Chapter 1384: Emotional Intelligence is the True Art of Life!

Tang Ye hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Xiao Hui, is something the matter?"

Xiao Hui's tone was a bit anxious, "Tang Ye, I want to ask you for a favor. Shao Jinbo has run into trouble."

Tang Ye asked in surprise, "What kind of trouble?"

Xiao Hui gave a bitter smile, "He has been obsessed with online games. He tried to buy equipment from another player offline, but ended up getting scammed by the player. He tracked the scammer down, got into an argument with them, and ended up beating them into a serious injury."

Tang Ye frowned and said, "Why is he so impulsive? This matter shouldn't be hard to handle. If he settles with the other party, shouldn't it be fine?"

Xiao Hui shook her head with a bitter smile, "The other party's family found out where Shao Jinbo works, then went to his workplace to make a scene, making it known to everyone! Now the unit leadership wants to fire him."

Tang Ye knew that Shao Jinbo was dispirited and lacked ambition.

He hadn't expected him to have become so degenerate, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Ye said very seriously,

"Xiao Hui, I really can't help you with this. First of all, you should know the relationship between me and Shao Jinbo; although we were classmates, our relationship was not harmonious. He even once plotted to frame me. Although that happened several years ago, I am petty and not that magnanimous.

Secondly, even if I helped Shao Jinbo get through this difficulty, he lacks ambition and still won't change. He is an adult; he needs to seriously reflect on his own mistakes when he does something wrong."

Xiao Hui was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Tang Ye, I know you have always held a grudge in your heart. He has always had a thorn in his side regarding what happened between the three of us in high school. I am not asking you to forgive him, but for my sake, can you help him once?"

Past events from high school?

That's ancient history!

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment.

Back then, he indeed had feelings for Xiao Hui.

However, that was long in the past.

Tang Ye shook his head and said very seriously, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. You should find a way yourself!"

"Alright, I will find a way myself. Also, congratulations."

"Congratulations to me?"

"I know you are going to attend the training class at the Central Party School. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am genuinely happy for you."

"Thank you. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now!"

Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Xiao Hui felt extremely conflicted.

It was understandable that Tang Ye refused to help her!

In her view, the root of the conflict between Tang Ye and Shao Jinbo lay with her.

Was it because Tang Ye couldn't let go of his past feelings that he refused to forgive Shao Jinbo?

Perhaps, in Tang Ye's heart, there was still a place for her.

Tang Ye tossed his phone aside, shook his head, and sighed, muttering to himself, "Xiao Hui and Shao Jinbo, they really are a bizarre pair!"

Xiao Hui returned home.

The sound of Shao Jinbo playing games came from the room.

Xiao Hui pushed open the door and asked coldly, "You're still in the mood to play games?"

Shao Jinbo glanced at Xiao Hui nonchalantly, "Why wouldn't I be in the mood?"

Xiao Hui was trembling with anger, "Your unit is going to fire you, don't you know how to reflect on yourself?"

Shao Jinbo tapped the keyboard, "I have reflected. This job isn't suitable, so I resigned."

Xiao Hui widened her eyes in disbelief, "You resigned?"

Shao Jinbo put down the mouse and looked at Xiao Hui, "That's right! I resigned. I've thought it through. I'll change industries and do some business. Don't worry, give me some time, and I will definitely make you look at me with new eyes."

Xiao Hui's eyes were red, "You are truly beyond saving. You threw away a perfectly good iron rice bowl; you will definitely regret this."

Shao Jinbo shook his head firmly, "I will absolutely not regret it. Although a job within the system is stable, it won't make me a fortune. Just watch how I make a fortune!"

Xiao Hui gave up on Shao Jinbo completely, cursed him for being unreasonable, and walked into her own room.

Xiao Hui lay on the bed and touched her abdomen.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"It's not that Mommy doesn't want to give birth to you. It's that he isn't fit to be a father. If I bring you into this world, your life is destined to be incomplete."

Xiao Hui finally made the decision not to let this child have a terrible life script like she did.

Shao Jinbo stared at the game interface on the monitor, feeling as if his heart had been slashed by a blade.

The virtual game suddenly felt dull and flavorless.

Giving up a stable job required great determination.

However, since Shao Jinbo had chosen to walk this path, he would walk it unswervingly.

He knew that on the original track, he had already been left several streets behind by Tang Ye.

Only by changing tracks would he have the opportunity to prove his worth to Xiao Hui.

Early the next morning, a private car was waiting downstairs at the hotel to pick them up.

Tang Ye met up with Cheng Guodong at the airport.

All matters on the trip, big and small, were coordinated in an orderly fashion by Cheng Guodong's Secretary.

Tang Ye sighed inwardly; this was the answer to why people wanted to be officials.

Things he couldn't think of, and his wife couldn't think of, his subordinates thought of with the utmost care.

Having subordinates provide this kind of ultimate service experience could give a person the greatest satisfaction.

At the same time, when encountering a Secretary with such high emotional intelligence, it would be hard for a leader not to promote them.

They waited for their flight in the VIP lounge.

Cheng Guodong suddenly asked, "Tang Ye, do you know how to play Go?"

"I know a little, but I'm not very proficient!"

Cheng Guodong laughed, "Don't lie to me. I know you are a Go expert."

Tang Ye hurriedly said, "I really only know the basics."

Cheng Guodong laughed, "There is still some time before boarding, let's play a game."

Tang Ye said, "Alright, but please don't mind that I'm a terrible player."

The Secretary watched Tang Ye and Cheng Guodong play Go from the side.

After a few moves, the Secretary discovered that Tang Ye's skill level was not low.

Moreover, Tang Ye's emotional intelligence was very high; he was clearly throwing the game, yet he managed to do it without leaving a trace.

In short, he ensured he didn't lose too badly, while also ensuring the situation remained favorable for Cheng Guodong.

The Secretary couldn't help but sigh inwardly; no wonder Tang Ye was able to make it onto the list for the Central Party School Division Level training class!

Worldly wisdom is a form of literature!

This kind of social sophistication is not something an ordinary person possesses.

Around three in the afternoon, the plane landed.

Staff from the Provincial Office in Beijing picked them up, and because there was still one day left before reporting, Tang Ye was arranged to stay at a Reception House under the Beijing Liaison Office.

Compared to the Reception House of the Xiyang City Office in Beijing, the conditions at the Huai Province Office in Beijing's Reception House were clearly much better.

After putting his things away, Tang Ye dialed Du Xi's phone number.

"Everything went very smoothly."

Du Xi nodded, "That's good. By the way, Xiao Hui just found me and said she plans to have an abortion; no matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, "How many times has she had an abortion now! She used work as an excuse not to have children before, what is it for this time?"

Du Xi sighed, "She complained to me that Shao Jinbo is useless, quit his job, mortgaged the house, and is preparing to go into business. She feels that she has no future with Shao Jinbo, so she doesn't want the child."

Tang Ye said softly, "Every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite..."

Du Xi said, "Husband, every time Xiao Hui complains to me about Shao Jinbo, I feel especially fortunate. Is this mindset of mine a bit evil?"

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh, "I have the same feeling; this is human nature!"
