Chapter 135: Guo Liang Suddenly Lost Contact?

"What's the matter? Look at that serious face of yours!" Tang Ye asked with a grin.

"I took the liberty of picking out an apartment for you," Qin Lan said, and with a "slap," she pressed the keys into Tang Ye's palm.

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise: "Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"Hey, I can't pick a daughter-in-law, so I can't even have the final say on a wedding house?"

"You can, you can, it's just so sudden, I'm completely bewildered!"

"I mentioned it several times before, but every time you changed the subject. I know you want to buy a house with your own ability. But even though we can't help you much in your career, we still have the money to buy an apartment. Your father and I have worked for so many years and saved up some family wealth, plus the money you gave me before the new year, I picked out a 130-square-meter unit for you in a new development in the city, it's very spacious."

Good heavens, he had become a homeowner just like that? But why didn't he feel happy, and instead felt a bit uneasy? Tang Ye suddenly felt his nose tingle, quickly held back his emotions, and joked: "Are you two hiding any other surprises from me? For example, am I actually a rich second generation, and you two were afraid of spoiling me, so you kept it from me?"

Qin Lan retorted, reaching out to tap Tang Ye on the head: "Rich second generation, my foot! Don't you know the situation with your father and me? Your father never takes kickbacks from medical equipment suppliers, nor does he accept red envelopes from patients; what he has saved is all hard-earned money. Although I hold a senior management title, in the end, I'm just an employee. You have been diligent in your studies since you were a child, and you found a stable job after graduation, never making us worry; you have always been our pride. Buying you a house and worrying about your marriage is what we parents should do!"

Typical Chinese parents, spending their whole lives busy for their children. Tang Ye looked at the shiny keys in his hand, worth several hundred thousand, took a deep breath and said: "Mom, I accept your and Dad's good intentions. You really want to hold a grandson, right? Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy this wish of yours quickly."

The son started making empty promises again! Qin Lan smiled and said: "Du Xi is a very excellent girl, and your father and I are both very satisfied. You handle the pace of this matter yourself, we won't rush you. If the woman's side has any requirements for the wedding, we definitely won't let you down. As for the renovation, you and Du Xi discuss it; I'm afraid you won't like what I decorate."

"I'll handle the renovation myself!" Tang Ye thought to himself, on the road of struggle, there are always such unexpected surprises and touches; family is his greatest motivation for struggle, "You and Dad have done enough for me, from now on just wait to enjoy life!"

……

Early the next morning, Xu Qiao, holding the press release she had prepared for the newspaper, felt nervous and came to find Tang Ye.

It was Xu Qiao's first time writing such an article, and it was not quite satisfactory. While helping her revise it, Tang Ye talked to her about the requirements for a press release: "Your writing foundation is actually quite good, but a press release is different from writing official documents. A press release needs to be written like news; your draft has too much official jargon and clichés, you need to change your thinking and style."

Xu Qiao bit her lip and said: "Understood!"

Tang Ye encouraged her: "I know this is a bit difficult for you, but this is also a good opportunity to improve yourself."

Xu Qiao nodded vigorously: "I will definitely learn the lesson."

Afterwards, Tang Ye went to attend the Party Committee meeting. The first part was conveying the spirit of the meeting from higher-level departments, and the second part began to discuss the recent work priorities of the Government.

When it was Tang Ye's turn to speak, he brought good news: "Comrades, the City Television Station and the Hanzhou Evening News are willing to provide a promotional platform for our Pinghu. From now on, if everyone has any valuable news, provide feedback in a timely manner, and we will summarize it and report it to the media."

Chen Zhihua smiled and said: "Town Mayor Tang has secured an opportunity for us to show our faces. Everyone must cherish it and show off the advantages of our Pinghu well. At the end of the year, based on the quality of the articles, we will issue bonuses to departments and individuals who contribute actively."

Upon hearing there were bonuses, everyone instantly became spirited: "Town Mayor Tang, don't worry, we guarantee to complete the task!"

"By the way, if the article is selected, your names will appear in the newspaper as correspondents."

"I am a loyal reader of the Hanzhou Evening News! Just thinking about seeing my name in the newspaper makes me feel wonderful!"

Zhong Hui sighed secretly on the side; being a deputy to Tang Ye was truly too stressful.

Tang Ye could always unexpectedly bring various resources to Pinghu; looking at the tasks completed with such ease, he didn't know how many connections had been used behind the scenes. If it were him, he couldn't do it at all.

If you can't beat them, join them; Zhong Hui also recognized the reality and began to change his attitude, trying to cooperate with Tang Ye.

……

After finishing the work on hand in the morning, in the afternoon, Tang Ye reported his itinerary to Chen Zhihua and rushed back to the city.

He bought a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop near the hospital and pushed open the ward door.

The ward was quite lively; it turned out that Xiao Hui and several high school classmates had come to visit Du Xi. As soon as Tang Ye appeared holding the flowers, the high school classmates immediately started teasing.

Du Xi's face turned red in a "whoosh," her eyes sweeping over Tang Ye like autumn waves before she quickly lowered her head.

"Tang Ye, you are so romantic, even bringing flowers!"

"Du Xi, you are so happy! I have never received flowers in my life!"

"Xiao Hui, you must receive flowers often, right?"

"How could Shao Jinbo be so thoughtful?"

Tang Ye was usually thick-skinned, but he was also flushed red by the teasing.

Although Xiao Hui had long guessed that Tang Ye and Du Xi were together, she still felt a bit uneasy, as if she had lost something important.

Tang Ye placed the flowers on the bedside table and said with a smile: "Everyone's love is different; some like the mundane daily life, some pursue poetry and the distance, as long as you feel comfortable yourself!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hui felt even more uneasy. She and Shao Jinbo were already engaged; her parents approved of Shao Jinbo, and her relatives envied her for finding a good home, but only she knew that she had neither poetry and the distance nor the mundane daily life, living like a walking corpse every day, and the days were agonizing.

Xiao Hui returned to her residence and was about to call to ask if Shao Jinbo had any social engagements that night when Shao Jinbo happened to come home.

"I went to the hospital to see Du Xi today. Tang Ye was there too; they are in the middle of a passionate love, so affectionate."

Shao Jinbo glanced at Xiao Hui impatiently: "That kid Tang Ye has too deep a scheme. Back at the class reunion, he already started plotting against Du Xi!"

Xiao Hui disagreed in her heart; she knew that Du Xi was the active one in this relationship.

Xiao Hui couldn't be bothered to argue with Shao Jinbo, walked into the kitchen, and while washing vegetables, her mind wandered: she envied Du Xi, Shao Jinbo was jealous of Tang Ye; her and Shao Jinbo's mindsets were both a bit twisted.

……

Tang Ye returned home and took a shower, only to find a missed call on his phone from Guo Liang.

He called back, but found the other party's phone was turned off, and he felt suspicious.

At twelve o'clock in the night, Tang Ye was woken up by the phone, and upon answering, it was Xu Qiao's voice: "Master, my brother-in-law hasn't come back so late, and his phone can't be reached. My sister is worried to death, afraid that something happened to him."

Guo Liang had lost contact?

Tang Ye hurriedly tried to contact the previous missed call, but it still couldn't be reached.

Something is wrong... Tang Ye was now completely devoid of sleepiness and scrambled out of bed.
