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

Soon, Xu Hansheng and Tan Zhifei arrived at Fu Changqing's office.

"Director Fu, hello!"

Xu Hansheng greeted Fu Changqing.

Tan Zhifei stepped forward and said to Fu Changqing, "Director Fu, I've spoken with Section Chief Xu about Comrade Lin Mingyuan's job transfer, but Section Chief Xu is indeed facing some practical difficulties!"

After saying that, Tan Zhifei turned to look at Xu Hansheng.

Xu Hansheng stepped forward with a smile and said to Fu Changqing, "Director Fu, first of all, I don't think Comrade Lin Mingyuan has made any major mistakes."

"Moreover, the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission have already proven my innocence. This matter was a misunderstanding from beginning to end, and there is really no need to transfer Comrade Lin Mingyuan to another position."

"Furthermore, Comrade Lin Mingyuan participated in the research work in Longping Town, and the Tiancheng Holdings project should be implemented in the near future."

"As you know, our research lab is indeed short-staffed, and Comrade Lin Mingyuan has always held an important position. He is capable of leading a research team on his own."

"My idea is that after Secretary Qi returns, the research office will be divided into two independent groups to investigate two projects respectively. If Comrade Lin Mingyuan stays in the department, he can serve as the temporary leader of one of the groups."

"Without Comrade Lin Mingyuan's help, I really wouldn't be able to handle everything on my own, Director Fu. Perhaps I haven't considered the issue from a broader perspective, but this is indeed a real difficulty our department faces!"

"We hope that the organization can consider transferring Comrade Lin Mingyuan to another position after these two projects are successfully implemented."

These words put even Fu Changqing in a difficult position.

No one can say for sure when these two projects will be implemented. If, as Xu Hansheng said, a department needs to be divided into two groups, the lack of a group leader will indeed seriously affect the progress of the work.

Besides, he only owed Lin Weidong a favor, not his life.

With his retirement approaching, it was really not worth risking offending Qi Hongchang by forcing Xu Hansheng to transfer Lin Mingyuan away at this time.

Thinking of this, Fu Changqing nodded slightly and said, "What Section Chief Xu said makes a lot of sense. I think we should do as Section Chief Xu suggests!"

After saying that, Fu Changqing waved to Tan Zhifei and Xu Hansheng.

As for Lin Mingyuan's fate, that's no longer Fu Changqing's concern. He earned his own suffering; as an adult, he should learn to pay the price for his choices!

Soon after Xu Hansheng and Tan Zhifei left the office, Tan Zhifei gave Xu Hansheng a few instructions and then told him to go back.

Back in the research lab, Xu Hansheng thought for a moment and said to Chen Ling, "Comrade Chen Ling, come to my office."

Chen Ling quickly stood up and said, "Okay, Section Chief Xu!"

Entering the office, Xu Hansheng sat back down at his desk, gestured to the chair opposite him, and said to Chen Ling, "Comrade Chen Ling, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Section Chief Xu!"

Chen Ling walked over to the chair and sat down.

Xu Hansheng pondered for a moment before saying to Chen Ling, "Comrade Chen Ling, for the next period of time, you and Comrade Lin Mingyuan will switch positions."

"Currently, there is too much work to do, so it may be necessary to divide into smaller groups to carry out the work separately. Comrade Lin Mingyuan is very experienced, so having him organize the meetings is beneficial, partly because he has some research data and results that will make it easier to explain to the leaders."

"On the other hand, Comrade Lin Mingyuan has been somewhat down lately, and his enthusiasm for work is not very high. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, we will have to ask you to make do for a while."

"After the two projects in the county are finalized, you can return to your original post. I wonder if Comrade Chen Ling has any objections?"

Hearing this, Chen Ling was overjoyed.

She had been thinking about promoting spiritual civilization for a long time and had begged Tang Bing several times, but Tang Bing always refused to her face. This time, she didn't need to ask anyone to plead for her and she could just lie down and relax!

"Thank you, Section Chief!"

Chen Ling's face beamed with joy as she said to Xu Hansheng, "Section Chief, I have no objections. If possible, I'd like to continue being in charge of promoting ethical and cultural progress!"

This was an outcome Xu Hansheng hadn't anticipated. He had been worried that he would need to work on Chen Ling.

Unexpectedly, they were more than happy to accept it.

But no matter what Chen Ling's attitude is, we can't let the daughter of the propaganda minister work on spiritual civilization for the rest of her life, can we?

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "Comrade Chen Ling, don't worry. As long as the county's project is successfully implemented, I will seriously consider your job position."

The so-called serious consideration was, in fact, a way of rejecting Chen Ling's request.

But how could Chen Ling possibly understand what Xu Hansheng, this old fox, meant in his words?

She thought Xu Hansheng had agreed to her request, and clapped her hands excitedly, saying to him, "Thank you, Section Chief Xu!"

"If there's nothing else, I... I'll go back to work now!"

Xu Hansheng coughed lightly and said to Chen Ling, "Comrade Chen Ling, wait a moment!"

"Comrade Lin Mingyuan still harbors some resentment. I'm worried that his direct appointment by the department might lead him to have other ideas."

"How about this: we'll have a department meeting later, and Comrade Chen Ling can bring up the idea of ​​switching positions with Comrade Lin Mingyuan. Is that alright?"

It's not that Xu Hansheng can't directly announce the job adjustment, but if he says it, it's too easy to arouse suspicion.

Lin Mingyuan had just reported him to the Discipline Inspection Commission, but Xu Hansheng not only did not retaliate, but instead promoted Lin Mingyuan.

This is illogical!

Something unusual must be going on. Whether Lin Mingyuan believed Xu Hansheng's magnanimity or not, Lin Weidong would never believe it to be true.

In a game of strategy, all aspects must be considered.

We can't just look at Lin Mingyuan.

His strategist was Lin Weidong, and Xu Hansheng was actually playing a game of chess with Lin Weidong from afar.

Then we'll need to add a bit more acting skills and some shocking revelations.

Of course, Chen Ling's move wasn't a bombshell, but merely an appetizer to make everything seem logical.

After all, she was also from the Publicity Department, and the daughter of Vice Minister Chen. It was only natural that Xu Hansheng would agree to her request for a job rotation in public, out of respect for Vice Minister Chen.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be offending Vice Minister Chen?

Without a second thought, Chen Ling nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Section Chief Xu, I'll bring it up myself during the meeting later!"

Xu Hansheng nodded slightly and said, "Alright, Comrade Chen Ling, you are a very meticulous, kind, and innocent girl. I think it's best if Comrade Lin Mingyuan doesn't know about our conversation."

"Would you be willing to keep our little secret together?"

what?

Chen Ling looked at Xu Hansheng with a surprised expression and said, "Section Chief Xu, it was clearly you who took care of him, why can't you say so?"
