Chapter 420: Suiyuan Makes the News Broadcast!

After the meeting concluded, Tang Ye led the inspection delegation to the Industrial Park.

Yang Yuan was no stranger to this land.

When he last visited the Industrial Park, the air was still thick with the pungent odor of chemical exhaust, the factory area was billowing with smoke and dust, and even breathing felt gritty.

Yet, the scene outside the car window at this moment left him unable to hide his astonishment.

The glass curtain walls of the standardized factory buildings reflected the blue sky, the newly paved asphalt roads were free of dust, the crape myrtles in the green belts were in full bloom, and there was even a fresh scent of grass and trees in the air.

"County Magistrate Gao," Yang Yuan said, looking out the window with deep emotion, "to be honest, we had some doubts about Suiyuan before, but the changes are truly immense; the Industrial Park has been reborn."

A Guangdong businessman speaking in Cantonese-accented Mandarin nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I didn't expect the Suiyuan Industrial Park to be so advanced. We will definitely study this carefully when we go back to see if we should open a new factory here."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "We open our doors to all compliant enterprises; as long as they meet our investment requirements, we will certainly provide the best policy support."

In Tang Ye's view, this Guangdong boss needed to hurry up and sign up.

After the unveiling ceremony, once reports from central and provincial media spread, Suiyuan would naturally not lack high-quality projects.

After seeing off the inspection delegation, Tang Ye immediately coordinated the details of the unveiling ceremony with the Municipal Reception Office.

Although the city would oversee the overall situation, many aspects such as venue management and process coordination still required the Suiyuan side to arrange a large number of personnel to execute and assist.

……

On the morning of September 28th, colorful flags stood like a forest in front of the Suiyuan Industrial Park Management Committee.

Over a dozen black sedans were lined up neatly along the main road.

Secretary Zhou Chengwu, wearing a beaming smile, walked quickly to greet the middle-aged man at the head of the motorcade: "Director Guo, welcome, welcome!"

Director Guo shook hands with Zhou Chengwu, then turned to smile at Provincial Governor Fu beside him: "Hanzhou has really put on quite a show."

"It must be grand!" Fu Yagang said with pride, "This is a window to showcase the results of our province's environmental protection reforms."

Director Guo nodded and shook hands with the leaders of the Hanzhou Municipal Committee one by one.

Zhou Chengwu stood by and made introductions one by one.

As the group stepped into the ceremony venue, the host, Xie Yina, dressed in a champagne-colored gown, was already in position.

Tang Ye was no stranger to her.

Previously, when Jiang Jing hosted Qiao Wansen, they had crossed paths at the dinner banquet.

"Respected leaders and guests," Xie Yina's voice carried through the speakers across the entire venue, "Half a year ago, the Suiyuan Industrial Park was still wavering at the crossroads of 'clearing out polluting enterprises' and 'retaining industrial capacity.'

With the support of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, the Municipal Party Committee, and the Municipal Government, the park took a crucial step.

We did not resort to a one-size-fits-all clearance, but instead helped enterprises upgrade their environmental protection.

Today, this green park, reborn from the ashes, has been recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission. Now, let us invite Secretary Zhou Chengwu to deliver a speech with warm applause!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Zhou Chengwu walked onto the podium.

He did not look at his notes, his gaze sweeping over the guests below: "I thank Director Guo and Provincial Governor Fu for gracing us with their presence, I thank my colleagues from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and I must thank every comrade who has silently dedicated themselves to the park's reform! Since taking office, I have always been concerned about the development of Suiyuan—this place once wrote a chapter of industrial glory, and today it has created a green miracle. Having received this national-level title, we must hold ourselves to the highest standards..."

Tang Ye stood below the stage, his heart, which had been hanging for so long, finally settled.

From a heavily polluted disaster area to a demonstration base, the transformation of this land was being broadcast to the whole country through the lens at this very moment.

Next was the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, Director Guo, Provincial Governor Fu, and Zhou Chengwu cut the red silk.

Staff members hurriedly pulled down the plaque that had been covered by a red cloth.

The words "National-level Green Industrial Demonstration Base" engraved on the golden bronze plaque shone brilliantly.

