Chapter 1411: Quite Controversial Viewpoints!

Du Xi had four days of vacation, so Tang Ye took time off on Saturday to take Du Xi to visit attractions in Yanjing such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.

Tang Ye felt that he owed Du Xi.

Since the two married, they had been together less and apart more, and the opportunities for them to travel alone were few and far between.

If it were an ordinary woman, it would be hard to avoid having many complaints, but Du Xi had always been unconditionally understanding and tolerant toward him.

Saturday night, he recharged for another hour.

Tang Ye exhausted all his energy and said exhaustedly, "Alright, I'm completely out of power this time."

Du Xi recovered from the tingling, dizzy state and said with a smile, "Hubby, you actually don't have to work so hard! My heart aches for you."

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How come I hear that what you're saying is a bit insincere!"

Du Xi reached out to gently stroke Tang Ye's cheek and said softly, "Director Hao from the Personnel and Police Affairs Division talked to me last week; next month, I will be transferred to an Administrative and Logistics Post."

Tang Ye heard the disappointment in her tone and said, "Making you leave the Criminal Police Team where you have struggled for many years is indeed making things difficult for you. You have sacrificed too much for me and for An'an."

Du Xi smiled faintly, "Liu Fang is right; between you and me, one of us must focus on the family. Don't worry, I will be a good helpmate to you."

Tang Ye smiled, "That's because Liu Fang quit her job to be a full-time housewife, which is why she would advise you like that."

Du Xi shook her head, "I think she is very right. I did have dreams before, wanting to be an excellent female criminal police officer. But I understand now that any profession requires talent. Rather than striving to chase the dream of being a criminal police officer, it is better to be a good Mrs. Tang and help you handle the logistics and support work."

Tang Ye smiled, "Why are you so understanding?"

Du Xi said with a hint of pride: "If I weren't understanding enough, how could I have won you over? I have fulfilled my greatest wish. One shouldn't be too greedy!"

Tang Ye pulled Du Xi into his arms.

In terms of marriage, he had never envied anyone...

Happy times are always very short.

On Sunday night, Tang Ye took Du Xi to the airport.

After Du Xi passed through security, Tang Ye suddenly felt dazed, feeling as if the reunion of these past few days was like a dream.

Actually, the distance between Yanjing and Hanzhou is not that far; what is truly far is the confinement and estrangement of the human heart.

Thinking of this point, Tang Ye felt as if a knot in his heart had suddenly been untied.

Many worries also suddenly became clear.

"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Du Xi called: "Hubby, I've arrived home safely. An'an didn't want to be close to me at all when she saw me just now. It's true that children are closest to whoever raises them; I don't seem that important."

"Why are you competing with our daughter? Hurry up and take a shower! Get some rest early!" Tang Ye said with a smile.

Du Xi replied softly: "You get some rest early too."

After Tang Ye finished showering, he opened his laptop and pulled up the graduation thesis he had started preparing long ago.

The direction he chose this time was to analyze the development trend of the domestic economy over the next ten years from the perspective of international strategy.

This thesis had two quite controversial viewpoints.

The first was the real estate industry, which was currently in full swing.

Tang Ye believed that the next ten years would be the most fanatical and also the most dangerous stage for the real estate industry.

Real estate would still be the main driving force for economic growth,

but once the industry bubble burst, it would easily trigger a collapse of the property market, thereby shaking the foundation of the country's economic development.

The second was that the internet economy would push Huaguo to transform from an industry follower to a global leader.

The brand-new economic model spawned by the internet would incubate a large number of emerging industries.

In the process of iteration and replacement of old and new industries, it would inevitably cause some traditional industries to go bankrupt and be eliminated.

Regarding the internet economy, a series of control regulations must be introduced,

to guide the new economy from barbaric growth toward stable and healthy development.

Although the current discourse environment is inclusive and open, the training class Tang Ye was attending was at a very high level,

and the viewpoints in the thesis had to be handled with discretion and be exceptionally rigorous.

Therefore, Tang Ye repeatedly deliberated over his wording and was exceptionally careful.

Finally, he finished typing the last word!

Tang Ye glanced at the time and realized he had stayed up all night without knowing it!

Fortunately, the entire thesis finally had a complete prototype.

Tang Ye sent the draft to Hong Ruilin and then sent a text message to Hong Ruilin.

"Mentor, I have sent the graduation thesis for this training to your email. Please take some time to look at it when you are free, and be sure to give me some pertinent advice! Thank you very much!"

Hong Ruilin replied quickly, "Okay, I will read it carefully."

Tang Ye did not expect Hong Ruilin to reply so quickly,

and couldn't help but sigh that, sure enough, once people get older, their sleep time shortens.

It was only five in the morning, and Hong Ruilin was already up.

Hong Ruilin opened his computer, pulled up the thesis, read it for a long time, slowly took off his reading glasses, and rubbed his temples.

He sighed to himself, "I really am old!"

Looking at the many emerging terms and cutting-edge theories in the text, he suddenly realized that he didn't know when he had stopped keeping up with the rhythm of current social development.

After Tang Ye finished class, he opened his email and saw Hong Ruilin's reply.

The revision suggestions given by Hong Ruilin mainly focused on the control of the article's stance.

He suggested not to view the industry situation too pessimistically and to add positive and affirmative expressions.

In this way, the thesis's intent would be fuller, and it would weaken the impression of being a naysayer or throwing cold water.

Tang Ye felt deeply that ginger is still spicier when it's old.

Everyone has a different perspective, so their views on the same matter are naturally poles apart.

He had access to more cutting-edge information and was more in tune with the changing times;

whereas Hong Ruilin was able to examine the overall situation from a higher vantage point.

To put it bluntly, the views in the first draft were slightly frivolous.

Hong Ruilin defined the scope and boundaries for the paper, making the content more steady and balanced,

and ensuring it would not be easily labeled as having extremist, leftist, or rightist ideologies!

……

Entering November, the weather in Yanjing gradually began to turn cold.

Under the assault of a strong cold front over the past week, the trees had long since lost their vitality; withered yellow leaves drifted to the ground in the cold wind, and the bare branches appeared exceptionally desolate.

Winter clothing like cashmere sweaters and down jackets began to sell well; people changed into thick clothes early, wrapping their bodies up like large rice dumplings, and even cold-weather goods like electric blankets and heaters were selling like hotcakes—this was what they called the business opportunity of a cold wave.

In the morning, Tang Ye received a call from Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing said, "I've come to Yanjing for a meeting these past few days. There is a dinner party tonight; come and join us."

Tang Ye hurriedly said, "Alright, is there anything I need to prepare?"

Jiang Jing shook her head, "No need!"

Tang Ye joked, "Then have the driver come pick me up early, so I don't get stuck in traffic and end up late again!"

Jiang Jing couldn't help but laugh, "Rest assured, the team at the Municipal Office in Beijing has already been adjusted!"

From Jiang Jing's understated remark, Tang Ye felt the decisive and resolute spirit of a Municipal Party Secretary!
