Chapter 706: County Magistrate Tang Has Clever Methods!

~8 min read 1,468 words

Jin Chunping had been exploring the path of running a school on her own for so many years.

She had heard plenty of cold sarcasm and was accustomed to the fickleness of human relationships, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that she finally had someone walking the same path.

"County Magistrate Tang, thank you for your recognition. Actually, I am not as great as you say."

She said with some embarrassment and humility.

Tang Ye smiled and shook his head:

"Persisting in doing an ordinary thing for over a dozen years is, in itself, not ordinary;

furthermore, you have taken root in grassroots education, helping poor female students in the mountains realize their university dreams!

This matter has not been ordinary from the very beginning!"

A warmth of "meeting a kindred spirit" surged in Jin Chunping's heart.

She said candidly: "County Magistrate Tang, actually, when I went to find you that day, I didn't hold much hope for the promises you made at the time. I even thought you would be like those who came before, just giving me a few perfunctory words."

"This is because the Government previously overspent its credit, which is why you have such concerns. Please rest assured, we will definitely rebuild the Government's credibility from now on. As long as it is something we have promised, we will certainly fulfill it one by one.

By the way, there is one more thing I would like to discuss with you regarding today's inspection.

For this corporate donation, we plan to hold a donation ceremony. The City Television Station will come to interview us at that time, and we will also invite some influential media from within and outside the province to interview you and the school."

Jin Chunping nodded vigorously: "County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate well."

Tang Ye continued: "In the future, you may need to have more contact with the outside world, letting more people know about the work you are doing and what support the Women's High School still needs—the Government also wants to build you up as a typical figure at the grassroots level.

In this way, your workload will certainly increase quite a bit, but it can bring more visibility to the Women's High School, allowing more kind-hearted people to see the story of the Women's High School and be willing to join in and help."

Jin Chunping could fully understand Tang Ye's painstaking efforts and thanked him again:

"County Magistrate Tang, I understand what you mean. On behalf of the children, thank you for your painstaking efforts."

Tang Ye waved his hand again, his tone sincere: "Principal Jin, please don't say that.

You are the Founder of the Women's High School; if it weren't for you, these girls might be trapped in the mountains for the rest of their lives, unable to walk out.

You are their guide; I am merely doing my small part."

"Alright, the meal is finished, and we should be leaving now."

Jin Chunping hurriedly stood up and said with some apology: "I am really sorry, I didn't prepare in advance today and didn't host everyone properly."

Tang Ye hurriedly waved his hand, his tone serious: "No, Principal Jin, your arrangements today were excellent. If you had really served big fish and meat, it would have made us feel uneasy and ashamed instead.

Moreover, it is time for us cadres to see the actual situation of the Dayu Women's High School with our own eyes, so that we can reflect on which aspects of our own work have not been done well."

The cadres participating in the research all showed sheepish expressions on their faces.

Tang Ye led the accompanying people out of the cafeteria and got back into the sedan.

The Principal's assistant opened the envelope, saw that there was nearly one thousand yuan inside, and hurriedly handed it to Jin Chunping.

Jin Chunping stood where she was.

Watching the sedan gradually drive away, a warm current surged in her heart.

She did not fear the bitterness of running a school, nor did she fear the poor conditions;

what she feared most was that her persistence would not be understood by others.

Now, the dawn had appeared...

In the afternoon, Tang Ye visited several enterprises in the county again and provided them with ideas for breaking through their predicaments.

These enterprises were able to gain a firm foothold in a place with such difficult conditions as Dayu County and still achieve certain results; they truly had commendable aspects.

However, these enterprises were generally small in scale, and the vision and perspective of the people in charge were also limited!

This was precisely the area that urgently needed improvement.

Tang Ye immediately thought of E-commerce.

Perhaps.

This emerging business model could bring new changes to the enterprises.

Qiao Lin had been busy with Tang Ye for a whole day, and his impression of Tang Ye had also undergone a brand-new understanding and change.

He had originally thought that Tang Ye was here to gild himself and enrich his personal resume.

But after spending time together, he discovered that Tang Ye sincerely wanted to bring some actual changes to Dayu County.

Now, he felt both a bit of admiration for Tang Ye and a mix of slight resentment; his heart was truly a complex mix of feelings.

After inspecting the last enterprise, Tang Ye instructed Qiao Lin on the way back to the County Government: "Director Qiao, the donation ceremony is to be held at the Women's High School next Friday. You must prepare it carefully; the City Leader will come to attend at that time."

Qiao Lin did not know that Tang Ye had already contacted Fang Chengxin privately, and immediately replied: "Alright, I will formulate a detailed plan after I go back."

Tang Ye had spent some time with Qiao Lin and found that Qiao Lin was quite slick in his work, which indeed made him very suitable for the position of Government Office Director.

But, at the same time.

One could always detect a bit of cunning and hypocrisy in Qiao Lin.

Tang Ye's state of mind had changed, and although he did not like Qiao Lin as a person.

When interacting with Qiao Lin, he would not easily reveal too many personal emotions.

Tang Ye was here to exchange and learn; he needed to promote the improvement of the local political ecology without triggering too much volatility, so he had to handle the situation with proper measure.

After returning to the County Government, Qiao Lin received a call from Jiang Anbang.

Jiang Anbang wanted to understand the movements on Tang Ye's side.

As soon as he entered the County Magistrate's office, Qiao Lin could not help but pour out his grievances.

"County Magistrate Jiang, that newly arrived Deputy County Magistrate has very clever methods!"

Jiang Anbang looked at Qiao Lin in surprise and asked: "What happened?"

Qiao Lin sighed with emotion: "At noon, I had originally arranged for us to dine at an enterprise, but he showed his displeasure on the spot and suddenly changed the itinerary, going directly to the Dayu Women's High School for lunch. You should be clear about the situation at the Dayu Women's High School; they didn't have time to prepare at all, or one could even say they were completely unprepared. That lunch was incredibly awkward. However, the Reporter's evaluation of Tang Ye is quite high!"

Jiang Anbang touched his chin and said with a frown: "Tang Ye is here for an exchange; it is normal for him to value his reputation and political achievements. This point is understandable. You should still cooperate well where you are supposed to. His ability is indeed very strong, and Secretary Ou is also quite satisfied with him."

Qiao Lin keenly sensed the change in Jiang Anbang's attitude, immediately changing his choice of words and tone, and hurriedly said: "Actually, his personal ability is indeed outstanding. This time, he even helped Dayu Women's High School secure four million in charity funds, and requested that a donation ceremony be held in the near future, which requires me to come up with a plan first."

A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Jiang Anbang's eyes, and he asked: "Has the matter of the donation been confirmed?"

Qiao Lin realized that Tang Ye had not tipped off Jiang Anbang in advance, so he hurriedly explained: "He promised Jin Chunping in front of quite a few people today, and with a City Television Station Reporter present, it shouldn't be a bluff."

Jiang Anbang had originally thought that after Tang Ye secured two hundred million in investment, he wouldn't have any major moves in the short term.

Who would have thought!

There would be new moves again so soon!
