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

Liu Zhiqiang looked up at Xu Hansheng but did not answer immediately. Instead, he secretly pondered how feasible Xu Hansheng's words were.

Currently, the company has three vice presidents, each with their own responsibilities.

Liu Zhiqiang, as the general assistant, serves as a lubricant between the three of them and General Manager Du. At the same time, he is also a reserve force. If any other projects come up, Liu Zhiqiang will occasionally have to take on a leadership role.

Although Tiancheng Holdings has decided to build a branch factory in Yutong County, it is impossible for them to put a large amount of production capacity in Yutong County from the beginning.

In other words, it's a very unremarkable little cake.

If Yutong Bus can really build a branch factory here as Xu Hansheng said, or bring in one-third of the design department staff, then what Xu Hansheng said might actually become a reality!

While I'm not 100% certain, I'm at least 70% sure!

Perhaps it's worth a try. If what Xu Hansheng said comes true, buying a villa will be no problem at all!

After pondering for a good ten minutes, Liu Zhiqiang suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly at Xu Weimin, saying, "President Xu, you really do have a good nephew!"

"I'll give this matter serious consideration when I get back. Cheers!"

After saying this, Liu Zhiqiang picked up his teacup, clinked glasses with Xu Hansheng and his nephew Xu Weimin, and drank it all in one gulp.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Hansheng led Liu Zhiqiang to a guest room on the fourth floor and said to Liu Zhiqiang, "Uncle Liu, please make do here for the night. If you need anything, just call me anytime."

Looking at the guest room, which was only twenty or thirty square meters and even had its own bathroom, Liu Zhiqiang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Nephew, you're too kind. This is already very good!"

After saying that, Liu Zhi walked into the room, closed the door, and went to bed to rest.

Xu Hansheng lingered at the door for a while before quickly walking back to the private room.

At this moment, Xu Weidong and Li Xiuru, a married couple, were also sitting around in the private room, with several kinds of dried fruit and pastries on the table.

The group chatted and drank tea while eating snacks.

Only after Xu Hansheng returned did Xu Weimin say with a serious expression, "By the way, Hansheng, we weren't finished talking earlier. You had Liu Zhiqiang complain about Lin Mingyuan in front of Secretary Qi. Didn't that indirectly offend Lin Weidong?"

"I'm worried, what if he..."

Xu Hansheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "There's no 'what if'!"

"The reason Secretary Qi attaches such importance to Tiancheng Holdings' project is because Tiancheng Holdings can drive an entire industrial chain to relocate here!"

"Yutong Bus is just one example. There are other upstream and downstream companies involved. After seeing the dealings between Yutong Bus and Tiancheng Holdings, is there really no one tempted?"

"Even though we're already in a working relationship, or perhaps we've long admired each other in the industry, seeing each other all the time is the best way to communicate!"

"Think of how many jobs the county will create then! That's a real achievement. Even if Lin Weidong had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to sabotage Tiancheng Holdings' project!"

Xu Weimin took a deep breath and said thoughtfully, "What you said makes some sense, but you yourself just said that Lin Weidong is the real threat, but all the blame is being placed on Lin Mingyuan, so we can't touch Lin Weidong at all. What will happen then...?"

Xu Weimin stopped there.

He also didn't want Xu Hansheng to be kicked out of the county by Lin Weidong like that.

During this period, Xu Weimin did indeed enjoy the benefits brought by Xu Hansheng's work in the county party committee office.

The relevant leaders of several key departments paid close attention to his factory and provided him with a lot of assistance.

As for the incident involving the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau, it was purely a pre-arranged play.

After all, Xu Weimin's factory hasn't been built yet, so it doesn't matter when the permits are approved.

Since Xu Hansheng has this need, Xu Weimin can cooperate with him without really losing anything.

Xu Hansheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Second Uncle, you don't understand the ways of officialdom very well."

"Because of Lin Weidong, Lin Mingyuan will always represent not only himself, but also him and Lin Weidong."

"The bigger the mistake he made, the more unforgivable it was, and the more Qi Hongchang would resent Lin Weidong. People who are disliked by Secretary Qi will not have a good time."

"County Magistrate Lin Hanlong is a prime example. If I'm not mistaken, this time Lin Hanlong will not only lose his position, but he might also face imprisonment!"

"If Lin Weidong were smart, seeing Lin Mingyuan being condemned by everyone, he should have considered his own way out. Giving up the position of propaganda minister would have been his only and best option."

Xu Weidong frowned and asked, "Hansheng, are you really confident about this?"

"If anything goes wrong, you know our family's situation; we won't be able to help you at all!"

Xu Hansheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Dad, don't worry, there won't be any mistakes. What's the point of keeping Secretary Qi around if he's made to lose face like this?"

"For someone who is utterly useless to their leader and repeatedly sabotages them at crucial moments, being marginalized is the best outcome!"

"Do you guys remember what I said to Xiao Kai before?"

"The way to be an official is first and foremost to be someone useful to your superiors. Only then does it come down to personal relationships with them. If you can't even do the first thing, even if Lin Weidong offered up his entire fortune, Qi Hongchang wouldn't show him any mercy!"

Xu Weidong and Xu Weimin exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know where Xu Hansheng's confidence came from, judging from Xu Hansheng's steady progress and his rapid rise to the position of head of the research lab in just two or three months, what Xu Hansheng said was definitely not unfounded.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, we'll fully support you! Whatever the outcome, even if you leave the county committee, you can always come back and take care of the family business!"

Xu Weidong said with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, there's something you need to prepare for in advance."

what?

Xu Weidong's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Xu Hansheng, asking, "What is it?"

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Dad, don't be nervous. I'm talking about our restaurant. Can you think of a way to hire an experienced barbecue chef from Qingshan City or other big cities?"

"Also, we need to find a way to reconnect with suppliers of fresh beef and mutton. It won't be long before it comes in very useful."

Xu Weidong pondered for a while before frowning and saying, "Barbecue chefs are easy to find, but our family runs a restaurant and doesn't do barbecue, so why would we need to contact them?"
