Chapter 229: Still a Hidden Second-Generation Rich!

Du Xiaofeng's car needs to be sent to a 4S dealership for repairs.

Tang Ye then called Sun Hai in advance to ask for help.

"Monkey, emergency, drive over to pick someone up."

"You're in luck, I didn't drink at lunch today. Where's the address? I'm heading over right now."

After finishing the meal, Sun Hai drove over in his newly purchased Audi.

Xiao Qin is no stranger to Sun Hai; once the car started moving, she introduced him to Du Chengfeng with a smile.

"This is the Sun Hai that Little Tang often mentions. He is Du Xi's classmate and also Tang Ye's good brother."

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly and asked nonchalantly, "I heard you hold shares in Qinge? How is Qinge's development going?"

Sun Hai thought that since Du Chengfeng is Tang Ye's future father-in-law, he should tell the truth: "Last month, Qinge's sales reached 15 million. Next month, the products will also be listed for sale on the TV shopping channel. Barring any surprises, sales will continue to grow."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be a bit surprised and pressed, "How are the profits?"

Sun Hai quickly replied with a smile: "Qinge is different from other factories; our main sales channel is the internet. Because there are no agents, the profit margin is over 30 percent. Uncle Du, how about I send you the sales report later?"

Du Chengfeng knew that Tang Ye had once helped a clothing company in Pinghu successfully transform, and the results were remarkable.

But he truly did not expect that in less than a year, this factory's sales could exceed 100 million, with profits as high as tens of millions. Such an astonishing growth rate, let alone in Tianling County, could be considered a leader even in all of Hanzhou.

Tang Ye is indeed a talent.

If he didn't go into politics and chose to go into business, he would definitely have achieved something with his vision and brains.

Qin Lan is now also one of the shareholders of Qinge, and the annual dividend amount must be quite considerable.

Previously, when the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection investigated Tang Ye, they had already reached a conclusion on this situation.

At that time, Tang Ye's original intention was to save a bankrupt enterprise, and he invested in Qin Lan's name; the process did not misappropriate any public resources.

Therefore, this portion of income is equivalent to having been filed in advance and can withstand subsequent scrutiny.

Du Chengfeng suddenly realized that while Tang Ye is usually low-key and keeps a low profile, he is actually a proper "second-generation rich."

For Tang Ye, who is a civil servant, having no financial worries is undoubtedly a good thing.

In this way, he is less likely to be tempted by money and will not be troubled by economic issues.

"Pinghu now has many enterprises that have achieved good development through E-commerce. In a few more years, new enterprises like Qinge will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain. These are all changes brought about by Tang Ye."

Sun Hai took advantage of this opportunity to quickly put in a good word for Tang Ye.

How could Du Chengfeng not see through Sun Hai's thoughts? He smiled faintly, "Bring me Qinge's sales report tomorrow to take a look. If what you say is true, Tianling County will take Qinge as a model enterprise and call on the whole society to learn and imitate it."

Sun Hai was overjoyed, "Thank you, Secretary, for the opportunity. Please rest assured, once you see our sales report and check our tax records, you will know I am not bragging!"

After returning home, Xiao Qin couldn't wait to call Du Xi's mentor's wife.

She happily shared the various details of today's dinner and requested that the other party find a suitable time for the matchmakers to meet together and properly discuss the wedding date for the two children.

Just as the call ended, Du Xi returned home.

She walked to Xiao Qin's side with a smile and quietly tucked a red envelope into Xiao Qin's pocket.

Xiao Qin opened the envelope and looked at Du Xi in surprise, asking, "Didn't I tell you to give the card to Tang Ye?"

Du Xi explained with a smile: "Auntie Qin refused to accept it no matter what, only saying she accepted the sentiment."

Xiao Qin frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Since it was already sent out, how could you be embarrassed to take it back?"

Du Xi hugged Xiao Qin tightly and said affectionately, "Mom, if his family encounters difficulties in the future, it won't be too late for us to take the money out to help. Besides, Tang Ye and I have already discussed it; we don't plan to have a big wedding."

Xiao Qin sighed with emotion: "Fine, Little Tang is indeed sensible. Even your aunt, who is so mean-spirited, doesn't have many complaints about him now. She was still making a fuss about this card before, telling you to have a child surnamed Du in the future."

Du Xi was stunned for a moment and said very seriously, "Mom, you must never have such ignorant thoughts. Whether they are surnamed Du or Tang, aren't they still my and his children?"

Xiao Qin knew what her daughter was thinking; she only had Tang Ye in her heart and was afraid that she would make things difficult for him.

"I'm not even surnamed Du, so I don't have the time to worry about this."

The Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Group officially issued a red-headed document, deciding to open up two new New Reclamation Areas within the province.

The location for one of the New Reclamation Areas was confirmed to be Pinghu Town, Tianling County, Hanzhou.

Once this news spread, it was like a bombshell, instantly causing excitement within the Tianling County Government.

And for Pinghu Town, it was like a blessing from heaven; the whole town was immersed in joy and anticipation.

Tang Ye analyzed the province's intentions; this was to concentrate high-quality resources to create a signature project.

Tang Ye received a call from Chen Zhihua.

Chen Zhihua was extremely excited: "Section Chief Tang, I just saw this document and it feels like a dream. I have to confirm with you, is the New Reclamation Area really going to be located in our Pinghu Town?"

Tang Ye understood Chen Zhihua's mood.

As a grassroots official, encountering a project of this scale, as long as no problems arise during his tenure, it is almost certain that he will be promoted later.

For Chen Zhihua, it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would follow the routine and retire with a Section Chief rank.

But who could have imagined that at the end of his career, he would encounter one opportunity after another.

"That's right, could the document be fake?" Tang Ye replied with a smile, "The province is very optimistic about Pinghu Town's geographical location and hopes to use the Resort Project and the New Reclamation Area as two key projects to fully revitalize Pinghu Town's economy and create a large-scale model area for rural revitalization. Old Chen, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy."

Chen Zhihua said with a smile, "The difficulty of getting the project is greater; I will mainly be doing the execution later. Although you have already left Pinghu Town, everyone still misses you in their hearts."

Recalling the more than half a year spent in Pinghu Town, it was undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable experiences in Tang Ye's life.

"When you and your wife have time, come to the city to find me, and I will treat you well then. When I was in Pinghu Town, I ate plenty of the meals your wife cooked." Tang Ye extended an invitation warmly.

Chen Zhihua joked with a smile: "We'll go when we find a suitable time. Your sister-in-law has been promoted to director now, and her temper has grown as well."

"Sister-in-law is impressive."

Tang Ye knew that Chen Zhihua was very tough outside, but at home, he was "henpecked," or what is called a 'rake ear' in the Sichuan-Chongqing region.

After chatting with Chen Zhihua for a while, Tang Ye felt exceptionally relaxed.

In officialdom, there has always been the saying that "when people leave, the tea goes cold."

However, Tang Ye had left Pinghu Town for several months, and there were still people thinking of him.

This friendship is truly rare.

However, the people in this circle are all realistic; if you cannot provide others with benefits, naturally, no one will revolve around you.
