Chapter 975: I Really Regret It!

Hu Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with great emotion,

"Secretary Tang, I must apologize to you again. I had misunderstandings about you before, harassed you many times, and caused you a lot of trouble. Secretary Shi, please do not take to heart the things I complained to you about Secretary Tang earlier.

I was at my wit's end at the time."

Tang Ye said softly, "Although you did some very extreme things, deep down you were still trying to find the truth. Haibin has been arrested, so you can be at ease from now on. Let go of the past; there is still a long road ahead in the future."

Hu Ying nodded and said, "Secretary Tang, you really are a good official. I will never forget the help you gave me for the rest of my life."

Shi Yao sensed the sincerity in Hu Ying's tone.

She sighed inwardly, feeling that this time she had gained a further understanding of Tang Ye's character.

Tang Ye was not only upright and honorable in his actions but also resourceful.

His maneuvering with Haibin was very clever!

He used a fair and aboveboard method to make Haibin bring about his own downfall!

And he made Xie Zhan, who was closely associated with him, reap the bitter fruits of his own actions.

Shi Yao suddenly felt that the workplace conflicts she had encountered in the ministries before were not worth mentioning.

What she had witnessed this time was high-level political maneuvering.

Deceit and treachery!

Every step a trap!

One move affecting the whole situation.

……

Returning to the official vehicle.

Shi Yao took a small mirror out of her bag and adjusted her makeup in the reflection.

Tang Ye took advantage of this spare moment to make a call to Xue Ying.

Xue Ying answered the phone quickly.

"Secretary Tang, I was just about to ask you how things turned out regarding yesterday's matter."

Tang Ye told her the truth, "Haibin has already been handed over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection working group. This matter involves many people, including the Executive Vice Mayor of Yanzhou, who was taken away for investigation this morning."

Xue Ying said in surprise, "Then doesn't that mean Jinjun Company is in trouble?"

Tang Ye knew that Xue Ying was worried about the title sponsor at this moment, "Jinjun Company is certainly no longer suitable to be the title sponsor for the Public Welfare Performance. I will contact Chen Xiang later, and you two can coordinate the title sponsorship."

Xue Ying's distress was swept away, "Alright, Secretary Tang, you are very thoughtful."

Immediately after, Tang Ye dialed Chen Xiang's number.

"President Chen, hello, this is Tang Ye."

"Secretary Tang, do you have any instructions?"

"The chairman of Jinjun Company, Haibin, is suspected of serious illegal activities and has been arrested. Therefore, the title sponsorship slot for the Dayu County Public Welfare Performance in May has opened up."

"Really? Doesn't that mean we have a chance?" Chen Xiang felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Tang Ye laughed, "I recommended you to Troupe Leader Xue as the title sponsor. We will concentrate the greatest promotional resources on the Camellia Oil E-commerce Project. Please hurry and contact Troupe Leader Xue to finalize the contract as soon as possible."

Chen Xiang secretly marveled that Tang Ye was a very reliable person.

He had only mentioned it to him once, yet he had kept it in mind.

"Alright, I will contact Troupe Leader Xue right away. Thank you for helping to bridge the connection."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do!"

Chen Xiang then dialed Xue Ying's phone number.

"Troupe Leader Xue, I just spoke with Secretary Tang of Dayu County, and he said the Public Welfare Performance is currently lacking a main title sponsor!"

"Yes! President Chen, if you are interested, we can sit down and have a chat."

"Are you free this afternoon?"

"I am. Shall I await your arrival at the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe?"

"Haha, alright, see you then!"

After hanging up on Chen Xiang, Xue Ying took a project proposal from the table, flipped to the page with the program list, and frowned.

Subsequently, she found another version of the project proposal.

In this version of the program list, Li Youyou's solo dance "Phoenix Cry" had not been deleted.

Previously, the request to delete Li Youyou's solo dance and add Yin Hong's solo dance had been a demand made by Jinjun Company.

Now, Jinjun Company was on the verge of collapse, tottering on the brink.

Clearly, there was no need to consider their opinions anymore!

……

Tang Ye and Shi Yao returned to the County Party Committee Compound.

Upstairs, someone had been watching him the whole time.

This person was none other than the Deputy County Magistrate Chen Qing.

He had not expected that the Executive Vice Mayor Xie Zhan would be arrested not long ago.

Thinking back to the dinner party he had attended organized by Haibin, he felt like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

Chen Qing did have some financial dealings with Haibin.

Tang Ye had just sat down in his chair.

Ma Ran knocked on the office door.

"Secretary Tang, County Magistrate Chen would like to see you."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "Please ask him to come in!"

A moment later, Chen Qing pushed open the office door and said politely, "Secretary Tang, I would like to talk to you about something."

Tang Ye gestured toward the sofa, "Please sit! Have a cup of tea."

Chen Qing waved his hand, "No need! Sigh, I heard that Mayor Xie is under investigation. I had quite a bit of contact with Mayor Xie before, and I made some small mistakes regarding certain matters."

A grave look appeared in Tang Ye's eyes, "County Magistrate Chen, it is not terrible to have problems; what is terrible is failing to be alerted and not thinking of changing."

Chen Qing took out a bank card, "This card was given to me by Haibin. He wanted me to facilitate the acquisition of No. 32 Plot. Although I did not fulfill his request later and I proactively returned the card, he did not take it back."

Tang Ye was silent for a moment, then said softly, "County Magistrate Chen, that you can confess your problems in a timely manner shows you still have a good sense of awareness. Haibin is being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection this time because he is implicated in illegal interest exchanges involving the bidding for multiple expressways in Yanzhou. I suggest you proactively turn this card over to the working group and truthfully explain the sequence of events to the working group personnel to strive for lenient treatment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face turned deathly pale, "Secretary Tang, I, I, I really regret it! I don't even know how much money is on this card. In fact, I have always felt that this is a hot potato."

Tang Ye could see that Chen Qing was genuinely repentant.

"How about this, I will call the Team Leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection working group and help you explain the situation. Rest assured, your attitude in admitting guilt is good; the sky won't fall!"

Tang Ye dialed Tao Guangyi's number.

"Director Tao, hello, this is Tang Ye."

"Is there any situation?" Tao Guangyi asked softly.

"Our county's Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Comrade Chen Qing, had some financial dealings when he was in contact with Haibin previously."

Tao Guangyi's eyes lit up.

This information was very important and provided new clues for the case investigation.

"I will immediately arrange for people to go to Dayu County to investigate this matter."

Tang Ye secretly thought that Tao Guangyi had misunderstood.

He was not trying to use the hands of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to take down Chen Qing.

"Director Tao, I have a certain understanding of Comrade Chen Qing. He has a high level of awareness and proactively came to me, wanting to confess his mistakes. How about this, you give me an address, and I will have him go to you to report. I believe the information he provides can be helpful to this case."

Tao Guangyi realized what was happening.

Tang Ye needed to consider the stability of the cadre team in Dayu County and wanted to help Chen Qing strive for a reduced penalty.

"The organization has always been lenient toward comrades who know their mistakes and are willing to correct them. I will send you the address in a moment. You have him come find me!"