Tang Ye felt a weight on his shoulder; he subconsciously looked to his right, where Han Guangyao was smiling and nodding at him with satisfaction.

Tang Ye hurriedly squeezed out a smile and clapped his hands vigorously, looking very joyful.

Even though, on this occasion, he did not yet have the strength to stand on the stage and enjoy the joy of the harvest.

But as an extra, he had to show his value and presence at this moment.

……

At eight o'clock that evening, the County Party Committee conference room was silent.

The CCTV logo flickered on the large screen.

"Didn't they say Suiyuan would be on the CCTV News Broadcast tonight? How long has it been and it's still not on?" someone whispered, unable to contain themselves.

"Are you stupid? The first ten minutes are always the schedules of national leaders; the domestic news comes after that."

The ten-minute countdown was spent in anxiety.

Suddenly, someone whispered: "It's on, it's on!"

"Shh—"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the news anchor, and the subtitles related to Suiyuan appeared prominently at the bottom of the screen:

"According to this station, the National-level Green Industrial Demonstration Base located in Suiyuan County was successfully unveiled yesterday. In recent years, Suiyuan has embarked on a brand-new path in industrial economic development..."

The camera switched to aerial footage of the Industrial Park, where the rows of standardized factory buildings outlined sharp lines in the twilight, with green belts embedded like emeralds among them.

"Whoa, looking at our Industrial Park from the sky, it really has quite an imposing presence!"

"Secretary Zhou looks a bit nervous in the interview."

"This is a CCTV interview; if it were me up there, my legs would probably be shaking!"

……

Zhou Chengwu was sitting in his living room at home at this moment, watching the news with a solemn expression.

He realized that when he was interviewed by CCTV, after the interview ended, he reviewed the words he had said to the reporter and found that some of his remarks were still too radical.

However, the CCTV editors had high political awareness and had deleted that part.

Overall, the content of his interview was quite commendable.

His wife placed her hand on Zhou Chengwu's wrist; Zhou Chengwu looked toward his wife and gently patted the back of her hand.

"Why are you crying?"

"After waiting for so many years, I've finally waited for it; you're on the CCTV news."

Zhou Chengwu helped his wife wipe away her tears and gently pulled her into his embrace, "This is only the beginning!"

After the news ended, Zhou Chengwu sat at his desk and took out the green industry materials.

He wrote the character 'Tang' in the top right corner of the materials and then drew a circle around it.

He placed these materials into the drawer of his bookcase.

Zhou Chengwu had not expected that this material from Tang Ye would resolve his predicament into nothingness.

There were quite a few doubts about Zhou Chengwu from the provincial level.

Some people pointedly remarked that in Hanzhou, he only knew how to engage in political struggles, but had caused enormous damage to the economic ecology.

Now.

With the transformation case of the Suiyuan Industrial Park.

Those who spoke discouraging words can shut up now!

Tang Ye returned to his residence and had just prepared to take a shower when the doorbell rang.

Tang Ye leaned toward the peephole to look outside and discovered that it was the neighbor from next door standing at the door.

He hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

The woman had a smile on her face and was carrying a bag in her hand, "Thank you for your help yesterday; this fruit is for you."

Tang Ye politely declined, "No need to be so polite, you keep it for yourself to eat!"

The woman saw the fruit and placed it directly at the doorway, her hands behind her back, "Refusing someone's kindness isn't very gentlemanly, you know!"

Tang Ye thought for a moment, "What is your name?"

The woman couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You're finally curious about what I'm called. My name is Huang Ling. And you?"

"My name is Tang Ye!" Tang Ye said with a smile, "Thank you for the fruit!"

Huang Ling backed toward her room with her hands behind her back, her lower body moving inside the room, and she extended her right hand to wave goodbye to Tang Ye.

After the door closed, Tang Ye thought for a moment and still carried the fruit back into his room.

Tang Ye sat on the sofa, stared at the fruit for a while, and dialed Wan Ming's phone number.

"Old Wan, do you like eating fruit?"

Wan Ming said with a smile, "It depends on what kind of fruit? I prefer bananas, I don't like durian."

Tang Ye teased, "If the fruit was poisoned, would you eat it!"

Wan Ming was so shocked he jumped up from the sofa, his face full of exclamation marks!
