Chapter 1413: Help Me Check on Tang Ye!

In business dinners of this type, both participating parties generally already have a preliminary intention to cooperate.

However, to truly implement it, continuous contact is still required.

Today's dinner made Feng Weiming quite surprised.

Because he did not expect to see someone like Tang Ye, who has in-depth research on capital and industry, at the dinner table.

However, from Tang Ye's words, he was not particularly interested in E-commerce.

That lack of interest of his was not because he did not understand E-commerce, but because he felt that E-commerce no longer possessed strategic value.

This special attitude made the high-and-mighty Feng Weiming somewhat surprised, and it also aroused his curiosity.

After the dinner ended, Feng Weiming instructed his assistant, "Help me check Tang Ye's personal information."

The assistant was stunned for a moment, because she did not expect Feng Weiming to be interested in a County Magistrate.

"Understood, I will arrange for an investigation immediately!" the assistant said hurriedly.

Around ten o'clock the next morning, the assistant knocked on the door of Feng Weiming's office with a file.

"Mr. Feng, this is the information you wanted last night."

Feng Weiming took the file, his gaze suddenly locked onto "Dayu E-commerce Incubation Base," and a look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes.

Subsequently, his gaze landed on family relationships.

His mother Qin Lan was actually one of the founders of Qinge Group!!!

He had studied the development process of Qinge Group; it was an industry that came back from the dead through E-commerce!

Feng Weiming studied the timeline.

The rise of Qinge actually had a connection with Tang Ye's resume!

Feng Weiming calculated the time; it turned out that five years ago, Tang Ye had already come into contact with E-commerce.

"No wonder he didn't mention E-commerce at all! He feels this project is already outdated!"

The assistant said in surprise, "Outdated? Right now, any industry in Huaguo related to E-commerce is red-hot. The government is supporting it, and the capital market recognizes it. By using capital means to operate a listing, one can have generous returns."

Feng Weiming shook his head, "When an industry is known by most people, the investment potential of that industry has already reached its end. Daring to seek change when economic benefits are at their best—this requires great courage and great wisdom. Tang Ye possesses a vision and perspective that differ from ordinary people."

"In addition, his layout in Yechuan is surprising. To actually dare to lay out a national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base in a county—this boldness and foresight are astonishing!"

The assistant said softly, "You admire him very much."

Feng Weiming laughed, "In my view, investing in him would be the most secure business?"

The assistant was taken aback, "Investing in him?"

Feng Weiming nodded, "At the dinner, you didn't notice a key piece of information. Tang Ye is studying full-time at the Central Party School, and the Central Party School is the cradle for cultivating Ministerial Level Officials. He is qualified to study there, which means that as long as he doesn't make major mistakes, he has the opportunity to be promoted to a Ministerial Level Official in the future."

A Ministerial Level Official?

In Huaguo, this is a ceiling-level existence!

The assistant still lacked experience, and nodded belatedly, "Mr. Feng, you look at problems very profoundly; I have learned something!"

……

The next morning, Tang Ye received a call from Lu Tianming.

"County Magistrate Tang, Secretary Jiang has a meeting tomorrow, a symposium held at the Provincial Office in Beijing. Come and participate!"

Tang Ye secretly pondered that this was specifically recommended by Jiang Jing, "What is the content of the chat? Who is at the symposium?"

Lu Tianming said, "There are two Municipal Party Secretaries and two county-level officials at the symposium. The leader of the symposium is not yet determined."

The next morning, Tang Ye took a half-day leave and arrived at the Provincial Office in Beijing.

He entered the main building and groped his way toward the location.

Two officials were sitting on the sofa at the entrance; they were originally whispering and laughing, but seeing someone enter, the expressions on their faces uniformly turned into "official faces."

One of the middle-aged men said: "Wait. Who are you."

Judging from the attire and temperament of these two people, they should be officials from the Provincial Party Committee Office.

Tang Ye said politely, "I am Yechuan County Magistrate Tang Ye; I received a notice to come and report on work to Provincial Governor Fu."

