Chapter 1167: County Magistrate Tang is Cultivating You!
Xia Hong felt a start of alarm!
Could Minister Cheng have heard some unfavorable rumors?
She smiled and explained to Cheng Guodong,
"Tang Ye and Cheng Lin were once superior and subordinate, and they even worked on the same team; they built a deep friendship through their work. You must not misunderstand."
Cheng Guodong gave Xia Hong a faint smile, "I know my own daughter very well. I know there is absolutely nothing messy between her and Tang Ye."
Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Tang Ye's wife is pregnant, and Cheng Lin has even agreed to be the child's godmother."
Cheng Guodong nodded slightly, looking thoughtful, "To think that's the case!"
Xia Hong knew that the father-daughter relationship between Cheng Guodong and Cheng Lin was somewhat strained.
"Minister Cheng, actually, you and Cheng Lin should find an opportunity to open your hearts and have a talk."
Cheng Guodong sighed helplessly, "When things happen to others, one always feels that turning the page is easy. But when one is truly in the middle of it, it is not so simple."
After Xia Hong left, Cheng Guodong was also filled with many emotions.
Tang Ye had been urgently transferred to Yechuan County to serve as a firefighter, which had drawn much controversy.
He himself had done quite a bit of work behind the scenes.
In less than half a year, he had already completed the heavy responsibility of extinguishing the fire!
Furthermore, through clever planning, he had gradually taken control of the rhythm, giving the political atmosphere of Yechuan a brand new look!
This situation made Cheng Guodong feel deeply gratified!
Cheng Guodong felt a bit envious of Du Chengfeng!
According to Xia Hong, this son-in-law of Du Chengfeng was chosen by him personally.
He himself had done the same as him, "taking charge" to pick a son-in-law for his daughter.
His eye for picking cadres was good, but his eye for picking a son-in-law was not so great!
……
After seeing the public notice document, Du Chengfeng dialed Tang Ye's phone number.
"Congratulations on successfully becoming official."
Tang Ye laughed, "Thank you, Dad. By the way, I heard your throat hasn't been feeling well lately and you've been coughing quite severely?"
Du Chengfeng said in surprise, "Did Xi Xi tell you? It's pharyngitis; I've had it for many years, it's nothing."
Tang Ye said with concern, "You must take small ailments seriously. You must make time to go to the hospital for a check-up. Otherwise, Du Xi and I won't be able to rest easy."
Du Chengfeng laughed in spite of himself, "I'm about to lead a team to inspect another region; I'll go for a check-up after I return!"
Tang Ye said, "A check-up won't take long. How about this: I'll have my dad arrange a doctor to go to Yunhu Courtyard to wait for you this evening."
Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, "No need for such a big production. How about this: I'll communicate with your dad and set a time to go for a check-up."
Tang Ye smiled, "Fine, no problem; only then can we be at ease."
After hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Du Chengfeng shook his head, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Whenever others mentioned Tang Ye in front of him, Du Chengfeng could never help but feel a bit proud.
Many people envied him for having such a capable son-in-law.
But they only saw the surface, thinking that Tang Ye had outstanding ability and a smooth career path.
In fact, he valued Tang Ye's character and emotional intelligence even more.
In the evening, Tang Ye video-chatted with Du Xi.
"Hubby, congratulations on becoming official."
Tang Ye smiled, "Thank you. My mom accompanied you to your prenatal check-up and said you're too thin, which will affect the baby."
Du Xi said, "Why didn't she tell me that?"
Tang Ye laughed, "It's more appropriate for me to pass it on; it's less likely to cause conflict."
Du Xi said, "By the way, my dad went for a check-up."
Tang Ye asked with concern, "How were the results?"
Du Xi said, "Chronic bronchitis, everything else is normal. Dean Jiang recommended an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who wrote him a prescription to slowly recuperate."
Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
Du Xi said with a smile, "My dad is especially stubborn; he wouldn't listen to Mom or me, but as soon as you urged him, he went obediently. If there's a similar situation in the future, it'll have to be you, the son-in-law, who steps in!"
Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself, "How could I have such great influence?"
……
The public notice period for the County Government team ended.
The County Party Committee plenary session was convened.
The attendance at the plenary session was quite complete.
County Party Secretary Han Zhengyi presided over the meeting, "Today's meeting has an important agenda item, which is the personnel adjustment for the County Party Committee Standing Committee.
The team still has one vacancy for a Standing Committee Member, and after the County Government added positions, the Standing Committee needs to be adjusted.
Several candidates were nominated previously, and the higher-level Party organization organized a special inspection team to conduct an inspection.
The inspection content included the candidates' political performance, work ability, and integrity and self-discipline.
During the inspection process, the opinions and suggestions of cadres and the masses were widely heard;
After inspection and review, the following comrades meet the conditions.
Now, please cast your votes for the candidates."
The plenary session vote concluded, and the result was no different from what had been discussed by the Standing Committee previously.
Zhao Kaiyuan was the biggest winner.
After taking the position of Executive Deputy County Magistrate, his ranking moved from eleventh to fourth.
And Li Yongan unexpectedly squeezed into the Standing Committee, becoming the second biggest winner!
After Li Yongan learned this news, he breathed a sigh of relief; although he knew his chances this time were high, he still couldn't help but feel deeply moved now that he had finally gotten his wish.
Li Yongan walked onto the stage.
The people below were whispering and discussing.
"Does Li Yongan have someone backing him?"
"Definitely! Otherwise, how could he have risen from the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau to Standing Committee Deputy County Mayor in less than two years?"
"Before, many people said that Li Yongan being promoted to Deputy County Magistrate was just sheer dumb luck. Now it seems everyone underestimated Li Yongan; his background is unfathomable."
"He has no damn background! If he had a background back then, why would he have been assigned to oversee emergency management, such a thankless job!"
"He just got lucky, catching the arrival of the new County Magistrate and gaining the new County Magistrate's appreciation!"
"Damn it, why don't I have such good luck!"
The meeting concluded.
Li Yongan received a call from his wife.
"How did it go?"
Li Yongan covered the phone and walked to a secluded corner, "I was selected. However, there is still the public notice phase to go through."
His wife cheered on the phone, "Husband, you are truly amazing. Isn't the public notice just a formality?"
Li Yongan confirmed no one was around and said with a smile, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"
His wife said happily, "Don't worry, I'm not that shallow. Before, I felt you were being squeezed like an old ox by County Magistrate Tang, but now I finally understand that County Magistrate Tang was grooming you! Husband, I'm sorry; for a while, I often lost my temper with you, didn't understand you, mocked you, and even doubted you."
Li Yongan laughed heartily, "I was indeed too busy a while ago and neglected you and the family. I expect I will be even busier in the future. There is a major demolition in the east, and many things require me to handle them."
His wife said sincerely, "I will never pester you unreasonably again. You focus on your career; you don't need to worry about things at home."
"Thank you for your understanding!"
Hanging up his wife's call,
Li Yongan fiercely pumped his fist.
At this moment, he only felt refreshed and invigorated, and the long-standing gloom was swept away!
