Chapter 1137: Testing a Cadre with Beauty?

Hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Xie Kai let out a sigh of relief.

He said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Let's eat together tonight, and call your colleague Song Ci."

The woman was Xie Kai's girlfriend, named Zhao Jing, a flight attendant for Huai Airlines.

Zhao Jing had a tall figure and fair, beautiful skin; ever since she met Xie Kai, their relationship had developed rapidly.

Zhao Jing was still very satisfied with Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was not particularly old and had his own career; more importantly, he also had a special status: he was the brother-in-law of Mayor Jiang of Xiyang City.

Xie Kai had dated many girlfriends over the past few years, and his standards were very high; Zhao Jing's profession and appearance both met his requirements.

Zhao Jing asked with a face full of suspicion: "Why call her? You haven't taken a fancy to her, have you?"

Xie Kai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jing, annoyed: "If I wanted to pursue her, would I even let you know?"

Didn't you say last time that she is a local of Xiyang, her family's business ran into trouble, and she wanted me to step in and find someone to help handle it?

I am kindly helping your friend, yet you are questioning me; it is truly heartbreaking.

Zhao Jing suddenly realized, "Then who did you find to help?"

Xie Kai said with a smug look: "The County Magistrate of Yechuan County; he is always very busy on weekdays and rarely attends various social engagements."

"Alright, I'll call Song Ci right now and ask if she has time."

Xie Kai was between laughter and tears, "You make it sound like I'm begging her."

Zhao Jing dialed Song Ci's phone number.

Zhao Jing had mentioned her boyfriend to Song Ci, saying he did business in Xiyang City.

There had previously been plans to cooperate with the Song family.

But, it was only later learned that there were problems with the business of Song Ci's family.

Half out of enthusiasm and half out of showing off, Zhao Jing took the initiative to tell Song Ci that she could have her boyfriend step in to help.

After hearing this, Song Ci did not hold much expectation in her heart.

"Has the matter you mentioned last time been resolved?"

Song Ci sighed softly, "It hasn't been resolved yet."

"Then are you free tonight? Xie Kai invited a friend; perhaps he can help you."

Song Ci's first reaction was that this setup was likely not simple.

Perhaps... she would even have to sell her charms to get things done.

But, things had reached this point.

She did not have many other options.

"Who is this friend you mentioned?"

"The new County Magistrate of Yechuan County; Xie Kai has a particularly good relationship with him."

Once Song Ci heard that the other party was the newly appointed County Magistrate, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, then thank you so much."

Around seven o'clock in the evening.

Tang Ye walked into the private room.

He raised his eyes and scanned the room.

Just as Xie Kai had said, apart from him, there were only two young and beautiful women in the room.

Tang Ye couldn't help but have a question pop into his mind!

Is Mayor Jiang's brother-in-law trying to test a cadre with beauty?

He is underestimating him too much!

Xie Kai first introduced the two female comrades to Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, this is my girlfriend Zhao Jing, and this is her colleague Song Ci; they are both flight attendants for Huai Airlines. I have already introduced you to them both before."

Zhao Jing's attire leaned toward a sweet style, her face was round and cute, and her pair of eyes were lively and spirited, as if they could speak.

As for Song Ci, she had the typical demeanor of a cold beauty; there was no smile on her face, and her whole person exuded a cold, unapproachable aura, yet her features were extremely exquisite, possessing a kind of cold, glamorous beauty that was hard to describe in words.

Xie Kai smiled at the two of them, "How about it, I wasn't bragging, right? Isn't County Magistrate Tang very young?"

Zhao Jing took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Ye, "That's right, I feel like County Magistrate Tang is even more handsome than the male stars on TV."

As her voice fell, Zhao Jing even secretly winked at Song Ci beside her.

Song Ci took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, hello, very happy to meet you."

After Tang Ye took his seat, Xie Kai immediately signaled the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Tang Ye took a bite of the steamed fish and found that the taste of this restaurant was quite good; it was clear that Xie Kai had indeed put his heart into this meal.

After three rounds of drinks.

