second was to express high expectations for Xu Hansheng.

Whoever receives the leader's attention is the most important person.

However, whoever receives the leader's smile is the one the leader cherishes most.

He had been working in the secretariat for four or five years. If he couldn't even tell the difference between a superior and a subordinate, and foolishly went to give Xu Hansheng advice, Tan Zhifei would have already given him advice from a leadership perspective before the day was even up.

Just as they reached the corner of the stairs, Du Xinyang hurriedly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said to Xu Hansheng, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, you must be tired after a meeting that's been going on for over an hour, right? Come on, come on, have a smoke to relax."

Xu Hansheng glanced at Du Xinyang and had to admit that, in terms of interpersonal skills alone, Du Xinyang was more than a level above Xu He.

Not only is he quick to change his expression, but he's also incredibly shameless.

Even though she had unpleasant experiences with Xu Hansheng in the past, and even clashed with him openly and secretly a few times, she turned around and acted as if nothing had ever happened, making everything seem so smooth and effortless.

With just his thick skin, Du Xinyang is the kind of person that leaders would remember.

"Thank you, Brother Du. I'll accept your offer then."

Xu Hansheng smiled and accepted the cigarettes from Du Xinyang. After taking one out of the pack, he handed the rest of the pack back to Du Xinyang.

"this……"

Du Xinyang stood there dumbfounded as Xu Hansheng handed him the cigarette with a smile. He had no idea how to deal with the situation.
