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

It wasn't that Li Xiuru was being overly suspicious, but Xu Hansheng had just broken up with his girlfriend and was probably feeling sad.

It's normal for Xu Hansheng to be attracted to a girl who is far superior to Su Qing in every way.

Even if it's just to spite Su Qing, Xu Hansheng might start pursuing this girl.

After all, a rich second-generation like Xu Hansheng wouldn't have a crush on someone like others.

From a young age, he was the kind of person who would loudly proclaim his love.

Furthermore, Xu Hansheng had tried to invite the girl to dinner twice, but she refused both times.

In such a situation, Xu Hansheng's competitive spirit is more likely to be aroused.

No one knows a child better than their mother.

Li Xiuru understood her son's temperament and personality all too well.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Hansheng hurriedly whispered.

"Oh, what's the big deal? You all seem to be around the same age, and that girl... she's really quite pretty."

Li Xiuru leaned close to Xu Hansheng's ear and whispered, "When you weren't back, Mom noticed her as soon as she walked in. With shoes on, she must be 1.7 meters tall, and even barefoot, she's still 1.65 meters tall. She's taller than Su Qing, and she has fair skin and delicate features. She looks like she takes good care of herself. She's much better than Su Qing."

Xu Hansheng was speechless; his mother had even calculated other people's heights.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Hansheng quietly explained, "Mom, I really didn't mean that. I just felt that we'd be working in the county government compound from now on, and we'd probably see each other all the time, so..."

"Oh, Mom understands."

Li Xiuru gave Xu Hansheng a push and smiled, "Mom's been through this, she knows everything. Don't explain. When she comes again next time, Mom will ask for your phone number."

What?

Xu Hansheng was immediately stunned and hurriedly said to Li Xiuru, "Mom, please don't!"

"but……"

At this point, Xu Hansheng asked with some surprise, "From what you're saying, she often comes to our house for dinner?"

"Yeah, she comes about once every day or two, and it's been more than twenty days now. Your dad and I have been watching over her at least ten times."

"If you don't believe me, ask your dad. I was just saying a few days ago that if you hadn't gotten together with Su Qing, this girl would be so much better."

Li Xiuru pursed her lips, her face beaming with joy.

Xu Hansheng glanced at the calendar; it was over twenty days, so it should be the end of February.

The special recruitment positions in the county party committee office were announced at that time, but Xu Hansheng didn't know when those positions were filled.

Perhaps, like myself, the announcement was made and the next day people came for interviews, and then I reported to the county party committee office to start work.

That should be right!

Otherwise, how many young women from nearby villages and towns would come to their house for a meal every day or two?

Even if she only orders a bowl of boiled pork slices every time she comes, it still costs fifty dollars.

If they come twice a month, that's 750.

How much does a new employee earn?

Girls from ordinary families simply can't afford it.

Yes, it's her!

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng nodded slightly, then said to Li Xiuru, "Mom, next time she comes, give her a dish, something nice, like one of our grouper, and see her reaction. Just say... she's a regular customer, and you gave it to her."

Li Xiuru pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom knows how to do it. You don't need to teach me this kind of thing. Just wait and see."

Xu Hansheng sighed helplessly, not wanting to explain any further.

The reason for sending the grouper was to test whether the young woman was from the county or the city, whether she was worldly-wise or a naive woman from the county.

A wild grouper could cost over a thousand yuan back then. Someone who hadn't seen much of the world would think it was just an ordinary fish, but someone who had eaten and seen a lot of fish could tell at a glance that one fish cost more than her monthly expenses and would definitely refuse it on the spot.

Therefore, it can be determined whether she is the person who was specially recruited for the position.

But these words couldn't be said to Li Xiuru now, and even if they were, she wouldn't listen, so Xu Hansheng simply stopped wasting his breath.

At this moment, Xu Weidong stepped to the counter and whispered to Xu Hansheng, "Hansheng, I think that girl just now..."

"No, Dad, I...I really didn't mean that."

Xu Hansheng was in a real bind. Having experienced his past life, he was betrayed by the woman he had loved his whole life, and only on his deathbed did he learn that his sons were not his biological children.

Reborn into this world, will Xu Hansheng still naively believe that love exists?

It can be said that from the moment he was reborn, he was single-minded and only wanted to return to the peak of his previous life.

As for women and love, they were all fleeting in his eyes.

"Hansheng, that's not what I meant. What I mean is, what she said makes sense. Like you said, what good will going to the 'complaint' office do? At worst, they'll just return the money, but then our family will be the ones who suffer."

Xu Weidong said with a worried expression.

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "Dad, it's not like that. If we let this go this time, the people who really want to mess with us will come again and again. If these two people are fired, and even the mastermind behind them is exposed, no one will come knocking on our door for no reason again."

"Leave this to me. You and Mom just focus on the shop. I'll definitely handle this perfectly."

Seeing that Xu Hansheng's attitude was so firm, Xu Weidong had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Just then, Xu Weidong's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Weimin calling, Xu Weidong hurriedly answered, "Second brother, where are you?"

"Oh, okay, okay, there's still time. Don't worry, there's room at home. Yes, the entire fourth floor is our own home. Don't worry, there are more than a dozen rooms, enough for us."

After saying that, Xu Weidong hung up the phone and said to Xu Hansheng, "Your younger brother Xu Kai will be here later. It's been two years since you two brothers last saw each other, hasn't it? This time, you can't argue with your brother over a small matter like last time. You have to be more considerate of your brother."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng couldn't help but think of Xu Kai from his previous life.

Although he and Xu Kai often argued over toys when they were young, they argued again when they went out to play and flirt with the same girl.

Even two years ago, Xu Hansheng slapped Xu Kai because of Su Qing.

However, in his previous life, until the very end, when Xu Hansheng was imprisoned and about to be executed, only Xu Kai frequently visited him in prison.

Only when people are in dire straits do they know who is truly sincere to them.

At that moment, Xu Hansheng was filled with regret!

Even after he rose to a high position, he did not help Xu Kai's family and watched helplessly as Xu Kai lived a life of poverty!

Memories of his past life flooded his mind, and Xu Hansheng's eyes welled up with tears. He could almost hear Xu Kai's words again as he was about to be executed: "Brother, go in peace, I'll take you back to the ancestral graves!"
