Chapter 856: Moving from Number Four to Number Three!

On July 10th, Dayu County convened the Standing Committee of the People's Congress.

An important item on the agenda for this meeting was the appointment and removal of cadres.

In addition to the previously proposed addition of a Deputy County Magistrate position,

Tang Ye was appointed as Deputy County Party Secretary and Standing Committee Member of Dayu County, and relieved of his duties as Executive Deputy County Magistrate.

Xing Zhijun was appointed as Dayu County Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary and concurrently as Director of the Public Security Bureau, and relieved of his duties as Deputy County Magistrate.

Shen Yuping was appointed as a Standing Committee Member of Dayu County, Deputy County Magistrate...

Seeing these glaring results, Qiao Lin sat in the audience, clapping mechanically.

All his efforts had come to nothing!

He had originally hoped to take a step forward with this People's Congress meeting and sit in the position of Deputy County Magistrate, but in the end, he hadn't even made it onto the list of candidates.

As for Tang Ye, he had taken an even bigger step forward!

He had moved from the number four position in the County Party Committee to number three!

Besides this, Xing Zhijun and Shen Yuping were also promoted; everyone knew that was because of Tang Ye!

The moment Xing Zhijun heard this result, his mood was hard to describe in words.

He had finally waited for this moment!

He had become a member of the Standing Committee as he had wished!

At the subsequent county-wide leadership cadre meeting, Fang Chengxin, Deputy Minister of the Municipal Organization Department, read out the work arrangements for Tang Ye.

"With the approval of the Provincial Party Committee and the decision of the Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Tang Ye shall serve as Deputy County Party Secretary of Dayu County, in charge of economic work, party-mass work..."

After the meeting concluded, Tang Ye hosted a banquet to entertain Fang Chengxin.

Regarding the previous "political earthquake" in Zhangping County, Fang Chengxin saw it clearly.

Tang Ye was both the person who stirred up the storm and the one who benefited from it.

This game of chess was played quite exquisitely.

One must know that Tang Ye did not have many resources in Dayu County.

From Fang Chengxin's perspective, the investigation into Zhang Lin counted as pulling out a thorn in his side ahead of schedule.

The so-called "one mountain cannot contain two tigers."

Yanzhou had two cross-provincial Exchange Cadres, which meant there was a conflict in resource allocation.

Tang Ye leveraged the situation to completely resolve his competitor.

It was equivalent to clearing out a potential rival early on.

Furthermore, through this series of operations, Tang Ye not only cleared away future obstacles but also freed up room for promotion, moving up from the number four position in the County Party Committee to the number three spot.

The path of officialdom is never a smooth one; the higher one goes, the more difficult it becomes, and every adjustment in seating is inseparable from the blessing of opportunity.

Tang Ye had taken another step forward in less than half a year!

The strategy and wisdom contained within were truly stunning.

"I'll have to change how I address you from now on; I can't call you County Magistrate Tang anymore, I have to call you Secretary Tang."

"Minister Fang, you flatter me." Tang Ye picked up his wine glass. "I'll toast you. If not for your secret assistance, this matter might not have been resolved so thoroughly, and I wouldn't have been able to avenge Reporter Meng."

Externally, Tang Ye always emphasized that his actions were to avenge a friend, which also gave him a bit more of a chivalrous air.

"How is Reporter Meng recovering?" Fang Chengxin asked with concern.

"She can already get out of bed and walk, but it will still take some time before she fully recovers," Tang Ye explained.

"Through this incident, I only just learned that your father is a well-known Neurosurgery Expert." Fang Chengxin smiled. "Perhaps there will be times in the future when I need your help."

Tang Ye replied readily: "Minister Fang, if you have any needs, just give the order. As long as I can do it, I will absolutely go all out."

Tang Ye's personality naturally made people feel close to him: he was loyal, sentimental, had high emotional intelligence, and handled himself with a good balance of tension and relaxation.

When Fang Chengxin left in the afternoon, Tang Ye stuffed quite a few local specialties into his trunk.

