Chapter 143: Invisible Super Advertisement!

Hong Yu sat in the passenger seat, her tears flowing like an open faucet.

Before long, she had used up an entire box of tissues.

Tang Ye found it distressing to watch and comforted her softly, "Don't be too sad. In a marriage, which couple doesn't face a few bumps in the road? Just grit your teeth and push through it."

Hong Yu sobbed, "Tell me, does he have someone else on the outside?"

Tang Ye was taken aback; her imagination was running wild. He hurriedly comforted her, "I know Brother Song. His character is rock solid; he would absolutely never do anything to wrong you."

While Tang Ye kept comforting her with his words, he thought to himself: If I had a wife like you, I'd also have to find an opportunity to properly fix all your bad habits.

They arrived at the Chongjiang County Youth League Committee office building.

Tang Ye dialed Song Jin's number.

As soon as Song Jin heard Tang Ye had come to find him, he ran downstairs.

When he saw Hong Yu standing next to Tang Ye, the smile on his face vanished in a flash, and he turned around to head back upstairs.

Seeing this, Hong Yu was frantic and wanted to rush over to stop Song Jin.

Tang Ye quickly shook his head at Hong Yu and instructed, "You wait here; I'll go persuade him."

Tang Ye jogged all the way and caught up to Song Jin in the hallway, "Brother Song, it's me, Tang Ye. I didn't let Sister Yu follow me."

Song Jin said with a helpless expression, "Town Mayor Tang, I really didn't expect her to beg you to intervene. You're here to persuade me to reconcile with her, right? But I've already thought it through, so please don't try to talk me out of it. Even without this investment matter, my marriage with her would have run into problems sooner or later."

Tang Ye waved his hand and said, "Brother Song, I won't meddle in your domestic affairs. There is a good opportunity right in front of you now; do you want to try for it?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jin looked at Tang Ye in surprise and said, "Oh? Tell me about it!"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Bao Chunsheng, the Director of the Land and Resources Bureau of Tianling County, is about to be removed from his post, and the position is opening up..."

Song Jin's eyes lit up instantly, "That position is highly sought after; a whole bunch of people are eyeing it!"

Tang Ye patted Song Jin on the shoulder and said, "If you want to give it a try, I can help you test the waters."

Song Jin's spirits were instantly lifted, and he said excitedly, "Then I'm truly grateful to you!"

Seeing that Song Jin's mood had improved, Tang Ye changed the subject and said, "Brother Song, although Sister Yu was a bit overconfident with her reckless investments before, she has surely learned her lesson after this incident. Why don't you give her another chance?"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Song Jin's mouth, "The divorce thing, I was just saying it out of anger. The kids are already so big, I don't have the spare time to deal with that mess."

Tang Ye grinned and said, "Then, for my sake, you two should reconcile. With a stable home, can't your career reach even greater heights?"

Song Jin understood in his heart that Tang Ye's words meant he wanted him to use the Hong family's connections to add fuel to his own political career.

If he insisted on divorcing Hong Yu at this time, the good opportunity would likely be gone.

Tang Ye brought Song Jin downstairs, and Song Jin walked over to Hong Yu, leaned into her ear, and whispered a few words.

Hong Yu immediately broke into a smile through her tears, and only then did Tang Ye feel at ease.

Song Jin wanted to treat Tang Ye to a meal, but Tang Ye politely declined.

After Tang Ye left, Hong Yu asked Song Jin curiously, "What did Tang Ye say to you that made you willing to forgive me?"

How could Song Jin tell the truth? He made up a lie, "He said you're pregnant with our second child."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yu's face turned red in a flash, and she tapped Song Jin lightly, chiding, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Song Jin sighed, "Regardless, we owe Tang Ye a huge favor!"

Hong Yu nodded slightly, "I've decided, once I get the money, I'll listen to his arrangements and invest everything into aquaculture!"

Song Jin was stunned for a moment.

Because he trusted Tang Ye enough, this time, he did not oppose Hong Yu's investment decision!

Chu Kun spilled everything about the cases the gang had committed over the past few years.

The whole country was in an uproar, especially those victims who had been in total despair; they now saw hope.

As the Team Leader of the Special Case Investigation Team, Tang Ye spent a lot of effort on registration and documentation.

On one hand, he carefully cross-referenced information, fearing that some might try to fish in troubled waters;

On the other hand, he followed the clues provided by Chu Kun, conducting a carpet search to ensure no victims were left out.

The common folk of Pinghu were lucky; they got back every single cent of the money they had lost.

Victims in other places could only recover seventy percent of their losses.

As soon as the money arrived, Hong Yu came to find Tang Ye.

"I've thought it through this time; I plan to take out all our family savings and invest them in the hairy crab farming project!"

"I'm very grateful that you trust me. However, while this project did lack startup capital before, the funds have already been secured recently."

Hong Yu looked full of disappointment and, in her anxiety, grabbed Tang Ye's arm, shouting, "That won't do! No matter what, you have to give me a chance!"

Tang Ye smiled and gently pulled Hong Yu's hand away, "For the sake of your sincere desire to invest, I'll make an exception and discuss it with Qianjin Village later to give you a chance. However, I can only give you a quota of 500,000 at most. But there is a prerequisite: you must pay off the mortgage you previously took out."

"Also, I must remind you that investing is not much different from gambling; there are risks. Although I am full of confidence in this project, you must be mentally prepared to accept failure if it happens to lose money."

Hong Yu widened her eyes and said with a firm smile, "If I lose, I'll accept it; I will never blame anyone!"

Tang Ye then called Tian Daming and asked him to arrange for the contract to be signed with Hong Yu.

The aquaculture project had just started, so more capital was definitely better.

But Tang Ye had his own little scheme; as the saying goes, rarity increases value. He had to let Hong Yu know that if she wanted to buy a stake, it depended on whether he, Tang Ye, was willing to give her the chance!

No sooner had Hong Yu left than Guo Liang came knocking on Tang Ye's office door with the *Southern Weekly*, his face flushed with excitement.

"Town Mayor Tang, the news report written by Reporter Tan has been published!

His writing style is simply divine; he wrote the case-solving process like a Hollywood blockbuster, absolutely thrilling.

He even praised our Pinghu to the high heavens!"

Tang Ye hurriedly took the newspaper and scanned it quickly; the headline read: "Why Was a Multi-Million Fraud Ring 'Wiped Out' in a Small Town?"

In 2006, print media had not yet been overturned by the internet.

And the *Southern Weekly* was a prestigious major newspaper in the country, with not only many readers but also high-quality content.

Being able to show one's face in a newspaper of this caliber is, for Pinghu, like running an invisible super advertisement!

Compared to promoting on the City Television Station or the Hanzhou Evening News, it is like the difference between heaven and earth!

……

At the same time, a thousand miles away in Hai Province.

A middle-aged man is holding the Southern Weekly and reading it.

Never expected that in this newspaper with readers all over the country, one could see a story that happened in one's own hometown……
