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

In Longping Town, they had already received the news and spent the entire noon waiting for the county committee's car to arrive.

It wasn't until 1:30 p.m. that two Toyota Coasters slowly drove into the gate of Longping Town Government. The main leaders of Longping Town quickly came forward to greet them. They first shook hands with Qi Hongchang, Lin Hanlong and others, and then shook hands with Xu Hansheng, Tan Zhifei and others.

"Secretary Qi, County Head Lin, please go to the office and rest for a while."

Guo Xinmin, the Party Secretary of Longping Town, said with a broad smile.

"No need, let's go and see Xiaowa Village, which County Chief Lin mentioned, in person first."

Qi Hongchang said calmly.

Guo Xinmin nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Xiaowa Village is not far from the town, about four or five miles away. I'll lead the way, Secretary Qi, you and County Chief Lin can just follow my car."

As they were talking, Guo Xinmin invited Qi Hongjing, Lin Hanlong, and others into the car.

Before long, everyone's car stopped in front of a hillside.

Getting out of the car again, Qi Hongchang glanced around and said to Lin Hanlong and the heads of various bureaus, "Hmm, it seems County Magistrate Lin has a keen eye and knows how to choose a location."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, County Magistrate Lin has indeed chosen a great location."

"Yes, yes, building a pigsty here is spacious and won't interfere with the normal farming season."

Xu Hansheng followed behind the crowd, glanced at the hillside ahead, and simply smiled without saying a word.

Qi Hongchang chuckled softly a few times, then pointed to the distant hillside and said thoughtfully, "Vice Governor Wang of the province has repeatedly emphasized the need to adapt to local conditions."

"Our county also has very close economic ties with Qingshan City. Therefore, our economic work must not only take into account our own situation, but also Qingshan City, and even more so the spirit of the provincial party committee's meetings and instructions."

"Look at this huge hillside, it's such a waste that it can't be used to grow crops. How can we make the most of it while also supporting the city's food supply, meat processing, and rice production projects?"

Ok?

Many people were stunned by these words.

Didn't we agree to raise pigs collectively?

But Qi Hongchang didn't mention the word "pig" once in his entire speech.

Listen carefully to the tone of voice, just as one would listen carefully to the sound of drums and gongs; this tone is clearly off.

Lin Hanlong, who had been all smiles just moments before, froze instantly.

Who is Qi Hongchang?

It's absolutely impossible for us to go off-topic!

What does he mean by that?

Jiang Qinghua couldn't help but frown slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Just as everyone was still stunned, wondering what Qi Hongchang was up to, a loud and clear voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd: "Secretary Qi, I think such good hillside land should be vigorously developed for animal husbandry."

Ok?

Upon hearing Xu Hansheng's voice, everyone present turned to look at him.

Zhang Juan nervously said to Xu Hansheng, "Didn't Director Tan say that we should be careful with our words and actions?"

However, it was too late for her to say anything. Qi Hongchang and Lin Hanlong both turned to look at Xu Hansheng.

Qi Hongchang smiled and looked Xu Hansheng up and down, asking, "Young comrade, which unit are you from?"

"Reporting to Secretary Qi, I am Xu Hansheng, a staff member of the Secretariat of the County Government Office."

Xu Hansheng stepped forward, straightened his back, and looked up at Qi Hongchang.

"Xu Hansheng?"

Qi Hongchang still had some impression of Xu Hansheng. Recently, his name had appeared frequently in reports about Tiancheng Holdings' investment projects.

"You're the one admitted through special admissions, right?"

As he spoke, Qi Hongchang's smile gradually faded, and he scrutinized Xu Hansheng with a critical gaze.

"It's me!"

Xu Hansheng nodded heavily.

"You just said that we should vigorously develop animal husbandry? Well, I'd like to hear your thoughts on how we should develop animal husbandry."

At this moment, Qi Hongchang's expression was already rather unpleasant.

Tan Zhifei couldn't help but feel worried for Xu Hansheng.

With so many leaders here, and no one saying a word, what are you, a mere clerk, doing interrupting?

No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't help Xu Hansheng at all. He could only sigh helplessly and secretly blame Xu Hansheng for being so tactless.

Gu Chenglong, who was standing next to him, also frowned deeply.

Based on his understanding of Xu Hansheng, he shouldn't have acted so rashly.

Seeing that Secretary Qi's expression was turning sour, it was clear that if Xu Hansheng gave a careless answer, the consequences would be devastating.

"I think we should raise cattle."

Xu Hansheng looked at Qi Hongchang with a serious expression and said loudly.

"Raising cattle?"

Upon hearing the last two words, Qi Hongchang's expression instantly brightened, and he chuckled, pointing at Xu Hansheng and saying, "Hehehe... Young people are just so imaginative. But young people should have ideas, and dare to think and speak them."

"Otherwise, how can we call them young people!"

These words, seemingly criticizing Xu Hansheng's ideas as impractical, were actually a test of Xu Hansheng's adaptability.

Let alone raising cattle, as long as it's not raising pigs, whatever Xu Hansheng says is right.

This was a question Xu Hansheng had already figured out before he even spoke.

There was no on-site investigation whatsoever!

While in the car, Xu Hansheng learned from other people's conversations that Qi Hongchang had specially brought the director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce with him this time!

Qi Hongchang brought him here to use the Federation of Industry and Commerce to reject Lin Hanlong's proposal.

However, such words should not come from Qi Hongchang's mouth, as that would affect unity.

Therefore, someone has to fire the first shot!

Xu Hansheng volunteered to be at the forefront because he saw the opportunity; for him, this was the chance to leap over the dragon gate!

Thinking of this, before anyone else could speak, Xu Hansheng said with a serious expression, "Reporting to Secretary Qi, I didn't just say it casually. I put forward my opinion and views after careful consideration."

Hearing this, Qi Hongchang put his hands behind his back, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile, "Oh? You young comrade, you have some ideas? Well, I'd also like to hear what young people think, after all, the future belongs to you young people."

At this point, Qi Hongchang glanced at Lin Hanlong and Jiang Qinghua, whose faces were extremely grim, and then at the directors of the other bureaus. He smiled and said, "Let's all listen to this young comrade's thoughts and consider whether his idea is feasible."

"We also need to give young people a stage to showcase their talents, don't you think?"

Even Qi Hongchang said so, so how could anyone else dare to say a word against it?

"Yes, young people should be given a stage to showcase themselves."

"Yes, yes, the future belongs to the young!"

"Secretary Qi is right. We can't just rely on old ideas; we also need to introduce new ones!"

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Lin Hanlong smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, it seems you really have brought honor to our county government office. Director Jiang and I are also very eager to hear your eloquent discourse."

Oh shit!

You dare not refute Qi Hongchang? Do you think I can't control you?

Lin Hanlong stared sharply at Xu Hansheng, speaking with a hint of threat in his voice.
