Chapter 359: A Show of Force for Me?

"Minister Xia, I really didn't expect you to personally escort me to Suiyuan to take up my post this time; I am truly flattered!" Tang Ye's tone was full of gratitude.

Xia Hong smiled gently and said in a soft tone, "Little Tang, there is no need to be so formal. Besides escorting you to your new position, I also want to conduct an on-site inspection of the cadre team in Suiyuan County. Over the past year, personnel changes in Suiyuan County have been frequent, and Secretary Zhou is very concerned about the situation there. After I return, I still need to compile a detailed report to brief Secretary Zhou."

In 2007, the tradition of having personnel from the organization department escort cadres during transfers still continued.

Under normal circumstances, when a section chief of a municipal department is promoted to a Deputy Division Level official, the Organization Department is responsible for escorting them and handling the handover procedures;

If they are transferred to a deputy position in an important department, a Deputy Minister will personally step forward, and for key principal positions, it is even more likely that the Minister or a higher-level leader will personally escort them to their post.

For Tang Ye's new appointment this time, it would normally suffice for a Deputy Minister of the Organization Department to escort him.

But Xia Hong personally led the team; the level of importance implied behind this arrangement was self-evident.

Tang Ye hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water and said respectfully, "With the high level of attention from the various leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, I believe the problems in Suiyuan County will soon be properly resolved."

Xia Hong took the water, took a small sip, and her gaze was profound: "Solving problems ultimately depends on young and promising cadres like you; Secretary Zhou has high hopes for you."

Tang Ye smiled modestly, his attitude sincere: "I will definitely resolutely implement the instructions of my superiors; as long as it is a task assigned by the organization, I will certainly go all out to complete it."

Xia Hong looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window, a hint of appreciative smile curling at the corners of her lips: "The situation in Suiyuan County is intricate and complex; it is truly rare that you can maintain such a mindset."

Tang Ye understood in his heart the reason why Xia Hong looked at him differently.

As a cadre in the organization system, Cheng Lin was a capable general in Xia Hong's camp.

This time, Xia Hong personally went to Suiyuan, not only to send him to his post but also to stand up for and support Cheng Lin, highlighting the strength of the camp's support.

"County Party Secretary Han Guangyao is a capable general highly relied upon by Mayor of Chaoyang. His work ability is outstanding, and since his transfer to Suiyuan, he has quickly stabilized the local situation; his resolute and swift style is impressive. However, he has a strong personality and acts with boldness and decisiveness, which has also led to some criticism; some have reported that he is too arbitrary when making decisions. When you communicate with him, you must be mindful of your methods and grasp the proper sense of proportion."

"County Magistrate Gao Hong once served as Xiao Jingyu's secretary. Although Xiao Jingyu has already been transferred to the province, Gao Hong has deep roots in Suiyuan and is a key figure in maintaining the stability of the local political situation. The Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission previously conducted a comprehensive inspection of him, confirming that he is one of the few local cadres who can stand the test in both economic and personal conduct."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corners of Xia Hong's mouth.

"As for Deputy County Party Secretary Cheng Lin, I suppose I don't need to introduce her much. She is your old superior and has high praise for your work ability. I believe that with your appointment to Suiyuan County this time, you will certainly be able to cooperate with her tacitly."

Xia Hong analyzed the situation of these three core leaders of Suiyuan County to Tang Ye in meticulous detail.

In her view, Tang Ye must maintain a high degree of consistency with Cheng Lin and become a powerful arm for Cheng Lin in advancing work.

Tang Ye listened quietly, but complex thoughts surged in his heart.

His father-in-law, Du Chengfeng, had high hopes for him, wishing for him to become a core figure in gathering the chaotic situation in Suiyuan County.

Different stances were destined to bring about completely different considerations, which gave him a clearer understanding of the challenges of his future work.

Of course, the gentle attitude Xia Hong displayed during the conversation quietly narrowed the distance between them like a spring breeze, making Tang Ye sigh inwardly that this was the unique personal charm of a Deputy Department-level Official.

