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

Before long, Xu Hansheng arrived at Jiang Qinghua's office door, knocked lightly twice, and said, "Director Jiang, Secretariat, Xu Hansheng reporting for duty!"

Jiang Qinghua smiled and nodded, saying, "Close the door and come sit down."

Xu Hansheng responded, closed the door, and sat down opposite Jiang Qinghua.

"Comrade Xu Hansheng, I heard before that you and Section Chief Li had some unpleasantness?" Jiang Qinghua asked calmly.

Ok?

Xu Hansheng raised an eyebrow. What was Jiang Qinghua doing?

He immediately understood Jiang Qinghua's intention: on the surface, he was testing Li Qiang's usual work, but in reality, he was secretly investigating the source of the recording.

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng looked up at Jiang Qinghua, smiled and shook his head, saying, "I wouldn't say that. There was just a misunderstanding, but it was resolved on the spot."

"For example, yesterday I was in contact with Assistant General Manager Liu of Tiancheng Holdings, and Section Chief Li mistakenly thought I was playing on my phone, so I explained it to Section Chief Li. Moreover, I also felt that this was a sign of Section Chief Li's conscientiousness and responsibility."

"If I were the section chief, I would definitely ask too, since you shouldn't be using your phone during work hours."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinghua nodded and asked, "So, is there anything you're dissatisfied with about your section chief?"

Xu Hansheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Director Jiang, I think our section chief is a good person, but sometimes he's a bit too serious. That's all."

If he doesn't say a bad word about him, then he must be being hypocritical. But if he says too much, wouldn't that be the same as telling Jiang Qinghua that he suspects him?

Therefore, Xu Hansheng only said a few symbolic words, which sounded like he had some opinions about Li Qiang, but upon closer inspection, Xu Hansheng didn't actually say anything.

After asking Xu Hansheng a few more questions, Jiang Qinghua finally let Xu Hansheng go back.

Soon, Xu He also arrived at Jiang Qinghua's office.

When the same question was asked to Xu He, his answer was completely different from Xu Hansheng's.

It can be said that Xu He told Jiang Qinghua all the grievances he had suffered over the past two or three years.

The more Jiang Qinghua listened, the wider his smile became.

Indeed, just as Xu Hansheng guessed, although Jiang Qinghua would not tolerate Li Qiang, the real culprit was the owner of that MP3 player!

However, given Jiang Qinghua's position, he cannot publicly investigate the source of that MP3.

Why are you investigating this?

Do you still want to retaliate against the person who reported you to the Party Secretary?

On a small scale, it would arouse Qi Hongchang's suspicion; on a larger scale, if Qi Hongchang found out about this, he could easily have the Organization Department or the Discipline Inspection Commission summon him every few days under the pretext of receiving a report from the public. After being repeatedly reprimanded, Director Jiang Qinghua would have to voluntarily request a transfer to a township.

Otherwise, he would be called in for talks every day, and he would have no heart to deal with his work. Moreover, his prestige would plummet.

If Jiang Qinghua doesn't learn his lesson after being warned several times, he might not even get the chance to go to the township.

Therefore, Jiang Qinghua could only use this method to secretly identify a few people who might be capable of such a thing.

Upon closer reflection, who, besides the people in the secretariat, would target Li Qiang?

He was such a nobody that he couldn't be more insignificant.

Even if it were placed under the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, it wouldn't be a particularly important role.

Therefore, after hearing Xu He's complaints, Jiang Qinghua was basically able to lock onto his target.

Xu He is very likely the one who secretly recorded the conversation!

"By the way, the security guard at the gate said you were late for work today?" Jiang Qinghua asked with a smile.

Xu He thought for a moment and nodded, "Oh, Director Jiang, last night, I had dinner with the new guy Xu Hansheng and Liu Haitao. But I don't know what happened yesterday, I suddenly had an upset stomach, so I left a little early, and that's why I'm a few minutes late this morning."

Jiang Qinghua nodded emphatically, looking concerned, and asked, "Oh, is that so? Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup? Health is the foundation of everything, you must take good care of yourself!"

Xu He chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director Jiang. I'm fine. I've been running around every day for the past two years, so I'm used to it..."

Jiang Qinghua sneered inwardly. "You're the one who pretended to have dinner with Xu Hansheng and Liu Haitao after get off work, and then secretly followed Li Qiang to record the conversation!"

Still trying to create an alibi?

Young man, you're too green!

"Alright, Comrade Xu He, you can go back to work now. Remember to take care of your health in the future, understand?"

Jiang Qinghua frowned, looking very concerned about Xu He as he spoke.

"Understood, Director Jiang, thank you for your concern."

After Xu He finished speaking, he stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Um."

Jiang Qinghua pointed and said, "You're not allowed to go anywhere this noon. Go to the hospital right now to get your stomach and intestines checked."

"Yes, Director."

After Xu He finished speaking, he quickly walked out of Jiang Qing's office.

Watching Xu He's retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Qinghua's eyes.

As a staff member in the county government office, I took my section chief's materials and went to the county party committee office to report this person... This person cannot be allowed to live!

However, he doesn't dare to touch Xu He right now.

If he really did report it, then Xu He should be dealt with right now, unless someone is crazy!

We'll have to wait until this matter fades away before we find an opportunity to teach him a lesson!

Having made up his mind, Jiang Qinghua quickly went to Lin Hanlong's office.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Qinghua, Lin Hanlong asked with a hint of displeasure, "How's the matter with Li Qiang going?"

"County Chief Lin, I've already told him to submit his application to the Organization Department himself," Jiang Qinghua reported truthfully. "Also, I took the opportunity of inquiring about Li Qiang's recent work situation to ask the people in the Secretariat a few questions."

"Only two people are suspicious: Xu Hansheng and Xu He."

"However, Xu Hansheng, a newcomer, shouldn't have done such a thing. Besides, I heard from Liu Haitao and Xu He that the three of them were drinking together last night, and Xu Hansheng didn't leave until very late."

"However, Xu He left halfway through, lying that he had an upset stomach. Moreover, he had a lot of complaints about Li Qiang. Whether in terms of connections in the General Offices of the CPC Central Committee and the General Offices of the CPC Central Committee, or in terms of experience, Xu He's dislike for Li Qiang far exceeded that of Xu Hansheng."

"Putting aside other things, even if Xu Hansheng heard the saying 'the commissions are good at abstract things, while the government and the associations are good at practical things,' he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it. Based on his work experience, he might not even realize the seriousness of the saying."

After listening to Jiang Qinghua's report, Lin Hanlong's expression finally softened a little.

At least Jiang Qinghua knew how to think what the leader was thinking. Even without being told what to do, Jiang Qinghua was able to take the initiative to do his job well and, without making a fuss, he found out the first suspect.

Based on this alone, Jiang Qinghua is quite competent as director.

Thinking of this, Lin Hanlong said calmly, "Keep a close eye on things. Stability is the top priority these days."

"Yes, County Chief Lin, I will pay close attention to Xu He's performance at work," Jiang Qinghua said with a smile.
