Chapter 119: The Layout Was Only for This Day!

Tang Ye and Gu Wenqin followed Shen Datong into the office.

Shen Datong enthusiastically poured tea.

"Town Mayor Tang, if you have any matters in the future, just call me directly; there is no need to trouble County Party Secretary Du. He is exceptionally busy with work, and we should try to save him some worry."

"I am not very familiar with Bureau Chief Shen, so I felt embarrassed to speak up on my own initiative. That is why I asked County Party Secretary Du to step in and give you a heads-up. If there was any presumption on my part, I hope you can forgive me."

Shen Datong gave a secret, bitter smile.

You call this a report, and it is certainly not as simple as a mere presumption!

Tang Ye was satisfied!

But he himself had been severely criticized by Du Chengfeng!

"And who is this?"

"Let me introduce her to you. She is a well-known female entrepreneur from our town, Gu Wenqin, a CPPCC Member and People's Congress Representative."

"I believe I have seen your interview; you are an excellent woman." Shen Datong finally had an impression. "By the way, where are the materials for your product?"

Gu Wenqin hurriedly handed the materials and samples to Shen Datong. "Bureau Chief Shen, I must trouble you with this."

Shen Datong quickly flipped through the materials, his expression turning grave. "The testing equipment in our county is not as comprehensive as the city's, so many products need to be sent to the city for testing. Generally speaking, it takes a month to issue a report. However, County Party Secretary Du has given instructions that we must hurry. I will personally deliver these items to the City Bureau later and strive to have the report ready by next Monday."

Gu Wenqin felt a weight lift from her heart and said gratefully, "Thank you, Bureau Chief Shen."

Shen Datong glanced at Tang Ye. "You should thank Town Mayor Tang. If it weren't for his sake, I would certainly have followed the normal procedures and handled this strictly by the book."

Tang Ye mused that Shen Datong was quite slick in handling people and affairs. "Bureau Chief Shen, it is almost lunchtime. Shall we have a simple meal together?"

Shen Datong organized the materials and smiled as he refused. "I have no appetite until I finish the task the County Party Secretary has assigned! There is still time, so I will head to the City Bureau to handle this now. If I wait until the afternoon to send the materials, the matter will be delayed."

Gu Wenqin thought to herself that it was indeed true that having connections in high places made things easier.

Once Tang Ye made a phone call, the efficiency of the office was completely different.

"Very well, Bureau Chief Shen, then I will trouble you. Once the matter is settled, I will organize a gathering, and I insist that you do me the honor of attending."

"Haha, I will be the one to organize the gathering; there are quite a few friends who are very curious about you!"

Shen Datong took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Tang Ye shook it, gave it a light shake, and smiled as he said goodbye.

Shen Datong personally saw Tang Ye and Gu Wenqin to their car.

Once the car disappeared from sight, a grave look appeared in his eyes.

He returned to his office and summoned Li Yan, the Deputy Bureau Chief in charge of the Testing Institute.

Facing his subordinate, Shen Datong's face no longer held its previous amiability.

"I have emphasized many times in meetings that we must maintain strict work discipline. Why is Wang Lang still assigned to the service window? Isn't this like placing a ticking time bomb on the front lines? Have Wang Lang write a statement regarding what just happened and make a proper self-criticism."

Deputy Bureau Chief Li Yan roughly guessed what had happened; Wang Lang must have been slacking off and was caught red-handed by the leadership from above!

Li Yan said with difficulty, "Wang Lang has worked in our unit for many years. You should have some understanding of his personality. I am afraid he will not criticize himself!"

Wang Lang had been at the Quality Supervision Bureau for quite a few years.

In terms of age, he was similar to Li Yan, yet he was still just a Clerk, which was why he had always felt disgruntled.

Not only was he lazy in his work, but he also liked to make things difficult for others; he was a well-known troublemaker.

However, it was clear that Li Yan had other motives for placing him in that position.

What happened today was bound to happen sooner or later!

Sometimes, if you want to get rid of someone, you can place them in a position that does not match their abilities.

"Then don't have him write it; just have him take early retirement!" Shen Datong's face turned livid, and he slammed the desk in anger. "This guy has caused a huge disaster today!"

Li Yan felt a secret thrill and feigned shock. "Were the two people who came earlier from the city's unannounced inspection team?"

Shen Datong gave a cold snort. "Even more troublesome than people from the city. Tang Ye brought someone in to handle business, ended up being given a hard time, and then called County Party Secretary Du directly to file a complaint."