In terms of ideological guidance and rallying people's hearts, Xia Hong indeed possessed extraordinary wisdom and methods.

The vehicle slowly drove into the Suiyuan County Government Compound; looking from afar, several eye-catching banners came into view.

Xia Hong looked through the car window, her eyes instantly becoming sharp and serious.

She calmly took out her speech draft and, in the short time before arriving at the conference room, quickly adjusted the content.

Tang Ye thought to himself, is this move meant to give me a show of force?

Before even taking up the post, I've been slapped in the face!

Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like it could be wrung out.

Han Guangyao frowned, his gloomy face unable to hide his anger.

He never expected that such a mess would occur on such an important occasion where the Minister of the Municipal Organization Department came to announce a cadre appointment, and he felt he had lost all face.

Sitting opposite, Gao Hong was equally depressed; under Han Guangyao's suspicious gaze, he had grievances he couldn't voice.

With Xiao Jingyu transferred away from Hanzhou, Gao Hong knew deeply that his position as County Magistrate was becoming increasingly unstable; now, this storm made him fall into an awkward situation where he could not defend himself.

Xia Hong stood up calmly, picked up the microphone, her voice steady and powerful.

"Just now, Comrade Han Guangyao read the appointment and removal notice for Comrade Tang Ye. This cadre adjustment is a prudent decision made by the Municipal Party Committee based on the reality of the cadre team construction in Suiyuan County, after multiple rounds of discussion and repeated deliberation.

I believe that the decision of the Municipal Party Committee will certainly receive the support and backing of the vast number of cadres."

Her gaze swept across the room, and she continued: "Although Comrade Tang Ye is young and promising, he has already accumulated rich grassroots experience.

From Deputy Town Mayor and Town Mayor of Pinghu Town to Secretary of the Second Section of the Municipal Government and Acting Chief of the Municipal Government Supervision Office, he has demonstrated excellent administrative management ability and solid comprehensive quality throughout his work experience. His firm party spirit and strict sense of discipline are also obvious to all."

I firmly believe that Comrade Tang Ye will be able to quickly integrate into the work team of Suiyuan County and contribute his strength to promoting local development."

Changing the subject, Xia Hong's expression became serious: "Taking this opportunity, I would like to put forward a few hopes and requirements to everyone.

First, we must establish a sense of the big picture, adapt to new roles as soon as possible, and enter the best working state with a work style of unity, cooperation, humility, and pragmatism.

Second, members of the leadership team must strengthen communication and coordination, cooperate with each other, complement each other's strengths, and always promote Suiyuan County to achieve new breakthroughs and development with the big-picture view of 'a single game of chess'..."

The three words "a single game of chess" were like a heavy hammer, making Han Guangyao's face look even uglier.

He knew in his heart that the farce of blocking the door at the government entrance today would likely affect the Municipal Party Committee leaders' evaluation of him.

Although he is a Provincial Managed Cadre, the suggestions of the Municipal Organization Department Minister will still play a key role in cadre assessment.

After completing the appointment ceremony, Xia Hong led the team and left.

Tang Ye came to his office and found that the area of this office clearly exceeded the standard.

He immediately called Office Director Zhao Bin and proposed the idea of adjusting the office.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bin looked troubled: "County Magistrate Tang, the area of your office does indeed exceed the standard, but the offices of other county magistrates are of the same specifications; for a moment, it is really hard to find a suitable small office to swap for you."

Tang Ye joked with a smile: "Your office is quite suitable; how about we swap?"

Zhao Bin was stunned and hurriedly declined: "My office is messy and small; it's really not presentable. How about this, I will clear out the archives room, but it will still take some time to prepare."

Tang Ye nodded in agreement: "Good, then I'll trouble you to arrange it as soon as possible."

After Zhao Bin walked out of the office, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

This new Deputy County Magistrate is not as easy to deal with as he appears on the surface.
