Chapter 1165: I've Become a Deputy County Magistrate!

Hearing the vote count results!

Chen Zhihe only felt a wave of heat surging from his pores!

A sense of excitement overflowed from his body.

He had done it!

He had become a Deputy County Magistrate!

All the overtime he had put in during this period was worth it!

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

The two candidates sitting beside him masked their disappointment and took the initiative to congratulate Chen Zhihe.

"Thank you!" Chen Zhihe took the initiative to shake hands with them.

After Chen Zhihe walked onto the stage, the two looked at each other, seeing helplessness and bitterness in each other's eyes.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I learned I was nominated, but this result is also quite reasonable."

"Yeah, it's clear we were just there to make up the numbers. This Chen Zhihe really has damn good luck; he didn't do so well before, but after latching onto the new County Magistrate, he charged straight into the position of Deputy County Magistrate."

"We don't need to be discouraged. It wasn't our turn this time, but it will be eventually."

In truth, both knew clearly that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Since they couldn't reach the position of Deputy County Magistrate this time, they would likely have to go to the CPPCC or the People's Congress to occupy some idle Deputy Division Chief position for retirement.

They felt extremely depressed because they believed they didn't lose due to a lack of ability, but rather due to a lack of luck.

If they had been able to get to know Tang Ye, it wouldn't have been Chen Zhihe who seized the opportunity.

Chen Zhihe walked onto the stage and shook hands with County Party Secretary Han Zhengyi.

Han Zhengyi had a smile on his face and did not speak.

Chen Zhihe walked in front of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye took the initiative and said, "Comrade Zhihe, congratulations."

Chen Zhihe hurriedly said, "Thank you for your encouragement, County Magistrate Tang. Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard from now on and not let everyone's expectations down."

"Next, Comrade Tang Ye will deliver a speech."

Accompanied by enthusiastic applause, Tang Ye walked to the front of the stage.

A speech draft had been placed on the podium in advance.

Tang Ye pushed the speech draft aside, choosing to speak without notes.

Every speech at a major event is a rare opportunity for practical training!

Tang Ye had prepared his thoughts in advance, so he appeared extremely relaxed!

Of course, this was also because he had the confidence.

Removing the title of "Acting" was built upon numerous illustrious political achievements! It could be said to be well-deserved!

"Respected leaders, comrades: Hello everyone!

This is a moment worth remembering.

Since I began my duties in March and officially became a person of Yechuan, I have personally felt that the people of Yechuan are simple, kind, wise, and hardworking. I feel incomparably honored and proud to be able to integrate into this hot land and contribute my own meager strength.

At present, Yechuan County is at a critical period of high-quality development, with a major mission and heavy responsibility. In my future work and life, I will devote all my thoughts and energy to doing practical work and starting businesses, and I will repay the organization, the representatives, and the people of the whole county with tangible work performance.

To this end, I will resolutely achieve the following six points..."

Next was the swearing-in session for the new government team members.

Chen Zhihe had tears in his eyes during the swearing-in process.

After struggling for so many years, he had finally taken a critical step.

This was like a cultivator who had practiced bitterly for many years suddenly breaking through a bottleneck.

More importantly, there was a great deal of room for imagination regarding his future.

The fact that Han Zhengyi and Tang Ye treated him differently was actually a signal.

He had been branded with Tang Ye's label and belonged to Tang Ye's direct line.

According to Tang Ye's current position, he could become a Division Level head within five years and start charging toward a department-level position; he would only be thirty-six years old then!

Tang Ye was not old, and there would be infinite possibilities in the future.

Joining his camp now was equivalent to investing in advance...

The more he analyzed, the more certain he was that his future was bright!

After the meeting concluded, Chen Zhihe took the initiative to walk toward the County Magistrate's office.

Seeing Chen Zhihe's visit, Tang Ye smiled, "County Magistrate Chen, please sit!"

Chen Zhihe looked around Tang Ye's office; it was not large, and there were no hardcover books in the bookcase to put on a front.

A few green plants were placed in the corner.

Tang Ye poured a cup of Hanzhou Green for Chen Zhihe.

"This is tea from my hometown; you should try it."

Chen Zhihe took a sip; it was clear and cold upon entering the mouth, but the taste was slightly light.

"Good tea!"

Tang Ye smiled, "Congratulations on being successfully elected as Deputy County Magistrate."

Chen Zhihe hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Tang, it is all thanks to your recommendation."

Tang Ye waved his hand and said modestly, "It has nothing to do with me; it is mainly because your work is outstanding. Your votes were cast one by one by the People's Congress Representatives; I didn't help you canvass for votes."

Chen Zhihe laughed, "If it weren't for your recommendation, it would have been very difficult for me to reach this step on my own. You gave me the confidence and assurance."

Chen Zhihe looks honest and simple, but he is very subtle and comfortable when it comes to flattering others.

Tang Ye waved his hand with a smile, "Confidence is something you give yourself. You have withstood the test; to be precise, most of the comrades in the County Work Safety Supervision Bureau have passed."

Chen Zhihe chewed over these words of Tang Ye, and he felt a sense of epiphany.

During the Safety Production Rectification Action, the Discipline Inspection Group had once stationed themselves at the Safety Supervision Bureau and conducted interviews with all cadres, including himself.

That interview seemed like a humiliation at the time, but in fact, wasn't it preparation for his own promotion this time?

When Tang Ye chooses a person, the most important thing is to see if this person is a like-minded individual.

The way of officialdom that Tang Ye pursues is to put integrity and reputation first.

"After you are promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, the Safety Supervision Bureau will still be left for you to take charge of.

Remember, safety accidents must be placed in the primary position.

You must organize personnel to regularly inspect various major projects and eliminate hidden dangers of safety accidents, rather than waiting until problems arise to deal with them in a rush!"

Chen Zhihe said softly, "County Magistrate Tang, according to our inspections during this period, Jinniu Bridge has quite a few problems. We issued rectification opinions, but the construction party of Jinniu Bridge is not cooperating."

Tang Ye touched his chin, "Jinniu Bridge is an important provincial-level engineering project. You report the situation you've reflected to the city, and I will also report this issue to Mayor Jiang."

Chen Zhihe nodded slightly, "Very well, I will organize the materials and report them to the higher authorities later."

……

Returning to the County Work Safety Supervision Bureau.

Walking into the courtyard, someone immediately took the initiative to greet Chen Zhihe.

"Director Chen, hello."

Chen Zhihe changed his previous seriousness and nodded to everyone in greeting.

In the office, many people gathered around Chen Zhihe to chat.

"Director Chen, you're in a good mood today!"

"You need to change how you address him; you should call him County Magistrate Chen."

"It was my mistake for not reacting in time. I called him Director Chen; he won't have any objections, will he?"

"He shouldn't. He isn't that petty and doesn't care much about titles!"

"County Magistrate Chen being promoted is actually a good thing for us."

"Why do you say that?"

"County Magistrate Chen is a high-ranking appointment, which means our bureau's status will be half a level higher in the future."

"That's the logic! When we go out to handle affairs, we can hold our heads higher!"
