Chapter 1011: You Must Have the Capacity to Tolerate Others!

~8 min read 1,415 words

Although Ma Tao did not detonate the bomb and the news did not appear in the media, this story, full of sensational flavor, spread very quickly in private.

When spread among people, exaggerated elements were added, so the description of Tang Ye took on quite a legendary color.

For example, in one version, during the standoff between Tang Ye and Ma Tao, a divine thunderbolt suddenly descended from the sky and struck Ma Tao directly. Ma Tao was knocked unconscious by the strike and then captured without a fight.

There is another version where Tang Ye engaged in a life-and-death struggle with Ma Tao and was stabbed over a dozen times, yet miraculously, every single one of those stabs avoided his vital organs.

Regardless of the version, the matter of Tang Ye fiercely battling a bomb-wielding thug became a topic of conversation on every street corner.

When Wang Chunyu heard this news, he felt quite annoyed, because in his view, this might be Tang Ye deliberately hyping himself up to boost his own fame.

The phone rang, and Wang Chunyu answered it.

A woman's voice came from the other end.

"I am Zhao Bo's wife."

Wang Chunyu was stunned for a moment, "Sister-in-law, hello, is something the matter?"

The woman was somewhat emotional, "Zhao Bo was arrested at his workplace today. A group of Police rushed straight into the office, not only taking him away but also seizing his computer. He told me to contact you, saying you would definitely help him."

Wang Chunyu's heart skipped a beat, "Don't be anxious, let me look into the situation. Once I have results, I will get back to you."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chunyu lit a cigarette, and while smoking, he dialed Li Wanfu's number.

"There is a matter I would like to ask for your help with."

"Go ahead!"

"You have a classmate who works at the Provincial Public Security Department; I want you to help me inquire about something. A classmate of mine was taken away by the Police, and his company was seized. I want to understand the reason."

Li Wanfu laughed, "Alright, I'll ask for you right now."

Over an hour later, Li Wanfu called back, his tone having become serious.

"I just looked into it. It seems your classmate is suspected of extortion and was arrested. According to my classmate's feedback, the matter is extremely serious; it was an order issued by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee."

Wang Chunyu gasped, "Thank you for your help."

Li Wanfu said softly, "This classmate of yours wouldn't happen to be the person who hired internet trolls to stir up trouble for Dayu County using the tourist-gouging incident, would he?"

Wang Chunyu sighed with a bitter smile, "That's right, sigh, I suspect it's related to this."

Li Wanfu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Lao Wang, you need to find a way to distance yourself from this immediately!"

Wang Chunyu hung up the phone, feeling somewhat dejected.

He had a bad premonition that because of this incident, he would pay a heavy price.

Huai Province Organization Department.

Cheng Guodong dialed He Haiyang's desk phone.

"Comrade Haiyang, please come to my office."

"Alright, Minister Cheng, I will be there right away."

Walking into the office, Cheng Guodong handed a document to He Haiyang.

"Take a look at this material."

He Haiyang flipped through the material, a touch of gloom gradually appearing in his eyes.

Not long ago, the tourist-gouging scandal in Dayu County occurred, public opinion online became uncontrollable, and the good reputation Dayu County had previously built up was almost washed away.

Through Tang Ye's calm handling of the crisis, this matter was cleverly transformed into popularity, causing public opinion to reverse.

However, the matter did not end there.

"The Shaanxi and Huai Province Public Security Departments jointly formed an Investigation Team, which ultimately locked onto the fact that this public opinion was maliciously incited by a person named Zhao Bo, who hired internet trolls to amplify the negative impact of the incident.

And during his interrogation, Zhao Bo mentioned a key figure, which is the cadre Wang Chunyu, who also went to Shaan Province for the exchange.

Zhao Bo and Wang Chunyu are university classmates, and the matter of hiring the trolls was instructed by Wang Chunyu."

He Haiyang said with regret, "I do have some understanding of Comrade Wang Chunyu; he performed very well in Shaan Province, and his achievements appeared in briefings multiple times; he is a very excellent cadre.

I feel that this matter still needs to be investigated clearly; we cannot listen only to Zhao Bo's one-sided story.

Of course, if the evidence is conclusive, we must certainly deal with Wang Chunyu seriously."

Seeing that He Haiyang was still making excuses for Wang Chunyu, Cheng Guodong said calmly,

"Regarding this case, it must certainly be investigated clearly. The cadre exchange activity between the two provinces is an important cooperative project of the two Provincial Organization Departments; while pursuing achievements, we must also pay attention to conduct and discipline.

For some cadres with crooked minds, we must criticize them in a timely manner, and for those cadres with ulterior motives, we must deal with them in a timely manner; we cannot let others laugh at us."

He Haiyang nodded slightly, "Alright! I will handle it."

Cheng Guodong took out a document and handed it to He Haiyang, "Take a look at this Personnel Transfer Letter!"

After reading the content, a look of surprise appeared in He Haiyang's eyes, "Minister Cheng, the duration of the cadre exchange between the two provinces is two years, and now only one year has passed; if Tang Ye is transferred away from Dayu County, would that not violate the regulations?"

Cheng Guodong seemed to have guessed He Haiyang's attitude long ago, "Regulations are dead, but people are alive; cadre exchange is mainly to train young comrades. Tang Ye's performance in Dayu County is obvious to all; he has completed his task very well, so why be constrained by rigid rules?"

He Haiyang argued based on principle, "Without rules, there is no standard. If Tang Ye leaves Dayu County, that is fine. Does it imply that he withdraws from the two-province exchange project and should not enjoy the subsequent talent policies?"

Seeing He Haiyang being stubborn, a rare trace of anger appeared on Cheng Guodong's face,

"Comrade Haiyang, as a cadre of the Organization Department, you must have the capacity to tolerate others.

Regarding Comrade Tang Ye's performance in Dayu County, the Shaan Province side has given a very high evaluation.

The Shaanxi Provincial Organization Department even put forward a request to keep Tang Ye and give him an important position.

I know you have opinions about Tang Ye, but I hope you will not bring personal grudges into your work."

This was the first time He Haiyang had seen Cheng Guodong lose his temper.

He felt a strong sense of oppression.

He Haiyang quickly softened his tone, "Minister Cheng, thank you for your advice. I will definitely reflect on myself seriously. Regarding the arrangement for Tang Ye, I have no objections."

Cheng Guodong said in a calm tone, "There is nothing else. You may go and get busy!"

Returned to the office.

He Haiyang dialed Wang Chunyu's phone number.

He had once told Wang Chunyu in private that they must find a way to suppress Tang Ye.

He had not expected that Wang Chunyu would not focus his mind on work, but instead choose to use underhanded tactics.

"I am asking you, regarding the news about price gouging in Dayu County, did you arrange for any internet trolls?"

"Department Head He, I only mentioned it to a university classmate; I also only found out a short while ago that he helped me secretly."

"Stupid!" He Haiyang said angrily, "Dayu County is a National-level Poverty-stricken County, and the Provincial Party Committee Secretary treats Dayu County as a breakthrough point for poverty alleviation. By smearing Dayu County, are you smearing the face of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary?"

Wang Chunyu said with trepidation, "Department Head He, I also did not expect that things would evolve into this."

He Haiyang sighed helplessly, "Prepare yourself mentally, end your exchange program, and come back early."

Wang Chunyu said, "I haven't even stayed for two full years yet!"

He Haiyang cursed silently in his heart, then said sternly, "Stop dwelling on it! Think clearly, I am protecting you!"
