~7 min read 1,388 words

Tang Ye returned to the hotel with Du Xi.

Du Xi carried clean clothes into the bathroom to take a shower.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

Tang Ye rushed in immediately.

Du Xi was already undressed, looking in surprise at the worried-looking Tang Ye, and said regretfully, "My phone fell on the floor; the screen seems to be broken."

Tang Ye was caught between laughter and tears, "It doesn't matter if the phone is broken; if you were hurt, that would be terrible."

Du Xi said huffily, "Don't worry, I'm not that delicate."

Tang Ye said seriously, "I know you aren't delicate, but you still need to be careful and protect yourself. You aren't just one person now, but two."

Du Xi smiled apologetically at Tang Ye, "Since you're already in here, help me scrub my back!"

Tang Ye picked up the towel, folded it into a scrubbing cloth, and joked, "Having a County Magistrate scrub your back, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Du Xi snorted, "So what if you're a County Magistrate? When you get old, won't you still have to rely on me? Scrub carefully, or when you're old, I'll make you drink plain porridge and eat salted vegetables every day."

Tang Ye sighed with emotion, "Actually, drinking plain porridge and eating salted vegetables isn't bad. People are over-nourished these days; I've grown quite a bit of fat around my waist recently."

Du Xi said with a smile, "Xiao Ma's cooking is very good, so he's made you fat."

Tang Ye nodded, "Xiao Ma is diligent and has good culinary skills; he is indeed very good."

Du Xi's eyes lit up, and she suggested, "I have a colleague at work who is exceptionally beautiful and doesn't have a boyfriend. How about we introduce her to Xiao Ma?"

Tang Ye knew that Ma Ran was currently seeing Liu Chun, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Xiao Ma has a girlfriend, so don't get involved."

Du Xi's expression was a bit disappointed, "That's a bit of a pity then."

"What's a pity? There are so many male comrades, are you afraid he won't find a partner?" Tang Ye asked, puzzled.

Du Xi shook her head, "Girls nowadays have very high standards. They don't just require the boy to have a house, a car, and a stable job; they also want height, good looks, and savings."

Tang Ye joked, "That kind of person is too hard to find."

Du Xi said happily, "That's right, I'm very lucky; I encountered a blue-chip stock like you."

Tang Ye reminded her seriously, "Your awareness is quite high."

Du Xi couldn't help but lean over and kiss Tang Ye on the cheek, "My awareness has always been high, but I also deserve to have this fate, don't I!"

"Right!" Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself.

Du Xi said, "A few days ago, Xiao Hui took the initiative to ask me out to dinner. She wanted to treat me, but I refused."

Tang Ye sighed, "Staying away from Xiao Hui is the right thing to do."

Du Xi said somewhat angrily, "Xiao Hui is too calculating. She seems to be telling people outside that I'm her best friend. The reason she gave for the treat was that she had been promoted to Section Chief."

Tang Ye mused that Xiao Hui was indeed someone skilled at utilizing resources.

He had previously asked Dong Miaoying to help when Xiao Hui needed a job transfer.

Ever since then, Xiao Hui had seized upon this connection, mentioning on many occasions that she and he were high school classmates.

Although Du Xi and Xiao Hui were not that close, it was an indisputable fact that Xiao Hui frequently visited Yunhu Courtyard.

A cadre having a connection with the head of the Municipal Organization Department.

This was equivalent to stepping onto the fast track for promotion.

Xiao Hui's speed of promotion might not be comparable to Tang Ye's, but compared to cadres of the same age, it was already an astonishing existence.

One must know that four years ago, Xiao Hui was merely a middle school teacher; she had reached the position of Section Chief in just four years.

However, Xiao Hui's husband, Shao Jinbo, was not so lucky.

Come to think of it, Shao Jinbo was the first whetstone in his own official career.

Now, he had been left far behind.

Tang Ye smiled, "I think that having a friend like Xiao Hui still has value!"

Du Xi asked, puzzled, "What value?"

Tang Ye said, "Xiao Hui provides you with emotional value; every time she is with you, she caters to you. Compared to your relationship during high school, shouldn't you feel quite pleased?"

"I'm not that shallow!" Du Xi rolled her eyes at Tang Ye, then suddenly said earnestly, "If it hadn't been for that heavy snow that day when I had a fever, would our story have had a result?"

Tang Ye said very seriously, "Of course it would have had a result; we would have ended up together for other reasons anyway."

Du Xi smiled, "Mm, no one can tear us apart, not even the heavens!"

……

After finishing scrubbing Du Xi's back, Tang Ye walked out of the bathroom and discovered a missed call on his phone.

It was a call from Zheng Shaokang.

Tang Ye took the initiative to call him back.

"Is there an emergency?"

Zheng Shaokang nodded slightly, "While we were sorting through the film rolls left behind by Zhou Songtao, we discovered some information. One of Zhou Songtao's film rolls recorded quite a bit of complaint material regarding Zhenao Group."

Tang Ye's tone became serious and grave, "Send these complaint materials to my email!"

Zheng Shaokang nodded, "Alright, I'll send them right now!"

More than an hour later, Tang Ye opened his laptop and saw those photos!

Zhou Songtao's legacy contained a massive amount of information!

It was related to a Xiyang City enterprise, Zhenao Group.

Although Shunteng Development Company had developed very quickly over the past few years under the protection of Mao Yu.

But compared to Zhenao Group, Shunteng Development Company was like a small witch meeting a big witch.

Tang Ye rubbed his chin.

Zhenao Group was definitely a hard nut to crack!

But, it was also a hard nut that had to be cracked.

Tang Ye dialed Zheng Shaokang's phone number, "These photos must be kept confidential."

Zheng Shaokang nodded and said, "I understand!"

Having dealt with Tang Ye many times,

Zheng Shaokang's attitude toward Tang Ye had changed from awe to respect.

Du Xi finished her shower and fell asleep with her head on Tang Ye's arm.

Sweet and happy.

Tang Ye had things on his mind; he stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, thinking over and over...

Besides investigating the death of Zhou Songtao, he also had to take on the burden of carrying the banner for developing Yechuan's economy.

Among the things Zhou Songtao left behind, there were actually quite a few constructive ideas for the in-depth development of the eastern suburbs of Yechuan County.

The Dongjin strategy could be said to be Fu Yagang's suggestion, and Zhou Songtao had also made efforts according to Fu Yagang's ideas.

However, because Zhou Songtao died unexpectedly, this idea became a castle in the air.

Tang Ye's idea was to carry out his work by standing on the foundation of what Zhou Songtao had done before.

On one hand, Zhou Songtao had done some foundational work; as the saying goes, the predecessors plant the trees and the descendants enjoy the shade, so it would not be as cumbersome for him to do it himself.

On the other hand, Government planning must have continuity; one cannot have a different idea for every official, resulting in decades of scattered, aimless efforts that look like a lot of work was done but leave behind a pile of half-finished projects.

Of course, there was also an unexpected discovery: Zhou Songtao had been secretly investigating the Zhenao Group.

Was this his own spontaneous action, or was it a task assigned by those above?

Regardless of whether it was a task assigned by those above,

he had to get to the bottom of this matter...

If the malignant tumor is not removed, the disaster will be endless!
