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

Xu Hansheng glanced at the untouched meat dishes on the table and said to Li Xiuru, "Mom, this braised beef and the braised mutton over there haven't been touched at all. It's such a waste to throw them away. Why don't we give them to Aunt Li to take back?"

This Aunt Li is the limping woman who was checked for her health certificate earlier.

Li Xiuru thought for a moment, nodded slightly, then pushed open the door of the private room and called out into the corridor, "Sister Li, come here for a moment."

Before long, Aunt Li limped into the private room and said to Li Xiuru, "Boss, did you call me?"

Xu Hansheng pointed directly to the dishes on the table and said, "Aunt Li, this poached chicken and the braised beef and mutton over there haven't been touched. I'll have the waiter pack them up for you to take home later."

Aunt Li glanced at the dishes on the table and said gratefully to Xu Hansheng, "Thank you, thank you so much."

To be honest, she was already very grateful that she could wash dishes at Xu Hansheng's house.

Although her income is enough to make a living, she can't even dream of eating lavish meals.

She and her grandson haven't eaten meat for almost half a year.

Looking at the meat and vegetables on the table, she was so tempted that she kept swallowing, but when she thought of her little grandson at home, she resisted the urge to take a bite first.

Before long, several waiters packed up the meat and vegetables on the table and handed them to Aunt Li.

"Thank you. I wish you and your family good fortune, happiness, and longevity."

Aunt Li, carrying a heavy lunchbox, bowed three times to Xu Hansheng and Li Xiuru.

"Aunt Li, there's no need to be so polite. Since you work for us, we're family."

Xu Hansheng stepped forward and helped Aunt Li, who was about to bow, to her feet.

Li Xiuru watched Xu Hansheng help Aunt Li walk away into the distance, and felt quite gratified.

A year ago, Xu Hansheng did not agree to take in Aunt Li, but in the blink of an eye, Xu Hansheng has changed the most.

Perhaps working at the county committee really changed something?

"Alright, clean up the private room, we're about to have guests."

Li Xiuru only gave instructions to the two waiters after Xu Hansheng went up to the bedroom on the fourth floor.

That night, Xu Hansheng didn't answer any more calls from anyone.

I finally got a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Xu Hansheng had just returned to his office after finishing the morning meeting when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Xu Hansheng put away the meeting minutes notebook and tidied up his desk.

Just then, the door opened, and Gu Chenglong stepped in.

"Director Gu? Is something the matter?"

Xu Hansheng hurriedly stood up to greet him, saying to Gu Chenglong, "Director Gu, please have a seat."

Gu Chenglong sat down opposite Xu Hansheng with a big smile on his face.

Xu Hansheng stood up and poured Gu Chenglong a cup of tea, saying, "Director Gu, just say what you need to say. We're all on the same side, there's no need to distinguish between us."

Hearing this, Gu Chenglong felt relieved. While sipping his tea, he asked Xu Hansheng, "Section Chief Xu, are you free tonight?"

Xu Hansheng frowned, sized up Gu Chenglong, and said, "Director Gu..."

"I'll introduce you to a friend tonight. If it's convenient, let's meet at six o'clock at night, Hongyunlai," Gu Chenglong said with a mysterious smile.

this……

Xu Hansheng didn't need to guess; he knew exactly who Gu Chenglong was introducing him to.

Xu Hansheng could refuse if someone else introduced him, but having just had dealings with Gu Chenglong, refusing him now would inevitably damage their relationship.

After thinking it over, Xu Hansheng nodded slightly and said, "Very well, then I will respectfully comply."

Seeing that Xu Hansheng had agreed, Gu Chenglong stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll come over and wait for you tonight."

After saying that, Gu Chenglong stood up, shook hands with Xu Hansheng, and quickly walked out of Xu Hansheng's office.

Seeing that Xu Hansheng's office was constantly bustling with people since he became the section chief, Lin Mingyuan was furious.

"Damn it, that Xu guy really got away with it after one move, he's practically strutting around like a madman!"