The middle-aged man was named Shen Guotong, a Division Chief in the Provincial Party Committee Office.

Wen Zhengming was holding a small-scale symposium at the Beijing Liaison Office, and the invitees included Xiyang City Municipal Party Committee Secretary Jiang Jing, Runzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Ping, and two county-level officials.

Shen Guotong sized Tang Ye up twice, "Please show your ID card and work permit."

Tang Ye took his ID card out of his wallet and handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him. He explained: "This is my ID card; I don't have my work permit with me."

Beside Shen Guotong was a security guard, who took out the list and ID card to verify, "There is no problem with the ID card."

Subsequently, he returned the ID card to Tang Ye.

Shen Guotong criticized with a serious expression, "Have you never participated in this kind of high-level meeting? Why didn't you bring your work permit? Without a work permit, who can prove your identity."

As the saying goes, even a gatekeeper at a prime minister's house is a seventh-rank official.

Shen Guotong felt that although he and Tang Ye were both Department-level Officials, he was an official of the Provincial Party Committee and an accompanying staff member for the number one leader, so he could naturally lecture a County-Division Level official a few times.

Tang Ye explained again, "I'm sorry, because of certain reasons, I forgot to bring my work permit."

Shen Guotong knew that Tang Ye's identity could not be fake, but he still put on an official attitude, "According to the regulations, without a work permit, I cannot let you pass."

Tang Ye knew that Shen Guotong was using a chicken feather as a token of authority, but under these circumstances, he could not be anxious, and even less could he lose his temper. He continued to explain: "I have been studying full-time at the Central Party School, and my work permit is in Yechuan County. I only received the meeting notice last night. I don't know if there are any comrades from the Xiyang City Municipal Party Committee nearby? They can confirm my identity."

Just as he was speaking, Lu Tianming walked out of the restroom and saw Tang Ye being blocked outside the door, explaining something to Shen Guotong of the Provincial Party Committee Office.

He knew that this person Shen Guotong was a bit long-winded, so he hurried over.

With the help of the secretary to the Xiyang City Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Shen Guotong relaxed his tense face and said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult, I was just doing things by the book."

After Tang Ye went upstairs, Shen Guotong thought to himself that he had long heard that the Yechuan County Magistrate was very young, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

After Tang Ye went upstairs, a young man next to him asked softly, "What is Tang Ye's background? He became a County Magistrate so young, and he even has the opportunity to study at the Central Party School."

The young man was from the Provincial Public Security Department and was responsible for the security work of this trip.

Shen Guotong said, "Tang Ye was once the secretary to the Xiyang City Municipal Party Committee Secretary, who recommended him to be County Magistrate."

The young man flattered him, "Following a Municipal Party Secretary can lead to becoming a County Party Secretary; Division Chief Shen, you are someone by the side of the Provincial Party Secretary, perhaps one day you will become a Municipal Party Secretary, and when that time comes, I will certainly have to come looking for you."

Although he knew clearly that this was bootlicking, Shen Guotong still felt quite comfortable hearing it; he neither confirmed nor denied it, his expression indifferent as he said, "That depends on fate."

Seeing Shen Guotong so composed, the young man admired him even more.

Deep in his heart, Shen Guotong felt a trace of bitterness; within the organs of the Provincial Party Committee Office, Section Level cadres were as numerous as ox hairs, and in his daily life, he had absolutely no opportunity to come into contact with the Provincial Party Secretary.

That he was able to accompany the Provincial Party Secretary on this business trip was purely a stroke of coincidence, and what was frustrating was that throughout the entire business trip, he had only spoken a single sentence to Wen Zhengming.

Compared to Shen Guotong's anxiety, Tang Ye's mood was much more peaceful.

A Division Chief of a Provincial Department might seem able to look down from a high position and lecture a County Magistrate, but from a realistic perspective, a Provincial Department Division Chief is in a sense just a service worker, lacking the authority of a local real-power Section Level cadre who decides the fate of a region.

Without decision-making power, can one even be considered an official?
