Chapter 1114: Returning to Shaan Province to Attend the Commendation!

The meeting concluded.

Tang Ye quickly caught up with Han Zhengyi.

"Secretary Han, there is a matter I would like to discuss with you."

Han Zhengyi smiled, "Let's go, we can talk in my office."

Tang Ye followed Han Zhengyi to the County Party Secretary's office.

Han Zhengyi's Liaison Officer walked in carrying a cup of tea,

and placed it respectfully in front of Tang Ye.

The teacup he used was fixed; he often came to Han Zhengyi's office and used this same cup every time.

Before Tang Ye could speak, Han Zhengyi picked up a document from the desk, handed it to him, and said with a gratified tone: "County Magistrate Tang, congratulations on being named an Outstanding Cadre for Inter-provincial Exchange!"

Tang Ye took the document and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Secretary. I came here today specifically to ask for leave for this matter; I need to make a trip to Xijing, which will take about four days."

Han Zhengyi raised his hand and patted Tang Ye on the shoulder, his tone sincere: "Go ahead with peace of mind; this is a great thing."

Tang Ye recalled a matter, his tone deepening:

"Secretary Han, a few days ago I saw a woman at the entrance. I heard that her daughter was cruelly murdered by an unlicensed taxi driver, and she suffered a mental breakdown from the blow."

A flash of helplessness crossed Han Zhengyi's eyes, "This matter caused quite a stir at the time, but fortunately, the perpetrator was caught quickly and was eventually sentenced to death in accordance with the law."

Tang Ye said softly: "Based on my understanding, there are quite a few hidden dangers in the transportation between the county seat and the various townships."

Han Zhengyi realized what he meant and asked: "Are you thinking of focusing on rectifying the chaos of unlicensed taxis?"

Tang Ye nodded and added:

"The unlicensed taxi phenomenon is rampant, but tracing it to the source, it is caused by inconvenient transportation.

I have an idea to promote the Bus Village-to-Village Connection Project.

Currently, the transportation routes from the townships to the county seat are basically monopolized by some private vehicle owners. To seek profit, these people often operate with overloads, posing great safety hazards.

A neighboring county had a painful lesson from the past: a private bus overturned due to overloading, causing an accident with several deaths and dozens of injuries."

Han Zhengyi nodded, "Improving transportation is the urgent expectation of the common people and also the consensus of successive County Party Committee teams.

But this work is difficult to advance; there are both historical legacy issues and practical obstacles.

Do you have any specific methods?"

Tang Ye's attitude was sincere, "Regarding transportation, the city also has support policies. The roads must continue to be built, and buses must be connected as soon as possible; we cannot be afraid of trouble."

Seeing that Tang Ye's intention was firm, Han Zhengyi said with a smile, "I will leave it to you to take the lead in promoting this. I will bring it up for discussion at the County Party Committee team meeting."

Tang Ye mused to himself, why had Han Zhengyi suddenly become so easy to talk to?

Thinking about it carefully, it must be the influence of this provincial-level commendation document.

After all, it bears the seal of the Shaanxi Provincial Organization Department, which is quite authoritative.

He was ranked first on the list of commended personnel.

This was just like the MVP settlement screen at the end of a Game Dungeon.

Tang Ye appeared calm on the surface, but he felt very excited inside.

Returning to his office, Ma Ran knocked on the door and walked in.

Ma Ran had already learned that Tang Ye had received the title of Outstanding Cadre for Inter-provincial Exchange, and his face was full of smiles.

"County Magistrate Tang, congratulations, I am truly happy for you."

Tang Ye gave a faint smile, "Prepare yourself, focus on resolving the important work at hand. We are going back to Shaan Province next week. I can arrange a few days of vacation for you so you can go back to your hometown to take a look. Also, prepare some gifts; I will have a use for them when the time comes."

Ma Ran said happily, "Alright! I will go do it immediately."

……

On Wednesday afternoon, Tang Ye set off from Xiyang City on his journey to Xijing City.

