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

Xu Weimin scrutinized Xu Hansheng for a long time with deep eyes. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't seem like a 24-year-old college graduate.

Xu Hansheng considered the issue too comprehensively and thoroughly, even taking into account the psychological impact of yesterday's incident on Tan Zhifei.

If he could think like Xu Hansheng, perhaps his factory wouldn't be marginalized.

What Xu Hansheng said may seem like trivial matters, but they are related to the impression Xu Weimin left on Tan Zhifei.

This impression may seem insignificant, but if it makes people feel comfortable, things will go much more smoothly. Conversely, if it makes people feel bad, something that could be accomplished with just a few words might turn into a lot of running around for you.

Xu Weimin had suffered this kind of loss before, but even so, he failed to learn from his mistakes this time.

Xu Hansheng, however, took all these factors into account immediately.

Xu Weimin felt that his nephew had improved so much in the last six months that he had a sense of "a person should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation".

"Hansheng, what you said makes a lot of sense. Second Uncle will do as you say. Then... Xiaokai, would you like to come back with us too?"

Xu Weimin frowned and asked.

Xu Hansheng shook his head and said, "Second Uncle, don't forget, you came back this time for the ancestral worship ceremony. What's the point of Xiao Kai coming back to Qingshan with you?"

"Also, you went back to Qingshan City to handle the factory relocation compensation."

Oh!

Xu Weimin was instantly enlightened by Xu Hansheng's reminder.

He stayed in Yong'an County to discuss the Qingming Festival ancestor worship, and returned to Qingshan to relocate the factory. His reasons for coming and going were very smooth, without any deliberate or pretentious intentions.

Xu Weimin nodded repeatedly and said, "Hansheng, you've really grown up."

"Alright, Second Uncle, I'll do as you say. I'll call your Second Aunt right now and we'll go back to Qingshan!"

After saying that, Xu Weimin went up to the fourth floor, and soon he and Wu Xiuru went down the stairs together.

Xu Hansheng escorted Xu Weimin to the door. Xu Weimin opened the door of the Audi A6 and, before getting in, said to Xu Hansheng, "Hansheng, that's all for now. I'll wait for your call in Qingshan."

Xu Hansheng smiled and nodded.

As the car slowly drove away, Xu Hansheng turned around and went back to his room. He opened his diary and truthfully recorded everything that had happened that day.

This is a good habit that Xu Hansheng developed after he became enlightened in his previous life.

Keep a diary every day, recording everything that happened that day in detail. Review it every week to reflect on your actions.

This is also the part that many beginners easily overlook. After finishing work every day, they go home, eat, and fall asleep immediately, without having the good habit of keeping a diary.

This diary isn't for anyone else to read, but rather a way to summarize the people around me and the events that have happened.

To observe a person, one should not only look at their superficial words and actions, but also observe their consistent words and actions over a long period of time, and then summarize and conclude to understand their character, preferences, and likes and dislikes.

Only through continuous summarization and understanding can one grasp the temperament and pulse of leaders, subordinates, and peers, just like an old Chinese medicine doctor taking someone's pulse.

Over time, you'll become so skilled that you can even discern someone's true intentions from just a glance or a gesture.

Only in this way can one truly express one's thoughts.

After finishing his diary, Xu Hansheng took out a red pen and made special annotations and comments on Qi Hongchang and Zhou Kaibin. Although they had only met once, understanding a person starts from the smallest details.

Furthermore, these two people will be crucial junctures in Xu Hansheng's life that he cannot avoid.

To have a smooth career path, it's not as simple as just flattering and giving gifts.

To truly grasp the key to power, one must master the four fundamental skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

The so-called "listening" means understanding the true intentions behind the leader's words.

Leaders often repeat certain keywords that they care about most. By grasping the intentions expressed by these keywords, one can guess the leader's true thoughts and thus accomplish tasks in a way that pleases the leader.

Speaking is not just about flattery and saying a few nice words. It's about thinking what the leader thinks, being anxious about what the leader is anxious about, and making sure that your words are meaningful and convey your intentions.

As for reading, it's not just reading aloud, but reading minds!

Writing, on the other hand, involves using daily materials, official documents, and one's own actions to get one's name into the leader's mind!

It sounds like mastering these basic skills is difficult, and in fact, it's not simple at all.

Kung Fu is everywhere!

In this life, however, Xu Hansheng had already understood these principles from the very beginning.

The only pity was that Qi Hongchang and Zhou Kaibin's words today were too brief, and Xu Hansheng was unable to glean any useful information from them, so he could only make a simple note.

……

On the other side, Xu Changqing was reading today's newspaper in his office when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Before Xu Changqing could speak, the door was pushed open by two discipline inspection officials.

"Director Xu, Director Zhou requests your immediate presence!"

The two discipline inspection officials had cold expressions and extremely unfriendly tones, which made Xu Changqing's heart sink.

But he still put down the newspaper in his hand, forcing himself to remain calm, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go see Director Zhou right away."

As he followed two discipline inspection officials toward the director's office, Xu Changqing felt uneasy.

He hasn't done anything wrong recently, so why would the director of the supervisory committee suddenly invite him for tea?

Upon arriving at Zhou Kaibin's office, two discipline inspection officials pushed open the door and gestured for Xu Changqing to enter.

"Director Xu, please."

Xu Changqing swallowed hard and walked nervously into Zhou Kaibin's office.

Zhou Kaibin raised his eyes with a gloomy expression, glanced at Xu Changqing, then waved to the two disciplinary committee cadres, who quickly left Zhou Kaibin's office.

"Director Xu, is what happened yesterday afternoon related to you?"

Zhou Kaibin stared intently at Xu Changqing, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

Xu Changqing felt a chill run down his spine under Zhou's gaze and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Director Zhou, I... I didn't go anywhere yesterday. I was busy in the office organizing the materials submitted by the Secretariat and the General Affairs Section. I... I don't know what happened."

quiet!

The entire office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Zhou Kaibin narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Changqing for three minutes.

Those three minutes felt like three years to Xu Changqing.

"Director Xu, I hope that the matter of Xu Shuai instructing others to abuse his power is indeed unrelated to you, but if you have concealed anything from the organization, you are well aware of the consequences."

"If you speak out now, you can still get leniency. But if we find evidence, it won't be as simple as just being fired. Instructing others to abuse their power and causing serious consequences can lead to criminal charges. You're a veteran, you should understand!"

Zhou Kaibin stared at Xu Changqing in a low, serious voice and said coldly.

Wow!

Xu Changqing was instantly drenched in cold sweat, his shirt soaked through, and he looked at Zhou Kaibin with a deathly pale face.
