Chapter 373: Just Go Ahead and Do It!

~8 min read 1,494 words

"He Bin of Runsheng has been forced to jump off a building..."

"Who forced him?"

"It is said that the creditors have come knocking!"

"When it comes down to it, it's the Government that forced him..."

"The new County Party Secretary is no good..."

The Suiyuan County Committee Compound was shrouded in a stifling atmosphere.

Han Guangyao sat upright at the head of the conference table, his expression so gloomy it could almost wring out water.

The Standing Committee meeting, which had been proceeding according to plan, was completely disrupted by the news from Runsheng.

Upon hearing the report that He Bin had been driven to the rooftop by creditors and intended to commit suicide, the County Party Secretary shuddered and fell into a long silence.

If a life were truly lost, he would inevitably become a target of public criticism, branded by the common people as a cruel official who "disregards human life for the sake of political achievements."

Nie Kai watched the changes in Han Guangyao's expression with cold eyes, secretly pleased: the "debt-collection drama" orchestrated by Cao Jin last night had already taken effect.

This move could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It not only caused Tang Ye's "first battle" upon his arrival to end in failure.

It also allowed him to use public opinion pressure to make Han Guangyao pay the price for erasing Xiao Jingyu's political achievements back then.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was strange, with everyone harboring their own hidden agendas.

Cheng Lin's fingertips trembled slightly as she gripped her fountain pen; only she knew that Tang Ye had already secured the special funds for the rectification, and as long as the environmental protection equipment was installed on time, Runsheng could be brought back to life.

Just then, Nie Kai suddenly spoke up, his tone laced with skepticism: "Secretary Han, He Bin of Runsheng being forced to the rooftop by creditors to jump is no small matter. The owners of other industrial parks are already full of complaints about the environmental policies. If everyone follows suit—blocking doors before, and now jumping off buildings—the conflicts will only grow larger and larger!"

Han Guangyao suppressed the anger in his heart, his gaze sweeping toward Nie Kai like a blade: "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that just because a few owners are acting desperate, we should turn a blind eye to environmental pollution?"

Nie Kai let out a long sigh, putting on a look of helplessness: "Secretary, don't misunderstand. I'm just saying that environmental rectification can be done gradually; there's no need to be so aggressive..."

These words were like a thorn, making Han Guangyao's temples throb.

He knew that the "Suiyuan Gang" had always been insincere toward him, and now that this incident had occurred, Nie Kai and the others would certainly seize the opportunity to make trouble.

Nie Kai continued, "Leaving this matter to Tang Ye to handle, he still lacks experience. He must have failed to do the ideological work with He Bin, which is why he couldn't think straight."

If Tang Ye knew that Nie Kai was bad-mouthing him behind his back, he might just want to perform a slam dunk on his head.

At this moment, the carved wooden door creaked open, and the County Party Committee Office Director walked quickly to Han Guangyao's side, leaning down to whisper a few words.

In an instant, Han Guangyao's tense brow slowly relaxed, his expression shifting from grim to relieved: "The matter at Runsheng has been resolved. Comrade Tang Ye arrived at the scene in time, and after some persuasion, He Bin has abandoned the idea of suicide, and the creditors have dispersed."

"Tang Ye? Where did he get the ability to make the creditors back down?" Nie Kai blurted out, his tone full of disbelief.

Han Guangyao glanced at him: "When Tang Ye arrived at the factory with the Experts from the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, He Bin was standing on the roof. Not only did he secure 1.6 million in environmental rectification funds for Runsheng in just a few days, but he also promised the creditors that production would resume within a week."

Nie Kai's pupils contracted, and a stormy sea surged in his heart.

Han Guangyao's words contained hidden sharpness—applying for municipal special funds, even if he were to step in personally, would take two or three months to complete the entire approval process, yet Tang Ye had managed to get it done in just a few days.

What did this mean?

This newly arrived Deputy County Magistrate had a resource-mobilization capability that exceeded all imagination!

Cheng Lin slowly loosened her fingers gripping the fountain pen and cleared her throat to break the silence: "Secretary Han, regarding the issue at Runsheng, I suggest that the County Party Committee coordinate resources comprehensively and push forward its environmental rectification at full speed.

At the same time, we must provide full-chain guarantees for the enterprise's production and operation after it resumes—from raw material supply to order matching, we must ensure the factory restores its production capacity as soon as possible.

If we can turn Runsheng into a 'benchmark enterprise for environmental rectification,' other factories will naturally follow suit, and the development deadlock in the Industrial Park will be resolved."

Gao Hong adjusted his glasses and added: "Guiding polluting enterprises to upgrade their technology is indeed the key move to revitalize the Industrial Park. If Runsheng can show results, I support promoting this model within the park."

Han Guangyao's gaze swept across their faces in turn, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table.

It was rare for the three of them to reach such a consensus.

He pondered for a moment and nodded in approval: "In that case, let's proceed in this direction. We must make Runsheng a 'rectification sample' to inject fresh water into the stagnant pool of the Industrial Park."

Nie Kai lowered his head to drink water, his face burning.

The skepticism he had just raised toward Tang Ye seemed too deliberate.

Runsheng Craft Manufacturing Factory.

After the creditors left one after another, Tang Ye, along with He Bin and the environmental Experts, walked into the conference room.

"For the next seven days, I will eat and live at the factory. If you have any problems, come to me at any time. Time is indeed tight, but as long as we pull together, we will definitely be able to create a miracle."

The Environmental Protection Bureau Expert finished reviewing the rectification plan and spoke up: "County Magistrate Tang, the general direction of the plan is fine, but some data needs to be calibrated. May I ask which professional drafted this plan?"

Tang Ye admitted: "I did similar plans for enterprises when I was in graduate school, so I have some experience. However, this first draft is not mature enough, so please feel free to offer more suggestions."

Another Expert nodded in approval: "The framework of this plan is very solid; we only need to adjust a few key parameters, which saves at least three days of work!"

Tang Ye let out a long breath, his fingers tapping heavily on the conference table.

"In that case, let's start construction immediately. We must produce results as quickly as possible!"

After Tang Ye coordinated the rectification matters for Runsheng, he returned to the County Party Committee Compound and knocked on the door of Han Guangyao's office.

Seeing him, a look of approval appeared on Han Guangyao's face: "Sit down quickly."

Tang Ye sat on the sofa and reported to Han Guangyao: "Secretary Han, the renovation project for Runsheng has already started. Although the schedule is tight, we will race against time to push it forward and ensure it is completed as soon as possible. I plan to stay at the factory for the time being so I can coordinate issues at any time."

Han Guangyao walked to his side and placed his hand gently on his shoulder.

"I have learned about the whole process of how you handled this matter. It is fortunate that you intervened in time to prevent a tragedy. What is even more rare is that you have explored a new path for reform with your practical actions. At the Standing Committee meeting, the members of the leadership team unanimously decided to concentrate resources to fully support you."

Hearing this, the heavy burden on Tang Ye's shoulders seemed to lighten: "With your words, I have the confidence now."

He pondered slightly and continued, "Runsheng's predicament is just the tip of the iceberg. Today, when the creditors came to demand payment collectively, I suspect someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, wanting to profit from the chaos."

Han Guangyao's eyes suddenly turned cold, his tone deep.

"There are worms hiding in our ranks; I am aware of that. You just go ahead and do your work; this matter must be investigated thoroughly to give everyone justice!"
