Chapter 555: Don't Let County Magistrate Tang Down!

The County Party Committee Standing Committee, after careful discussion and deliberation, finalized the personnel arrangements.

As the Organization Department Minister, Kang Jiayi must ensure the team's personnel decisions are implemented in place.

To put it bluntly, even if Ge Yongjie does not want to be this Acting Chief right now, he must be forcibly kept in the position.

"This is a mission accepted in a time of crisis. You are a Party member and have the obligation and responsibility to step forward at a critical moment. This is a difficult test, but for you, it is also a very good opportunity. Even if there are difficulties, I hope you can overcome them."

"Sigh, Minister Kang..."

Ge Yongjie originally wanted to say that he suggested Kang Jiayi choose someone else.

If the Director is gone, the Executive Deputy Director can step up!

At worst, a cadre could be parachuted in from another department.

"Yongjie, let me tell you the truth. Yang Guoliang's case has wide-reaching implications. The County Commission for Discipline Inspection hasn't provided news for the time being, and it's unknown who will be investigated next. The urgent priority is to find someone trustworthy to get the Finance Bureau running."

Kang Jiayi patted Ge Yongjie on the shoulder.

"Executive Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye is in charge of finance, and he trusts you very much. He strongly recommended you to Secretary Han. You must not let him down!"

Ge Yongjie looked at Kang Jiayi's earnest expression, then saw that Kang Jiayi had brought up Tang Ye, and sighed inwardly, knowing he could not decline.

"Since it is a temporary task assigned to me by the organization, I will certainly do it well. Please rest assured, Minister Kang."

Seeing that he had successfully completed the ideological work on Ge Yongjie, Kang Jiayi felt a sense of relief and said in a deep voice, "In a while, we will hold a plenary meeting to announce your appointment."

In the past, many people coveted the position of Director of the Finance Bureau, but after the incident with Yang Guoliang, it is unknown who will be implicated, so the Organization Department can only arrange for the most trustworthy person.

Ge Yongjie's refusal was also understandable.

Whoever sits in that seat becomes a thorn in everyone's side!

Whoever sits there will have thousands of eyes focused on them, scrutinizing them, and supervising them.

Around three o'clock.

Tang Ye walked into the Finance Bureau with Lin Heng, and those who recognized him took the initiative to greet him.

Tang Ye first went to Ge Yongjie's office to meet with Kang Jiayi and chatted with him about some trivial matters for a while.

"The Section Level class at the Provincial Party School is about to start, right? This course is very long, I'm afraid you'll have to run between two places."

Tang Ye said helplessly: "I communicated with Minister Xia, the list has already been submitted, and it's not easy to change people."

Kang Jiayi thought to himself that if it were anyone else, they would be overjoyed.

Yet Tang Ye said he wanted to change people, which really makes one feel angry.

"The people selected by the Party School this time are all young cadres from the whole province; not many people can meet the registration requirements." Kang Jiayi said enviously, "It is said that many people pulled a lot of strings just to get into this class!"

Tang Ye knew that Kang Jiayi was referring to Shen Mingcheng.

If it weren't for the previous conduct issues, Shen Mingcheng could have obtained the qualification to participate in the training.

For Shen Mingcheng, this was undoubtedly missing an important opportunity.

Lin Heng walked to the door and reported softly: "Minister Kang, County Magistrate Tang, everyone has arrived."

Tang Ye stood up and said to Kang Jiayi: "Minister Kang, please!"

This is the County Finance Bureau, a department under Tang Ye's jurisdiction.

Therefore, Tang Ye must show a strong stance!

Kang Jiayi and Tang Ye walked into the conference room side by side.

The conference room was full of employees.

Several Deputy Directors sat on the podium.

Kang Jiayi and Tang Ye sat in the middle seats.

After Tang Ye sat down, he picked up the microphone and looked around; the originally noisy venue instantly became quiet.

Tang Ye presided over the meeting!

