Chapter 339: A Complete Victory in the First Head-on Confrontation!

Jiang Jing watched as the materials were passed among the Standing Committee members.

She felt secretly relieved, thankful for Tang Ye's foresight!

Who could have imagined that these documents would actually come in handy?

If Tang Ye hadn't done some preparatory work in advance,

she feared she would have been caught off guard by those with ulterior motives.

Although Tang Ye had only been managing the Municipal Government Supervision Office for a short time,

he had relied on his keen insight and exceptional execution to fully utilize the convenience of his position, quietly accumulating key information.

What was even more rare was that he knew how to integrate this information and transform it into a weapon to defeat the enemy.

However, Tang Ye would have to leave in a while.

When that time came, she feared she would be unaccustomed to it for a period.

The atmosphere at this Executive meeting was exceptionally tense compared to the past.

Jiang Jing's gaze was firm; she decided not to beat around the bush anymore, choosing instead to confront Xiao Jingyu head-on.

Sensing the sharp aura radiating from Jiang Jing steadily rising,

Xiao Jingyu's heart sank abruptly, and he felt a vague, ominous premonition.

"The construction company that secured the Administrative Center Project has a legal representative named Yin Jian, who is none other than the brother-in-law of Municipal Finance Bureau Chief Cao Zhengchun. Over these years, they have consecutively secured multiple land projects in Chengzhong District and profited handsomely." Jiang Jing scanned the room, her every word resonating with power. "I suggest that Director Cao must do the necessary ideological work with his relatives. Additionally, the Municipal Audit Bureau's previous audit report regarding the company's demolition compensation funds contains many suspicious points; it is necessary to launch a reinvestigation."

As her voice fell, the conference room plunged into dead silence.

Xiao Jingyu's face turned ashen instantly; he had originally planned to use this opportunity to expose Jiang Jing's "mistakes" in financial work and teach her a lesson.

Yet he had not expected that Jiang Jing would not only be prepared but also switch from defense to offense, completely reversing the situation in an instant.

The other attendees also keenly sensed the dramatic shift in the situation.

Jiang Jing had brought the special relationship between Cao Zhengchun and the construction company out into the open without any hesitation.

This was tantamount to directly implying that Cao Zhengchun was pulling strings behind the scenes and manipulating everything.

At the critical moment, Li Chaoyang tapped the table lightly, breaking the deadlock: "First, the issue of migrant workers' wages is urgent and must be resolved immediately; second, the construction company cannot only enjoy the benefits without bearing the operational responsibilities; third, it is not that the Government is unwilling to allocate funds, but after the situation of the project is sorted out after the New Year, if confirmed to be correct, the funds will be disbursed on time."

Li Chaoyang's stance was clear and explicit, undoubtedly standing on Jiang Jing's side.

Driven by him, everyone echoed his sentiments, unanimously agreeing that the construction company should come forward to solve the problem and that the Government should not bear the risks for them.

Watching the one-sided situation, Xiao Jingyu was filled with annoyance but could only respond with silence.

He could not for the life of him understand how Jiang Jing had managed to understand the matter so thoroughly.

Just as he was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, Zhou Chengwu's cold gaze turned toward him: "Mayor Jingyu, please follow up and handle this matter. After all, you were the one who insisted on pushing the Chengzhong District Administrative Center Project forward, and you know the situation best. You must urge the construction company to resolve the problem as soon as possible, and all departments should handle the aftermath, especially the Propaganda Department, which must closely monitor public opinion."

Zhou Chengwu's tone allowed for no rebuttal.

The forceful arrangement caught Xiao Jingyu off guard.

He never expected that this mess would ultimately fall on his own head.

Anger and resentment surged in his heart, and he cursed Cao Zhengchun to hell in his mind.

Although this dog was shrewd at calculating accounts,

in the battlefield of political struggle, compared to Jiang Jing, he was truly lacking by more than just a little bit.

After the Standing Committee meeting ended, Jiang Jing was called into the office by Zhou Chengwu.

Zhou Chengwu sat in his chair, his expression grave, "Has the problem with the Chengzhong District Administrative Center truly reached the point of being beyond repair?"

Jiang Jing sighed softly, her brow full of worry: "It is absolutely true. Numerous clues all point to Cao Zhengchun. Little Tang, while managing the Municipal Government Supervision Office, used the convenience of his position to dig up quite a few key leads."

Zhou Chengwu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's a pity Little Tang applied for a position in Suiyuan County; otherwise, the Municipal Government Supervision Office would have been quite suitable for him."

Jiang Jing thought to herself that Zhou Chengwu's attention to Tang Ye was indeed extraordinary, and she said calmly: "Suiyuan County is more suitable for him; resolving his rank issue first is beneficial for his long-term development."

Zhou Chengwu's gaze suddenly turned cold, like a blade quenched in ice: "I have dealt with Cao Zhengchun a few times; usually, I saw him as professional, capable, and conventional. I didn't expect him to be hiding so deep! What do you plan to do next?"

"Little Tang suggested he wants to meet with Lin Ru."

"Lin Ru? Why?" Zhou Chengwu frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

"He believes Lin Ru is the key to opening up the situation. Lin Ru has always had a good private relationship with Cao Zhengchun and has helped cover for him many times; she will be the key to unlocking the current situation," Jiang Jing explained patiently.

Zhou Chengwu stroked his chin, falling into deep thought: "According to information I received from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lin Ru held back when confessing, especially regarding... perhaps, let Tang Ye meet with Lin Ru. There might be an unexpected harvest."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly; he understood in his heart that the omitted part of "regarding" referred to Mayor Xiao Jingyu.

Walking out of the Municipal Party Secretary's office, Jiang Jing let out a soft breath.

This game with Xiao Jingyu!

A complete victory in the first head-on confrontation!

It was of extraordinary significance!

Xiao Jingyu returned to his office, his face gloomy.

He grabbed the phone and dialed Cao Zhengchun's number.

As soon as the call connected, he lashed out with questions: "The Chengzhong District Government is being besieged! What exactly is going on? With the Spring Festival approaching, you've stirred up such a huge mess; are you doing this on purpose so that no one can have a peaceful New Year?"

Cao Zhengchun on the other end of the phone gave a bitter laugh, "Mayor Xiao, I am truly at my wit's end. Jiang Jing is fixated on me, hounding me over the Hanxing Group matter, and now he's holding up the funding for the Chengzhong District Administrative Center Project and won't let go. I can't just sit here and wait for death, can I?"

Xiao Jingyu was silent for a moment, his tone becoming increasingly grave: "You must immediately have the developer pay the migrant workers' wages. Jiang Jing is a person with a steady temperament and deep thoughts; he is not that easy to deal with."

"Mayor Xiao, I will handle this as soon as possible. But the grudge between Jiang Jing and me is now completely set." Cao Zhengchun's voice carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Jingyu sighed heavily.

After a moment of hesitation, he dialed his old leader's number.

"Old leader, with the Spring Festival almost here, I'm wishing you a happy New Year in advance!" Xiao Jingyu's tone instantly became respectful.

"Good! When do you plan to come over?" The old leader's voice carried a touch of warmth.

"I've booked my flight, I'll come to see you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright! Just you coming is enough, don't you dare bring anything!"

Putting down the phone, Xiao Jingyu could not help but let out a long sigh.

Nowadays in Hanzhou, his situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

The room for development had been squeezed until there was almost nothing left.

It seemed it was time to plan a new way out for himself.
