Chapter 381: What exactly is his background?

Walking out of the conference room, Xiang Qiang sat into his Mercedes-Benz with a gloomy face, his heart surging with rage!

"This newly arrived Deputy County Magistrate is simply arrogant to the extreme. What exactly is his background?"

Cao Jin sat to the side and said in a lowered voice, "He is the son-in-law of Municipal Party Secretary-General Du Chengfeng and once served as the secretary to Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Jing. Being in such an important position at such a young age, it is inevitable that he would be a bit proud and arrogant."

Xiang Qiang frowned and said, "If we push forward with the environmental rectification according to his requirements, won't our listing plan be delayed?"

Cao Jin sighed helplessly, "Who is to say it won't? We suppressed the poisoning data from Fugu Village in the first place just to cope with the quiet period before the listing, and as a result, Liao Guosheng was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation because of this matter. This new class monitor is not very easy to talk to!"

A cold glint flashed in the depths of Xiang Qiang's eyes, and he directly took out his phone and dialed Xiao Jingyu's number.

"Director Jingyu, there is a matter I must report to you. Guangtai Energy is currently at a critical stage of its Hong Kong listing. The Suiyuan County Government is not only failing to cooperate but is actually making things difficult at every turn, forcing us to carry out all kinds of rectifications. When we relocated to Suiyuan back then, you promised many convenient conditions. Now that you have been transferred away from Hanzhou, please be sure to put in a word for us."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyu frowned, "It has taken Hanzhou so many years to produce one quasi-listed enterprise. I will communicate with Secretary Zhou in a moment and will definitely help you solve the problem."

"Then many thanks to you. By the way, when is it convenient for you? I would like to make a special trip to Qiongjin to visit you and report on our work in detail."

"Any time this weekend is fine." Xiao Jingyu laughed calmly on the phone.

After hanging up on Xiang Qiang, Xiao Jingyu immediately dialed Zhou Chengwu's number: "Secretary Chengwu, there is a situation I must bring to your attention. Guangtai Energy in Suiyuan is a key enterprise of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and is currently preparing for a listing. However, the Suiyuan County Government is not only failing to create a good policy environment but is also ordering a production halt in the name of rectification. I ask that you step in to coordinate this matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengwu frowned slightly, "I have heard a little about the Guangtai matter. I will touch base with Han Guangyao later. Rest assured, I will handle it well."

And Han Guangyao had been waiting for this call for a long time.

He knew clearly that moving Guangtai would inevitably touch the chain of interests.

"Secretary Zhou, I was just about to report the situation regarding Guangtai to you," Han Guangyao said in a deep voice. "When Cheng Lin and Comrade Tang Ye conducted a secret inspection of the industrial park's pollution, they discovered that Guangtai had long been negligent regarding environmental issues, leading to the poisoning of thirty children, several of whom have suffered permanent neurological damage. In order to list, they not only concealed the truth, but the grassroots government also acted as a protective umbrella for them. After the matter was exposed, their attitude was atrocious; not only did they refuse to pay medical expenses, but they actually wanted to sue the villagers."

Zhou Chengwu gasped, "It is actually this serious! Comrade Guangyao, rest assured, I sent you to Suiyuan precisely to root out these chaotic phenomena. Even if Guangtai is a quasi-listed enterprise, if they have violated the law, I support you in investigating it to the end."

Han Guangyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had bet correctly.

Previously, Tang Ye had tactfully analyzed Zhou Chengwu's governing style.

The Municipal Party Secretary had always adhered to principles and would inevitably support governance according to the law.

Now that Guangtai wanted to use Xiao Jingyu to apply pressure, it had backfired instead!

Xiao Jingyu had already been transferred to the provincial level, yet he was still attempting to interfere in Hanzhou's affairs; this act violated a taboo.

……

The next day, Tang Ye led a team to supervise Guangtai, but as Tang Ye had expected, Guangtai did not take it seriously.

It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep.

Tang Ye realized that dealing with the Guangtai issue could not be rushed; he needed to find an entry point.

He was still too impatient, too eager to achieve results, and had forgotten the principle that haste makes waste!

……

On the weekend, Tang Ye drove to Yunhu Courtyard.

Although they were already married, Du Xi still hoped to run back to her maiden home, mainly because her mother-in-law Xiao Qin's work was relatively relaxed, unlike Qin Lan who still had to go on business trips occasionally.

Tang Ye opened the door with his key and heard movement in the kitchen. He walked over on tiptoe and saw Du Xi standing on a stool, intending to take a new set of tableware from a high cabinet, so he quickly walked over in two or three steps.

