Chapter 121: The Developer Has Some Tricks Up His Sleeve!

Tang Ye drove Qi Meiyu toward the Tianling Hotel.

As for her assistant, Wei Lei, he was in another car.

After getting into the car, Qi Meiyu's gaze drifted out the window, but her attention remained on Tang Ye.

Ever since she was old enough to understand things, she had always liked older men because they were mature and steady.

However, Tang Ye overturned her way of thinking; a young man could also be very steady.

Qi Meiyu appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was impatient.

What exactly was he going to give her!

Finally!

At a fork in the road, while waiting for a red light, Tang Ye handed her the yellow envelope from the passenger seat.

"President Qi, there are problems within your company; you need to take them seriously."

Qi Meiyu flipped through the materials with complex emotions.

Photos, bills, call logs...

Tang Ye had made many preparations in secret.

She was secretly shocked.

If it came to a lawsuit, she would have absolutely no chance of winning.

Through this move, Tang Ye wanted, on one hand, to let Qi Meiyu know he held many trump cards, ensuring she would have no second thoughts about joining;

On the other hand, he was telling Qi Meiyu to be wary of disloyal subordinates.

"Thank you for the reminder; I will handle this seriously."

Tang Ye escorted Qi Meiyu to her room and then left immediately.

Although Tianling County was vigorously attracting investment, the Tianling Hotel was clearly far behind the luxury hotels in Yunhai.

However, the hotel was the tallest building for miles around, and because it was on a high floor, one could overlook the entire county seat.

Qi Meiyu dialed Wei Lei's number.

A moment later, Wei Lei rang the doorbell.

Qi Meiyu opened the door and glanced at Wei Lei indifferently, "You can head back to Yunhai in a while; I will be staying in Hanzhou for two days."

Wei Lei's reaction was very abnormal; not only did he not respond to her order, but he also questioned her decision!

"President Qi, you agreed to join Qin Ge, so what about the factory in Xicheng?"

"That factory belongs to our company. Now that we have been acquired by Qin Ge, it depends on how Qin Ge handles that factory."

"Are you really willing to be acquired by a township enterprise from a third or fourth-tier city? Why not try again? Kaisheng Company is very interested in us. As long as you nod, we can successfully weather this crisis."

"You aren't worried about the company; you're worried about yourself, aren't you? As far as I know, you made quite a bit from investing in the Xicheng factory. If you facilitate the cooperation with Kaisheng Company, will you be able to replace my position?"

Wei Lei's face turned deathly pale, "President Qi, please don't jump to conclusions! Did someone slander me in front of you?"

Seeing that Wei Lei refused to admit his guilt, Qi Meiyu took a file out of her bag, "This is what Tang Ye gave me. In order to merge our company, he arranged for a Lawyer to investigate our situation. Inside are the call logs and bank transfers of you betraying the company! The evidence is conclusive! I am very disappointed in you. You have followed me for so many years, yet you stabbed me in the back. Especially after we breached the contract, you even provided Kaisheng with some core data."

Wei Lei's face was ashen, "President Qi, listen to my explanation, Tang Ye is deliberately splashing dirty water on me. He is sowing discord!"

Qi Meiyu waved her hand impatiently, "Disappear from my sight immediately. Otherwise, I will change my mind... and have you sent to prison."

Wei Lei was unwilling to be abandoned by Qi Meiyu just like that.

He suddenly walked toward Qi Meiyu, grabbed her arm, and said with bloodshot eyes, "Qi Meiyu, I have actually always liked you. I admit I did some things that were unfair to the company, but as long as you forgive me—no, as long as you agree to be with me, I am willing to give you everything. I can give you all my savings; it's enough to let the company weather the crisis."

Qi Meiyu shook her arm forcefully, trying to break free from Wei Lei's entanglement, "Calm down!"

Wei Lei knew that Qi Meiyu responded to soft tactics rather than hard ones, so he pleaded bitterly, "The reason I wanted to work so hard to make money was because I wanted to catch up to your pace quickly."

Qi Meiyu was not moved.

She only felt that Wei Lei was incredibly disgusting.

"Remember, you and I will always only be superior and subordinate."

Wei Lei was provoked; he suddenly shoved Qi Meiyu hard, forcibly pinning her onto the bed, his eyes filled with a fierce glint!

"No, you definitely have feelings for me, otherwise why would you be so good to me? Not only did you promote me, but you also let me be your assistant."

"Don't mess around, don't be impulsive, don't do anything stupid!"

While Qi Meiyu tried to persuade him with soft words, she was also struggling with all her might.

But Wei Lei's strength was great.

She felt as if she were being crushed to death by a giant mountain, her eyes filled with fear.

