Chapter 280: Making Tang Ye Feel Regret!

Working in the Government Office.

Tang Ye let go and allowed Wen Rong to assist Jiang Jing in reviewing documents.

Jiang Jing tacitly approved of Tang Ye's arrangement; for this period, Tang Ye did not need to stay by Jiang Jing's side.

Over an hour later, Wen Rong walked out of the office and said softly to Tang Ye, "Mayor Jiang wants you to go in and discuss matters."

Tang Ye walked into the office.

Jiang Jing handed a document to Tang Ye, "Your father-in-law sent me this document yesterday. The Municipal Party School is opening a Section Chief class; you can participate in it."

Tang Ye nodded and smiled, "Fine, I will fill out the form in a moment."

Jiang Jing then asked, "Regarding the new hospital project, how is the progress?"

Tang Ye hurriedly reported the situation he had grasped in full detail, "Yesterday, Secretary Zhou specifically went to the provincial level to report this project to the Provincial Governor; there should be news soon."

Jiang Jing nodded and did not speak.

Although it was inconvenient for Jiang Jing to participate in this project, he still cared about the project's progress in his heart.

Zhou Chengwu's connections and resources were not to be underestimated.

If even he could not get this matter done, it was unlikely that stepping in personally would be of any help.

Tang Ye walked out of the office, filled out the attached registration form, and then called for Wen Rong.

"Arrange for someone to send this document to the Personnel Section. I will be attending the Municipal Party School for studies in a while; you will have to work hard then."

Suddenly, Wen Rong began to let her imagination run wild again!

Tang Ye had been grooming her recently; could it be in preparation for his own attendance at the Party School? A complex emotion welled up deep in her heart.

When it came down to it, she was still just a tool, being used as a backup.

Wen Rong felt bitter inside, but she still agreed readily, "Section Chief Tang, please rest assured and go to the Party School to study. If I encounter any difficulties, I will report them to you in a timely manner."

Not long after Wen Rong left, Tang Ye's mobile phone rang abruptly.

The voice of Professor Cao Zhengqing from the Agricultural University carried irrepressible excitement:

"Little Tang! Our first batch of hairy crabs was actually snatched up! I didn't expect them to sell so well! Giving our Pinghu hairy crabs as gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a trend this year. It seems your initial marketing strategy was correct; those hairy crabs given away for free demonstrated their value and were not wasted."

"Professor Cao is too kind; the key is the high quality of the new variety." Tang Ye unconsciously rubbed his fountain pen with his fingertips, "Friends who have eaten them all say the meat is firm and the crab roe is full; that is the fundamental reason."

Cao Zhengqing then stated his purpose, "We are planning a celebration this Friday; can you, our great contributor, attend?"

"I really cannot get away recently... but as long as I can clear my schedule, I will definitely arrive on time." As Tang Ye spoke, his gaze caught Chen Ping pushing the door open and entering.

"I know you are a very busy person. Then I will wait for your news." Cao Zhengqing hung up the phone with a laugh.

Tang Ye saw Chen Ping holding a foam box and placing it gently in the corner.

Tang Ye raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Old Chen, what is this?"

"Pinghu hairy crabs sent by a friend; they said the meat is especially delicious, so I thought I'd bring some for you too." Chen Ping patted the box, then suddenly realized, "Look at my memory! You were once posted in Pinghu; do you think hairy crabs are nothing special?"

If Chen Ping knew that these hairy crabs were something he had tinkered with himself.

He would probably be incredibly embarrassed.

Since Chen Ping came to give a gift, Tang Ye had to give him enough face.

Seeing that Chen Ping was about to leave, Tang Ye reached out and pulled him back.

"This is good stuff, so I won't stand on ceremony. However, you must accept these two cans of Minbei Oolong—my mother specifically had someone bring them over."

Chen Ping took the tea leaves and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard you and Xiao Hui were high school classmates?"

