Chapter 1170: Unleashing the Critical Killing Move!

Jin Baoling left the room.

Yang Guoxiong dialed Secretary Fang's number.

"Secretary Fang, do you remember the matter I mentioned to you last time?"

Secretary Fang paused for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Is it about the transfer arrangements for Jin Baoling?"

Yang Guoxiong laughed, "Yes. Although Jin Baoling is a female comrade, she has strong work capabilities and pursues progress. I believe that once she reaches the provincial level, she will have a higher platform and will certainly have good development."

Secretary Fang nodded and said, "I have already asked about this matter for you. I will have the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department send a transfer letter to the Xiyang Municipal Organization Department later."

Yang Guoxiong breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much."

Secretary Fang waved his hand, "No need to be so polite with me. By the way, does Director Xue have time to return to the province for a visit recently?"

Yang Guoxiong said, "My wife's birthday is next week, and I have already sent an invitation to Director Xue. Barring any accidents, he will return."

Secretary Fang's eyes lit up, "When Director Xue returns, you must notify me. I will make the arrangements."

Yang Guoxiong said with a smile, "Alright, I will communicate with him when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone with Secretary Fang, Yang Guoxiong breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally arranged Jin Baoling in a suitable position.

Although Jin Baoling did not have a high level of education, she looked good and was also quite open-minded.

Once she reached a new platform, she would use her own advantages to find room for survival.

Jin Baoling mentioning that she seemed to be followed also solidified Yang Guoxiong's idea of drawing a clear line with her.

He rubbed his temples and took a sip of tea when his cell phone rang; it was a call from Chen Ning.

"Mayor Yang, I just received news that the Yechuan County Audit Bureau is currently auditing the transportation infrastructure projects of the past few years."

Yang Guoxiong's eyes spewed fire, "Yechuan County again! Why do they keep finding trouble for me all day long?"

Chen Ning said helplessly, "After Zhang Lei was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, besides being involved with underworld forces, he was also implicated in corruption issues regarding infrastructure projects."

Yang Guoxiong slammed the table in anger, "You must withstand the pressure!"

Chen Ning nodded, "I will have the construction contractors make full preparations. Yechuan County is spiraling out of control; Mayor Yang, you also need to exert some pressure."

Yang Guoxiong said helplessly, "Tang Ye is playing an Open Conspiracy, and he has Mayor Jiang as his backer... I have no choice either."

Chen Ning sighed, "Mayor Yang, why don't you have a good talk with him?"

Yang Guoxiong was silent, "How about this, you go and sound him out."

Yang Guoxiong initially felt that it was impossible for him to be unable to defeat even a County Magistrate.

Letting Zhang Lei tacitly allow the minibus owners in Yechuan County to cause trouble was originally intended to create problems for Tang Ye.

He did not expect that Tang Ye would not only solve it perfectly but also go with the flow and use his own strength against him...

The Cargo Transportation Association, which originally had lucrative income, was also wiped out in one fell swoop.

Yang Guoxiong really found it hard to swallow this bitter pill.

But if he continued to go against Tang Ye, it would definitely be disadvantageous to him in the end.

After Zhang Lei's incident, Yang Guoxiong had a bad premonition.

Although Zhang Lei had no direct contact with Yang Guoxiong, if one were to dig deep, there might be some economic leverage.

If Zhang Lei could not keep his mouth shut, would it implicate him?

Yang Guoxiong's head was buzzing.

He knew why the problems in the Yechuan County Transportation Bureau had come to light; it was mainly because Tang Ye was pushing some Huimin Bus project!

Yang Guoxiong had originally opposed this project, but now that Yechuan had started it, other counties and districts were also submitting applications one after another, requesting to launch the Huimin Bus village-to-village access.

This brought a heavy workload to Yang Guoxiong.

After receiving the order from Mayor Yang, Chen Ning pondered for a while and decided to call Tang Ye.

To see if he could persuade Tang Ye to stop there!

Tang Ye received Chen Ning's call.

He did not have a good impression of this City Transportation Bureau director.

After all, when he had personally visited to push for the Huimin Bus previously, he had been intentionally snubbed by Chen Ning.

Tang Ye was not exactly small-minded, but he was quite vengeful!

"County Magistrate Tang, this is Chen Ning."

"Director Chen, may I ask what the matter is?"

Chen Ning said, "Major problems have occurred in the Yechuan County transportation system recently, and I would like to have a chat with you."

Tang Ye sensed that Chen Ning was trying to ease the relationship and said calmly, "Director Chen, this matter is being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission. I don't know any more about the situation than you do."

Chen Ning secretly thought that Tang Ye was really good at playing dumb, and he was silent for a few seconds, "Previously, our supervision was insufficient, and we bear responsibility. I suggest, can the rectification of the transportation chaos in Yechuan County stop here? After all, family scandals should not be made public; if the fig leaf is completely removed, no one will be able to save face."

Tang Ye smiled indifferently, "Director Chen, if nothing else, just looking at the arrest of Zhang Lei, the common people are very supportive. You are being too nervous."

Chen Ning paused for a moment and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Tang, how about this, I will treat you to a meal tomorrow afternoon, and we can talk about this matter together. If there were any misunderstandings before, we can also clear the air."

Tang Ye said, "Thank you for the invitation, Director Chen. We didn't have any misunderstandings before; it's just that everyone's positions were different. There is no need for a meal."

Chen Ning did not expect Tang Ye to directly reject his signal of goodwill.

His mood at this moment also hit rock bottom.

Tang Ye hung up the phone with Chen Ning, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

When he was left waiting in the cold by you back then, you probably didn't expect today's situation!

This is what they call: yesterday you ignored me, today I make you unable to climb high enough to reach me!

Although the investigation into Zhang Lei had already been handed over to the County Discipline Inspection Commission, Tang Ye still paid attention to this matter.

It was too late for Chen Ning to wave the white flag now.

Now, he could unleash his critical killing move...

He held control over a key department in his hands, which was the County Audit Bureau.

There is an unspoken rule in grassroots Government: the "three no-direct-supervision" policy.

The top leaders of the Party and Government cannot directly oversee personnel, finance, or engineering projects.

These sensitive areas must be managed by deputies to prevent the top leader from having excessive power and creating risks of corruption.

However, while a County Magistrate might not directly oversee the Finance Bureau, they must keep a firm grip on the Audit Bureau.

This is because auditing is the final line of defense for supervising fiscal funds.

Through the Audit Bureau, the County Magistrate can indirectly grasp the flow of fiscal funds.

And they can use audit results to manage and evaluate subordinate units.

The Audit Bureau has the final say on whether the flow and use of fiscal funds are compliant.

At the grassroots level, money is the lifeblood.

The operation of the county-level Government and the implementation of projects all cannot do without fiscal funds, and the Audit Bureau's task is to keep an eye on where this money goes.

The Audit Bureau is the "Discipline Inspection Commission" of the economic sphere.

As County Magistrate, the Audit Bureau is an excellent tool; it can both prevent economic risks and intimidate subordinates.

But for the units being audited, the arrival of the Audit Bureau is like "Judgment Day."

Many units "keep a respectful distance" from the Audit Bureau, yet they have no choice but to accept its supervision.

Tang Ye dialed the phone number of the Audit Bureau Director, Shen Gaoling...