Wei Lei had lost his mind at this moment.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside the room.

It was actually Tang Ye.

While getting gas for the car, he discovered in the back seat that Qi Meiyu had left a lipstick in his car.

So he had turned back!

He kicked Wei Lei to the ground with one foot.

Wei Lei let out a muffled groan; it felt as if his waist had been severed, and he couldn't climb back up for a while.

Tang Ye hurried to look closely at Qi Meiyu, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qi Meiyu's eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head, still shaken.

Tang Ye immediately dialed Wan Ming's number.

Not long after, Wan Ming brought people over to arrest Wei Lei.

After finishing the statement, Tang Ye sent Qi Meiyu back to the hotel.

Qi Meiyu was in a bad mood and felt dejected.

Tang Ye followed behind Qi Meiyu and handed over the coat he was holding, "Your coat!"

Qi Meiyu was startled and hurriedly turned around, colliding with Tang Ye.

Qi Meiyu had a tall figure, and her chest happened to bump into Tang Ye's chest;

her abdomen also pressed against Tang Ye's lower abdomen.

Even though they were separated by clothes, the tactile sensation and elasticity of her body were clearly felt.

"I'm sorry, I bumped into you; look at how scatterbrained I am."

"If you encounter trouble, contact me at any time. Don't be too discouraged; things will get better and better for everyone from here on out."

After Tang Ye left.

Qi Meiyu walked into the bathroom, preparing to take a shower.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the more she thought, the more a chill welled up from the bottom of her heart.

To think she had been working with a wolf for many years!

Her opposition to Qin Ge was also partly due to being bewitched by Wei Lei.

Fortunately, Tang Ye had enlightened her and saved her in time!

Accompanied by the rushing water washing over her fair and smooth skin.

Her emotions toward Tang Ye, however, became complicated.

The resentment born from suffering defeat gradually dissolved and dissipated, replaced by a touch of approval and gratitude.

……

Tang Ye returned to the Town Government and had not been seated for long.

Hong Yu knocked on the door.

Tang Ye was a bit surprised and smiled as he brewed tea for Hong Yu, "What wind blew you here?"

Hong Yu took the teacup from Tang Ye's hand and said with a beaming smile, "I came to find you, naturally because I have a favor to ask."

Tang Ye was slightly taken aback.

It was truly rare to hear someone ask for a favor so righteously.

Out of respect for Hong Ruilin, Tang Ye was still quite polite to Hong Yu.

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Hong Yu took out a project proposal and handed it to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye took it in his hands and began to flip through it, his brows slightly furrowed, "I have seen this project proposal before; the developer's qualifications are problematic, so I rejected it at the time."

Tang Ye did not expect that the project proposal Hong Yu brought was actually the same one Zhong Hui had submitted at the meeting last time.

It had to be said that this developer called Hongzhen had some tricks up their sleeve, actually managing to lobby Hong Yu into submitting the plan to him.

Hong Yu paused, then smiled and explained, "I am now the vice president of this company. The company's boss is exceptionally capable and has given me great terms, an annual salary of 500,000, and I have also bought a stake, investing 1,000,000. This is the first thing I've handled since taking office, so please help me out."

Tang Ye could not refuse directly and said with a smile, "Leave the project proposal with me; I will study it carefully and then give you an answer."

Hong Yu did not realize that Tang Ye was using a stalling tactic; she moved closer to where Tang Ye was sitting and lowered her voice, "I'll reveal a secret to you: in order to raise funds, the company is offering special policies. If you are willing to buy a stake, there is a 30% return every month! Are you interested?"

Hearing that the returns were so high, Tang Ye immediately became vigilant, "I'm not interested! Such high returns are very abnormal; you must be extremely careful."

Hong Yu looked at Tang Ye with disappointment, then immediately squeezed out a smile, "These returns are definitely only for a few people. If you aren't interested, then forget it."

Hong Yu had the look of someone afraid that he was blocking her from getting rich.

Tang Ye secretly broke into a cold sweat for Song Jin.

After Hong Yu left, Tang Ye called Guo Liang in.

Guo Liang took the project proposal, his brows tightly furrowed, "I went to the Hongzhen project site for a field investigation; their strength is indeed not as strong as the proposal claims. But they do possess development capabilities; they have a project in Runjiang where they have already acquired the land, but construction has not yet started."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "Continue to observe, and thoroughly investigate the several projects under their name."

If it weren't for Hong Yu mentioning that the project had a 30% investment profit.

Tang Ye would not have taken it so seriously.

……

The ringing of the phone interrupted Tang Ye's train of thought.

Shen Datong's voice came through.

"Town Mayor Tang, the location for dinner tonight has already been sent to you. Please be sure to arrive on time!"
