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

Lin Mingyuan and the others were taken aback when they heard this. Weren't they supposed to write a thousand-character essay to understand the spirit of Qi Hongchang's speech?

Early in the morning, they didn't even bother to collect the manuscripts and went straight to greet the representatives of Tiancheng Holdings.

"Section Chief Xu, here are my personal reflections on Secretary Qi's speech that you requested yesterday..."

As Lin Mingyuan opened his briefcase, he rubbed his slightly red eyes and handed the report to Xu Hansheng.

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Just put it on the table, no rush. You, Gu Yuan, and Jiang Tao, come with me to meet Director Tan first."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng led the way out of the office.

What kind of operation is this?

It was supposed to be submitted first thing this morning, but Xu Hansheng isn't in a hurry anymore?

Lin Mingyuan and the others exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow Xu Hansheng quickly to the main entrance on the first floor.

At this moment, Tan Zhifei was already waiting at the door, smoking a cigarette while looking at his watch.

There are less than ten minutes left until 8:30.

Why haven't the people from the central town arrived yet?

"Director Tan, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xu Hansheng led Lin Mingyuan, Gu Yuan, and Jiang Tao to Tan Zhifei, and greeted him with a smile.

When Tan Zhifei saw Xu Hansheng, his eyes almost crinkled into crescent moons with a smile. He warmly shook Xu Hansheng's hand and said, "Good morning, Section Chief Xu! Actually, I just arrived myself. Last night, I saw that everyone in your section was working overtime all night. You must have made thorough preparations, right?"

Xu Hansheng nodded heavily and said, "Director Tan, the working group headed by Comrade Lin Mingyuan has indeed made sufficient preparations."

"The Tiancheng Holdings project is one of the most important investment projects in our county, and every comrade in our department dares not slack off in the slightest."

"Don't you agree, Comrade Lin Mingyuan?"

After saying that, Xu Hansheng passed the buck directly to Lin Mingyuan.

Hearing this, Lin Mingyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on a forced smile as he said to Tan Zhifei, "Yes, Director Tan, our group spent half a month conducting careful research before we finished writing that report."

"All this hard work has led to this day."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhifei smiled but remained silent.

You put in so much effort?

How ridiculous!

While waiting for others, he chatted with security guard Zhang Yu for a while, and Tan Zhifei already had a good idea of ​​how hard Lin Mingyuan and the others had been working these past few days.

They would leave the county government compound at 9:30 or even 10 a.m. and return around 4 p.m. every day. You can imagine how they conducted their research.

The key point is that Tan Zhifei himself has also bumped into Lin Mingyuan and Robin and his group several times on his way home, their faces flushed from drinking as they came out of the restaurant.

Is this a survey?

Is this guy off to a cocktail party?

His words just now were, of course, not meant for Xu Hansheng, but for Lin Mingyuan.

If someone is reasonable, they can plead with Tan Zhifei to give them another day to check the data. He might be lenient and let Liu Zhiqiang take a walk around the county, have a meal, and buy them a day.

However, even now, Lin Mingyuan is still being stubborn.

It seems that even good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost.

Just then, leaders from various departments in the central town, led by Robin, also rushed to the entrance of the county committee compound.

"Good morning, Director Tan!"

Robin quickly stepped forward, extended his hands, shook hands with Tan Zhifei, and then introduced the cadres behind him.

Zhou Peng, director of the Central Town Land Office, Zhang Wei, director of the Industrial and Commercial Office, and heads of several relevant departments such as health, environmental protection, and forestry all stepped forward to shake hands with Tan Zhifei.

Tan Zhifei smiled and nodded, saying, "Good morning, everyone. Let's wait a few more minutes. Assistant Liu called me early this morning and asked me to meet him at the county committee gate at 8:30 a.m.

As they were talking, a black Audi A6 slowly approached and stopped in front of the county's Great Courtyard.

Tan Zhifei, Xu Hansheng, and Robin quickly went to meet them as soon as the car stopped.

"Director Tan, it's been a long time!"

Liu Zhiqiang got out of the car, warmly extended both hands to shake Tan Zhifei's hands, and greeted Tan Zhifei with a big smile.

"Assistant Liu, we've been waiting for this day for far too long. We hope that the cooperation between our county and Tiancheng Holdings can be successfully completed."

As he spoke, Tan Zhifei shook hands firmly with Liu Zhiqiang.

Liu Zhiqiang nodded heavily and said, "With such excellent leaders and staff as Director Tan and Comrade Xu Hansheng, our cooperation will definitely be successful."

"At the same time, on behalf of General Manager Du, I would also like to express my gratitude to the Yutong County Party Committee and County Government for their efforts!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Hansheng stepped forward, shook hands with Liu Zhiqiang, and said to Liu Zhiqiang, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

"You must be tired from your journey. You can just park your car in the parking lot inside our county government compound."

As he spoke, Xu Hansheng turned his head and gave the security guard a wink.

Zhang Yu instantly understood and hurriedly ran to the gate and opened the iron gate.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhiqiang thanked Xu Hansheng and said, "Okay, thank you, comrades from the county committee."

As Liu Zhiqiang started the car, Zhang Yu jogged ahead of it, guiding Liu Zhiqiang until he brought it to a complete stop. Only then did Zhang Yu salute Liu Zhiqiang and quickly run back to the guard post.

This scene was also witnessed by Qi Hongchang, who was standing at the window looking towards the entrance of the county committee.

As Zhao Haifeng poured warm water for Qi Hongchang and handed it to him, he said, "Secretary Qi, your efforts over the past three years are finally about to bear fruit. I'm also very excited..."

Qi Hongchang smiled and nodded, took the thermos, took a sip of water, and said casually, "This security guard is quite good. Is he hired on a contract?"

Zhao Haifeng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Secretary Qi, the security guards of our county committee are all under contracts with security companies. They send people to be in charge of this, and they don't have individual labor contracts with our county committee separately."

Qi Hongchang nodded slightly and said nothing more.

A dozen minutes later, after watching Xu Hansheng and the others leave the county committee compound, Qi Hongchang said to Zhao Haifeng, "Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll call you if I need anything."

Zhao Haifeng nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Secretary Qi."

After saying that, Zhao Haifeng left Qi Hongchang's office and quickly went to the security booth, asking Zhang Yu, "What's your name?"

Upon seeing that it was Secretary Qi's secretary, Zhang Yu quickly stood at attention and said, "Reporting... Reporting to Director Zhao, I... my name is Zhang Yu."

Zhao Haifeng nodded slightly and asked, "How many years have you been stationed at the county committee?"

"It's been five years."

Zhang Yu answered hastily.

Zhao Haifeng thought for a moment, then asked Zhang Yu, "How much is your monthly salary?"

Zhang Yu chuckled sheepishly and said, "My basic monthly salary is 630 yuan, and with subsidies and such, it barely reaches 800."

Zhao Haifeng nodded slightly and said to Zhang Yu, "Okay, I understand. Do your best."

After saying that, Zhao Haifeng turned around and walked back to the office building.

Not long after, Zhang Yu received a call from the company manager.

"Zhang Yu, in recognition of your outstanding performance, the company has decided to increase your salary to 1,100 yuan per month, starting next month."

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Yu was stunned for a second, then repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Manager!"

Zhang Yu was completely stunned until the other end of the phone hung up. He had been working there for five years and they had never said they would give him a raise. Was the sun rising in the west today?
