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

Unconsciously, tears welled up in Xu Hansheng's eyes!

"Hansheng, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Xu Weidong looked at his son with a gratified smile.

Clearly, he felt that Xu Hansheng was crying because he felt guilty.

However, it was just a minor conflict two years ago, it really shouldn't have come to this.

Xu Hansheng rubbed his eyes, his voice slightly choked, and said, "No, I just got a grain of sand in my eye. I didn't cry. I'm a grown man, why would I cry?"

As he spoke, Xu Hansheng gave a bright smile.

Xu Weidong nodded, then said to Xu Hansheng, "Go upstairs and rest first. Your mother and I will keep an eye on the front desk."

Xu Hansheng nodded, took the two enforcement receipts from the drawer, and walked up to the fourth floor.

Back in his room, Xu Hansheng carefully took out a small box from the cabinet. Inside was a bracelet made of more than twenty round beads, half beeswax yellow and half vermilion red.

Xu Hansheng recalled that Xu Kai had previously mentioned that he particularly liked this bracelet, but Xu Hansheng had been reluctant to give it to Xu Kai.

Although this bracelet is neither gold nor silver and has no diamonds, Xu Weidong used many connections to buy it for Xu Hansheng on his eighteenth birthday.

In the world of antique collecting, the "one red" in "one red and two yellow" refers to these small beads known as "crane's crest red".

In fact, it's made from the skull of a helmeted hornbill, which costs several thousand yuan per skull.

This string of coins was worth tens of thousands of yuan at the time.

Having been given a second chance at life, these material possessions are all dispensable to Xu Hansheng.

When giving a gift, you should give something that touches the recipient's heart.

Xu Hansheng took out the bracelet, held it up to the sunlight, looked at it, and nodded with a smile.

This sincerity is not only meant for his second uncle and aunt to see, but also for Xu Kai to feel.

……

Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, a series of chaotic footsteps came from downstairs.

"Hansheng, look who's here!"

Xu Weidong walked up to the fourth floor with a beaming smile. Immediately afterward, Xu Weimin and Wu Yueru led a tall and handsome young man in his mid-twenties with dyed blond hair up the stairs.

"Hansheng!"

"Hansheng!"

Xu Weimin and Wu Yueru both greeted Xu Hansheng with smiles.

The young man following behind them waved excitedly at Xu Hansheng and said, "Brother!"

For some reason, that one "brother" made Xu Hansheng feel a pang of sadness, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

But in an instant, Xu Hansheng regained his composure, smiled and stood up, saying, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Xiao Kai, please sit down and wait a moment while I make you some tea."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng quickly got up, went to the tea cabinet, calmed himself down, took out a box of Da Hong Pao tea, went to the tea table, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for each of the three people, then got up and went back to his room, took out the bracelet, went to the tea table, and handed the bracelet to Xu Kai, saying, "Xiao Kai, here."

Xu Kai, who had just taken a sip of tea, was stunned when he saw the bracelet he had been dreaming of. He glanced at Xu Weimin and quickly shook his head, saying, "Brother, a gentleman doesn't take what others love. I appreciate the sentiment, but... this is too valuable, and it's not easy to buy. I..."

To be honest, even from a distance, Xu Hansheng could sense Xu Kai's anxious and frustrated state of mind.

However, seeing Xu Weimin's increasingly serious expression, he had no choice but to refuse against his will.

"Don't look down on my second uncle. Consider this bracelet my apology to you. If you don't accept it, it means you don't forgive me."

As Xu Hansheng spoke, he stood up and put the bracelet directly on Xu Kai's wrist.

"Oh dear, Hansheng, no! Such valuable things can't be..."

Before Wu Yueru could finish speaking, Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Second Aunt, we are all family. These things are just material possessions. Nothing is more important than the bond between us as a family."

Holy crap!

These words deeply moved even Xu Weimin.

Those are bracelets worth tens of thousands of yuan. To be honest, even Xu Weimin couldn't give them away without feeling any pain or hesitation.

But Xu Hansheng remained surprisingly calm, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

This temperament can't be described as mature; it's steady.

Only those with an extremely stable framework can do this!

Furthermore, coupled with Xu Hansheng's words, it struck a chord even more deeply.

"Thank you, bro!"

Xu Kai was beaming with joy, but Xu Weimin and Wu Yueru had very mixed feelings.

Xu Hansheng is only two years older than Xu Kai, but compared to Xu Kai, Xu Hansheng is surprisingly mature and steady, while Xu Kai is still as immature as a child.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Compared to the other two, Xu Weimin's thoughts were much more complicated.

Xu Hansheng smiled and nodded at Xu Kai, asking, "How's it going? Tired of studying?"

"Not tired!"

Xu Kai's mind was completely on the bracelet. He played with it with it, and replied with a smile.

Xu Hansheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Xu Weimin and said, "Second Uncle, something happened this afternoon. When you see Director Tan later, please put in a good word for me."

Xu Weimin frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Hansheng thought for a moment, then briefly and truthfully recounted how someone had come to his door that afternoon to cause trouble and impose a fine.

Then he took out two receipts and said, "These are the receipts they signed themselves."

Xu Weimin took it, glanced at it, and frowned, saying, "Isn't this blatant bullying? How is this any different from what we experienced in Qingshan City?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to hear!"

"After the banquet starts, don't rush to bring this up. Wait until I ask you if you have any plans to go back to your hometown to set up a factory, then bring this up. After that, then throw that sentence you just said at Tan Zhifei."

Xu Weimin thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Oh, you mean, ask Director Tan for help?"

Xu Hansheng shook his head and said, "No! We can't let Tan Zhifei help with this. Besides, he's the director of the county party committee office; the health bureau and the food and drug administration aren't under his jurisdiction. Asking him for help would leave us in a huge debt of gratitude. But we must let him know about this!"

Wu Xiuru asked, puzzled, "If you don't want his help, why tell him about it in the first place?"

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the matter of my second uncle returning to set up a factory was handled entirely by Tan Zhifei. So, since Tan Zhifei knows about this, Secretary Qi also knows about it. In that case, if I go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to complain tomorrow afternoon, it won't just be a simple fine."

"These two people are ruining Yutong County's investment environment and sabotaging Secretary Qi's crucial investment attraction plan! Even their bureau chief won't be able to protect them then!"

At this point, two cold glints flashed in Xu Hansheng's eyes, and his whole body exuded the aura of a superior!
