Chapter 156: Challenging a Man's Weak Spot!

Chu Dongfa was stunned.

However, he regained his composure in an instant!

As expected, it was just feigned politeness.

"Brother Tang, I felt like we were old friends the moment we met. You must not feel burdened. Do you feel it's too little? How about this, how about this: the furniture and appliances for your home, leave it all to me."

Tang Ye grabbed Chu Dongfa's arm, his face full of deep emotion, "I really didn't expect you, Principal Chu, to be so loyal! But how can I let you spend your own money?"

Chu Dongfa pondered; sure enough, his judgment hadn't been wrong—Tang Ye's appetite was indeed very large.

"How could that be considered me spending my own money? At the end of the day, it's all earned by your own ability!"

"I don't quite understand what you mean by that. Although we civil servants sound respectable, we only take home that fixed salary every month. It's hard to get rich in this lifetime!"

A flash of cunning amusement crossed Chu Dongfa's face, "Previously, you and the Northeast Chamber of Commerce secured two million in sponsorship for the school. If this were in a company, based on a ten percent commission, that would be an income of two hundred thousand."

Tang Ye first pulled up his zipper, feigning helplessness, "That logic holds, but in actual practice, it's not that easy."

Seeing the timing was ripe, Chu Dongfa hurried to strike while the iron was hot, "That President Shang is an expert in this area. As long as you sign that purchase list, he can arrange everything for you perfectly, ensuring you have no worries at all. Even if the audit department comes to check the accounts, they absolutely won't be able to find a single flaw."

Tang Ye appeared somewhat tempted, but immediately revealed a look of worry, saying: "Brother Chu, don't you try to trick me. You also know that I am still determined to achieve great things in my official career."

Chu Dongfa continued to incite him, "What is two hundred thousand?

When Xu Yiping was the Party Committee Secretary before, the money he skimmed from the school every year was at least seven figures. Later, when Xu Yiping got into trouble, wasn't I still perfectly fine?

I can't guarantee anything about skimming money elsewhere, but here with me, you can set your mind completely at ease!"

Tang Ye gritted his teeth, the expression on his face as if he were undergoing an intense internal struggle.

Seeing this, Chu Dongfa deliberately said: "If you are truly unwilling, then forget it; just pretend I never said anything today." With that, he made a move as if to walk toward the door.

Just then, his arm was grabbed by Tang Ye.

Chu Dongfa felt a surge of secret joy, turned his head with feigned surprise, and asked Tang Ye: "Have you thought it through?"

Tang Ye wore a pained expression and said: "Brother Chu, let me tell you the truth. I plan to get married at the end of the year, but my partner's family is making all sorts of demands. They insist on a four-bedroom apartment, the renovation costs twenty thousand, the bride price is one hundred eighty-eight thousand, and we have to hold the banquet at the City Guest House. Adding all the odds and ends together, it's at least over a million. I really have no other way."

Chu Dongfa patted Tang Ye on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "Getting married is indeed expensive these days. But look at it from another angle: as long as you join our circle, with your ability and position, this bit of money is nothing at all."

Tang Ye gripped Chu Dongfa's hand tightly and said with a face full of gratitude: "Then I will have to thank you, Brother Chu. I will sign that budget application first thing tomorrow morning."

Chu Dongfa grinned and said: "Regarding your home renovation costs, I will have President Shang handle it all for you. You go ahead and take care of your business; I'll wait for you outside."

Tang Ye suddenly grabbed Chu Dongfa again and said: "Brother Chu, I have one more presumptuous request."

Chu Dongfa looked at Tang Ye with some surprise and said: "Speak your mind, don't be polite."

"I also want to challenge a man's weak spot. I have quite a good impression of Teacher Mo; she really fits my aesthetic. Of course, if she is unwilling, just pretend I never said this." A glimmer of anticipation showed in Tang Ye's eyes.

Chu Dongfa was startled at first, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I have to ask her about this; I can't guarantee it will work out. If she is unwilling, I will still arrange things perfectly for you and Town Mayor Guo today. President Shang has extensive resources; he can find you whatever kind you want."

Tang Ye deliberately put on an embarrassed look, "I still feel more at ease with someone I'm slightly familiar with; it won't be as awkward."

To Chu Dongfa, Mo Xiaoyu was merely a tool; she could satisfy his own selfish desires and, on certain occasions, serve as a means to curry favor with others.

Despite this, he still feigned a look of difficulty, "Town Mayor Tang has a good eye. I will try my best to arrange it for you."

Mo Xiaoyu was called outside the private room by Chu Dongfa.

Chu Dongfa took a hotel room card out of his pocket, "Tang Ye is quite good at putting on an act. He is interested in you; tonight, you should accompany him well."

Mo Xiaoyu looked at Chu Dongfa in shock, bit her lip, and said: "Old Chu, what do you take me for?"

Chu Dongfa pinched Mo Xiaoyu's cheek, "I have always regarded you as my most capable partner. Tang Ye is young, and his future prospects are limitless. Investing in him now is definitely the right move."

Mo Xiaoyu fell into a state of extreme conflict.

Previously, Tang Ye had been indifferent to her, which had been a huge blow to her heart, and that strong sense of unwillingness had always lingered in her mind.

Yet now, suddenly hearing that Tang Ye had actually proposed that she accompany him, a complex emotion surged within her.

Disappointment and vanity were intertwined.

Sure enough, men are all animals governed by desire.

Although she was already thirty, she could still tug at the heartstrings of a man younger than herself.

Seeing the hesitation on Mo Xiaoyu's face, Chu Dongfa thought she was unwilling to agree, so he took a bank card out of his bag, handed it to her, and said: "Once the matter is done, feel free to swipe this card."

Mo Xiaoyu feigned reserve and pushed it away, "Old Chu, I'm not with you just for money."

Chu Dongfa laughed and patted Mo Xiaoyu on the buttocks, "I know what I'm doing. When the time is right, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer."

Chu Dongfa felt exceptionally pleased after giving the money away; with Tang Ye's status in Pinghu, having him cover for him meant he would have absolutely no worries in the future.

"The time is about right. The two Town Mayors have had quite a bit to drink. I originally planned to take you to sing, but why don't you just go to the rooms to rest? I've already opened rooms for you, themed king-size rooms." Seeing Tang Ye's eyes drifting toward Mo Xiaoyu, Chu Dongfa said, pushing the boat along with the current.

"Alright, then let's go to the hotel to rest." Tang Ye seemed to have had too much to drink and was swaying.

Mo Xiaoyu hurried over, supported Tang Ye, and said with concern, "Town Mayor Tang, be careful!"

Tang Ye leaned into her ear, feigning a flirtatious tone, "I can't be careful at all."

Watching Tang Ye and Mo Xiaoyu pressed together, a hint of amusement appeared in Chu Dongfa's eyes.

A young official with a rising reputation and infinite potential had been successfully dragged into the water by him.

He couldn't help but feel incredibly smug!
