Chapter 786: Let Tang Ye Handle It!

Returning to his residence, Tang Ye opened his laptop and took the initiative to message Du Xi: "I'm online."

Du Xi replied quickly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Tang Ye logged into his account and sent a video request, which Du Xi accepted immediately.

At this moment, Xiao Qin was standing right beside Du Xi, so Tang Ye hurriedly greeted his mother-in-law with a smile: "Mom, long time no see!"

Xiao Qin responded with a smile: "I just wanted to take a look at you; I won't disturb you two."

Having said that, Xiao Qin turned and left the room, gently pulling the door shut behind her.

At this, Du Xi's expression suddenly became exceptionally serious, and she said in a commanding tone: "Stand up and spin around in place."

Tang Ye obediently spun around once, looking at Du Xi with a face full of confusion: "What's this for?"

Du Xi's eyes gradually turned red, and her voice carried a hint of choking back tears.

"You haven't video-chatted with me lately, so I guessed something must have happened to you. Later, Dad inquired about the situation and only then did I find out you were ambushed by a local gang and suffered very serious injuries."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You, why didn't you just ask me directly if you had something to say? Why go through such a big roundabout way? I did get injured, but it's not as serious as you think."

Du Xi bit her lip, her tone tinged with reproach: "You're just like this, always wanting to report the good news but not the bad. I heard your right arm was even fractured!"

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh; he immediately swung his arm around in a full circle flexibly and teased: "How about I perform a hundred push-ups for you right now?"

Du Xi was amused and chided: "Alright, alright, I believe you. You made me worry for nothing for so long. By the way, Minister Fang's wife recently sent me quite a few local specialties."

Tang Ye suggested with a smile: "Then you should practice reciprocity and send some things back to them."

Du Xi nodded slightly, then remembered something else: "There's one more thing you need to handle."

Tang Ye asked curiously: "What is it?"

Du Xi reminded him: "The college entrance exam is in a few days. You should give Mayor Jiang's daughter, Jiang Rou, a call. I think she really needs your support right now."

Tang Ye readily agreed: "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

Du Xi added: "Jiang Rou has made great progress recently; she even broke into the top ten of her grade in the last mock exam. At this level, she can completely aim for Shuimu University and Yanjing University."

The image of that "spirited girl" from back then surfaced in Tang Ye's mind, and he remarked with emotion: "Jiang Rou's changes are indeed quite significant."

Du Xi said with a smile: "Isn't that because of your influence?"

Tang Ye hurriedly waved his hands, denying it: "It has nothing to do with me; it's her own hard work."

Du Xi sighed softly and said in a low voice: "She has always taken you as her goal to strive for."

The two chatted for a long time, and seeing that it was getting late, they hung up the video call with great reluctance.

Putting down the computer, Tang Ye took a deep breath, a firm look gradually appearing in his eyes.

All along, his family had been the greatest motivation for his struggles.

Therefore, video-chatting with Du Xi was like recharging his batteries.

……

Early the next morning, when Tang Ye woke up, he discovered it was raining outside.

He put on a raincoat, ran a lap around the streets near his residence, and after showering, he calculated the time and dialed Jiang Rou's number.

Jiang Rou was eating breakfast and answered quickly, her tone carrying a hint of surprise: "Hey, you busy person, why are you suddenly calling me?"

Tang Ye said with a smile: "The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and I suddenly thought of you. I heard your mock exam results have shown obvious progress each time, and I'm especially looking forward to your performance in the college entrance exam now."

Jiang Rou, however, said crossly: "Are you calling just to intentionally add pressure to me?"

Tang Ye hurriedly shook his head: "How could that be? I hope you can go into it with a light heart. Even if you don't do ideally, it doesn't matter; you have other paths you can choose."

Jiang Rou couldn't help but retort: "Who talks like that? It's like you can't stand to see me do well, right?"

