Chapter 1113: Make Good Use of This Wave of Popularity!

After He Haiyang left the office.

A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Cheng Guodong's eyes.

The emotions of a Deputy Ministerial Level Official are not easily revealed.

Xia Hong knew that Cheng Guodong had let her see this on purpose.

He was very dissatisfied with He Haiyang!

Cheng Guodong's tone was very flat, "Minister He is very young, very ambitious, and has good ability, but his mind is not broad enough."

Xia Hong understood what Cheng Guodong meant and immediately said indignantly, "If you hadn't intervened back then, Tang Ye would have lost the opportunity for cross-provincial exchange, and the organization would have lost an excellent talent."

Cheng Guodong was puzzled, "Why would He Haiyang target Tang Ye?"

Xia Hong knew the reason and explained,

"The former Tianling County Party Secretary Shen Mingcheng is He Haiyang's brother-in-law. During his tenure, he abused his power for personal gain and was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission; He Haiyang believes this was a trap designed by Comrade Du Chengfeng.

In fact, it had nothing to do with Du Chengfeng; it was all Shen Mingcheng's own blindness and arrogance, bringing it upon himself.

But He Haiyang has been making things difficult for Tang Ye at every turn because of this."

A grave look appeared in Cheng Guodong's eyes, "The responsibility of the Organization Department is to gather the wise and recruit talent, to cultivate scholars for the country. Some comrades are headstrong and abuse power for personal gain, seriously deviating from the functions of the Organization Department. Next, you must carefully audit the cadres returning from cross-provincial exchange to avoid problems."

Seeing Cheng Guodong say this, Xia Hong realized that Cheng Guodong had lost trust in He Haiyang.

Originally, He Haiyang could have greatly increased his own prestige among this batch of young cadres by arranging their positions.

But, Cheng Guodong tacitly allowed Xia Hong to intervene in the later position arrangements for these people.

Disrupting He Haiyang's layout.

"Please rest assured, Minister Cheng, I will strictly audit the list to ensure that every cadre can exert their talents in suitable positions."

Cheng Guodong was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You have worked with Du Chengfeng before; do you have an understanding of him?"

Xia Hong nodded and said, "Du Chengfeng is steady in his work, has extremely strong principles, and is not ambiguous on matters of right and wrong. He has a very good reputation in Tianling County and has achieved many results; he just lacks a bit of luck."

Cheng Guodong understood what Xia Hong meant: if Du Chengfeng's luck were better, he would fully have the ability to reach a higher position.

Xia Hong left Cheng Guodong's office, secretly thinking that Cheng Guodong asking her for her opinion on Du Chengfeng just now contained many signals.

Zhou Chengwu is about to leave Hanzhou to go to Qiongjin to serve as Mayor.

Qiongjin is not only the provincial capital but also an important economic hub of Huai Province and a center of power.

The Municipal Party Secretary is generally concurrently held by a Vice Provincial Governor, so Zhou Chengwu going to Qiongjin to serve as Mayor,

This will be a phased transition, accumulating enough energy for him to step into the core of Huai Province.

After Zhou Chengwu leaves, the officialdom of Hanzhou is bound to have major changes.

During the time Du Chengfeng served as Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General, he was Zhou Chengwu's right-hand man.

Therefore, Zhou Chengwu leaving Hanzhou will leave his own forces in the Hanzhou officialdom, and Du Chengfeng is a reliable candidate.

One must know that in these four years, Du Chengfeng has achieved multiple leaps from County Magistrate to Municipal Organization Department Minister, and the speed is shocking.

Xia Hong felt some envy in her heart, but also some relief.

After all, during the time she spent with Du Chengfeng, Xia Hong did recognize Du Chengfeng's ability.

However, it is too difficult for Du Chengfeng to go any further.

He is currently number five in the Municipal Party Committee.

The top three positions basically involve the deployment of Deputy Ministerial Level officials or even Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Members, mixed with complex power games.

For Du Chengfeng to want to secure a position, having only Zhou Chengwu's recommendation is still a bit thin.

If it were her, she would definitely mobilize all resources, at any cost.

……

Du Chengfeng saw the cross-provincial cadre exchange commendation list issued by the Provincial Organization Department.

His son-in-law was arranged in the first place, and he felt an indescribable pride and glory in his heart.

Du Chengfeng dialed Tang Ye's phone, "The first phase of the cross-provincial cadre exchange is about to end. In two weeks, a commendation conference will be held in Xijing, Shaan Province; you need to make arrangements in advance."

