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

Xu Hansheng gave a few bitter laughs and said, "Director Zhang, you don't know this, I didn't want to come here to suffer like this, but I had no choice. My family has produced farmers and businessmen for generations, but no one has ever become an official."

"My parents have placed all their hopes on me since I was little, I can't let them down!"

"But then again, thank you so much for earlier!"

Zhang Tao waved his hand and said, "Section Chief Xu, you're too kind. Anyone with eyes can see that someone is just jealous of you!"

"I heard you haven't been working long hours, have you?"

Xu Hansheng nodded repeatedly, pointed to the security guard next to him, and said to Zhang Tao, "The security guard knows, but I've only been working here for two months. How would I know so much?"

"I just do whatever the boss tells me to do."

Zhang Tao, exhaling smoke, shook his head repeatedly, saying, "That's not how you do work!"

"You have to leave some room for others to survive. If you have ten parts of strength, only use six. Otherwise, if you attract the attention of petty people, that will be a huge problem!"

"He failed to report you this time, but what about next time? And the time after that?"

"I'm exhausted from constantly being on guard against him!"

Xu Hansheng repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Director Zhang. To be honest, I've been working here for almost two months, and no one has ever mentioned these things to me. Come to my house sometime when you have time. Because of Director Zhang's honesty, I've decided to make him my friend!"

Zhang Tao nodded with a smile and said, "Some other time, there's plenty of time. Anyway, just be careful of that guy surnamed Lin in your department, don't make things too awkward, but don't give him too much face either!"

"Sometimes, you can't be too nice to someone, or they'll easily take advantage of you!"

"It's like feeding a dog. Look at the dogs in the countryside, why are they never allowed to eat their fill?"

Xu Hansheng said with a beaming smile, "Oh dear, I really need to ask Director Zhang for some advice on this!"

Zhang Tao chuckled and said, "It's not really asking for advice. I've just worked a few more days and have a little experience. Think about it, if you feed a dog well, why would it need to wag its tail and beg for food and water?"

"It's already being kind of him if he doesn't even feed you a few bites!"

At this point, Zhang Tao patted Xu Hansheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this is over. Just be more careful in the future!"

After saying that, Zhang Tao glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, greeted Xu Hansheng, and quickly walked back to the office building.

Xu Hansheng watched Zhang Tao's retreating figure, secretly chuckling to himself.

Only then did the security guard beside him say to Xu Hansheng, "Xiao Xu, he's Zhang Juan's younger brother!"

"You can't get too close to this guy. He's completely open and honest, the kind of person who can't keep a secret for long. If it weren't for his good cousin, he would have been fired from his job at the Discipline Inspection Commission long ago!"

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly. Even if Zhang Yu didn't say it, he knew perfectly well that Zhang Tao was the kind of person who liked to show off. But could such a person really not be trusted?

not necessarily!

However, the methods of making friends are different.

People like this are good at flattering you and getting information out of you, but you shouldn't tell them your secrets.

Sometimes, he could even become a modern-day "Jiang Gan"!

It has great value.

"Thanks, Brother Zhang! If you hadn't reminded me, I almost fell into the ditch!"

As Xu Hansheng spoke, he handed a cigarette to security guard Zhang Yu, then took out a lighter to light it for Zhang Yu, and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhang, there's something I don't quite understand."

"Isn't Director Zhang Juan from the county government? Her brother works in the Discipline Inspection Commission; even if she wanted to help, she couldn't manage it all!"

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "You don't know this, do you? Director Zhang's in-laws are from the Organization Department of the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee. Her brother-in-law is the deputy director of the Organization Department. So, for any big or small matter, as long as Director Zhang says the word, they'll see her without hesitation. Who wouldn't give her some face?"

"Could we really afford to offend the deputy director of the Organization Department of Qingshan City over such a trivial matter? I heard that Director Zhang's wife's brother is the executive deputy director, he wields considerable power!"

Oh!

Xu Hansheng nodded to himself, thankfully his attitude towards Zhang Juan had remained unchanged, still as respectful as before.

Otherwise, Zhang Juan digging a hole for herself would be enough for him to climb out of.

"Director Zhang's brother-in-law lives in Qingshan City, why doesn't she transfer there?"

Xu Hansheng asked with a curious expression as he smoked.

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Alas, Director Zhang is also a man of hardship. He's only thirty-two this year, and he's already a widow. I think his wife was a narcotics police officer who died in the line of duty last year!"

"Director Zhang was heartbroken for quite a while. During that time, I watched her go to and from get off work every day, and her eyes were always swollen!"

Oh!

Xu Hansheng nodded heavily and said, "So that means his wife is buried in the county cemetery?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "That's right. Otherwise, last year's quota would have gone to Qingshan City. Staying in Yutong County is just about gaining experience. Couldn't they have gone to manage logistics?"

Xu Hansheng nodded heavily and said, "I see. Sigh, I must say, Director Zhang's wife is indeed a real man!"

"Director Zhang is a woman of great virtue and integrity, guarding her father's grave! She's truly admirable!"

Afterwards, Xu Hansheng chatted briefly with Zhang Yu before quickly walking back to the office building.

Lin Mingyuan was stunned when he saw Xu Hansheng return as if nothing had happened. He had taken a lot of photos, so how could Xu Hansheng possibly come back?

He rubbed his eyes carefully again and saw that it was indeed Xu Hansheng. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This must be a ghost!"

Not only was Lin Mingyuan shocked, but Chen Ling, Wang Yu, and others were also taken aback.

How come Xu Hansheng is alright after only half a day?

It's simply a miracle!

Gu Yuan looked at Xu Hansheng, his expression turning rather unpleasant.

Xu Hansheng is fine now, but he offended two people at once!

Putting aside whether Xu Hansheng can find out that he took the photos, Lin Mingyuan alone will not let him off easily.

If Xu Hansheng is alright, then someone else must be in trouble.

The problem is, those photos he took are all very clear, so how did Xu Hansheng get out?

Xu Hansheng glanced at the astonished crowd and smiled, "Don't be surprised, everyone. I just went to the Discipline Inspection Commission to cooperate with their work."

"Secretary Qi should be back in the next day or two, so everyone should hurry up and finish their work..."

At this point, Xu Hansheng glanced at Zhao Dongxu's location and asked, "Where is Zhao Dongxu?"

"Section Chief Xu, Zhao Dongxu left after you left."

Chen Ling raised her head and answered truthfully.

Xu Hansheng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, it's alright, everyone get back to work!"

After saying that, Xu Hansheng walked back to his office.

After turning on the computer, I checked carefully to see if any police officers in Yutong County had died in the line of duty in the past two years.

However, no information was found at all.

Come to think of it, the deaths of anti-drug officers in the line of duty are kept secret unless they have no family members left, in which case the information will be made public.

After thinking it over, Xu Hansheng made a phone call to Du Xinyang.

"Brother Xu!"

Upon receiving Xu Hansheng's call, Du Xinyang's voice changed with excitement.
