Chapter 65: Where Needed, There I Shall Be Tightened!

Tang Ye did not wait to speak.

Du Chengfeng took the initiative to help him out of the predicament!

"Today's matter has nothing to do with Xiao Tang's work style. The cake in Pinghu is too tempting, making many people restless, attempting to create chaos and fish in troubled waters."

Jiao Deyi listened to the subtext and felt somewhat disappointed!

The matter had already been settled, and Tang Ye had passed the test smoothly!

He hurriedly said with a smile, "Is that so? Sigh, there are good people and bad people among the masses! It is great that the matter could be properly resolved. The main thing is to communicate well with the Reporter; Secretary Du has gone to great lengths."

Du Chengfeng changed the subject, "Do you have something to see me about?"

Jiao Deyi glanced at Tang Ye, "I wouldn't come to the temple without a reason! It's a rather important matter."

Tang Ye knew Jiao Deyi wanted to report privately, so he took the opportunity to take his leave, "Secretary Du, I have follow-up work to handle, so I will be going first."

Du Chengfeng had not yet had the chance to properly celebrate with Tang Ye and share the joy, so how could he be willing to let Tang Ye leave just like that?

He waved his hand to stop him, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Comrade Deyi, are you here to talk about the Food City Project? Comrade Tang Ye has a very high level of expertise in project planning; listen in together. When everyone adds wood to the fire, the flames rise high; let's all put our heads together!"

It was as if Jiao Deyi had swallowed a fly; he said awkwardly, "This project still needs to be kept confidential for the time being."

Du Chengfeng waved his hand, "If the project is good enough and closely integrated with the Government's planning, there is no need for confidentiality. Display it openly and confidently; there is no need to hide it."

Jiao Deyi realized that the situation had changed!

Du Chengfeng's previous tone had been that this project was very thoughtful and creative, and could be highlighted at the City Investment Promotion Conference to make people's eyes light up.

Now, he did not value it as much!

Jiao Deyi had no choice but to take out the proposal document.

Du Chengfeng glanced at it roughly and handed it to Tang Ye.

Jiao Deyi's gaze was "stabbing" him!

Tang Ye was tactful and only took one look at the project summary.

Jiao Deyi had long since regarded him as an enemy who had snatched away his political achievements.

If he were to flip through the project, wouldn't that create an even greater conflict?

In officialdom, snatching someone's political achievements is not much different from killing their parents!

Moreover, this project could not be considered particularly creative; if one looked around the country, precedents could be found.

"Clear thinking, very beneficial." Tang Ye smiled.

Du Chengfeng realized that it was indeed inappropriate to have Tang Ye evaluate this project, so he changed the subject, "Comrade Tang Ye, I am assigning you a very important task. At next week's City Investment Promotion Conference, the Health and Wellness Town Project will be our county's main promoted project. You must seize the time to prepare the written materials. Strive to use this project to get more attention for Pinghu Town and attract more capital."

Tang Ye had already guessed this result, "Regarding the Health and Wellness Town, I have made quite a few preparations, and many things are already ready. I will send the materials to you later, and I will make additions according to your requirements."

Du Chengfeng patted Tang Ye on the shoulder with satisfaction, "You are steady in your work, and I am very reassured."

Listening to the conversation between Du Chengfeng and Tang Ye, Jiao Deyi was in a state of confusion.

"Secretary, isn't this year's City Investment Promotion Conference supposed to recommend our township's Food City Project?" Jiao Deyi was quite puzzled.

"It was originally intended to recommend the Food City Project, but things have changed. I just received news from the city that the Resort Project will be located in Pinghu! According to the requirements of the Municipal Party Committee, our county must focus on recommending Pinghu Town this year."

Jiao Deyi was dumbfounded, his mouth unable to close, "Wasn't that project said to be located in Jinshui Town?"

Du Chengfeng was in a good mood and had a strong desire to share, "It has been confirmed to be located in Pinghu! The first batch of construction funds will be three billion, and more funds will follow into the project. The project is long-term and will take at least ten years. Pinghu is about to usher in great development."

