Chapter 415: A Smiling Tiger Through and Through!

"I still haven't come back to my senses; I never expected we would actually secure the Hanxing Group project. County Magistrate Tang, you've worked hard; this project is your greatest achievement."

Han Guangyao rolled down the car window, took a cigarette case from his briefcase, and was just about to take out a cigarette.

Tang Ye hurriedly took a pack of cigarettes from his own bag, tapped one out, and handed it to Han Guangyao, "Secretary Han, smoke mine."

Han Guangyao was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily and took the cigarette from Tang Ye's hand.

Tang Ye lit it for Han Guangyao, then said with a smile, "I'll have one with you!"

Han Guangyao took a few slow puffs and said softly, "I'm particularly curious now, what is Shen Mingcheng's mood like at this moment?"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Angry, shocked, regretful."

Han Guangyao's expression at this moment carried the smugness of a successful counterattack.

"He didn't lose unjustly. I heard a DeputyFactoryDirector died at the Dongfeng Factory, and it was suppressed by the city. Although the problems at the Dongfeng Factory are solved now, the higher-ups have developed doubts about Shen Mingcheng's governing ability. Mayor Chaoyang expressed high satisfaction with how you handled the environmental construction site accident."

Tang Ye hurriedly said modestly, "That accident was the result of everyone's joint efforts, especially Secretary Cheng Lin. She used her connections to contact the provincial blood center and found blood bags in the shortest possible time; otherwise, the matter could not have been resolved so easily."

Han Guangyao nodded slightly, "Comrade Cheng Lin played a key role in securing the National Level Project and the Hanxing Group project this time; her contribution is indelible."

"Secretary Han, I'll give Secretary Cheng a call. Secretary Cheng was deeply involved, and I'd like to tell her this good news," Tang Ye said, taking the opportunity.

"Hmm, go ahead and give her a call."

Han Guangyao began to smoke, puffing away.

When a person is secreting dopamine frantically and has experienced extreme pleasure, smoking a cigarette can calm their mood.

It's like a post-fruit-washing cigarette—it feels absolutely peak!

Tang Ye then dialed Cheng Lin's number and deliberately kept her in suspense: "Secretary Cheng, there is already a result regarding the Hanxing Group project."

Cheng Lin's tone was somewhat expectant, "How is the result?"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "It's good news! The new factory for the cooperation between Hanxing Group and Dazong has been confirmed to be built in Suiyuan County, with a total investment expected to be 10 billion, a construction area of 1.3 million square meters, and a planned annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles. This will be the project with the largest investment volume and the strongest driving force in the industrial history of Hanzhou."

Cheng Lin stood up directly from her seat and said excitedly, "The Hanxing Group project was also secured. That's great!"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "All of this is inseparable from your efforts and support. I am with Secretary Han now, and we are returning to Suiyuan. Secretary Han asked me to call you and tell you this good news."

Han Guangyao's expression froze slightly, then he nodded slightly, secretly thinking that Tang Ye really knows how to conduct himself.

In an invisible way, he had drawn the relationship between himself and Cheng Lin closer.

Cheng Lin said with a smile, "Secretary Han has worked hard. Secretary Han has put a lot of effort into this project. Without the support of the Class Monitor, Suiyuan could not accomplish great things."

Hearing Cheng Lin's flattery coming from the phone, a smile appeared on Han Guangyao's face once again.

Tang Ye thought to himself, I didn't expect Sister Lin's butt-kissing skills to be so top-notch too!

……

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Cheng Lin immediately dialed Director Gao's private line, her tone carrying sincere gratitude:

"Uncle Gao, we just received news that the Hanxing new factory project is settling in Suiyuan; it is all thanks to your strong support."

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone from Director Gao: "This is the optimal decision based on comprehensive considerations of all aspects. The momentum of Suiyuan's development is obvious to all in Hanzhou, especially that gold-lettered signboard of the National Level Environmental Protection Industrial Demonstration Base, which has added quite a bit of competitiveness for you."

Cheng Lin agreed with a smile: "In the future, Suiyuan's development will still need your guidance and support."

Director Gao's tone was gentle but weighty: "The province is currently paying close attention to Suiyuan's development and will coordinate the introduction of high-quality resources later. I will notify you as soon as there are the latest developments. Your current work approach is very clear. As the Party Committee Deputy Secretary, you must grasp both Party building and deeply participate in economic work, achieving 'Party building leadership with the left hand, government work and practical action with the right hand'; only then can you comprehensively improve your governance ability."

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Gao!" Cheng Lin expressed her gratitude solemnly once again.

After Cheng Lin hung up the phone, Director Gao put down the receiver, a meaningful smile rising at the corners of his mouth.

He knew clearly in his heart: if Suiyuan had not shown a comprehensive advantage in industrial foundation, policy support, and team execution during the project bidding, it would have been difficult to facilitate this matter solely through external assistance.

The settlement of this project was, in essence, an opportunity won by Suiyuan through its own strength.

Cheng Lin took a deep breath and then called her father.

The time she bought the four treasures of the study and gave them to her father was precisely because she wanted to ask her father to request Director Gao to care about the Suiyuan project.

She didn't expect that there was a coincidence hidden within it.

That set of four treasures of the study happened to be what Director Gao had his eye on; by a stroke of luck, it formed a good connection and also became an important factor in Director Gao's special attention to Suiyuan.

In the final analysis, Tang Ye's eye for things played a certain factor.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Director Gao had the same level of aesthetic taste.

The subsequent matters would not have fallen into place so naturally.

……

After Shen Mingcheng returned to his office, he immediately dialed Chen Lan's phone!

"Chen Lan, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! If your uncle-in-law wasn't going to help me, why did he have to play tricks behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan frowned, her tone revealing confusion: "What on earth is going on? Make yourself clear!"

Shen Mingcheng could no longer suppress his anger, slamming the table and roaring: "Since I came to Hanzhou, I have always been polite to Du Chengfeng, visiting his home every few days. But look at him; not only did he not help me sort out the official relationships in Tianling County, he even secretly instigated Tang Ye to snatch away the Hanxing Group's new factory project!"

Chen Lan was greatly shocked.

She knew clearly that Shen Mingcheng had been working on getting the Hanxing new factory to settle in Tianling County.

It actually failed?

"Although my uncle-in-law has a cold personality, he wouldn't plot against people behind their backs, would he? Besides, with his influence, how could he decide the project's ownership? Didn't you say the provincial connections were all taken care of?"

Her tone was full of surprise.

Shen Mingcheng sneered.

"I strongly suspect that the problem at the Dongfeng Factory was something he deliberately poked at, specifically to trip me up at the critical moment when the project was being finalized! And that Tang Ye, he is a smiling tiger through and through; every time he says Suiyuan County is just there to accompany the run, but in secret, he plays the pig to eat the tiger!"

He paused, his voice full of resentment, "Losing the project is a pity, but being stabbed in the back by a relative is the most painful feeling."

A bitter look appeared at the corners of Chen Lan's mouth: "Is there any way to remedy it?"

Shen Mingcheng shook his head helplessly: "I just checked with Song Weiping; the project documents will be issued immediately."

"My uncle-in-law has gone too far!" Chen Lan lowered her voice, "I must tell Mom about this and have my eldest uncle criticize him properly!"

A cold glint flashed in Shen Mingcheng's eyes, his tone carrying disdain: "What use could your mother's words have? Could she possibly change a settled fact?"

After saying this, he angrily hung up the phone.

He was extremely regretful now.

But, he also saw things clearly.

Du Chengfeng simply did not take him or the Xiao Family seriously at all!
