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

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hansheng smiled and looked at Jiang Qinghua and Tan Zhifei, saying, "Director Jiang, Director Tan, you both heard it. If it weren't for Director Xu and Section Chief Li messing things up last night, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation! Moreover, if Vice President Li had refused us, it's possible..."

At this point, Xu Hansheng sighed heavily and said, "Tiancheng Holdings really won't be investing in and building a factory in our county. I really don't understand why Director Xu and Section Chief Li would secretly meet with Assistant General Manager Liu and Deputy General Manager Chen behind my and Xu He's back, without even communicating with us. If they had just learned about the other party's situation, they wouldn't have made such a basic mistake."

"If, and I mean if, Tiancheng Holdings' investment falls through, the responsibility should fall entirely on Director Xu. I bear no responsibility whatsoever for this matter."

As they were talking, Xu Hansheng took out the receipts from the meal two days ago and said to Jiang Qinghua, "Director Jiang, yesterday morning, when we reported to Section Chief Li, he said that because of our misconduct, he refused to reimburse us."

"But I've already spent three thousand yuan, and I really don't have a single penny left. I can't possibly work at the county government while also having my family contribute money to support my work, can I?"

As soon as he said that, Jiang Qinghua's face turned ugly.

Xu Hansheng handled things so well, yet they didn't reimburse him for the entertainment expenses, making him bear the cost himself. This isn't a slap in the face to Jiang Qinghua, but rather a slap in the face to the county government office.

"Li Qiang, who gave you permission to do this?"

Jiang Qinghua's face instantly darkened, and he stared coldly at Li Qiang.

Li Qiang shuddered at the question and lowered his head deeply.

What else could he possibly say?

We can't exactly tell Jiang Qinghua that it was intentionally targeting Xu Hansheng, can we?

Otherwise, if someone gets the job done, it would be really unreasonable not to reimburse them.

"Xu Hansheng, don't take it to heart. In the future, if you encounter something like this again, just come to me directly. How can we let our comrades go out to do things for the county and have to pay out of their own pockets?"

Jiang Qinghua smiled as she took the receipt from Xu Hansheng, filled out the form immediately, and signed her name. She then said to Xu Hansheng, "You can get reimbursed from the finance department anytime. However, this time, you have to follow the proper procedures and submit an application first. Xu He or Li Qiang will teach you the rest. This kind of thing must never happen again."

In the end, Jiang Qinghua glared fiercely at Li Qiang.

Tan Zhifei finally understood that Xu Changqing was intentionally targeting Xu Hansheng. Unfortunately, his plan to steal the prize failed!

Such a thing must never be allowed to happen again.

Previously, Xu Hansheng was the only one involved in the Tiancheng Holdings matter, but now he is also one of them.

If he really messes things up, how will he explain it to Qi Hongchang?

Thinking of this, Tan Zhifei smiled and stood up, saying to Jiang Qinghua, "Director Jiang, you shouldn't mind if I report the truth to Secretary Qi, right? Although this is just a minor incident, if Assistant General Manager Liu fails to persuade Vice General Manager Li, we still need to give Secretary Qi an explanation, don't you think?"

Despite his reluctance, Jiang Qinghua could only shake hands with Tan Zhifei and say, "It's only right. Who told Director Xu to mess things up? We can't let Comrade Xu Hansheng take the blame. Whoever is responsible should bear the consequences!"

At this point, Jiang Qinghua glared fiercely at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was extremely upset at this moment. On the one hand, the money had been wasted, and on the other hand, Tan Zhifei was about to go to the secretary to complain about him.

This is a case of losing both wife and army!

"Director Jiang is indeed very understanding. I won't linger any longer. I still need to report to Secretary Qi. I hope we can have a drink sometime. Director Jiang, please do me the honor."

Tan Zhifei was also aware that his actions were somewhat unethical.

We could have waited until we had news from Liu Zhiqiang before deciding whether to report to Qi Hongchang.

However, if he reports it now, no one can find fault with him.

But unwittingly, this was tantamount to poisoning Jiang Qinghua's mind.

But if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

Even if he had to treat Jiang Qinghua to a drink afterward, he had to guarantee that from now on, Xu Changqing would not dare to cause trouble again.

"Alright, alright, then I won't see Director Tan off. Take care."

Jiang Qinghua forced a smile as he saw Tan Zhifei off, then turned to Xu Hansheng and Xu He and said, "Let Section Chief Li take you to get your expenses reimbursed."

"Thank you, Director Jiang."

Xu Hansheng smiled and bowed slightly before leaving Jiang Qinghua's office with Xu He and Li Qiang.

Bang!

As soon as Xu Hansheng and Xu Hecai left, Jiang Qinghua grabbed a water glass and smashed it against Xu Changqing. Pointing at Xu Changqing, he said coldly, "Xu Changqing! Look what you've done! I don't care what happened yesterday, from now on, you are not allowed to interfere with any of Tiancheng Holdings' projects! Get out!"

Xu Changqing hurriedly picked up the water glass that had fallen to the ground, put it back on Jiang Qinghua's desk, and retreated meekly.

……

On the other side, Tan Zhifei also knocked on Qi Hongchang's office door immediately.

"Enter."

Upon hearing Qi Hongchang's voice, Tan Zhifei gently pushed open the door and went inside with Qian Xueming.

"Director Tan? Is something the matter?"

Qi Hongchang was writing some documents when he glanced up at Tan Zhifei and Qian Xueming.

"Secretary Qi, there's something I feel is very important to report to you," Tan Zhifei said in a low voice.

"Oh, go ahead and say it." Qi Hongchang didn't even look up, continuing to write furiously.

Tan Zhifei quietly recounted everything that had just happened, and then said, "Secretary Qi, I think Tiancheng Holdings is interested, but if Director Xu continues like this, it might affect Tiancheng Holdings' impression of our county."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hongchang put down his pen, pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand. You may leave."

Tan Zhifei quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Qi, I will report to you immediately as soon as there is any news from Tiancheng Holdings."

After saying that, Tan Zhifei and Qian Xueming left Qi Hongchang's office.

After the two of them left, Qi Hongchang dialed Lin Hanlong's office number with a displeased expression.

"Secretary Qi, is there something you need?"

Lin Hanlong's voice came through the phone very quickly.

"County Chief Lin, there's something I think is very important to discuss with you!"

Qi Hongchang spoke politely, but his tone carried a hint of displeasure. He then recounted Tan Zhifei's earlier remarks verbatim before concluding, "County Chief Lin, I think it's necessary to have Director Xu correct his work attitude. Tiancheng Holdings is crucial to our county's economic development. I believe similar incidents should not be allowed to happen again. What do you think, County Chief Lin?"