Tang Ye laughed out loud: "I sincerely hope you can get a good score; I don't want to see you go far away to another country in the future and become a 'fake foreigner'."

Jiang Rou said crossly: "Enough, enough, I regret answering this call from you!"

Tang Ye put away his joking manner, his tone becoming serious: "Then I'll keep it short: I wish you success in the college entrance exam and that you perform at your best."

On the other end of the line, Jiang Rou's delicate face showed shallow dimples, and she said softly: "With the blessing of a City Top Scholar like you, I feel my luck shouldn't be too bad."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment!

City Top Scholar?

That feels like such a distant thing now!

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rou took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth unable to stop curling upward.

In fact, she had been waiting for this call all along.

……

On the other side, Tang Ye cooked a bowl of noodles for breakfast, and after eating, he headed to the County Party Committee Compound to handle some daily official business.

Afterward, he set off for the County Education Bureau to attend the coordination meeting before the college entrance exam.

If Jiang Anbang didn't have an injury on his leg, he wouldn't have needed to attend this meeting;

but now that Jiang Anbang's leg hadn't fully recovered, this task had to be handled by Tang Ye.

Arriving at the venue, Tang Ye took the draft prepared by Qiao Lin, scanned it quickly, and then calmly placed it under his teacup.

Because he already had a poor impression of Qiao Lin, the draft he wrote was also hard for Tang Ye to look at.

Tang Ye simply chose to speak without the script to deploy the work.

He said steadily and forcefully,

"The college entrance exam is a major matter of public concern that the entire society pays close attention to. Exam security directly concerns the vital interests of the examinees and is even more related to social fairness and justice.

We are currently in a critical period where summer high temperatures and the flood season overlap. All relevant departments must unify their thinking, effectively enhance their sense of mission in doing a good job of ensuring the exam sites, and with the goal of 'zero errors, zero accidents, zero complaints,' go all out to implement every guarantee measure in detail to ensure that this year's college entrance exam work is foolproof.

College entrance exam security involves multiple departments such as education, environmental protection, public security, road safety, and law enforcement. All departments must cooperate closely and work together to effectively carry out comprehensive security work during the exam, including water and electricity supply, traffic guidance, food safety, noise control, and campus perimeter safety.

We must persist in being examinee-oriented, provide services with heart and soul, and create a comfortable and reassuring exam environment for the examinees.

At the same time, we must fully consider the impact of the weather on the examinees, plan in advance, deploy scientifically, and do a good job in heatstroke prevention, cooling, and flood control preparations;

set up temporary medical service points at each exam site, equipped with necessary heatstroke prevention medicines and first-aid equipment, to ensure that if an emergency occurs, it can be handled effectively at the first opportunity."

"In addition, it is necessary to strengthen psychological counseling for examinees, actively create a relaxed and pleasant examination atmosphere, and help examinees alleviate nervous emotions so they can welcome the college entrance examination in their best state..."

Sitting in the audience, Qiao Lin felt a complex mix of emotions.

Tang Ye had not used his draft, which inevitably left him feeling a bit dejected.

It really is a case of 'when there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey acts as king'!

After the meeting concluded, Tang Ye prepared to head to his next destination.

To inspect the implementation of flood prevention and water conservancy infrastructure.

Just as he walked out of the Education Bureau, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky, and the rain instantly intensified; Tang Ye could not help but knit his brows.

Ma Ran, sitting in the front passenger seat, took a call from Qiao Lin and said softly, "Secretary Tang, the rain is too heavy; Director Qiao suggests canceling today's inspection itinerary."

Tang Ye, however, shook his head, his tone firm: "Only by inspecting on a rainy day can we more clearly discover problems. If Qiao Lin is afraid of trouble, let him go back first!"

This remark, relayed by Ma Ran, reached Qiao Lin's ears word for word.

Qiao Lin only felt the alveoli in his chest were like lit firecrackers!

Crackling and popping for a thousand bursts!

Both angry and stifled.
