Chapter 117: Sister Liu Meets a Noble Person!

Returned to Pinghu Town.

Tang Ye immediately found Chen Zhihua.

He gave a detailed report on the handling of the situation in Liuqiao Village.

Chen Zhihua's mood was complex.

"I actually knew that there were problems with that plot of land in Liuqiao Village. If you hadn't handled it in time, I suspect I would have been hard-pressed to escape responsibility."

This matter was, in fact, also aimed at Chen Zhihua.

When Xu Yiping was in office, he acted like a dictator, while Chen Zhihua slacked off and went fishing all day; if one were to insist that Chen Zhihua was derelict in his duties, it would not be an exaggeration.

"Secretary, the matter has passed. Let us learn our lesson and treat every project seriously in the future so we don't make mistakes again," Tang Ye comforted Chen Zhihua.

Chen Zhihua nodded slightly; Tang Ye was indeed a good helper.

There was a saying among outsiders about the Pinghu leadership team: Tang Ye's words carried more weight in Pinghu than Chen Zhihua's.

Chen Zhihua initially felt it was a bitter pill to swallow, but after thinking about it carefully, since the suggestions and ideas Tang Ye provided were all good, why not handle things according to Tang Ye's line of thinking?

"I heard that several plots of land in Zhugou Township also have irregularities in their reviews, and Jiao Deyi has been summoned to the county for questioning," Chen Zhihua sighed. "We've poked a hornet's nest this time. Secretary Du is also under great pressure."

Tang Ye, however, had a different perspective!

"When encountering problems, deal with them actively. As long as the original intention is good, I believe the Municipal Party Committee leaders will not hold us accountable, but will give us understanding and support."

Tang Ye's judgment was not wrong!

Tianling County launched a heavy-handed strike against land transfer issues this time; at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, Zhou Chengwu gave his approval and requested that other counties and districts also conduct targeted self-inspection and self-correction.

This left Xiao Jingyu quite passive.

"Although the matter has ended, the requisition of that land has left the villagers with no fields to farm, resulting in losses. I believe we need to discuss a compensation plan."

Chen Zhihua frowned and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

Tang Ye took out a proposal and handed it to Chen Zhihua.

He had calculated the figures.

"That field has been left fallow for five years, totaling 193 mu. Calculating based on a yield of 1,200 jin per mu and 1.5 yuan per jin of rice, the compensation for five years is 1.737 million yuan. This portion of the money will be covered by Liu Guang's fines!"

"How much was Liu Guang fined?"

"In order to get a sentence reduction, he sold his self-built house and several apartments in the city, raising a total of two million!"

"I didn't expect a village official to have embezzled so much; he truly brought this upon himself! According to this plan, let's convene a meeting and discuss it together!"

In the town conference room, a leadership team meeting was held.

Chen Zhihua presided over the meeting.

At the meeting, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Cheng announced the investigation results: Liu Guang was expelled from the Party and removed from his post!

Tang Ye kept an eye on Zhong Hui's reaction.

At this moment, his mood was like an ant on a hot pan; he was restless and uneasy.

Previously, Liu Guang had acted as a go-between and introduced him to a high-end residential project.

He was secretly rejoicing at this moment that if Tang Ye had not opposed it back then, he would have approved the project.

Afterwards, Chu Kun would certainly have offered the kickback on a silver platter.

Zhong Hui might not have accepted the money, but because of his connection to Liu Guang, it would have been very difficult to clear his name at that time.

He had to admit that Tang Ye had invisibly pulled him back from the brink.

The Party Committee meeting passed the compensation plan regarding the irregularities in the Liuqiao Village land transfer.

The common folk of Liuqiao Village were immersed in joy.

Of the more than sixty households, each could receive an average of twenty to thirty thousand yuan.

In 2006, for a rural family, this was absolutely a huge sum of money.

If the land hadn't been rented out and they had farmed it themselves, they would have needed to spend money on seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and so on; in the end, it would have been good if their actual profit was ten or twenty thousand.

