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

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan leaned closer to Lin Mingyuan, who whispered something in his ear.

"Oh? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Gu Yuan looked up at Lin Mingyuan and said, "Brother Mingyuan, if we get caught following Section Chief Xu, then..."

Lin Mingyuan frowned and said, "Gu Yuan, I know your second uncle is about to retire. Don't you want to change the chair before he does?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Mingyuan, well, I would like to, but if even you, Brother Mingyuan, couldn't do it, I wouldn't dare to even think about it."

These words were both sarcastic and meant to deflect blame.

Lin Mingyuan wanted him to follow Xu Hansheng and then tell Lin Mingyuan the results.

Before Xu Hansheng came to the research lab, Gu Yuan would have done as he was told without hesitation.

But now, things are different.

It's obvious to everyone that Lin Mingyuan is being suppressed by Xu Hansheng.

Even though he has a father who is the head of the propaganda department, he is still very passive in the department.

Gu Yuan isn't stupid. How could he possibly work for him just because he smoked one of his cigarettes?

Lin Mingyuan could naturally understand the meaning behind Gu Yuan's words. In the past, he would have already thrown a punch, but now, he had no choice but to bow his head.

Besides, there's no one else Corey could persuade besides Gu Yuan.

Thinking of this, Lin Mingyuan suppressed his anger and said to Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, think about it, how many people have gone to see Xu Hansheng in the past few days? And when Section Chief Liu was around, would he dare to call people directly into his office like this?"

this……

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Section Chief Liu wouldn't dare to be so blatant."

Everyone knows what it means when an outsider visits the office.

Back in 04, there was no such thing as a firewall.

In other words, people who give gifts generally don't go through intermediaries to contact leaders.

On the one hand, there are intermediaries relaying messages, but because the distance is too great, it's hard to guarantee that some words won't be distorted, depending on who says them or who hears them.

Furthermore, anyone capable of undertaking entire projects must possess some strength.

These powerful people are naturally different from ordinary people. Even if they do come into contact with someone, they will only do so with those who have the final say. As for middlemen, they simply don't care.

However, subsequent anti-corruption campaigns made most people afraid to be so blatant, which is why firewalls were created, providing an opportunity for intermediaries to show their faces.

Even back then, accepting bribes had to be done secretly, for fear of being seen by others.

Xu Hansheng, on the other hand, is practically practically asking for a price in public!

That's really going too far.

"Hmph, so this kid still needs more training!"

Lin Mingyuan threw away his cigarette butt, lit another one, and said to Gu Yuan, "He's only been here a few days, and he's already so blatantly accepting bribes. Do you think he can stay in this position for long?"

This……

Gu Yuan immediately understood Lin Mingyuan's meaning; he was going to report Xu Hansheng!

Although Lin Mingyuan's actions were somewhat outrageous, while the struggle was ongoing, it generally wouldn't involve Ji Wei. Therefore, unlike the municipal discipline inspection commission, the county discipline inspection commission basically had nothing to do.

If Lin Mingyuan really did that, no one could say anything about it.

After all, Xu Hansheng has attracted too much gossip!

Seeing that Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly, as if he had been persuaded, Lin Mingyuan patted Gu Yuan's shoulder and said, "The place you live is relatively close to Xu Hansheng's house, just across the street."

"If you can keep an eye on him and find out who he's been in contact with, preferably with photographic evidence, you'll be the deputy section chief when I become the section chief!"

"In our department, besides me, you're the most senior. It would be an injustice if you weren't appointed as the deputy section chief!"

Gu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Mingyuan, Chen Ling arrived half a year earlier than me..."

Lin Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Chen Ling's mind isn't on this at all. Even if you gave her a deputy section chief position, she couldn't handle it. Trust me, as long as we get rid of Xu Hansheng, that deputy section chief position will be yours!"

After Lin Mingyuan's repeated temptations, Gu Yuan finally steeled himself and said, "Okay, Brother Mingyuan, I'll listen to you. But you have to keep this a secret!"

Lin Mingyuan patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't betray you. Let's go back together!"

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and nodded, saying, "Okay, it's settled then!"

The two of them, one in front of the other, quickly returned to the research lab.

As soon as he entered, two middle-aged men in white suits came out of Xu Hansheng's office and were escorted to the door by Xu Hansheng.

Lin Mingyuan stared at Xu Hansheng's back and snorted coldly, "You bastard, you just wait!"

Xu Hansheng, however, made no attempt to hide from the gazes of the crowd.

It's quite normal for people to come and visit while I'm stationed at this strategic point.

Xu Hansheng knew that as long as he didn't cross the line, no one could do anything to him.

After all, the current research work is different from the initial research. On the one hand, it is necessary to investigate the construction party, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to put forward reasonable suggestions according to the needs.

Only then can an effective report be formed and submitted to Qi Hongchang.

In his previous life, Xu Hansheng had always worked in the water conservancy department, which was the most marginalized department. Therefore, he didn't know much about the various construction companies in Yutong County.

In the future, I will have to deal with these people many more times, and I can't possibly go on a field survey every time.

Why not take this opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation?

But to others, this move was seen as casting a wide net for targeted fishing.

It wasn't until after get off work that Chen Ling said to Tang Bing as they walked home, "Bingbing, if you're familiar with Section Chief Xu, you'd better warn him."

Tang Bing asked in surprise, "Warn him? What's wrong?"

Chen Ling glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before turning to Tang Bing and saying, "Oh dear, Sister Bingbing, you have no idea how brazen Xu Hansheng has been these past few days!"

"People are bringing him gifts every day; they're practically kicking down his doorstep!"

"Even if he wanted to accept them, he should at least do it behind someone's back. But instead, he's accepting everyone who comes his way!"

"I counted them for him today. Since Director Gu left this morning, he's received more than ten groups of people throughout the day!"

"He's only just become a junior section chief, and he's already acting like this at the lowest level. He's bound to cause a big problem sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Tang Bing couldn't help but frown. The Xu Hansheng she remembered didn't seem like this kind of person.

Moreover, is Xu Hansheng's family really that short of money?

But since it was Chen Ling who said it, it couldn't be baseless.

Thinking of this, Tang Bing took out her phone and said to Chen Ling, "Don't say anything, I'll call him!"

"That's outrageous! How could they do that? I've helped them so much!"

As she spoke, Tang Bing pulled out Xu Hansheng's phone number and dialed it directly.
