Chapter 678: Gaining the Support of Secretary Ou!

Jiang Anbang picked up the report and flipped through a few pages quickly, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his tone carrying a hint of skepticism:

"I can tell a lot of thought went into this report, but how many days has Tang Ye been in Dayu County? He doesn't understand our county's situation at all. I'm afraid this report is just armchair strategy with no practical executive power, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, a look of deep emotion appeared at the corners of Ou Xiye's mouth: "Comrade Anbang, you still underestimate his determination."

"Actually."

"He arrived in our Dayu County as early as half a month ago."

"It's just that he didn't report to the government right away; instead, he went to the labor market to find a temporary job, blending in with the grassroots to collect first-hand information and data."

"So, the 'armchair strategy' you speak of simply does not exist."

"What?"

Jiang Anbang suddenly looked up, a monstrous wave surging in his heart.

Tang Ye had actually come to Dayu County for an undercover investigation half a month in advance?

This kid was far too calculating!

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that Tang Ye had told Ou Xiye all of this.

Yet he, the County Magistrate, had been kept in the dark, like an outsider.

For a moment, Jiang Anbang only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, an indescribable sense of depression!

Ou Xiye seemed to see through Jiang Anbang's thoughts: "We discussed how to get along with the new comrade before we arrived; actually, we can look at it from a different angle."

"The municipal level is extremely dissatisfied with Dayu County's development over the past few years. This time, they actively fought for an Exchange Cadre from the provincial level to change our way of thinking; this is a reinforcement for our team."

"I have carefully conducted a background check on Comrade Tang Ye's resume; he possesses the ability for investment attraction, industrial layout, and project initiation. This is something we can utilize."

Jiang Anbang looked at Ou Xiye in surprise, because it was rare for Ou Xiye to be so open and sincere with him.

The meaning was clear: he hoped he could support Tang Ye in performing "surgery" on some of Dayu County's ailments.

The outside world all thought Ou Xiye was a rigid, stubborn, and unenterprising Class Monitor, but in fact, this was a misunderstanding of Ou Xiye.

Since Ou Xiye had served as County Party Secretary, there had clearly been many actions taken, but the foundation of Dayu County was too poor; whether it was industry, the service sector, or agriculture, there was nowhere to start.

Many cadres from other places were xenophobic, and the officialdom of Dayu County was the same, but that had to be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Tang Ye had come with a cross-provincial talent project; as long as they cooperated well with Tang Ye and didn't cause him trouble, there would definitely be resources.

Therefore, Ou Xiye had long since set his mindset right: to give Tang Ye enough space to let him unleash his energy.

Especially a few days ago, when Tang Ye specifically sought out Ou Xiye and produced the results of his early arrival in Dayu County, where he had privately entered enterprises to conduct a first-hand investigation of the local situation.

This did not cause Ou Xiye any anger; on the contrary, it brought a sense of appreciation.

It was just that Jiang Anbang did not seem to have set his mindset right yet.

After Ou Xiye's reminder, Jiang Anbang also gradually grasped Ou Xiye's thinking.

"Secretary Ou, please rest assured, on this matter, I respect your decision!"

Seeing that Jiang Anbang was willing to listen to his advice, a look of satisfaction appeared on Ou Xiye's face, and he immediately sighed, saying in a grave tone,

"If you want to grow good crops in barren soil, you must have the courage to break the cauldrons and sink the boats; both you and I must be mentally prepared."

……

Jiang Anbang returned to his office with a complicated mood.

Not long after, the office door was knocked, and Jiang Anbang called out, "Come in."

A middle-aged man with a bloated figure and short stature walked in.

This person was Wei Min, the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of industrial economy.

"County Magistrate Jiang, you have to say a fair word; the Coal Bureau is not under Tang Ye's jurisdiction, so why is he meddling?"

Wei Min had heard wind that Tang Ye was preparing to use Gao Feng as an entry point to investigate the chaos in the county's coal industry.

So he took the initiative to find Jiang Anbang, wanting to find support.

Jiang Anbang glanced at Wei Min indifferently,

"I just communicated with Secretary Ou about this matter. Tang Ye intervened in this matter this time to resolve a crisis. Although the Coal Bureau is not under his jurisdiction, emergency response and public safety are his areas of responsibility. He handled the problem very promptly and effectively this time."

"Regarding the problems of the Coal Bureau, I hope you will pay attention. According to Secretary Ou's wishes, anyone involved will be strictly investigated and dealt with."

Wei Min looked at Jiang Anbang in surprise, "County Magistrate Jiang, are we really going to investigate? The coal industry is very chaotic; it will uncover many problems."

Jiang Anbang tapped his finger heavily on the table twice, "This is scraping the bone to heal the wound; we cannot let the problems become even more serious."

Wei Min knew that Jiang Anbang had compromised.

"Understood, County Magistrate Jiang!"

After leaving the office, Jiang Anbang sighed silently; he hadn't expected that Tang Ye would cause such a big stir only a few days after arriving in Dayu County.

Although Tang Ye's rank was not as high as his own, behind him were the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, and even Huai Province; this was not someone he wanted to offend easily.

However, Tang Ye had moved many people's cheese, which also buried many hidden dangers for his own future.

At the rate Tang Ye was going, Dayu County would be turned upside down over the next two years.

Jiang Anbang had received some inspiration while talking with Ou Xiye.

There was no need to work against Tang Ye when getting along with him; one could even utilize Tang Ye to make Dayu County change its current situation.

Nowadays, many cadres in Dayu County were just muddling along, relying on the label of a national poverty-stricken county and remaining unenterprising.

Now, an outsider had disrupted their lives and told them that they must work hard from now on.

Perhaps this would bring a brand-new change to the team.

……

Tang Ye returned to the County Party Committee Compound and headed straight for the Party Committee Office.

Tang Ye placed a list in front of Ou Xiye.

Ou Xiye browsed through it quickly, his tone carrying frost, "I didn't expect the problems in here to be so serious!"

Tang Ye said sincerely to Ou Xiye, "Regarding Lu Guiping's behavior, although it caused an impact on society, that was a move of desperation on his part."

Ou Xiye sighed, "If we don't handle it at all and don't provide a result, that won't do either!"

Lu Guiping's behavior indeed suspected of disturbing public order.

Although no losses were caused, if it is not handled seriously, it is easy to incite imitation.

If people want to solve problems in the future, wouldn't they just be able to strap on some explosives and solve them?

Tang Ye understood the principle that the law allows for no mercy.

"I have already contacted Lu Guiping's wife. In order to go down with the ship, Lu Guiping drove her and the children back to her maiden home. We must appease the public's emotions, and we also have to make Lu Guiping and his family able to accept our proposed solution."

Ou Xiye said, "Fine, let this matter be handled according to your wishes!"

After Tang Ye left the office, County Party Secretary picked up the desk phone and dialed the number of the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary.

"Secretary Zhang, please come to the office for a moment!"

Zhang Yue walked into the County Party Committee Office and discovered that the atmosphere was not right.

Based on his understanding of the County Party Secretary.

This was about to launch a "special operation"...