After Sister Liu finished collecting the payment, Xu Qiao waved at her, "Sister, Town Mayor Tang would like to invite you to his office for a chat."

Sister Liu was all smiles, "I want to thank him. But I'm afraid he's too busy, so I don't dare to disturb him."

Sister Liu walked into the office, and Tang Ye hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Liu, please sit. Xu Qiao, pour a cup of water for her."

Sister Liu held the teacup, and seeing that Tang Ye had no airs at all, she felt warm inside, "Little Tang—no, Town Mayor Tang, everyone in the village gives you a thumbs up and says you are a good official. I never dreamed that I would be able to receive so much compensation. My husband's surgery fees are finally covered."

Tang Ye took a business card out of his pocket and placed it by Sister Liu's hand, "I have already asked about your husband's situation for you. Although the surgery is high-risk, there is still a chance for recovery. I have already contacted them for you. Take your husband to complete the admission procedures as soon as possible; they will arrange for an experienced surgical Expert to perform the surgery."

Sister Liu glanced at the business card, and her eyes suddenly moistened, "Town Mayor Tang, I don't know how to thank you. Not only did you help me solve the surgery fees, but you also contacted the hospital for me. By the way, I want to ask, how much is appropriate for the Expert's red envelope!"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly and sternly cautioned, "You must not give a red envelope; that would make my father commit a mistake. By the way, Tang Yu is my father!"

A look of sudden realization appeared in Sister Liu's eyes, "So your father is the Vice President of the Municipal People's Hospital. Look at me, rambling incoherently. I will take my husband for the surgery as soon as possible."

Tang Ye smiled, "If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can contact me at any time."

Sister Liu nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears of excitement, "If you want to eat something hot, come to my house anytime!"

Tang Ye was taken aback, then laughed in spite of himself, "Okay, I will definitely visit often."

Sister Liu left the office with red eyes.

Her mood was like a dream.

Who would have thought that the young man who had shamelessly come over for a meal a few days ago would bring such earth-shaking changes to her family.

After Sister Liu left, Tang Ye sat at his desk, sorting out his thoughts.

The outbreak of land transfer issues across the county had made the County Land and Resources Bureau system jittery.

Tang Ye guessed that Du Chengfeng's approach would be to focus on rectification, while as for the cadres' responsibilities, he would prioritize stability and would not cause any major upheaval.

However, after this incident, when Fengxing Group and Haihua Group bid, the County Land and Resources Bureau should restrain itself and not open the back door wide for Fengxing Group.

Tang Ye was not necessarily trying to secure an advantage for Haihua Group, but rather hoping to create a fair competitive environment for both sides to bid.

Tang Ye's phone rang.

"Hello, Sister Tong!"

Zhang Tong said with a smile, "I just received news that the opposing Lawyer hopes to communicate with us privately and satisfy Qinge's demands as much as possible."

Tang Ye refused, "No private settlement."

Zhang Tong understood Tang Ye's meaning.

He was aiming to go to court.

Only once the lawsuit started would there be buzz, and only then could it bring heat to the Qinge brand.

Qi Meiyu sat in front of her desk, holding the court summons, her wrist trembling incessantly.

She had not expected the actions from the Qinge side to be so seasoned and ruthless.

They had actually applied for intellectual property protection for every single product.

This was simply not the vision that a township enterprise should possess!

Assistant Wei Lei knocked on the door and came in to report:

"General Manager Qi, I just contacted the Lawyer, and the other side refuses to settle with us privately. I don't know what they are thinking; isn't it just for the infringement fee? Do they really have to take it to court? Fighting a lawsuit will waste a massive amount of energy and time. They are being too irrational."

Qi Meiyu rubbed her temples, shook her head, and sighed, "The reason they filed the complaint is not as simple as just wanting an infringement fee. They hope to use the lawsuit to hype up the Qinge brand!"

Because of the infringement involvement, the overseas partners returned all the goods and even demanded a huge penalty for breach of contract.

Qi Meiyu regretted it immensely!

Choosing Plan B back then was a huge mistake!
