Chapter 869: Secretary Tang Must Step In!

Among the City Leaders who came to inspect today, there was also a Vice Mayor surnamed Hang.

Vice Mayor Hang is in charge of industrial economy; although he is not a Standing Committee Member of the Municipal Party Committee, his ranking within the Municipal Government is still relatively high.

If the Anthracite Project is successfully launched, it would count as his political achievement.

Therefore, he is very concerned about this project and also very confident in it.

As it turned out, he did not expect this little episode to occur.

Vice Mayor Hang was almost angered to the point of fainting!

Seeing the Police form a human wall in front of the masses, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, and a fire suddenly rose in Vice Mayor Hang's heart. He pointed at one of the tall, middle-aged Police officers and asked sternly: "Who told you to act so recklessly!"

The Police officer was stunned, glanced in the direction of Qiao Lin, and explained: "We received notice from our superiors to protect the safety of the leaders."

Vice Mayor Hang said angrily: "Don't you see that these people are all the elderly, weak, women, and children? We don't need this kind of protection at all, withdraw the team immediately!"

Xie Zhan glanced at Hang Jian; in fact, he also did not wish to see the conflict escalate further.

And Hang Jian's words just now could be considered as having stated his true thoughts entirely.

However, the Police did not take any action after listening.

Hang Jian was so angry he stomped his feet and pressed: "What, do my words not count?"

Tang Ye hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Vice Mayor Hang, please calm your anger first. This group of Police came to maintain order at the scene, not to set the Government and the common people against each other. It was us who failed to explain the task clearly beforehand, which caused this misunderstanding."

Hang Jian was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this response from Tang Ye was still very mature.

It both saved his own face and did not make the reckless decisions of certain cadres in Dayu County appear too foolish.

Tang Ye then dialed Xing Zhijun's phone number.

He knew clearly in his heart that the public security system has its own set of procedures; even if he spoke up himself, it likely wouldn't be effective, let alone Hang Jian.

Xing Zhijun was not at the scene, but upon learning the situation, he immediately called the relevant personnel to make arrangements.

The middle-aged Police officer received the order and hurriedly led his men to dismantle the human wall.

However, they did not leave the scene, but instead stood guard on the side.

"Boss, what exactly is going on? One order after another, it's too hard to serve," a Police officer complained in a low voice.

The middle-aged Police officer curled his lip and whispered a warning: "Don't blather, let's just wait and see how things develop."

In his heart, he had actually already seen through it.

This gate-blocking incident today was clearly someone playing a game of chess in the dark.

One must see the situation clearly and not let them, these small soldiers, suffer because of the "clash of the gods."

Ou Xiye also knew that in the current situation, the scene had to be stabilized as quickly as possible.

Tang Ye had previous experience in handling similar situations and had done it very well.

And judging from the situation at the scene, the common people also respected him quite a bit.

Ou Xiye said to Xie Zhan with a tone of seeking instruction: "Mayor Xie, it is indeed somewhat unexpected that such a thing happened today. The problem must lie with us here at the Dayu County Government; please give us a chance to rectify it, and we will immediately set about handling it."

Xie Zhan responded with a gloomy face: "Since I have come today, I cannot sit idly by. You handle it on the spot immediately; if you cannot handle it well, it can only be handed over to the city to take over."

Ou Xiye grasped Xie Zhan's thoughts, turned his head to look at Tang Ye, and instructed: "Secretary Tang, you are in charge of emergency management; please clarify and handle the matter as soon as possible."

At the critical moment, it still had to be Tang Ye who handled it!

Tang Ye understood Ou Xiye's implication and immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Secretary Ou. Actually, it is not difficult to solve this problem; as long as we figure out the demands of the masses, we can handle it properly."

Chen Qing looked at Tang Ye's confident appearance and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He thought to himself, he really isn't afraid of spraining his tongue from bragging or spraining his waist from the strong wind.

However, with Ou Xiye's support, Tang Ye was finally able to intervene in this matter in a legitimate way.

Although Tang Ye had always been labeled as "fond of showing off," he was very careful about the scale and method of his actions.

He could not care about Xie Zhan's opinion of him, but he had to consider Ou Xiye's attitude.

Tang Ye walked in front of the crowd again.

Ma Ran was very observant and immediately handed him a megaphone.

Tang Ye took the megaphone, looked around at the masses present, and began to speak:

"My name is Tang Ye, and there should be quite a few people here who know me.

Everyone gathered here today, let me first apologize to everyone on behalf of the Government—it is because our work was not rigorous enough and our considerations were not comprehensive enough, which chilled everyone's hearts, that led to the current situation.

Kneeling cannot solve the problem, and disputes will only result in both sides suffering.

Everyone knows that Dayu County is a National-level Poverty-stricken County; why has the economy never been able to go up?

A large part of it is because the investment environment is too poor.

If you keep making a scene like this today, once it causes a bad influence, the outside world will only have less confidence in the investment environment of Dayu County.

I believe everyone here is a reasonable person and will definitely understand my words.

Please remove the banners first, and at the same time, elect five representatives; we will go to the conference room to negotiate and resolve the relevant issues."

Someone in the crowd immediately responded:

"We must trust Secretary Tang Ye; he is a rare good cadre! During the mudslide disaster before, it was he who saved the people of the entire village."

Another person also echoed: "That's right! The road in Shanyang Village was led by him to be built!"

"Then let's hurry up and choose a few representatives!"

Mayor Xie remained calm and composed; he had originally thought that Ou Xiye handing the matter to Tang Ye to handle

was deliberately shirking responsibility.

A cadre transferred from another place would certainly find it very difficult to handle such a complex situation.

But he did not expect that Tang Ye would stabilize the scene and bring the situation under control with just a few words.

As for Chen Qing, his face was burning.

He had been competing with Tang Ye all along.

But he knew clearly that he did not have the same charisma as Tang Ye!

Soon, five representatives walked out from the crowd.

Hang Jian could not help but exclaim, "Comrade Tang Ye really has personal charisma; the common people are actually very simple, and they know clearly in their hearts who is a reliable cadre."

Xie Zhan glanced at Hang Jian and noticed a detail.

After Hang Jian finished praising Tang Ye, he looked at Chen Qing again, his eyes full of disdain.

Xie Zhan sighed inwardly; he had originally intended to help Chen Qing save face during this research trip.

However, after all this commotion!

The prestige that Chen Qing had just managed to build up seemed like a thin sheet of paper compared to Tang Ye, breaking at a single poke.

……

The representatives of the petitioning masses followed them into the conference room.

Tang Ye did not engage in unnecessary pleasantries and directly invited one of the male representatives, who was wearing a suit and looked refined, to speak first:

"If you have any issues, just state them directly."

The male representative suppressed his anger and said, "Leaders, we common people have no objection to Dayu County wanting to carry out construction and demolition, but the compensation given to us must be reasonable and fair, right? You cannot just engage in such extortion!"

Chen Qing frowned and could not help but interrupt, "Get to the point, stick to the facts, and don't speak with such great resentment."

The trouble was caused by Chen Qing.

He was cleaning up his mess.

But his attitude was hard to understand!

Tang Ye's face darkened; he turned his head to glare at Chen Qing and said mercilessly:

"County Magistrate Chen, please do not interrupt the representative's speech at will; let them finish what they have to say.

When dealing with the common people, we must have enough patience!"
