Chapter 47: Turning a Bad Hand into a Miraculous Result!

After expressing his stance, Ji Guotao left immediately.

Before parting, Ji Guotao and Tang Ye exchanged contact information.

"In the future, please continue to help take care of Wu Jie and Han Ze. If you encounter any problems, you can contact me."

"Please rest assured, Chief. I will take good care of them."

Seeing this scene, the others were filled with deep emotion.

Although the military and the government are two separate systems, Tang Ye being able to connect with Ji Guotao was beneficial to his career and had no downsides.

Wang Kaicheng suddenly thought of the concept of "fortune" again.

He had worked for so many years, always waiting for a benefactor, and his hair had even gone bald from the stress, yet he had seen no sign of one.

Tang Ye was practically like someone using a cheat code; he could encounter benefactors so easily.

It was somewhat irrational to conspire with Cao Debiao to dump Qianjin Village on Tang Ye before.

Wang Kaicheng made up his mind to try hard to improve his relationship with Tang Ye.

Cao Debiao felt bitter inside at this moment; originally, dumping Qianjin Village on Tang Ye was meant to make him suffer a bit, but who could have imagined that this guy could achieve miraculous results even after being dealt a bad hand.

……

Tang Ye watched the jeep disappear from his field of vision, then turned and headed toward the conference room.

A group of people discussed how to resolve the issue with the Shashi Factory.

Du Chengfeng presided over the meeting, "Everyone, please share your thoughts."

Wei Jian decided to stick to his policy of muddling through to the end, "The Shashi Factory has a series of problems such as irregular management, but its contributions to local development over these many years are obvious to all. We must be sufficiently tolerant toward enterprises and not kill them off with a single blow. Of course, compensation should be paid where due, and fines should be levied where appropriate."

The others expressed their views one after another, all following Wei Jian's lead.

Du Chengfeng glanced at Tang Ye and suddenly asked, "Comrade Tang Ye, what do you think?"

Tang Ye paused for a moment and said in a clear voice, "I believe we should take this opportunity to shut down or restructure the Shashi Factory."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was startled.

Chen Zhihua had spoken with Tang Ye privately about taking drastic measures against the Shashi Factory, but he did not expect him to bring it up in such a sensitive setting.

Wei Jian cast a cold look at Tang Ye and asked a series of questions, "You speak lightly, disregarding the consequences. If the Shashi Factory is shut down, how will the workers be settled? The drivers took out loans to buy sand transport trucks; are you going to cut off their livelihood? Although the Shashi Factory has poor management, if it is forcibly shut down, it will cause a series of aftereffects. If more problems arise, will you take responsibility for it?"

Most people felt that shutting down the Shashi Factory was unrealistic and the punishment was too severe!

Tang Ye said indifferently, "Since the Shashi Factory opened, whether its contributions are greater or its harm is greater is really hard to say!"

Wei Jian looked at Tang Ye with a complex expression, "The traffic accident was a low-probability event. After this lesson, with strict management and government supervision, I believe no similar incidents will happen again."

Tang Ye realized he had to play his trump card!

"These are some photos I took on the riverbank of Qianjin Village a few days ago.

According to the approval from higher authorities, the factory's original sand-dredging area was Fugu Village, but every single day, sand-dredging machines maliciously extract sand from the shoals of Qianjin Village.

If you go to the site, you will discover a terrifying fact. This location has vanished into thin air! The South Sea is reclaiming land, yet some people are using the land as a tool for profit, causing national territory to be lost in vain!

Pinghu has experienced severe flooding disasters in the past; this kind of illegal sand dredging will lead to soil erosion, and flood control facilities are at risk.

In summary, this business model does not conform to the national policy of sustainable development.

The Shashi Factory must be permanently shut down!"

Wei Jian did not expect a Deputy Town Mayor to constantly challenge his authority!

His expression was very ugly, and he angrily slapped the table twice, "The Shashi Factory has nearly a hundred employees; how do you plan to arrange for them? If they lose their rice bowls, the incident of blocking the door today will happen again. If the situation gets out of control, can you take responsibility?"

Wei County Magistrate's ability to maintain his composure was lacking compared to Secretary Du.

Tang Ye said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My suggestion is to register an earthwork engineering transport company and change from sand transport to earth transport. As for the sand-dredging equipment, it can be sold to compensate the victims of the traffic accident. I have investigated the market; there is a huge demand for real estate development and large-scale infrastructure projects. If a transport company is established, the income of those drivers will increase significantly. At the same time, we also avoid continuing to destroy the environment."