After getting off the vehicle, Tang Ye headed to the Provincial Conference Center to check in.

Just as he had put his luggage away, Tang Ye received a call from Fang Chengxin.

"Have you arrived in Xijing?"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "I've arrived. I was just about to call you!"

Fang Chengxin said, "Rest for a while, I'll pick you up for dinner later."

Tang Ye said in surprise, "How could I be so bold? That's too much trouble for you."

Fang Chengxin said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Just listen to my arrangements!"

Around five o'clock, Tang Ye met Fang Chengxin in his room.

Fang Chengxin took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Tang Ye, "It's only been a few months, and you've become much fairer! As expected, the water and soil of the south are nourishing."

Tang Ye waved his hand, "Brother Fang, please don't make fun of me. You look like you've lost quite a bit of weight."

Fang Chengxin sighed helplessly, "No choice, your sister-in-law forced me to; she said I was too fat and must lose weight, otherwise she would divorce me. I do morning exercises every day now."

Tang Ye said, "Sister-in-law is concerned about you. We sit in the office every day, which easily leads to sub-health; exercise can improve metabolism. You look much more energetic."

In fact, Fang Chengxin hadn't lost much weight.

However, when facing someone who is losing weight, you must praise them for being thin!

This is a display of high emotional intelligence.

Fang Chengxin took out a manuscript and handed it to Tang Ye, "At tomorrow's commendation meeting, you, as an outstanding representative, will need to give a speech. I had someone write this draft for you; take a look and see if there is anything that needs adjusting."

Tang Ye hurriedly took the manuscript, read it through quickly, and remarked with emotion, "The draft is written very well. Brother Fang, you have put your heart into this."

Fang Chengxin said with a smile, "Why be polite with me? When you go up to speak, you represent not only yourself but also Yanzhou."

Tang Ye mused that Fang Chengxin had arranged everything very well.

It made him feel like a daughter-in-law who had married far away and was returning to her maiden home.

However, this was also the result of his own hard work.

Afterward, Fang Chengxin exchanged some thoughts with Tang Ye regarding the current situation in Dayu County.

Shi Yao has strong capabilities; although she lost Tang Ye as a capable assistant, she still demonstrated great ability.

However, she and Jiang Anbang have had conflicts several times.

The relationships between people, as expected, cannot be reconciled with just a few words.

……

The next morning, the commendation meeting for the Two-Province Exchange Cadres was held in the auditorium of the Provincial Conference Center.

After Tang Ye entered the venue, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Cadres who had previous contact with Tang Ye stepped forward one after another to greet him.

Tang Ye found his seat card, and not long after he sat down, Cai Zhengqing walked into the venue and headed straight toward Tang Ye.

"Long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

The two shook hands and hugged warmly!

Cai Zhengqing was also a commended cadre, though he was seated a few spots away from Tang Ye.

Tang Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with Cai Zhengqing, when several leaders wearing jackets walked in from outside the door.

The noisy sounds inside the conference room vanished instantly.

Secretary Guo looked around the room, his gaze finally landing on Tang Ye; he walked with a steady, measured gait until he stood before Tang Ye.

"Little Tang, when did you arrive in Xijing?"

Tang Ye quickly replied, "I arrived last night!"

Secretary Guo wore a smile, "You've worked hard."

Afterward, Secretary Guo walked toward the rostrum.

Once everyone was seated, Minister Lai of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department presided over the meeting.

"Comrades!

Today is a special day, and I am very moved.

Two years ago, Shaan Province and Huai Province launched the first phase of the talent exchange program. Before we knew it, this activity has already concluded, and in the time that has passed, we have gained much.

Today's meeting aims to commend the outstanding young cadres who have performed exceptionally well.

At the same time, we will also reflect on our shortcomings and continue to work hard in future talent exchange activities.

Now, I invite Secretary Guo to the stage to speak.

Let us welcome him!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause erupted within the auditorium……
