Chapter 1168: Zheng Shaokang Takes the Initiative to Move Closer!

Zheng Shaokang sat in his office, silent for a long time.

During this period, he had cracked many major cases!

However, in this recent personnel reshuffle in the county, his position had not changed!

This left him feeling depressed and disappointed.

What was incomprehensible and infuriating was that Li Yongan had actually squeezed into the County Party Committee as a Standing Committee Member.

Li Yongan was nothing but an opportunist; regardless of his foundation or seniority, he could not compare to himself.

The only explanation was that Li Yongan had better luck than him and had encountered Tang Ye.

Relying on his performance in the major rectification of work safety and the major rectification of administrative capability, Li Yongan had directly moved a step forward!

When it came down to it, it was all thanks to Tang Ye's support...

As for Tang Ye choosing Li Yongan, it was also a clear statement.

As long as someone followed him, regardless of their background or seniority, as long as they could work in a down-to-earth manner, he would promote them.

Zheng Shaokang was the Deputy County Magistrate concurrently serving as the Public Security Bureau Chief, but because he had been labeled with Han Zhengyi's tag, Tang Ye still had doubts about his loyalty, so Zheng Shaokang decided to have more contact with Tang Ye to let him understand him on a deeper level.

Zheng Shaokang took the initiative to call him.

"County Magistrate Tang, are you free now? There is a matter I would like to report to you!"

"Mm, I am free. Come over!"

Tang Ye had a good impression of Zheng Shaokang and could also see his inner desire to move closer to him.

However, Tang Ye maintained a certain distance, mainly because he still remained guarded against Zheng Shaokang.

Before fully understanding someone, he would not easily trust or promote them.

Zheng Shaokang walked into the office, and after sitting down, he said in a somewhat spirited tone,

"County Magistrate Tang, in the process of tracking Wu Xiuyuan's whereabouts, we discovered his trail."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, "Where is he?"

"He fled to Min Province and is working under a boss surnamed Lai," Zheng Shaokang said softly.

Tang Ye reminded him, "Arrange for people to keep an eye on him. Cross-provincial cases, while tricky, could become a major case with influence if not handled well!"

Zheng Shaokang said with a solemn expression, "Understood, I will have people watch him."

Tang Ye knew Zheng Shaokang's state of mind like the back of his hand.

Stimulated by Li Yongan, Zheng Shaokang was actively and proactively moving closer...

Tang Ye patted Zheng Shaokang on the shoulder, "We have known each other for some time. You have cracked many cases recently, and both Secretary Han and I have kept it in mind. When the time is right, I will recommend you."

Hearing Tang Ye's encouragement, Zheng Shaokang's depressed mood was swept away, "Thank you for the encouragement, County Magistrate Tang!"

Leaving Tang Ye's office, Zheng Shaokang's mood improved.

He understood Tang Ye's character well; he valued promises and meant what he said.

If he said he would recommend him, then he would definitely recommend him.

Now that there were no suitable positions in the county, would Tang Ye recommend him to the city?

One had to know that Tang Ye was Mayor Jiang's confidant; if he could put in a good word before Mayor Jiang, he might be able to enter the Municipal Public Security Bureau and occupy a core position!

Having figured it out, Zheng Shaokang's drive was also sufficient.

The hot blood in his body began to burn.

He liked reporting work to Tang Ye because, from their understated conversations, he could often find the entry point for his work.

After Zheng Shaokang left, Tang Ye dialed Jiang Jing's phone number.

The two communicated about the issue of Yang Guoxiong, the Vice Mayor in charge of transportation!

Yang Guoxiong returned to his residence and took off his suit.

His wife took the suit from his hands, and a scent drifted into her nose.

She frowned, sniffed it, and said with a gloomy face, "Why is there the smell of perfume? Be honest with me, do you have a woman outside?"

Yang Guoxiong rolled his eyes at his wife, "Don't be suspicious. I have to meet so many people every day, many of whom are female comrades. Isn't it normal to get some perfume on me when shaking hands?"

His wife looked at Yang Guoxiong suspiciously.

Yang Guoxiong walked into the study with a gloomy face.

His wife suddenly felt some regret; had she wrongly blamed Yang Guoxiong?

Yang Guoxiong returned to the study with a look of helplessness on his face; every time he was with Jin Baoling, he was extremely careful, ensuring there was no scent on him after showering before returning home!

How could there be the smell of perfume on his clothes? Could it be that Jin Baoling had done something?

Thinking of this, Yang Guoxiong felt a lingering fear, because he had always felt that Jin Baoling was within his controllable range.

Jin Baoling seemed to be getting a bit restless.

He enjoyed his current state of life, with the prerequisite that the "red flag at home" did not fall.

To him, Jin Baoling was merely his tool.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was very henpecked.

In fact, Yang Guoxiong was only afraid of his brother-in-law.

The reason Yang Guoxiong was able to reach the position of Vice Mayor in Xiyang City was mainly because his brother-in-law held a very important position in the Ministry of Finance.

His brother-in-law doted on his wife very much; if he made his wife angry, his brother-in-law would definitely cause him trouble.

Yang Guoxiong sat in his seat and sulked for a while.

The study door was pushed open, and his wife walked in with a solemn expression, holding a long hair in her hand, "This was found in your pocket. How do you explain this?"

Yang Guoxiong was startled, but he quickly controlled his emotions, "What can a single hair prove? I don't know where it came from either. I've been tired all day, can you stop pestering me with this nonsense?"

His wife covered her face and began to cry bitterly.

Yang Guoxiong was silent for a moment, walked up to his wife, and wanted to embrace her.

She pushed him away with a shove.

Yang Guoxiong's expression turned cold, "Calm down, I'm going out for a while."

After Yang Guoxiong left, his wife dialed her brother's number.

Her brother sensed something was wrong with her tone and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, I suspect Yang Guoxiong has a woman on the side."

Her brother was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that since his brother-in-law was now the Mayor, it wasn't actually strange for him to have a woman on the side.

"I know Guoxiong; he isn't that kind of person. Do you have any evidence?"

"I smelled women's perfume on him, and I also found a few long brown hairs in his pocket."

"You didn't catch him in the act! I will have a talk with him, so stop being so suspicious."

"Alright!" Hearing her brother say this, the wife of Yang felt much better.

Yang Guoxiong was sitting in his car when his brother-in-law's call came through.

Yang Guoxiong knew his wife had complained, so he helplessly answered the phone, "Brother, is something the matter?"

"I heard you two had a fight, so I'm here to persuade you."

"Brother, I've caused you worry. I'm fine. She suspects me of cheating, but I can search my conscience and say I am very loyal to our marriage."

Xue Sijiang was silent for a few seconds, then reminded him, "A woman's intuition is still very sharp; I hope you will conduct yourself well. Someone who cannot manage their family relationships well will also find it hard to achieve great things in their career!"

Yang Guoxiong shivered, "You are right to remind me; I will go back and apologize to her later."

Xue Sijiang continued to press him, "By the way, I heard there is a Deputy Bureau Chief at the Xiyang City Environmental Bureau, a woman with the surname Jin, who is quite pretty. Are you familiar with her?"

Yang Guoxiong hurriedly distanced himself, "I really don't know much about a Deputy Bureau Chief surnamed Jin. Do you need her information? I can pull it for you."

Xue Sijiang secretly thought that Yang Guoxiong really knew how to play dumb...

"There's no need for the information; her reputation is poor, so you must keep your distance from her!"
