Chapter 179: Fortunately, You Were Thorough!

The next morning, after Tang Ye went to the Personnel and Organization Section to complete his check-in procedures, he hurried to the Vice Mayor's office to report to Jiang Jing on what had happened the previous night.

After listening, Jiang Jing's expression turned grave, and she sighed, "This Cai Weilin is simply insane. When a problem arises, his first thought isn't to resolve it, but to persecute the common people even more viciously."

Tang Ye sighed, "They think that as long as they get a settlement agreement, the matter can be completely put to rest."

Jiang Jing paced back and forth in the office, blaming herself, "I thought about things too simply. Fortunately, you were thorough and foresaw that those people might retaliate; otherwise, my good intentions would have led to a bad outcome this time."

"Mayor, please don't say that. I actually think this is a good thing; it's like waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree stump. They've exposed themselves, which saves us a lot of trouble, and we can take the opportunity to round them all up," Tang Ye said, hurriedly comforting her.

Jiang Jing nodded at Tang Ye and instructed, "There will be a Municipal Government Executive Meeting in a while. Prepare yourself; I will highlight this matter during the meeting."

Tang Ye was secretly surprised.

He hadn't expected that on his first day of work, he would attend the Municipal Government Executive Meeting, which was only held once a month.

Jiang Jing was in her office reviewing documents.

Soon, Tang Ye came to knock on the door and said, "Mayor, these are the meeting materials."

Jiang Jing was quite surprised; she had originally intended for Tang Ye to attend the meeting on his first day just to get a feel for the atmosphere.

She hadn't expected that he would have also meticulously prepared the meeting materials.

Jiang Jing took the materials, quickly flipped through them, and made revisions to a few places.

She looked up and saw Tang Ye standing to the side, seemingly waiting for her to provide feedback on the revisions.

Jiang Jing waved a hand at Tang Ye and approved, "The meeting materials are very well prepared. I only modified a few figures and added a few points; there is no need to reprint them."

Tang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Preparing meeting materials for leaders is the core of a secretary's work.

Every key figure in the materials must be precise and error-free.

Relying on his excellent memory and his habit of accumulating such information in his daily life, Tang Ye was able to write the materials with ease and use them flexibly.

Many people think that a secretary is just a nanny-like figure busy running around for the Mayor all day.

But in reality, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

A truly capable high-level secretary is the leader's brain trust.

The attendees of the Municipal Government Executive Meeting consist of the Mayor, Vice Mayors, and the Secretary-General.

This meeting was chaired by Xiao Jingyu, Deputy Secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Committee and Mayor, with City Leaders Jiang Jing, Wang Minghua, Huang Hailang, Gao Fuqiang, Cui Gangjian, Chen Jiancong, Chu Wenbin, and Lu Hao all in attendance.

Zhang Yalin, Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, Guo Baisheng, Vice Chairman of the Municipal CPPCC, and relevant comrades from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision attended the meeting as non-voting delegates.

The Municipal Government Executive Meeting is held once a month in principle, though it can be convened at any time if special circumstances arise.

Tang Ye walked into the conference room.

Everyone was already seated.

He chose to find an empty seat in the corner and sat down.

People who can appear in this setting are no ordinary individuals.

Not long after he sat down, someone took the initiative to come over and greet him.

"Section Chief Tang, hello. My name is Wang Ming." The person looked four or five years older than Tang Ye and was extremely polite when speaking to him; he was the Section Chief of Secretary Section Five. "Your seat is over there; this is my seat."

Tang Ye realized he had sat in the wrong place and said with a hint of apology, "I am truly sorry."

The rules here were vastly different from those in the townships.

Not only were there strict requirements for the seating of the Mayors at the conference table, but even the Mayors' Chief Secretaries had to sit in their respective designated spots.

Tang Ye sat in the second seat of the secretary row.

Although there were no eye-catching nameplates in front of him like there were for the leaders, others could tell his identity at a glance.

