Chapter 1381: A Risky Move Indeed!

The next day, when Tang Ye went to work, he was treated to the spectacle of being surrounded by onlookers.

More people than usual took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

Once he walked into his office, everyone began whispering behind his back.

"County Magistrate Tang looks exceptionally happy today; he's had a smile on his face the whole time."

"If it were me, I'd be happy too! Our county took first place in economic indicators; how could he not be happy as the County Magistrate?"

"County Magistrate Tang is truly amazing. When he first arrived, everyone thought he was too young and just here to gild his resume with some experience. Who would have thought that in these two years, he would have genuinely accomplished so many major things."

"Indeed, now I finally understand how high the value of a Reserve Cadre from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department really is."

"County Magistrate Tang had outstanding political achievements back in Dayu County. As expected, excellent people can shine and radiate heat wherever they go!"

"Everyone used to laugh at him for being an 'internet celebrity County Magistrate.' If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with being an internet celebrity County Magistrate; being able to drive local development and activate regional vitality is far better than those cadres who spend all day holding a teacup and accomplishing nothing."

"Since we took first place in the economy this year, our year-end bonuses will definitely be much higher!"

……

Tang Ye walked into his office.

Ma Ran followed him in and brewed a cup of tea for Tang Ye.

Tang Ye took out a document and handed it to Ma Ran: "I have arranged a new task for you."

Ma Ran took the document, his expression instantly becoming solemn: "County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured. If I am transferred to Lianhua Town, I will definitely perform my duties steadily and work diligently; I will never lose face for you."

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh: "My arrangement for you to go to Lianhua Town is mainly to interface with the Zhao Group. The Zhao Group plans to invest a huge amount of capital in Lianhua Town to build a key cultural tourism project for Yechuan. I must arrange for a reliable person to follow up and supervise the entire process."

Ma Ran nodded emphatically: "I will definitely go all out and secure this project to a high standard."

Ma Ran returned to his own office, his heart surging with emotion and filled with a thousand thoughts.

He was currently the Deputy Director of the Office for the Yechuan County Government, with an administrative rank of Deputy Section Level.

The position Tang Ye had arranged for him this time was Acting Town Mayor of Lianhua Town, with an administrative rank rising directly to Section Chief.

One must know, he had only known Tang Ye for four years.

In just four short years, he had been promoted from a Staff Member to a Section Chief.

Now, he was only twenty-eight years old.

Back then, many people, including his parents, had questioned Ma Ran's choice.

Giving up a familiar work environment to travel far to another province to join Tang Ye—everyone felt he was being too impulsive.

But the facts eventually proved it.

Ma Ran's choice was not wrong!

In the years following Tang Ye, he had learned many things.

His professional competence was secondary!

Primarily, he had forged a long-term strategic vision and a mindset for the big picture!

……

The desk phone rang.

Tang Ye glanced at the caller ID; it was Xia Hong's office landline, so he quickly answered.

"Minister Xia, hello. May I ask what your instructions are?"

Xia Hong's tone carried a smile: "The training class for Division Level cadres at the Central Party School is about to start soon. Have you arranged the work on your hands properly?"

Tang Ye replied: "Everything is ready, please rest assured, Minister Xia."

Xia Hong said: "The overall rank of this training class isn't the absolute top, but its value is extremely high. I will send you a list of the students later."

Tang Ye expressed his sincere gratitude: "Everything is ready, please rest assured, Minister Xia."

Xia Hong hung up the phone and sent the student list to Tang Ye via email, the corners of her mouth lifting into a gratified smile unconsciously.

Tang Ye was a cadre she had personally discovered and carefully cultivated in Hanzhou.

Therefore, Xia Hong had always paid special attention to Tang Ye's career development.

Now that Tang Ye had led Yechuan County to achieve the top economic ranking in the entire county.

It was like a carefully nurtured flower seedling that had finally broken through the soil and bloomed brilliantly.

This heartfelt gratification and satisfaction were difficult to describe fully in words!

