Chapter 465: Fulfilling Gao Ping's Entrustment!
The next morning, Suiyuan County held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.
Leaders from the County Party Committee, the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress, the County Government, and the County CPPCC, the President of the County Court, the Chief Procurator of the Procuratorate, members of the leadership teams of the County Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Bureau, the Court, and the Procuratorate, as well as the main responsible comrades from relevant county-level units and public hospitals affiliated with the county, attended the meeting in the main hall.
Aside from routine matters, the meeting focused on one agenda item—the issue of the serious violations of law and discipline by Sun Linong, Director of the County Garden Bureau.
Han Guangyao spoke in a solemn tone, emphasizing: "Our power is bestowed by the people; we cannot act recklessly and do as we please just because we hold a little power in our hands."
"I hope Sun Linong's case can serve as a wake-up call for everyone."
"Some comrades who have made mistakes still have a chance if they pull back from the brink in time and take the initiative to admit their faults; for those comrades who know they are wrong but refuse to repent, remember: Sun Linong is your fate..."
Tang Ye sat on the stage and noticed that Han Guangyao's aura of decisive authority was fully on display at the meeting today—it was clear that Han Guangyao was gradually seizing the power of discourse in Suiyuan.
Recalling the beginning, when Zhou Chengwu arranged for him to go to Suiyuan, there was actually a consideration: was he to be used to help Han Guangyao open up the situation?
Looking at it now, he had successfully completed the phased task.
Next, Tang Ye was to begin the second phase of his mission.
To put it bluntly, he could not always play a supporting role for others.
He also had to strive for the power of discourse himself!
After the meeting ended, Tang Ye called out to Wu Yang and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Wu, are you free this afternoon?"
Wu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Standing Committee Member Tang, do you have any instructions?"
"I am going to visit a patient this afternoon; if you are free, let's go together," Tang Ye said.
Wu Yang nodded: "Alright!"
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Ye waited downstairs in his car.
Wu Yang noticed that he had not arranged for an official vehicle and thought to himself: the outside world says Tang Ye is different from other cadres.
Others rack their brains to take advantage of the public, but he does the opposite; he is indeed a maverick.
An hour later, Tang Ye parked the car in the underground parking lot of the Municipal People's Hospital and, carrying a fruit basket, went to the inpatient department with Wu Yang.
Wu Yang had previously learned from Tang Ye that the person they were visiting was the older sister of Director Gao Ping of the Municipal Finance Bureau.
When they walked into the ward, Gu Jing was peeling an apple; seeing Tang Ye arrive, she immediately stood up: "County Magistrate Tang, hello."
After saying this, she hurriedly took the fruit basket from his hand.
Gu Jing was wearing neatly tailored smoke-gray trousers and a white shirt on her upper body; her dark hair was coiled into a low bun at the back of her head, with a few stray strands swaying gently with her movements.
Beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes revealed the sharpness and composure of a career woman, with light brown eyeshadow blended to create a just-right sense of capability.
Her red lips revealed decisiveness when pressed into a straight arc, yet curved into a soft shape when she smiled.
Tang Ye looked at Mother Gu on the hospital bed with a gentle smile: "Big Sister Gao, how is your health?"
Mother Gu's eyes were full of gratitude: "I'm recovering quite well; I feel like I could even be discharged. But the doctor said to let me observe for a few more days. This time, it's all thanks to your help; the doctor has been especially attentive to me and even discovered a problem in my body."
During a full-body examination, the doctor discovered a tumor in Mother Gu's lung, which was removed in time through surgery.
Lung tumors are inherently difficult to detect early, so Mother Gu was exceptionally grateful to Tang Ye.
Tang Ye reassured her: "I have communicated with your attending physician about your condition; he said the degree of malignancy is not high, and with regular follow-up examinations later, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Gu Jing thanked him repeatedly from the side: "County Magistrate Tang, thank you so much this time."
Tang Ye waved his hand and introduced Wu Yang to Gu Jing: "President Gu, this is the Deputy County Magistrate of Suiyuan County, and the Garden Bureau is under his management. You should have heard that our county's Garden Bureau recently had some issues, but they have already been properly handled. If you have any projects in the future, you can communicate directly with County Magistrate Wu."
Gu Jing had long since learned from Gao Ping that the thugs who had previously sneaked into her home to threaten her family had been captured.
At this moment, she also understood that Tang Ye's visit was not just to visit a patient, but to introduce Wu Yang to her.
Wu Yang took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Gu Jing: "President Gu, I have already learned about your company's situation in detail from County Magistrate Tang. Your unit has solid qualifications, and we welcome you to come to Suiyuan to undertake projects. The county will have a batch of projects that need to change partner enterprises in the near future, and we will need your full support then."
Gu Jing understood the implication.
After Feng Lin was arrested, his company faced bankruptcy, and Suiyuan County was in need of new enterprises to take over the projects to avoid causing chaos.
This introduction could be considered a mutual exchange of needs.
If Gu Jing could seize the opportunity, she could take on all the greening projects in Suiyuan County and subsequently grow and strengthen her business.
For Tang Ye, it could also be considered fulfilling the secret entrustment Gao Ping had previously given him.
Gu Jing had actually originally held no expectations for the projects in Suiyuan.
But now that the greening project market in Suiyuan County had been thoroughly purified, entering at this time meant there would be even greater room for growth.
Besides, there were many other municipal projects...
The wild fire in Gu Jing's heart began to burn again.
"Please rest assured, County Magistrate Wu, we will definitely ensure the details are handled properly," she said, her eyes full of excitement.
Tang Ye said goodbye to Mother Gu: "We won't disturb your rest anymore; we will come to visit you again in a while, Big Sister."
Mother Gu hurriedly urged Gu Jing: "Go see off County Magistrate Tang and County Magistrate Wu."
Gu Jing saw the two of them to the elevator entrance, and after returning to the ward, she said softly: "Mom, you can rest easy now; the bad guys have already been caught."
Mother Gu nodded and suddenly probed: "This young Tang is really quite good; he looks quite young, he must be married, right?"
Gu Jing was stunned and retorted irritably: "Mom, what does it have to do with you whether he is married or not?"
Mother Gu's tone carried a hint of disappointment: "No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Your attitude toward young Tang is different from how you treat other men."
Gu Jing asked back in surprise: "How is it different?"
"You are always fierce toward others, but you are always soft-spoken toward him," Mother Gu smiled. "I can see it; you have a good impression of him. But I heard he is already married, so don't let your imagination run wild."
Having her thoughts exposed by her mother, Gu Jing felt somewhat embarrassed and argued stubbornly: "I think you've gone crazy wanting a son-in-law! He is two years younger than me; I have no interest in young boys. I am polite to him only because he helped us."
"He is already a Deputy Division Level Official even though he is two years younger than you; his future prospects are limitless," Mother Gu continued. "You must hurry up and find a partner; excellent men won't wait for anyone and will be snatched up by others early on. The less you hurry, the fewer choices you will have in the future."
Gu Jing suddenly remembered that Gao Ping had once said that she and Tang Ye "were not meant to be."
Thinking about it, her uncle must have seen long ago that Tang Ye was the ideal partner in her heart.
Of course, she would never admit it and remained stubborn: "Mom, women don't necessarily have to rely on men to live. I'm doing quite well being single now; I'm free and at ease."
Watching her daughter deliberately pretending not to care, Mother Gu smiled helplessly and shook her head gently.
