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

On the surface, how could Gu Chenglong, a section-level cadre, bow to Xu Hansheng, a mere section-level official, in the presence of all the county's leading cadres?

But in reality, Gu Chenglong's bow was not for Xu Hansheng, but to humiliate Lin Weidong in front of everyone in the county!

Gu Chenglong, who had just invited Ge Yingchun to dinner with Xu Hansheng, bowed and apologized because of Lin Mingyuan's report against Xu Hansheng.

What is this?

That's vision!

As the head of the investment promotion agency, he wields great power, yet he manages to do this. What does that say about him?

Qi Hongchang has a keen eye for talent. The people he promotes are approachable, down-to-earth, and extremely humble, even towards a section-level cadre.

On the other hand, what about Lin Weidong?

What does it mean that there is no harm without comparison?

Even though this was done by your son, Lin Weidong, shouldn't you at least offer some thanks?

In such a large meeting room, and now that the next Standing Committee member is being discussed, if Lin Weidong were to stand up and apologize to Xu Hansheng at this moment, wouldn't that show a lack of respect for his position?

But if you don't take action, that's narrow-minded.

In comparison, Lin Weidong is at a disadvantage in terms of character.

Whoosh!

As Gu Chenglong bowed, thunderous applause immediately erupted around him.

Although you bend over, your character instantly improves!

Most importantly, Gu Chenglong's bow was entirely justified; Xu Hansheng hadn't taken a single penny from that file folder.

According to the rules, everyone who sees it should get a share.

But Xu Hansheng not only didn't take a single penny, he also made an exact copy of the file and sent it to the Discipline Inspection Commission the next day.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a selfless spirit of benefiting others at all costs!

Gu Chenglong also greatly admired Xu Hansheng for this.

In other words, from that moment on, Gu Chenglong and Xu Hansheng had formed an ironclad alliance!

No matter what, Gu Chenglong must protect Xu Hansheng!

After all, he was the only witness!

At this moment, even Lin Mingyuan, who was sitting next to Xu Hansheng, was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Hasn't that matter already been settled?

What does Gu Chenglong mean by this?

Before he could even react, Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Director Gu, you flatter me. Actually, it was thanks to that opportunity that I was fortunate enough to gain Secretary Zhou's approval!"

"As a grassroots cadre, I feel that gaining the approval of Secretary Qi and then Secretary Zhou is something I am very proud of!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Hansheng also stood up and bowed to Qi Hongchang and Zhou Kaibin on the stage.

Qi Hongchang smiled and gestured for them to stop, saying, "Alright, let's move on to the next comrade, Li Kaishan, the Party Secretary of Xingping Town!"

After saying that, Qi Hongchang looked at Jiang Hua again.

"I have no objection!"

Jiang Hua directly passed the buck to Zhou Kaibin.

Zhou Kaibin followed the same approach, seemingly pointing out a whole host of problems with Li Kaishan, but they were all actually lifestyle issues, such as neglecting personal health and always rushing to the front lines!

Commanders should be stationed at the central command to ensure victory, and this should not be repeated.

What appears to be criticism is actually a critique from a critical perspective, while praising the person to the extreme.

But when it came to Robin, Zhou Kaibin was no longer polite. He frowned and said, "I reserve my opinion on Comrade Robin!"

"In the past month, we've received several letters of complaint about Comrade Robin. Although the contents haven't been verified yet, Comrade Robin, this should be taken seriously!"

"In our daily work, we must pay attention to our methods and approaches, especially when communicating with the general public. We must try our best to remain calm and composed!"

It seems that Zhou Kaibin's words were not very harsh.

However, compared to Gu Chenglong and Li Kaishan, his words to Robin were not mere criticism but genuine praise.

Instead, they gave Robin a real slap on the wrist.

This can be considered a major trend.

The people attending the meeting were all shrewd and intelligent, and almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Robin.

Robin himself felt like he was walking on thin ice.

Now, his patron Lin Hanlong's fate is uncertain, and Zhou Kaibin has publicly slapped him. The meaning is very clear: he's forcing him to make a statement!

Robin hurriedly stood up and said to Zhou Kaibin, "Secretary Zhou, Secretary Qi, and other leaders, I have indeed made some mistakes in my past work!"

"I was bewitched, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and mistook people for others. That's why I kept making mistakes at work!"

"Fortunately, I have a good leader like Secretary Zhou who pointed out the shortcomings in my work and made me realize that before doing anything, I must first understand the people involved, and then do the work, so that I can move forward step by step!"

"I would also like to make a statement to Secretary Qi here: I promise that from today onwards, I will change course, draw a clear line between myself and my past self, and move forward steadily in the direction Secretary Qi has indicated!"

"I will never repeat the same mistake!"

After saying this, Robin bowed deeply to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, it was my own fault for not being discerning enough, which has brought shame to the county committee, the county government, and the central town. I have let down Secretary Qi and the organization's trust in me!"

"I assure everyone here that I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future!"

After saying that, Robin returned to his original position, trembling with fear.

Xu Hansheng narrowed his eyes and sized up Robin. He really was a talent.

Before there was any news from Lin Hanlong, Robin told everyone that he had been blind to have followed Lin Hanlong.

Now, he has realized his mistake and is going to follow in Qi Hongchang's footsteps.

The problem is, even if he feeds a dog, he still has to guard the house, right?

If the owner has just been injured by a bad guy, and the dog turns around and bites the owner, who would take in such a dog?

They really are asking for trouble!

If he remains silent, or only admits his mistake regarding the whistleblower report, the problem is not yet serious.

However, Robin used too much force.

Not only did Zhou Kaibin's brows furrow slightly, but Qi Hongchang's expression also turned very unpleasant.

Even Robin himself probably didn't realize that it was because he used too much force that Qi Hongchang and Zhou Kaibin simultaneously realized that Robin might really have a big problem!

Otherwise, why would he do that?

The next second, Zhou Kaibin and Qi Hongchang exchanged a glance. At that moment, their inner thoughts were self-evident.

Kill the chicken!

A warning to the monkey!

A gift!

One Robin can serve as a deterrent and also show the provincial party committee that, in order to ensure the successful implementation of the rural ranch project and prevent the province's funds from being misused or embezzled, Qi Hongchang has been strictly enforcing party conduct and integrity since he returned to the county!

Isn't this just handing over a kill?

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Shang Luobin became the town's Party Secretary through connections, and now he's being used as a sacrifice because of those connections!