Tang Ye calculated the time and secretly thought that he hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.

It has already been two years since he went to Dayu County for poverty alleviation.

Past events were still vivid in his mind.

Especially when climbing the cliff Vine Ladder, that thrilling feeling was still fresh in his memory.

"Okay, I will adjust my time." Tang Ye remembered Cheng Lin mentioning that Zhou Chengwu was going to leave Hanzhou, and said tentatively, "Dad, I've heard rumors recently that there will be big changes in Hanzhou."

Du Chengfeng did not hide it, "Yes, Secretary Zhou is going to Yinzhou to be Mayor. Next, there will be changes in the Hanzhou leadership team."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "It seems you are confident?"

Du Chengfeng laughed in spite of himself, "You brat, so you were testing me! Secretary Zhou has specifically talked to me about his arrangements. However, in this situation, there are many variables. If nothing goes wrong, the complaint materials against me have increased quite a bit recently on the side of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Tang Ye frowned and said angrily, "These people are too despicable, fearing only that the world won't be in chaos."

The complaint materials regarding Du Chengfeng were nothing more than related to certain projects he had in Tianling County back then.

Du Chengfeng's previous promotion from Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General to Organization Department Minister had already caused controversy.

At that time, Tang Ye secretly planned and helped Du Chengfeng resolve the predicament.

Now, the "five into three" ranking competition is even more treacherous than the "thirteen into five" ranking competition back then.

……

In the afternoon, a regular Standing Committee meeting was held in the County Party Committee conference room.

After the Standing Committee members arrived, Han Zhengyi walked in with a livid face.

"Before the meeting starts, everyone take a look at a news article in the Nanyue Metropolitan Daily. Comrade Wang Ping, you read it first, and after everyone listens, talk about your thoughts."

The Nanyue Metropolitan Daily has a large circulation nationwide, its in-depth reports are written very well, and it often exposes current ills in other provinces, so it is deeply welcomed by the common people of Shazhou.

County Party Committee Office Director Wang Ping picked up the newspaper and began to read.

"The headline is: Absurd County Magistrate self-directs a real-life version of 'Dwelling'..."

The reporter behind this in-depth report is quite skilled and understands exactly what points readers enjoy.

He employed a plain-style narrative to describe the story of Yechuan County Executive Deputy County Magistrate Mao Yu, who, because he liked a novel, used the power in his hands to have a developer boss keep a mistress for him.

The Standing Committee Members had actually seen this news report long ago.

Watching the County Party Committee Office Director read the newspaper with a straight face at this moment, most of them felt both annoyed and amused.

After finishing the newspaper, Han Zhengyi held it up and waved it.

"A single rat dropping ruins a whole pot of soup.

The image of the Yechuan County cadre team has been disgraced because of Mao Yu.

Mao Yu brought this upon himself, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will handle it strictly according to discipline.

However, family scandals should not be aired in public; to salvage our reputation, I suggest we do not spread this matter in society.

If it gets out, the County Party Committee and County Government will lose face."

Han Zhengyi swept his gaze toward him.

Tang Ye's face was full of anger at this moment.

Of course, it was just put on.

However, his view was different from Han Zhengyi's.

"I believe this matter must be taken seriously. However, I think we can also make good use of this wave of heat to take the opportunity to promote Yechuan!"

Han Zhengyi looked at Tang Ye in surprise, "Promote?"

After Tang Ye spoke with Cheng Lin, he had already brewed a strategy.

"Although a negative figure like Mao Yu has appeared in Yechuan County, a model figure like Zhou Songtao, who is recognized by the Provincial Party Committee, has also appeared.

Mao Yu's baseness can perfectly set off the greatness, selflessness, and courage of Comrade Zhou Songtao.

If utilized well, it can make the image of the Yechuan County Government more authentic, more three-dimensional, and more layered.

Let the outside world know that our Yechuan County doesn't just have bad cadres, but also good cadres who make people give a thumbs up!"

Han Zhengyi's eyes lit up.

He mused to himself that Tang Ye's brain was truly quite sharp.

"County Magistrate Tang's suggestion is quite good," Deputy Secretary Shi Guangrong immediately stated his position.

The remaining Standing Committee Members also began to speak, most of them referencing Tang Ye's line of thought to supplement and expand upon it.

Everyone finished stating their positions.

Han Zhengyi instructed the County Party Committee Office to write a document based on the meeting's discussion content.

Use Mao Yu as a negative example to set off Zhou Songtao!

Then, submit it to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to guide the direction of public opinion...
