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

Looking at the confident smile on Xu Hansheng's face, Xu Weimin suddenly felt that his nephew seemed to be different from before.

Take today's incident as an example. If it were in the past, Xu Hansheng would have called Xu Weimin immediately and explained all his thoughts. If Xu Weimin did not agree to move the factory back to Yutong County, Xu Hansheng would have come over in person and thrown a tantrum.

This time, however, Xu Hansheng took the initiative to visit Wu Yueru and brought her a gift. Throughout the communication and exchange, he was unhurried and patient, guiding Xu Weimin's thinking towards his own ideas, as if peeling back layers of an onion.

What's most remarkable is that Xu Hansheng remained mysterious even after finally receiving a positive answer.

It's easy to say you don't want to reveal your true feelings, but it's incredibly difficult to do.

Especially considering that Xu Hansheng was a recent college graduate, it was extremely difficult for him to keep secrets to himself.

Seeing that Xu Hansheng was unwilling to reveal everything, Xu Weimin did not ask any further questions. Instead, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I won't ask any more questions. Just tell me what you need me to do, and I will do my best to cooperate."

Xu Hansheng smiled and said, "Second Uncle, actually, without your strong support this time, I really don't know what I would have done. I will always remember your help, because it is not only a help to my career, but also a huge support to my spirit."

"Second Uncle, I'd like to offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

As he spoke, Xu Hansheng sincerely raised his teacup with both hands.

Xu Weimin was completely stunned. Could those words really have come from Xu Hansheng's mouth?

He could hardly believe his ears!

After a full second of stunned silence, Xu Weimin picked up his teacup, clinked it against Xu Hansheng's, and said with a simple, honest smile, "Just like you said, we're family. If I don't help you, who will?"

"Dry!"

After saying this, Xu Weimin and Xu Hansheng clinked their teacups together and then drank them down in one gulp.

Xu Weimin was very happy with today's meal. On the one hand, his factory finally had a way out, and on the other hand, his eldest nephew had finally grown up. Not only was his behavior very proper and humble, but he also gave people a very comfortable feeling.

The three men, uncle and nephew, did not leave the restaurant until 2 p.m.

After dropping Xu Weimin and his wife off at their home, Xu Hansheng hurriedly returned to Yutong County.

Watching Xu Hansheng's retreating figure, Wu Yueru remarked with a touch of emotion, "Hansheng... seems a bit different today."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch the necklace around her neck, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Although Xu Weimin didn't say anything, his opinion of Xu Hansheng changed.

This person's growth is incredibly fast, if you're talking about speed.

In just a few months, Xu Hansheng has transformed from a spoiled brat into someone so humble and polite. Could it be that the Xu family's ancestral graves have been blessed with good fortune?

……

On the other hand, Xu Hansheng rushed back to Yutong County that afternoon. Once home, he took out paper and pen and made a list.

Above them are Fu Changqing, director of the county party committee office, and deputy directors Tan Zhifei, Liu He, Wang Yong, and Zhao Haifeng!

There were also two deputy directors, but Xu Hansheng didn't write them down at all.

On the one hand, he wasn't very familiar with the two deputy directors. On the other hand, Xu Hansheng clearly remembered that the two deputy directors had worked until retirement without ever leaving Yutong County.

Xu Hansheng would never choose someone with no future.

This is an important step that Xu Hansheng is about to take in his life. Choosing the right person and following the right person is of paramount importance.

Following a good leader can help you make rapid progress, while following a good-for-nothing will make it difficult for you to achieve anything in your life.

First, Xu Hansheng excluded Fu Changqing, the director of the county party committee office, partly because the director of the county party committee office had too high a rank. He was both the chief steward of the county party secretary and a member of the standing committee, and it was not easy to get in touch with him.

Furthermore, Fu Changqing will be retiring in a few months. If Xu Hansheng gets into the county government office through him, Xu Hansheng's position will be in jeopardy once Fu Changqing retires.

Xu Hansheng would never do such a thing.

Among the other candidates, Xu Hansheng ultimately selected two: Deputy Director Tan and Deputy Director Liu He, who was only thirty-two years old.

Both of these people will be moving to Qingshan City in the future.

For a moment, Xu Hansheng didn't know what to do.

Although Tan Zhifei is already forty-two years old, he is a steady and experienced man. Liu He's biggest advantage is his youth, and he also has some connections, so his future prospects are undoubtedly limitless.

hiss……

Xu Hansheng slowly closed his eyes, carefully searching for fragments of memories from his past life.

After a long while, the scene of Liu He warmly shaking hands and chatting happily with a group of leaders from the Water Resources Bureau at a meeting came to his mind.

At that time, Xu Hansheng was the deputy director of the office of the Qingshan City Water Resources Bureau, just a deputy section-level cadre.

But at that time, Liu He was already the vice mayor of Qingshan City.

Xu Hansheng vaguely remembered that Liu He had made a special trip to shake his hand and asked him a few words of concern. At that time, Xu Hansheng was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

Looking back now, I realize I was too naive.

Liu He seems approachable, but you can't rely on someone like him.

Xu Hansheng, who had once served as the governor of Handong Province in his previous life, understood better than anyone that the attention of one's superiors was the most scarce resource. And as a leader, one must make good use of this scarce resource.

A leader who knows how to utilize this scarce resource should treat everyone as if they don't exist when entering the meeting room, and at most shake hands and exchange pleasantries with only one or two people.

Liu He's display of intimacy was, in fact, a deliberate act in front of everyone, intended to make it clear to everyone present that he was the leader's favorite.

His main job was the leader's favorite project, and everyone had to give him the green light in everything he did!

To put it bluntly, it's like using someone else's name to make a coat.

Therefore, Liu He is unable to make good use of his popularity, which means that once his backer falls from power, he will inevitably face a bad outcome.

Following him would only be one of the biggest mistakes in my life.

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng immediately picked up his pen and crossed Liu He's name off the list.

Looking at Tan Zhifei, the only remaining name on the list, Xu Hansheng fell into deep thought.

Although Tan Zhifei and his wife Jiang Yuling often ate at Xu Hansheng's Hongyunlai Restaurant, they didn't have any close interaction. They were just ordinary restaurant owner and customer. At most, Li Xiuru would occasionally ask Xu Hansheng to give them a couple of side dishes.

Based on such a relationship, how could he give gifts to Tan Zhifei and then bring up the matter of Xu Weimin's factory relocation?

inappropriate!

Tan Zhifei probably won't even see Xu Hansheng.

Since that's the case, then we'll have to take an unconventional approach...

Just as Xu Hansheng was deep in thought, Xu Weidong and Li Xiuru, a married couple, also stepped onto the fourth floor of their room.

Seeing Xu Hansheng staring blankly at a list covered in scribbles, Xu Weidong asked in surprise, "Hansheng, what are you writing on this?"

Ok?

Xu Hansheng suddenly looked up and met Xu Weidong's gaze.

"Dad, I was just thinking, who can help me get into the county government office?"

Hearing this, Xu Weidong smiled wryly and said, "But what you've written down here are all the county party committee leaders, aren't they?"
