Chapter 616: A Heavy Slap to Shen's Face!

Tang Ye received a call from Sun Hai.

Sun Hai's voice was hoarse, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper; he must have just finished crying.

In Tang Ye's impression, this kid had been especially prone to crying since high school.

If he did poorly on a test, he would cry...

If he got dumped, he would cry...

The time he failed the college entrance exam, he cried particularly miserably...

At the time, Sun Hai grabbed Tang Ye's arm and wailed, "Tang Seng, how did you score so well? You exceeded the admission cutoff by so much, it would have been great if you'd shared some points with me!"

So many years have passed, and Sun Hai is still that same "good-for-nothing" person!

"Tang Seng, I really have to thank you! I didn't expect the effect to be so good once the news aired today. My dad actually praised me for the first time ever, I... I'm really incredibly moved." When Sun Hai said this, his voice was actually choking up.

Tang Ye knew clearly that the relationship between Sun Hai and his father had never been harmonious.

The outside world all thought Sun Hai was a pampered rich kid, but in reality, he had always been trying to shake off that label.

Although Sun Hai had developed quite well in recent years, not only accumulating a fair amount of wealth but also winning a certain social status, Sun's father still did not approve of him.

Especially this matter of "going to jail," which made Sun's father even more dissatisfied with him.

Fortunately, after watching the news, Sun's father finally understood that he had wronged his son.

"Your father is strict with you, but in his heart, he has always hoped you would become outstanding," Tang Ye encouraged with a smile.

Sun Hai sighed lightly, then his tone became relaxed: "This is probably 'misfortune, where blessing depends; blessing, where misfortune hides.' When I was detained before, I was incredibly depressed; I never imagined the result would be so unexpected. By the way, can you find the footage of this news segment? I want to save it."

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Television station news masters are generally not leaked. I'll think of a way later to see if I can get you a sample copy."

A so-called sample copy would have a watermark, losing its value for dissemination.

Human nature is just like that; having something is better than having nothing.

Just like certain adult films; even knowing that a blurred screen puts a veil over things, because of the lead actress's good figure, one is still willing to clear some space on the hard drive to quietly treasure it.

Tang Ye dialed the number of Huang Jun, the director of the News Office of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department.

Huang Jun picked up the phone and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Tang, hello! May I ask what your instructions are?"

Tang Ye said: "Regarding the promotional video for Haichen Company, it aired today. It was filmed very well, promoting positive social energy with a lofty theme. All of this is thanks to your guidance."

Before this news aired, Huang Jun had participated in the editing.

Because it was a task assigned by the Municipal Party Committee Office and was being watched by high-level leaders, he did not dare to take it lightly at all.

"County Magistrate Tang, you are too polite. This news segment truly has reporting significance and value, as it focuses on a special group in society—people released from prison. After these people are rehabilitated and return to society, there is an adaptation phase. If we ostracize or discriminate against them, it is very easy for them to repeat their mistakes."

Tang Ye slowly brought up the main topic: "I have a presumptuous request; I would like to ask you for a copy of the video to save. If it violates discipline, then forget it."

Huang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "A small matter, I'll arrange it right now."

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Huang Jun rubbed his chin and pondered to himself: Having established a connection with Tang Ye through this matter, I must keep in touch and find an opportunity to have a meal alone; this will definitely be beneficial for me.

Huang Jun had done a detailed background check on Tang Ye: Tang Ye had an upright style and was completely unpretentious when interacting with others, giving people a feeling of being both approachable and comfortable.

Sure enough, to be promoted to Deputy Division Level at such a young age and still be in a core position, he naturally had his own superior qualities.

Half an hour later, Tang Ye opened his email and received the message sent by Huang Jun.

After downloading and watching it once to confirm there were no issues, he replied to Huang Jun.

Afterwards, he sent the video to Sun Hai and specifically sent Sun Hai an additional message.

After finishing all this, Tang Ye took a deep breath.

The reason he wanted to facilitate the positive publicity by the City Television Station!

It was not only to help Sun Hai clear his name, but also to stop the follow-up actions secretly planned by Shen Mingcheng.

After watching this news, Shen Mingcheng sat in silence in the living room for a long time.

It was clearly a promotion for a Tianling County enterprise.

But it was a heavy slap to his face.

Didn't you say Sun Hai was involved in organized crime?

The person is clearly helping a special group in society!

Shen Mingcheng knew that someone must be pushing this matter behind the scenes.

Could it be Du Chengfeng?

Shen Mingcheng felt as if he had thrown a punch into cotton!

Shen Mingcheng dialed Wei Hua's number.

Wei Hua was currently at a mahjong table; seeing Shen Mingcheng's call, he was somewhat surprised and gave a wink to the woman beside him: "I'm taking an important call. You play this round for me; if you lose, it's on me, and if you win, we split it fifty-fifty."

"Wei Bureau Chief, go ahead and take your call with peace of mind. I guarantee I'll win a big pile by the time you get back!" The woman gave Wei Hua a flirtatious look and sat in his seat.

Wei Hua squeezed the woman's shoulder and walked to the adjacent private room.

"Secretary Shen, do you have any instructions?"

Shen Mingcheng said in a deep voice: "Regarding the cooperation with Haichen Transportation Engineering Company, it cannot be canceled for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hua was greatly shocked: "Secretary, wasn't this already decided? We were going to hand those projects to Zhu Jun."

Shen Mingcheng interrupted impatiently: "The situation has changed. You explain it to Zhu Jun and tell him to wait a bit longer."

Wei Hua was unwilling to give up and bitterly advised: "Secretary Shen, Zhu Jun is quite sensible; he spent a lot of effort and cost to get these projects. If we don't give him an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be justifiable!"

Shen Mingcheng sensed that there was something fishy between Wei Hua and Zhu Jun and slapped the table in anger: "Wei Hua, I have reminded you to be mindful of your actions! Your current position is critical; if you lack resolve, it is very easy for problems to arise."

Wei Hua heard that Shen Mingcheng was angry and sighed lightly: "Secretary Shen, didn't we agree to set a trap to kick Sun Hai out and let Zhu Jun's company take his place? Changing our minds suddenly, I really have no way to explain it to Zhu Jun."

Shen Mingcheng said in a deep voice: "It's not that I'm going back on my word; it's that Sun Hai just accepted an interview with the television station today and received positive publicity. If we kick him out at this time, wouldn't we be going against the attitude of those above?"

Wei Hua was incredulous: "Publicized by the television station? But he's involved in organized crime!"

Shen Mingcheng explained: "Logically speaking, his hiring of people released from prison does indeed bury hidden dangers for the company's operations. But looking at it from another angle, he solved the employment problems for these people, which is valuable to society. In the end, on this issue, the other side used a more brilliant and broader perspective to explain the employment relationship. If we still dwell on this point, we will obviously be labeled with the crime of discriminating against reformed personnel."

Wei Hua was speechless: "I will tell Zhu Jun this news right away."

Shen Mingcheng tried hard to control his low spirits: "Let him wait a little longer. There will be many new projects at Tianling later on, and there will be opportunities for him!"
