Chapter 403: Tang Ye Used Too Much Force!

Tang Ye woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and discovered that the clothes on his body had been changed.

Fragmented memories flashed through his mind.

Wen Rong had first helped him into the room.

He had then vomited all over Wen Rong's chest.

Immediately after, Wen Rong had walked into the bathroom to scrub his shirt.

Then, she had helped tidy up the bedsheets and even taken off her own clothes.

It seemed that, during this process, she had taken advantage of him...

Wen Rong was usually shy in character and even harbored some hidden hostility toward him; she shouldn't have been so proactive, and it was even less likely she would overstep boundaries while he was drunk.

Those images must have been a dream...

He really had too much imagination!

Having figured this out, Tang Ye picked up his water glass and took a few sips.

The burning sensation in his stomach eased slightly, so he lay back down to sleep.

After another moment, the phone rang.

Tang Ye answered the phone with some impatience.

"Sir, would you like a massage?"

A soft, languid voice came from the phone.

"Not interested!"

Tang Ye had drunk too much; even moving felt uncomfortable.

He truly didn't know how those plots in TV dramas about losing control after drinking were thought up!

They had absolutely no life experience!

The voice was relentless and continued to entice him, "Sir, we have many services here that are guaranteed to make you feel comfortable."

Tang Ye thought for a moment, "Thank you, but my wife will be helping me with a massage in a little while."

A busy signal came from the other end. Tang Ye checked the time and found it was already one in the morning. It would certainly be inappropriate to return to Xiyue Garden now, so he got up and went into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Being human is truly difficult; sometimes one has to struggle not only against the flesh but also against desire.

While showering, he gave a start.

Wen Rong definitely kissed him!

That was absolutely not a dream!

Could it be that Wen Rong had always had feelings for him?

He hadn't expected that this woman, usually so reserved, actually hid a wildfire in her heart!

He suddenly felt as if he were no longer clean!

Tang Ye faced the mirror and scrubbed his right cheek fiercely!

Seven o'clock the next day.

He was woken up by a call from Shi Hao.

"Little Tang, you weren't hurt by the drinking yesterday, were you?"

"Secretary-General Shi, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Shi Hao laughed helplessly on the other end: "It's good that you're fine. You and President Qiao drank too fiercely yesterday; he was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night to get an IV drip."

Tang Ye was shocked upon hearing this: "Ah? I thought he was in good shape at the time; how did he end up in the hospital? This is a mess, it's all my fault for not gauging the amount."

"It has nothing to do with you," Shi Hao hurriedly waved his hand, "President Qiao cares about his reputation and was just toughing it out. Don't take it to heart."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had intended to use the drinking session to build a good relationship with Qiao Wansen, perhaps to secure a project for Suiyuan County.

Now that he was in charge of the economy and investment promotion, the county's investment work was complex and multifaceted, and everyone was watching his performance.

If he didn't produce results quickly, this position of Standing Committee Deputy County Magistrate would be a hot seat to sit on.

After finishing the call, Tang Ye checked the time; it was seven-thirty.

He knew Jiang Jing's daily routine; she should have just finished swimming at this time, so he dialed Jiang Jing's number, "Mayor Jiang, have you finished your swim?"

Jiang Jing chuckled, "Yes. You had quite a record last night; you drank our God of Wealth away."

Tang Ye said shamefully, "I'm sorry, I used too much force; I will definitely be careful to control it next time."

Jiang Jing waved her hand, "No, you did very well. Qiao Wansen was deeply impressed by you. I know his personality very well; if you can leave a deep impression on him, there might be a chance. By the way, are you up yet? Let's have breakfast together."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Alright, I'll come find you right now. I'll treat you to fish soup noodles!"

Jiang Jing readily agreed, "I'll wait for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, she muttered to herself that Little Tang was still the most understanding, and he was handy and reliable in doing things.

Half an hour later, Tang Ye picked up Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing noticed that there was no trace of alcohol on Tang Ye, and she secretly marveled that Tang Ye truly had an astonishing capacity for liquor.

At eight o'clock, Hanzhou had already awakened from its slumber, and breakfast shops large and small were opening for business.

Jiang Jing rolled down the car window and silently watched the city, a plan for the city's renovation rising in her heart.

First, develop the new city to improve the foundation of the people's lives.

Then, proceed with the renovation of the Urban Village.

They walked into a popular Suiyuan noodle shop, and the hall was filled with the pure fragrance of noodles.

The "slurp, slurp" sounds of eating noodles were constant; everyone was eating with great relish, and no one paid attention to table manners.

Jiang Jing rarely came to such places to eat; she felt it was novel and also felt relaxed.

When the steaming hot fish soup noodles were brought over, he ate them in big mouthfuls, and incidentally, also made "slurp, slurp" sounds while eating. After finishing, he suddenly felt every pore in his body was comfortable.

After finishing the noodles, Tang Ye escorted Jiang Jing to her residence.

On the way.

Jiang Jing said softly, "The project proposal for Hanxing Group has reached its final schedule. There is great controversy regarding where to choose for the investment and construction."

Although the words were not spoken very explicitly, for Tang Ye, it was good news.

Great controversy meant there was still an opportunity.

What one fears is a lack of controversy, where one cannot even find a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"Suiyuan is also competing for it."

"The political scene is ever-changing, but often, opportunities cannot be grasped just by competing for them. Man proposes, God disposes! We must learn to wait."

Jiang Jing said this calmly, feeling a bit sentimental.

He is a person who rarely reveals his emotions.

In front of Tang Ye, his mood was relaxed, which is why he acted this way.

Tang Ye sent Jiang Jing back to her residence, then arrived at Yunhu Courtyard.

Du Chengfeng called Tang Ye into the study and took out a document to hand to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye picked up the document and looked at Du Chengfeng in surprise.

"Tianling County's economic growth in the first half of the year ranks first in the entire city! This is the achievement you made."

"Don't be so narrow-minded; Tianling County is developing very well, and I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Mingcheng's smug face appeared in Tang Ye's mind.

He thought to himself, in the end, someone picked the low-hanging fruit; without Du Chengfeng's years of planning for Tianling County, how could there be today's achievements?

Du Chengfeng's palm pressed lightly on Tang Ye's shoulder, and he said in a deep voice, "I just received news that the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will soon send an inspection team to Suiyuan to research the provincial environmental protection industrial park project. You must make preparations in advance."

Tang Ye's eyes narrowed, and he nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, I will handle the reception plan and materials myself."

Du Chengfeng took a gold-stamped invitation out of his briefcase and handed it over: "Du Xi's eldest uncle is celebrating his birthday, and I happen to be accompanying Secretary Zhou to Yanjing to attend a meeting. Her eldest uncle specifically requested that you and your wife go. No matter how busy you are with work lately, you must make time; this will be good for you."

Tang Ye took the invitation and looked at it, then replied: "Alright, I will arrange the time with Du Xi. Do we need to prepare any birthday gifts?"

"No need," Du Chengfeng waved his hand to signal, "Everything is prepared; you two just need to show up."
