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

When Xu Hansheng said this, even Liu Haitao didn't know how to respond.

Xu He's two sentences were indeed inappropriate, so he could only laugh awkwardly and change the subject.

Soon, Xu Hansheng and Liu Haitao walked back to the office, just as everyone else had handed in their applications to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang, in a good mood, walked out of the office with everyone's application forms in hand, and ran into Xu Hansheng and Liu Haitao.

Li Qiang glanced at Xu Hansheng and said with a smile, "Comrade Xu Hansheng's application this time is particularly sincere and full of emotion. It deserves praise."

Xu Hansheng simply smiled slightly at Li Qiang, said nothing more, and walked back to his workstation to sit down.

Seeing this, Li Qiang didn't make things difficult for Xu Hansheng. In his view, Xu Hansheng would be out of a job soon. Nominally, he was there to help alleviate poverty, but in reality, he was being kicked out of the county government office.

As the victor, one must always show some semblance of composure.

Thinking of this, Li Qiang strode to the first table in the main office, clapped his hands lightly twice, and said, "Everyone, put down your work for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Shen and the others put down their work and turned to look at Li Qiang.

"I would like to give special praise to Comrade Xu Hansheng from our department."

After saying this, Li Qiang pointed at Xu Hansheng before continuing, "Comrade Xu Hansheng wrote an excellent application this time! Even Comrade Lao Shen couldn't write with the same sincerity and emotion. From the first day we reported to the county government office, we should have embraced the lofty ideal of serving the people and actively devoted ourselves to our work!"

"Now, everyone can pass this around. We should all learn from Comrade Xu Hansheng. Regardless of whether Comrade Xu Hansheng can work with us again in the future, his spirit is something we should all learn from!"

After saying that, Li Qiang took out Xu Hansheng's application form separately and handed it to Su Jie.

After everyone had read it, starting with Su Jie, Li Qiang said with a smug look, "Although Comrade Du Xinyang's application hasn't been submitted yet, there's no need to wait any longer. I believe that Comrade Xu Hansheng's application will definitely satisfy the leaders. Here, I congratulate Comrade Xu Hansheng in advance on his upcoming appointment as the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office in Pingshan Township."

"Everyone, give us a round of applause!"

After he finished speaking, Li Qiang took the lead in clapping.

Xu Hansheng listened to the applause with a calm expression, without saying a word.

In everyone's eyes, this was Xu Hansheng's way of showing weakness. Coupled with Li Qiang's performance just now, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Xu Hansheng was transferred.

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to work."

After saying that, Li Qiang took the application forms from everyone, walked to Zhang Juan's office door, and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Upon hearing Zhang Juan's invitation to enter, Li Qiang pushed open the door and walked in with a fawning expression. When he saw the sun tree behind Zhang Juan, he was taken aback.

He also bought a sun tree, but it was much smaller than this one. He hadn't even had a chance to give it away yet. Who was this person who beat him to it?

Upon closer reflection, who else could it be but Xu Hansheng?

This thing isn't cheap; only Xu Hansheng's family could afford it.

such a pity!

Even if you take a great picture of Zhang Juan, what's the point?

Didn't they still fail to get past Jiang Qinghua?

Thinking of this, Li Qiang's mood improved considerably. He quickly walked to Zhang Juan's desk, handed her the application, and said, "Director Zhang, this is the application that Director Jiang had the entire department write this morning. Please take a look."

Zhang Juan asked with a surprised look, "What application form?"

She had no idea what had happened this morning.

After all, besides Tan Zhifei and Qi Hongchang, only County Magistrate Lin Hanlong and Jiang Qinghua knew about the recording.

Such rumors, which undermine unity, cannot be made public on a large scale, let alone known to the directors of the General Office and the General Office.

From Lin Hanlong's perspective, he didn't want the phrase "the commission office is all talk and no action, the prefectural office is all action" to become common knowledge in the county government, as that would be tantamount to declaring war on Qi Hongchang.

Jiang Qinghua naturally understood that Lin Hanlong wanted to handle the matter discreetly.

Therefore, apart from himself, no one in the entire county government office knew that something earth-shattering had happened that morning that shook everyone in the office, from County Magistrate Lin Hanlong to everyone else.

"Oh, Director Jiang said that he wants to select one or two outstanding cadres from our secretariat to serve as directors of the poverty alleviation office in Pingshan Township."

Li Qiang said with a serious expression, "So, we had everyone in the department write an application."

Zhang Juan nodded and said, "Oh, I see. Then please just give the application to Director Jiang directly, Section Chief Li. This is not my responsibility, and I have no right to interfere."

Although she didn't know why Jiang Qinghua wanted to do this, it was not only beyond her authority, but even Jiang Qinghua didn't have this right.

When will the director of the county government office be able to represent the organization department in selecting and verifying cadres?

Zhang Juan didn't want to get involved in anything that clearly overstepped her authority.

Li Qiang was taken aback when he heard this.

Did Jiang Qinghua not notify Zhang Juan?

Why does this seem so strange?

When did it become common practice for county government offices to bypass their superiors in handling matters?

But Zhang Juan had already spoken, so he could only awkwardly smile and say, "Okay, Director Zhang, I'll pass the application on to Director Jiang right away."

After saying that, Li Qiang walked into Jiang Qinghua's office with a puzzled look on his face.

"Section Chief Li is here? Please have a seat."

Jiang Qinghua looked at Li Qiang with a smile. After Li Qiang closed the door, he handed Jiang Qinghua the application forms of everyone in the secretariat with both hands and said, "Director Jiang, apart from Comrade Du Xinyang who was busy this morning, all the application forms of everyone else in our department are here."

Jiang Qinghua frowned slightly, took the application form, glanced at it, and said indifferently, "What's Du Xinyang busy with? Didn't I say everyone has to write one?"

Li Qiang said with a smile, "Du Xinyang went to handle some matters with the Environmental Protection Bureau. I heard it was for the project at Tiancheng Holdings. I didn't ask for details, since I'm not part of the investment promotion team. Asking too much would seem like interfering with Comrade Du Xinyang's work on completing the tasks assigned by his superiors, so I just..."

Jiang Qinghua's lips curled slightly upwards as he suppressed the urge to rush up and stab Li Qiang a few times. With a smile, he asked, "Have you seen these applications, Section Chief Li? Which one is the best?"

Li Qiang said with a beaming smile, "Director Jiang, I have checked them all. In my personal opinion, Comrade Xu Hansheng wrote the best. It is full of emotion and sincere."

While they were talking, Li Qiang helped Jiang Qinghua find Xu Hansheng's application form.

Jiang Qinghua glanced at it briefly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Hmm, Xiao Xu's application is really well written, it shows a lot of enthusiasm."

Li Qiang's face beamed with joy, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, Xu Hansheng's application..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Qinghua waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Section Chief Li, copy Comrade Xu Hansheng's application verbatim and submit it to the Organization Department yourself."

What?

The smile on Li Qiang's face froze instantly!

Let him copy Xu Hansheng's application verbatim and submit it to the Organization Department?

Pfft!

Li Qiang lost his balance and slid off the chair.
