Chapter 397: Entering the Standing Committee!

The Municipal Organization Department's inspection team arrived at Suiyuan County.

The team leader closed the door and spoke with County Party Secretary Han Guangyao alone for half an hour.

Afterward, people arrived at the reception venue one after another, and the inspection interviews officially began.

Two other people were nominated alongside Tang Ye this time, one of whom was a Deputy Division Level official from the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.

As soon as the news leaked, rumors buzzed around like flies in a dump.

Some said Tang Ye's position as a Standing Committee Member was likely in jeopardy, and that he would nine times out of ten be edged out by the Deputy Division Level official from the city.

It was not until July 15th that the appointment document was officially issued.

—Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye is appointed as Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Magistrate.

Staring at the official document with the red header, Tang Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, he had actually cared very much about this adjustment in his heart.

There were dozens of Deputy Division Level officials in Suiyuan County; only by entering the Standing Committee could one be considered to have touched the waist of the ladder of power.

Moreover, this was a very important step for Tang Ye's career.

At the same administrative level, the "power content" is not the same.

It is just like in a fantasy novel, where everyone is at the early stage of the Golden Core, but some people can challenge those at higher levels!

Furthermore!

The expectations for Tang Ye were too high, and he had been pushed to the edge of a cliff; if he failed to be selected, he would become a laughingstock.

Tang Ye was a person who cared very much about his reputation!

The mobile phone on his desk rang incessantly, with both congratulatory calls and greetings from those taking the opportunity to build a relationship.

When eating lunch, Tang Ye had just sat down for a short while.

Cheng Lin carried her meal tray and sat down opposite Tang Ye.

"Congratulations, you've entered the Standing Committee so quickly," Cheng Lin said softly.

"That is only because you have always supported me, Sister," Tang Ye said with a smile.

Cheng Lin smiled, "My support alone is not enough; it is because you are excellent enough. Secretary Han and County Magistrate Gao both highly approve of your recent performance. You must not let the expectations of the 'Class Monitor' and his deputy down."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "In the future, I will continue to keep my pace highly consistent with yours, Sister."

Cheng Lin smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Tang Ye knew that for him to be promoted to a Standing Committee Member, Cheng Lin had done a great deal of work behind the scenes.

Regarding communication at the municipal level, especially with the Municipal Organization Department coming to inspect, Cheng Lin had secretly helped Tang Ye and done sufficient work.

Cheng Lin and he had formed a tacit understanding.

They almost never talked about personal feelings; it was more like a revolutionary friendship between colleagues.

His phone vibrated; Cheng Lin glanced at the message, and a look of difficulty appeared on her face, "The deaf-mute school in the county hopes the government can provide support. Do you have any resources on your end?"

Cheng Lin knew that Tang Ye was in charge of the Industrial Park and knew many enterprises; asking enterprises for charity was a common approach.

"I will think of a way." Since Cheng Lin had spoken, Tang Ye naturally could not refuse.

"Mm, also, I will be heading to the provincial level recently. Prepare yourself to go with me."

"Understood." Tang Ye guessed it must be for the Hanxing Group project.

This project had been assigned to Cheng Lin by Han Guangyao to be responsible for.

However, because the chances were slim, Han Guangyao did not have high expectations.

Now, in order to compete for this project, several counties and districts could be said to be showing off their unique skills.

The one with the most advantages was Tianling County.

Not long ago, Shen Mingcheng used his connections to invite an investigation team from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to visit Tianling for inspection; it was said that the reception there was exceptionally good.

Tang Ye still felt a bit aggrieved, because the fact that Tianling County could now occupy a prominent position among the many counties and districts of Hanzhou was inseparable from the efforts of his father-in-law, Du Chengfeng.

Now he felt like someone was picking the fruit of his labor.

On July 20th, the Suiyuan County Party Committee held an enlarged meeting to analyze the economic situation of the city for the second quarter. The meeting was arranged for an entire day; the morning was for the leaders' mobilization speeches, and the afternoon was for group discussions.

