Chapter 1347: Choosing Yechuan is Very Correct!

The next morning, Tang Ye walked into his office.

Ma Ran walked in holding a newspaper.

Ma Ran's tone did not hide his schadenfreude, "County Magistrate Tang, take a look at this news!"

Tang Ye glanced at it; the headline was "Wenyang Star Concert" Called Off!

The gist of the news was that because the concert organizers were underprepared in many aspects and the event posed safety risks, it was decided to cancel this concert.

As for the audience members who had previously purchased concert tickets, they could go to the ticketing company to process refunds.

Tang Ye remarked with emotion, "Old Han is truly swift and decisive!"

Ma Ran asked softly, "Should we still push forward with our arts performance event?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Of course we must push forward. I have already contacted the Shaan Sheng Gewantuan. They are very interested in this performance. Additionally, Zhao Hui has indicated that they are willing to be the title sponsor for this event."

Ma Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I will continue to follow up!"

One hour later, Ma Ran came in to report: "County Magistrate Tang, the cars for Dean Kong and his party have already exited the expressway."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Let's go, we are setting off!"

……

The motorcade drove out from the Yechuan County Government, then met up with the Huai University Agricultural College, and finally arrived together at the site of the Agricultural Scientific Research Base.

The site was arranged by Xie Kai's cultural company; a stage was built, arches were placed, and banners were hung.

On both sides of the road stood waist-drum teams; the middle-aged women wearing performance costumes stepped to the beat, joyfully and spiritedly swaying their waists, and the site was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, the atmosphere very lively.

After getting out of the car, Tang Ye walked to the side of Kong Xuedong and said with a smile, "Dean Kong, please, this way."

Kong Xuedong followed Tang Ye to the seat cards in front of the stage and sat down.

A female host wearing a red formal dress walked to the front of the stage, bowed to everyone, and then, holding cards, began to host the event with a steady stage presence.

"Respected leaders, respected guests, respected fellow villagers:

Welcome to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Agricultural Scientific Research Base.

First, I will introduce the guests who have arrived at the scene.

They are Yechuan County Magistrate Tang Ye;

Mr. Kong Xuedong, Vice President of the Huai University Agricultural College……"

Amidst warm applause, the personnel participating in this event appeared one by one.

"Next, we invite County Magistrate Tang to the stage to deliver a speech!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Tang Ye walked slowly to the center of the stage.

Ma Ran had prepared a speech draft for him, but he was accustomed to speaking without notes.

"Dear friends!

Standing here today, I am filled with many emotions.

I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

I want to thank Dean Kong; it is precisely because of his trust that this base is located in our Yechuan County.

At the same time, Dean Kong also successfully applied for relevant policies for the base as a provincial-level scientific research base.

I believe that in the near future, this base will bring earth-shaking changes to the agricultural development of Yechuan County."

After Tang Ye left the stage, at the invitation of the host, Kong Xuedong walked to the front of the stage.

He looked somewhat emotional.

"Standing here, I feel deeply inspired.

Because we have finally achieved this step.

The Agricultural Scientific Research Base is a seed sown by our team; I believe that in the near future, it will surely take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree.

Just as County Magistrate Tang said a moment ago, we have great trust in the Yechuan Government.

I believe that with the joint efforts of the government and our team, we will certainly be able to hand in a perfect answer to the country and the people.

Thank you all!"

Immediately following, the ceremony entered the soil-breaking and groundbreaking phase.

Tang Ye and Kong Xuedong stood in the most prominent position.

Others lined up according to their rank, waving shovels one by one, slowly scattering soil around the stone tablet.

After the ceremony ended, Kong Xuedong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, happy cooperation."

Tang Ye shook hands with Kong Xuedong: "Dean Kong, if you have any needs in the future, you can contact me at any time."

Kong Xuedong said humorously:

"Naturally, I will not stand on ceremony with you.

Initially, the Agricultural Scientific Research Base had plans to select a site in Wenyang.

Recently, I heard that Wenyang has had some situations, and the originally scheduled concert was also forced to be canceled.

My wife had originally planned to buy tickets to go watch it.

Thinking about it now, I am truly fortunate.

Choosing Yechuan is very correct!

If the project had been placed in Wenyang, the subsequent progress would likely have been full of trouble."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment; he did not expect that Kong Xuedong would be so clear about the news of the political turmoil in Wenyang.

Good news doesn't leave the gate, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

He promised with a serious expression: "Wenyang did indeed have some problems this time, but please rest assured, Wenyang is Wenyang, and Yechuan is Yechuan; we in Yechuan will absolutely not have a similar situation."

Kong Xuedong smiled: "County Magistrate Tang, I have confidence in you!"

……

At noon, the group headed to the banquet hall of the County Reception House for a meal.

After the meal concluded, Kong Xuedong and his party left Yechuan County.

At two in the afternoon, Ma Ran knocked on the office door and said softly, "Reporter Tian from the City Television Station has arrived."

Tang Ye stood up and said, "Then let's set off!"

They went downstairs and arrived at the Government Compound.

Tang Ye saw the meticulously dressed Tian Xiaomeng and took the initiative to step forward and shake her hand: "Reporter Tian, welcome back to Yechuan County."

Tian Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Since County Magistrate Tang summoned me, I naturally had to accept the invitation with pleasure. By the way, you still haven't told me what exactly I'm supposed to be interviewing today!"

Tang Ye smiled faintly: "Allow me to keep you in suspense for now; in a moment, you will definitely have something to show for it."

Tian Xiaomeng pouted and teased, "If it turns out to have no news value, I'm going to make you reimburse my travel expenses."

Tang Ye laughed: "I didn't expect Reporter Tian to be so calculating."

The motorcade drove out of the Government Compound, headed in the direction of Dong Qu, and finally stopped at the entrance of the Gaozhi Building construction site.

Tao Qiusheng had received the news in advance and had been waiting there for a long time; seeing them, he hurried forward: "County Magistrate Tang, hello!"

Tang Ye introduced Tian Xiaomeng to Tao Qiusheng: "This is Tian Xiaomeng, a reporter for the 'News Girl' program."

Tao Qiusheng felt uneasy; County Magistrate Tang had brought a reporter to the construction site, what was the intention behind this?

Tang Ye often came to the site.

The construction site had also been strictly enforcing construction safety, so logically, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tang Ye patted Tao Qiusheng on the shoulder: "We are going to take a tour of the construction site; get us a few hard hats."

Tao Qiusheng nodded and said, "Alright, I will go arrange that right away."

Tian Xiaomeng put on her hard hat and asked softly, "County Magistrate Tang, do you still intend to keep me in suspense?"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Let's go, you'll know in a moment."

The group swarmed into the construction site.

Tang Ye saw a thin figure in the distance, small in stature and shirtless, struggling to load bricks into a cart.

"Reporter Tian, this young man is named Qin Yang; he is the son of an ordinary worker at the construction site and just finished taking the college entrance exam this year.

As soon as the college entrance exam ended, he came to the construction site to work.

He is the main subject you are going to interview today!"
