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

There's a very important detail here: when Du Xinyang handed over the pack of cigarettes, it was unopened.

However, the meaning was different when Xu Hansheng tore open the seal and handed it to him directly.

It's definitely not okay to take it flat.

"Brother Du, let's all share a cigarette. We've taken what we need, so we can't let others go empty-handed."

As soon as Xu Hansheng finished speaking, he stuffed the entire pack of cigarettes into Du Xinyang's hand.

Watching Xu Hansheng's smiling figure as he quickly walked down the stairs, Du Xinyang's smile froze.

He could only sense that Xu Hansheng was implying that his opportunity to join the crew was given to him by Xu Hansheng.

As for anything deeper, he couldn't hear it at all.

But Xu Hansheng's meaning is definitely not limited to just this one aspect.

Is this kid really a newbie?

With mixed feelings, Du Xinyang quickly caught up with Xu Hansheng, but always kept a half-body distance between them.

"Brother Xu... what do you think is the next step in our negotiations with Tiancheng Holdings? Is there anything I can do to help you?" Du Xinyang asked with a smile while smoking a cigarette.

Without realizing it, he even changed how he addressed Xu Hansheng.

"wait!"

Xu Hansheng said calmly, "Keep in touch and wait for news."

Du Xinyang pondered the taste, chuckled dryly a few times, and said, "Okay, whatever you say!"

Xu Hansheng flicked his cigarette ash, glanced down at his watch, and said, "It's about time we went back to the department. We don't want to miss any missions. Even though we're now part of the investment promotion team, we still have to follow Section Chief Li's arrangements."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng stubbed out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of and strode toward the Secretariat.

Du Xinyang was taken aback again, but he quickly understood what Xu Hansheng meant.

This is a compliance test.

Oh shit!

Du Xinyang was still a little resentful. Wasn't it just because he had just received praise from Director Tan?

What's the big deal?

So you've already started a compliance test with him so quickly?

Although he was unhappy, Du Xinyang still threw away the cigarette he had just taken two puffs of and followed Xu Hansheng.

As soon as I returned to the secretariat, I saw Li Qiang standing in the office talking.

Upon seeing Xu Hansheng and Du Xinyang, Li Qiang frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but held back. He then pointed to Xu Hansheng and Du Xinyang's seats and said, "You've come back just in time. Please sit down. Director Jiang has asked everyone in our secretariat to write an application report."

"I think many comrades know that Pingshan Township is currently lacking a director of the poverty alleviation office. Everyone should uphold the fearless spirit of serving the people and write this report well."

"Especially Comrade Xu Hansheng, your report was personally praised by Director Zhang, so you must write it carefully. Who knows, based on just one report, you might become the director of the poverty alleviation office in Pingshan Township?"

At this point, Li Qiang gave Xu Hansheng a malicious smile.

It wasn't just Li Qiang who thought Jiang Qinghua wanted to kick Xu Hansheng out of the secretariat; almost everyone else, except Du Xinyang, thought so too.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Qinghua have made all the departments submit such a report?

Applying to work in poverty alleviation?

It is still the poorest and most difficult township in the county.

Isn't this like a historical figure living in seclusion, giving up a perfectly good official position in the capital, and instead submitting a memorial requesting exile to Lingnan?

You wouldn't do something so stupid unless you drank 20 jin of fake liquor.

Sure enough, no sooner had Li Qiang finished speaking than Su Jie turned to Xu Hansheng and said, "Oh my, you know what? Comrade Xu Hansheng might actually get promoted and given an important position! The director of the township poverty alleviation office is a section-level cadre. You've only been working for a few days, and you're already getting promoted? I'm so envious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the department looked at Xu Hansheng with complicated expressions.

Although everyone wrote an application, everyone else had their own things to do. Only Xu Hansheng had just joined an investment promotion team, but to be honest, there wasn't much specific work involved.

Moreover, this isn't something that can be done immediately after submitting an application; there are still some organizational procedures involved.

It is highly likely that Xu Hansheng will have to head to Pingshan Township once Tiancheng Holdings' project is finalized.

Even Old Shen glanced at Xu Hansheng and shook his head repeatedly.

It seems Xu Hansheng is still too young and doesn't understand the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind."

So what if he finalized the deal with Tiancheng Holdings?

Because of Xu Hansheng, Xu Changqing was transferred from an important position to manage logistics. And since he was someone Jiang Qinghua had personally promoted, would Jiang Qinghua let Xu Hansheng off the hook?

As Old Shen thought about it, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Xu He also looked at Xu Hansheng with a complicated expression.

To be honest, Xu He also had a lot of opinions about Xu Hansheng because he was not able to join the investment promotion working group.

This was all just a matter of a word from Xu Hansheng. Even Xu He himself felt that he would definitely be able to join the investment promotion working group with Xu Hansheng. However, he had even prepared the meeting minutes and his speech, but this morning, Li Qiang notified Du Xinyang to go to a meeting.

This incident dealt a significant blow to Xu He.

But at this moment, Xu He felt much more at ease.

Maintaining a certain distance from Xu Hansheng might be beneficial for me.

Otherwise, if they were implicated by Xu Hansheng and sent to Pingshan Township as well, it would be a huge loss.

Xu Hansheng also took in the various aspects of life in the entire office.

Only Du Xinyang didn't turn around to look at him after Li Qiang and Su Jie said those words; the others were more or less gloating.

This certainly includes Xu He!

Therefore, never test human nature.

Because human nature simply cannot withstand the test!

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng smiled and took out the manuscript paper. While unscrewing the pen, he smiled at Su Jie and said, "Then I'll take your kind words, Sister Su. However, I still think Section Chief Li is more suitable for this position."

"After all, Deputy Section Chief Chen is already in Pingshan Township. If Section Chief Li is transferred there, he can reunite with Deputy Section Chief Chen. In case he gets tired or sleepy, he'll have someone to catch up with, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiang snorted coldly, sized up Xu Hansheng, and said, "Stop with the empty words. Think about how you're going to do a good job of poverty alleviation after you get to Pingshan Township! I hope you can return to the county government office before you die!"

"To be honest, I'm really going to miss you. With you around, the atmosphere in our department was so much more lively! Now that you're leaving, I feel a bit empty inside, haha..."

After saying that, Li Qiang walked back to his office with his hands behind his back, feeling quite pleased with himself.

He was certain that Wang Long had done something to persuade him, otherwise Jiang Qinghua wouldn't have come up with this idea.

Everyone submitted the application together, but the final decision rests with Jiang Qinghua.

If he only submits Xu Hansheng's application, then the only person who can leave will be Xu Hansheng!

Wonderful!

That's why I say Director Jiang was able to become the head of the county government office!

This was done so subtly and quietly!
