Chapter 556: A New Official Must Establish Authority!

Ge Yongjie watched as Tang Ye's car disappeared from sight.

His mind was a tangled mess of thoughts.

Previously, Gao Ping had once urged him that if he wanted to achieve results in Suiyuan, he could consider following closely in Tang Ye's footsteps.

Since then, Ge Yongjie had kept in constant contact with Tang Ye, promptly informing him of certain information from the Finance Bureau.

He hadn't expected that after only a few months, Tang Ye would have sorted out the problems in the Finance Bureau and taken down the corrupt element, Yang Guoliang.

And he himself had actually sat in the position of Acting Director.

As long as he worked step by step, getting the position confirmed would be no problem.

Moreover, having been entrusted with this task at a critical moment, in the eyes of the Organization Department, this also demonstrated that he possessed the ability to handle pressure.

Most importantly, Ge Yongjie had successfully entered Tang Ye's camp.

From here on out, his relationship with Tang Ye would become increasingly close.

In officialdom, following a good leader is of great significance.

Just like Yang Guoliang; he had been so smooth and so arrogant before, mainly because he had Gao Hong as his backer.

Judging by Tang Ye's speed of promotion, he would certainly move to higher positions in the future.

Perhaps he himself could also leverage Tang Ye's energy to aim for higher goals.

However, Ge Yongjie was very clear-headed!

The most urgent task was to sort out the problems in the Finance Bureau.

Thinking of this, Ge Yongjie's mood suddenly cleared up!

He, Ge Yongjie, had finally waited for the benefactor in his life.

He must firmly grasp this opportunity to change his destiny!

After returning to his office, Ge Yongjie dialed Gao Ping's number.

Seeing that it was a call from Ge Yongjie, Gao Ping said with a smile, "Little Ge, congratulations!"

Ge Yongjie said with a smile, "Senior Brother, you are teasing me. This position of Acting Director is not easy to sit in."

Gao Ping's tone became serious, and he said earnestly, "You have many strengths, but also quite a few weaknesses. The biggest problem is that you are not proactive enough and lack boldness. When an opportunity is placed before you, you must firmly grasp it. You should take Tang Ye as your role model. When he first arrived in Suiyuan, you knew the situation in Suiyuan. And now? Through his own efforts, in less than a year, he has stabilized the situation and has also gone from being an ordinary Deputy County Magistrate to the position of Executive Deputy County Magistrate."

Ge Yongjie gave a bitter smile, "County Magistrate Tang is an outstanding talent; it would be good if I had even half of his ability. The data I gave him—he could find the flaws and problems after just a cursory glance. His sensitivity to financial data makes me feel inferior."

Gao Ping smiled faintly, "You must seize the opportunity well. You will have good development in the future."

Ge Yongjie said earnestly, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. In a few days, I would like to ask for your advice in person."

Gao Ping laughed heartily, "My office is always open to you."

After hanging up on Ge Yongjie, Gao Ping stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

He could feel that there had been a clear change in Ge Yongjie.

He used to appear dull, but now he understood the ways of the world; under Tang Ye's influence, he had changed quite a bit.

It really is true: like general, like soldiers!

Gao Ping dialed Tang Ye's number.

Back then, Gao Ping had introduced Ge Yongjie to Tang Ye, hoping that he could give this junior brother a hand.

Tang Ye understood without being told and had handled the matter well.

Tang Ye answered and said with a smile, "What instructions does Director Gao have?"

Gao Ping sighed with emotion, "Yang Guoliang has been taken down! You really move fast!"

It had only been about half a year, so Gao Ping believed that moving fast was the truth!

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Little Ge is quite good; he performed a meritorious service. This junior brother of yours is very reliable."

Gao Ping smiled, "Let's get together when you have time, and we'll have a good drink."

Tang Ye said, "Mm, there's plenty of Suiyuan rice wine!"

A visceral reaction; his stomach began to churn with acid!

Yet Gao Ping laughed heartily, "It's a deal!"

……

After hanging up on Gao Ping.

Tang Ye had Lin Heng print out the document titled "Several Opinions on Promoting the Revitalization of State-Owned Assets in Suiyuan County."

Afterward, he knocked on the door of Han Guangyao's office.

Han Guangyao took the document and looked it over, then said softly, "Bring this material to the Standing Committee meeting later for discussion."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your support, Secretary Han!"

Han Guangyao waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. As you said, these state-owned assets have become private tools, which is not conducive to Suiyuan's business environment; it would be better to sell them and face market competition. However, have you made arrangements regarding the compensation for persuading personnel to resign?"

Tang Ye said, "I have calculated it; the one-time compensation is about 30 million, which can be paid from the transfer funds."

Han Guangyao nodded slightly, "The next step is to do a good job in appeasing these laid-off employees to prevent social unrest caused by a large number of people losing their jobs."

Tang Ye said, "Secretary Han, you don't need to worry. There are several companies in the Suiyuan Industrial Park that are currently hiring employees, and the salary and benefits offered are quite good. I have already spoken with the heads of those companies, and they can prioritize hiring the laid-off employees. Of course, the premise is that these employees have initiative. I have done a preliminary screening, and there are quite a few positions where people are drawing salaries without working. I believe we should hold people accountable for this phenomenon! The recovered losses can also be used to subsidize the resignation compensation."

Han Guangyao's expression turned cold; he mused that Tang Ye considered problems thoroughly, and said softly, "Fine, if there is anything you need me to coordinate, just tell me at any time."

Tang Ye left the County Party Secretary's office and returned to his own. Not long after, he received a call from Cheng Lin.

Tang Ye knew that Cheng Lin wanted to understand the ins and outs of the Yang Guoliang case, so he took the initiative and said, "Sister, I'll come to your office to report the situation to you!"

Cheng Lin hung up the phone and opened her office door.

Not long after, Tang Ye walked in with long, confident strides.

After Xu Qiao poured tea for Tang Ye, she walked out of the office and closed the door behind her.

For the past few days, the County Party Committee Compound had been buzzing with talk about Yang Guoliang, and versions of the news regarding Tang Ye cleaning up Yang Guoliang were emerging one after another.

One theory was that after Tang Ye became Executive Deputy County Magistrate, he wanted to establish his authority as a new official, so he used Yang Guoliang as an example.

One theory is that when Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Chengwu came for an inspection, Yang Guoliang leaked information to the superiors, which caused Han Guangyao to fly into a rage.

Another theory is that Tang Ye dug a trap for Yang Guoliang in order to help Ge Yongjie ascend to power.

Regardless, through this move, Tang Ye had already seized the right to speak regarding the County Finance Bureau.

For Gao Hong, losing the power over the treasury was definitely a major loss.

"Sister, the case of Yang Guoliang has been cleared up. He kept many mistresses on the outside. Each mistress has real estate under her name."

"Set Yang Guoliang's case aside; in a few days, several enterprises want to come to Suiyuan for an inspection. They are very interested in the plan to revitalize Suiyuan's state-owned assets."

"I was still worried that no one would show interest in this bidding! The more enterprises that participate, the more favorable it is for the Government. Sister, you solved quite a few difficult problems all at once. You are truly amazing."

Although she knew Tang Ye was buttering her up and deliberately trying to make her happy, Cheng Lin still couldn't help but smile.

Tang Ye thought to himself that this trick really worked every single time on Sister Lin!
