Chapter 1368: Undermined by Tang Ye Again!

In the evening, Yu Jing returned home. His wife heard the movement and walked out. Seeing Yu Jing return alone, she was somewhat surprised, "Didn't you say Xiao Gao was going to eat at home tonight?"

Yu Jing waved his hand, "Don't mention it. This Xiao Gao is too chilling."

His wife was puzzled, "What did he do to make you unhappy? Hasn't Xiao Gao always been very sensible? Ever since you retired to the People's Congress, he's the only one who has kept respecting you."

Yu Jing curled his lips, his face full of disdain: "Respect? I think his intentions are impure and his motives are ulterior. He wants to use me to climb higher, which is why he deliberately curries favor."

His wife frowned and reminded him: "Do you still think you are the County Party Secretary? What use is it for him to curry favor with you? He is only in his thirties; could it be he wants to ask you to help him transfer to the People's Congress to retire?"

Yu Jing snorted, "When Han Zhengyi was in office, he liquidated my confidants one by one, making everyone afraid to get too close to me. Xiao Gao was my Liaison Officer; even if he wanted to clear his name, it would be very difficult. So he has always kept in touch with me. I originally thought he was loyal and righteous, but I didn't expect that I had misjudged him."

His wife asked suspiciously, "Did he betray you?"

Yu Jing sighed, "Do you remember the health supplements he brought over?"

His wife nodded and said, "I remember. Those health supplements aren't a big brand. I was afraid of eating them and getting sick, so I took them to the nearby convenience store to ask, but the shopkeeper wouldn't take them back. I didn't know how to deal with them!"

Yu Jing said with a look of disgust, "Just throw them away."

His wife was reluctant, "It was money spent to buy them, after all, and it was his kind intention."

Yu Jing sneered, "After Xiao Gao left our house that day, he went to visit Ding Zhen. The same gift box, but it contained one hundred thousand yuan inside. Ding Zhen was very vigilant and returned it on the spot."

His wife looked at Yu Jing in surprise, "There is actually such a thing? Xiao Gao is treating people differently and looking down on you!"

Yu Jing shook his head and gave a bitter smile, "I have seen through the human heart. Xiao Gao is usually so attentive to us, but he is actually acting for us. In his heart, I am an old cadre who has retired to the second line and is not worth investing real money in. He has always hoped to find an upward path through me."

His wife walked straight to the storage room, found that box of health supplements, and threw it into the trash can.

"Old Yu, I think you shouldn't worry about these things in the future. Nowadays, very few people know how to be grateful. No matter how good you are to them, they just treat you as a tool."

Yu Jing said coldly, "I have also woken up. From now on, I will not care about his affairs at all."

Yu Jing was still brooding over the differential treatment of Gao Guangquan.

Damn it, it's so disgusting!

That night, Yu Jing was full of resentment and was so angry that he only drank a bowl of porridge.

This conspiracy with Ding Zhen ended in failure.

Yu Jing had a clear judgment of Tang Ye's strength.

One must absolutely not measure his ability by his age.

Although Tang Ye has only been in politics for a few years, his political maneuvering is so seasoned that it exceeds many old veterans.

Yu Jing did not feel discouraged because of the failure...

On the contrary, this game of chess gave him a long-lost feeling of matching wits and courage in the officialdom.

He secretly made up his mind to keep in touch with Ding Zhen and deal with Tang Ye together!

In the evening, Ding Zhen returned home, turned on the television, tuned to the news channel, and would sigh from time to time.

Seeing that his mood was off, his wife asked cautiously, "Did you encounter something annoying again today?"

Ding Zhen sighed helplessly, "Yes, I was undermined by Tang Ye again."

A look of surprise appeared in his wife's eyes, "Didn't they say that Old Yu has been lobbying many people for you recently?"

A look of disdain appeared in Ding Zhen's eyes, "If Old Yu really had the ability, he wouldn't have retired early to the People's Congress to rest. He is just a pawn I am using to test the waters. I didn't expect him to be so useless and come up with such bad ideas. Crucially, he even recommended a stick of dynamite to me."

His wife was puzzled, "A stick of dynamite? How does that come from?"

Ding Zhen explained, "Do you remember Gao Guangquan?"

His wife said, "I remember. He was very generous; he gave one hundred thousand the first time we met. Didn't you chat very well with him when he came to visit our house that day?"

Ding Zhen waved his hand and said coldly, "When I saw that his first move was one hundred thousand, I felt he was unreliable."

Either this kind of person hasn't given many gifts before and has no experience;

Or he is a habitual offender, which is why he would make such a shocking move.

At today's Standing Committee meeting, the list was rejected, and the reason lies with him.

In order to rank well in the assessment, he actually deliberately fabricated economic data and committed fraud!"

His wife widened her eyes, "He looked quite honest and simple; I didn't expect him to be so unreliable. Husband, I didn't understand why you didn't accept his things before, but now I finally understand."

Ding Zhen nodded slightly, "You must be cautious in the future; many people are watching us!"

His wife frowned, "Husband, you are being too stifled as County Party Secretary. When you were the Municipal Development and Reform Commission Director before, there weren't so many troublesome things."

If you ask me, you might as well take the initiative to apply to your superiors to transfer back to work in the city."

Ding Zhen shook his head and gave a bitter smile, "Life is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. Do you think you can go back just because you want to? During my tenure as County Party Secretary, if I don't have any political achievements to show for it, the city won't arrange any good positions for me."

His wife sighed and said softly, "Husband, you are the County Party Secretary now, and I also have a stable job. We don't need to touch our salaries every year and can save them all; our income already exceeds that of many people. I think you don't need to be so anxious."

A look of being moved appeared in Ding Zhen's eyes,

"I know what you mean.

After becoming this County Party Secretary, my temper has become capricious, and sometimes I even hate myself like this. Thanks to you for being able to tolerate me.

But one must seek governance while in that position.

Since I am this County Party Secretary, I must have the appearance of a County Party Secretary.

Letting the second-in-command ride on my head to crap and pee, and still making me keep quiet—this is absolutely not my style."

His wife felt that Ding Zhen's obsession was too deep and tried hard to persuade him, "Husband, you should still calm your mindset. Why not find an opportunity to invite County Magistrate Tang to our home for a meal to ease the relationship."

Ding Zhen smiled, "The idea is good, but County Magistrate Tang is very busy and hard to schedule."

His wife said, "You have to try. If it really doesn't work, I will go and invite him myself. I heard that Han Zhengyi's wife, Jiang Min, had a very good relationship with Tang Ye's spouse. That's why Han Zhengyi also got along very harmoniously with Tang Ye."

Ding Zhen sighed, "If you want to compromise, you have to see if the other party agrees!"

Ding Zhen knew his wife had never understood him!

Why must he fight Tang Ye to the death!

His and Tang Ye's positions represent the interests of the Mayor and the Municipal Party Secretary, and they are destined to be opposites.

Furthermore, Shi Guangrong had been forced by him to withdraw from the CPPCC, making the relationship between the two sides even worse!
