Chapter 466: Tang Ye is My Backer!

After Tang Ye left the hospital, Gao Ping's call immediately followed.

"I heard from Gu Jing that you went to the hospital to visit a patient just now?"

Tang Ye chuckled in response: "That's right, County Magistrate Wu went with me—you've met him, the one in charge of the Garden Bureau."

Gao Ping didn't have a deep impression of Wu Yang, but he took the initiative to suggest at this moment: "Next time, you can invite County Magistrate Wu to have tea together."

"Sure, whenever Brother Gao is free," Tang Ye agreed.

"You focus on driving, I'll hang up first."

"Alright, let's talk later."

Tang Ye thought to himself: Favorability with the God of Wealth +100!

Seeing Tang Ye and Gao Ping chatting so pleasantly, Wu Yang sighed inwardly.

One must know that Gao Ping manages a massive amount of fiscal funds every year.

If Tang Ye can call him brother, it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort when striving for project funding in the future.

But Wu Yang knew clearly that this friendship stemmed not only from a connection of interests, but even more from Tang Ye's personal charm.

Don't look at how young he is; he always handles interpersonal relations with perfect precision, and his mastery of social nuances can be called seasoned.

"I have already submitted the candidate for the director of the Garden Bureau, but looking at County Magistrate Gao's attitude, he seems quite dissatisfied," Wu Yang mentioned to Tang Ye about his meeting with Gao Hong. "Now Gao Hong thinks I have picked a side and is making things difficult for me at every turn."

Although the County Garden Bureau is not a core department, a Section Chief level position has always been an important stepping stone for promotion.

Hearing this, Tang Ye smiled faintly: "County Magistrate Gao has his own considerations; don't take it too much to heart."

Wu Yang sighed helplessly: "If I arrange the candidate according to his wishes, I'm afraid it will just be changing the medicine without changing the ingredients; the chaotic state of the Garden Bureau will continue."

Tang Ye rubbed his chin and pondered: "Secretary Han knows what's going on, you don't need to rush."

Wu Yang knew Tang Ye's style of doing things well; since he had already pointed it out, he would definitely keep it in mind.

For Tang Ye, he wanted to install "his own people" in this Section Chief level position as much as possible.

And this moment was the key to testing Tang Ye's operational ability in personnel layout.

Tang Ye was also pondering: if he were to forcefully recommend a candidate, convincing Cheng Lin and Han Guangyao would not be difficult, it was just that there was no suitable candidate at the moment.

Although the resume of the person Wu Yang recommended was impressive, it carried the heavy brand of the "Suiyuan Gang," and Tang Ye saw no reason to speak up for a controversial stranger.

……

Inside the office of the Deputy County Party Secretary.

Xu Qiao brewed a cup of green tea for Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin took a small sip and said to her: "You are going back to attend a wedding tonight, get off work early."

"Thank you, Secretary Cheng," Xu Qiao nodded in gratitude.

Since following Cheng Lin from Tianling County to Suiyuan County, she had always been deeply trusted and cared for; Cheng Lin not only provided careful guidance at work but also gave much help in life.

Xu Qiao transferred buses for nearly two hours and finally arrived at the Pinghu Jindu Hotel.

Looking at the sweet appearance of the newlyweds at the wedding scene, she felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

After her boyfriend was injured in a car accident, his memory was damaged, and he couldn't recognize her after several visits; was there still any meaning in this persistence?

She fell into deep conflict.

When she returned home, the living room was brightly lit.

Her brother-in-law, Guo Liang, was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Seeing her return, he immediately stood up: "You're finally back! Come eat some fruit, your sister knew you were coming back and specifically bought lychees."

Xu Qiao sat down opposite Guo Liang and peeled a lychee.

The fruit was sweet, but it could not hide the bitterness in her heart.

"Your sister has been nagging me lately, I don't know if she's hit menopause..." Guo Liang sighed to himself, "Living life requires learning to reconcile with oneself. Look, it's not a rare thing for us to eat lychees now, but back in the day, it was much more difficult for the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort to eat lychees."

