Chapter 1323: Ding Zhen is Stimulated!

Before leaving the Urban Village, Jiang Jing put forward several clear requirements.

"We must prioritize the demands of the common people; when problems arise, resolve them immediately;

do not have conflicts with the common people;

the Municipal Government will soon issue a special fund, and the money must be spent where it is most needed."

Hearing that there would be supporting funds, Tang Ye was in a great mood.

Tang Ye closed the notebook he carried with him and said in a deep voice, "Mayor Jiang, I will keep every word of yours in mind."

Lu Tianming thought to himself that every expression and every action of County Magistrate Tang was full of details and worth learning from!

As the motorcade slowly drove away, the citizens stood spontaneously on both sides of the road.

From their faces, one could clearly see a sense of relief.

A weight was also lifted from Tang Ye's heart.

Jiang Jing's inspection and research trip was undoubtedly a huge boost to the overall progress of the Old City Renovation project.

Han Zhengyi felt a bit sour, as he had fought for policies from the city many times.

He hadn't expected that when it came to Tang Ye, everything was no longer a problem!

Sure enough, it is easier to get things done when you have connections in high places.

Tang Ye was indeed Jiang Jing's trusted and favored subordinate.

Of course, the allocation of these funds was also reasonable and fair. Tang Ye had secured a major project for the locality, so it was completely logical for the city to provide supporting special subsidy funds.

Recalling when he first handed this project to Tang Ye, Han Zhengyi had actually been full of doubts about whether he could successfully complete the task.

Now that it had been resolved so quickly, he felt ashamed and also somewhat admiring.

After seeing Jiang Jing off, Tang Ye just let out a sigh of relief.

Tian Xiaomeng, a reporter from the News Girl program, walked toward him.

Tang Ye took the initiative to greet her, "Teacher Tian, how is it? Have you decided how to report this news?"

Tian Xiaomeng nodded vigorously, "Everyone was very cooperative and is very satisfied with the way the Government handled the problem this time. Actually, our program team had done a few reports before, but they were either not taken seriously or could not be broadcast smoothly. This time, it makes up for the previous regrets."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment and then laughed in spite of himself, "Teacher Tian, next time there is a similar situation, please tell me directly. I will definitely take it seriously."

Tian Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you. However, don't find me long-winded."

Tang Ye said solemnly, "As long as it concerns the common people, no matter if it is a big matter or a small one, we will treat it with great care and attention to detail."

Tian Xiaomeng nodded, sighing inwardly; she still remembered the first time she met Tang Ye, when she and he went to the Police Station together.

At that time, Tang Ye had already left her with an image of bravery and justice.

In the past year or so, Tang Ye had done many heart-stirring things.

Sometimes, Tian Xiaomeng would use Tang Ye as a standard when looking for a boyfriend.

Her best friend would advise Tian Xiaomeng not to have such wild fantasies!

Yechuan County People's Hospital.

Ding Zhen sat on the hospital bed, picked up the remote control, and tuned the TV to the Xiyang Television Station news channel.

The first few news items were party and government news: Municipal Party Secretary Gong Weimin attending a meeting, Mayor Jiang Jing attending an inspection, the CPPCC Chairman visiting enterprises...

Seeing him watching with such focus and dedication, his wife complained in a low voice, "They are all just boring meetings that make people sleepy."

Ding Zhen gave his wife a sharp look, "One can see the policy trends of the city from these news reports."

Suddenly, his wife's attention was drawn to the screen, "Hey, isn't that County Magistrate Tang?"

Ding Zhen saw the news headline on the TV, and his mood sank abruptly.

He had long since learned the news that the Zhao Group would be investing in Yechuan soon.

However, because he was hospitalized, he was cut off from information, and no one told him the specific details.

Ding Zhen had actually been holding onto a glimmer of hope that perhaps someone would call to notify him to attend the signing ceremony.

With his rank, he naturally wasn't qualified to sign, but at least he could have made a familiar face and brushed up his presence.

As a result, he had completely missed this important signing.

The thought he originally had of taking advantage of the situation had also completely vanished into thin air.

Immediately afterward, another piece of news related to Yechuan County was broadcast.

The narrator said, "Today, Mayor Jiang Jing came to the Urban Village in Yechuan County to express condolences to the local residents and patiently explained the Urban Village Renovation policy.

Yechuan County will tailor differentiated compensation plans based on the actual needs of each family.

For residents who do not wish to relocate, the Government will implement micro-renovations to improve living quality without changing their original living habits. For merchants running small businesses, the Government plans to provide matching free storefronts in the Old Town Ancient Town Project.

By patiently listening to the citizens' demands and formulating precise policy measures, the Government has effectively resolved the doubts in the citizens' hearts..."

Ding Zhen's eyes suddenly froze.

Because he saw Han Zhengyi in the crowd. Han Zhengyi had long been transferred to the city; what was the intention of him appearing in the news at this moment?

Was this a case of a dove occupying a magpie's nest, a provocation toward him?

The next second, Ding Zhen sprang up from the hospital bed.

His wife was startled by his actions, "What are you doing?"

Ding Zhen said in a muffled voice, "Process my discharge, I want to go home!"

His wife was torn between laughter and tears, "It's night time now, there are only staff on duty, how can we process a discharge? Let's wait until tomorrow morning to handle the discharge!"

Ding Zhen said in an unquestionable tone, "I must go to work normally tomorrow. You go and talk to the County Hospital; the paperwork can be completed later."

His wife knew what Ding Zhen was thinking.

He had been stimulated by these few news reports.

During the time he was hospitalized, major events had occurred in Yechuan one after another; although no bad things had touched him, no good things had anything to do with him either.

If he continued to stay in the hospital, he would appear even more dispensable!

……

Tan Zonghe sat on the sofa, silently finishing the Xiyang news.

Aside from the first few routine news items, almost all the remaining content revolved around Yechuan.

This signal meant that Xiyang's development focus would shift toward Yechuan.

Tan Zonghe was filled with unwillingness.

He had not expected Yechuan County's response to this crisis to be so comprehensive and perfect.

He had secretly arranged for people to fan the flames and ignite the conflict over the Old City Renovation!

Now it seemed that, on the contrary, it had provided Tang Ye with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his ability to resolve the crisis.

The phone rang.

Tan Zonghe answered the call.

"Old Zhang, is there something the matter?"

"Mayor Tan, I just received news. Those three people have been caught."

Tan Zonghe was startled; he stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Didn't I give you instructions? I told you to have them hide well. How are you handling things?"

Zhang Xianguang was quite puzzled.

"I had them hide in another province. However, they were still found by someone; it was the Yechuan County Police who did it! But, Mayor Tan, rest assured, they are very tight-lipped; they will take the fall, and this matter will absolutely not spread."

Tan Zonghe tried hard to control his emotions, "Use your brain when doing things; I don't want any more accidents!"

"Understood, you can rest easy!"

Hanging up the phone with Zhang Xianguang, Tan Zonghe rubbed his temples.

He had not expected Tang Ye's counterattack to be so swift and sharp!

Tan Zonghe reviewed the entire affair.

He had expended so much effort, yet he hadn't gained a single benefit……
