Chapter 1104: Gaining the Appreciation of Provincial Governor Fu!

Zheng Shaokang played a key role in the investigation into the cause of Zhou Songtao's death.

After the case materials were organized, they were reported to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and subsequently reported to the provincial level.

The Department Head of the Provincial Public Security Department specifically had Zheng Shaokang travel to the provincial capital to report the investigation process of this case in person.

Department Head Qi came from a criminal investigation background and was extremely interested in solving cases.

"Comrade Shaokang, the process by which you were able to find Zhou Songtao's personal effects is quite interesting."

Zheng Shaokang did not take the credit, "This case was discovered by our county's new County Magistrate, Comrade Tang Ye. When we were moving Zhou Songtao's widow, he discovered writing marks on the back of a photograph, found a string of numbers, and based on those numbers, located his photography studio."

Department Head Qi said in surprise, "Tang Ye? That name sounds very familiar!"

Zheng Shaokang explained, "He has assisted in solving cases before, and his deeds have been publicized and reported by the Provincial Public Security Daily many times."

Department Head Qi's eyes lit up, "I have a bit of an impression now; I have heard old comrades in Hanzhou mention his name. Is his wife a criminal police officer?"

Zheng Shaokang said very earnestly, "Yes! From the very beginning, he was the one actively pushing this case forward. The entire Yechuan County, from top to bottom, felt that this case had already been settled. But relying on his own efforts and investigation, he found the truth step by step."

Department Head Qi nodded and said, "You also deserve credit for this case. Continue to work hard; the social atmosphere in Yechuan needs to be rectified, and your mission is not yet over."

Zheng Shaokang said spiritedly, "Please rest assured, Department Head Qi, I will not slack off."

Zheng Shaokang walked out of the Department Head's office and sighed to himself; he had not expected to be received personally by the Department Head.

Next, the Provincial Department would certainly issue a circular of commendation regarding this matter.

Zheng Shaokang felt fortunate about his initial choice.

The choice to stand firmly with Tang Ye.

……

Tang Ye sat in his office and received a call from Liu Yang, the Chief Secretary of the Provincial Government.

Tang Ye had always maintained contact with Liu Yang.

When he bought his car back then, Liu Yang had helped him, and Tang Ye had always kept that in mind.

After Tang Ye arrived in Dayu County, he would mail local specialties to Liu Yang during holidays; the two could not be called very close, but they had a tacit understanding, knowing each other to be connections worth cultivating and maintaining.

"Chief Secretary Liu, do you have any instructions?"

"I wouldn't call it instructions! Provincial Governor Fu will call you this afternoon; make sure your phone is clear."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder."

Tang Ye spent the whole afternoon waiting for Provincial Governor Fu's call.

By three o'clock, he finally received it.

"Little Tang, this is Fu Yagang."

"Provincial Governor Fu, hello."

Fu Yagang's tone was relaxed, "You did a very good job in investigating the truth behind Comrade Zhou Songtao's death. I knew Zhou Songtao quite well; he was a man of action. It is a pity he met with such a misfortune. I reported his deeds to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, who was very moved and also expressed approval of your work."

Tang Ye quickly said, "Thank you for your approval, Provincial Governor Fu. This is what I should do."

Fu Yagang nodded and said, "The situation in Yechuan County is still very complex. Although the cause of Comrade Zhou Songtao's death has been cleared up, the tasks ahead are still very heavy; you cannot take them lightly."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "I will shift the focus of my work to economic construction."

Fu Yagang smiled and said, "You did a good job with poverty alleviation in Dayu County, and going to Yechuan County is also a tough nut to crack. Rest assured, the provincial level will provide you with support. The premise is that you must organize your work priorities and have clear goals. How about this: put your thoughts into writing and then submit them for me to take a look. I know you are very good at planning!"

Tang Ye was overjoyed, "Understood, I will write down my thoughts and submit them to you as soon as possible."

Fu Yagang then discussed with Tang Ye his positioning and development strategy for Yechuan County.

In fact, this was clarifying the planning direction for Tang Ye.

For Fu Yagang, he needed a focal point for political achievements.

Previously, Jiang Jing had always thought highly of Tang Ye and mentioned his talent many times.

Fu Yagang also thoroughly approved of Tang Ye through the smooth resolution of this incident.

This was a talent worth cultivating.

One must know that in officialdom, one must have reliable connections.

Although Minister Cheng trusted him, that was only trust.

Fu Yagang's approval of him meant that he had entered his faction and reached a core position.

Just like Zhou Songtao.

Because he was someone Fu Yagang approved of, he would investigate the matter further after Zhou Songtao died under unclear circumstances.

Tang Ye still admired Fu Yagang immensely.

Not every leader would be so loyal to those behind them.

"The Provincial Party Committee will next establish Comrade Zhou Songtao as a model for learning. Yechuan County can take advantage of this opportunity to promote him well; this is a good opportunity to change the social atmosphere and the style of government affairs," Fu Yagang reminded.

Tang Ye said, "Understood, I will cooperate with the work of the County Party Committee."

……

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye called Ma Ran and asked Wu Li to come to the office.

Wu Li arrived quickly, her complexion looking much better than before.

"Teacher Wu, I asked you to come over because I have good news to tell you. After the County Party Committee's research and decision, you may continue to live in that house in the County Party Committee Family Quarters."

Wu Li was somewhat surprised; she had originally thought that once the matter was resolved, she would move back.

After all, Zhou Songtao was already gone.

She was not a family member of a government employee.

"Thank you."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Additionally, because Comrade Zhou Songtao sacrificed his life in the line of duty, there will be an additional pension issued. I will have comrades from the Finance Bureau contact you proactively."

Wu Li's eyes turned red, and she was too moved to speak.

Tang Ye continued, "Next, the Provincial Party Committee will publicize Comrade Zhou Songtao's deeds, and staff will contact you to collect materials. You will also need to attend and participate in some important occasions."

Wu Li nodded vigorously, "I will definitely cooperate with the Government's work!"

After Wu Li left, Tang Ye sat in his office and wrote the three characters Han Zhengyi on a blank sheet of paper.

Tang Ye had previously studied Han Zhengyi's file materials.

However, only after making contact did he have a clear understanding of Han Zhengyi.

Han Zhengyi was a local cadre who had spent seventeen years rising from the lowest-level township cadre to become the County Party Secretary, which showed that this person must have exceptional qualities.

Han Zhengyi was relatively clean, did not have close ties with enterprises, and appeared to have neither outstanding political achievements nor bad reviews.

Han Zhengyi had a relatively close relationship with Municipal Party Secretary Gong Weimin, and his standing at the Municipal Party Committee level was quite solid.

He organized them one by one.

Han Zhengyi's image became three-dimensional and vivid.

This was a person who was very easygoing on the surface, but actually quite cautious and prudent.

Tang Ye threw the paper into the shredder and dialed Chen Zhihe's phone number.

"Director Chen, the major safety production rectification campaign has been underway for some time now.

You have done well, and it has currently reached the final stage..."
