Chapter 1183: Want You to Step In!

Tang Ye accompanied the Provincial Government delegation to Liaoning to attend the High-end Manufacturing Summit.

Within the delegation, he saw Zhang Nan, Deputy Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

He took the initiative to greet Zhang Nan, but Zhang Nan's reaction was very cold.

Zhang Nan only felt that Tang Ye looked somewhat familiar and did not actually recognize him.

There were many people in this delegation, the vast majority of whom were officials at or above the Deputy Department Level; she was not about to pay special attention to a Division Level official.

Zhang Nan introduced a young man to Provincial Governor Fu, "Provincial Governor Fu, this is Hou. At the summit in a few days, he will serve as the presenter for our delegation."

Provincial Governor Fu nodded at Hou, "Presenting is a battlefield; you must prepare diligently!"

Hou was very nervous; facing Provincial Governor Fu, he could not even utter a single word.

……

Upon arriving at the hotel, Tang Ye took the initiative to go to Jiang Jinpeng's room and presented him with a small gift box.

Jiang Jinpeng opened it and saw an exquisitely carved jade ornament; he frowned and said, "Isn't this too valuable?"

Tang Ye waved his hand and smiled, "The material is quite ordinary, but the carving is absolutely top-tier. I had a friend carve it."

Jiang Jinpeng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "They say Hanzhou jade is the best in the world; I will accept this gift."

Subsequently, Jiang Jinpeng took out a calligraphy copybook for Tang Ye.

The copybook was created by a famous master from the Calligraphy Association.

This was a case of returning a gift for a gift.

……

After arriving in Shengjing, the provincial capital of Liaoning.

Jiang Jinpeng led Tang Ye to Shengjing University to visit an old friend of his.

Shengjing University's military industry field ranked at the forefront nationwide, especially its aerospace major, which was an absolutely dominant discipline in the country.

Jiang Jinpeng introduced his old friend to Tang Ye, "This is Principal Ji; we have known each other for many years. Brother Ji, let me introduce you; this is my student, Tang Ye, who serves as the County Magistrate in Yechuan County."

Ji Wenchang looked Tang Ye up and down and said in surprise, "You look very young! How old are you this year?"

Tang Ye hurriedly said modestly, "Principal Ji, I am thirty-one years old this year."

Ji Wenchang was surprised, "To be able to serve as a County Magistrate at thirty-one is rare even across the country."

Jiang Jinpeng said with a smile, "Don't let his youth fool you; he is very capable. Previously, while working on poverty alleviation in Dayu County, he accomplished many things that became famous nationwide. By the way, the Dayu Women's High School was discovered by him."

Dayu Women's High School was a symbol that had broken through the mainstream.

Especially in the education system, everyone was paying attention to this matter.

With this, Tang Ye immediately captured Ji Wenchang's attention.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Ye changed, and he said with a smile, "No wonder I thought you looked familiar; you are that internet-famous County Magistrate, right?"

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised and said modestly, "Thank you for your attention, Principal Ji; that is indeed me."

Jiang Jinpeng said with a smile, "The purpose of our visit to Liaoning this time is as I told you before. Huai Province intends to build a new intelligent manufacturing city in Yechuan County and would like to invite Shengjing University to join in."

Ji Wenchang nodded slightly, "Thank you for your invitation; we also have the intention to cooperate closely with the Government. However, regarding the details, we still need to deliberate."

For the school, establishing a research institute in Yechuan was not a bad thing, because they could receive government subsidies.

For the local area, they could utilize the research institute to conduct industry-university-research cooperation and supplement their insufficient technological foundation.

However, for Ji Wenchang, there were many places he could choose from; he did not necessarily have to choose Yechuan. He had to comprehensively consider the policies and talent subsidies provided by the locality.

Jiang Jinpeng's advantage lay in the fact that he was originally a professor at Qiongjin University and possessed connections and resources in the higher education circle, so he could bring great help to local development in terms of industry-university-research layout.

