Chapter 851: Many People Have Made a Killing!

Yanzhou Television's evening news broadcast the proceedings of this signing ceremony.

Li Na sat in front of the television and watched the news quietly to the end.

The version of herself on screen was confident, poised, neither humble nor pushy, and radiated a certain vigor.

She had finally completed the task her father had entrusted to her, helping Hongling Group resolve its crisis.

Yet at this moment, her feelings were complex: she both wanted to see her father and tell him this good news;

and yet she dared not face him—she feared her father would know she had only survived by relying on the help of an "enemy."

If her father found out, he would surely be incredibly disappointed.

She opened her laptop and, seeing the netizen "Peaceful Days" online, tapped on the keyboard: "I feel like I'm standing at a crossroads, and I don't know which path is the right one to take."

"Peaceful Days" took about ten minutes to reply: "Then follow your feelings; feelings are often the most accurate."

A gentle smile appeared at the corners of Li Na's mouth, and she typed: "What if my feelings are wrong?"

"Peaceful Days" sent a smiley face: "There's nothing to worry about even then. Who can clearly say what is wrong and what is right? There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome; everything is the best arrangement."

Li Na sighed softly and typed: "Every time I chat with you, I feel very healed."

"Peaceful Days" sent an invitation: "I'm quite curious about you too, and chatting with you is very comfortable. Why don't we meet up?"

Seeing the words "meet up," Li Na suddenly felt a bit panicked and hurriedly refused: "Let's not meet; I'm afraid I might scare you."

"Peaceful Days" sent a terrified emoji: "How could that be? I think you must be exceptionally beautiful."

"No, I am very ugly; I would definitely disappoint you!"

Li Na chatted with "Peaceful Days" intermittently for nearly an hour, after which both sides said goodnight to each other.

She found her state of mind much more peaceful, and immediately sent a message to her Secretary: "Make arrangements; I want to go see my father in the next few days."

……

Tang Ye returned to Dayu County from Zhangping County.

Just as he walked into his office, Xing Zhijun knocked on the door.

Tang Ye poured a cup of tea for Xing Zhijun.

Xing Zhijun took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "I heard Zhang Lin has confessed everything inside. The case has been classified, and the Municipal Working Group has officially entered Zhangping County."

Tang Ye nodded and said: "Indeed, that spineless Zhang Lin couldn't handle the pressure; he was bound to confess sooner or later."

Xing Zhijun looked at Tang Ye and asked softly: "The Municipal Organization Department will be sending a working group down soon to talk to Secretary Wu, saying they want to transfer him to Zhangping County to serve as Acting County Magistrate. Is there any truth to this?"

Tang Ye smiled faintly: "There is no smoke without fire!"

Xing Zhijun nodded slightly: "It seems the other rumor is true as well?"

Tang Ye knew it was the rumor about him being promoted to Deputy Secretary and waved his hand: "Everything is still subject to change!"

Xing Zhijun understood Tang Ye's character, smiled, and said: "In my view, based on your contributions, you should be promoted by a level."

Tang Ye smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, the commendation order from the city for you should have arrived by now, right?"

Xing Zhijun laughed: "Yes, they gave me a circular commendation. When it comes down to it, you were the one pushing things from behind the scenes; I was merely acting on orders."

Tang Ye patted Xing Zhijun on the shoulder: "No, your contribution is not small. If you hadn't stood up back then, this case would never have gone so smoothly! When a suitable opportunity arises, you can go even further."

A look of sincerity appeared in Xing Zhijun's eyes: "County Magistrate Tang, let me speak from the heart: being able to take down a piece of trash like Wang Kang is more satisfying than receiving awards or promotions! In fact, I had long heard of Wang Kang's scandals; he is not worthy of the police uniform."

Xing Zhijun still harbored resentment over the incident at the Zhangping County highway entrance where Wang Kang had pointed a gun at his head.

Now that Wang Kang was under investigation, it was truly a great relief for Xing Zhijun!

Tang Ye understood Xing Zhijun's feelings:

"Old Xing, I had a misunderstanding about you at first, thinking you were someone content with the status quo.

But after getting to know you better, I discovered there are many things about you worthy of my respect.

Moving forward, I hope we can have more cooperation in our work; as long as we trust each other, we can certainly accomplish many good things that benefit the common people."

Xing Zhijun suddenly felt his backbone stiffen!

"County Magistrate Tang, your analysis is very correct; I was indeed too comfortable before. I lost my fighting spirit and lost my way, but under your prodding during this time, I have re-examined my own heart.

I should not be someone who indulges in the status quo.

In the future, if you have any instructions, just say the word, and I will carry them out without fail!"

Seeing the change in Xing Zhijun, Tang Ye was quite gratified.

Using one's own energy to successfully influence others produces a very strong sense of satisfaction.

"By the way, there is one more thing to report to you!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

"The pickpocket gang you mentioned to me last time, the one you encountered when you first came to report for duty in Dayu County—we have successfully captured them!"

"Although theft is a small case, it affects people's livelihoods and the social atmosphere! Well done!"

Tang Ye clearly had not expected this.

He had just mentioned it casually during a chat, yet Xing Zhijun had taken it to heart.

Moreover, he had handled the matter very thoroughly!

Old Xing is becoming increasingly good at providing emotional value!

You have to know, Xing Zhijun was not this kind of person before!

It is just like a spirited horse; it must encounter a good judge of talent to demonstrate its value.

……

The Municipal Organization Department working group arrived in Dayu County and held a talk with Wu Guoyang.

Subsequently, news quickly spread through the Dayu County Government: Wu Guoyang was to be transferred to Zhangping County to serve as Acting County Magistrate.

Within the government compound, there was much discussion about this news.

"Secretary Wu is really lucky; he finally got his wish and resolved his Division Level status. County Magistrate Jiang always kept him suppressed; without this opportunity, he would likely have stopped at Deputy Division Chief."

"Zhangping County is a complete mess right now; County Party Secretary Wu is going over there to put out fires."

"So what if he's putting out fires? If he can produce results, he might even be able to advance further."

"Regardless, County Party Secretary Wu has really hit the jackpot this time."

"No, many people have hit the jackpot!"

Ma Ran listened to this gossip in the Government Compound and felt exceptionally cheerful.

With Wu Guoyang leaving, the position of the number three in the County Party Committee had opened up!

According to the current rumors, Tang Ye would most likely be able to fill the vacancy smoothly.

Although it would not resolve his Division Level status, the organization would take note of every minor rank adjustment when evaluating cadres.

The position of the third in the County Party Committee meant that once the position of County Magistrate became vacant, Tang Ye would be in the first position for succession;

Even if he were to vie for County Party Secretary, he would possess the qualifications to compete.

One must know that if one only serves as an Executive Deputy County Magistrate, it is usually impossible to directly succeed as County Party Secretary.

Furthermore, looking at Tang Ye's resume, his main contributions are concentrated in government posts, and he is actually still lacking in Party-building work. Therefore, for Tang Ye, if he can truly fill this vacancy, it will also be a very good addition to his resume.

"Director Ma, are you free lately? Shall we get together?" A deputy director from the County Party Committee Office took the initiative to greet Ma Ran.

"Sure, let's get together when we're free; I'll host." Ma Ran felt a bit surprised.

This deputy director from the County Party Committee Office was not close to him, so he did not expect him to take the initiative to contact him.

But thinking about it carefully, it was understandable!

This deputy director had heard the rumors and was paving the way for his future work.
