Chapter 320: The Wisdom of Fighting Without Breaking!

When Jiang Jing emerged from the Municipal Party Secretary's office, his gait was noticeably lighter, as if he had set down a heavy burden.

Tang Ye was quickly called into the office.

Jiang Jing's brows relaxed; Tang Ye thought to himself that a strategy to break the deadlock regarding Hanxing Group had been found.

"Secretary Zhou just issued an order for the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office to follow the Hanxing Group issue throughout the entire process, with the primary task being to resolve the employees' wages." Jiang Jing's expression was serious, revealing a confidence born of having a plan in hand.

With the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office taking the lead, that meant it would be handed over to Du Chengfeng to handle.

Tang Ye let out a long sigh: "There is only one month left until the Spring Festival; if this isn't handled well, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jiang Jing sighed softly, his gaze profound: "The problem with Hanxing Group has torn open the old scars of state-owned enterprises. When I was at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, I came into contact with many state-owned enterprises, but one as riddled with holes as Hanxing is truly rare. Yesterday, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection already took Guo Yi into custody; preliminary investigations show that he hasn't skimmed little money into his own pockets over these years. If we can recover the illicit funds, the immediate urgent crisis might be eased somewhat."

Tang Ye did not respond; he understood Jiang Jing too well—this leader's rectification of Hanxing Group was by no means limited to solving the immediate crisis.

Jiang Jing looked at his contemplative appearance and suddenly smiled: "Why, do you have thoughts on the rectification of Hanxing?"

Tang Ye knew this was Jiang Jing testing him, so he spoke after a moment of deliberation: "The automobile manufacturing industry concerns the national economy and the people's livelihood. Qian Lao once predicted that the automobile industry would become the core growth point of the future economy. Although Hanxing Group focuses on bus manufacturing, with the popularization of private cars and the surge in market demand, they can completely adjust their direction at the right time."

Jiang Jing's eyes lit up, and he looked him over with great interest.

Tang Ye continued to speak eloquently: "As far as I know, Hanxing is currently developing new energy electric buses, and their technology is at the forefront nationwide, which coincides with Qian Lao's judgment. Therefore, although Hanxing has taken a wrong turn for a moment, the general direction has not gone astray. This crisis might just be the opportunity to get back on the right track."

"Little Tang, your ideas are very insightful." Jiang Jing nodded in approval, "You write a rectification proposal first, and we will study it in depth after the Spring Festival."

Although Jiang Jing was not an expert in the field of automobile manufacturing, he still greatly appreciated this forward-looking analysis from Tang Ye.

It was precisely because of this that whenever there was a major event, Jiang Jing was always willing to listen to Tang Ye's insights.

"In addition, the person who harassed Zhang Chunshui's granddaughter has been dismissed, and the police have also taken them into custody." Jiang Jing continued to report other progress, "As for Huang Bihong, Secretary Zhou instructed that reasonable compensation should be provided."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "The current predicament can be considered resolved."

……

After leaving the office, Tang Ye dialed Hong Ruilin's number: "Old Master, I would like to report to you regarding the follow-up handling of Hanxing Group..."

After he explained in detail, Hong Ruilin's steady voice came through the receiver: "Zhang Chunshui already mentioned it to me; he is full of praise for your ability to handle affairs, as you both resolved the trouble for his granddaughter and secured the livelihoods of thousands of employees."

Tang Ye's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked: "Old Master, do you think there was someone deliberately plotting behind this strike?"

Hong Ruilin's tone was indifferent: "That is hard for me to say. However, the problems at Hanxing have been accumulating for a long time; the strike was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back."

Tang Ye held the phone, pondering to himself, and already had some answers in his heart.

This matter also served as a profound warning to him.

These old leaders might seem to have retreated behind the scenes, but they were actually unfathomable; once they made a move, their methods were often impossible to guard against.

……

Lunch break.

Tang Ye was preparing to rest for a while.

A familiar figure appeared at the door with a beaming smile.

"Sister, why didn't you give me a heads-up before coming?" Tang Ye was both surprised and happy.

Cheng Lin was wearing a neatly tailored short coat, her elegant temperament even better than before; she pursed her lips and smiled: "I was afraid of disturbing your work."

