Chapter 91: Cheng Lin got what she wanted!

After repeated reminders, Xiao Jingyu finally had an impression.

A smile appeared on his originally stern face.

"So it's him. This comrade has a very sharp mind and solid professional ability. For such an outstanding cadre, we must attach great importance to him, focus on cultivating him, and when the conditions are ripe, we can even consider giving him more responsibilities."

Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Yue Haiquan tilted his head and reached out to touch his teacup.

"No wonder it sounded familiar. He is that young cadre from Pinghu Town who has performed heroic deeds many times. His story has been publicized by the Provincial Public Security Daily multiple times; he is an excellent model for learning."

Municipal Organization Department Minister Xia Hong had studied Tang Ye's resume.

She also began to speak about the connection between Tang Ye and the Organization Department.

"Tang Ye was previously seconded to the Old Cadre Bureau. I have had contact with him many times. He has strong abilities and has always been a young cadre that the Organization Department focuses on."

Full-time Deputy Secretary Li Chaoyang touched his thermos cup, his tone neither cold nor warm.

"Comrade Jingyu, let's not get off track. Wei Jian actually dressed as a woman and attempted to flee, creating a massive joke that has made all of Hanzhou unable to hold its head up. Tianling County has obtained the Provincial State-owned Assets Investment project; without a stable leadership team, it will inevitably bring negative consequences! I believe we must come up with a plan as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingyu intentionally or unintentionally brushed aside the topic of Wei Jian to draw a clear line between them.

Li Chaoyang, however, insisted on bringing up the sore spot, refusing to let go and deliberately embarrassing him.

The Standing Committee members present knew well that when competing for the position of Mayor, Li Chaoyang and Xiao Jingyu had a very unpleasant falling out and he had suffered a great loss; having finally found an opportunity, he certainly could not let his opponent pass so easily.

At the critical moment, Xiao Jingyu still had to state his position to protect his own people, otherwise, Tianling County would completely lose control.

"Regarding the candidate for County Magistrate, I suggest that the former Executive Deputy County Magistrate Guo Zhengting be appointed as Acting County Mayor. This comrade understands Tianling County and has worked with Du Chengfeng for many years; they are familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding."

Li Chaoyang smiled faintly, "I think we could consider arranging a cadre from the city to go there. Otherwise, it will be the same old thing in a new bottle, and problems will still arise."

Xiao Jingyu's face turned gloomy.

At this moment, Zhou Chengwu began to mediate, "According to Mayor Jingyu's opinion, the position of Acting County Mayor is settled.

The leadership team of Tianling County also needs to be readjusted. County Party Committee Organization Department Minister Gao Yang has experience in government work, so Gao Yang shall take the position of Executive Deputy County Magistrate.

As for the position of Organization Department Minister, we might as well have the Municipal Party Committee support a young cadre. Minister Xia once recommended the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Old Cadre Bureau, Cheng Lin, to me. This comrade is young, capable, and bold. After being transferred to Tianling County, she can make the team more vibrant."

Xiao Jingyu realized that Zhou Chengwu's support for his decision was actually to secure the position of Organization Department Minister.

There was no way back now, so he could only smile insincerely, "Secretary Zhou's decision is reasonable and comprehensive."

Zhou Chengwu tapped the table and concluded with a serious expression:

"Regarding the problems in Tianling County this time, we must learn a profound lesson.

Issues of work style must be grasped constantly, and clean governance must be treated as a top priority.

Regarding young comrades, we must give them more opportunities, be bold in promoting them, cultivate them with care, and place them in important positions.

Meeting adjourned!"

Under special circumstances, everything was expedited; following the Municipal Party Committee's suggestion and the County Standing Committee's nomination, the document was issued a few days later.

An emergency adjustment was made to the Tianling County Party Committee leadership team:

Wei Jian was removed from the position of County Magistrate;

Guo Zhengting was appointed as Deputy County Party Secretary and Acting County Mayor;

Cheng Lin was appointed as Minister of the County Party Committee Organization Department.

