Chapter 639: A Stronger Enemy Appears!

Shen Minghan left the prison and returned home; after entering the house, she collapsed onto the bed, burying her head and sobbing painfully.

She did not know how much time had passed when a gentle touch came to her shoulder. Shen Minghan slowly turned her body and saw He Haiyang's concerned gaze; for a moment, she could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into He Haiyang's arms.

"Haiyang, I saw Mingcheng today. He has lost so much weight and has injuries on his face. He must have been bullied inside."

He Haiyang gently patted Shen Minghan's back and comforted her, "You going to visit Mingcheng today counts as a signal. From now on, the prison will pay special attention and care to Mingcheng. Later, I will also find ways to ensure Mingcheng suffers as little as possible."

Shen Minghan wiped away her tears and looked at her husband with guilt, "I've caused you trouble."

Although He Haiyang and Shen Minghan were introduced to each other, their feelings for one another were very good. Seeing such a major problem occur in his wife's family, he felt quite a sigh of regret deep in his heart.

"You are being too formal. We are husband and wife; whatever problems there are, we will face them together." He Haiyang appeared very magnanimous.

Shen Minghan composed her emotions, "I asked Mingcheng. It is the Du Chengfeng family behind this, playing tricks!"

A complex look appeared in He Haiyang's eyes, "Du Chengfeng has a very good reputation. He is currently a Standing Committee Member of the Hanzhou City Municipal Committee and has earned the trust and heavy reliance of the Municipal Party Secretary. He will have good prospects ahead. When I originally chose to let Mingcheng go to Tianling County, I had this consideration as well; they are relatives, and he could provide care in secret."

Shen Minghan bit her lip, her lip appearing as if it were about to bleed.

"Chen Lan's mother and Du Chengfeng's wife have always had a very poor relationship. After Mingcheng arrived in Tianling, Chen Lan suddenly became very close with the Du Family, and subsequently, the relationship between Chen Lan and Mingcheng deteriorated to the point of divorce. I think this is Du Chengfeng's wife playing tricks behind the scenes."

He Haiyang felt his wife's speculation was a bit far-fetched; there might be conflicts between sisters, but it shouldn't be this twisted.

"Officialdom is a battlefield where you cannot see blades or guns. Mingcheng's handling of problems in Tianling was indeed inappropriate; that is the key reason. Of course, it is also regrettable that Du Chengfeng did not look at the fact that they were relatives to dissuade or secretly help Mingcheng." A trace of anger was hidden in He Haiyang's eyes.

Shen Mingcheng's move to Tianling was something He Haiyang had orchestrated in secret.

He Haiyang had spent a great deal of effort secretly cultivating an important pawn, only for it to be wasted in such an inexplicable way.

Like spending money and dumping resources in a game, cultivating a Department-level Official might not be difficult;

but, the difficulty of cultivating a Department-level County Party Secretary is much greater.

According to He Haiyang's plan, once Shen Mingcheng finished his term in Tianling and returned to the province, he would immediately be arranged a Deputy Department-level position, and after another term, he could be sent down to a locality to serve as a Standing Committee Member with real power.

Within ten years, Shen Mingcheng could be promoted to Department Level; by then, he would be under forty-five years old, and he could then go on to challenge for a Deputy Ministry Level Official position.

However, now that all previous efforts were wasted, Shen Mingcheng could only go into business and could not become his most reliable support.

He Haiyang had originally planned to find an opportunity to draw closer to Du Chengfeng.

Although Du Chengfeng was older, he still had a chance to challenge for the Department Level.

But, Du Chengfeng not only failed to give him face but also ruined his brother-in-law's future, which made He Haiyang incredibly furious.

Did Du Chengfeng not know what the result of offending him would be?

Du Chengfeng might be an honest official, but to advance further, he needed the approval of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.

Additionally, He Haiyang also learned that Du Chengfeng's son-in-law was also in politics.

Du Chengfeng might not have any more ambition for his own career, but did he want to cut off his son-in-law's future?

Du Chengfeng was truly too immature in how he handled problems.

He Haiyang would not necessarily target Du Chengfeng, but at a critical moment, he certainly would not give him a hand.

"Haiyang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

He Haiyang nodded slightly, "Go ahead, what is it!"

Shen Minghan hesitated, but after a complex psychological struggle, she finally made up her mind, "I want to adopt the child in Gao Xiaoqing's womb after it is born."

A flash of surprise crossed He Haiyang's eyes, and he sighed immediately after, "I support your decision. Gao Xiaoqing and Mingcheng had an ill-fated relationship; this is Mingcheng's child and also your relative. However, will Gao Xiaoqing agree?"

A flash of disgust crossed Shen Minghan's eyes, "She is just a calculating, selfish, and cunning woman. As long as she is given satisfactory benefits and promises, she absolutely will not refuse."

He Haiyang took Shen Minghan's hand and said with a smile, "You can just make the decision on this matter."

Shen Minghan was moved to tears and hugged He Haiyang tightly, "Husband, thank you for being able to understand me."

A trace of satisfaction appeared at the corners of He Haiyang's mouth, "You're being formal with me again!"

After soothing Shen Minghan, He Haiyang returned to the study and took a list out of the drawer.

This list was the list of young cadres participating in the province-wide cadre exchange this time.

The name in the first position was particularly eyesore.

Tang Ye, 30 years old, Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Suiyuan County, Hanzhou City, holds a Master's degree from Qiongjin University...

He Haiyang drew an 'X' over the name.

This cross-regional exchange activity with the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee Organization Department was an important opportunity for training for Deputy Division Level Officials.

The age limit was very strict, requiring them to be under thirty-five years old.

After a two-year observation period, upon returning, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department would include them in the core Reserve Cadre pool.

This Reserve Cadre pool was the reservoir for core leaders of cities and prefectures.

In other words, they would definitely be promoted to Deputy Department-level in the future.

Tang Ye was submitted by the Hanzhou City Municipal Organization Department.

He Haiyang knew he was Du Chengfeng's son-in-law; naturally, it was impossible to let him enter this list easily!

He Haiyang then dialed a subordinate's phone number.

"Xiao Jin, I have looked at the exchange list you submitted to me previously. There is a candidate on this list that I think needs to be reconsidered."

"Minister He, may I ask for clarification?" Jin Jili asked cautiously.

"Comrade Tang Ye's resume is indeed satisfactory. However, his age is perhaps too young. This cadre exchange is intended to swap resources with Shaan Province, so every candidate needs to have solid strength. Tang Ye is still too young; having served in a Deputy Division Level position for less than a year, he has not accumulated enough resources, and there is no need for an exchange."

Jin Jili knew that this project was promoted by He Haiyang single-handedly, and his say was quite significant.

"Minister He, I understand what you mean. I will delete Tang Ye's information from the submitted materials!"

A smile appeared at the corners of He Haiyang's mouth, and he said with satisfaction, "Tang Ye is still young, only thirty years old. This project will be held regularly in the future. Two years later, when the first phase ends, he will only be thirty-two, and he will still have the opportunity to participate in subsequent exchange plans!"

Jin Jili laughed, "Minister He's consideration is very thorough. I will explain it properly to the Hanzhou City Municipal Committee."

After hanging up He Haiyang's call, Jin Jili felt it was quite a pity.

If Tang Ye could enter the Reserve Cadre targeted cultivation plan, it would be like catching a tailwind.

In the future, he was destined to have a place in Huai Province.

Two years, for a cadre on the rise, is too important.

It is a pity, I do not know in what way I offended Minister He!