"This is truly a super big surprise!" Jiao Deyi said insincerely, "Congratulations to you, Town Mayor Tang. I didn't expect that your secondment to Pinghu would bring so many resources. Hey, why didn't you choose to be seconded to our Zhugou Township back then?"

Tang Ye hurriedly smiled modestly, "Thank you, Secretary Jiao, you flatter me. I am a screw; I will be tightened wherever I am needed. That Pinghu was able to secure a provincial-level project is entirely due to Secretary Du's correct leadership and careful care. I only did what I could."

Du Chengfeng patted Jiao Deyi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's see if there is an opportunity to recommend the Food City Project at next year's investment promotion conference!"

Jiao Deyi knew that the scale and volume of the two projects were incomparable, so he smiled tactfully, "Alright, then I will wait a bit longer..."

As Jiao Deyi walked out of the County Party Committee Compound, he suddenly felt a sense of desolation.

If nothing unexpected happened, the leading position of Tianling County was about to be lost!

He suddenly thought, should he borrow a Seconded Official from the city?

He immediately dismissed this useless idea.

Most Seconded Officials are just biding their time to build seniority; someone like Tang Ye who can transport resources and bring political achievements is one in ten thousand, something to be encountered but not sought.

He felt pathetic for Xu Yiping, who was in jail.

If Xu Yiping knew that Pinghu had secured the Resort Project, he would likely cry his heart out in the restroom.

Xu Qiao accompanied Tang Ye to the County Government.

She was not qualified to attend the County Party Committee meeting with Tang Ye and could only wait for news at the Letters and Visits Bureau.

The staff at the Letters and Visits Bureau never gave Xu Qiao a good look.

Xu Qiao could understand!

If things in the town could not be resolved and were taken to the county, it meant the work was not done well, causing trouble for them.

Tang Ye arrived at the office accompanied by Director Zhang of the Letters and Visits Bureau.

"Town Mayor Tang, please rest assured, in the future, if we encounter similar situations, we will definitely communicate with you in advance."

"The situation at the grassroots level is complex; thank you for your understanding, Director Zhang."

Director Zhang's attitude toward Tang Ye was extremely polite.

This surprised Xu Qiao a little!

The expressions of the staff also changed, no longer cold!

After Tang Ye and Xu Qiao left.

Director Zhang immediately held a short meeting.

In the future, if Pinghu encounters a similar situation, it must be handled on a case-by-case basis; do not put pressure on the grassroots Government, and do not kick the ball around casually!

The matter must be investigated clearly, and they must actively help lower-level departments solve problems.

Tang Ye and Xu Qiao took a car back to the Government.

Chen Zhihua appeared in Tang Ye's office very quickly.

Chen Zhihua wore a smile and patted Tang Ye's shoulder firmly, "You've worked hard!"

Tang Ye instructed Xu Qiao, "Make a cup of tea for the Secretary; I am going to report the work to him."

Xu Qiao quickly brewed a cup of green tea and handed it to Chen Zhihua.

Chen Zhihua took a sip and said excitedly, "I just received a call from Secretary Du. I didn't expect that the provincial-level Resort Project would actually land in our Pinghu! You deserve the greatest credit!"

Xu Qiao was bending over to organize the documents on the desk; upon hearing this, she stopped her movements and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Tang Ye knew that paper could not wrap up fire, but he had not expected the news to spread so quickly.

He smiled faintly and remarked with emotion, "Such a large project means the task will be arduous!"

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Zhihua's eyes, "I have prepared myself mentally; this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity! We must firmly grasp this chance for the people of Pinghu."

Listening to the conversation between the top two leaders, Xu Qiao's heart was pounding.

She had long heard that there was a chance for the Resort Project to settle in Pinghu!

She hadn't expected it to actually come true!

No wonder Director Zhang of the Letters and Visits Bureau had such a drastic change in attitude!

Town Mayor Tang is too good at keeping things hidden.

On the way back, he hadn't revealed a single word of it!
