Chapter 1377: Yechuan Ranks First!

One day later,

The self-inspection work in Wenyang City concluded...

"Secretary Han, the data is out!" The director of the Municipal Government Office held a document and placed it at Han Zhengyi's side.

Han Zhengyi carefully read through every piece of data, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "How can the discrepancy in the data be so large?"

A look of helplessness appeared on the face of the Municipal Government Office director, who said truthfully: "During his tenure, Tan Zonghe was eager for quick success and instant benefits. For the sake of his own political future, he privately gave the grassroots comrades strict requirements that they must complete economic targets at all costs.

The people below, in order to satisfy his personal desires, forged the data.

Tan Zonghe knew this clearly, but he turned a blind eye to it!"

Han Zhengyi nodded slightly and said in a firm tone: "Understood! This is a bad debt left behind by Tan Zonghe; it has nothing to do with the people below. I will explain it clearly to the city."

After the Municipal Government Office director left, Han Zhengyi rubbed his chin, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

He had worked in Yechuan County for many years and was very clear about the economic situation in Yechuan.

He had originally thought that Wenyang was an unattainable existence,

But after seeing the real data, he realized that it was actually not much ahead of Yechuan.

Although Yechuan had also reported false data, the amount of padding in it was far less than that of Wenyang.

Han Zhengyi secretly rejoiced that the problem had been discovered in advance!

Otherwise, this would definitely have been a sharp blade hanging over his own head.

Han Zhengyi had someone send this new data to the working group.

The working group took the materials and went to the Municipal Government to report the situation to Gao Qidong.

"Mayor Gao, the real data for Wenyang is out."

Gao Qidong took the materials calmly, flipped through them for a moment, and then a look of obvious surprise appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he pulled out the data for Yechuan County and carefully compared them.

As a result, he was shocked to discover that the real data for Wenyang was actually worse than that of Yechuan!

"Is there a problem with this data?"

"Mayor Gao, we have verified it repeatedly; this data is absolutely authentic!"

"I understand, you may go and get back to work!"

After the staff member left, Gao Qidong dialed Han Zhengyi's office phone directly. Hearing the ring, Han Zhengyi immediately picked up the call.

"I am Gao Qidong."

"Mayor Gao, do you have any instructions?"

"I have seen the data for your Wenyang. What is going on? How could it be so poor?"

Han Zhengyi had already thought of his explanation.

"Mayor Gao, after I saw the data, my heart also went cold.

Reality is more cruel than imagined. During his tenure, Tan Zonghe appointed people based on favoritism, engaged in vanity projects, and by tacitly allowing those below to report false data, he deliberately created a false impression of great development.

In fact, the current situation in Wenyang is already riddled with holes and living beyond its means; many projects are just window dressing.

Everything was fabricated just to pile up political achievements."

Seeing that Han Zhengyi pushed all the responsibility onto the fugitive former official,

Gao Qidong was speechless for a moment...

"You are the acting mayor of Wenyang; you must be responsible for all of Wenyang's data."

Han Zhengyi nodded and replied: "The materials submitted to you by the working group have my signature on them; I take responsibility for the authenticity of these materials."

Gao Qidong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Very well, the burden on your shoulders will be very heavy from now on."

Han Zhengyi said with full confidence: "Please rest assured, Mayor Gao. If nothing else, I am definitely better than Tan Zonghe. I am more pragmatic than him and know better how to do things in a down-to-earth manner."

After hanging up on Han Zhengyi, Gao Qidong rubbed his throbbing temples.

Things showed signs of deviating from the original intention...

On the third day after the document was issued, the working group finished organizing the real data for all counties and districts in Xiyang City and officially reported it.

The Secretary knocked gently and entered: "Mayor Gao, the data is out."

Gao Qidong raised his eyes: "Bring it here for me to see."

The Secretary placed the materials gently on the table.

Gao Qidong browsed through it quickly, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes!

"The economic indicator assessment for Yechuan County is actually ranked in first place?"

The Secretary nodded in response: "Yes, the data previously reported by all counties and districts contained padding. Although Yechuan County's previous data also had padding, relatively speaking, it was the least padded."

Gao Qidong was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Understood! You may go out!"

After the Secretary left, Gao Qidong picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. The cold tea entered his throat, carrying a faint bitterness.

He finally realized that the false data had caused him to misjudge the development of Yechuan County over the past two years.

Although Yechuan also had the problem of data fabrication, the actual achievements Tang Ye made in Yechuan County were there for all to see.

Before, everyone was fabricating data, so the real gap could not be seen at all;

Now that everyone had reported real data, who was superior and who was inferior was clear at a glance.

He found it difficult to accept one reality!

Yechuan County's economic indicators had actually ranked first in the entire city because of this!

He had originally wanted to use this special rectification campaign to give Tang Ye a disciplinary action.

Given the current situation, giving Tang Ye a disciplinary action would be too obviously targeted!

Just at this moment, the desk phone suddenly rang.

Gao Qidong glanced at the caller ID; it was a call from Jiang Jing.

He had just received the data, and Jiang Jing had called right away.

Clearly, Jiang Jing already knew the assessment results as well.

"Mayor Gao, regarding the city's economic indicators, have the results come out?"

"Yes, they just came out not long ago," Gao Qidong slowly explained. "The real situation is very bad; all counties and districts have issues with inflated data, and Wenyang's problems are the most severe."

Jiang Jing was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Please come to my office; let us study how to handle this face-to-face!"

Gao Qidong hurriedly replied, "Very well, I will come over immediately."

A moment later, Gao Qidong knocked on the door of the Municipal Party Secretary's office.

"Please sit!" Jiang Jing pointed to the sofa opposite, stood up, and poured a cup of tea for Gao Qidong.

Gao Qidong took the teacup, said "Thank you," and then handed the materials in his hand to Jiang Jing.

"These are the materials just reported by the working group; please take a look."

Jiang Jing took the materials, scanned them, and saw Yechuan County ranked in first place at a glance, a look of obvious surprise appearing in her eyes:

"How did Yechuan County end up in first place?"

Faced with the real data, it was impossible to splash dirty water on Tang Ye.

Gao Qidong explained truthfully: "Because the data for Yechuan County has much less inflation than Wenyang, its actual data is better than Wenyang's."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly and slowly said, "This time, the Municipal Government established a special working group to conduct a comprehensive audit of the city's economic indicators, and the effect is obvious.

Next, we must carry out corresponding punishments according to the audit results, and give warnings and criticism and education to the cadres who have committed violations.

I suggest that the Municipal Government draft the document, and then the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government issue it together; only in this way can it truly have a deterrent effect.

What do you think?"

Gao Qidong was somewhat surprised!

He had not expected Jiang Jing to propose that the Municipal Party Committee also participate in issuing the document.

On the surface, this was an emphasis on this work, but in reality, it was an attempt to interfere with the specific content of the document.

Jiang Jing was protecting Tang Ye; she was worried that if the Municipal Government issued the document alone, it would impose disciplinary action on Tang Ye and cause an adverse impact on him, which was why she made such a proposal.

Jiang Jing knew the little scheme in Gao Qidong's heart!

She would absolutely not let Tang Ye have any stain on his resume in Xiyang!

For a young cadre with potential, once there is a stain on his resume, it easily becomes a target for political enemies to attack later on...
