Chapter 440: When in Doubt, Ask Mount Tai!

Tang Ye took the initiative to brew a cup of tea for Wu Yang: "Old Wu, you haven't been running to my office little lately!"

Wu Yang was slightly startled, then laughed sheepishly: "What, do you think I'm disturbing your work?"

"How could that be," Tang Ye waved his hand, "I couldn't welcome you enough."

Wu Yang picked up the teacup and looked at him with a smile: "Is the Industrial Park going to have personnel adjustments?"

"That's right," Tang Ye nodded, "The Industrial Park is being upgraded to a National Demonstration Base. There are a thousand tasks to attend to, and we are currently short-handed, so we must expand the staff. There are also some cadres who are not up to key positions and must be adjusted down."

Wu Yang suddenly looked serious: "County Magistrate Tang, I came here today for this matter. My cousin has worked in the township for five years and is currently a Staff Member; he wants to transfer into the Industrial Park Management Committee to gain experience."

Tang Ye stroked his chin and pondered: "Does he have a resume?"

Wu Yang hurriedly took the materials out of his briefcase: "I brought it!"

Tang Ye took it and flipped through it for a moment: "Graduated from a prestigious university, the qualifications are good, and there is potential. However, there are too many people who want to enter the Management Committee. Key positions must undergo open selection; I cannot make any guarantees."

Seeing Tang Ye accept the materials, Wu Yang felt relieved: "Don't be troubled, I will have him prepare well for the exam."

After speaking, he took an envelope out of his briefcase, placed it on the sofa, and stood up to leave.

Tang Ye had anticipated this; he grabbed his arm and said in a serious tone: "Old Wu, what are you doing?"

Wu Yang's face was full of smiles: "County Magistrate Tang, don't ask too much, just accept it."

"Take it back immediately!" Tang Ye said sternly, "Otherwise, I will send it to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Wu Yang froze and said aggrievedly: "What's the big deal? Why use the Discipline Inspection Commission to scare people?"

Tang Ye stuffed the envelope back into his bag and his tone softened: "We are colleagues; doing this makes us strangers."

Wu Yang smiled helplessly: "Fine, I won't make it difficult for you."

Tang Ye patted his shoulder: "Rest assured, I have kept your cousin's matter in mind."

After Wu Yang left, Tang Ye took a list out of his drawer.

After Suiyuan secured the National Demonstration Base, the Management Committee was about to add new positions.

These public institution positions had become highly sought after.

Some people recommended themselves, while others used connections to submit resumes.

As the leader in charge, his attitude was crucial.

Tang Ye would ensure objectivity and fairness.

If it were anyone else, they would have long since used the power as a bargaining chip to trade for money and resources.

Tang Ye picked up a red pen and marked numbers on the list: 1 was Han Guangyao's person, 2 was Gao Hong's person, 3 was Cheng Lin's person, 4 was Kang Jiayi's person, 5 was Nie Kai's person... only 13 were his own people, and the rest were marked with the initials of their names.

He calculated that the small Industrial Park had actually become a gladiatorial arena for the Standing Committee Members.

In a society based on human relationships, in order to snatch positions, some people even went as far as to pull strings at the provincial level.

Tang Ye was a top student, but he found that there was no formula to apply to the problem before him.

Involving human relationships and worldly wisdom, trying to satisfy everyone was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

……

In the evening, Tang Ye drove to Yunhu Courtyard.

After the meal, Tang Ye asked Du Chengfeng for advice on the personnel arrangements for the Industrial Park.

Tang Ye mocked himself: "Dad, Suiyuan Industrial Park is about to add positions. Looking at that list now, I inexplicably feel troubled. I originally planned to arrange some people in it, but now I find that wanting to satisfy everyone is truly too difficult."

"Using the Industrial Park as a reservoir to cultivate influence is a good idea," Du Chengfeng nodded, "but you must use technique; you must achieve a balance of 'I have you in me, and you have me in you.' Did you bring the list?"

Tang Ye hurriedly handed it over, "I brought it, please take a look."

Seeing that the list was marked meticulously and clearly, Du Chengfeng nodded slightly.

He picked up a red pen, pondered for a moment, and then put it down.

Afterwards, he slowly stood up and placed a sheet of white paper in front of Tang Ye.

"Actually, solving this problem is not difficult. If I give you a blank sheet of paper, you can write whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about what was written on the previous sheet."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, "You mean, start a new stove?"

"Other cities have precedents you can learn from," Du Chengfeng said, "Use the Industrial Park as the main body to register a company, let it lead investment attraction, industrial layout, and operations, in parallel with the Management Committee—the Management Committee handles government coordination, while the company handles policy implementation and industrial regulation."

Suiyuan Industrial Park has four phases of projects coming up; planning and construction, enterprise negotiations, and later maintenance all require a commercial entity. If the Management Committee lacks the ability, then weaken its interference; the new company is the core of getting things done. If you control the company's personnel arrangements well, you can break the deadlock."

Tang Ye suddenly saw the light, "Dad, you really are a word that wakes the dreamer!"

Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old!

Everyone else's direct subordinates were all trapped in the old list, while he only needed to arrange a few of his own people, and the newly registered company with a County Government background was the real stage to display his ambitions.

Du Chengfeng climbed up step by step in Tianling; it wasn't luck he relied on.

Tang Ye suddenly had a brand-new view of this big shot of his.

From now on...

When in doubt, ask Mount Tai...

……

Returning to the Xiyue Garden apartment, Du Xi had just drawn the curtains and was holding her change of clothes, preparing to go into the bathroom to wash up.

At this moment, Tang Ye unexpectedly received a call from Qiao Wansen.

"Little Tang, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

"Not bad lately, but not as good as you, President Qiao! President Qiao, calling so late, do you have something to instruct?"

"I want to talk to you about a collaboration. I wonder if you have time now?"

"Of course I have time." Tang Ye tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, "You send me the address, and I'll come find you right now."

"Alright, then I shall await your arrival!"

"President Qiao, you are truly too polite."

He hung up Qiao Wansen's call.

Tang Ye swung his fist fiercely toward the pitch-black window outside.

Previously, in order to build a good relationship with Qiao Wansen, he had used every ounce of his strength to drink with him.

Now, it had finally paid off.

That is how it is in officialdom; if you want to achieve any goal, you must lay the groundwork in advance.

Sometimes, seeds sown inadvertently suddenly bloom and bear fruit after a period of time.

Of course, it is mainly because the situation in Suiyuan is different now; before, they were begging enterprises to move in, but now with the state's backing, the confidence is different.

Du Xi knew Tang Ye was going out and frowned in complaint: "It's this late, do you still have to go out?"

Tang Ye walked over and kissed her forehead: "Qiao Wansen is a powerful merchant; if he can invest in Suiyuan, this year's investment promotion task will be secure."

"Work is important! When will you be back?"

"That's not clear! It might be soon, or it might be midnight. Don't wait up for me. Go to sleep early!"

Du Xi gazed at Tang Ye with deep affection and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "How about you make it quick and write one page of calligraphy before you go?"

"That has me stumped," Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself and said confidently, "My writing emphasizes steadiness. One page takes at least half an hour; if I rush, I can't write well."
