Chapter 858: Du Chengfeng Gets an Opportunity!
In the evening, Tang Ye returned to his residence, logged into QQ, took a photo of the official appointment document with the red header, and sent it to Du Xi.
Very quickly, Du Xi sent a surprised emoji, then followed up with a message sighing: "Hubby, you're amazing!"
After waiting another two minutes, Du Xi initiated a video call request.
On the monitor, Du Xi's face was like a peach blossom, her eyes filled with tenderness, gazing at him in the camera with deep affection.
"Hubby, congratulations on taking another step forward!"
"Hey, it's just a small promotion," Tang Ye responded modestly. "How are you today? Is your cold any better? Are you still coughing?"
Du Xi seemed to be suddenly reminded and gave a light cough: "It's nothing, I'm almost better. By the way, Jiang Rou has decided to apply to Qiongjin University; with her scores, she could easily apply to Shuimu University or Yanjing University."
Tang Ye was somewhat surprised: "What is Mayor Jiang's opinion?"
Du Xi replied: "Mayor Jiang respects her choice. Sigh, actually, everyone knows that your influence on her is too great."
Tang Ye is a graduate of Qiongjin University, so Jiang Rou wants to follow in his footsteps.
"Let's just respect her choice!" Tang Ye did not offer much commentary.
Du Xi continued: "Hmm, Qiongjin University has many good majors. If she wants to enter politics, choosing Qiongjin University is also a good option."
With the background support of someone like Jiang Jing, if Jiang Rou really wants to pursue a political career, she will certainly avoid many detours compared to the average person.
……
In the room next door.
Du Chengfeng was holding a book, reading before bed.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law on a video call, Xiao Qin didn't feel it was appropriate to go in and disturb them.
Turning to her own room, after getting into bed, she tugged on her husband's arm and asked in a low voice: "Tang Ye has only been there for half a year and already had his position adjusted. Could he stay there for two years and be promoted directly to Division Level?"
Du Chengfeng laughed in spite of himself: "How could it be that easy? Do you think being an official is like making a wish! Generally speaking, a small promotion takes at least four years to move. Tang Ye's ability is strong, but he still has to follow these rules. However, his direct promotion to Deputy County Party Secretary this time was indeed unexpected. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, when he rotates back, he will certainly be able to resolve the Division Level issue."
Xiao Qin gave him a look of annoyance: "I think you are still underestimating Tang Ye."
Du Chengfeng shook his head with a bitter smile: "Your son-in-law is only thirty years old and is already a Deputy Division Level Official with real power. By your logic, if he gets promoted one level every two years, wouldn't he be able to reach the Ministerial Level by the time he's forty?"
Xiao Qin laughed: "Why do I feel like you're a bit jealous of Tang Ye?"
Du Chengfeng burst into laughter: "Why would I be jealous of him? I hope he has a smooth journey all the way. However, this thing called an official career requires patience and must be grounded; otherwise, haste makes waste."
Xiao Qin nodded in agreement, then suddenly changed the subject: "I heard recently that little Hu was reported by someone?"
The little Hu in Xiao Qin's mouth refers to Hu Zhongping, who once pursued Du Xi!
A cold and disdainful look flashed in Du Chengfeng's eyes:
"Someone drove drunk and fled the scene, and little Hu actually helped them cover it up. Later, when the perpetrator and the victim couldn't reach an agreement, they filed a complaint against little Hu. This matter has caused quite a stir, and little Hu has already been ordered to be suspended from his duties."
Du Chengfeng did not explain the matter in great detail.
For Hu Zhongping to cover for someone, there must have been financial issues involved.
In the years Zhou Chengwu has been in Hanzhou, he has been very strict about anti-corruption efforts, which have already begun to show results.
For Hu Zhongping to still dare to overreach like that, he was clearly blinded by greed.
Xiao Qin sighed: "That child looked quite honest and steady; I didn't expect his stance to be so wavering. It's fortunate that Du Xi chose Tang Ye back then instead of him! Otherwise, I would definitely regret it to death now."
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You still remember that! However, I never liked that kid; I always felt his intentions were crooked."
Xiao Qin suddenly lowered her voice and asked in a whisper: "I heard some news recently that Xia Hong is going to be transferred to the Provincial Organization Department?"
Du Chengfeng was somewhat surprised: "Your sources are quite well-informed."
Xiao Qin said proudly: "I have quite a few good friends."
Du Chengfeng knew that ever since he became the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General, Xiao Qin's social circle had expanded significantly.
Most of her friends are wives of officials, and when this group gets together, they love to chat about domestic gossip.
Therefore, Xiao Qin's source of information was still reliable.
Du Chengfeng nodded slightly: "Xia Hong is indeed going to the provincial level. Her husband works in Qiongjin, so this way the two of them can also resolve the issue of living apart."
"Then won't the position of Municipal Organization Department Minister become vacant?"
As Xiao Qin spoke, she secretly observed Du Chengfeng's expression.
Du Chengfeng said with annoyance: "There are plenty of people eyeing this position; how would it ever be my turn? You, stop letting your imagination run wild here."
Xiao Qin felt that Du Chengfeng definitely had ideas.
The position of Organization Department Minister is indeed too critical!
Xiao Qin knew Du Chengfeng's personality; if he went to ask his older brother, he could increase his chances of winning by a few points.
But Du Chengfeng would absolutely never bow his head!
……
Tang Ye and Du Xi chatted for nearly an hour before ending the video call.
When a person stays away from home for a long time, they will inevitably feel lonely occasionally.
However, the development of technology has brought about huge changes.
Ten years ago, wanting to video chat through a computer with someone thousands of miles away was simply something one wouldn't even dare to imagine!
Tang Ye is a normal man, so naturally, he has physical and psychological needs.
His way of dealing with it is to keep himself busy at all times.
Tang Ye opened his laptop and clicked on a document.
The title of this document was "Building the Giant Dragon Community into a Model Poverty Alleviation Project."
After the mudslide destroyed the village, the original villagers were relocated collectively.
In another three months, the villagers will be able to move into their new houses.
However, Tang Ye's arrangements for them go beyond that.
He also wants to help this group of villagers integrate into urban life, fully utilize their labor to create wealth, teach them how to fish, and form a virtuous cycle.
As long as this model project can be completed smoothly, other villages will also have a direction to refer to.
By then, many villagers will take the initiative to walk out of the mountains and cooperate with the Government's relocation plan.
Tang Ye has always been very clear about his primary mission.
Poverty alleviation is his top priority.
Punishing corrupt officials and sweeping away evil forces, to put it bluntly, are all about clearing obstacles for poverty alleviation!
Only by letting the lives of the common people truly become prosperous.
Will his resume be more convincing!
A burst of urgent phone ringing interrupted Tang Ye's train of thought.
Tang Ye answered the phone.
Xing Zhijun said excitedly, "Zhang Tao has been caught!"
Zhang Tao?
Tang Ye has a very good memory, and he quickly pulled up the information on this person in his mind!
This is the culprit who injured Li Zhewen!
"How was he caught?"
"We were watching his wife. Zhang Tao returned home last night, and we took him directly. Zhang Tao's skills are quite good, but we caught him by surprise." Although Xing Zhijun spoke very simply, Tang Ye knew the process must have been very dangerous!
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hey, it's not hard work. This is a case the city is focusing on; catching the person can be considered an explanation." Xing Zhijun was in a good mood; this could be considered the first achievement he had made since being promoted to Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission!
Tang Ye thought to himself, this can also be considered an explanation for Li Zhewen!