This meeting was held mainly because the Hanzhou Municipal Committee had held an emergency work meeting a few days prior.

Suiyuan County's ranking in the city's total economic volume had slipped by one place this year, and there was a trend of the gap widening between its GDP and other indicators compared to other counties and districts.

Although the Municipal Committee leaders knew of Suiyuan's current predicament, Secretary Zhou sought out Han Guangyao after the meeting.

On one hand, he encouraged Han Guangyao not to be discouraged; on the other hand, he reminded Han Guangyao to pay attention to economic development while strictly grasping the work style of Party members.

Han Guangyao realized the severity of the problem; if he did not change the current economic downturn, his governing ability would certainly be questioned by the Municipal Committee and Municipal Government.

Han Guangyao spoke for more than an hour during the mobilization meeting, "Seeing these data, County Magistrate Gao Hong and I have studied them many times; it can be said that we have been unable to sleep at night and are burning with anxiety. Comrades, sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you retreat. Today, I have invited all of you here to calm down and thoroughly analyze the economic situation of our county..."

Tang Ye sat on the rostrum; although he was sitting in the back row, he could see the sea of heads below.

The officialdom is a typical pyramid structure; there are many people at the bottom, and the higher one goes, the fewer the number of people.

Suiyuan County is a populous county with a population of over 300,000. There are 13 Standing Committee Members in the County Party Committee, and every Deputy Division Level official has climbed up by stepping on the shoulders of countless others.

After Han Guangyao finished the mobilization, Gao Hong analyzed the economic situation of the first half of the year in detail.

His meaning was clear: they must recover from the disadvantage in the second half of the year and strive to fight a comeback battle.

After the meeting adjourned at noon, Gao Hong called Tang Ye to his office to ask about the progress of the Hanxing Group project.

Gao Hong was very concerned about the Hanxing Group, because if he could get the Hanxing Group to settle in Suiyuan, then the investment attraction task for the second half of the year would be successfully completed.

Moreover, this project would become an explosive point for Hanzhou's economic development within five to ten years.

Gao Hong said softly to Tang Ye, "Mayor Jiang has been following up on the Hanxing Group project. He is your old leader; you should interact with him more and probe the situation. Suiyuan still has certain advantages. If we can pull this project to Suiyuan, then the industry will be completely revitalized."

Tang Ye said with difficulty, "I heard that Tianling County is also in contact with this project."

A complex look appeared in Gao Hong's eyes, "Secretary Han was very emotional at the meeting today; in fact, it was because Shen Mingcheng stimulated him. The two of them took office at almost the same time. Now that all aspects of work in Tianling County are being done very well and are being compared by Secretary Zhou, it is inevitable that Secretary Han feels a sense of disparity in his heart."

Tang Ye was surprised, "The situations of the two counties are different. Suiyuan is riddled with holes; as a 'firefighting captain', Secretary Han has already done quite well."

Gao Hong was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently, "It is mainly because this person, Shen Mingcheng, seems to like putting on airs. Secretary Han took the initiative to show goodwill to Shen Mingcheng, but Shen Mingcheng acted as if he didn't see it. Secretary Han reached out his hand and was ignored; the scene was extremely awkward at the time."

Tang Ye thought carefully about the arrogant nature in Shen Mingcheng's bones and realized it was highly likely he would do such a thing.

"So that's how it is; perhaps there was some misunderstanding. A normal person wouldn't have such low emotional intelligence!"

Gao Hong did not know that Tang Ye and Shen Mingcheng were related, "Shen Mingcheng is a young cadre parachuted in from the province. Having achieved success at a young age, it is inevitable that he is frivolous. However, it is said that his relationship with Guo Zhengting is not harmonious."

Tang Ye hurriedly said with a smile, "The biggest advantage of Suiyuan County is that you and Secretary Han are of one mind, and both hope to lead everyone out of this predicament."

Gao Hong was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded slightly, "That's right, we are still very united!"

Nowadays, everyone in Suiyuan from top to bottom is living a hard life, so the issue of internal conflict has been put aside for the time being.
