Chapter 1056: Forming a Team and Cultivating Influence!

"There is one hour left until the meeting; can the personnel all arrive on time?" Gao Qidong raised his confusion.

"After rescuing the last person, I notified the County Government Office to issue the meeting notice. This meeting must strike while the iron is hot; the sooner it is held, the better!" Tang Ye said hurriedly.

In fact, whether Gao Qidong attended or not was not important.

Since he had come after all, he still had to ask for instructions to show respect.

Gao Qidong nodded slightly, "Fine, then I will participate."

Han Zhengyi did not speak; he had gained a brand-new understanding of Tang Ye's ability to handle affairs.

Tang Ye had not gone through the County Party Committee Office for this matter, but through the County Government Office; from the perspective of procedure, there was no problem at all.

However, from another perspective, it felt like he was being bypassed.

But, thinking about it carefully, Han Zhengyi had been away at a meeting at the time, and Tang Ye had been the one shouldering the burden throughout the entire handling process.

Therefore, it was understandable that he had not consulted with him on every single thing.

The Yechuan County Emergency Meeting on Work Safety was held in the County Party Committee conference room. When Gao Qidong walked into the venue, all the cadres were somewhat surprised, because they realized that the scale of this meeting was very high; a Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Member was in attendance.

Originally, Tang Ye was supposed to preside over the meeting, but now that the level had been raised, Han Zhengyi presided over the meeting instead.

Han Zhengyi first reported the results of the construction site accident.

Immediately after, Tang Ye laid out the subsequent safety rectification work.

His speech was concise and powerful.

"Comrades, although I have not been in Yechuan County for long, I have combed through all the major projects in the entire county.

Almost every month, at least one accident occurs!

Although we minimized the losses in today's sudden incident, there were still casualties. This is a bloody lesson. If we continue to condone acts that violate work safety, it is a crime against the people. We must use an iron fist and strike hard against violations.

Next, we are going to establish a Safety Work Rectification Group to check every risky project one by one, ensuring that no safety blind spots are left behind.

Any project or enterprise with safety hazards must suspend operations for rectification; if they cannot meet the standards, they must be shut down.

Whoever pleads for mercy will be removed from their post; if it involves county-level leaders, the County Party Committee will report it truthfully to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government."

The conference room was exceptionally quiet.

Tang Ye's speech was resonant and forceful!

Ma Ran sat in the audience, and seeing Tang Ye's imposing manner, he felt shocked inside.

He secretly made up his mind that to be an official, one must be like County Magistrate Tang—doing things with a clear conscience, only then would one have the confidence to deter everyone.

"Next, we invite Mayor Gao to give an important speech. Everyone, welcome him!"

After Tang Ye finished speaking, Han Zhengyi invited Gao Qidong out.

Standing from the perspective of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Gao Qidong once again set requirements for safety work.

Compared to Tang Ye's speech just now, although it lacked murderous intent, it possessed an irresistible momentum.

This meeting left a deep impression on all the attendees. After the meeting adjourned, their first priority was not to go home, but to return to their respective territories to rush through remedial measures.

Because no one knew whose door the county's working group would knock on first next.

……

After the meeting ended, Gao Qidong left Yechuan. In the car, he chatted with Deputy Secretary-General Chen Bo about the current landscape of Yechuan County.

Chen Bo sighed, "Han Zhengyi is an old comrade and is famously difficult to get along with. Previously, when he worked with Zhou Songtao, the two often had unpleasant conflicts. However, he has shown enough respect to this young man, Tang Ye. This Tang Ye really has some substance. No wonder Mayor Jiang asked the province for personnel and specifically named him to come to Yechuan to take on this hot potato."

A cold look appeared in Gao Qidong's eyes, "Han Zhengyi is a smart man; he knows that Tang Ye has someone backing him. He doesn't value Tang Ye; he is showing his attitude to Mayor Jiang."

Chen Bo nodded slightly and flattered him, "Your insight is as precise as ever."

Gao Qidong smiled without smiling, "This young man Tang Ye really has a story. He is only thirty-one years old this year and has already become an Acting County Magistrate. It is said that when he was the Secretary for Jiang Jing, he saved Jiang Jing's life, so they are friends in adversity. His participation in the cross-provincial cadre exchange also demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He is a reserve talent highly valued by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. The Shaan Province Provincial Party Committee Organization Department has proposed more than once to keep Tang Ye in Shaan Province.

A person like this, I estimate one doesn't appear in twenty or thirty years!"

Chen Bo did not expect Gao Qidong to understand Tang Ye so thoroughly, but judging from his tone, he did not harbor any goodwill toward Tang Ye.

"This young man is truly not simple, but being too much in the limelight is not necessarily a good thing."

……

The next morning, at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, the rescue work for the Yechuan County safety accident was discussed.

Jiang Jing held the materials Tang Ye had submitted overnight and said in a very serious tone, "Comrades, the safety accident that occurred in Yechuan County yesterday sounded an alarm for us. Fortunately, the measures taken by Yechuan County were very timely, and the City Rescue Team arrived at the scene to carry out rescue operations at the first opportunity; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Besides Yechuan County, are there no problems in other places?

I believe that next, the city should establish a working group to carry out a rectification of safety issues across the entire city!

Using this incident as an opportunity, we must put an end to safety hazards."

Gong Weimin knew that Jiang Jing was using this move to increase her control over the government.

Once the major safety rectification was launched, she would have the means to adjust certain positions throughout the city.

However, this matter could not be stopped, and at the same time, it was something that had to be done.

Gong Weimin said in a deep voice, "I fully support Mayor Jiang's proposal. I suggest that the work for the next quarter should mainly revolve around carrying out actions for work safety, and we must resolve all safety hazards within the city."

Seeing Gong Weimin support her, Jiang Jing pushed the boat with the current and proposed, "I suggest that Secretary Gong serve as the Team Leader of this working group, so that the work can be better implemented."

Gong Weimin was quite satisfied with Jiang Jing's act of "carrying the sedan chair" for him and instructed the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General, "Hand this matter over to the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office to supervise."

After the meeting ended, Jiang Jing returned to her office with light steps.

She picked up the desk phone and dialed Tang Ye's phone number.

"The handling results regarding the safety issues at the Yechuan Sewage Treatment Station have been finalized by the city. Because you handled it very timely and the process was rigorous, the risks were contained. You did a very good job."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for the recognition, Mayor Jiang. I have a request."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly, "What is it? Go ahead."

"In this handling of the sudden incident, the determination of responsibility for some comrades should still be reduced at your discretion.

For example, the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of emergency management, Li Yongan; after the incident occurred, his attitude was quite proactive."

Jiang Jing understood what Tang Ye meant.

This was pleading for mercy on behalf of Li Yongan.

It was also building a team and cultivating influence for himself.

"I understand, I will readjust the responsibility report later..."
