Chapter 1366: Ding Zhen Becomes a Big Joke!

Everyone knew perfectly well whose person Li Yongan was!

No one expected that Tang Ye would use Li Yongan to overturn the decision of the Five-Person Group Meeting at the Standing Committee.

The entry point Tang Ye chose was too cunning.

Looking across the country, and even the globe, almost every place has, to a greater or lesser extent, the chaotic phenomenon of inflated economic data.

It is just that the data for Chenxin Town was handled too obviously, too blatantly.

Moreover, the position that Chenxin Town Party Committee Secretary Gao Guangquan was about to be adjusted to belongs to a core, key position.

It can be considered the one with the highest gold content among all Section Chief-level posts in the county, which is why it attracted so much attention.

After Tang Ye finished speaking, Deputy County Party Secretary Dong Zhangan spoke slowly:

"County Magistrate Tang, I can understand your anger.

Right now, the Provincial Government Inspection Team is conducting research in Yechuan, and with such a serious problem being exposed, we must indeed attach great importance to it.

However, since the problem has been discovered, there is still room to mend the fold after the sheep has escaped.

I suggest we properly explain the situation to the Provincial Government Inspection Team, and at the same time, urge the other townships to take this as a warning and prevent similar problems from happening again."

After speaking, he cast a glance at Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Shuli.

At this moment, Zhao Shuli's mind was also blank.

Generally speaking, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department play a gatekeeping role in the appointment of cadres.

To verify whether a cadre is suitable, the Discipline Inspection Commission must strictly investigate aspects such as work style and discipline.

However, Tang Ye cut in from the assessment of economic indicators and found Gao Guangquan's dereliction of duty.

This actually indirectly indicates that the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission was not checked carefully or thoroughly enough, was not comprehensive, and that there was a dereliction of duty.

Zhao Shuli adjusted his emotions and said with a serious expression,

"When the Discipline Inspection Commission was looking into Gao Guangquan, we indeed did not pay attention to this point.

Now the country is advocating a correct view of political achievements, and cadres who go against the facts and fabricate political achievements must be seriously rectified and educated.

I propose to suspend the appointment process for Gao Guangquan and re-discuss the appointment and removal plan."

Ding Zhen had originally thought that Zhao Shuli would take the same stance as him.

He never expected that Zhao Shuli would directly draw a line.

Without this vote from the Discipline Inspection Commission, Ding Zhen also felt less confident about the voting results of this Standing Committee meeting.

However, Ding Zhen did not choose to give up.

"The core topic of this Standing Committee meeting is to deliberate on this list!

It is not a bad thing for comrades to raise questions; on the contrary, it can force the quality of the list to be further improved.

However, we have already completed comprehensive investigation and research in the early stages, and both the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department have implemented the audit work in advance.

All cadres on the list have gone through layers of strict screening.

If we negate the entire plan because of a single problem, it is clearly unfair.

Next, we will go directly into the voting session.

Those who agree to pass this cadre adjustment list, please raise your hands!"

Organization Department Minister Cheng Xin raised his hand immediately, his gaze scanning the room firmly.

After looking around, not a second person in the room echoed by raising their hand.

In an instant, Cheng Xin only felt a chill down his back and a tightness in his heart.

Is the County Party Secretary really so unpopular?

Facing the expected outcome, Tang Ye spoke up,

"Secretary Ding, I think this list still needs to be reformulated!

The whole county is currently carrying out a special assessment of economic indicators.

Why don't we wait until the assessment results are out before we discuss the personnel adjustment matters separately."

The economic indicator assessment work is led and controlled by the County Government.

In other words, the power to adjust this list has fallen into Tang Ye's hands.

At this moment, Ding Zhen suddenly realized.

He had been fooled by Tang Ye's compromise at the Five-Person Group Meeting!

Now he could only accept his defeat!

"Then we shall execute according to County Magistrate Tang's opinion! Meeting adjourned!"

Ding Zhen grabbed the thermos cup at his side, his face dark and cold, and walked out of the conference room quickly without looking back.

