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

Qian Shujie sighed and advised, "Oh dear, let's talk about it when we get home. This is a hospital, there are too many people around."

After saying that, he led Lin Weidong toward the ultrasound examination area.

On the other side, after getting off work, Xu Hansheng went directly to the entrance of a supermarket, which was 100 meters away from the county government compound.

At this moment, Gu Chenglong was already waiting in the supermarket.

Upon seeing Xu Hansheng, Gu Chenglong came out with the two packs of cigarettes he had just bought. He handed one pack to Xu Hansheng and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, here you go."

Xu Hansheng glanced at the cigarettes Gu Chenglong handed him, smiled and took them, then opened the car door and said to Gu Chenglong, "Mr. Gu, let's go."

Gu Chenglong nodded and climbed into the back seat.

After Xu Hansheng got into the car, he said to the driver, Lao Chen, "Drive, to Qingshan City."

As the car slowly started moving, Xu Hansheng tore open the cigarette pack, took out one, handed it to Gu Chenglong, and then lit one for himself.

While smoking, Xu Hansheng turned to Gu Chenglong and said, "Director Gu, what's the purpose of President Ge's dinner party today...?"

Gu Chenglong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Xu, don't feel guilty. It's just a meeting to get to know each other. After all, we'll be dealing with each other a lot in the future."

"After all, Mr. Ge is a businessman. Businessmen like to pave the way for themselves. It's easier to get things done if you have more acquaintances."

Judging from his words, Gu Chenglong and Ge Yingchun must be very familiar with each other, and this is definitely not the first time they have been invited to meals together.

Xu Hansheng simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

It wasn't until the car entered Qingshan City that Gu Chenglong made a phone call to Ge Yingchun.

After a brief exchange, Gu Chenglong said to the driver, Lao Chen, "Go to the Yideyuan Hotel. Do you know how to get there?"

Old Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I'll ask someone for directions later."

After all, Lao Chen doesn't come to Qingshan City often, so he's not very familiar with the roads.

Gu Chenglong chuckled and said, "No need, I'll give you directions. Just follow my directions."

After saying that, Gu Chenglong directed Lao Chen to walk through the streets and alleys, and in less than half an hour, they stopped in front of a private club.

Pushing open the car door and getting out, Xu Hansheng looked up at the Yideyuan Hotel. Although it was called a hotel, both its exterior and interior decorations resembled those of a private club.

In other words, this place does not accept any foreign guests who are not members.

In his previous life, Xu Hansheng frequently visited such places and was quite familiar with the level of consumption there.

A simple meal can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan.

In other words, in such places, what you're paying for isn't the taste, but the service and the ambiance.

The environment here isn't about the decor; before meals, everyone has to shower and change into bathrobes provided by the hotel to prevent anyone from eavesdropping or recording.

Its main focus is on safe communication!

Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly pulled up at the entrance. As the door opened, Ge stepped out of the car.

"Director Gu, Section Chief Xu, it's been a long time."

As they spoke, Ge Yingchun stepped forward, shook hands with Xu Hansheng and Gu Chenglong, and then gestured for them to come in, saying, "Please come in, both of you."

As they spoke, the group stepped up the stairs and pushed open the door to enter.

After entering, we first enjoyed a pot of fine tea in the rest area before a staff member led us up to the second floor.

The entire second floor is a bathing area, and it's in the kind of private room where each person has their own.

Although Xu Hansheng knew the place well, he feigned surprise and asked, "It must be expensive to take a bath here, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenglong couldn't help but laugh loudly, "It's not about money! Without Boss Ge leading the way, no matter how much money we offer, we wouldn't be able to get in!"

Xu Hansheng then uttered in a rather naive manner, "Oh, I see. Doesn't this hotel accept regular guests?"

Ge Yingchun smiled and said, "Don't worry, we only accept members here, so I guarantee Section Chief Xu won't run into anyone he knows."

After saying that, Ge Yingchun took the lead and walked into a bathroom.

Xu Hansheng and Gu Chenglong chatted briefly before entering their respective bathrooms.

About half an hour later, when Xu Hansheng came out of the bathroom, Ge Yingchun and Gu Chenglong were already chatting and drinking tea on the sofa next to him.

Seeing Xu Hansheng come out, Ge Yingchun stood up with a smile and said to Gu Chenglong, "Director Gu, Section Chief Xu is here. Let's go."

After saying that, the group entered the elevator next to them and went directly to the fourth floor.

Stepping on the soft carpet, Xu Hansheng felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, Xu Hansheng had long since lost interest in this kind of place. In his previous life, ever since he joined the Provincial Water Resources Department, he had spent almost every day in this kind of environment.

I'm used to it.

Following Ge Yingchun and Gu Chenglong, they pushed open the door and entered a private room.

As soon as he entered, Xu Hansheng was taken aback. The private room was already full of people, and they were all acquaintances.

Wang Chendong, director of the Land Bureau, Li Jianshe, director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Fang Mingjie, director of the Planning Bureau, and Zhang Chenyu, director of the Finance Bureau, were all sitting in chairs wearing bathrobes.

Next to each of them sat a young and beautiful waitress in a cheongsam.

That's right, dining here means one-on-one service.

Upon seeing Ge Yingchun and the others, Wang Chendong and the others waved and said with smiles, "Oh, President Ge, Director Gu, we've been waiting for you."

"Section Chief Xu, come and sit down. The food here is very authentic."

Ge Yingchun and Gu Chenglong each pulled out a chair and sat down. Soon, two more waiters sat down next to them.

He poured tea for them while smiling and greeting them.

At this moment, Miao Xiaofang, who was also wearing a bathrobe, stood up and sat down on the chair next to Xu Hansheng.

"Section Chief Xu, we're short-staffed. May I serve you?"

As they were talking, Miao Xiaofang picked up the teacup in front of Xu Hansheng, poured him half a cup of tea, and handed it to him with a smile.

"Oh my, Section Chief Xu, you're really lucky! Manager Miao's service is top-notch, far superior to any waiter."

Wang Chendong sipped his tea and spoke with a smile.

Xu Hansheng simply smiled at Wang Chendong, then took the teacup from Miao Xiaofang's hand and said with a smile, "Manager Miao, thank you, I can do it myself."

He was all too familiar with this routine. What? No waiters? A private club with only six waiters?

What kind of international joke is this?

This is a way to test the cadres!

As the saying goes, you can't be comrades-in-arms in the same trench if you haven't crossed the river together or carried guns together!

Going into the river is not very practical, but carrying a gun is a must.

Only when everyone has access to each other's weaknesses can they integrate and share benefits.

It seems this is a trap!

It wasn't about getting to know each other; it was about pulling Xu Hansheng along, integrating him into their small group, and making him one of them!

If it were his past life, Xu Hansheng might have truly succumbed to depravity.

Having experienced his previous life, Xu Hansheng knew exactly what the outcome would be if he continued down this path. But at this moment, Xu Hansheng absolutely could not refuse, nor could he get up and leave.

If someone is a loner and actually shows up at the scene, he will instantly become the target of their collective attack!

What should we do?
