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

Tan Zhifei was genuinely furious. In order to bring Xu Weimin's factory to Yutong County, he had practically worn out his legs and his lips were worn thin from talking so much.

Just when he was about to succeed, two junior staff members ruined his perfect plan. Anyone in his shoes would be furious.

At this moment, Wu Yueru, who was standing next to Xu Kai, hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and said, "Xiao Kai, stop talking! This matter has nothing to do with Director Tan. It's all the subordinates' fault for acting recklessly. It's very impolite of you to speak like that, you know?"

Xu Kai took a deep breath and ultimately refrained from saying anything more, but his expression still showed a lot of resentment.

Tan Zhifei looked at Xu Weidong with a gloomy expression and said, "Boss Xu, when did this happen?"

Xu Weidong quickly gave Tan Zhifei a smile and said, "It was probably this afternoon. Hansheng just got back a little while ago."

"Where's the receipt?"

Tan Zhibing raised an eyebrow and asked with a livid face.

"Director Tan, I have the receipt, but I think it's best not to trouble you with this matter."

Xu Hansheng hurriedly stood up with a smile and said to Tan Zhifei, "Actually, my dad and I didn't originally plan to tell you about this. It was just that my mom was sulking when my second uncle came over this afternoon."

"So, my second uncle and aunt casually asked about it, and my younger brother, being young and inexperienced, couldn't contain his anger..."

He had just finished speaking when Xu Kai stood up and said, "Brother, how can this be because I'm young and naive? Tell me yourself, how is this any different from what our family experienced in Qingshan City?"

"Even though I'm still in school, I know a little about my family. My parents' factory has been shut down for two months and has been losing money."

"This factory relocation is also to avoid being bullied again. However, your county is not as good as Qingshan City. At least when my family lived in Qingshan City, ordinary clerks wouldn't easily come to our door to impose fines!"

"But in your Yutong County, any person in uniform can find a reason to impose a fine, no matter how much they want. Who would dare to set up a factory here?"

After saying that, Xu Kai angrily threw his chopsticks on the ground, pushed open the door of the private room, and stormed off.

Xu Weimin hurriedly stood up and said to Tan Zhifei, "Oh dear, Director Tan, please don't take it to heart. The child is just being silly and talking nonsense. We'll definitely give him a good talking to when we get back..."

"Um... about moving the factory back, I... I really need to think about it again. After all, it's such a big factory, and where it's moved will affect the jobs of many people."

"We need to persuade the veteran employees and key technical staff again, or... let's put this matter aside for now. Here, let me toast you."

As Xu Weimin spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it against Tan Zhifei's.

Although Xu Weimin still looked respectful, his words made it very clear that the other party did not want to move the factory there.

But before, when Jiang Yuling and Li Xiuru were on the phone, it was clear that this matter was already a done deal.

Without a doubt, it must have been something that happened at Hongyunlai this afternoon that made Xu Weimin back down!

But Tan Zhifei doesn't blame Xu Weimin. Putting himself in Xu Weimin's shoes, he thinks he wouldn't dare to come to Yutong County so easily either.

Just as Xu Kai said, any person in uniform can find a reason to fine someone however much they want, so who would dare to invest?

It's fair to say that Tan Zhifei ate the meal in a very sullen mood.

It's like what?

A cooked duck was about to be eaten, but it flew away!

That feeling of emptiness inside made Tan Zhifei so uncomfortable that even eating meat didn't taste good.

Seeing Tan Zhifei's sullen expression, Xu Hansheng chuckled inwardly.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

That's just how people are; if there's absolutely no hope, they won't take it to heart at all.

But the feeling of suddenly losing something you're about to gain is more painful than having your heart ripped out.

This is also a major reason why so many young men in later generations were exploited by gold diggers.

The feeling of loss that comes after you are about to obtain something, or after you have already obtained it, is the most draining mental killer.

It not only makes people sad and upset, but it can also lead them to do some very irrational things.

Xu Hansheng grasped this point, which is why he directed tonight's play.

Xu Kai's natural performance far exceeded Xu Hansheng's expectations; it was simply too good.

"I...I've had enough to drink. How about we call it a day?"

Tan Zhifei put down his wine glass, his face flushed, but his expression was frighteningly gloomy. He shook hands with Xu Weidong and then stood up unsteadily.

As Xu Weidong pulled Tan Zhifei outside, he whispered to Tan Zhifei, "Director Tan, this whole thing is Xiuru's fault. She shouldn't have said that."

"Sigh, otherwise my brother wouldn't have made such a long and pointless trip."

"But don't worry, I will definitely talk to my brother about this again. We can't let one or two small things ruin the important things."

Tan Zhifei gritted his teeth and said to Xu Weidong, "Boss Xu, can I see those two receipts? I just want to know who is so disorganized and undisciplined!"

If those two were standing in front of Tan Zhifei right now, he would rush up and slap them a hundred times across the face!

Even though Xu Hansheng had made it clear that he didn't need his help, the anger he felt was burning inside him like a fire, making his chest ache!

"Oh, Director Tan, I really can't trouble you any further."

As Xu Hansheng helped Tan Zhifei downstairs by supporting his other arm, he said to Tan Zhifei, "After all, you represent the county committee. It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for our family's sake. This is a small matter; I can resolve it at the Discipline Inspection Commission tomorrow. I trust the comrades there will handle it impartially!"

"When the time comes, I'll bring the results back to show my second uncle, and his worries will be resolved. My dad and I will then work on him a bit more, and things should fall into place naturally."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhifei paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Comrade Hansheng handled things very well."

Just now, Tan Zhifei was furious and only wanted to see those two bastards who ruined his plans and teach them a lesson.

However, a very important point was overlooked: he represented the County Party Committee Office!

It's not pleasant to say that a director of a county party committee office would interfere in such a matter. The key question is, how did he even know about it?

This channel makes it easy for others to find fault with it.

The best way would be for him to report the truth to the Party Secretary, then seek the Secretary's opinion, and then go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to make a request. Xu Hansheng would then hand the receipt to the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the Commission would handle the matter. Everything would proceed smoothly!

Silky smooth, so incredibly silky smooth!
