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

The next second, in a flash, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Hansheng.

Even Liu Haitao subconsciously looked at Xu Hansheng.

Although Old Shen remained calm, he slowly put down the pen in his hand.

Clearly, everyone was waiting for Xu Hansheng's next move.

The reason is simple: Xu Hansheng is a specially admitted student. It is because of this special status that everyone is very curious about how Xu Hansheng will handle this matter.

On one hand, he had to offend the section chief; on the other hand, he had to offend Xu He.

Those with stronger connections often don't take the section chief seriously, given Xu Hansheng's age; he probably can't think that far ahead.

However, if the connections aren't strong enough, or if the connections are obtained through connections and a roundabout process, then one must be careful. One should first greet the section chief before going to the logistics section with Xu He.

Although this way of avoiding offending either side, it was tantamount to Xu Hansheng revealing his secret to everyone.

If one doesn't have strong connections, or no connections at all, and only managed to get in through layers of connections, then Xu Hansheng's halo would be gone.

In this way, when Li Qiang and Xu Changqing target him again in the future, Xu Hansheng will be left with no one to rely on!

If he can intimidate these people, he might be able to glean some useful information or even some help from their snippets of conversation.

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng stood up and said to Xu He with a smile, "Brother Xu, this is my first day reporting for duty, and I don't even know where the logistics department is. I'll go with you to get familiar with it."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng walked towards the door.

Seeing that Xu Hansheng had come with him so gracefully, Xu He's gaze towards Xu Hansheng softened a bit.

As Xu Hansheng passed Liu Haitao, he turned around and said, "Brother Liu, how about we go together?"

"Anyway, I'm just going to pick up some office supplies. I see you're almost out of printing paper."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Liu Haitao's face, but seeing Xu He looking in his direction, Liu Haitao steeled himself, stood up, and said, "Okay, let's go together."

After saying that, the three of them walked out of the office together.

Only after the three of them left did the people in the office exchange glances.

This year's newcomers are really unconventional, especially that kid Xu He, who brought along Xu Hansheng, a special recruit. Isn't that a clear challenge to Section Chief Li?

As Su Jie opened the makeup mirror and touched up her fair face with powder, she said with a coquettish laugh, "As expected of a special admission student, you really don't follow the usual path."

The others remained silent, but they were all secretly wondering about Xu Hansheng's background.

Even though it's a county government office, and the positions are specially recruited, they still require approval from the county party committee.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, it was the county committee that issued the order!

A person's words and actions can reveal a lot. If Xu Hansheng had no one above him, would he dare to disregard the section chief upon his arrival?

Putting aside everyone's speculations, Xu Hansheng followed Xu He and Liu Haitao toward the logistics department, chatting casually with them as they went.

"Brother Xu, I'm new here and there's still a lot I need to learn from you. I hope you can help me a lot in the future."

Xu Hansheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu He chuckled wryly and said to Xu Hansheng, "You were also a special admission student, so how did you end up in our department, in this area of ​​work?"

"Go to the IT department or the finance department, wouldn't that be better than this? You have such a good network of contacts, and you don't know how to use it!"

Hearing this, Xu Hansheng frowned and said, "Brother Xu, isn't our department one of the core departments? Besides, other departments aren't short of people either."

Xu He nodded, then said, "We're not short-staffed. Job rotation is possible; Tang Bing from the county committee office got in that way, didn't she?"

"Hmph, every section in the county party committee office is better than ours. This place is a deadly grind!"

Clearly, Xu He harbored resentment.

Judging from his behavior, he must have been targeted by Section Chief Li; otherwise, he wouldn't have been the first to leave the office.

Xu Hansheng just didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with his current position or with Section Chief Li; that would require further investigation.

People who have spent a long time in the county government office are not so easy to get information out of.

At the very least, Xu He wouldn't reveal everything to Xu Hansheng the moment they met. It's a big no-no to talk too much with someone you don't know well, and an old man like Xu He shouldn't be unaware of this.

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng tentatively said, "Every department has its difficulties. The General Affairs Department and the Information Department are not having an easy time either, and the Finance Department has a lot of responsibility."

Xu Hansheng originally intended to use these words to probe Xu He and find out whether he was dissatisfied with his position or had a problem with his superiors.

Xu He just chuckled and didn't respond to Xu Hansheng's words.

Clearly, he was also wary of Xu Hansheng.

After all, Xu Hansheng was a specially admitted student, so he must have a close relationship with a certain leader. If some of his words got into the ears of other leaders, it would be very detrimental to Xu He.

Despite their dissatisfaction, no one wants to be sent to a township or town if they can get into the county government office.

People who complain a lot will find it difficult to survive in government agencies.

Especially in places like county government offices, where personnel relationships are very complex.

Seeing that Xu He didn't respond, Xu Hansheng didn't continue the conversation either, and instead steered the topic elsewhere.

Soon, the group started talking about food.

Xu Hansheng seized the opportunity and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Liu, I'm new here today, and you've helped me a lot. I don't have much to show in return, so tonight, it's my treat. How about we have a small get-together?"

Xu He and Liu Haitao were both taken aback when they heard Xu Hansheng's suggestion.

Before Liu Haitao could speak, Xu He said first, "It's better not to trouble yourself. Tonight, my wife and I are going to my father-in-law's house for dinner."

Liu Haitao thought for a moment and said to Xu Hansheng, "I think we should do it another day. You can familiarize yourself with the environment first. In a couple of days, neither Brother Xu nor I will be busy. There's plenty of time."

The two of them tacitly declined Xu Hansheng's offer.

But this was within Xu Hansheng's expectations.

After all, we're not familiar with each other. People are bound to be wary of those who offer help or gifts.

Although Xu Hansheng got in through connections, who can guarantee that his connections are reliable?

There is also open and covert struggle among leaders. Therefore, it is rare to have close friends in government agencies, and it is even more impossible to get so close to someone without knowing their background.

The reason is simple: nobody wants to be implicated by others.

It's not worth offending other leaders over a meal.

Xu Hansheng knew that this was a matter of vital interest to him and could not be rushed.

No matter how eloquent you are, you can't shake someone else's interests!

Especially when dealing with a seasoned veteran like Xu He, it takes even more effort.

"Brother Xu, hasn't the health permit for that chicken farm been obtained yet?"

Liu Haitao immediately changed the subject, speaking to Xu He.
