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

After calmly reviewing the proposal Lin Hanlong presented, Qi Hongchang smiled and nodded, saying, "County Chief Lin's idea is excellent and very practical. However, as the county's main leaders, we can't have a patriarchal mindset."

"Although I am also optimistic about this plan, I think we should still give full play to the advantages of democratic centralism."

"Since County Chief Lin thinks that we should first conduct a pilot program in Longping Town, why don't we bring along the heads of relevant departments, Li Wenbin, the director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and members of the investment promotion team? This afternoon, we can conduct an on-site inspection, listen to everyone's opinions, and then combine the opinions of the Longping Town Party Branch and the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Finally, we can hold a democratic vote to finalize this matter. This will better reflect the governance philosophy of starting from reality and benefiting the people, in conjunction with Qingshan City's livelihood projects."

"I wonder if County Magistrate Lin has any objections?"

Lin Hanlong shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, Secretary Qi's thinking is very comprehensive. I also think we should listen to opinions from all sides and consider them comprehensively. Secretary Qi still has a better overall perspective."

Qi Hongchang smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, then County Chief Lin can go ahead and get busy. I'll have my secretary inform everyone immediately that we'll depart promptly at 1 p.m. this afternoon."

"Okay, Secretary Qi."

Lin Hanlong stood up, smiling ingratiatingly, and said, "Then I won't disturb Secretary Qi's work any longer."

Seeing Qi Hongchang nod slightly, Lin Hanlong quickly left Qi Hongchang's office.

After Lin Hanlong left, Qi Hongchang's smile vanished instantly. He immediately picked up the phone and called Tan Zhifei.

Before long, Tan Zhifei strode into Qi Hongchang's office and said with a smile, "Secretary Qi, you wanted to see me?"

Qi Hongchang nodded coldly, tossed Lin Hanlong's proposal onto his desk, and said to Tan Zhifei, "Make a few copies. Investment promotion team, start discussing this immediately!"

"The topic of discussion was how to coordinate with the provincial and Qingshan City's 'vegetable basket' project!"

Tan Zhifei stepped forward, took the plan, and nodded, saying, "Okay, Secretary Qi."

Qi Hongchang then said in a deep voice, "After the meeting, make several more copies and distribute them to the Investment Promotion Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Land Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, the Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Longping Town Party Committee, and the main leaders of the town government."

"Notify them that at 1 p.m., all leaders at or above the deputy section chief level should assemble in front of the county committee building for an on-site inspection. Also, notify Director Fu that he should participate as well. Go."

"OK!"

Tan Zhifei responded and quickly walked out of the office.

When Tan Zhifei took the plan to make a copy, he noticed something unusual.

First of all, this should be the secretary's job, but Qi Hongchang made him responsible for conveying it. Moreover, the plan is already written very clearly, so is it still necessary to conduct an on-site investigation?

Even if it's just an inspection, it's enough to bring a few key leaders. Is it necessary to bring people from the Federation of Industry and Commerce?

Ok?

Tan Zhifei was suddenly stunned when he thought of this.

Director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce!

Qi Hongchang is about to make a big move!

Without time to think, Tan Zhifei hurriedly made multiple copies as Qi Hongchang instructed. He first had someone send a copy to the leaders of each bureau, and then personally delivered a copy to Fu Changqing. After repeating Qi Hongchang's original words to Fu Changqing, he notified the investment promotion team to hold a meeting in the conference room on the second floor.

Unlike the morning meeting, the office directors of several bureaus, including the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Investment Promotion Bureau, were not present.

After all, they're just here to coordinate things, not to actually do the work.

Therefore, they don't have to attend such meetings.

When Zhang Juan, Qian Xueming, Xu Hansheng, Du Xinyang, and others arrived at the conference room, Tan Zhifei was already seated.

Furthermore, each person had a copy of the plan that Tan Zhifei had already made on their desk.

After everyone was seated, Tan Zhifei spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone, take a look at the proposal on the table and share your opinions."

"The topic of discussion was how to cooperate with the provincial and Qingshan City's vegetable basket project."

Ok?

As soon as Tan Zhifei finished speaking, Xu Hansheng frowned.

This isn't right!

The plan clearly states that pig farming is collective, and even the operation is described in great detail. What is there to discuss?

You can just execute it directly.

This was clearly a veiled message, but Xu Hansheng was unsure whether it was Tan Zhifei's or Qi Hongchang's intention.

Therefore, they didn't say much more.

Even when it was Xu Hansheng's turn to speak, he only presented his views from a positive perspective.

After everyone had spoken in turn, Tan Zhifei nodded slightly and said, "Very good, everyone's ideas are quite mature. Next, after lunch today, everyone will follow Secretary Qi and County Head Lin to participate in the on-site inspection. When accompanying the leaders on their inspection, everyone must be careful with their words and actions!"

As he spoke, Tan Zhifei's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present.

Oh?

Upon hearing Tan Zhifei's words, Xu Hansheng's heart stirred!

Is this Qi Hongchang's intention?

Is Qi Hongchang already planning to make a move against Lin Hanlong so soon? Or is he just using this as an excuse?

Before meeting Qi Hongchang, Xu Hansheng wasn't sure if Qi Hongchang had lost patience with Lin Hanlong, just as he thought.

But in any case, this afternoon was a rare opportunity for Xu Hansheng.

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng and the others stood up, greeted Tan Zhifei, and quickly walked out of the office.

"Brother Xu, this trip with the leaders to conduct on-site inspections might just give us a chance to..."

Before Du Xinyang could finish speaking, Xu Hansheng turned to look at him and said, "Brother Du, don't have any ideas, and don't try to show off. Be careful with your words and actions."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng quickly walked back to his office, thought about it carefully, and then read the report again.

The more Xu Hansheng looked, the more puzzled he became.

Xu Hansheng didn't linger for a moment until lunch break, and rushed back to Hongyunlai.

Back in his bedroom, Xu Hansheng searched carefully for a long time before finally finding a diary from his college days.

After carefully reading the contents, Xu Hansheng felt relieved and took the diary to the living room. He began writing furiously while Li Xiuru prepared a basket of steamed buns for him.

He ate and wrote until lunchtime was almost over. Only then did Xu Hansheng put away his paper and pen, gently blow the ink off the diary, and, satisfied, take the diary back to his office.

At 1 p.m. sharp, the leaders of various bureaus and the members of the investment promotion team gathered at the entrance of the county government compound.

Qi Hongchang and Lin Hanlong, along with their respective secretaries and the director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, got into a Coaster bus.

Xu Hansheng and the others squeezed into another Costco and headed towards Longping Town.
