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

Holy crap!

Zhao Yu and Wang Yuwen were both amazed, and they almost simultaneously started clapping.

No wonder Xu Hansheng, a newcomer, could be singled out for praise by Zhang Juan; she's taken flattery to a whole new level!

The key point is that not only are they good at flattery, but their work ability is also obvious to all.

Everyone in the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council knows that Xu Changqing was marginalized because of Tiancheng Holdings. As a result, Xu Hansheng accomplished what even the director couldn't.

What does it mean to be useful to the leader?

This is the template!

In terms of work ability, they can do what ordinary people cannot; in terms of flattery, they can reach new heights.

This is what you call a talented person.

It's like giving the leader the joy of one plus one equals three.

"Comrade Xu Hansheng is too modest. Actually, I didn't do anything. It was all due to Comrade Xu Hansheng's strong personal abilities."

As Zhang Juan spoke, she repeatedly pressed Xu Hansheng's hand down, then turned to Zhang Ji and said, "When we get back, draft a report detailing the process of these two meetings and the main directions of the negotiations. Submit it to me tomorrow morning. Any questions?"

Xu Hansheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Director Zhang, please rest assured, I will do my best to write the report well."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng sat back down in his original seat.

Soon, the meeting came to an end, and afterwards, Zhang Juan praised the people from the other departments.

As the meeting adjourned, Zhao Yu and Wang Yuwen quickly approached Xu Hansheng and exchanged contact information.

It's obvious to everyone that Xu Hansheng is highly regarded by Zhang Juan. Coupled with his excellent interpersonal skills, he's bound to be a rising star. If they don't cultivate this relationship now, when will they?

Only Li Qiang and Su Jie looked at the smug Xu Hansheng, their eyes practically overflowing with anger and jealousy.

"Hmph, what's so great about him? All he does is flatter!" Su Jie said angrily.

Li Qiang snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, don't be too smug. When Xu He first came here, he was even more audacious than him! But what happened in the end? He still had to obediently run errands, didn't he?"

"Damn it!"

Today really infuriated Li Qiang. First, he was severely criticized by Zhang Juan, then he was used as a stepping stone by Xu Hansheng, and finally, he became a negative example for Xu Hansheng. At the very end, he was singled out by Zhang Juan again.

Despite his anger, Li Qiang still had to send the gifts. He knew that he had offended Zhang Juan so badly that if he didn't mend things, his future would be difficult.

On one occasion, he experienced firsthand how formidable Zhang Juan was.

Only after everyone had left the conference room did Xu He quickly step forward, pat Xu Hansheng on the shoulder, and say, "Little Xu, not bad! You really got your revenge today. Didn't you see how angry Li Qiang and Su Jie were?"

"That felt so good!"

Judging from Xu He's expression, it was as if he was the one being praised, while Xu Hansheng just smiled faintly.

What is this?

It's just a small beginning.

At first, he pretended to be honest, simply because he didn't quite understand the operating mechanism of the county government. But after observing for about twenty days, he had already gained some insights.

In addition, given his experience as a high-ranking official in the provincial government in his previous life, managing a small county government office was far too easy for him.

"Huh?"

Xu He suddenly frowned and said, "I remember when you went to Qingshan City a couple of days ago, Director Zhang wasn't involved at all. Why are you..."

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, it was Director Zhang's words that reminded me."

Although his voice wasn't loud, Zhang Juan, who was walking six or seven meters ahead, heard it clearly.

If Xu Hansheng said this at the meeting, it might have been against his will, but if he said it behind people's backs, then it was his true feelings.

Zhang Juan only showed a faint smile on her face, and without lingering, she quickly walked back to her office.

Xu Hansheng glanced around the corner of the corridor but didn't say anything more.

In reality, no matter how much he flattered Zhang Juan at such a small meeting, it was more of a performance than a genuine compliment.

Now, Zhang Juan is the highest-ranking leader, but things are different when she gets to the county head and the party secretary.

Even if Xu Hansheng repeated what he just said in front of Qi Hongchang, Qi Hongchang would not attribute the credit to Zhang Juan.

However, political rules must be followed at all times and in all places.

When achievements are made, the first thing to do is to give credit to the leaders. Since this is an unavoidable hurdle, Xu Hansheng simply goes with the flow, making others comfortable so that he himself can also be comfortable.

As the saying goes, water benefits all things without striving, yet it can cut through famous mountains and rivers, and even cut through gold and shatter stone!

Back in the office, Liu Haitao was the first to stand up and said to Xu Hansheng, "Comrade Xu Hansheng, I still have a lot to learn from you in the future."

Xu Meijing, Chu Nan, Jiang Yuan, and the others also stood up and greeted Xu Hansheng.

Today, Xu Hansheng is undoubtedly the most handsome guy in the entire secretariat!

However, Xu Hansheng knew that one should be low-key when one is successful, especially in front of colleagues, and should not show any signs of being smug.

In that case, bad luck is just around the corner.

No matter how cunning you are, you can't outsmart the people in an entire department.

Therefore, Xu Hansheng shook his head and sighed, saying with a bitter expression, "Brother Liu, Sister Xu, please stop joking with me. Although Director Zhang praised me at the meeting, the hardest part is yet to come."

"Both meetings were successful. Before the county magistrate personally negotiated with me, there were still many details that hadn't been finalized. If anything went wrong, I wouldn't even be able to stay in the county government office. I'm a newcomer with no work experience. It was all luck that I was accepted both times."

At this point, Xu Hansheng sighed deeply and sat back down in his seat with a worried expression.

"Sigh, what Xiao Xu said makes sense."

Liu Haitao shook his head with a hint of sympathy on his face.

Xu Meijing and the others nodded in agreement, agreeing that Xu Hansheng's words made sense.

This is just the beginning; we still need to discuss policies later. If people are not satisfied, all the responsibility will fall on Xu Hansheng.

Unless he can successfully pass the baton to County Chief Lin, Xu Hansheng will be in even greater danger.

It would have been better if the deal had never gone through in the first place.

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt much more at ease.

Otherwise, if a newcomer steals their thunder, they might outwardly congratulate Xu Hansheng, but inwardly they'll harbor jealousy.

After hearing Xu Hansheng's words, even Old Shen showed a relieved smile.

Otherwise, he would be furious at night if a young man could leave him behind after writing for decades in just one month.

Xu He was even more relieved. Fortunately, Xu Hansheng had never managed to close the deal on this project, otherwise he would have been in an awkward situation.

As an older professional, to be silently surpassed by a newcomer in his field of expertise only confirms Li Qiang's judgment that he is a good-for-nothing.
