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

Upon hearing this, Su Qing quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Uncle works in a government department, so let's not cause trouble for Uncle Xu. It doesn't matter if our family suffers a little loss. At worst, I'll just stay away from Xu Hansheng's family in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Shuai was overjoyed.

If Su Qing stops paying attention to Xu Hansheng, then wouldn't he have a chance?

Thinking of this, Xu Shuai eagerly said, "Don't worry, Xiao Qing, my dad doesn't need to personally intervene. Just have him talk to the health bureau and check their hygiene and epidemic prevention records or health certificates. That'll be enough to give them a hard time."

Hearing Xu Shuai mention this, Zhou Shujuan immediately perked up and said to Xu Shuai, "Little Xu, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. In their kitchen, there's an old woman surnamed Liu who doesn't have a health certificate. That old woman is easy to spot; she's lame in one leg, and she's the only lame one in the entire kitchen."

"Have your dad find someone, just ask her for a health certificate, that's the right thing to do. If she can't produce it, fine their family a fortune!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuai squinted and nodded, saying, "Okay! Aunt Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely help you get revenge!"

After saying that, Xu Shuai turned his head and glanced at Su Qing's ample chest, swallowed hard, and said, "Xiao Qing, I... can I ask you out to see a movie?"

As he spoke, Xu Shuai grabbed Su Qing's fair and delicate hand.

It's already 10 p.m., and the only movie theater in the county town has long since closed. At this hour, if you want to watch a movie, you can only go to a hotel or a small inn; the implication is obvious.

Actually, ever since she met Xu Hansheng in front of the Sichuan restaurant at the Prince of Shu's Mansion the day before yesterday, after comparing the two, Su Qing still felt that she preferred Xu Hansheng.

Xu Hansheng looked especially handsome and manly when he paid the bill!

It's just that Xu Hansheng is too unambitious.

If Xu Hansheng could take the initiative to admit his mistakes and beg to get back together with her, perhaps she would change her mind. However, after what happened last night, she no longer held any hope.

Now that Xu Shuai has provided money and promised to help teach Xu Hansheng's family a lesson, Su Qing thought it over and over. Since she could no longer spend Xu Hansheng's money, she had to find a backer in the county government.

Once she establishes a relationship with Xu Shuai, Xu Changqing will definitely speak to the health bureau to help her get some support.

Having figured everything out, Su Qing felt relieved and readily agreed. After saying goodbye to Zhou Shujuan, Su Qing took Xu Shuai's arm and left.

……

The next day at noon, Xu Hansheng was writing a document about attracting investment to the county, based on his experiences from his previous life, when Li Xiuru rushed up to the fourth floor, panting, and said to Xu Hansheng, "Hansheng, there's news! And it's good news!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng put down his pen and paper and looked at Li Xiuru, asking, "Mom, what's the good news? Is there some news from Tan Zhifei?"

Li Xiuru nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! You were absolutely right. I guess Jiang Yuling must have told you about your second uncle's factory relocation last night when she got home. Although Tan Zhifei didn't show up, Jiang Yuling just called me and said she wanted to invite our family to dinner tonight, and it's at our family's restaurant."

Xu Hansheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did she say what time it was tonight?"

"Six-thirty!"

Li Xiuru added, "If the secretary doesn't assign Tan Zhifei any other work, then today, if something comes up unexpectedly, Jiang Yuling will contact me around five o'clock."

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Okay, tonight's meal will mainly consist of vegetarian dishes. Also, have the kitchen prepare a ginseng soup. Just keep the price under three hundred yuan. No need to give him a discount; this is to make him repay our favor."

Li Xiuru nodded and said, "Okay, Mom will listen to you."

Even Li Xiuru didn't expect that Xu Hansheng's mouth was like it had been blessed; he had only said it last night, and Tan Zhifei had already responded by noon today.

amazing!

Even Li Xiuru couldn't understand how things could have gone so smoothly.

The key issue is Tan Zhifei's attitude; it changed too quickly. Before, even if he and Jiang Yuling had invited him to dinner, or even if Li Xiuru had the kitchen prepare a meal and invited Tan Zhifei, he wouldn't have come.

It seems that her son is indeed better than both she and Xu Weidong in this regard.

Therefore, listening to your son is definitely the right thing to do.

Li Xiuru gave a few more brief instructions and then quickly ran downstairs.

Xu Hansheng glanced at the half-finished investment promotion document, pondered it over, and decided to leave it as is. After all, he was still just a college graduate, and doing everything too perfectly would be his biggest imperfection.

Furthermore, this is Tan Zhifei's forte; as the director of the county party committee office, politics is his specialty. If someone could receive proper "guidance" from Tan Zhifei, it would certainly leave a deeper impression on him.

Then, after revising the manuscript, send it out, including Tan Zhifei's name. If it doesn't get published, so be it. But if it does get published in a newspaper in Qingshan City or the provincial newspaper, then Tan Zhifei's backing will be secure.

After making up his mind, Xu Hansheng carefully arranged the living room and then called Old Chen up.

"Hansheng, do you need a car?"

Old Chen strode into the living room, looking at Xu Hansheng with a broad smile.

"Go pick up Jiang Yuling later, but be sure to go slowly, or you can let the car break down on the road. In short, she can't get here before seven o'clock."

Xu Hansheng said calmly.

"Uh... okay."

Old Chen instinctively wanted to ask why, but then he instantly recalled what Xu Hansheng had told him that day: he was just a driver, so he shouldn't say anything and should just carry out his orders.

Therefore, Old Chen didn't ask any more questions, just responded and quickly left the living room.

After Lao Chen left, Xu Hansheng sent Li Xiuru another text message, asking her to tell Jiang Yuling that Lao Chen would be waiting for her at the entrance of their residential compound at 6:20 p.m.

Li Xiuru didn't ask any further questions and sent a text message to Jiang Yuling, just as Xu Hansheng had instructed.

After making all the necessary preparations, Xu Hansheng set an alarm for himself and then lay down on the sofa for a short nap.

At 6:25 p.m., when the alarm rang, Xu Hansheng sat up abruptly, set up an ancient chess game of "Ma Yue Tanxi" according to the chess manual, and waited quietly for Tan Zhifei's arrival.

Before long, footsteps and Xu Weidong's hearty laughter came from the other side of the stairs.

"Director Tan, the food in the kitchen will be ready soon. Please go upstairs and have some tea. I'll come and call you when the food is ready."

Tan Zhifei laughed heartily and said, "Boss Xu, you're too kind. I'll gladly accept your offer."

As they spoke, Xu Weidong and Tan Zhifei walked into the living room, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Xu Hansheng's furrowed brows and serious expression as he stared at the chessboard on the coffee table, Tan Zhifei couldn't help but curiously walk over to take a look. He chuckled and said, "Does this game even need looking? Red is guaranteed to win!"
