Chapter 745: Your Level Has Been Resolved!

"I have quite a lot of contact with Comrade Qiao Lin on a daily basis. Just as County Magistrate Jiang said, he is a person with ideas, and he is indeed diligent in his work. If he could serve as Deputy County Magistrate, I believe he would be able to adapt to the new position very quickly.

Of course, Secretary Zhang's concerns are also reasonable. After all, Qiao Lin is involved in economic issues; although he has confessed to his own problems, we must indeed consider the impact, and we cannot let the common people gossip behind our backs."

These words sounded like "fence-sitting."

Neither clearly supporting nor directly opposing.

In officialdom, not taking a side is sometimes a major taboo.

However, Tang Ye had just arrived and did not yet have a clear intention of which camp to join.

In Tang Ye's view, coming to Dayu County was about racking up political achievements.

He would not stay here for too long, so there was no need to waste too much energy competing for the right to speak.

Dayu County is a National-level Poverty-stricken County, like a doomsday battlefield in a fantasy novel.

Every bit of resource is precious.

Tang Ye must make good use of every resource and cannot afford to be distracted!

Ou Xiye wanted him to draw a clear line between himself and Jiang Anbang.

Tang Ye simply played dumb, keeping his attitude vague!

Jiang Anbang was very surprised inwardly.

He had originally thought that Tang Ye would clearly take an opposing stance.

This was, after all, underestimating Tang Ye's vision and stature.

Although Tang Ye looked down on Qiao Lin from the bottom of his heart, he would not go so far as to directly tear his face off with Jiang Anbang.

Up until now, Jiang Anbang had not done anything to make things difficult for him.

Besides.

There is no need to deliberately win over many "friends," but one must absolutely not take the initiative to make enemies!

"Let's not argue any further; let's decide by a show of hands. Those who agree to Qiao Lin entering the list of candidates for Deputy County Magistrate, please raise your hands."

One, two, three...

Out of the eleven Standing Committee Members, in the end, only four people raised their hands!

And as for Tang Ye, he kept his head buried very low throughout.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the notebook in front of him, as if he had completely forgotten about the vote.

What he said was flawless, and it carried the intention of catering to Jiang Anbang.

However, when it came to the voting stage, he did not put it into action.

Jiang Anbang's brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: he had already done his best.

As for that.

Although Tang Ye did not raise his hand.

But, the situation was already lost, and it did not lack this one vote of his.

Moreover, when expressing his stance, Tang Ye had also given Jiang Anbang plenty of face.

Among the Standing Committee Members present, there was another one "watching the fire from the other shore," and that was Deputy County Party Secretary Wu Guoyang.

In his view, Ou Xiye and Jiang Anbang had actually engaged in a secret skirmish, and a winner had been decided.

Jiang Anbang was undoubtedly the losing side!

One must know that as County Magistrate, the candidate for Deputy County Magistrate he personally nominated did not even make it onto the candidate list.

For him, that was a total loss of face.

According to Jiang Anbang's original idea, even if Qiao Lin didn't end up becoming Deputy County Magistrate, he should at least have been given a little face to let him enter the three-person candidate list first...

"Alright," Sui Mingjing put away the voting results and took out the second personnel arrangement document, "Next, let's begin discussing the candidate for Education Bureau Director."

Jiang Anbang had also pushed a candidate for the position of Education Bureau Director earlier.

This person was the former Deputy Bureau Chief of the Education Bureau, Sun Jun.

Sun Jun had a bad relationship with Chen Dongan and they were like fire and water, but his work attitude had always been very serious, and he was steady in his work.

This time, the appointment of the Education Bureau Director was passed very quickly.

On the surface, this personnel arrangement did not encounter any questioning, and County Magistrate Jiang got his wish.

However, having secured a Section Level position, he failed to keep this key Deputy Division Level position.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Anbang's loss was not small...

After the meeting adjourned, Tang Ye passed by Qiao Lin's office.

If it were in the past, Qiao Lin would have definitely stood up immediately and greeted him enthusiastically upon seeing him;

But today, Qiao Lin acted as if he didn't see him, not even lifting his eyelids.

Tang Ye didn't take it to heart.

As the saying goes, those with different Daos do not conspire together.

Tang Ye returned to his office and organized the materials on hand.

Seeing that it was getting late, he dialed the landline in Ma Ran's office.

"I'm a bit hungry, let's go out and get something to eat in a while!"

"Alright! County Magistrate Tang, what would you like to eat?"

"Let's have noodles!"

Tang Ye actually missed rice quite a bit.

However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; after arriving in Dayu County, his daily diet had been "surrounded" by various kinds of noodles, and he had gradually become accustomed to eating wheat-based food.

The two arrived at a small noodle shop near the County Party Committee Compound.

They each ordered a bowl of noodles.

Once the noodles were served, Tang Ye first took a sip of the warm noodle broth before speaking indifferently:

"Today I mentioned you to Secretary Sui and resolved your rank; you have been promoted to a First-level Staff Member. You need to prepare yourself mentally, as the relevant work of the Second Section of the Government Office will be handed over to you to take charge of."

According to regulations, promotion from Clerk to Second-level Staff Member usually requires two years;

Ma Ran had endured for two full years before finally managing to secure the status of Second-level Staff Member.

He had originally thought that he would have to wait at least another two years before he could reach the rank of First-level Staff Member.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ye had taken the initiative to help him get promoted early and even arranged a very important position for him.

The Second Section of the Government Office!

It is responsible for drafting documents, handling correspondence and meetings, and conducting inspections and research related to the work overseen and coordinated by the Executive Deputy County Magistrate of the County Government.

This meant that Ma Ran had passed Tang Ye's test!

Ma Ran's hand holding the chopsticks paused abruptly, his fingertips even trembling slightly.

He looked up at Tang Ye in surprise, his voice even stuttering:

"County Magistrate Tang, am I, am I, am I dreaming?"

Tang Ye smiled at Ma Ran, his tone calm and sincere: "You have been working in Dayu County for several years now, and you haven't worked less overtime or suffered less fatigue while following me recently. Giving you a reasonable arrangement is only right."

Ma Ran's eyes instantly turned red, hot tears swirling in them, his voice somewhat choked:

"County Magistrate Tang, thank you!"

Tang Ye joked with a smile: "Why are you crying? Hurry up and eat your noodles; they taste best while hot! By the way, you're treating today."

"Yes, I must treat!"

"How about we have some alcohol?"

Tang Ye suddenly proposed.

Ma Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Ye in surprise and hurriedly replied: "If you want to drink, of course I will risk my life to accompany you!"

Tang Ye couldn't help but joke with a smile: "It's not that I want to drink, it's that you want to drink."

Ma Ran scratched his head in embarrassment and admitted honestly: "You really hit the nail on the head! I do want to drink some alcohol, and I want to use the tipsiness to get good and drunk, just to drown my sorrows."

Tang Ye turned his head and waved at the waiter to order two bottles of white liquor, and only after the waiter put the liquor down did he turn back and say seriously to Ma Ran:

"Before we drink, you must promise me.

After finishing this meal, you must cast those worries completely to the back of your mind and stop overthinking them;

Starting tomorrow, we must focus wholeheartedly and do our work well!"

Hearing these words, Ma Ran's eyes felt slightly warm, and a surge of warmth flowed through his heart.

He was moved by Tang Ye's concern for him!

"Yes! Please rest assured, I will definitely devote my heart and soul to my career and will never let down your cultivation!"