Wei Jian suddenly felt like he was being outmaneuvered step by step!

Tang Ye had already sorted everything out clearly; continuing to debate would only make him more passive.

He strategically drank his tea and said no more.

Du Chengfeng did not expect Tang Ye to be able to firmly occupy the upper hand in an argument with Wei Jian. Although he had the advantage of time and place, his composure in not being intimidated by Wei Jian was admirable.

It was time to settle the matter!

Du Chengfeng tapped the table twice, waiting for everyone's attention to focus on him.

"Comrade Tang Ye has analyzed the problem very thoroughly and even provided a solution. Using the Shashi Factory as a foundation to reopen an earthwork engineering transport company—this matter will be left to you to take charge of."

……

Saturday.

Tang Ye visited Han Ze.

Tang Ye walked into the room and placed the fruit basket beside the bed.

Han Ze's hospital bed was by the window.

He kept his eyes tightly closed, his face pale, and his body motionless; from the outside, it was impossible to tell if he was in a coma or just sleeping.

The attending physician heard that Tang Ye had arrived and came over from the office. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he explained Han Ze's physical condition to Tang Ye, "The patient suffered large-scale ischemia and hypoxia in the right hemisphere of the brain, causing edema in the right brain and increased intracranial pressure, which triggered a cerebral hernia. He underwent decompression surgeries including a decompressive craniectomy, hematoma evacuation, and frontal lobe resection..."

Tang Ye knew clearly that Han Ze being saved was 30% due to his father's skill and 70% due to good luck.

"Wu Jie, if you encounter any problems in the hospital, contact me at any time. Take this meal card; my father usually eats in the small canteen in the operating room and doesn't need this card. The money inside can be used not only for meals in the canteen but also to buy daily necessities at the supermarket."

Tang Ye was not willing to help just anyone; it depended on the person, and he admired Wu Jie's character.

Wu Jie's eyes turned red instantly, and she shook her head to refuse, "Deputy Town Mayor Tang, I cannot take this; you have already helped me enough."

Tang Ye stuffed the meal card directly into her pocket, "I promised the Chief that I would take good care of you all, and I cannot go back on my word. You must take it, otherwise, you are looking down on me."

Seeing that Tang Ye seemed angry, Wu Jie did not insist further and turned to take out a piece of paper, "This is the consent form for land transfer. I must apologize to you; I made things difficult for you before."

Tang Ye, however, patiently persuaded her, "Think about it again! Do not make a decision against your will."

"My son told me many times before to contract out the private plot of land, but I couldn't get past that hurdle before. After this incident, I have realized it. Being alive and healthy is the most important thing. How much grain can that piece of land grow? There is no need to hold onto it."

"Then I will accept it. Thank you for your cooperation."

Tang Ye did not linger and took his leave.

A fellow patient whispered to Wu Jie, "Who is this young man? The doctors and nurses are very polite to him."

"He is my son's savior. His father is the Neurosurgery Director. That night, my son was in a car accident; fortunately, he discovered it in time and found a vehicle to send my son to the City People's Hospital. Director Tang had already finished his shift, but he specifically rushed over to participate in the emergency rescue."

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect Director Tang's son to not only be talented and handsome but also have such a warm heart!"

"He is the Deputy Town Mayor of our town, young and promising."

Tang Yu heard that Tang Ye had come and specifically went to the ward, but he did not expect that Tang Ye had already left.

He happened to hear Wu Jie and the fellow patient praising his son.

A hint of a smile appeared on his habitually stern face.

Tang Ye walked out of the hospital and received a call from a stranger.

The woman's voice was soft and languid as she introduced herself, "Deputy Town Mayor Tang, my name is Cai Meifen. Would you do me the honor of having dinner tonight?"

Tang Ye had some understanding of Cai Meifen; she was the nominal boss of the Shashi Factory and had an extraordinary relationship with "General Bi."

Tang Ye pondered that he could make contact; after all, if the Shashi Factory were to undergo a transformation, he would still need her cooperation.

"I would also like to get to know Boss Cai. Why don't I treat you to dinner!"

Cai Meifen was stunned for a moment, "How could I let a leader pay? I will send you the address for dinner later. See you later!"

Following the address given by Cai Meifen, Tang Ye arrived at a restaurant located in the suburbs.

After reporting Cai Meifen's name at the front desk, a waiter led him to a private room.

After Tang Ye entered the room, he was stunned for a moment.

Cai Meifen sat on the sofa with her jade-like legs crossed, dressed quite sexily in a V-neck dress, looking at Tang Ye with a beaming smile.