"Town Mayor Tang of Pinghu Town?"

"That's right, it's him! This guy is like Nezha! He has turned the land and resources system into a complete mess! We cannot let Wang Lang's mistake alone smash everyone's rice bowl."

Li Yan was so shocked that his hair stood on end.

The Testing Institute was the department he was in charge of; if they were held accountable, he would certainly be the one to take the fall.

"Understood, I will go handle Wang Lang right now!"

"Doesn't he complain about hardship and fatigue all day long? Just tell him to go home and retire!"

Shen Datong's decisiveness made Li Yan's scalp tingle.

Shen Datong was famous for his good temper!

This matter had touched his reverse scale.

After Bureau Chief Shen suddenly appeared in the lobby, Wang Lang's eyelid had been twitching, and he vaguely guessed that something bad had happened.

Sure enough, he received a call from Li Yan ordering him to go to the conference room.

He arrived at the conference room.

He saw Li Yan and the Deputy Bureau Chief in charge of the Discipline Inspection Department sitting there, looking fully prepared.

Wang Lang's heart instantly went cold.

"Wang Lang, we are talking to you today because we hope you will comply with the organization's arrangements and voluntarily submit an application for early retirement!"

"Why? I don't agree. Are you deliberately targeting me?"

"You used your position to make things difficult for people coming to handle business, and the County Party Secretary already knows about it! The higher-ups demand that this be handled strictly. Over these many years, there have been many complaints about you to the Discipline Inspection Department that have always been suppressed. You had better behave yourself!"

"You have used your position to make things difficult for people coming to handle their affairs, and the County Party Secretary already knows about it! The higher-ups demand that this be handled strictly. For so many years, the Discipline Inspection Department has had many complaints about you that were always suppressed. You had better behave yourself!"

Wang Lang's eyes widened.

Only then did he realize that the young man beside Gu Wenqin could actually contact the County Party Secretary directly!

Only then did he realize that the young man beside Gu Wenqin could actually communicate directly with the County Party Secretary!

After half an hour of "ideological work"!

Under pressure, Wang Lang finally accepted the punishment of early retirement.

For him, this was already the most decent outcome!

……

Monday.

Gu Wenqin obtained the product inspection report.

After Tang Ye finished reading the report, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Wenqin had strictly controlled the product quality; she had not sacrificed quality in pursuit of profit, and the materials used were all very conscientious.

Tang Ye subsequently had Lin Ziyang upload the report to the product detail page.

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

March 15, 2006.

The CCTV 3·15 Gala exposed numerous enterprises with product quality issues.

One piece of news, in particular, attracted the attention of a vast number of female consumers.

"Reporters conducted spot checks on nearly 50 domestic women's underwear brands. The unqualified brands identified include Aimer, Niya, Xuanting, Weili, Rouban, etc. The main unqualified items involved were fiber content, formaldehyde content, and decomposable aromatic amine dyes."

After the inferior underwear was exposed, the female population was filled with anxiety.

Everyone went home and dug out their own underwear to see if they had been named!

At the same time, several "news" items regarding Qinge appeared on the internet.

"Qinge Appeals: Establish Industry Standards for Underwear to Protect Women's Safety!"

"Qinge Suffers Plagiarism and Infringement; High Quality Sells Hotly in Many Southeast Asian Countries!"

"Qinge Underwear: More Suitable for Orientals than International Brands!"

……

Tang Ye had been prepared long ago; he had written these articles in advance and released them while taking advantage of the 315 heat!

In 2006, the internet for releasing information did not have as strict a review process as print media, and the cost was very low.

These corporate advertorials disguised as "news" achieved a surprisingly successful effect!

"Ziyang, has there been any change in sales?"

"Brother Ye, orders have exploded! The customer service team can't keep up; I need to hire more people."

Looking at the changes in the backend traffic data, Lin Ziyang could not hide his shock and joy.

He had previously not known what the purpose of those arrangements by Tang Ye was.

Only now did he suddenly realize.

Everything before was just laying the groundwork, all for this very day!

Tang Ye hung up the phone with Lin Ziyang and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of this industry crisis, the brand Qinge was enough to occupy a place in the first tier.

As for the factory that Qi Meiyu invested in, it became a stepping stone and suffered a crushing defeat!

Tang Ye first organized his thoughts, then dialed Qi Meiyu's phone number……