……

After seeing the personnel appointment notice, Tang Ye took the initiative to call Cheng Lin to congratulate her.

"Sister Lin, congratulations, you got what you wanted."

Cheng Lin chuckled twice.

Her true feelings were revealed.

"I know you did a lot of work behind the scenes. Secretary Du talked to me privately, and he thinks very highly of you. By the way, when you have time, let me treat you to a meal to thank you for your silent contributions."

Tang Ye said happily, "Then I must have a good meal."

Cheng Lin paused for a few seconds, "You don't mind if I invite others, do you?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Who else?"

Cheng Lin smiled, "Don't be so sensitive. I have two classmates who want to do business but have no connections. Your mind is flexible, so you can help them sort out their ideas."

Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself, "Why does it feel like a trap?"

Cheng Lin was taken aback, "If you find it troublesome, then I will decline."

Tang Ye quickly said, "How could it be troublesome? Knowing one more friend means one more path, not to mention they are Sister Lin's friends."

Cheng Lin said easily, "Wait for my news. Once I confirm the time and place, I will contact you again."

……

When it was time for lunch, Tang Ye declined an invitation from an enterprise and ate lunch in the cafeteria, where he happened to run into Guo Liang, so they chatted for a few words.

"Guo, the resort project will start after the New Year, so you need to prepare the plan in advance. If problems arise later, I will hold you accountable!"

"Town Mayor Tang, having the experience of land acquisition and demolition in Aio, I am very confident now and will definitely not drop the ball."

Thinking of the lucrative job of land acquisition and demolition after the New Year falling to him, a look of joy bloomed on Guo Liang's face.

Tang Ye finished eating, stood up, and left.

Guo Liang hurriedly finished his meal, tidied up his tableware, and followed Tang Ye's footsteps.

"Town Mayor Tang, do you want a toothpick?"

"Uh, no need!"

"Do you want some chewing gum?"

"Sure, give me a piece!"

Wang Kaicheng sat not far away watching all of this, sighing inwardly with mixed feelings.

Guo Liang's ability to trim his sails to the wind was truly infuriating.

However, he also envied Guo Liang's cunning in his heart.

For Guo Liang, being able to establish a connection with Tang Ye would definitely be beneficial to his future.

I still remember the scene at the Shashi Factory blockade where Wei Jian angrily rebuked Tang Ye.

As for not long ago, Wei Jian used reporting work as a pretext to knock Tang Ye down a peg.

Who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, Tang Ye would emerge unscathed, while Wei Jian is now sitting in jail.

……

It was a bit cold outside, and Tang Ye's fingers were numb from the freezing air; he hunched his shoulders and pulled his zipper all the way up, which made him feel slightly better.

It was only a few dozen meters from the cafeteria to the office building, and whenever he encountered people on the way, they would start greeting him from afar, "Hello, Town Mayor Tang!"

Tang Ye wore a smile and nodded in acknowledgement.

If he was somewhat familiar with them, he would even stop his steps to exchange a few pleasantries.

He could see something intriguing in their tone; besides approval and appreciation, there was now an added sense of heartfelt awe.

If one were to say that the downfall of Xu Yiping and the Xu Clan involved an element of luck, Wei Jian was definitely a colossal figure who was beyond reach.

He had been deeply entrenched in Tianling County for many years, with a tough style and a resolute way of doing things; he was an extremely powerful leader whose word was law.

Wei Jian had just been promoted to County Magistrate less than a month ago and was at the height of his influence, yet he was caught by a Deputy Section Level Seconded Official who seized a clue, maneuvered skillfully, mobilized resources, used his own strength against him, and ultimately crushed him so thoroughly that he ended up imprisoned.

This was something that caught everyone off guard.

If this were in a fantasy novel, Tang Ye would be equivalent to a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, while Wei Jian would be a cultivator at the Golden Core Peak Stage, having achieved the feat of killing a powerful expert across multiple realms.