Jiang Jinpeng and Tang Ye had just walked out of Shengjing University.

Jiang Jinpeng received a call from Liu Yang.

"Professor Jiang, are you with Tang Ye?"

Jiang Jinpeng was somewhat surprised, "Yes, I am with him. Is there something the matter?"

Liu Yang said, "There is a government promotion event at the exhibition tomorrow morning. The staff member responsible for the promotion has come down with acute laryngitis and cannot speak; we need someone to take their place.

Provincial Governor Fu thought of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye has a great image and excellent expression skills; he wants him to come and step in."

Jiang Jinpeng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It is quite unexpected for something like this to happen at a critical moment! I am very familiar with Tang Ye's abilities. Provincial Governor Fu has a good eye; choosing Tang Ye is the right move. I will communicate with him in a moment!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jinpeng smiled helplessly, "There is a tricky matter that requires you to step up."

Tang Ye said in surprise, "What tricky matter?"

Jiang Jinpeng said, "Tomorrow at the Huai Province Government promotion meeting, the main speaker has come down with acute laryngitis, and Provincial Governor Fu has handpicked you."

Tang Ye said, "The Provincial Government is full of talent; how could it ever be my turn?"

Jiang Jinpeng laughed in spite of himself, "Don't be modest. You have participated in many projects with me before, and I have great confidence in your presentation skills. As for Provincial Governor Fu, he also has his own understanding of you. Time is short; let's go back to the hotel, and you should prepare quickly and strive to carry this through."

Tang Ye thought to himself that he was really being treated as a firefighter.

However, from another perspective, this was also an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities in front of Provincial Governor Fu.

For Provincial Governor Fu, he also intended to use this to test Tang Ye's capabilities.

……

Returning to the hotel room, not long after, the doorbell rang.

Liu Yang walked in hurriedly with a stack of presentation materials and placed them in front of Tang Ye, "These are the contents for tomorrow's presentation. Provincial Governor Fu attaches great importance to this presentation; you must familiarize yourself with the materials quickly."

Tang Ye took the materials and smiled, "Brother Liu, it was you who recommended me to Provincial Governor Fu, right?"

Liu Yang waved his hand and smiled, "It was mainly because Provincial Governor Fu had heard Director Jiang mention your eloquence before, and I just happened to mention it. If Provincial Governor Fu didn't have a deep impression of you, my nagging wouldn't have been of any use. You must not drop the ball!"

Tang Ye took a deep breath, "Brother Liu, thank you; I will seize this opportunity."

Liu Yang thought to himself that Tang Ye's attitude was very upright, and he patted Tang Ye on the shoulder, "I believe in your ability. You should prepare quickly; I won't disturb you anymore."

Tang Ye saw Liu Yang out of the room and immediately began to read the presentation materials; these materials were prepared very solidly and with great care.

However, in Tang Ye's view, there were still some shortcomings, so Tang Ye added some of his own understanding.

Of course, Tang Ye still took care to control the scale and degree, and did not make large-scale changes!

The next morning, Tang Ye received a call from Liu Yang, went downstairs, and followed the motorcade to the venue.

Liu Yang introduced Tang Ye to Zhang Nan, "Director Zhang, this is Tang Ye. Comrade Hou from your unit has developed a throat problem, so to ensure the effectiveness of the presentation, Provincial Governor Fu designated him to be responsible for the presentation."

Zhang Nan looked at Tang Ye in surprise, assuming he was a spokesperson specially trained by the Provincial Government Office, and nodded slightly, "Little Tang, this presentation today is of a very high level; the participating leaders are of the same rank as Provincial Governor Fu, and leaders from the National Development and Reform Commission are also present.

You must keep your composure, do not be nervous, and perform well!"

Seeing that Zhang Nan still did not recognize him, Tang Ye smiled faintly, "Alright, Director Zhang, I will take it seriously!"
