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

"Director Jiang!"

Tan Zhifei pushed open the door and handed the receipt from the inspection office to Jiang Qinghua, saying, "This is a receipt from the secretariat of the county government office. But why did Section Chief Qian say that Tiancheng Holdings had no intention of investing in and building a factory in our county when he called them just now? What's going on?"

Although Tan Zhifei is only the deputy director of the county party committee office and Jiang Qinghua is the director of the county government office, Tan Zhifei's actual position is higher than Jiang Qinghua's.

After all, he directly served Secretary Qi, so he naturally had more say in the matter.

Furthermore, Tan Zhifei was following up on Tiancheng Holdings' investment projects on Secretary Qi's instructions, and his tone when speaking to Jiang Qinghua was even more forceful, even carrying a hint of questioning.

"this……"

Jiang Qinghua took the receipt from Tan Zhifei, glanced at Xu Hansheng's report, and frowned even more deeply.

This Xu Hansheng is indeed a destabilizing factor!

The report that Xu He submitted earlier was not even in the same league as Xu Hansheng's report.

Xu Hansheng's actions were clearly an attempt to impress the Party Secretary.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction with Xu Hansheng, Jiang Qinghua smiled and said, "Director Tan, please don't worry. I'll call Director Xu over right away and ask him about the situation carefully."

As they were talking, Jiang Qinghua picked up the office landline and made a call to Xu Changqing.

As soon as the call connected, Jiang Qinghua said coldly, "Director Xu, come to my office immediately!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qinghua took out the report that Xu He had written from his desk and handed it to Tan Zhifei, saying, "Director Tan, this is the report that Xu He, who was in charge of taking care of Xu Hansheng, wrote yesterday morning. To be honest, our county government office also attaches great importance to it. Last night, Director Xu even went to Qingshan City to meet with Vice President Chen of Tiancheng Holdings."

"However, the negotiations didn't go well. Director Xu only said that General Manager Liu told him to wait for a call, but based on my experience, this is probably not going to happen. Could it be that Xu Hansheng and Xu He, due to their lack of experience, misunderstood what he meant?"

Tan Zhifei took the report handed to him by Jiang Qinghua and read it carefully. Although the two reports were about the same thing, the contents were completely different.

Xu He's report only gave a general overview of the situation, lacking any details. Xu Hansheng's report, on the other hand, was much more detailed.

Could it be that Xu Hansheng misunderstood the other party's meaning?

Tan Zhifei held a negative view. He had met Xu Hansheng before; despite his young age, Xu Hansheng was extremely experienced in handling affairs. In some aspects, even Tan Zhifei felt inferior to him.

Putting everything else aside, Tan Zhifei would never have thought of, much less have done, as discreetly as Xu Hansheng, that he would have given his wife a new phone under the guise of a backup phone.

There must be more to this than meets the eye!

Just then, Xu Changqing knocked on the door of Jiang Qinghua's office.

"Come in!"

As Jiang Qinghua finished speaking, Xu Changqing, with a gloomy expression, pushed open the door and walked in.

It wasn't that he didn't want to laugh, but that he simply couldn't. Yesterday's meal cost over ten thousand yuan, and Xu Changqing was still secretly regretting it.

"Director Jiang, you called me?"

Xu Changqing, with a bitter expression, looked at Jiang Qinghua and said.

"Director Xu, what exactly happened yesterday?"

Jiang Qinghua's face darkened, and he coldly questioned, "Didn't you say you hosted a banquet for Vice President Chen of Tiancheng Holdings last night? What happened? Now, Deputy Director Tan, representing Secretary Qi of the County Party Committee, is also pressing you about this!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing almost burst into tears. In front of Tan Zhifei, he recounted everything that had happened the previous night. Finally, with a sob in his voice, he said, "Director Jiang, Director Tan, it was clearly Xu Hansheng and Xu He who lied about their results, causing me to spend over ten thousand yuan last night!"

"I was just about to report this to Director Jiang. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, they could have just submitted a report directly. There's no need to lie about it; this is causing huge losses to the county!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in Xu Changqing's eyes.

Tan Zhifei frowned and said coldly, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The key is how to explain this to Secretary Qi, and who will take responsibility!"

This……

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinghua realized the seriousness of the problem; two junior staff members certainly couldn't handle it.

After all, this matter has already alarmed Secretary Qi, and he will definitely make corresponding arrangements. But if the matter is not accomplished, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Secretary?

Jiang Qinghua pondered for a moment, then said to Tan Zhifei, "How about this, let's call Xu Hansheng and Xu He over as well, and ask them what exactly happened. What does Director Tan think?"

Tan Zhifei's face was grim as he coldly said, "Fine!"

If what Jiang Qinghua said is true, and Xu Hansheng lied, then even Tan Zhifei can't protect him; he can only be dismissed by the county government.

Not only will Xu Hansheng be expelled, but Xu Changqing and Jiang Qinghua will also be punished.

Even Tan Zhifei was shunned by the Party Secretary for recommending the unreliable Xu Hansheng.

However, as long as Xu Hansheng hasn't given in, Tan Zhifei still has a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Qinghua thought for a moment, then said to Xu Changqing, "Director Xu, how about this: go and call over the head of the secretariat, as well as Xu Hansheng and Xu He!"

If the Party Secretary is involved, then it's no small matter. Since he'll be punished anyway, Li Qiang will naturally be in trouble.

Xu Changqing had no choice but to quickly leave Jiang Qinghua's office.

Before long, Xu Changqing led Li Qiang, Xu Hansheng, and Xu He into Jiang Qinghua's office.

As soon as he entered, Xu Hansheng saw Tan Zhifei sitting next to Jiang Qinghua with a gloomy expression, while Jiang Qinghua stared at him with a dark face. Xu Hansheng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

It must be that Secretary Qi saw my report, which is why he asked Tan Zhifei to follow up.

"Director Jiang, Director Tan!"

Xu Hansheng smiled and stepped forward to greet the two men.

Jiang Qinghua snorted coldly, slamming the inspection office's receipt and Xu He's report onto the table. He coldly scrutinized Xu He and Xu Hansheng, and said in a chilling voice, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Seeing that Jiang Qinghua was truly enraged, Xu He quickly lowered his head.

As soon as Xu He saw Xu Hansheng's report, he understood what was going on. He had no one to protect him, and if the truth came out, he might even be kicked out of the county government office.

If I had known this was so serious, I shouldn't have listened to Xu Hansheng.

At this moment, Xu He felt incredibly regretful.

Xu Hansheng stepped forward, picked up the two reports, glanced at them, and then smiled, "Director Jiang, Xu and I just reported the facts. What's wrong?"