Tang Ye clicked on the email and began to study the student list carefully.

After a little deliberation and reflection, Tang Ye sighed inwardly!

This list of trainees could truly be described as containing hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

……

Friday.

Yunhu Villa.

After Tang Ye entered the door, he discovered that Du Chengfeng had already returned from Runzhou.

Du Chengfeng was holding his granddaughter and sitting in the living room watching television.

The television was playing a cartoon.

Tang Ye walked up and said with a smile: "Dad, let me hold An'an."

Du Chengfeng handed his granddaughter over.

Seeing his granddaughter smiling at Tang Ye with her eyes curved like crescent moons, Du Chengfeng teased: "An'an really does like her father more."

Tang Ye smiled and whispered to An'an: "Grandpa is jealous."

After dinner, Tang Ye followed Du Chengfeng into the study.

Du Chengfeng looked at Tang Ye with a serious expression: "You have played a risky move this time!"

Tang Ye nodded frankly: "I know I've poked a hornet's nest this time. Even if the result is not satisfactory, I have no regrets!"

Du Chengfeng slowly stood up, a smile of approval appearing on his face: "You have taken a step that many dare not take. Although I do not entirely agree with your way of doing things, I admire your courage from the bottom of my heart. The current trend across the province of rectifying political performance bubbles originated from the fire you were the first to ignite. I am truly proud of you."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, and it was a long time before he spoke: "Dad, thank you for your recognition."

Du Chengfeng said with a smile: "Under your governance, Yechuan has risen to the top of the city's economy, and its phased mission has been completed. Next, prepare yourself to attend the Party School Training at the Central Party School with peace of mind."

Tang Ye looked hesitant: "If I go to the Central Party School for training, I am a bit worried about things here in Yechuan."

Du Chengfeng encouraged him: "You can leave the trivial daily work to your subordinates and personally control and push forward the key core tasks; that will ensure the smooth operation of the county's work. This training opportunity is very rare. The classmates attending are from all over the country, all young and promising elite backbones. You must cherish it well."

Determination shone in Tang Ye's eyes: "Dad, don't worry, I will seize this opportunity."

Du Chengfeng looked at his son-in-law, full of heartfelt appreciation.

In just two short years, he had turned Yechuan County, which was originally in the middle of the economic pack, into the top of the city's economic rankings.

Tang Ye's governing ability was beyond doubt.

This advanced training at the Central Party School was undoubtedly a good thing for him.

It would be just the thing to let Tang Ye calm his mind, settle his experiences, and accumulate depth!

……

The personnel appointment document for Ma Ran was soon officially issued.

He received a call from Liu Chun at the first opportunity.

"Ma Ran, congratulations. I heard you are being transferred to Lianhua Town to serve as Town Mayor."

Ma Ran and Liu Chun had always maintained daily contact.

Although the two had not been able to develop into lovers, they had become close friends of the opposite sex.

"Thank you for your well wishes."

"Are you free this weekend? I'll host a dinner to see you off."

"Let me treat you instead. I really feel bad always letting you spend your money," Ma Ran responded with a smile.

"What difference does it make who pays? See you this weekend."

Hanging up the call with Ma Ran, Liu Chun sighed softly.

Seeing Ma Ran's personnel transfer order, she was genuinely happy for him.

But amidst the joy, a hint of indescribable loss welled up in her heart.

The more outstanding Ma Ran became, the further the distance between the two grew.

Liu Chun had also tried to let go of her obsession and had attended many blind dates arranged by her mother.

She had met quite a few men with superior conditions, but she always felt something was missing in her heart.

She was actually very clear about it in her heart.

Deep down, someone had long since firmly taken up residence there.

As long as Ma Ran remained unmarried, she would always find it difficult to truly let go.

Liu Chun felt that Ma Ran's ex-girlfriend was truly short-sighted!

To have met such a high-quality potential stock with a limitless future as Ma Ran, and yet not know how to cherish him...
