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

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Dad, the project in Longping Town is not just about raising cattle. In particular, there are wild carp and crucian carp in that naturally formed pond."

"If we build fishing spots and vacation cabins around there, then the corresponding supporting facilities must include catering."

"However, I don't think a restaurant is a good option. For a weekend getaway with the whole family, an outdoor barbecue would be ideal. We could offer whole roasted lamb and family banquets, mainly featuring barbecue and picnics. It would definitely be a rewarding experience!"

Upon hearing Xu Hansheng's words, Xu Weidong nodded repeatedly.

If you're catering to vacationers from Aoyama City, then picnics should definitely be the main option. After all, what restaurants aren't there in the city? Who would go to a small town to eat at such an expensive restaurant?

But picnics are different. They can grill the food until it's 80% cooked before selling it to tourists on vacation, and the price can be twice as high as outside.

Since we've already brought our families, who would care about spending an extra hundred or two yuan?

Thinking of this, Xu Weidong agreed and said, "That's a good idea. I'll contact them tomorrow. It shouldn't be hard to find a barbecue chef."

Afterwards, the family chatted and drank tea until 10 p.m. before going back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Xu Hansheng and Liu Zhiqiang arrived at the county committee compound. This time, Tan Zhifei led Xu Hansheng and Chen Ling to accompany Liu Zhiqiang to see the planned factory site.

In fact, Liu Zhiqiang and Xu Hansheng had already discussed it last night, so this morning's inspection was just a formality.

Before 10 a.m., Tan Zhifei and his entourage returned to the county committee compound.

After getting out of the car at the entrance, Liu Zhiqiang shook hands with Tan Zhifei and said goodbye, "Director Tan, the comrades from Yong'an County are really efficient."

"I am very satisfied with this piece of land today. I will go back to the company and report to General Manager Du on the gratifying results of this on-site inspection in Yutong County."

Tan Zhifei, all smiles, said, "Then I'll leave it to Assistant General Manager Liu. I'll report to Secretary Qi immediately. I hope General Manager Du can personally visit Yong'an County next Monday!"

Liu Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Definitely, definitely!"

After saying goodbye to Xu Hansheng and the others, Liu Zhiqiang got into his car and headed towards Qingshan City.

Only after Liu Zhiqiang's car had driven far away did Tan Zhifei turn to Xu Hansheng with satisfaction and ask, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, is your report ready?"

Xu Hansheng casually took out a report he had already written from his briefcase and handed it to Tan Zhifei, saying, "Director Tan, this is something I rushed out last night. There are still many immature parts. Please take a look and give me some pointers."

Tan Zhifei chuckled as he accepted the report, saying, "Okay, everyone go back to your offices. I'll go see Secretary Qi now."

Although Tan Zhifei didn't even glance at it, he knew in his heart that the report didn't need any revisions. Besides, Qi Hongchang was currently furious and waiting for Liu Zhiqiang's on-site investigation results.

How could he possibly have time to revise the report repeatedly?

When a leader says they're not in a hurry, they are actually very anxious and need the matter resolved immediately.

If he didn't have this awareness, he wouldn't have lasted long as the director of the county party committee office.

So Tan Zhifei took Xu Hansheng's report and quickly went to Qi Hongchang's office door, gently knocking on the door.

Qi Hongchang spent the entire morning anxiously waiting for news from Tan Zhifei.

Hearing the knock, Qi Hongchang hurriedly said, "Come in!"

Tan Zhifei pushed open the office door and handed the report written by Xu Hansheng to Qi Hongchang, saying, "Secretary Qi, this is a report that Comrade Xu Hansheng rushed to finish last night."

"Furthermore, yesterday afternoon, Comrade Xu Hansheng and Comrade Chen Ling worked until very late to correct the data. Just now, Assistant General Manager Liu and I went to conduct an on-site inspection."

"Assistant General Manager Liu is very satisfied with the land plots planned in Comrade Xu Hansheng's report and has already gone back to report to General Manager Du."

After listening to Tan Zhifei's explanation, Qi Hongchang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although there were some minor mishaps during the process, he was still quite satisfied with the final result.

Afterwards, Qi Hongchang carefully read through Xu Hansheng's report again. It contained some explicit and implicit hints about long-term planning, but these were not explicitly stated.

These are all things that Qi Hongchang is to fill in and point out.

All the major directional decisions were not something he, as a mere section chief of a research lab, should be making.

Qi Hongchang only needs to analyze and deduce the meaning of Xu Hansheng's words about the industry to turn this report into a perfect execution plan!

As he watched, Qi Hongchang nodded repeatedly in satisfaction, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, which had been gloomy since yesterday afternoon.

After reading it once, Qi Hongchang picked up his pen and made some annotations on Xu Hansheng's report before handing it to Tan Zhifei, saying, "Xu's report is very well written, but it is somewhat lacking in terms of long-term planning."

"I've already made notes and comments. Have him rewrite it. If he doesn't understand anything, he can come and ask me directly."

Tan Zhifei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Secretary Qi!"

After saying that, Tan Zhifei quickly walked out of Qi Hongchang's office.

Holding this report, Tan Zhifei's feelings were quite complicated.

Qi Hongchang just clearly stated that Xu Hansheng could ask him directly if he had any questions. This is a very clear signal.

Is it an honor for a newcomer who has only been working for two or three months to be able to meet the Party Secretary directly without going through Tan Zhifei and ask him questions?

It seems that Xu Hansheng is indeed a promising talent.

Recalling how Xu Hansheng had used a series of methods to deliver a brand-new phone to Jiang Yuling without leaving a trace, Tan Zhifei suddenly felt that his relationship with Xu Hansheng had become somewhat distant recently.

Perhaps it's time to find an opportunity to get closer to each other.

Thinking of this, Tan Zhifei did not go directly to Xu Hansheng's office, but returned to his own office first and made a phone call to Jiang Yuling.

"Zhifei!"

Jiang Yuling's voice came through the phone very quickly.

Tan Zhifei thought for a moment before saying to Jiang Yuling, "These next couple of days, try to visit Hongyunlai more often. When you're not too busy, we should also go and reciprocate by inviting Xu Weidong and his wife."

"It's best to find a reasonable reason, not one that's too abrupt, otherwise it will make everyone feel awkward."

What?

Jiang Yuling thought she had misheard. Ever since Tan Zhifei became the deputy director of the county party committee office, he had always kept his distance from Li Xiuru.

Why did they suddenly encourage her to associate with Li Xiuru more?

"Zhifei, are you free today? Didn't you say it's best not to get too close to Li Xiuru's family, afraid of what people will say?"

Jiang Yuling confirmed again.

Tan Zhifei said thoughtfully, "Times have changed!"

"Xu Hansheng is very likely to become Qi Hongchang's favorite now, so we need to get as close to him as possible. Besides, I brought him into the county committee office, so our relationship should be the closest. If someone else takes advantage of this, it will be a huge loss!"

"Anyway, it's up to you. How about next Tuesday night? After I get off work, I'll go to Hongyunlai to meet up with Xu Weidong and his wife. You can come up with a reason yourself, just make sure it's not awkward or blatant!"

After saying that, Tan Zhifei hung up the phone.
