Chapter 305: Intimacy Increased by One Hundred!

~8 min read 1,492 words

On Saturday morning, Tang Ye and Du Xi arrived early at the photo studio.

This photo studio was carefully selected by Du Xi.

Initially, Tang Ye had wanted to take her to Yinzhou, where the wedding dress industry is mature, allowing them to both pick out a favorite wedding dress and incidentally shoot a set of romantic wedding photos.

But Du Xi felt that simply renting a wedding dress was more cost-effective.

Tang Ye knew well that a wedding is the most beautiful longing in every girl's heart, but he could not overcome Du Xi's insistence.

And Du Xi also knew that Tang Ye was busy with work and really could not spare much time to prepare for these things.

Inside the photo studio, Du Xi carefully selected several outfits for the shoot.

After she changed into them, she was radiant, instantly becoming the focus of the entire room; by comparison, Tang Ye became a supporting character.

After the indoor shoot ended, the group moved to the outdoor location.

The photo studio chose a park as the shooting location, and under the photographer's guidance, Tang Ye and Du Xi posed in various ways, drawing many tourists to stop and watch.

During the shoot, Tang Ye changed his usual steady image, with exaggerated and wild movements,

and various funny poses that made Du Xi laugh until she was doubled over.

As for Du Xi, she had a very slender figure, a head of thick, jet-black hair, and fair skin; with the makeup artist's careful work and the embellishment of the wedding dress and gowns, she looked graceful and charming.

However, Tang Ye would remind Du Xi from time to time to pay attention to her neckline.

Men are just this double-standard when it comes to women!

They want other people's wives to wear as little as possible, but their own wives to wear as much as possible!

The photographer felt that enough material had been collected and suggested with a face full of smiles: "The two of you are a perfect match with excellent image and temperament. I have an idea: in the future, can our studio use your photos as promotional models?"

Du Xi smiled slyly, her eyes curving as she said: "Being promotional models isn't impossible, but shouldn't we discuss the price?"

The photographer was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "No problem! Not only will the shooting fees be waived, but we will also provide the gowns needed for your wedding for free!"

Du Xi turned to look at Tang Ye, her eyes full of inquiry: "What do you think?"

Tang Ye shrugged: "I respect your opinion."

In the end, Du Xi still politely declined the photographer's proposal, leaving the photographer feeling very regretful.

On the way back, Tang Ye couldn't help but be curious: "Why did you refuse the studio?"

Du Xi smiled, explaining earnestly: "You are now Mayor Jiang's Secretary and often appear on television news, so you count as half a public figure. If people find out you went to be a model, it would inevitably affect your image."

Tang Ye shook his head self-deprecatingly: "I'm just a small Secretary, how could I count as a public figure?"

Du Xi was firm: "First, you are not a small Secretary, you are Mayor Jiang's capable assistant; second, I believe you will definitely rise step by step in the future, so we cannot only look at what's right in front of us."

Tang Ye was amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart was full of warmth: "Thank you for believing in me so much; I'll listen to you."

As soon as they returned home, Xiao Qin came up to greet them, her face full of concern: "How did the shoot go today?"

Du Xi proudly lifted her chin: "Very smooth! The people at the studio even wanted us to be promotional models!"

Xiao Qin nodded and said proudly: "The photographer has a good eye."

Du Xi smiled and took out the camera to hand to Xiao Qin: "We only took a few, the studio's samples won't be ready to select until a week later."

Xiao Qin looked through the photos and couldn't help but sigh: "They look really good. Back when your father and I got married, we just took a simple group photo."

Du Xi blinked mischievously and teased: "Mom, how about I book a wedding photo shoot for you and Dad? To make up for the regrets of that year."

Xiao Qin's cheeks flushed instantly, and she chided: "Don't talk nonsense! Your father and I are at this age; even if I were willing, it would be a miracle if your father cooperated!"

Half an hour later, Du Xiaofeng and her husband, along with Xie Miao, stepped into the Du Residence.

Tang Ye secretly sighed in his heart that his mother-in-law had a very gentle personality.

Du Xiaofeng's family visited almost every so often; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have had complaints long ago, but she had never shown the slightest bit.

Now that his status had changed, Tang Ye was no longer a guest. After everyone sat down, he deftly brewed three cups of hot tea.

Du Xiaofeng took the teacup, hesitated repeatedly, and still couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Tang, you said before you would help Xie Miao look for a job. She has been resting at home for a long time, is there any news now?"

Du Xi, who was on the side, frowned upon hearing this and hurriedly tried to help Tang Ye out: "Tang Ye is very busy with work..."

Tang Ye smiled and interrupted her: "I was just about to tell you about this. I helped her submit a resume; the base salary is around 100,000, plus commissions."

Xie Miao's originally dim eyes instantly lit up, and she asked eagerly: "What exactly is the job?"

Tang Ye explained patiently: "Project Manager at Haihua Group. If she does well, there is plenty of room for promotion."

Since successfully acquiring Mingsheng Group, Haihua Group's strength had greatly increased.

Zhu Junting had invited Tang Ye to dinner many times, but he had declined them all.

Zhu Junting naturally understood that Tang Ye was doing this to avoid suspicion, so she stopped insisting.

However, Tang Ye subsequently sent Xie Miao's resume to her.

After Zhu Junting understood Xie Miao's background, how could she have any reason to refuse?

The favor of Tang Ye submitting the resume, plus the fact that Xie Miao was Du Chengfeng's niece, made this, in her eyes, a rare and high-quality resource.

"Will being a Project Manager be too tiring?" Du Xiaofeng didn't quite understand the weight of Haihua Group.

Xie An glanced at her irritably: "Haihua Group is the top private enterprise in Hanzhou! For Xie Miao to be able to go and be a Project Manager, Xiao Tang doesn't know how much effort he spent, so stop being so picky!"

Xie Miao was incredibly excited: "Thank you so much!"

Tang Ye smiled and waved his hand: "Don't mention it. If you run into any problems in the future, just come to me."

Xie Miao's impression of Tang Ye underwent a earth-shaking change.

Once, she felt that Tang Ye approaching the Du Family was to cling to the power of her uncle, Du Chengfeng;

However, after experiencing this turn of events, she truly realized that Tang Ye was wholeheartedly helping her solve her problems.

What was even more surprising was that Tang Ye did not use her uncle's power, but relied on the connections and resources he had accumulated himself to secure this rare job opportunity for her.

Witnessing this scene, Du Xi felt waves of warmth rise in her heart.

Tang Ye's style of handling things was completely different from her father, Du Chengfeng; he was full of warmth in his dealings with people and could always care for and help the relatives around him in unique ways without reservation.

However, Tang Ye was not without principles; once something involved illegal or non-compliant matters, he would definitely hold his bottom line and never waver.

When Du Chengfeng returned home, Xiao Qin quietly told him about Tang Ye helping Xie Miao find a job.

"Little Tang found a job for Xie Miao. Project Manager at Haihua Group, with a guaranteed annual salary of one hundred thousand."

In 2006, an annual income of one hundred thousand was a super high salary.

Du Chengfeng was silent for a long time, thinking to himself that Tang Ye helping Xie Miao solve her problem was for the sake of Du Xi, and also to resolve his own worries.

Du Chengfeng sighed slowly and remarked with emotion, "It has troubled the child Tang Ye."

As for Tang Ye's true thoughts, Du Chengfeng did not know them.

After this matter, the intimacy between him and the "Big Account" (Du Chengfeng) could increase by at least "100"!
