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

If Xu Hansheng had been extremely respectful to her before, it was because Zhang Juan was Xu Hansheng's direct superior.

But now, every little kindness Xu Hansheng shows Zhang Juan is completely selfless and without any demands; it is all out of genuine sincerity!

Having worked in the county government office for so many years, Zhang Juan has seen far too many people and things, but she has never seen anyone like Xu Hansheng, who, even after being transferred to the county party committee office, still thinks highly of her, his "old leader."

Even when going to Qingshan City on business, one would think of her and bring her a gift—such a person is rare to find in the entire Yutong County.

Just as Xu Hansheng said, once someone is his leader, they will be his leader for life.

The most valuable quality in a person is that they keep their word!

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Juan smiled and nodded at Xu Hansheng, saying, "Okay, then I'll accept it. Come to my house for dinner another day, it'll be my treat."

After saying that, Zhang Juan smiled and saw Xu Hansheng out of the office.

This is exactly the effect Xu Hansheng wanted.

Only when we ate at each other's homes could it be considered that I had some private relationship with Zhang Juan.

Furthermore, Xu Hansheng was aware of Zhang Juan's situation. Being invited to her home for dinner was quite different from being invited to dinner by a typical female leader.

If someone doesn't meet her standards, Zhang Juan won't even agree to let them eat at her home, let alone at a restaurant.

Therefore, Xu Hansheng thanked Zhang Juan repeatedly before turning around and walking back to his office.

Just after seeing Xu Hansheng off, Zhang Juan's phone rang. Seeing that it was her brother-in-law calling, Zhang Juan quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Today is Monday, which should be a busy time for the Organization Department of the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee.

Even if her brother-in-law called her, or even if she called him first, he might not have time to answer.

"Xiaojuan, I'm going to Yutong County on business later. Mom asked me to bring you some things, mostly for the kids, so you won't be too busy to buy them."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Juan said with gratitude, "Thank you, Mom, for thinking of me so much. Please give my regards to Mom. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take Xiaojun back to visit her."

The middle-aged man opposite him responded, "Yes, no rush. After all, you're very busy with work. Is everything alright at home lately?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, brother."

As Zhang Juan spoke, her nose suddenly stung, and tears welled up in her eyes.

To be honest, her in-laws have been very good to her since her husband's sacrifice, but no matter how good her in-laws are, they can't compare to a real, caring person.

Especially whenever she hears her brother-in-law's voice, she can't help but think of her lover, and that feeling of heartache will instantly well up in her heart again.

"Alright, that's all. You can get back to work."

After saying that, the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone sighed softly and hung up.

To be honest, even her in-laws had introduced Zhang Juan to more than one potential partner, but she politely declined them all.

Because of her loyalty, her husband's entire family respected Zhang Juan even more and cared for her even more meticulously.

"Minister Cheng, should we go to the county committee first, or...?"

As the car entered Yutong County, the driver deliberately slowed down and turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat, who was resting with his eyes closed.

A complex expression flashed across the middle-aged man's angular face. He slowly opened his eyes, glanced down at his watch, and said, "Let's go to the county committee first. Don't keep Secretary Qi waiting."

"OK."

The driver responded and started the car again, heading straight towards the county government compound.

A dozen minutes later, when the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Yutong County Party Committee compound, Qi Hongchang, Jiang Hua, and several deputy county heads were already waiting at the gate.

"Minister Cheng, welcome, welcome!"

Upon seeing Cheng Zihua, Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee, get out of the car, Qi Hongchang was the first to step forward, shake Cheng Zihua's hand, and say very warmly.

Cheng Zihua smiled and shook hands with Qi Hongchang, saying, "Secretary Qi, I'm really sorry, there was a traffic jam in the city, I'm ten minutes late. My comrades in Liu County have been waiting for a long time."

After speaking, Cheng Zihua shook hands with Jiang Hua and the others.

"Minister Cheng, no need for formalities. Please come inside."

As Qi Hongchang spoke, he and Cheng Zihua walked into the county party committee office building.

As they arrived at the conference room door, Qi Hongchang turned to Zhao Haifeng and said, "Immediately notify all members of the county party committee standing committee, as well as all cadres above the section chief level, to attend a meeting in the conference room!"

Zhao Haifeng responded and quickly left.

"Minister Cheng, please have a seat."

Qi Hongchang approached the main seat, pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a smile.

Cheng Zihua thanked him and sat down next to Qi Hongchang.

Before long, a group of members of the Standing Committee of Yutong County, as well as the director and deputy director of the Publicity Department and cadres above the section chief level from the General Office and the General Office, entered the meeting room.

After everyone was seated, Qi Hongchang addressed them, saying, "Please be quiet. Next, Comrade Cheng Zihua, Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee, will read out several appointments from the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee."

After speaking, Qi Hongchang turned to look at Cheng Zihua.

Cheng Zihua smiled and nodded to everyone, then opened his briefcase, straightened the microphone and said, "First of all, considering the health condition of Comrade Lin Weidong, the Minister of Publicity of Yutong County, the Municipal Party Committee has decided, after research, to relieve Comrade Lin Weidong of his post as Minister of Publicity of Yutong County, effective immediately."

"He was reassigned as the deputy director of the Yutong County Federation of Industry and Commerce, in a non-committee position."

After hearing these words, Lin Weidong was completely disheartened. He had lost his title as a member of the Standing Committee and was reassigned as the deputy director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. He feared that he would never have any hope of advancement in his life.

But for him, this is a pretty good result, at least better than Lin Hanlong, who is still nowhere to be found.

"Upon recommendation by the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee and the Yutong County Party Committee, Comrade Chen Changhe, the former Executive Deputy Director of the Publicity Department of the Yutong County Party Committee, was reassigned as the Director of the Publicity Department of the Yutong County Party Committee."

"The announcement is officially published starting today, and the public notice period is one month."

After saying that, Cheng Zihua turned to look at Chen Changhe.

"Thank you for the trust the organization has placed in me. In my future work, I will definitely work harder to complete all the tasks assigned to me by the organization."

Chen Changhe stood up, bowed slightly to the Standing Committee members present, and then sat back down in his original seat.

"After deliberation by the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee, it has been decided that Comrade Zhang Chenguang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Longping Town, Yutong County, has made outstanding contributions in economic and Party affairs work. Therefore, Comrade Zhang Chenguang is hereby appointed as Secretary of the Party Committee of Longping Town, Yutong County, and concurrently as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee."

As Cheng Zihua finished speaking, Zhang Chenguang stood up excitedly and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for the organization's trust in me, thank you Secretary Qi, thank you all leaders."

Then, Cheng Zihua turned to the last document and said: "After joint research and decision by the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department, Comrade Lin Hanlong is hereby removed from his positions as Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, County Mayor and member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee."

"We should all take the example of Comrade Lin Hanlong, whose mistake led to eternal regret, as a warning to others."

Hiss!

In an instant, gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the conference room.

Lin Hanlong has been dismissed?
