Chapter 1019: Secretary Tang Recommended Me!

Fang Chengxin continued, "I have been running to the provincial level recently. The provincial leaders are all paying attention to the situation in Dayu County. They are very satisfied with the state of affairs in Dayu County and have had no shortage of praise for you."

"Judging by the current situation in Dayu County, as long as we firmly continue along the current path, it is a certainty that Dayu County will shed its label as a National-level Poverty-stricken County within three years."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Tang Ye's face.

The momentum was there, and everyone was a sensible person.

"During this trip to the provincial level, Minister Zhao solidified your achievements. Your contribution to Dayu County is plain for all to see. The overall situation in Dayu is settled; there is no point in letting you stay any longer. As the vanguard, you have already won the opening phase and can retire with merit."

Tang Ye was quite satisfied with these words from Fang Chengxin, but he raised his own concerns, "Of course I am willing to obey the organization's arrangements. However, I am worried about Dayu County. Various tasks have only just begun to show improvement, and the prospects are excellent. If I leave at this time, it will inevitably require a readjustment of the leadership team, which will seriously affect the stability and continuity of policies. If things go poorly, it could easily lead to the excellent momentum being affected."

Fang Chengxin said, "Minister Zhao's meaning is that you can submit a list, and these will become the core members of Dayu County's next team."

Tang Ye understood Fang Chengxin's meaning.

This was to arrange people he trusted in Dayu County.

This would ensure that the projects he left behind in Dayu County would still have a certain degree of influence and say.

Tang Ye thought for a moment and said softly, "I recommend Comrade Xing Zhijun and Comrade Shen Yuping. Both of these people are cadres who have come up from the grassroots; they are diligent, responsible, and have a strong sense of duty."

Fang Chengxin nodded and said, "I will report your opinions to the Municipal Party Committee. Do you have any other thoughts?"

Tang Ye remembered the matter of Ma Ran and said with a smile, "There is one thing I would like to ask for your help with. I want to borrow someone from you."

Fang Chengxin asked in surprise, "Who?"

Tang Ye said, "My Liaison Officer, Xiao Ma. During the time he has worked with me, his work ability and attitude have both been very good. I originally planned to let him go to the grassroots or the city to gain experience, but he wants to follow me."

Fang Chengxin had an impression of Ma Ran; he was a good young man.

"Alright, then let Xiao Ma follow you. I will coordinate his organizational relations."

"Thank you, Brother Fang. Why be so polite with me!"

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Fang Chengxin let out a sigh of relief.

He had not expected Tang Ye to end the two-province cadre exchange early.

This was half a year ahead of those cadres still in the exchange, and his rank had been elevated.

On the path of officialdom, being one step ahead often provides a huge advantage.

He was genuinely happy for Tang Ye!

……

Ma Ran came in to refill Tang Ye's hot water.

Tang Ye called out to stop Ma Ran, "My transfer order has come down. I communicated your thoughts with Minister Fang, and there will be news very soon."

Ma Ran put down the thermos and said excitedly, "Secretary Tang, thank you."

Tang Ye smiled, "Starting over requires courage. The road ahead will be full of thorns; it is not too late to change your mind now."

Ma Ran said with a firm tone, "I will absolutely not regret it."

Tang Ye looked at the desk calendar on the table, "There is nothing much to do these next few days. I will give you a few days off. You should adjust yourself well, and after my new position is finalized, you can come over."

Ma Ran nodded and said, "Alright, I will follow your arrangements."

After Ma Ran left the office, Tang Ye sighed inwardly. He had always liked to go his own way and believed in the virtue of a gentleman being cautious when alone, but unknowingly, a group of people had gathered around him, and there were even people like Ma Ran who were willing to follow him.

He did not accept just anyone.

The reason he let Ma Ran follow him was mainly due to that mudslide experience, which gave Tang Ye an understanding of Ma Ran.

Ma Ran might have many shortcomings, but he was loyal enough to him.

In officialdom, one experiences all kinds of deceit and treachery; the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.

Ma Ran could put Tang Ye at ease; at least for the moment, he would not betray him.

The Liaison Officer in Suiyuan, Lin Heng, perhaps also respected Tang Ye, but he had not gone through similar tests, so he was certainly far behind compared to Ma Ran.

After Ma Ran left, Tang Ye began to tidy up the office.

Although Tang Ye was a person who pursued simplicity and did not deliberately add anything to his office, after sorting through it, it still filled two large cardboard boxes.

After the boxes were packed, Ma Ran called a courier to arrange for the items to be mailed to Hanzhou.

Ma Ran returned to the office.

Chen Jie from the County Party Committee Office walked in.

"Xiao Ma, Secretary Tang is leaving; do you have any plans?"

Ma Ran feigned confusion, "What plans?"

Chen Jie said crossly, "I usually find you quite sharp, so why aren't you anxious at all? Before Secretary Tang leaves, you should beg him to help you arrange a way out!

Secretary Tang is a very good person; as long as you speak up, he will definitely take the initiative to help you solve it. If you ask me, you should go directly to the city to find a good unit, gain experience for a few years, and then return to the county. By then, you can solve the issue of your rank."

If this had been over a year ago, Ma Ran would probably have confided in Chen Jie.

However, he was no longer the green boy he was back then.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Chen. I haven't thought it through yet, and I'm too embarrassed to bring it up to Secretary Tang."

"What is there to be embarrassed about? You are still too honest. Listen to your sister, find an opportunity to say a few good words to Secretary Tang. After he leaves, there is no point in you staying in the county. If you can't go to the city, then go to the grassroots." Chen Jie advised in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

Ma Ran prevaricated, "Alright, I'll think about it."

After Chen Jie left, a smile appeared on the corner of Ma Ran's mouth. No one would ever guess that he would be leaving with Tang Ye!

……

The next morning, the Municipal Organization Department working group arrived in Dayu County to inspect cadres.

Xing Zhijun was a bit surprised when he received the notice; he had not expected the Municipal Organization Department to be there to inspect him.

Xing Zhijun had just been adjusted to become the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission last year; he had never thought he would have the opportunity to advance further in such a short time.

He understood in his heart that if he could advance further, it must be because Tang Ye had recommended him to the higher-level departments.

Returning home in the evening, Xing Zhijun sat on the sofa and smoked several cigarettes in a row.

Yao Lan noticed her husband's mood was off and teased, "What's wrong? Did you encounter something troublesome?"

Xing Zhijun gave a bitter smile, "Secretary Tang's transfer order has come down, and the office was already cleared out today."

Yao Lan said with regret, "No wonder you look like you've been dumped. He is a good cadre, it's just a pity that such an outstanding talent couldn't stay in Dayu County for long. That would only bury him. You should feel happy for him."

Xing Zhijun said with deep emotion, "The Municipal Organization Department's inspection team came today. Secretary Tang recommended me."

A look of surprise appeared in Yao Lan's eyes, "Recommended you to serve as Deputy County Party Secretary?"

Xing Zhijun nodded slightly, "Yes! Still have to wait for the notice, but there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Yao Lan hugged Xing Zhijun directly, "Husband, congratulations, I am proud of you! When is Secretary Tang leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow, I suppose! The County Party Committee leadership team is holding a farewell for Tang Ye tomorrow night!" Xing Zhijun sighed.

"I'll allow you to have a few extra drinks tomorrow night," Yao Lan said softly, changing her usual demeanor.