"Comrades, Minister Kang and I came here today mainly to announce two things.

The first thing is regarding the serious disciplinary violations of the former Director of the Finance Bureau, Yang Guoliang. During his tenure, he engaged in corruption, bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain. He was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission yesterday. According to the spirit of the County Party Committee meeting, the Finance Bureau must immediately begin self-inspection and self-correction.

On one hand, we encourage everyone to actively and enthusiastically provide clues to the Discipline Inspection Department.

On the other hand, due to special reasons, comrades who have disciplinary violations, please consciously go to the Discipline Inspection Department to confess and strive for lenient treatment.

Now, I invite Minister Kang to announce the second thing."

Kang Jiayi turned on the microphone and said in a resonant voice: "According to the decision of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, Comrade Ge Yongjie is appointed as the Acting Director of the County Finance Bureau. I hope that the comrades present can center yourselves around him, adjust the work rhythm, change the work style, and bring about some improvements to the financial system."

Tang Ye took the lead in applauding, then swept his gaze toward the people on the podium.

Except for Ge Yongjie, the team members hurriedly followed suit and applauded.

Tang Ye nodded with satisfaction while applauding.

When the applause stopped, Tang Ye continued to speak into the microphone: "Now, I invite Comrade Ge Yongjie to say a few words to everyone."

Ge Yongjie took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "I thank the County Party Committee leadership for their trust, and I thank Minister Kang and County Magistrate Tang for their support!

Comrades, a major incident recently occurred at the Finance Bureau. I believe everyone already knows the ins and outs, so I won't go into details here.

Finance is the economic lifeline of a locality. Having corruption problems in this department is fatal.

I state once again:

Next, the Finance Bureau must first strictly grasp the issue of work style, severely govern bad trends, and severely crack down on illegal acts.

Secondly, we must grasp professional competence. Many comrades are lax in their work, leading to extremely low efficiency. We must carry out rectification; we cannot let the Finance Bureau become a granary for vermin..."

Tang Ye sat on the podium, looking at the sea of heads, and took a sip of tea.

He only felt invigorated and refreshed.

Today, it seems like just another ordinary day.

But, today also seems different.

Because the things he had been planning and laying out for a long time finally had a result.

Watching Ge Yongjie smooth his furrowed brows, he gradually began to look like a top leader.

Tang Ye mused to himself that, sure enough, one's position determines one's aura and perspective.

How a top leader should speak and how they should deliver remarks does not need to be taught hand-in-hand at all.

Once one sits in that position, one learns it naturally.

It is just like Tang Ye and Kang Jiayi; before, when he was still an ordinary Deputy County Magistrate, speaking with Kang Jiayi meant being heavily suppressed by his aura.

But now, Tang Ye's ranking in the County Party Committee is fifth, and Kang Jiayi's is fourth; that sense of oppression no longer exists between the two.

However, Tang Ye can see that Kang Jiayi carries a measure of caution when speaking with him.

Although Tang Ye and Kang Jiayi are on different paths, a competitive relationship has actually already formed between the two.

Moving forward, both of their promotion paths point toward Deputy County Party Secretary.

The climb up the official ladder is like thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge.

Having endured for so many years to finally become the Organization Department Minister, Kang Jiayi feels inexplicably conflicted seeing Tang Ye catch up to him before the age of thirty.

Kang Jiayi knows that while he and Tang Ye appear to be in competition, there is actually no basis for comparison.

Due to age limitations, he has already reached his ceiling.

Tang Ye, however, is like the purple light from the east, rising steadily!

Nevertheless, in his heart, there is still some envy mixed with jealousy.

After the meeting concluded, Ge Yongjie saw Tang Ye and Kang Jiayi out of the County Finance Bureau.

"Minister Kang, County Magistrate Tang, travel safely."

"Keep up the good work!"

Tang Ye shook hands with Ge Yongjie once more, then got into the car.