Tang Ye calmly packed up his meeting notebook and followed him out of the venue.

Li Yongan quickened his pace and followed closely behind Tang Ye.

Dong Zhangan and Zhao Shuli looked at each other.

There was no confrontational gunpowder in their eyes; instead, both hid a trace of unspeakable bitterness.

Originally, everyone thought that this Standing Committee meeting would be as plain as water, without any waves!

Who would have thought that there would be undercurrents and smoke of war throughout the entire process.

The shrewdness, methods, and gambling courage Tang Ye displayed today far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone generally believed that Tang Ye's advantages were limited to the economic field!

Yet this time, he laid out his plan from an angle no one cared about and struck the vital point!

Forcing Ding Zhen to have no words to argue and to retreat step by step!

Dong Zhangan had also found it strange before that the economic indicator assessment was scheduled for October in previous years, but it was moved up to start in August this year.

As it turned out, Tang Ye had borrowed the name of the Provincial Government Inspection Team to use the assessment to fight for the right to speak on the Section Chief-level list!

Thinking about it is terrifying; the more one ponders, the more one sighs that Tang Ye is a person of profound and unfathomable hidden depths.

His gentle, youthful appearance and approachable temperament are merely a disguise.

The other Standing Committee Members paired off in twos and threes, whispering to each other as they walked.

"Today's Standing Committee meeting was truly spectacular; I never expected County Magistrate Tang to be so forceful!"

"When it comes down to it, Chenxin Town was simply too unscrupulous. They were originally at a mid-tier economic level, yet they forcibly pushed themselves to second place by faking the numbers."

"It is said that someone reported Chenxin Town for falsifying data..."

"The Party Committee Secretary of Chenxin Town, Gao Guangquan, has always wanted to transfer to work in the county. He frequently ran to Director Yu's office, inviting Director Yu to conduct research at the grassroots level. Now it seems that, in the end, all his calculations were in vain, and it was all a wasted joy."

"I originally thought that with Shi Guangrong transferred away, Tang Ye would be unable to act alone. Facts have proven that without Shi Guangrong, Tang Ye has become even more assertive."

"Secretary Ding's grand plan to seize power has fallen through. He wanted to see others make a fool of themselves, but in the end, he became the big joke himself!"

Ding Zhen returned to his office, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He had spent several months planning for this list, yet in the end, it was overturned by Tang Ye with the greatest of ease.

The desk phone rang.

Ding Zhen glanced at it and discovered it was Yu Jing's office number.

At this moment, he could no longer control his rage and smashed the desk phone directly.

If it weren't for Yu Jing recommending Gao Guangquan, how could Tang Ye have found a flaw in his plan!

Gao Guangquan was blinded by greed; in order to secure his transfer, he played all sorts of petty tricks and actually dared to blatantly and unrealistically tamper with the economic data!

The tone had already been clearly set during this year's Central Committee special rectification meeting!

It strictly cracked down on the chaos of falsifying economic data and required all cadres to establish and practice a correct view of political achievements!

What Gao Guangquan did was no different from committing a crime in defiance of the law!

With no one answering the desk phone, Yu Jing frowned slightly, "Why is no one answering?"

He turned his head to look at Gao Guangquan beside him and said with a smile, "Secretary Ding must be busy; I'll call his mobile phone directly."

Gao Guangquan looked at Yu Jing with a face full of anticipation and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not that urgent!"

Yu Jing dialed Ding Zhen's private mobile number.

This time, it connected successfully.

Ding Zhen reined in his anger, picked up the phone, and asked in a cold tone, "Director Yu, is there something you need?"

Yu Jing did not detect the abnormality in Ding Zhen's tone and asked with a smile, "How did the deliberation of the personnel list go at the Standing Committee meeting today? Did everything go smoothly?"

Ding Zhen gave a cold laugh, "Thanks to Gao Guangquan, it was rejected by Tang Ye!"

Gao Guangquan stood to the side, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

He had originally expected to wait for good news!

Upon hearing these words, the smile plastered on his face instantly froze...
