Chapter 277: Xiao Qin's Secret to Husband-Raising!

The next morning.

Xiao Qin walked into the kitchen.

Du Xi was preparing breakfast.

"Why are you up so early today? Didn't you and Tang Ye go to sleep very late last night?"

Du Xi's cheeks instantly flushed, and she chided, "Mom, Tang Ye and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally we had a lot to talk about. Can you please be more mindful of what you say? Some things can be said, but others certainly cannot."

Xiao Qin was unimpressed; she chuckled and rolled her eyes at Du Xi. "I've been through it all, what's there that can't be said? Seeing you and Xiao Tang so affectionate, Mom couldn't be happier."

Du Xi had thin skin; she was so embarrassed by her mother's words that her face turned even redder. She urged, "Mom, you're getting more and more outrageous."

Xiao Qin put away her smile and said with a serious face, "After marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is of the utmost importance. As a woman, you must remember to carefully tend to a man's needs. If a man is satisfied at home, he naturally won't go flirting around outside.

Your father has worked for so many years, and I don't know how many women have taken the initiative to fawn over him, but why has he always been able to stick to his principles and not make mistakes?

On one hand, he has his own bottom line;

On the other hand, isn't it because he has a virtuous wife like me at home?

The food at home is tastier, healthier, and more hygienic than in restaurants outside, and it's also more nourishing.

But you must always find different ways to cook.

Always having the same flavor, that just won't do."

A smile touched the corners of Du Xi's mouth as she teased, "That makes a lot of sense."

Xiao Qin grabbed Du Xi's wrist and said earnestly, "Outside, you can be a majestic Police officer, but once you return home, you must transform into a gentle and soft wife. You are so clever and intelligent; I believe your life with Xiao Tang will surely be harmonious and beautiful."

Du Xi was deeply moved; she hugged Xiao Qin and whispered, "Thank you, Mom, for passing on your exclusive secret to me."

Xiao Qin turned around and rummaged through the cabinet, pulling out bags of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.

A flash of surprise crossed Du Xi's eyes, and she asked, "Is this for my dad to drink?"

"It's for you to drink. It's a folk remedy for fertility that I went to great lengths to get from someone." As Xiao Qin spoke, she carefully observed Du Xi's reaction, fearing she might resist.

However, Du Xi's eyes were firm, and she said without hesitation, "I will drink the medicine obediently."

Xiao Qin was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

For Tang Ye, this silly girl is truly willing to give everything.

After Tang Ye got up, he jogged a few laps around Yunhu Courtyard.

Sweating profusely from the run, he returned home to take a shower, then went downstairs feeling refreshed to eat the loving breakfast Du Xi had prepared.

Seeing Tang Ye's spirited appearance, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but recall his own youth, sighing to himself: This kid went to bed so late last night, yet he can still get up so early this morning; he is truly young and full of energy.

In reality, Tang Ye had bitter troubles he couldn't voice; he had already felt out of his depth while running, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

There was no other way!

People live for face, just as trees live for bark.

He was determined to present a positive and vibrant image in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After breakfast, Tang Ye went to the special care ward of the City People's Hospital to visit Jiang Jing.

He chatted with Jiang Jing in the ward for a while, then recounted the meeting with Liu Xiuzhi from last night in full detail.

As Tang Ye expected, after hearing this, a look of displeasure appeared on Jiang Jing's face.

"Xiao Tang, why did you meet with her in private? As a Secretary, you must be mindful of propriety in your actions." Jiang Jing's tone carried a hint of reproach.

He trusted Tang Ye, but he was also worried that Tang Ye might become arrogant due to his favor.

Tang Ye hurriedly explained, "Mayor, yesterday I met with her; firstly, she is Jiang Rou's mother, and emotionally I felt I should communicate with her. Regarding how to ease the relationship with Jiang Rou, besides you, she also needs a mother;

Secondly, she has an intention to invest in Hanzhou. She gave me a project proposal for a new hospital yesterday, and after reading it, I felt it could be connected to some of your previous ideas.

