Chapter 1083: Probing Mao Yu's Bottom Line!

"Alright, come on over!

I'll text you the address!

Be careful on the road."

Chen Zhihe hailed a taxi at the hotel entrance and soon arrived at the residential complex where Tang Ye lived.

The doorbell rang, and Ma Ran walked over to open the door.

Chen Zhihe greeted Ma Ran.

Tang Ye was wearing pajamas, sitting in the living room.

Chen Zhihe sat down opposite Tang Ye.

"I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"Xiao Ma, pour some tea for Bureau Chief Chen first!"

Ma Ran poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhihe.

After taking a sip of tea, Tang Ye took the initiative to ask, "What kind of difficulty have you encountered?"

"County Magistrate Tang, I had dinner with County Magistrate Mao and Chen Shunfei tonight."

Tang Ye was not surprised, "Shunteng Development Company has conflicts with the working group, so County Magistrate Mao organized the dinner to resolve the conflict; it shows that County Magistrate Mao is still willing to do practical work."

Chen Zhihe gave a bitter smile, "After the meal, Chen Shunfei had his PR Manager offer me an apartment."

A look of surprise appeared in Tang Ye's eyes!

This was blatant bribery!

He acknowledged Chen Zhihe's honesty, "Bureau Chief Chen, the fact that you can tell me about this shows that you have withstood the test."

Chen Zhihe breathed a sigh of relief, "County Magistrate Tang, I was actually quite resentful when you first took the initiative to invite me for a talk with the Discipline Inspection Commission. Now I finally understand your painstaking efforts."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "Comrade Zhihe, thank you for your understanding."

He knew why Chen Zhihe had come to find him so late.

Tang Ye paused, then said in a solemn tone, "I had heard about the atmosphere in Yechuan County before I arrived. The former County Magistrate, Comrade Zhou Songtao, died suddenly during his term; although it was ruled a suicide, there are many suspicious points. I came to Yechuan County this time with a mission. Please believe in me, and believe in the provincial and municipal authorities; it won't be long before the atmosphere in Yechuan County changes."

Chen Zhihe breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe you. If there is anything you need me to do, please instruct me, and I will do my best to complete it."

Tang Ye nodded and said in a firm tone, "Bureau Chief Chen, we will go further together!"

Chen Zhihe's hanging heart finally settled.

He had come to find Tang Ye so late not only to report news but also to clarify his stance.

After seeing Chen Zhihe off, a look of relief appeared in Tang Ye's eyes.

Letting the Discipline Inspection Commission enter the Safety Supervision Bureau for talks had indeed been effective.

On one hand, it made the working group pay attention and stay alert, so they would not be corrupted by external forces.

On the other hand, it also stimulated the emotions of the working group.

It made them feel dissatisfied with Chen Shunfei and Mao Yu, who was backing him.

Finally, this was also a probe.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

He needed to know the bottom line of Mao Yu!

He was quite surprised that Chen Zhihe had taken the initiative to come to him and lay his cards on the table.

Chen Zhihe was a smart man who knew how to choose the right leader to side with in this game of chess.

Tang Ye currently needed some manpower.

He had looked into Chen Zhihe's character, and he was quite reliable.

Chen Zhihe walked out of the residential complex, feeling the alcohol fade away and his body feeling light.

His sense of smell was sharp.

A thunderstorm was brewing in the sky over Yechuan County.

A moment of carelessness, and one would be smashed to pieces.

Tang Ye was a leader who could bring him positive energy.

He firmly believed that his choice was not wrong.

……

When Chen Zhihe was calling Tang Ye, Chen Shunfei received a call from the PR Manager.

Chen Shunfei was very confident; under the assault of sugar-coated bullets, money, and beauty, Chen Zhihe would surely be corrupted, and then he would become one of his own.

With leverage over him in his hands, he would not have to worry about him bothering him again.

And it could come in handy when needed in the future.

"How is it? Is the matter taken care of?"

"Boss, there has been a change. Chen Zhihe refused the apartment, and at the same time, he was not interested in me."

A look of astonishment appeared in Chen Shunfei's eyes, "No way! He is actually not greedy for money or lustful?"

The PR Manager frowned, "He didn't take the bait, and there's nothing I can do. I used every trick in the book."

Chen Shunfei sighed helplessly, "I see. If he didn't take the bait, then so be it. This guy is very cautious, which is within expectations."

After hanging up the PR Manager's call, Chen Shunfei dialed Mao Yu's number.

At this moment, Mao Yu was lying in bed, holding Li Haizao in his arms, and the two were talking.

Chen Shunfei's call came at a rather inopportune time.

"What is it?"

"Chen Zhihe did not accept the apartment."

Mao Yu was silent for a moment, "If he didn't accept it, then so be it! Old Chen is a rather pedantic person; you gave him such an expensive apartment, he might not be able to accept it all at once. Besides, the Discipline Inspection Commission just talked to him, so the timing wasn't right. His attitude at the dinner table today was still very cooperative; once you get more familiar with each other after a while, winning him over will happen naturally. Since you greeted each other at the dinner party yesterday, he shouldn't pester you anymore."

After Mao Yu's analysis, Chen Shunfei suddenly saw the light, "Alright, I'll probe further later; I won't disturb your rest anymore."

Hanging up the phone, Li Haizao poked her head out from under the quilt and let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing her cute expression, Mao Yu kissed her on the forehead, "Look at how scared you are; is Chen Shunfei really that terrifying?"

Li Haizao nodded slightly, "Yes, he is my boss. He's very overbearing at the company, has a bad temper, and often makes people cry from his scolding."

Mao Yu flicked her on the nose with his hand, "Others may fear him, but you don't have to. On the contrary, he fears you, because you are the woman I love."

Coaxed by Mao Yu as if she had eaten honey, Li Haizao kissed him on the cheek, but then she seemed to recall something, and a look of struggle appeared in her eyes.

Mao Yu noticed that Li Haizao had something on her mind and asked softly, "Have you encountered some difficulty?"

Li Haizao thought for a moment and said softly, "My brother wants to switch to a school district house and is short on money. I told Feng Feng to take his money out first to help my brother out of a jam, but he didn't agree."

Mao Yu did not like Li Haizao mentioning Feng Feng in front of him.

However, at this moment, he still felt somewhat smug.

Because Feng Feng was very young, good-looking, and had been in a relationship with Li Haizao for several years, yet he possessed abilities that Feng Feng lacked.

Mao Yu smiled faintly, "Tell me, how much is missing?"

Li Haizao bit her lip and said, "Two hundred thousand. I'm borrowing it from you on behalf of my brother."

Mao Yu laughed in spite of himself, "Two hundred thousand is indeed not a small amount for Feng Feng. I will arrange for someone to wire the money to you tomorrow."

You have to understand Feng Feng; he is only in his twenties and has only saved up some money after working for many years. That money was meant to build a life for the two of you, so he hesitated.

At my age, it looks like I have everything, but I actually envy the drive Feng Feng has to give his all for the future."

In front of Li Haizao, Mao Yu would never speak ill of Feng Feng.

Compared to Feng Feng, Mao Yu appeared very mature.

This made Li Haizao admire him even more!

Facing Mao Yu's generosity, Li Haizao could no longer control her excitement and took the initiative to hug County Magistrate Mao.

"Uncle! Thank you!

Meeting you is my good fortune!"
