Chapter 527: Really Not Living Up to Expectations!

Tang Ye knew that the problem of the Old City demolition had to be solved.

First, the ideological work of the cadres in Jiulong Town had to be thoroughly completed.

"Starting from today!

All documents related to the Old City Commercial Reform must have their signing authority handed over to the county.

I will be the one to sign!

At the same time, I will also bear the corresponding consequences."

"Comrades, although the Old City has its advantages, the West City has been making progress.

If we do not open up the situation, cast off the old shackles, liberate our thinking, and seek change and innovation, the Old City is destined to become a dead city, and at that time, everyone present will be a sinner.

I hope everyone will take action, seize the time, and complete the demolition work within one month. If things remain as they are now without any changes, then the Old City Project will be declared terminated.

Whether it is those of you present or the common people of Jiulong Town, everyone will miss out on an unprecedented development opportunity."

After Tang Ye finished these words.

The crowd had complex expressions on their faces.

They knew that Tang Ye's words were not empty threats.

Anyu Group had already been investigated, and the Old City Project had become a stalled project.

……

After Tang Ye left the Jiulong Town Government.

Sha Ping kept the team members behind to continue the meeting.

"Comrades, you should have all heard the rumors. If we do not seize this opportunity to complete the demolition work, the Old City Project will likely be abandoned by the county, and the development momentum will come to an abrupt end. From today on, everyone must exhaust all methods and utilize all resources to ensure the advancement of the demolition work."

Yan Chao said worriedly: "It's fine to put in extra effort in other places, but the Dong Family Ancestral Hall on Yanhu Road is a tough nut to crack; we can't chew through it."

A look of worry appeared on Sha Ping's face, and he steeled his heart: "You finish the work in the other areas, and I will personally go to work on the Dong family side."

Yan Chao noticed that Sha Ping's gaze was unusually firm, as if he had become a different person.

Upon reflection, he understood Sha Ping's intentions.

Sha Ping wanted to use this political achievement to seek an opportunity for promotion.

Previously, when Nie Kai was coordinating the Old City Commercial Reform project, Sha Ping lacked motivation because he knew it was merely a formalized project, a political tool used by Nie Kai to hedge against Tang Ye.

With Nie Kai's ability and determination, the Old City Project was destined to be all thunder and no rain.

But after Tang Ye took over this project, the situation was different.

Tang Ye was young and full of pursuit for political achievements; his tenure in Suiyuan would not be long, and he would inevitably need to make the project take initial shape within three to five years.

Moreover, news had recently spread that Nie Kai being arrested, Anyu Group being investigated, and even the former Mayor Xiao Jingyu fleeing, were all related to Tang Ye's secret planning.

From this, one could see how powerful the background and strength behind Tang Ye were.

As for the Dong family, although they had been rooted in Suiyuan for many years and were a local major clan.

Facing an up-and-comer like Tang Ye, perhaps they would also give him some face.

The landline rang, and Cheng Lin was the first to call: "Congratulations, you have been nominated as a candidate for Executive Deputy County Magistrate."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Thank you."

Cheng Lin continued: "You have been promoted to Executive Deputy County Magistrate less than half a year after coming to Suiyuan, which has surprised many people. However, you must not be too proud."

Tang Ye was grateful for Cheng Lin's reminder: "Don't worry, Sister Lin, I won't get cocky."

Cheng Lin asked: "By the way, how is the demolition work in the Old City going?"

Tang Ye sighed: "We have encountered great obstacles. In the plan, there is a Dong Clan Ancestral Hall on Yanhu Road that falls within the scope of the demolition. Jiulong Town has done a lot of work, but there is still no significant progress."

Cheng Lin nodded slightly: "The Dong Clan is a family with deep roots in Hanzhou. They produced a Metropolitan Graduate in the Ming Dynasty and also had famous people in the Qing Dynasty, and they have great influence in Suiyuan. This family has a wide population coverage, and one branch has made a name for itself abroad. After the Reform and Opening-up, they returned to the country to renovate the ancestral hall and also donated funds to help with the construction of their hometown, which caused a great sensation at the time."

Tang Ye understood what Cheng Lin meant.

The difficulty of moving the Dong Clan Ancestral Hall was extraordinary, and if not handled well, it could easily trigger a huge uproar.

He frowned and said: "The location of the Dong Clan Ancestral Hall is critical. If it is not demolished, there will be a large patch missing from the entire commercial plan."

Cheng Lin said softly, "Let's think of a way together!"

……

After hanging up Cheng Lin's call, Tang Ye fell into thought.

He had spent half of his energy on the Old City project during this recent period, and the demolition work had shown obvious changes.

Because Tang Ye deliberately let out word that if they did not cooperate with the demolition, the commercial transformation of the Old City would be abandoned.

Those groups who hoped that demolition would change their fate quickly changed their stance and signed demolition agreements with the government one after another.

After all, the vast majority of people knew that demolition was not a bad thing.

The conflict lay in the fact that the compensation offered for the demolition was difficult to match their desires.

Tang Ye appropriately raised the demolition standards, while not giving the demolition work group room to bargain, giving the greatest benefits to the displaced households.

However, there was still the nail of the Dong Clan Ancestral Hall on the entire map.

The Dong Clan Ancestral Hall occupied a large area, and the entire family added up to thousands of people, which was a force that could not be ignored in Suiyuan.

If the demolition were carried out rashly, it would easily lead to mass incidents.

The Party Committee Secretary of Jiulong Town, Sha Ping, had gone to negotiate several times, but was turned away.

However, Tang Ye knew that many things could not be rushed.

Solving the Dong Clan Ancestral Hall required an opportunity!

Everyone has weaknesses.

Especially a large clan of thousands of people; there must be many entry points.

Tang Ye had heard some bad rumors about the Dong family.

Large families sometimes become umbrellas for underworld groups.

……

The cell phone rang. Tang Ye saw it was Du Xi calling and quickly answered.

"Husband, congratulations! I heard the news. You are going to be the Executive Deputy County Magistrate. I am so proud of you!"

"Haha, it's not even a done deal yet, keep a low profile. By the way, I will be returning to Hanzhou tonight."

"That's great! Then I must prepare properly."

"Prepare for what?"

"To put on some makeup and dress up a bit," Du Xi said with a smile. "I usually go bare-faced and look like a dowdy housewife; I can't have you looking down on me."

Tang Ye chuckled, "How could that be? In my heart, you are always the most beautiful."

After hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Du Xi felt sweet inside.

Although Tang Ye often did things that made people nervous, when she thought about it carefully, after every storm, there was always an unexpected surprise.

Du Xi called Xiao Qin, "Tang Ye is coming back for dinner tonight."

Xiao Qin said with a smile, "Got it. I'll go buy groceries in a bit."

Du Xi said triumphantly, "Mom, I just got the news that Tang Ye has been nominated as a candidate for Executive Deputy County Magistrate. Dad was already over forty when he became Executive Deputy County Magistrate, right?"

Xiao Qin rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Your father and I had been married for less than a month when I had good news. You've been married for almost a year, and there's still no movement!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qin heard a busy signal on the phone, and a victorious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Du Xi patted her belly in frustration and said bitterly, "You really are disappointing!"
