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

"Can one befriend the poor? Can one associate with the rich?"

Liu Haitao frowned and repeated the sentence, but still couldn't figure out the mystery.

Have you read *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*? Read the story of Tian Qilang, and you'll understand.

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly, pushed open the door, and walked into the office building.

It's not just Liu Haitao; people in the General Offices of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and even the vast majority of people, want to befriend wealthy people, but this is precisely a misconception.

Those who are truly worth befriending and can become your friends are those who are not as good as you.

Conversely, truly wealthy people, or your benefactors, are often people you can't cultivate a relationship with. You can only attract their attention by doing things that will lead to their promotion and important positions.

Xu Hansheng was well-versed in this principle in his previous life.

Those insignificant people often only need small favors. When these small favors reach a certain level, that poor friend who is looked down upon is often willing to risk his life for Xu Hansheng.

However, Xu Hansheng could not possibly break down and explain these things to Liu Haitao.

On the journey of life, many things must be gradually understood; no one will pass on their experience to others for free.

This is why the Dharma is not easily transmitted and the Way is not easily bestowed.

Xu Hansheng arrived at the door of the County Party Committee Office's Supervision Room and gently knocked on the door.

"Who are you looking for? Which organization?"

A young man who was cleaning, holding a mop in one hand and his waist in the other, turned to look at Xu Hansheng and asked in a very impolite tone.

"Section Chief, hello, I'm looking for Tang Bing."

Xu Hansheng said with a smile.

"Looking for Tang Bing? Which unit are you from?"

The young man sized up Xu Hansheng with an unfriendly expression.

"Section Chief, I'm Xu Hansheng from the Secretariat of the County Government Office. I'm here to submit the supervision receipt."

Xu Hansheng said with a smile.

The young man looked Xu Hansheng up and down a few times, put down the mop he was holding, and held out his hand to Xu Hansheng, saying, "Leave it to me, she's not here."

Xu Hansheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Sister Tang said I had to hand it to her personally. Besides, this is the supervision receipt she gave me. What would it mean if I handed it to you? What would I say if Sister Tang asked?"

Xu Hansheng's surprise was that he thought, "Who do I know you? How could I possibly entrust something so important to you?"

"you……"

"Xu Hansheng!"

Before the young man could speak, Tang Bing's voice came from behind Xu Hansheng.

"Sister Tang, this is the on-site supervision feedback form you gave me a couple of days ago. I've filled it out. Could you please check it for me and see if there are any errors? I'll correct them immediately."

As Xu Hansheng spoke, he took out the supervisory receipt from his briefcase and handed it to Tang Bing.

Tang Bing took the supervisor's reply slip and smiled at Xu Hansheng, saying, "Oh, you're quite concerned about this. Let me see..."

As she spoke, Tang Bing beckoned Xu Hansheng to sit down in the back row by the window.

Seeing Xu Hansheng and Tang Bing chatting and laughing, their relationship appearing very intimate, the young man's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Xu Hansheng naturally noticed him as well, but secretly sneered to himself, "You, a toad, dare to dream of eating swan meat?"

Even Xu Hansheng wouldn't dare to covet someone like Tang Bing, whose background is unclear. At most, he would only dare to get closer to her and ask her to do something for him. Apart from that, Xu Hansheng wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's also a special admission student; there are different special admission students, and who knows what their relationship is?

In the presence of truly powerful figures, someone like Xu Hansheng is like an ant, easily crushed.

Especially within the system, one should be even more careful about such matters and never show any intention of crossing the line.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to courting death.

"Hmm, not bad, it's even better than mine."

Tang Bing could hardly believe that this was written by Xu Hansheng; it was completely different from what she had seen yesterday.

"Sister Tang, please don't make fun of me. Didn't you teach me all of this?" Xu Hansheng said very modestly.

"That's not right. My writing style isn't even seven-tenths as good as yours." Tang Bing raised her head, staring at Xu Hansheng with her big, watery eyes.

She even suspected that Xu Hansheng had deliberately concealed his abilities yesterday.

However, on second thought, Xu Hansheng is a newcomer and doesn't seem to have done it on purpose. Perhaps it was her guidance that inspired him?

"Maybe it's because I used to write reports a lot when I was in school, which made my writing style more formulaic."

Xu Hansheng said with a smile.

"Okay, anyway, it's well written. Go back and wait for news."

Tang Bing did not dwell on the matter any further and smiled as she saw Xu Hansheng out of the inspection room.

Once Xu Hansheng was out of sight, Tang Bing's face instantly darkened. She sized up the young man and said, "Gu Yu, I'm warning you, from now on, don't touch anything of mine that you shouldn't!"

After saying that, Tang Bing sat back down at her workstation with a cold face.

The young man named Gu Yu was scolded by Tang Bing in front of more than a dozen colleagues in the office, and his face turned bluish-purple instantly.

He had liked Tang Bing for a long time, but Tang Bing had always ignored him. He really didn't understand how he, as the nephew of Deputy County Chief Gu Changchun, was unworthy of Tang Bing.

Why would Tang Bing reject him so completely?

It must be because of that kid named Xu Hansheng!

Thinking of this, Gu Yu lowered his head, sat back down in his chair without saying a word, and secretly memorized Xu Hansheng's name.

Tang Bing ignored him and carefully read through Xu Hansheng's report. Even she felt that Xu Hansheng was indeed a promising talent.

This report was not only written in a very proper style, but also in neat handwriting, with clear organization and thorough explanation. It can be said that, given Tang Bing's level of expertise, he wouldn't dare to change a single word.

"He seems born to do this kind of work."

Tang Bing smiled, picked up the receipt, and walked into the section chief's office.

"Report!"

Tang Bing entered the office and then called out "Report!"

Qian Xueming, the section chief of the inspection office, had just taken a sip of tea when he was startled by a sudden noise and almost choked.

In the entire inspection room, only Tang Bing dared to enter without knocking.

Although Qian Xueming was displeased, he still smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Tang. What's up?"

"This is my follow-up receipt. Please have the section chief affix the official seal and then submit it to Director Tan." With that, Tang Bing placed the receipt directly on Qian Xueming's desk.

Qian Xueming frowned and glanced at the receipt. When he saw Xu Hansheng's report, his expression changed drastically.

Who wrote this?

The neat and tidy Song-style characters alone are enough to catch the eye.

Looking at the contents again, even Qian Xueming became extremely attentive. After carefully reading it, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiao Tang, you go back first. I'll stamp it and send it to Director Tan right away."

"Yes, Section Chief!"

Tang Bing smiled and nodded, then turned and returned to her workstation, sending a message to Xu Hansheng.
