Chapter 1057: A Refreshing Triple Fire!

The Municipal Party Committee released a circular regarding this incident.

A Deputy Director of the Yechuan County Safety Supervision Bureau was dismissed, and the Director was given a major demerit.

As for Li Yongan, he was surprised to find that his own name was not there.

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Only after reading it a second time did he confirm that he had not been criticized in the circular!

A surge of ecstasy rushed straight to his crown!

What on earth was going on?

Who exactly had helped him!

Afterward, Li Yongan asked an acquaintance at the Municipal Government Office and learned that, in fact, he was supposed to be disciplined in the circular at first.

However, because Tang Ye had explained the situation to Mayor Jiang on his behalf, Li Yongan's name had been crossed off.

Upon learning this inside information, Li Yongan was extremely moved and took the initiative to go to the office to find Tang Ye.

Tang Ye had Ma Ran pour a cup of Hanzhou Green for Li Yongan.

"County Magistrate Li, please have some tea."

Li Yongan took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "Thank you, County Magistrate Tang. I heard that I was originally going to be named in the circular this time, and it was you who put in a good word for me in front of Mayor Jiang."

Tang Ye waved his hand, "You don't need to be so polite. Regarding this accident, the construction party and the Safety Supervision Bureau need to bear the primary responsibility. As for your work attitude, it was quite good; you arrived at the scene at the first opportunity. Although some decisions could have been more steady, you still played a positive role in the rescue."

Li Yongan felt incredibly annoyed; he had to remember that he had opposed Tang Ye contacting the rescue team from the city that day.

His first reaction had been to cover things up.

"County Magistrate Tang, I regret it very much now; I even went against you at the time."

Tang Ye shook his hand and said in a deep voice, "I can understand your mindset when you proposed controlling public opinion at the time. When dealing with any matter, there will always be different voices. One cannot completely negate a person's efforts just because the strategy is different."

Li Yongan was warmed by these words from Tang Ye and said excitedly, "County Magistrate Tang, you have spoken to my heart. A scholar dies for his confidant; in the future, if you have any needs, please give your orders, and I will certainly carry them out without fail."

Tang Ye stood up, patted Li Yongan on the shoulder, and struck a pose of heart-to-heart sincerity.

"I have just arrived in Yechuan County and am still in the process of exploring the local situation. I have many ideas that need to be implemented, but right now, there is no one who can help me. I have remembered your words today. In the future, when I need you to step up, you must not make excuses!"

Li Yongan's eyes shone terrifyingly bright, "County Magistrate Tang, I will not let you down."

Tang Ye sat back down and began to paint a grand vision for Li Yongan, "As long as you get things done, the organization will not let you down either. Emergency management, while not a good job, is particularly good for training people. This department is very critical; tempering yourself for a period of time will improve your personal capabilities."

Li Yongan said gratefully, "Thank you for the encouragement, County Magistrate Tang. I will be even more diligent."

Tang Ye had a detailed understanding of Li Yongan's resume; although Li Yongan was a Deputy County Magistrate, it had been a stroke of luck due to a twist of fate at the time.

The two other Deputy County Magistrate candidates competing with him had undermined each other during the selection process, and as a result, the city had promoted Li Yongan.

Although Li Yongan had reaped the benefits, he had not been happy for long after taking office, as he was assigned to be in charge of the thorny department of emergency management during the division of labor.

To put it bluntly, he was a Deputy County Magistrate meant to be a scapegoat when problems arose.

Li Yongan had actually prepared himself mentally that he might be dealt with this time.

However, he had not expected that Tang Ye would not only control the outcome and minimize the number of casualties but also release a signal of goodwill, intending to cultivate him as a protégé.

Li Yongan knew Tang Ye's background!

His father-in-law was the Organization Department Minister of the Hanzhou Municipal Committee, and Mayor Jiang was his old superior.

For someone who had never picked a side!

Being able to latch onto Tang Ye's thigh was too lucky!

He was absolutely a towering tree that could provide a full sense of security.

In the evening, Zheng Shaokang returned to his residence, and his wife looked at him in surprise, "No mission tonight?"

Zheng Shaokang smiled, "There was less to do today, so I came back early."

His wife said with a smile, "I'm going downstairs to buy some deli food."

Zheng Shaokang nodded and turned on the television, tuning it to the Xiyang Television Station news channel.

A sense of warmth welled up in his heart, and he thought to himself, who said other people's wives are better? A wife is actually best when she is your own—knowing when you are cold or hot, and knowing you inside and out.

The television was playing the News Girl program.

Soon, it entered a special feature titled "Never Abandon, Never Give Up!".

This program revolved around how the rescue team raced against time to snatch people from the hands of death and rescue the buried workers!

At this moment, his wife returned with the deli food and, seeing her husband watching "News Girl," asked in surprise, "Don't you dislike watching the news? What's wrong today?"

Immediately, she saw her husband's figure appear on the screen, and her whole body froze.

"Honey, isn't that you?"

Because Tian Xiaomeng had arrived at the scene quite late.

They only captured the final scene of them sitting at the construction site eating porridge and steamed buns.

The other content consisted of later interviews with the rescued injured at the hospital.

Immediately following, the screen cut away, and the reporter interviewed the Captain of this rescue team.

"It is said that it took several hours to find the last worker. At that time, did you ever think about what to do if you couldn't find him?"

The Captain said with a firm gaze, "At that time, we were all shouting a slogan, and that was 'never abandon, never give up.' If we couldn't find the last person, we would continue to dig down. No matter if it took several hours or dozens of hours, we would keep digging."

Hearing this, Zheng Shaokang noticed that his wife was actually secretly wiping away tears, "Why are you crying?"

His wife sighed, "Never abandon! Never give up! This line is a classic quote from 'Soldiers Sortie.' It's very fitting here; it's so moving!"

Zheng Shaokang sighed silently, "County Magistrate Tang shouted this slogan at the scene at the time. Everyone was shouting the slogan; the scene was particularly shocking! When the last person was found, everyone was cheering. Sigh, I have experienced quite a few things, but this time I was truly deeply touched."

After finishing the "News Girl" report on the "Wu Shui Chu Li Zhan Safety Accident" special program.

Zheng Shaokang sat on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time.

Tang Ye had been investigating the cause of Zhou Songtao's death ever since he came to Yechuan County this time.

Before this, he was still wavering on whether to continue investigating this case further.

Because the death of Zhou Songtao surely involved many vested interests.

It was not that he dared not investigate further, but that he knew to do so required sufficient resources and support.

Now, the capability and courage of Tang Ye gave him confidence.

Tang Ye arrived in Yechuan County and set three fires in a bold and unrestrained manner.

The first fire was the land requisition and demolition dispute at the Old Lock Factory.

The second fire was the food safety issue at the Xingshun Food Factory.

The third fire was the construction accident at the Wu Shui Chu Li Zhan.

Every matter was handled just right.

Zheng Shaokang decided that from now on,

he would actively cooperate with Tang Ye and put effort into investigating the cause of Zhou Songtao's death.