Tang Ye asked Xie Kai indirectly, "Has everything been going smoothly lately?"

Xie Kai said with a smile, "With you looking out for me, how could things not be smooth?"

Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself, "I haven't really helped with anything!"

Xie Kai joked half-seriously, "Some things don't need you to step in directly to be handled well. I am quite good at borrowing the tiger's might."

Tang Ye thought to himself that this Xie Kai was actually quite interesting; daring to state his behavior of leveraging influence in such a relaxed way actually made one feel less repulsed.

Xie Kai glanced at Song Ci, "However, I really do have a favor to ask by inviting you to dinner today. Little Song's family has run into some trouble; I wonder if you could step in and help."

Tang Ye paused for a moment and looked toward Song Ci, "What kind of trouble have you encountered? You might as well tell me about it."

Song Ci said softly, "My father had a batch of goods some time ago; when unloading at Zhaojiang Wharf, we discovered that one-third was missing when counting the quantity. My father went to the wharf authorities to demand an explanation, but he ended up being beaten and injured by the people at the wharf."

Zhaojiang Wharf was located within the jurisdiction of Yechuan County; occasionally there would be cases of lost goods during unloading at the wharf, but losing one-third at once was simply too outrageous.

Tang Ye frowned, "Did you report it to the Police?"

Song Ci nodded, "We reported it. However, after the Police arrived at the scene, they told us to negotiate and handle it with the wharf authorities ourselves. My father is still lying in a hospital bed, and the client is urging us to deliver the goods quickly; if we cannot deliver on time, we will have to pay an astronomical sum in liquidated damages."

Tang Ye pressed, "Over at the Wharf, did anyone leak any information to you?"

Hearing this, Song Ci became agitated, "They said if we are willing to pay a fee of 200,000, they can help find the lost goods. If we don't pay, they told us to find a way to solve it ourselves."

Tang Ye was somewhat angry, "Isn't this extortion? By the way, has your father offended anyone?"

Song Ci sighed, "In business, it's hard to avoid competitors. I can't figure out right now where we offended someone to end up with this kind of situation."

Tang Ye nodded slightly and said in a firm tone, "I have noted this matter, and I will find a way to help you handle it."

Song Ci's eyes lit up instantly, "Really? Then thank you so much, County Magistrate Tang!"

Tang Ye laughed, "No need for thanks; this matter happened within the jurisdiction of Yechuan County, so it is naturally within the scope of my work."

Seeing that Tang Ye was willing to help, Xie Kai hurriedly signaled to Song Ci, "Since County Magistrate Tang is willing to help, things will be easy to handle. Why don't you hurry and offer him a drink?"

Song Ci filled a glass and said softly, "County Magistrate Tang, I offer this to you."

Tang Ye laughed, "Just drink as you like."

However, Song Ci still drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

It was evident that Song Ci did not know how to drink, so she choked and began to cough while covering her mouth.

After dinner, Zhao Jing took the initiative to suggest, "It's still early, why don't we go sing some songs together?"

Tang Ye smiled and refused, "No, I have to rush back to Yechuan later; let's sing another time!"

Song Ci knew what going to sing meant.

In a small KTV private room, the atmosphere easily becomes ambiguous, and with a man and a woman alone together, their relationship can easily draw closer rapidly.

In fact, in Song Ci's heart, she had always been somewhat uneasy.

After all, she had also heard that Tang Ye was a man who already had a family.

She hadn't expected Tang Ye to refuse the invitation directly, which made Song Ci feel somewhat surprised and also somewhat disappointed.

Because from childhood to adulthood, she had always been very confident in her appearance, and those pursuing her had always been endless; she had never had this feeling of being ignored before.

She even couldn't help but think to herself, could it be that she was just being wishful?

"Brother Kai, did I do something wrong that made County Magistrate Tang unhappy?"

Xie Kai scratched his head, "I'm not sure either! But I do have some understanding of him; since he just promised to help, he should fulfill it!"

Xie Kai did not expect that when facing a super beauty like Song Ci, Tang Ye could actually remain unmoved with a stable Dao Heart.
