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

Xu Hansheng stared blankly at Qi Hongchang, as if the distant scene Qi Hongchang had described was already appearing before his eyes!

Although all of this was already in Xu Hansheng's mind, an expression of admiration still appeared on his face.

That gaze was sincere and full of emotion!

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, after Qi Hongchang finished speaking, that Xu Hansheng said with admiration, "Secretary Qi, your analysis has truly broadened my horizons!"

"Now I understand. My perspective was too narrow. I only thought about how many jobs Tiancheng Holdings' factory would create after it was completed, and I didn't realize that Tiancheng Holdings and my second uncle's factory had already formed the initial industrial cluster!"

"Listening to Secretary Qi's words has truly benefited me greatly. I now know where my problems lie, and I will go back and correct them immediately!"

"If there's nothing else, I won't disturb Secretary Qi's work any longer!"

Qi Hongchang smiled and nodded, saying, "After all, you just graduated from university, so your thinking is limited in both breadth and depth. However, the fact that you can consider talent reserves and industrial support already puts you ahead of the vast majority."

"Go back and think about it carefully. Broaden your horizons. The bigger your heart, the bigger your stage."

Xu Hansheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Secretary Qi! You have really broadened my horizons. After listening to what you just said, I realized that the book knowledge I learned in college was too dogmatic."

"If there is an opportunity, I would like you to give a public speech at my alma mater. It would be very inspiring to my younger schoolmates."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hongchang couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha... Little Xu, you flatter me too much. How can I be compared to a university professor?"

Xu Hansheng looked directly into Qi Hongchang's eyes and said very seriously, "Secretary Qi, you are too modest. Actually, the knowledge in books is all correct, isn't it?"

"However, if a theory is divorced from practice, even those who have been engaged in research for many years have not personally put it into practice. Once a theory is separated from practice, it becomes empty talk."

"And you not only have rich practical experience, but you also preside over the work of a large county with a population of 700,000 to 800,000. At all times, you are thinking about the people's livelihood and well-being of the entire county."

"Considering your many years of experience in overseeing the county's economic work, I'm afraid few professors can match your vision and foresight when it comes to discussing economic issues from a practical standpoint!"

Ah!

Faced with Xu Hansheng's psychological reassurance, even Qi Hongchang himself felt that it seemed to make sense.

After all, he was in charge of a large county with hundreds of thousands of people.

My theoretical knowledge may not be as good as those professors, but my practical skills are definitely not a problem!

The more Qi Hongchang thought about it, the more he felt that although Xu Hansheng, this young comrade, had limitations in the breadth and scope of his understanding of issues, his depth of understanding of issues was absolutely no problem!

This is a young man with very profound thoughts!

"Hmm, maybe."

Qi Hongchang said calmly, "Go ahead and get busy, but be sure to do it as soon as possible. The county leaders are waiting!"

"Yes, Secretary Qi!"

Xu Hansheng bowed slightly, as if serving a teacher, and with both hands he held the report, backing away from Qi Hongchang's office.

Even Qi Hongchang could easily see that Xu Hansheng's respect was absolutely genuine, and fundamentally different from the sycophancy of others.

Xu Hansheng took a deep breath only after leaving Qi Hongchang's office.

To be honest, since he became the governor in his previous life, he hadn't systematically flattered anyone like this in a long time.

However, judging from Qi Hongchang's reaction just now, and from the things he said, he has a lot of respect and admiration for the academic community.

If we can really convince his alma mater to invite Qi Hongchang to give a speech or a talk to all the teachers and students, it might actually open his heart!

But for Xu Hansheng, this was indeed not an easy task.

There are too many hurdles to overcome along the way; we have to take it one step at a time!

Having made up his mind, Xu Hansheng quickly walked back to his office.

It wasn't until after lunch break that Xu Hansheng handed the revised report to Tan Zhifei.

I just went to consult Qi Hongchang, and I was able to bypass Tan Zhifei because Qi Hongchang gave me special permission.

But now, it's a task assigned by superiors, so I can no longer bypass Qi Hongchang.

Reporting to Qi Hongchang directly, especially skipping ahead to him, is absolutely a major taboo.

Tan Zhifei took the report from Xu Hansheng and said with a smile, "Very good. I'll go report to Secretary Qi right away."

After saying that, the two walked out of the office one after the other.

For some reason, Qi Hongchang found Xu Hansheng's report pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

It was as if every word had touched his heart.

After reviewing the report two or three times, Qi Hongchang handed it to Tan Zhifei and said, "Make several copies. This afternoon, convene a temporary work meeting for the entire county!"

"One copy for every leader in relevant departments at the deputy section chief level or above!"

Tan Zhifei responded and quickly left Qi Hongchang's office.

Although the Standing Committee meeting was held yesterday afternoon, the content of the meeting was somewhat demoralizing!

The purpose of this afternoon's meeting is to tell everyone in the county that everyone's efforts are finally about to bear fruit. At the same time, it is also to encourage everyone that as long as we follow in his footsteps, we will definitely reap gratifying results!

Even without Lin Hanlong, Yutong County continues to thrive!

Most importantly, the Tiancheng Holdings investment project was successfully completed without the county head presiding over the county government's work, thanks to the close cooperation between the county party committee research office and various bureaus.

At the same time, it also served as a stark slap in the face to Lin Hanlong's statement that "the commission office is all talk and no action, while the government office is all action and no action!"

Without your County Government Office, the County Party Committee Office took over Tiancheng Holdings in less than a month. Who is pursuing empty talk and who is pursuing practical matters needs to be debated, but the facts are right in front of us!

This is not only for the county to see, but also for Qingshan City and Handong Province to see that he, as the county party secretary, is not only good at party building, but also good at developing the economy!

At 2 p.m. that day, the meeting room on the third floor of the county committee was packed. The members of the county committee standing committee, headed by Qi Hongchang, were also seated in front of the rostrum on time.

Nearly a hundred people, including cadres at the section chief level or above from the two general offices, as well as the main leaders of various townships and the directors and deputy directors of various bureaus, were seated below the rostrum.

First, Deputy Secretary Jiang Hua read out the main theme of the meeting, and then Qi Hongchang announced the good news that the Tiancheng Holdings project was about to be implemented.

Then, Xu Hansheng's report was read aloud to the public, and Qi Hongchang himself was added to express his high expectations and hopes for the future.

Finally, Deputy Secretary Jiang Hua reiterated the county party committee's requirements for all units to work pragmatically and efficiently.

Then, Jiang Hua abruptly changed the subject, addressing the audience: "What happened yesterday must serve as a warning, especially for the core departments of the county party committee and county government. They must clearly understand their responsibilities and obligations!"

"Such incidents must be prevented from happening again!"

"Section Chief Xu, is there anything you'd like to say?"

As he spoke, Jiang Hua turned to look at Xu Hansheng with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng's heart skipped a beat, and the siege officially began!
