Chapter 1405: Gao Guangquan Welcomes a Turning Point!

Cheng Xin was somewhat surprised and raised a question, "Although Gao Guangquan performed very prominently in the flood control efforts, if we report him up, will there be controversy?"

Tang Ye waved his hand and insisted, "Gao Guangquan did indeed have the issue of falsifying data when reporting economic indicators previously, and the county had already issued a circular of criticism against him at that time.

Although he committed a serious mistake, this time, he can be considered to have made up for his past faults with his current merits.

If it weren't for that moving, heart-shaking, and earth-shattering kneel of his on the Chenxin Town river embankment, it would have been very difficult to successfully transfer and evacuate all the common people within the stipulated time!"

Cheng Xin nodded quickly and said, "Very well, County Magistrate Tang, I will add Gao Guangquan's name immediately. Do you have any other opinions regarding the other personnel on the list?"

Tang Ye shook his head, "No other opinions. Just report this list to the city as it is! Additionally, if the city requires us to establish a model, then nominate Comrade Gao Guangquan!"

Cheng Xin secretly marveled at Tang Ye's broad-mindedness; even though Gao Guangquan had made mistakes, Tang Ye was still willing to give him a chance.

If it were any other leader, they would never do this and would most likely ignore Gao Guangquan.

……

Cheng Xin returned to the office, arranged for someone to revise the commendation list, then submitted the new list to Tang Ye for review before reporting it to the Municipal Party Committee Office!

Three days later.

The commendation documents were issued level by level!

Chenxin Town, Party Committee Secretary Office.

The door was knocked on.

The Liaison Officer walked in with a smile and placed a document on the table, "Secretary Gao, this is the commendation document just issued by the city! Both you and Town Mayor Xu are on the commendation list. Congratulations to you both!"

Gao Guangquan hurriedly took the document into his hands, and the moment he saw his own name, his inner emotions surged, and he was filled with mixed feelings.

He was not surprised at all that Xu Yang could be commended,

but the fact that he himself could also appear on the commendation list greatly exceeded his expectations!

Because he was someone who had just received a disciplinary action, generally speaking, the Municipal Party Committee would exclude his eligibility during commendations.

The only explanation was that County Magistrate Tang had strongly recommended him.

At this moment, the landline on the desk rang.

A crisp female voice came from the phone.

"Secretary Gao, hello, I am Tian Xiaomeng, a reporter from the 'News Girl' program team."

"Reporter Tian, thank you for your previous report, which let more enthusiastic members of society know about our difficulties. The supplies from these enthusiastic people were a timely rain, and we have handled them properly."

"Secretary Gao, you are too kind!" Tian Xiaomeng said with a smile, "The city requested our program team to do an interview with a model figure, and County Magistrate Tang chose you. He feels that there are many topics surrounding you, and the interview program produced will be of interest to the audience!"

Hearing that there was to be a character interview, Gao Guangquan showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and smiled as he declined, "Why don't you choose someone else! Actually, County Magistrate Tang is the most suitable; he had the greatest merit in this flood control effort."

Tian Xiaomeng shook her head and said in a sincere tone, "No, you are more suitable! This is a task assigned to me by the organization, so please cooperate."

Gao Guangquan sighed helplessly, knowing he could not refuse, "Alright then, let's set a time!"

Tian Xiaomeng said, "Then let's set it for tomorrow morning, is that convenient for you?"

"Very well, see you tomorrow morning!"

The next morning.

Tian Xiaomeng arrived at Chenxin Town.

Only a few days had passed since the flood submerged the streets, but to her, Chenxin Town did not feel as dead and chaotic as she had imagined.

The common people were cleaning stains off the exterior walls in front of their own doors, and one could also see staff members wearing protective suits spraying disinfectant in sanitary blind spots.

It was a scene of busyness and order.

The interview vehicle drove into the Government.

Gao Guangquan was already waiting downstairs to welcome them.

"Reporter Tian, welcome! Please follow me to the conference room, we will conduct the interview there."

"Alright."

Arriving at the conference room.

The cameraman quickly set up the tripod.

Tian Xiaomeng took out the interview outline she had prepared in advance.

"Secretary Gao, the interview is starting. Please relax and don't have any psychological burden; just treat it like a normal conversation."

"Alright, please ask away!"

Tian: "We understand that you previously committed a major problem! Can you talk about the situation at that time?"

Gao: "Yes, mentioning this matter, I still feel ashamed. Previously, because I falsified economic indicator data, I was seriously disciplined by the higher-level departments. Since then, I have been more cautious and treat every work task seriously."

Tian: "During the process of this flood control and disaster relief, you fought side-by-side with the common people. What were you thinking at that time?"

Gao: "When the flood arrived, as a Party member, one should charge to the very front. My thoughts at that time were very pure: as long as the common people were there, I had to stick to my post and never retreat!"

Tian: "I heard that when it was time to evacuate, you knelt down to the common people! Why did you do that?"

Gao: "The situation was urgent at the time, and I could only use this simplest way to express my determination. The common people are reasonable; they felt my sincerity and actively cooperated with us. Subsequently, the evacuation work went very smoothly."

Tian: "We also learned that when finally transferring the masses, you prioritized leaving the opportunity to ride the transport vehicles to the critically ill patients. Can you describe the specific situation at that time?"

Gao: "Actually, this decision was made by County Magistrate Tang. At that time, several of us town cadres were moved by County Magistrate Tang's spirit. Watching the flood overflow and the water level getting higher and higher, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid, but I don't regret it."

Tian Xiaomeng interviewed Gao Guangquan for about thirty minutes, and through in-depth questioning, she collected enough material.

"Secretary Gao, thank you for your cooperation. My interview ends here."

"Very well, Reporter Tian, if you need anything, you can contact me directly." Gao Guangquan said with a smile, "My wife likes your program very much and is a loyal viewer of yours."

Tian Xiaomeng smiled, "Is that so? Thank you for your wife's support. Please watch the program tomorrow night; we will broadcast the exclusive interview then."

Gao Guangquan said, "Alright, we will definitely watch it on time!"

After seeing off Tian Xiaomeng and the cameraman.

Gao Guangquan received a call from the County Government Office.

"Secretary Gao, please come to the County Government now. County Magistrate Tang wants to see you."

"Understood, I will set off immediately."

Forty minutes later, Gao Guangquan knocked on the office door.

Tang Ye personally brewed a cup of Hanzhou Green for Gao Guangquan.

"Lao Gao, have some tea!"

"Thank you, County Magistrate Tang."

Gao Guangquan took a sip of the tea.

Tang Ye smiled, "Lao Gao, I have discussed your situation with Dong. Considering your family circumstances, the county will adjust your work position in the near future. This way, you will have more time to take care of your family."

Upon hearing this news, Gao Guangquan froze as if stunned.

After a long while, he came back to his senses.

"County Magistrate Tang, I cannot leave Chenxin Town at this time. Chenxin Town has just experienced a serious natural disaster, and there is a massive amount of work to be redone. If I leave now, I would truly become a deserter."

Tang Ye said, "Then what about your family?"

Gao Guangquan insisted, "I will talk them through it. They will understand me."

Tang Ye patted Gao Guangquan on the shoulder, "The choice you have made is good news for the common people of Chenxin Town. Given the current situation in Chenxin Town, it truly cannot do without you."

Gao Guangquan's spirits lifted, "Thank you for your understanding, County Magistrate Tang."

Tang Ye laughed, "Previously, there were misunderstandings between us, but having shared trials and tribulations, those misunderstandings have been resolved. I appreciate you, and believe me, as long as you work hard, there will be opportunities!"