Just as Tang Ye had settled in, Mayor Xiao walked into the conference room.

Following him was a tall, handsome man.

He skillfully helped Mayor Xiao set up his teacup, carefully confirmed that the meeting materials were correct, and then walked to his own seat with a solemn expression.

Tang Ye had done his homework beforehand.

This person was Jin Ming, known as the "Second-in-Command" of the Municipal Government and Mayor Xiao's secretary.

Jin Ming did not greet Tang Ye, and Tang Ye had no intention of striking up a conversation with him.

After the meeting began, Jin Ming became the busiest person in the conference room.

One moment he would walk quickly outside the conference room, and the next he would hurry back to Mayor Xiao's side, leaning over to report something in a low voice.

Whenever the other chief secretaries looked at Jin Ming, their faces also carried smiles, and their attitudes appeared quite respectful.

The meeting conveyed and deeply studied the spirit of the Central Committee meeting as well as the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference.

Xiao Jingyu emphasized that the entire city of Hanzhou must delve deeply into the relevant spiritual connotations and meticulously implement every requirement to ensure that policy execution does not go astray or become distorted.

Subsequently, the meeting entered the segment of hearing reports on the handling of suggestions from People's Congress Representatives and proposals from CPPCC Members, as well as the deliberations of the People's Congress Standing Committee.

Xiao Jingyu pointed out that all handling units must conscientiously review their past work, solidly carry out "look-back" actions, make all-out efforts to rectify problems, and effectively fulfill their promises.

They must carefully analyze the gap between "basically satisfied" and "satisfied," actively adopt effective measures, and ensure that suggestions and proposals are effectively implemented to give representatives, committee members, and the masses a satisfactory answer.

Following that, the meeting heard a report on the rectification of municipal budget execution and other fiscal revenue and expenditure audits.

Xiao Jingyu demanded that all departments, in response to problems discovered by audits, must be adept at drawing inferences about other cases, uphold the philosophy of "treating existing illnesses and preventing future ones," and not only resolve exposed problems but also proactively prevent potential risks...

The meeting proceeded methodically to the fourth agenda item.

Xiao Jingyu looked around the conference room with a steady gaze and asked, "Are there any other matters that need to be discussed?"

At this moment, Jiang Jing gently pressed the button to light up the microphone in front of her and said in a firm voice, "Mayor Xiao, fellow comrades, I have a situation here that requires everyone to pool their wisdom and brainstorm together!"

A glimmer of intrigue flashed in Xiao Jingyu's eyes.

"Comrade Jiang Jing, you have been in Hanzhou for some time now. You must have many profound insights into the problems existing in Hanzhou; feel free to speak plainly."

Jiang Jing looked slightly in Tang Ye's direction.

Tang Ye understood, stood up quickly, and distributed the materials he had prepared in advance.

Jiang Jing held the documents in her hand and waved them in the air.

"These are the results I obtained from my undercover visit last night. Meijing Group has been using the Old City Renovation Project as an opportunity to amass wealth unscrupulously. Not only have they failed to complete the project schedule according to the contract, but they have also hired social idlers to persecute the common people; their behavior is truly vile."

Xiao Jingyu's expression sank, becoming as cold as water, and he cast his gaze toward Wang Minghua, asking, "Comrade Minghua, are you aware of this matter?"

As the Mayor responsible for the Old City Renovation Project, Wang Minghua never expected that Jiang Jing would suddenly point the finger at him.

In an instant, cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

"I received news yesterday and have also understood some of the situation. Mayor Jiang may have listened to one-sided words."

Hearing this, Jiang Jing let out a cold laugh and retorted, "One-sided words? Last night, the boss of Meijing Group, Cai Weilin, led a group of thugs to break into a private residence and was caught on the spot by the police who arrived shortly after; the evidence of the crime is ironclad. Are you still trying to exonerate and defend him now?"

Wang Minghua's complexion changed slightly in an instant.

There was an information gap!

The matter of Cai Weilin being arrested.

He was not aware of it...