"She thinks you have too many social engagements," Xu Qiao said softly.

Guo Liang let out a long sigh: "Every day there are companies coming to my door; I have many social engagements, but it's helpless!"

He suddenly changed the subject and lowered his voice to inquire: "Did something big happen in Suiyuan recently?"

Xu Qiao nodded: "The director of the County Garden Bureau, Sun Linong, has been placed under 'internal disciplinary investigation,' implicating quite a few people. Now the whole county is very nervous. I originally thought the Garden Bureau was a clean department, but I didn't expect it to lead to a corruption case involving over a hundred million."

Guo Liang's eyes rolled slightly, and he pressed: "Has the candidate for the new director been decided?"

"It can't be decided for the time being; County Magistrate Gao and Secretary Han have different opinions."

Guo Liang smiled thoughtfully: "It's better when there's a disagreement..."

Xu Qiao was startled upon hearing this.

She vaguely felt that there was a hidden mystery in Guo Liang's words.

That night, after his wife, Xu Miao, finished bathing and got into bed, Guo Liang suddenly grabbed her.

Xu Miao was startled and pushed him away irritably: "What kind of madness are you having?"

Guo Liang chuckled: "Give me a chance to curry favor."

Xu Miao knew Guo Liang's mind too well, and her expression became serious: "Speak, what exactly is the matter?"

"I have an idea," Guo Liang lowered his voice, "How about we go to Suiyuan County to develop?"

Xu Miao rolled her eyes at him: "It's not that easy to transfer across counties and districts! Xu Qiao can go there because Secretary Cheng takes care of her. Besides, the economy of Suiyuan doesn't compare to Tianling County; if you go there to develop, it's not as good as staying in Pinghu."

Guo Liang was silent for a moment and explained patiently: "Yesterday, Chen Zhihua was called to the county, and Secretary Shen criticized him in front of everyone. If Old Chen is having such a hard time, what about the rest of us?"

Xu Miao looked at him in surprise: "Isn't it said that Secretary Shen and Secretary-General Du are relatives? Secretary Chen is a cadre promoted by Secretary-General Du. Why is he still so harsh on Chen Zhihua?"

"It's all because the Hanxing Group project landed in Suiyuan," Guo Liang said helplessly, "Shen Mingcheng feels that Secretary-General Du stabbed him in the back. People who were previously valued by Secretary-General Du are now frequently being given a hard time."

Xu Miao thought thoughtfully: "He shouldn't be able to notice you, right?"

"Wife, I am currently a Party Committee Member and a Deputy Section Level official," Guo Liang analyzed seriously, "According to my resume, it would take at least ten years to get promoted to Section Chief level, and by then I'll be fifty years old. A tree moved dies, a person moved lives; if I want to develop, I have to jump out of this circle. I asked Xu Qiao today, and the position of director of the Suiyuan Garden Bureau is vacant. I want to go and try."

Xu Miao widened her eyes in disbelief: "That's a Section Chief level position, can you do it?"

"How will I know if I don't try?" Guo Liang's expression was serious, "I will go find my old leader tomorrow. Tang Ye is now a Standing Committee Member of Suiyuan County; if he is willing to help, the chances are very high."

Guo Liang had always believed that his backer was Tang Ye.

He was worthy of the title of old leader!

During every holiday and festival, Guo Liang would send messages to Tang Ye to offer greetings and blessings.

Xu Miao understood Guo Liang's concerns: if he really went to Suiyuan, either she would have to move there with him, or they would have to live apart.

Guo Liang discussed it with her because he wanted to hear her opinion.

She buried her head in Guo Liang's chest: "I support you. I trust County Magistrate Tang just as much as you do. Although he is young, he is a man of honor in his actions. If you can follow him, you will surely have great development in the future."

Having received Xu Miao's support, the heavy stone in Guo Liang's heart fell to the ground, and he kissed her on the forehead: "We haven't 'done laundry' in a long time."

Xu Miao pushed against his chest, her face turning bright red: "Xu Qiao is still at home, keep it down!"
