Chapter 580: An Opportunity to Pledge Loyalty!

After the meeting adjourned, Tang Ye made a phone call to Han Guangyao.

Han Guangyao was currently in the province attending an event; upon hearing how Tang Ye handled the Spring Festival consolation funds, he sighed inwardly: previously, he had asked Gao Hong to handle this matter, but Gao Hong had mainly focused on stalling, whereas Tang Ye had solved the problem on his very first day back.

Sure enough, the efficiency of handling problems at the Suiyuan County Government was clearly different with Tang Ye than without him.

"You handled this matter very well." Han Guangyao had also thought about seeking donations from enterprises, but he did not have much contact with them.

Tang Ye directly assigned the task to the Deputy County Magistrate; this idea was indeed quite good.

"There is one more thing that requires your attention and intervention: the office building of the Suiyuan Water Pump Factory cannot be cleared out for the time being."

"I will set about handling this matter immediately."

"Mm, if you take charge of it, I can rest easy."

Tang Ye said softly: "There is something I need to report to you."

"Feel free to speak plainly!"

"When I returned to the County Party Committee Compound today, I met Guo Shulin, the Party Branch Secretary of Xiaoguo Village, and he brought up a problem worth noting. When the County Civil Affairs Bureau requisitioned land in Xiaoguo Village to build a cemetery, the land requisition and demolition funds were not given to the village at the time. Guo Shulin discovered an account under his name that had over 300,000 in turnover, so he suspects that this capital was embezzled by someone using his personal information."

Upon hearing this, a cold look appeared in Han Guangyao's eyes: "It's the Civil Affairs Bureau having problems again!"

Tang Ye said: "I feel that Zhang Jinan absconding with the funds is only the tip of the iceberg regarding the problems in the Suiyuan Civil Affairs Bureau."

Han Guangyao said: "Leave this matter to you to investigate further; I will never be lenient toward those who have problems."

Having received Han Guangyao's support, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Please rest assured, Secretary Han; I will have Comrade Wan Ming organize the clues, and once there is sufficient evidence, we will close the net."

Han Guangyao said: "I believe you can handle this matter well."

Han Guangyao had worked in the propaganda system for many years, and deep down, he had a strong sense of sympathy for vulnerable groups, so when he learned that the Spring Festival consolation funds had been embezzled, he was furious.

Now that Tang Ye mentioned the issue of the cemetery land requisition compensation being stolen, Han Guangyao was even more incensed.

These people had not only reached out their demonic claws toward vulnerable groups, but even toward the deceased!

They had completely lost their bottom line and conscience!

After hanging up Han Guangyao's call, there was a knock at the office door.

Tang Ye looked up and saw Wan Ming standing at the door, then stood up with a smile: "Please come in!"

Wan Ming sighed helplessly: "Yin Xidong is not a good bird; problems arose in the departments he oversees, and yet he makes us clean up his mess."

Tang Ye smiled: "What? Do you intend not to cooperate with my arrangements?"

Wan Ming waved his hand: "How could that be? I have already notified them just now. Two enterprises were very proactive, and the task has already been completed. If there is a need, we can even strive for more."

Tang Ye nodded and said: "The capable do more work, so I will leave it to you."

Wan Ming currently oversees the Public Security Bureau, so many enterprises need to deal with him.

Wan Ming is single-mindedly focused on promotion, so in his view, sugar-coated bullets are all poisons that corrode him.

Now that he has raised his arm and called out, naturally many people are showing favor to Wan Ming; this is a good opportunity to pledge their loyalty!

"Then let's strive for some more! Later, we will give it all to the low-income individuals and impoverished families who need it." Tang Ye agreed, "By the way, are there any results in the pursuit of Zhang Jinan?"

Wan Ming sighed: "No clues; this kid has vanished into thin air."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows; he must have planned his escape route long ago. However, even the most meticulous plan will have loopholes. We can wait for an opportunity, but we must never give up."

A cold look appeared in Wan Ming's eyes: "For a degenerate like this who eats human blood buns, we must bring him to justice."

Tang Ye was infected by Wan Ming's passion; it is a very fortunate thing to have a like-minded companion by one's side.

"Additionally, there is another matter that requires you to investigate in secret. I received Guo Shulin today, and he indicated that someone used his personal information to illegally occupy the cemetery land requisition funds."

Wan Ming's eyes lit up: "Related to Civil Affairs again?"

Tang Ye said: "Yes, Zhang Jinan's absconding has torn off the fig leaf. I have received instructions from Secretary Han; next, you must thoroughly investigate the problems in Civil Affairs."

Wan Ming sneered: "This Yin Xidong has a high level of skill in passing the buck, but his ability to handle affairs is a total mess. However, as far as I know, Yin Xidong has backing in the province."

Tang Ye said: "Regardless of what the backing is, if it involves him, we must investigate to the end."

Wan Ming smiled: "Since you came back, I have much more confidence."

Tang Ye looked at Wan Ming in surprise and teased: "What? You, a Deputy County Magistrate concurrently serving as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, still have people bullying you?"

Wan Ming said gloomily: "Some time ago, I was being ordered around by Gao Hong every day, saying that I did this part poorly and that part improperly. Especially regarding the issue of pursuing Zhang Jinan, it was as if I were the one who lost the Spring Festival consolation funds, pushing all the responsibility onto me."

Currently, at the County Magistrate meetings, including the Director of the County Government Office Zhu Kang, there are a total of ten people with the right to speak.

If Tang Ye is not there, Wan Ming only has Wu Yang as an ally.

Wan Ming has always been a man of action rather than words; when it comes to sharp debates at meetings, he inevitably falls into a disadvantageous position.

Tang Ye patted Wan Ming on the shoulder: "So that's how it is. Rest assured, I am back; if they want to pass the buck, it won't work with me here."

Wan Ming sighed inwardly.

Tang Ye went to the Provincial Party School to study for a month, and he fully felt a sense of powerlessness.

He had once had the illusion that he had cracked so many major cases and was constantly being promoted because of his own ability.

But, when he was far away from Tang Ye, he discovered how weak he was.

Not only could he not crack big cases, he was even helpless against a small case of someone absconding with funds.

Therefore, Wan Ming recognized the reality.

Tang Ye is very important to him.

The Earth can rotate without anyone.

But without Tang Ye, it seems that nothing he does goes smoothly.

—Eating is no longer tasty, and his bowel movements are no longer well-formed!

"Bring me the file on Zhang Jinan to look at. It is difficult for a person to change certain habits; if you want to find his whereabouts, you must first understand this person, know his personality traits, and then analyze his thinking."

"Alright, I will send you Zhang Jinan's file later."

With Tang Ye's intervention, Wan Ming suddenly had a backbone.

After Wan Ming left, Lin Heng knocked on the door and walked in.

Lin Heng's face was full of joy!

"County Magistrate Tang, I just contacted several enterprises, and these enterprises have all replied that they are willing to show their love for the people on minimum subsistence allowances!"

"Very well, you coordinate with them, and after their money arrives in the account, I will call the persons in charge of their enterprises!"

After Wan Ming left, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

What he worried about most was that these enterprises would not give him face.

If he could not even handle a few hundred thousand in charitable donations, he would lose face completely.

However, facts proved that entrepreneurs still understand social graces.

This was a good opportunity to increase his impression score in Tang Ye's heart!
