Chapter 1224: Let Han Zhengyi Ride in the Sedan Chair!

In the evening, at a restaurant next to the County Government.

Tang Ye, representing the County Government, hosted a dinner for the entire demolition working group.

Li Yongan was waiting at the entrance; seeing Tang Ye appear, he walked up with a beaming smile.

"County Magistrate Tang, everyone has arrived. According to your requirements, not a single person is missing; everyone is present."

Tang Ye patted Li Yongan on the shoulder, then walked into the hotel lobby.

He shook hands with everyone one by one, while Chen Shan stood by to introduce each person's name, job position, and their status and role within this demolition group.

Tang Ye carefully memorized them one by one and said a few words of encouragement to each person!

Before the meal began, Li Yongan picked up the microphone, walked to the center, and said with a smile, "Comrades, first, please let County Magistrate Tang come up to say a few words. Let's welcome him!"

Amidst warm applause, Tang Ye took the microphone handed over by Li Yongan.

"Comrades, thank you all for your hard work.

This demolition project had a heavy workload and a tight schedule, and you all demonstrated a hardworking and determined work style.

I have seen it all.

Please rest assured, the organization will include your efforts in the assessment system, which will be reflected in future job promotions.

Additionally.

I have secured a sum of funds to reward you for your contributions during this period.

The money may not be much, but it is a form of spiritual encouragement.

We are civil servants; working for the common people is our duty.

Although the demolition work has come to an end, there are still many areas of the Eastward Expansion Plan that require our solid commitment.

I hope you can continue to build on your achievements, maintain a vigorous work attitude, and devote yourselves to the economic development of Yechuan County with the greatest enthusiasm.

Please raise your glasses.

I toast you all!"

Everyone stood up, tapped their glasses against the glass turntable in front of them, and then drank the wine in their cups with gusto.

Tang Ye then took Li Yongan and Chen Shan to toast everyone in turn.

This meal made everyone very happy.

Chen Shan was exceptionally happy today; having had some wine, she took advantage of the tipsiness to speak heart-to-heart with Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, actually, I had complaints about you before."

Tang Ye understood, "I refused to agree to the demolition budget for the four gardens, which put you in a very difficult position. If it were me, I would also have had grievances. I don't blame you."

Chen Shan sighed, "I feel I was very shallow now. Looking back, agreeing to Chai Zhenkun's demands at the time would have resolved the work smoothly. But, it would have caused huge losses to the state. Then I would have become a sinner."

Tang Ye smiled, "Thank you for your understanding. As civil servants, we must be cautious enough with our power. Without your support and persistence, the demolition work would not have been so successful. The Yechuan County Eastward Expansion Strategy is only a partial battle in the development of Yechuan County; I will need your continued support for my work in the future."

Chen Shan was moved and said excitedly, "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Tang, I will definitely and unswervingly execute every task you entrust to me."

Chen Shan's emotions had also gone through many twists and turns.

When Tang Ye submitted the application to the provincial level to adjust the demolition scope, she was full of doubts about Tang Ye.

Now, she understood.

That was just a feint.

Because that possibility was put forward, it not only made Chai Zhenkun furious but also made other common people afraid to hold out for a higher price.

Tang Ye's plan was open, aboveboard, and impeccable!

Chen Shan even felt some regret!

Regret that she didn't understand Tang Ye's thinking at the time and had many complaints in private!

……

After dinner, Tang Ye pulled Li Yongan aside to give him separate instructions.

"I have communicated with the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department. Tomorrow, the evening paper will arrange for a reporter to come to Yechuan County for an interview. You must prepare the materials and the press release."

Li Yongan was a little surprised, "Who will the newspaper interview?"

Tang Ye patted Li Yongan on the shoulder, "Secretary Han is the Class Monitor, so of course, they will interview him."

Li Yongan looked at Tang Ye in surprise, secretly sighing that the reason the Eastward demolition could be completed without danger was mainly due to Tang Ye's strategic deployment and coordination.

Although Han Zhengyi was the head of the working group, he was just a mascot who sat back and reaped the rewards.

Li Yongan sincerely felt it was unfair for Tang Ye.

However, this was also the reality of officialdom.

If things aren't done well, it's always the fault of the subordinates.

Once results are achieved, the one who picks the fruit is always the top leader.

The next morning, Li Yongan brought the materials and the press release to Tang Ye.

Li Yongan had people work overtime through the night to finish it yesterday.

Tang Ye took a look, made some revisions, and then handed it to Ma Ran.

After Ma Ran readjusted it according to Tang Ye's requirements, Tang Ye confirmed it was correct and took the materials to find Han Zhengyi.

Han Zhengyi was in a good mood; he took the draft and read it through, approving, "This material is written very well; it has written out all the highlights of our work."

Tang Ye said, "A reporter is coming for an interview this afternoon, and we need you to step forward."

Han Zhengyi looked at Tang Ye in surprise and modestly declined, "You are the most familiar with this work; you should be the one to accept the interview."

Tang Ye said with a serious expression, "Secretary Han, you are the head of the working group. If it weren't for your excellent command, it wouldn't have been possible to proceed so smoothly. Please don't decline."

Han Zhengyi sighed slightly, "Alright then."

After Tang Ye left, Han Zhengyi hurriedly browsed the materials.

He memorized some important data and typical cases until he knew them by heart.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Reporter arrived at the County Party Committee Office.

Han Zhengyi accepted the Reporter's interview.

Because Han Zhengyi had prepared quite thoroughly, the interview went very smoothly.

The next day, the Xiyang Evening News published an exclusive interview with County Party Secretary Han Zhengyi regarding the Yechuan Strategic Eastward Advance.

The Liaison Officer carefully folded the newspaper and placed it on Han Zhengyi's desk.

As soon as Han Zhengyi started work, he saw this exclusive interview, and holding his teacup, he began to read it with great interest.

"In this Strategic Eastward Expansion demolition and relocation work, County Party Secretary Han Zhengyi took command as Team Leader, playing a role of calm and steady leadership.

Under his leadership, Yechuan County has been twisted into a single rope.

They did not rely on demolition companies, but instead took personal charge, mobilizing the individual strength of every member..."

Han Zhengyi finished reading the exclusive interview and felt an indescribable sense of pride and happiness.

He had worked for so many years, and his name had had the opportunity to appear in city-level newspapers before.

But a full-page promotion like this was a first, like a maiden's first time in a bridal sedan.

This was all thanks to Tang Ye carrying the sedan chair for him.

Han Zhengyi's mobile phone rang.

Jiang Min's voice came from inside.

"Husband, I saw the report about you in the newspaper, a full-page exclusive interview; everyone has been talking about this since they got to work today!"

Jiang Min's voice revealed joy and pride.

Han Zhengyi picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled modestly, "I'm not the main point! The main thing is to promote the phased progress achieved by the Yechuan County Eastward Expansion Strategy."

Jiang Min carefully spread out the newspaper, "I will keep today's newspaper as a memento forever. Husband, you are truly amazing."