I know well that you have strong principles and do not wish to mix your private life with work, but if a Grade A Tertiary Hospital with provincial-level advantages can be successfully invested in Hanzhou, this would be a great benefit for the people of Hanzhou, a deed that benefits the present and lasts for generations.

Therefore, I privately handed this project proposal to my father-in-law."

Listening to Tang Ye's explanation, Jiang Jing's initially angry mood gradually softened.

Tang Ye considered problems very thoroughly.

In fact, when Liu Xiuzhi had previously mentioned to him that she wanted to focus her investments in Hanzhou, he had become vigilant, guessing that Liu Xiuzhi most likely wanted to make moves in Hanzhou.

Although Jiang Jing and Liu Xiuzhi were once husband and wife, he still very keenly chose to avoid it, not wanting to get involved.

But now that Tang Ye was pushing this matter through Du Chengfeng, he could easily stay out of it. Moreover, if this project achieved results, since Jiang Jing was the initiator of the project, he could still reap the benefits brought by the political achievements.

"Xiao Tang, my tone was a bit harsh just now, don't take it to heart. Regarding this project, you must strictly observe discipline; you must not relax your vigilance or lower your principles just because of the special relationship between Liu Xiuzhi and me."

Once Jiang Jing said this, it was basically equivalent to hinting to Tang Ye that although he would not come forward himself, Tang Ye could represent him and help Liu Xiuzhi coordinate relationships in secret.

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and said, "Please rest assured, Mayor, I will definitely follow this matter through to the end and ensure there are no mistakes."

Wen Rong came to deliver documents.

Tang Ye walked out of the room, took the documents, and read through them carefully, then whispered to Wen Rong, "Today you will assist Mayor Jiang in reviewing the documents."

Wen Rong was slightly stunned upon hearing this, instantly realizing that Tang Ye was intentionally giving her an opportunity.

She said with some trepidation, "Section Chief, I'm not ready yet."

Tang Ye's tone was irrefutable: "Comrade Wen Rong, to become a qualified Secretary, one must be able to handle various unexpected situations at any time. I will be by your side in a moment; report boldly, and if any problems arise, I will take the responsibility for you."

Wen Rong felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

In the past, Tang Ye had always been demanding and constantly picking at her, but now he was suddenly so caring; this change came too suddenly, catching her off guard.

She still bit the bullet and walked into the room.

Tang Ye followed behind and whispered to Jiang Jing, "Today, Comrade Wen Rong will assist you in reviewing the documents."

Jiang Jing looked at Tang Ye in surprise, realizing in his heart that he was intentionally cultivating his subordinate.

Jiang Jing had previously reminded Tang Ye in private many times that as a cadre, not only must one's own ability be strong, but cultivating assistants and improving management skills were equally critical.

Although Wen Rong's understanding of the spirit of the documents was not profound, she was extremely familiar with their contents.

Clearly, every document handed to Jiang Jing was the result of her careful screening and intensive reading.

Jiang Jing intentionally asked Wen Rong a few questions; although Wen Rong's answers were not as brilliant as Tang Ye's, they were standard and proper, without any mistakes.

This hour of work felt like torture to Wen Rong; every minute and every second felt like having needles pricking her back.

Only when she walked out of the room did she realize her back was already soaked with sweat, and she wished she could take a shower immediately.

Tang Ye followed her out and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"You performed well today, keep up the effort. In the future, pay more attention to the data; for instance, you were off on the timing of the fiscal appropriation for the International Trade Building this year."

Wen Rong took the mineral water, full of gratitude: "Thanks to you for making the timely correction back then; I was so panicked when I said the wrong time."

Tang Ye smiled and encouraged her: "Go back to the Government and get busy; it's hot out, so watch out for the sun on your way."

Wen Rong walked into the elevator, and only then did she notice that the mineral water Tang Ye gave her was at room temperature.

In an instant!

A thought flashed through her mind: Did he know that I shouldn't drink anything cold these past few days?