The Secretary found it somewhat unbelievable!

Minister Fang had asked him to send them to his home.

Minister Fang valued these local specialties so much; it truly lived up to the saying: the value of a gift is not in its cost, but in who is giving it.

The next day, Tang Ye attended the County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting in his capacity as Party Committee Deputy Secretary.

He was the third to last to arrive.

"Secretary Tang, hello!"

"Hello! Secretary Xing!"

As soon as he sat down, everyone took the initiative to come forward and shake his hand, expressing their congratulations.

Although Jiang Anbang's leg injury had not yet fully healed, he still insisted on attending the meeting.

"County Magistrate Jiang, how is your injury recovering?"

"It will still be another month before the cast can be removed!" Jiang Anbang sighed helplessly.

During this recent period, he had spent most of his time recuperating in the hospital.

Tang Ye had managed government affairs in an orderly fashion.

Jiang Anbang felt quite conflicted!

Jiang Anbang had always appreciated Tang Ye, but Tang Ye's sudden promotion this time still caught him by surprise, subsequently giving rise to a sense of crisis.

If he didn't know that Tang Ye was an Exchange Cadre and clear that he wouldn't be in Dayu County for long, Jiang Anbang would definitely have viewed Tang Ye as a major competitor.

Although Jiang Anbang was the number two figure in the County Party Committee with a rank of Division Level, at the Party Committee level, Tang Ye was his equal in status, as both were Deputy Secretaries;

The government operates under the guidance of the Party to carry out economic construction, so Tang Ye's say in matters went without saying.

In this cadre adjustment, besides Tang Ye, many others were promoted.

For example, the former Standing Committee Deputy County Magistrate Chen Qing was promoted to Executive Deputy County Magistrate, taking over Tang Ye's previous work;

As for Shen Yuping, she was also able to take a step forward and enter the Standing Committee.

Shen Yuping knew clearly in her heart that with her seniority, she would have had to wait at least another term to enter the Standing Committee. Being successfully selected this time was entirely due to Tang Ye recommending her to Ou Xiye.

Although Shen Yuping had not had much contact with Tang Ye recently, the three days of sharing weal and woe on Julong Mountain had already established a deep foundation of affection between the two.

Of course, Tang Ye also had his own considerations in promoting Shen Yuping.

After he took charge of Party affairs, although his work focus needed to be adjusted, he had already laid out his plans for government work and absolutely could not let go.

Therefore, he needed a reliable candidate to act as his reach.

Since Chen Qing was a trusted aide of Jiang Anbang, he naturally could not become his assistant, which was why he arranged for Shen Yuping to be in this key position.

What surprised Tang Ye was that his recommendation for Xing Zhijun was also approved by Ou Xiye.

In this way, among the thirteen Standing Committee members, counting himself, he had a total of three votes.

As the number three of the County Party Committee, he was not just a figurehead or a vase-like existence.

From the perspective of his career, having reached the position of number three of the County Party Committee, Tang Ye held more opportunities to "deal the cards."

Ou Xiye picked up the microphone and said softly: "The County Party Committee team has undergone a small adjustment; except for a few comrades, the rest are all familiar faces."

"Cooperating with each other will be more familiar and tacit."

"In view of the fact that Comrade Anbang is still recuperating, Comrade Tang Ye, in addition to familiarizing himself with Party affairs, also needs to take care of some government matters."

"Such as emergency management, investment promotion, and economic construction, which must still be undertaken by Comrade Tang Ye."

Jiang Anbang immediately echoed: "Comrade Chen Qing, although you have worked in the County Government for many years, you must still learn from and seek advice from Secretary Tang."

Chen Qing hurriedly replied: "Understood! If I encounter any problems, I will definitely consult Secretary Tang."

Tang Ye did not have much contact with Chen Qing.

But Chen Qing saw Tang Ye's ability with his own eyes and knew it in his heart.

Tang Ye had set a very high benchmark for him!

The pressure is immense...
