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

Zhou Kaibin thought for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Well, in principle, it's not allowed, but since it's a borrowing..."

At this point, Zhou Kaibin handed the detailed statistics directly to Fu Changqing.

In principle, it is not allowed, but in practice, it is.

As long as Fu Changqing doesn't make a fuss, borrowing a little information is of course no problem.

Fu Changqing naturally understood Zhou Kaibin's meaning: the county party committee office could not use this statistical list to investigate Lin Mingyuan's false accusation, but it could handle the matter seriously through the county party committee.

In other words, this matter can only be suppressed until Qi Hongchang returns, and then reported to him.

As for how to handle it in the end, that depends on Qi Hongchang's decision.

At the same time, Zhou Kaibin did not want to offend Lin Weidong over such a trivial matter.

After all, this was done by Lin Mingyuan and had nothing to do with Lin Weidong. If Lin Mingyuan was dealt with directly through Zhou Kaibin without going through Qi Hongchang, then Zhou Kaibin was intentionally targeting Lin Weidong.

There's really no need for him to get into trouble over such a trivial matter.

Fu Changqing thanked Zhou Kaibin and then quickly left Zhou Kaibin's office.

Upon arriving at Jiang Hua's office, Fu Changqing carefully organized his thoughts before knocking on the door.

"Please come in!"

Jiang Hua said in a low voice.

Fu Changqing pushed open the door to Jiang Hua's office, stepped forward, handed the statistical details in his hand to Jiang Hua, and frowned slightly, saying, "Secretary Jiang, the matter has been basically investigated and clarified."

"Last night, Comrade Xu Hansheng did accept something from Ge Yingchun, but it wasn't money; it was construction drawings and a detailed breakdown of construction costs."

"This is the data that Secretary Zhou has already compiled. Please take a look, Secretary Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua took the statistical details from Fu Changqing's hand, glanced at them briefly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Then, with a gloomy expression, he said, "In other words, Comrade Xu Hansheng had dinner with Ge Yingchun yesterday for work-related matters."

"His purpose was to complete the tasks assigned to him by the organization, not to solicit or accept bribes, right?"

Fu Changqing sighed and nodded, saying, "That's right, Comrade Xu Hansheng was indeed wholeheartedly dedicated to his work and to completing the tasks assigned by Secretary Qi, which is why..."

snort!

Jiang Hua snorted coldly, interrupting Fu Changqing's next half sentence. From the beginning, he had already realized that Fu Changqing intended to downplay the matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Xu Hansheng had indeed accepted Ge Yingchun's gifts.

The implication is that they want to treat this as a misunderstanding and resolve it internally within the county party committee office.

Although Fu Changqing and Lin Weidong are close friends despite their age difference, other people are not far removed from Lin Weidong either.

Being a good person isn't so easy.

The problem is that Lin Mingyuan's actions this time, regardless of who he was targeting, have seriously angered Jiang Hua.

This made many cadres who had contact with Ge Yingchun feel extremely embarrassed.

If this kind of thing isn't investigated, how can we allow it to go unpunished?

This time, Xu Hansheng reacted tactfully, preventing a major upheaval. If he is unprepared next time, who will bear the consequences?

This is not just a case of Jiang Hua's interests being harmed; it affects far too many people.

"I always thought Comrade Lin Mingyuan was a good comrade with a strong sense of justice and excellent work style. However, this incident shows that we have seriously lacked investigation and understanding of grassroots cadres and the staff of various departments in our county party committee office!"

At this point, Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow and said casually, "I've also heard some rumors circulating in the research lab before, all saying that Lin Mingyuan is the next deputy section chief!"

"Whoever the source of these rumors is, we need to take them seriously. The organization has not issued any such appointment. Spreading rumors and causing unrest will have an extremely negative impact on our work!"

"Furthermore, it will shake the original aspirations of some comrades and is extremely detrimental to unity. If there hadn't been the aforementioned rumors, would Comrade Lin Mingyuan have arbitrarily reported a good cadre who worked wholeheartedly and diligently without conducting a thorough investigation?"

"As the director of the commission's office, Director Fu should focus on the ideological work of each department, and, in cooperation with the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission, not only clear Comrade Xu Hansheng's name but also give everyone an explanation regarding the false accusation!"

At this point, Jiang Hua changed the subject, frowning as he said, "Of course, without Secretary Qi present, we can't make a hasty decision. Let's investigate this matter discreetly and report back to Secretary Qi when he returns!"

After speaking, Jiang Hua handed the statistical details back to Fu Changqing.

Holding the detailed statistics in his hand, Fu Changqing could only sigh deeply. This time, Lin Weidong was completely finished.

Jiang Hua never intended to let Lin Weidong off the hook.

To put it bluntly, chasing after Lin Mingyuan is just chasing after Lin Weidong.

If anyone is to blame, it's Lin Weidong's poor upbringing. How could Lin Mingyuan dare to make such a big decision on his own?

Thinking of this, Fu Changqing could only sigh and say, "Alright, then we'll work according to Secretary Jiang's instructions. I'll definitely investigate the whole matter before Secretary Qi returns."

After saying that, Fu Changqing walked out of Jiang Hua's office somewhat dejectedly.

After returning the investigation details to Zhou Kaibin, Fu Changqing pondered for a long time before making a phone call to Lin Weidong.

A short while later, Lin Weidong's voice came from the other end of the line: "Director Fu, is there something you need?"

Fu Changqing was silent for a few seconds before saying to Lin Weidong, "Let's have a small get-together at my place tonight!"

After saying that, Fu Changqing hung up the phone.

Some things can't be said over the phone, especially since he's using an office phone. If someone overhears, the consequences could be serious.

This can only be considered as his last small favor to Lin Weidong before his retirement.

On the other side, as Xu Hansheng walked out of the Discipline Inspection Commission carrying a thick stack of documents, the discipline inspection cadre surnamed Zhang followed him out and said to Xu Hansheng, "Section Chief Xu, let me help you carry these. How can one person carry so many?"

Xu Hansheng repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you. May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Tao!"

Zhang Tao said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Director Zhang! I really wouldn't know what to do on my own!"

Xu Hansheng thanked Zhang Tao as he walked downstairs.

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then followed Xu Hansheng to the main gate.

Before long, an Audi A4 slowly pulled up in front of the door. Xu Hansheng put all the documents into the back seat before saying to Master Chen, "Put all these things back in my room, don't mix them up!"

"OK!"

Master Chen responded and started the car, heading towards the direction Hongyun came from.

Watching the car drive away, Xu Hansheng took out a cigarette and offered one to Zhang Tao, saying, "Director Zhang, have a smoke."

Zhang Tao glanced at the Yuxi cigarettes Xu Hansheng offered, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Thank you, Section Chief Xu!"

While smoking, Zhang Tao said to Xu Hansheng, "Section Chief Xu, with your family background, there's really no need for you to come all the way to the General Office to suffer this hardship and torment, is there?"