Du Xi suddenly felt a warmth at her waist, and a large hand reached over from above her head, easily taking the tableware down.

Tang Ye then lifted Du Xi down from the stool, "Be careful not to fall."

Du Xi's ear tips turned red like dew-kissed crimson pearl grass, and even her neck shrank slightly.

Feeling the warm breath coming from her ear, her heart trembled suddenly, and only then did she dare to look up at Tang Ye's smiling eyes.

"I've put you down! Stand steady."

"You almost screamed. Why do you walk without making a sound?"

After Du Xi stood steady, she helped Tang Ye affectionately straighten his collar and complained softly.

"I wanted to give you a surprise." Tang Ye suddenly frowned and looked at the clay pot on the stove, "Is this Chinese medicine boiling? Is Dad or Mom feeling unwell?"

Du Xi covered her mouth and laughed, "This is for you to drink. Knowing you've been working hard, I specially prepared this tonic for you. The taste is a bit unpleasant, but the prescription was given by an old Chinese doctor; it guarantees you'll be vigorous and full of energy after drinking it."

Tang Ye laughed dumbly, "Fine, for the sake of my wife being so thoughtful, I'll pinch my nose and drink it even if it's arsenic."

Tang Ye deliberately put on a difficult expression, which made Du Xi raise her hand and lightly punch his chest.

She suddenly reached out to hook his neck, and as her center of gravity tilted, she nearly knocked over the water basin nearby.

The clear water formed a bead curtain at the edge of the vat, reflecting her reddened ear tips even more brightly.

Tang Ye subconsciously hugged her waist, his palm touching the fine, soft sweater at her waist, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.

Tang Ye looked behind him cautiously, "It seems I forgot to close the front door."

Du Xi hung on him, her burning cheeks buried in the hollow of his shoulder.

"My mom went out, she'll probably be back in a while. My dad, if nothing unexpected happens, must be in a meeting again."

"Haven't seen you in a few days, wife, you've become even bolder."

"Before it was at your house, now it's at my house, I'm definitely more unscrupulous!"

Tang Ye was left between laughter and tears at his wife's shy appearance.

He held Du Xi without putting her down, counting the fine downy hair on the back of her neck, and the soft body in his arms gradually relaxed.

"The chicken soup has Cherokee rose fruit, Gordon euryale seed, and calcined dragon bone in it." Tang Ye identified the medicinal ingredients based on the smell and smiled as he discussed with Du Xi, "How about we study calligraphy after drinking the soup?"

"……"

The sound of a key turning in the lock came from the doorway, and Tang Ye and Du Xi hurriedly separated.

Xiao Qin pushed the door open carrying a vegetable basket and saw at a glance the reddened ear tips of the two as they came out of the kitchen.

It seemed that she had returned at the wrong time.

Du Chengfeng did not work overtime today, so after dinner, he pulled Tang Ye into the study to chat about the recent situation in the Hanzhou officialdom.

From his father-in-law, Tang Ye learned that the disposal plan for Guangtai had sparked controversy in the Municipal Party Standing Committee.

Some leaders believed that as a quasi-listed enterprise, the city had invested a large amount of resources in the early stages, and now that it was at the final sprint stage, there might be variables if the environmental issues were investigated too deeply.

But Tang Ye was clear that Zhou Chengwu's attitude was already explicit.

The more obstacles there were, the more deeply and thoroughly the problem had to be investigated.

The night was deep and quiet, and the moonlight spilled through the screen window onto the edge of the bed.

Du Xi curled up at Tang Ye's side, drawing circles on his forearm with her fingertips, listening to him speak in a low voice about the predicament of the Suiyuan Industrial Park.

"The waters of the industrial park are deeper than imagined," she suddenly spoke up. "If you want to thoroughly get to the bottom of it, you have to plant your own people into the Management Committee. Nie Kai's influence is deeply rooted; going head-to-head openly is not the way."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead lightly: "That is exactly my intention! The Management Committee is currently filled with Nie Kai's direct subordinates; if we can plant reliable personnel, we can tear open a gap. Wife, you have improved quite a bit; you could be a military advisor!"

"How will you thank me?" Du Xi tilted her face up, her eyelashes casting fine shadows beneath her eyes.

"I'll return at least eight hundred million to you tonight." Tang Ye laughed and pulled her into his embrace.

"It seems the chicken soup tonight was effective?" Her fingertips poked his chest. "I'll continue to brew it for you when you come back next time."
