Chapter 756: Prestige Soars to the Extreme!
Knock, knock, knock...
The door was knocked on lightly.
Ou Xiye looked up and called out, "Please come in."
Jiang Anbang pushed the door open and walked in, his expression gloomy.
"What happened?"
"Secretary Ou, there is something I must report to you. The teacher screening and faculty structure adjustment in the education system have sparked widespread controversy.
I just received news that the city has received quite a few complaints.
Besides active teachers, some retired veteran comrades have also gotten involved.
Reporters have also intervened to investigate!
The Propaganda Department is trying to find a way to suppress the news!"
Ou Xiye rubbed his chin, his head instantly throbbing.
The teacher group was not a bunch of people easy to deal with.
They would petition or complain to the city at the drop of a hat.
The teacher screening and faculty structure adjustment were part of the fiscal slimming plan that Tang Ye was focusing on pushing.
This was aimed at Tang Ye!
"Comrade Anbang, you must withstand the pressure!" Ou Xiye said in a firm tone.
Displeasure appeared on Jiang Anbang's face, and he frowned as he replied: "I see Comrade Tang Ye's contributions to Dayu County. But regarding this matter, I really cannot agree. Anything involving money is very prone to major problems. As far as I know, your brother-in-law is also in the category to be cleared out according to Comrade Tang Ye's reform ideas."
Ou Xiye frowned tightly.
He had not expected Jiang Anbang to bring up his brother-in-law.
"Comrade Anbang, I can understand your feelings. But on this matter, I believe the two of us must maintain a unified opinion; we must give Tang Ye support.
By the way, there is good news I happen to be able to tell you: Secretary Liu has already promised at the Organization Department meeting to provide our Dayu County with fifty million in fiscal support!
Once this money arrives, we can provide compensation for the cleared-out teachers!
Therefore, the finances are ample!
Next, our Dayu County must have the determination to slim down, base ourselves on the long term, and thoroughly resolve these old, stubborn ailments!"
Jiang Anbang did not react for a moment; he was stunned before asking: "Secretary Ou, are you saying the city treasury is going to allocate fifty million to us?"
Ou Xiye nodded and said: "Yes! I have verified it with Comrade Tang Ye. Secretary Liu specifically kept Tang Ye behind to chat for a long time after the meeting. Do you know what this means?"
Jiang Anbang finally realized it then.
No wonder Ou Xiye's tune had changed!
He was even disregarding his own brother-in-law's rice bowl!
Tang Ye hadn't just attended the meeting; he had also secured fifty million in funds for Dayu County!
This was hitting a super jackpot!
For a moment, he didn't even know how to express his feelings!
Ou Xiye said earnestly: "Our Dayu County is ushering in a once-in-a-thousand-years development opportunity. You and I are the helmsmen; we must absolutely not let the direction go astray!"
Jiang Anbang quickly adjusted his emotions and immediately stated his position: "Don't worry, Secretary Ou. We have finally ushered in the current situation; we absolutely cannot let it be affected just because some noise has appeared!"
Jiang Anbang returned to his office.
Qiao Lin soon knocked on the door.
"County Magistrate Jiang, regarding the faculty structure adjustment, how should we handle it now? Many teachers are full of grievances and want to come to the County Party Committee Compound to demand an explanation!"
Jiang Anbang said in a calm tone, "I have just communicated with Secretary Ou about this matter; we will provide compensation for the teachers being persuaded to leave."
Qiao Lin was startled, "That is a huge sum of money! The finances will be very strained, and it might even affect the construction progress of the Smokeless Coal Factory."
Jiang Anbang waved his hand, "I just received news that the city is going to provide Dayu County with fifty million in fiscal support. Once the funds arrive, the compensation will be resolved."
Qiao Lin widened his eyes, "Is this true?"
Jiang Anbang sighed, "Absolutely true. Although Tang Ye likes to stir things up, he is indeed a lucky general. This funding was secured by him!"
Qiao Lin was incomparably depressed inside and said insincerely, "County Magistrate Tang is indeed capable. However, Tang Ye is only your deputy..."
Jiang Anbang directly interrupted Qiao Lin's words and took a serious look at Qiao Lin.
"Remember, stop playing those messy little tricks. This is my advice to you."
Qiao Lin walked out of the County Magistrate's office.
The entire County Party Committee Compound was discussing the fifty million in funds.
"Have you heard? County Magistrate Tang secured fifty million in funds from the city."
"This is the city's recognition and support for County Magistrate Tang's previous work."
"This money is special guidance funding for one-on-one assistance between Yanzhou and Hanzhou. It is said it was originally meant for another county. Because County Magistrate Tang performed outstandingly in Dayu County, he snatched it away."
"How can this be called snatching? This is obtaining these funds in a fair and aboveboard manner."
Hearing these discussions, Qiao Lin suddenly felt some regret.
Being insubordinate to Tang Ye and secretly setting up obstacles—this move was definitely a mistake!
Perhaps he should have continued to persist and tried to keep in step with Tang Ye.
However, there is no turning back once the arrow is fired!
County Magistrate's office.
Jiang Anbang dialed his wife's phone number.
"Tell our niece to be prepared!"
Chen Huihui did not react for a moment, "Prepare for what?"
"Prepare to be cleared out!"
"You are the County Magistrate, can't you even protect your own niece's job?"
Jiang Anbang patiently advised, "Your niece works at the school, but she fishes for three days and dries nets for two; many people have reported issues with her. Now that the education system is reforming, adjusting the faculty structure is imperative. I must set an example myself."
"Then what about Secretary Ou's brother-in-law? Will he be cleared out?"
"He will. As long as he is within the scope of the clearance, there is no room for negotiation! This is the trend of the times!"
……
"Dayu County has hope! A Tang Ye has arrived, and the poverty alleviation situation has been completely opened up!"
"I used to think Tang Ye loved to grandstand, but it turns out he is genuinely getting things done!"
"Fifty million in funds have entered Dayu County; this is just the beginning. There will certainly be many more enterprises joining the ranks to build Dayu."
"I heard the neighboring county is cursing! This money was originally meant for them."
In the Dayu County Party Committee Compound, news spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred.
Tang Ye's prestige soared to the extreme!
……
Zhang Lin left the conference room and locked himself in his office, sulking.
It is said that the Municipal Organization Department arranged an executive suite for Tang Ye.
Upon learning he was being treated differently, Zhang Lin was so angry his nose was crooked!
Damn it, they really don't take him seriously at all!
During this cross-provincial exchange, there will be resource linkage between cities.
According to the current trend, the linkage between Hanzhou and Yanzhou will see resources tilted toward Dayu County.
This means he will lose external help.
Zhang Lin must face the grim reality.
He originally thought that with the support of He Haiyang, he could compete with Tang Ye.
But, the reality is already laid out before him.
In the game of horse racing, he has been left far behind by Tang Ye.
Not only has he fallen behind!
The other cadres who came to Shaan Province for the exchange have also fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Tang Ye is truly too awesome!
A heaven-collapsing start!
Dayu County is such a poverty-stricken place!
Three months of time!
And he completed a desperate counterattack!
Indisputable!
Tang Ye is the biggest dark horse among the exchange cadres this time!
Although he was full of anger toward Tang Ye, Zhang Lin still dialed Tang Ye's number……
