Chapter 755: The Duck Knows First When the Spring River Warms!

Although his work schedule was packed,

Secretary Liu still specifically set aside enough time

to have a one-on-one exchange of thoughts with Tang Ye.

For a Deputy Division Level Official, this was a golden opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.

Fang Chengxin secretly thought that Tang Ye had good luck.

With Secretary Liu's care, his upcoming work in Dayu County would become increasingly smooth.

Tang Ye was very clear-headed!

What looked like luck actually came from strength.

Only because he had achieved results would those above give him so much support.

……

Secretary Liu left.

Tang Ye and Fang Chengxin saw him downstairs.

Before parting, Secretary Liu shook hands with Tang Ye once more before ducking into the car.

Tang Ye felt fully encouraged!

Fang Chengxin said regretfully, "I have to go to the city this afternoon for a meeting and can't accompany you. I'll have Section Chief Shi take you out for a meal!"

"Brother Fang, there's no need to trouble Section Chief Shi. I have my own plans for the evening," Tang Ye declined with a smile.

Fang Chengxin paused for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, then I won't make extra arrangements. If you run into anything later, just let me know."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Fang Chengxin indeed had important matters to handle at the moment.

Otherwise, he would certainly have invited Tang Ye to be a guest at his home.

……

After parting with Fang Chengxin, Tang Ye first returned to the hotel to rest for a while.

Just then, the sound of the doorbell came from outside the door.

Tang Ye got up, walked over, and opened the door.

Ma Ran walked in, his tone carrying a hint of anxiety, "County Magistrate Tang, Secretary Ou is looking for you—he couldn't get through to your cell phone, so he contacted me."

Only then did Tang Ye remember that he had turned off his phone during the meeting.

Later.

He had also chatted privately with Secretary Liu for a long time, and he hadn't turned it back on until now.

"I understand, I will call Secretary Ou back right now."

Tang Ye immediately took out his phone and turned it on.

As the screen lit up, quite a few text messages and missed calls popped up all at once.

The news that Secretary Liu had expressed at the symposium that he would provide fifty million in fiscal support to Dayu County had already spread.

Tang Ye dialed Ou Xiye's number.

"Secretary Ou, I am truly sorry. I was reporting on work to Secretary Liu just now, so my phone was off. By the way, I was just about to report some good news to you.

Today at the meeting, Secretary Liu explicitly stated that he would increase fiscal support for our Dayu County by fifty million!"

Upon hearing this, a look of excitement instantly appeared in Ou Xiye's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "I was looking for you precisely for this matter! I heard the news from someone else and wanted to confirm it with you. With your word, I am completely relieved!"

Tang Ye added, "I estimate that these funds will not be transferred in a lump sum; it is highly probable they will be allocated successively."

Ou Xiye smiled and replied, "Being able to get the city to take the initiative to allocate funds to our Dayu County in itself shows that the city recognizes our work! As for exactly when the money arrives, in the final analysis, it depends on human effort!"

He knew clearly in his heart that he would definitely have to arrange for someone to keep an eye on and follow up on these funds, and urge them in a timely manner; he was already mentally prepared for this.

Tang Ye could feel Ou Xiye's excitement and immediately responded, "Yes, Secretary Ou, please rest assured. I will follow this matter through to the end and will certainly strive to have the city allocate the funds to our Dayu County as soon as possible. Once this money arrives, it can be used to solve the compensation issue needed for the adjustment of the teaching staff structure. I have already reported this matter to Secretary Liu."

"I trust you most when it comes to getting things done," Ou Xiye said with a relieved smile, then asked, "When are you returning to the county?"

Tang Ye replied, "I'll be back tomorrow."

Ou Xiye responded with an "Mm," and then urged, "Take care on the road."

After hanging up on Tang Ye, Ou Xiye stood up from his seat with a "whoosh."

He paced back and forth in the office several times before he could barely recover from the immense surprise.

He had originally thought that Tang Ye's trip to the city for the meeting was just a formality and hadn't expected any gains, never anticipating that the other party would actually bring back such big good news.

Fifty million in municipal fiscal allocation!

For Dayu County, which was trying to escape its predicament, this was like sweet rain after a long drought!

……

The cell phone rang, bringing Ou Xiye back to reality.

An old classmate from the City Agricultural Bank had called.

"Old Ou, I really tried my best. I reported your county's loan application to those above, but it was rejected. The lending authority I have in my hands is at most five hundred thousand; if you need it, you can come to the city to sign the contract at any time."

Ou Xiye heard the awkwardness in his old classmate's words and hurriedly said, "You've already put your heart into this matter; the loan isn't that urgent anymore!"

The old classmate was somewhat surprised: "How so? Did you find a solution?"

Ou Xiye was in a good mood, but since the matter hadn't been fully finalized, he didn't want to be high-profile about it, so he only said, "When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road; five hundred thousand won't solve the current problem, so I'll think of other ways!"

The old classmate secretly curled his lip, muttering to himself: Is Ou Xiye putting on airs? He doesn't even look at five hundred thousand anymore! But aloud he said, "I'm really sorry I couldn't help you!"

"Don't say that at all, you've already been kind enough. After I finish with this busy spell, I'll make a special trip to the city to treat you to a meal."

"Alright, then I'll wait for your notice."

Hanging up the phone, the old classmate couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Although Ou Xiye was a County Party Secretary, he served in a National-level Poverty-stricken County and couldn't compare to the secretaries of those wealthy counties.

It is often said that "a clean prefect in office for three years earns one hundred thousand silver snowflakes," but such a thing simply does not exist when it comes to Ou Xiye!

He has served as County Party Secretary for nothing!

Just at this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

The voice of his immediate superior came in: "Old Feng! Come to my office for a moment!"

Feng Kaishan frowned, stood up, and walked into his immediate superior's office.

"Old Feng, you and Secretary Ou of Dayu County are old classmates, right?"

"That's right, we were high school classmates and lived in the same dormitory back then."

The immediate superior handed Feng Kaishan a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"I just received some news that the city is going to provide a sum of financial support to Dayu County in the near future, about fifty million. Do you think you could communicate with your old classmate and have this capital deposited into our bank?"

Feng Kaishan's eyes widened in an instant!

No wonder Ou Xiye suddenly said he wouldn't take out a loan just now.

So that was it!

Dayu County had come into a windfall!

He hurriedly replied: "I will contact Ou Xiye right away, but I have no certainty that it will succeed. After all, he applied for a loan with us before and was rejected!"

The immediate superior waved his hand: "Times have changed! Although Dayu County is still a poverty-stricken county, the situation is getting better and better right now; you must maintain a good relationship with your old classmate."

Feng Kaishan replied: "I will keep that in mind."

Coming out of his immediate superior's office, Feng Kaishan could not help but laugh at himself.

He had to admit that he had indeed underestimated Ou Xiye's luck before.

Fortunately, he had been mindful of their old classmate friendship and had not chilled Ou Xiye's heart!

"The ducks are the first to know when the spring river water warms"!

Whether a place has development potential.

The banking sector will be the first to get a sense of it.

Fifty million is the fiscal guidance fund.

It can bring at least a tenfold leverage effect!

Looking at it this way!

Dayu County is definitely about to welcome a great development!
