Chapter 1195: The Key Person is Tang Ye!

~8 min read 1,416 words

Tang Ye returned to his office and called Li Yongan. "Old Li, come to my office for a moment."

"Alright, I'll be right over!"

Before Li Yongan knocked on Tang Ye's office door, his mood was somewhat complicated.

Today's County Party Standing Committee meeting made Li Yongan feel what it meant to have undercurrents surging.

Before Tang Ye came to Yechuan, Han Zhengyi was a very assertive County Party Secretary, and he had a strong desire for control.

The top leader and the second-in-command naturally have differences on certain issues.

Although Tang Ye knew Han Zhengyi was willing to cooperate with his plans, he could still see that on the issue of the Strategic Eastward Expansion, there was a slight deviation from his own ideas.

It was mainly a difference in stance.

As County Party Secretary, Han Zhengyi needed to maintain the stability of the entire Yechuan civil service team.

In less than a year, Tang Ye had carried out an inside-out transformation of the Yechuan County government team.

Now, there was also a group of supporters within the County Party Committee.

This change had aroused Han Zhengyi's vigilance.

Han Zhengyi acknowledged that Tang Ye's arrival in Yechuan County had brought a brand-new atmosphere.

However, he would not easily accept handing over the initiative for government development.

Tang Ye felt the voting results at the Standing Committee meeting were somewhat strange.

When things go against the norm, there must be something sinister.

Shi Guangrong taking the initiative to align with him had signs of being intentional.

But the extra two votes were somewhat abrupt.

It seemed more like they were secretly instructed by Han Zhengyi.

Deliberately designed to create this situation.

There was such a possibility!

Deep down, Han Zhengyi was also unwilling to accept the terms proposed by Chai Zhenkun.

Han Zhengyi pushed him out to act as a shield.

Although it was somewhat unkind, Tang Ye could understand it.

The way of officialdom lies in balance.

Han Zhengyi was a person with many ideas and was also very good at calculating.

His strength might not lie in economic work.

But in terms of management ability, he was definitely an expert.

If it were himself, he might have done the same thing!

In short, he had learned a trick from Han Zhengyi!

What it means to show weakness to the enemy, and to advance by retreating!

After Li Yongan sat down, Tang Ye instructed, "Next, the government must focus its work on the Strategic Eastward Expansion. The previous land requisition and demolition work was handled by Chen Shan; her work pressure is quite high, so you must cooperate well."

Li Yongan hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Tang, I will definitely complete the task you have assigned."

Tang Ye took out a work schedule, "Demolish the several villages near the New Train Station within half a month."

Li Yongan nodded, "I will go and look into the situation later."

Tang Ye said, "If you encounter trouble, tell me at any time."

After Li Yongan left, Tang Ye dialed Chen Shan's phone number.

"County Magistrate, is there something?"

Tang Ye said, "Communicate with Zhenao Group; the proposal they put forward to substitute land for compensation has been rejected by the County Party Standing Committee."

Chen Shan did not find this news strange; if the government had agreed, that would have been shocking and regrettable.

"Alright, I will communicate with Zhenao."

Tang Ye comforted her, "I know you are in a difficult position right now; the government wants to grasp the progress of the demolition, and Zhenao has offered unreasonable chips.

But you must grit your teeth, hold on, and withstand the pressure.

I have already instructed Comrade Li Yongan to support you and share some of the pressure for you."

Chen Shan said, "Alright, thank you for understanding the difficulties of our work."

Subsequently, Chen Shan dialed Li Wenbo's phone number.

"The County Party Standing Committee has studied and decided to reject the proposal of substituting land for compensation."

Li Wenbo was somewhat puzzled, "County Magistrate Chen, we have shown the greatest sincerity."

Chen Shan said helplessly, "Are you sure it is really sincerity? There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world; you must follow the rules of the game and not go too far."

Chen Shan's attitude made Li Wenbo furious; he thought to himself, a Deputy County Magistrate actually dares to talk to me like this.

"County Magistrate Chen, since that is the case, then I inform you on behalf of Mr. Chai Zhenkun that we will absolutely not sign the demolition agreement for these four gardens."

Chen Shan knew Li Wenbo was speaking out of anger and calmly persuaded him,

"General Manager Li, if these four gardens are not demolished, the previous investment will go down the drain.

I suggest you calm down, lower your expectations, and do not try to exploit loopholes in the policy."

Li Wenbo hung up on Chen Shan and angrily smashed the ashtray on his desk.

Afterward, he reported this matter to Chai Zhenkun.

Chai Zhenkun had previously communicated with Han Zhengyi about this matter and did not expect there to be variables; in front of Li Wenbo, he dialed Gao Qidong's phone number.

Upon learning that the demolition was obstructed, Gao Qidong called Han Zhengyi directly.

"Chai Zhenkun just called me and said that the demolition policy for his four gardens in Yechuan County has changed; what is going on?"

Han Zhengyi had long been prepared, "Someone raised an objection, and the County Party Committee Standing Committee rejected his compensation request."

"Who?"

"Tang Ye!"

Gao Qidong frowned; it was Tang Ye again.

"These four gardens involve the Strategic Eastward Expansion, especially since the construction time for the New Train Station is tight; if the progress is delayed, who will take responsibility?"

"Mayor Gao, we will accelerate the negotiations with Zhenao Group and strive not to affect the construction schedule of the New Train Station."

Facing Gao Qidong's fury, Han Zhengyi felt a chill in his heart.

As the County Party Secretary, he naturally knew that Tang Ye's refusal to accept the demands put forward by Chai Zhenkun was to protect the interests of all the common people in Yechuan.

He leaned toward Tang Ye's stance.

Of course, he would not directly oppose Gao Qidong's opinion either.

Therefore, he chose a more covert method.

Hanging up the phone, Gao Qidong rubbed his temples and pondered to himself: that old fox Han Zhengyi has operated in Yechuan County for so many years, how could he possibly be unable to suppress a young man?

Could it be that he and Tang Ye are on the same side, having set up a trap to deliberately play him?

……

Gao Qidong dialed Chai Zhenkun's number.

"I just spoke with Han Zhengyi on the phone, and his attitude is still very good. The early preparations for the Strategic Eastward Expansion are time-sensitive; I will continue to apply pressure on him, so you need to keep your composure."

Chai Zhenkun said, "Why don't you arrange a meeting with Han Zhengyi so we can sit down and have a proper talk."

Gao Qidong sighed and said, "Han Zhengyi is not the key person; the key person is Tang Ye. If he doesn't loosen his stance, there is nothing Han Zhengyi can do."

Chai Zhenkun said, "Can we find a way to make Tang Ye loosen his stance? He can name any conditions he wants."

Gao Qidong felt a strong aversion toward Tang Ye and said coldly, "This person Tang Ye is too young, and it is inevitable for the young to be impetuous."

Chai Zhenkun stirred up trouble, saying, "Mayor Gao, I don't understand why you can tolerate him? This person is extremely arrogant; not only is he cunning and sinister, but he also looks down on everyone!"

Gao Qidong knew that Chai Zhenkun was deliberately trying to provoke him.

Is Tang Ye really that easy to deal with?

To beat a dog, one must first look at its master!

He is Jiang Jing's person and also has a powerful backer in the provincial government.

After hanging up the phone with Gao Qidong, Chai Zhenkun felt depressed.

He had originally intended to use the four gardens as leverage to play for high stakes with a small investment and make a huge profit.

But he had encountered a stumbling block in Tang Ye, and the script had not proceeded as expected...