"Thanks to your help in coordinating the job transfer, I haven't specifically thanked you for that yet." Tang Ye caught the playful smile on the other's lips and hurriedly added, "It's just a pure classmate relationship; her wedding date is approaching, and she is busy preparing for the wedding."

"She is indeed outstanding; her colleagues at the Education Bureau all praise her for being clever."

Xiao Hui was indeed better at knowing how to survive in the workplace than Shao Jinbo.

Tang Ye smiled and said, "It was mainly out of respect for Secretary Chen. When I find the time, I must treat you to a meal."

Chen Ping laughed heartily, "I know you've been busy lately; let's wait until you're done with this period."

Less than ten minutes after seeing Chen Ping off.

Xiao Hui's call rang out.

Tang Ye looked at the phone screen and let out a helpless, soft laugh.

The timing seemed as if it had been calculated.

"I have already given the invitation to Du Xi!" Xiao Hui's tone allowed no room for refusal, "You must attend my wedding; it won't do without your blessings!"

"I really cannot get away recently..."

"No!" she interrupted, her tone suddenly softening, "I know you have opinions about Shao Jinbo, but for the sake of being old classmates, can you just give me some face?"

Tang Ye thought to himself that he not only had opinions about Shao Jinbo, but he also had no good feelings toward her.

But, in speaking and acting, one must be tactful and measured.

"Xiao Hui, if I can make it, I will definitely come to show my support. But you also know that the nature of my work is special."

"Fine, fine, fine, you are a busy person, but try your best to make time!"

Xiao Hui realized that Tang Ye was not so easy to invite.

The reason Xiao Hui invited Tang Ye to attend.

Was because she had her own plans!

First, to dissolve the previous rift;

Second, Tang Ye was currently the most successful among the classmates around her.

Maintaining a good relationship with Tang Ye could arrange a secret door for herself.

After Xiao Hui hung up the phone, she dialed Shao Jinbo's number.

Ever since being sent down to the County Court, Shao Jinbo seemed like a different person.

Returning home late at night had become the norm, and his seat in the office was always empty.

"The invitations have all been sent out." Xiao Hui's voice was as cold as if it had been quenched in ice. "On the day of the wedding, I hope you won't be absent."

Listening to Xiao Hui's words, full of sarcasm.

Shao Jinbo was so angry he could barely function.

"Xiao Hui, who are you being so snide for? It's just sending out a few invitations, is it necessary to be so cutting?"

"Shao Jinbo, if you're a man, then straighten your back! Who are you hanging your head for all day long? Haven't you always treated Tang Ye as your mortal enemy? I'm telling you, he will come to attend the wedding."

"Are you crazy? Why invite him!" Shao Jinbo's roar made the receiver buzz.

"Why can't I invite him?" A mocking smile curled the corners of Xiao Hui's mouth. "If you really have the ability, then prove yourself to his face. Cowering in a corner and wallowing in self-pity, you're not even as good as a woman."

"You only know how to rub salt in my wounds!"

"Enough nonsense." Xiao Hui lowered her voice, her tone suddenly becoming calm. "Find time to go visit your uncle recently. It's been so long since the incident, his anger should have faded. The rumors about Young Master Huang have also passed; as long as you're willing to bow your head, there may still be a turning point."

The phone call fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Shao Jinbo's hoarse voice came through:

"You're right... I can't go on living in a daze like this anymore."

At this moment, only by using Tang Ye could she sting Shao Jinbo's numb nerves.

Shao Jinbo suddenly felt that deep down, Xiao Hui still loved him.

Of course, Shao Jinbo did not know Xiao Hui's true intentions.

She knew she was tied together with Shao Jinbo.

If Shao Jinbo's relationship with his uncle eased, it would certainly be helpful for her own career.

She hated that her luck was poor.

Unlike Du Xi, who had met the talented Tang Ye.

But, she did not intend to resign herself to fate just like that.

She would climb upward with all her might.

One day, she would make Tang Ye feel regret!

That he had misjudged her back then.
