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

At this moment, Jiang Qinghua, director of the county government office, is drafting a brand-new investment promotion policy by comparing the differences between the investment promotion policies of Yutong County and Lishui County, as instructed by County Mayor Lin Hanlong.

This document had to be submitted to Lin Hanlong before noon, and ultimately it had to be reviewed and approved by Qi Hongchang, the county party secretary, before a final decision was made.

Therefore, Jiang Qinghua put in extra effort.

Just as Jiang Qinghua was writing furiously, a sudden knock on the door startled him, causing his pen to tremble and a drop of ink to fall directly onto the manuscript paper.

Jiang Qinghua frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face, and said, "Come in!"

As soon as the office door opened, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in with a broad smile.

Jiang Qinghua looked up at the newcomer, his expression darkening further. He said coldly, "Deputy Director Xu, didn't I say that unless there are extremely special circumstances, you shouldn't bother me this morning?"

Seeing Jiang Qinghua's gloomy expression, Xu Changqing quickly put on a smiling face and stepped forward, saying, "Director Jiang, I've come to ask you about the interviews in three days. Should our county government also participate in the interviews and set the questions?"

Jiang Qinghua sized up Xu Changqing and said, "Deputy Director Xu, I understand what you're thinking. Isn't it because the position in the county government office's secretariat that Xu Shuai applied for is no longer available?"

"But we can still get him into another department. There are two vacancies in the General Affairs Department. If all else fails, he can go to the General Affairs Department. The position in the Secretariat was personally assigned by Secretary Qi. You'd better not get any funny ideas, otherwise, if something goes wrong, even I can't protect you!"

"Also, although this quota was allocated by our county government, and we have the right to set the questions, you cannot bear the responsibility if the candidate is not selected. I hope you will think carefully about your actions!"

After saying that, Jiang Qinghua waved his hand at Xu Changqing and said, "I'm busy. Let's talk after get off work."

Xu Changqing nodded awkwardly and had no choice but to obediently leave Jiang Qinghua's office.

As soon as Xu Changqing left Jiang Qinghua's office, his face darkened considerably.

That Xu Hansheng is absolutely despicable!

When he was in high school, he stole his son's girlfriend; now, he's stealing his son's job.

He had already spoken with Jiang Qinghua about the position in the secretariat. Although they were both recruited through the regular civil service exam, with a little maneuvering, Xu Shuai's position was quite secure.

But no one expected that after he had Xu Shuai prepare for nearly a month, just before the interview, the county committee issued a notice turning the position into a special recruitment position for talented individuals.

When Xu Changqing learned of this news, he was so angry that he almost exploded. When he saw the application requirements for the special recruitment positions, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Is there anyone else in the entire county who meets this criterion besides Xu Hansheng?

This standard was clearly tailor-made for Xu Hansheng!

Although this matter was not something he could control, he could still make things difficult for Xu Hansheng during the interview.

If Xu Hansheng only gets a passing grade to enter the county government office, no matter who Xu Hansheng got in touch with Secretary Qi through, the person who introduced him will be embarrassed along with Xu Hansheng!

In particular, Secretary Qi would lose face, and in that case, Xu Hansheng wouldn't be able to stay in the county government office for long.

He had originally planned to consult Jiang Qinghua on the day of the interview, but just now, seeing Tan Zhifei personally escort Xu Hansheng out of the county committee compound from the office window, Xu Changqing's anger flared up even more, which is why he rushed to consult Jiang Qinghua.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Qinghua, who was usually very kind to him, would suddenly become unfriendly and give him a harsh scolding.

This made Xu Changqing resent Xu Hansheng even more.

"You just wait, kid. During the interview, I'll make sure you lose face in front of the Organization Department and the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

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

In fact, interviews like these usually have template questions and are basically structured interviews. They're just a formality and won't make things particularly difficult for the candidates.

Especially for special recruitment, the interview questions are even more standardized, with the aim of ensuring that candidates can pass smoothly. But Xu Changqing would never let Xu Hansheng have his way.

After carefully reviewing the past exam questions and pondering for a long time, he suddenly had a brilliant idea. He came up with a wonderful question that was neither too advanced nor too difficult to answer, and it would also make Xu Hansheng feel embarrassed. In addition, it would allow Xu Hansheng to barely pass and be selected, achieving three goals at once!

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't wait to write down all the interview questions before handing them over to the Organization Department.

Since it's a position within the county government, the county government office not only has to send people to participate in the interview, but also has the authority to set the questions.

Although not all of them will be adopted, probability is a mysterious thing, and Xu Changqing knows how to make the chances of his questions being selected even more mysterious.

After submitting the county government's opinion to the Organization Department, Xu Changqing couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This time, not only would Xu Hansheng embarrass himself, but Tan Zhifei would also have to make a fool of himself!

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing, to ensure everything went smoothly, even made a detour and came to the door of Liu He's office, the deputy director of the county party committee office.

After knocking lightly on the door a few times, Xu Changqing walked in with a big smile on his face.

Although Xu Changqing and Liu He are both deputy directors of the office and both have the rank of deputy section chief, Liu He, as the deputy director of the county party committee office, is naturally a level above Xu Changqing in terms of status.

Looking at Liu He, who was seven or eight years younger than him, Xu Changqing said with a fawning expression, "Deputy Director Liu, have you heard? It seems that the special recruitment quota for the county government office is related to Deputy Director Tan. I also heard that it's related to some kind of investment project. I wonder if you've received any news about it?"

Liu He frowned slightly, sizing up Xu Changqing, and asked, "What exactly is Director Xu trying to say?"

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, "Director Liu, as you know, Director Fu is about to retire. If Director Tan can successfully recruit that Xu Hansheng and turn the investment project into a success..."

Xu Changqing did not say anything more, and the two of them understood each other without saying a word.

Liu He said calmly, "Successfully attracting investment is a good thing for the county. Moreover, Secretary Qi has repeatedly emphasized that attracting investment is the top priority right now. Director Tan is able to share Secretary Qi's burdens and should be a role model for us to learn from."

Xu Changqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Director Liu is right. In order to cooperate well with Director Tan, I specially prepared a few interview questions and would like Director Liu to take a look and give me his opinion. I also want to report to Director Jiang before leaving get off work. I just don't know if Director Liu has any free time?"

As they were talking, Xu Changqing handed the difficult problem he had come up with to Liu He.

Upon seeing this, Liu He immediately understood Xu Changqing's intention and couldn't help but laugh, "Director Xu is truly a thoughtful person. Although it's a special recruitment, we should still test this young comrade named Xu Hansheng to see if he has any ability to get things done."

"I believe Secretary Qi also hopes to see Xu Hansheng's true achievements, right?"

"I think Director Xu's question is excellent. I'll discuss it with the comrades in the Organization Department later and try to include it without violating any principles."