Lin Mingyuan glanced at Gu Chenglong as he walked away, his face darkening as he said, "Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd become the county magistrate! Even Secretary Qi isn't as busy as him!"

Hearing this, Chen Ling turned to Lin Mingyuan and said, "Brother Mingyuan, say less. It wouldn't be good if Section Chief Xu heard us."

"snort!"

Lin Mingyuan snorted coldly and said, "So what if he heard that? Does he still dare to instigate literary persecution?"

After saying that, Lin Mingyuan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stormed out of the office.

Chen Ling and Wang Yu exchanged a glance, both smiling but saying nothing.

Anyone could see that Lin Mingyuan's deputy section chief position was completely wasted.

Fu Changqing only arranged for Xu Hansheng to replace Liu Guohua, but made no mention of a deputy section chief. It's possible that the research office will never have a deputy section chief again.

Lin Mingyuan was the one who suffered the most from this.

Zhao Dongxu glanced at Lin Mingyuan's back and snorted disdainfully.

What's the use of jealousy?

Who told you you weren't the section chief?

To be honest, everyone in the department knows perfectly well that Xu Hansheng has received quite a few gifts in the past two days.

Even if each person received a thousand, Xu Hansheng still made over ten thousand.

Besides, is a thousand yuan a decent sum compared to the projects the research lab is currently investigating?

What's going to be built in Longping Town isn't just a small cowshed; according to the plan, it's at least a large-scale cattle farm with supporting facilities.

There also needs to be some tourist facilities in the surrounding area.

All things considered, it's a huge project costing tens of millions.

Giving Xu Hansheng 50,000 to 80,000 yuan wouldn't be too much.

It remains to be seen whose gift Xu Hansheng will ultimately accept.

While everyone tacitly understood, they couldn't help but envy Xu Hansheng, who had already started to recoup his costs after only a few days of work.

On the other side, Lin Mingyuan, who was smoking downstairs, happened to see Gu Yuan returning from outside, so he waved to Gu Yuan and said, "Gu Yuan, come here."

Gu Yuan was taken aback at first, but when he saw it was Lin Mingyuan, he quickly walked over with a smile and said to Lin Mingyuan, "Brother Mingyuan, is something the matter?"

"Here, have a smoke."

As Lin Mingyuan spoke, he took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and handed it over.

Gu Yuan was somewhat flattered and said, "Brother Mingyuan, this... no, I..."

Normally, let alone Lin Mingyuan offering him a cigarette, even if he offered Lin Mingyuan a cigarette, he wouldn't have the chance.

Aside from Chen Ling and Wang Yu, who else has Lin Mingyuan ever given a second glance?

He didn't even respect Section Chief Liu.

But today, Lin Mingyuan was suddenly being so nice to him, and Gu Yuan was really not used to it.

"Just smoke it because I told you to!"

As Lin Mingyuan spoke, he put a cigarette in Gu Yuan's mouth, lit it for him, and then said to Gu Yuan, "You said this morning that you saw someone go into the same private room as Xu Hansheng yesterday?"

Gu Yuan took a drag of his cigarette and said, "It seems to be the female manager of that Heng something construction company, the one surnamed Miao..."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan gestured in front of his chest.

Oh shit!

Lin Mingyuan gritted his teeth secretly. He had been eyeing Miao Xiaofang for more than a day. Unfortunately, he was just a lowly clerk. How could she possibly offer herself to him?

Even if it's for Lin Weidong's sake, it's still offering oneself to Lin Weidong, and has nothing to do with him.

But the more unattainable something is, the more Lin Mingyuan desires it.

Therefore, when Lin Mingyuan heard Gu Yuan say this morning that Xu Hansheng and Miao Xiaofang came out of the same private room last night, he hated Xu Hansheng even more.

First, she got rid of his deputy section chief position, and now she's taken advantage of the woman he's long admired. This is a deep-seated hatred!

Thinking of this, Lin Mingyuan waved to Gu Yuan and said, "Gu Yuan, come here!"