The moment their eyes met, ripples stirred in Cheng Lin's heart.

It had been a long time since they last met; Tang Ye's temperament had become increasingly steady, his clear eyes held a bit more sharpness from having insight into the world, and his deep, resonant voice added even more charm to his mature masculinity.

She had once thought that time could dilute everything, but upon this reunion, those deeply buried memories surged up like a tide. Cheng Lin kept warning herself in her heart: Tang Ye is already married, I must remain rational and restrained.

Tang Ye hurriedly welcomed her into the room and poured hot tea: "Did you encounter something that requires my help?"

Cheng Lin took a light sip of tea and said slowly: "Department Head Xia asked me to go to the Organization Department to report on my work and, incidentally, gave me a new assignment."

Tang Ye immediately reacted: "Is the matter of going to Suiyuan County settled? What position will you hold?"

"Deputy County Party Secretary and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

"Sister, that is a major promotion!" Tang Ye congratulated her sincerely.

Cheng Lin was currently the Minister of the Organization Department of the Tianling County Party Committee, ranked fifth.

If she were to serve as Deputy County Party Secretary, she would be ranked third.

Although it was still at the Deputy Division Level, it was only one step away from the Division Level.

One must know, it had been less than a year since she was transferred to Tianling County.

Cheng Lin's speed of promotion was too fast!

It was mainly because Cheng Lin was a cadre within the organizational system, and those close to the water enjoy the moonlight first.

Additionally, Cheng Lin's background played a key factor.

If Cheng Lin could rise further, it was not a bad thing for Tang Ye.

Although he couldn't use it right now, in the long run, it was a hidden resource of connections.

Cheng Lin's expression turned solemn, her tone serious: "The situation in Suiyuan is more complex than imagined. Wang Xingjian was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection some days ago; next, the county will likely face a major transformation."

Tang Ye pondered to himself; in fact, as early as several months ago, Wang Xingjian's transfer to the Municipal CPPCC was a subtle signal—first transfer him away from a position of real power to avoid causing tremors in the Suiyuan officialdom, and then gradually infiltrate and divide.

Now that several months had passed, the personnel layout of Suiyuan County had quietly changed; the once deeply entrenched "Suiyuan Gang" forces were either being won over, marginalized, or under close surveillance.

The once formidable group had fallen apart in silence.

Reviewing the entire process in detail, Tang Ye couldn't help but feel admiration for Zhou Chengwu's layout methods—unhurried and steady, with every step hiding a mystery.

Looking at Xiao Jingyu again, his wings had been gradually clipped, and he was showing signs of decline in this power struggle.

However, Zhou Chengwu had not chosen to completely tear his face off with Xiao Jingyu.

The sense of proportion in "fighting without breaking" was precisely the wisdom of officialdom maneuvering.

Tang Ye pondered secretly in his heart that he still needed to learn and comprehend these ways more.

"The more you are entrusted with a heavy responsibility at a critical moment, the more it shows that the leadership trusts your ability; this is a good opportunity to achieve some results." Tang Ye encouraged her sincerely.

Cheng Lin smiled: "It's been a long time, you speak with more and more insight."

Tang Ye scratched his head in embarrassment: "I am truly happy for you; these principles, Sister, you must understand even better than I do! What are your plans for the evening? How about I call Du Xi and we eat together."

Cheng Lin nodded happily, "Sure, I'll wait for your notification!"

After Cheng Lin left, Tang Ye immediately dialed Du Xi's phone number.

Upon hearing that she would be dining with Cheng Lin that evening, Du Xi laughed lightly on the other end of the line: "Then I really must spruce myself up; I can't afford to lose face!"

Tang Ye couldn't help but smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Relax, just keep a normal mindset, don't make it too grand."

Hanging up the phone, Du Xi fell into deep thought.

She knew clearly in her heart that the friendship between Cheng Lin and Tang Ye was far from as simple as a normal colleague relationship.

During the critical period when Tang Yu was promoted to Vice President, Cheng Lin had secretly helped a great deal.

Although she had only met Cheng Lin once, Du Xi had a very deep impression of her; she was a very outstanding woman.
