Chapter 1250: You Underestimate Tang Ye Too Much!

Du Xiaofeng returned home, where Xie Miao and her new son-in-law Kuang Zhaoting were sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Mom, you're back!" Xie Miao hurriedly brought slippers over to Du Xiaofeng.

Du Xiaofeng said gloomily, "Don't trouble yourselves, I can do it myself."

Seeing Du Xiaofeng's reaction, Xie Miao's heart skipped a beat, "Mom, did it not go well?"

Du Xiaofeng sat down and crossed her arms, "Your uncle is a very principled person. Actually, before I went to find him, I already knew this would be the result."

Xie Miao complained, "My uncle is too rigid. It's really just a matter of him saying one word."

Du Xiaofeng pointed at Xie Miao's forehead and poked it hard, saying angrily, "You child, how can you talk like that? Without your uncle, could our family have the life we have now?"

Seeing Kuang Zhaoting sitting uneasily with an awkward expression, Xie An comforted him, "Little Kuang, we have already done our best regarding your situation. The interview still depends on you, so don't be discouraged. Just perform well, and if you don't get a fair result in the end, we will think of other ways then."

A smile was squeezed onto Kuang Zhaoting's face, "Dad, I am very grateful for your help. Actually, I have thought it through clearly; I still need to rely on myself."

Seeing that Kuang Zhaoting was quite mature, Du Xiaofeng said, "Actually, my brother is right. If you don't become an official and continue being a university teacher, it might not be a bad thing. The officialdom is very complicated; if you get involved, you might be framed by others for no reason."

Xie Miao, however, was unwilling to give up, because she had communicated with Kuang Zhaoting in private, and he still very much wanted to enter the officialdom to temper himself.

With the connection of a Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Kuang Zhaoting also felt that he would definitely be able to make a name for himself.

Xie Miao suggested, "Mom, I have an idea. How about we ask Tang Ye for help?"

Du Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, "I did run into him today when he returned from Yechuan. We chatted for a few sentences, and he was quite enthusiastic. However, is it useful to ask him? He doesn't even work in Hanzhou!"

Xie Miao rolled her eyes at Du Xiaofeng, "Mom, you underestimate Tang Ye too much. Even though he is no longer in Hanzhou, he still has connections and resources. As long as he helps, it will definitely work."

Du Xiaofeng curled her lip, "I think you are grasping at straws. If you want to pursue this, go contact him yourself!"

Xie Miao shook her head, "He has already talked to you. If he is willing to help, he will definitely take action. If I emphasize it to him again, it will only make him feel that we are too utilitarian."

Du Xiaofeng waved her hand, "I don't want to manage this matter anymore. I just recently improved my relationship with your eldest uncle, and now I'm disliked by him again because of this. Don't bother me with similar things in the future."

Xie Miao and Kuang Zhaoting returned to their residence.

Seeing that Kuang Zhaoting was in low spirits, Xie Miao encouraged him, "My uncle is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he scolded my mom and refused to put in a word for you, if you really encounter unfairness, he will definitely step in. So you must work hard and strive to perform well during the interview."

Kuang Zhaoting held Xie Miao's hand, "Secretary Du is a good cadre, and this matter has indeed put him in a difficult position. I am mentally prepared; at worst, I'll go back to school to continue teaching and be a carefree person who stays out of worldly affairs."

Xie Miao said very seriously, "I believe in your strength; you will definitely be able to pass this Public Selection and realize your ambitions."

Kuang Zhaoting patted the back of Xie Miao's hand, "Thank you. You really are an exceptionally good wife."

Xie Miao said, "I know my eldest uncle's son-in-law quite well; he is an enthusiastic person. If he is willing to step in, things will be easy to handle."

"Tang Ye? How old is he, and what is his position now?" Kuang Zhaoting asked curiously.

"Thirty-one years old, serving as the County Magistrate in Yechuan County. It's the real one, not a deputy!" Xie Miao said.

A look of surprise appeared in Kuang Zhaoting's eyes, "Truly remarkable! It seems your eldest uncle is still capable of being flexible."

Xie Miao knew Kuang Zhaoting's thoughts and corrected his perception, "Tang Ye was able to rise up entirely on his own. His ability is exceptionally strong; he was even on the CCTV news a while ago!"

Kuang Zhaoting smiled sheepishly, "I misunderstood."

Kuang Zhaoting is thirty-eight years old this year, and he is participating in a Public Selection for a Deputy Division Level Official.

If he could succeed, he would be a Deputy Division Level Official before the age of forty, which would be like his ancestors smoking from the grave.

Compared to Tang Ye, he was still a long way behind.

However, thinking about it carefully, he didn't even know the result of this Public Selection yet!

According to rumors, the third-place candidate in the written exam has a very powerful background.

Tang Ye arrived at the rooftop garden and dialed Cheng Lin's phone number.

"Sister Lin, are you resting?"

"It's only ten o'clock, it's still early. Is something the matter?"

"I wouldn't visit the temple without a reason," Tang Ye laughed, "There is a situation I want to report to you. Secretary Du's niece's husband is participating in this Hanzhou Municipal Public Selection. According to what he understands, the position he is applying for is suspected to be a 'radish post'. There is no smoke without fire, so I wanted to ask you to look into it."

Hearing this, Cheng Lin was somewhat surprised, "There is actually such a thing? What is his name, and what position did he apply for?"

Tang Ye had already looked into it, "His name is Kuang Zhaoting, a teacher at the Hanzhou University School of Environmental Protection, and he applied for a position at the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau."

Cheng Lin's tone was serious, "Rest assured, I will definitely treat this matter seriously."

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Cheng Lin shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Tang Ye is starting to keep secrets from her when he speaks now.

It looks like he is reporting unfairness, but he is actually recommending Kuang Zhaoting.

This Public Selection was coordinated and managed by Cheng Lin from start to finish.

Therefore, she places extreme importance on fairness.

If a 'radish recruitment' really appeared, she would certainly not sit idly by.

After Chen Lan came to Hanzhou to work, she lived in Yunhu Courtyard and spent every day with Du Xi. Their relationship became extremely close, and they talked about almost everything.

Du Xi mentioned her story with Tang Ye to Chen Lan.

Du Xi emphasized repeatedly that she was the one who took the initiative to pursue Tang Ye, which made Chen Lan feel intrigued, moved, and even a little envious.

At first, Chen Lan was jealous of Du Xi because her marriage was happier than her own.

However, she later figured it out.

If she were in her shoes, standing from Du Xi's perspective, when love arrived, could she have been as unhesitating as her?

The answer was negative.

Before Chen Lan took a bath, Tang Ye was on the phone on the rooftop.

After she finished her bath, they happened to meet in the hallway.

Chen Lan was only wearing pajamas, and her slender figure cast a graceful, slanted shadow under the diffusion of the corridor lights.

She subconsciously wrapped her arms around her chest to block the glimpses of spring that might be revealed, "Are you not resting yet?"

"Yeah, I just finished a call," Tang Ye looked up and smiled.

"Then get some rest early!"

"Mm, goodnight!"

With a beautiful and moving sister-in-law suddenly in the house, Tang Ye felt a bit unaccustomed and uneasy.

However, thinking about it again, he only returned home occasionally, and with Chen Lan keeping Du Xi company, it could be considered a way to make her less lonely.
