Chapter 447: The God of Wealth Has a Favor to Ask!

~8 min read 1,519 words

The next morning, Tang Ye took a document and went to the Municipal Government, knocking on the door of the office of Wen Rong, Secretary of the Second Section.

Wen Rong called out for him to come in.

Seeing that the person who arrived was Tang Ye, a look of astonishment appeared on her face, which then immediately returned to calm.

"County Magistrate Tang, why are you here? You should have told me in advance; Mayor Jiang is currently meeting with a guest, and it will likely take another half hour."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "Although I am an old subordinate of Mayor Jiang, I cannot always cut the line; that would affect Mayor Jiang's work schedule."

Wen Rong stood up and poured a cup of tea for Tang Ye.

Tang Ye stared at Wen Rong's back.

Suddenly, the scene from that time in the hotel surfaced in his mind again; he could be certain that Wen Rong had had intimate interactions with him that time.

Wen Rong was actually feeling somewhat nervous and embarrassed inside.

Regarding her behavior at the hotel, she had been too bold.

Aside from her first love, Tang Ye was the second person of the opposite sex with whom she had had such intimate actions.

Wen Rong knew that she had feelings for Tang Ye; this kind of affection had accumulated day by day during their work.

However, Wen Rong also knew that there was never any possibility for her and Tang Ye, and she could only silently control this sentiment.

In fact, she knew that Tang Ye might know what happened that day.

However, even if Tang Ye knew, it did not matter.

Liking someone is just liking someone; it is not a shameful thing.

Tang Ye chatted with Wen Rong about the recent work situation.

Wen Rong took out a draft of a speech and asked Tang Ye to help her look at it.

"I have revised this speech several times, but Mayor Jiang always says it is not written well and tells me to revise it again. It is about to be used, and I am anxious to death."

Tang Ye took the speech, scanned it quickly, and said with a smile, "In principle, there is nothing wrong with this draft, and the data cited is very detailed, but it deviates from the current situation. Now the whole country is emphasizing innovation, yet you are still harping on the same old tune about cutting costs; the theme is not high enough."

After this bit of guidance from Tang Ye, Wen Rong's eyes lit up, "You really hit the nail on the head."

Tang Ye smiled, "What I said is not necessarily correct."

Wen Rong said with relief, "You understand Mayor Jiang very well; this time it will definitely pass."

At this moment, the guest retreated from the office.

Wen Rong hurried over and reported softly to Jiang Jing, "County Magistrate Tang is here!"

Jiang Jing walked to the office and beckoned to Tang Ye, "Come in!"

After Tang Ye walked into the office, Jiang Jing said with a smile, "What? Are you here to reach out for money again?"

Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself, "Please rest assured, I am not here for money this time; there is a document I would like you to look at."

Jiang Jing nodded at Tang Ye and reached out, "Bring it here!"

Tang Ye handed a document to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing flipped through a few pages casually, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter, "This idea of yours is very interesting. Using the government as the main body to register a company is equivalent to building an investment and financing platform to integrate the resources of the Industrial Park and help enterprises within the park to finance and go public. This is indeed a very good approach."

Tang Ye mused that Jiang Jing's level was high, and because she came from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, she was not unfamiliar with this model. If it were a leader who had never come into contact with it, it probably would not have been so easy to communicate.

Tang Ye explained, "Although the 'shell' of the Suiyuan Industrial Park has changed, the tone of administrative service has not. We have just created a good momentum; if we still follow the old ways, it is easy to narrow our path."

"Are you trying to use this company to reshuffle the personnel structure of Suiyuan?" Jiang Jing smiled, hitting the nail on the head, "The idea is very clever. I will communicate with Secretary Zhou later; whether it works or not depends on his intention."

Tang Ye said gratefully, "Thank you, Mayor Jiang."

Jiang Jing waved her hand, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me; wait until the matter is implemented, then it won't be too late to thank me. By the way, did you meet with Qiao Wansen this weekend?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "He intends to build a renewable resource utilization factory in Suiyuan. However, many enterprises now want to settle in Suiyuan, and there are several companies with similar types to theirs. For the sake of fairness, we must audit the qualifications of the enterprises."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly, "Qiao Wansen is a person with sentiment, his personal charm is very strong, and his style of doing things is open and upright. However, he is a businessman after all; dealing with him still requires talking business as business."

Back then, when Jiang Jing wanted to persuade Qiao Wansen to invest in Hanzhou, Qiao Wansen's performance was very ambiguous; now that Qiao Wansen wanted to acquire land in Suiyuan to build a factory, the power of decision lay with the Government.

The reversal of the negotiating position made Jiang Jing feel comfortable.

In the final analysis, this was also a change brought about by the reform and upgrading of the Industrial Park.

Leaving Jiang Jing's office, Tang Ye received a call from Gao Ping.

"Brother Gao, do you have any instructions?"

"Can't I call you if there is nothing?"

"Of course you can, but the God of Wealth's time is precious, and I am afraid of taking up too much of it."

"I just came out of Mayor Jiang's office and knew you had come to the Municipal Government. Shall we find a place to meet and have lunch together?"

"Sure, I will go to the Jiuxian Tower next to the Municipal Government to book a private room now."

"You don't need to book it; I will have my niece call."

"Fine!"

Hearing Gao Ping mention his niece, Tang Ye understood that this meal today would most likely have something to do with the niece.

Nowadays, Tang Ye served as a Standing Committee Member of the County Party Committee in Suiyuan, in charge of the Industrial Park, and had the power to make final decisions on many projects, so there were many people who moved upon hearing the news.

Tang Ye had always been careful about his sense of proportion in this regard; he had to build a wall of bronze and iron, but he could not block everyone out.

Tang Ye drank a cup of coffee in a cafe next to the Municipal Government.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Tang Ye walked into the Jiuxian Tower, gave his name, and the waiter led him to the private room with a smiling face.

Gao Ping was already waiting inside. Not long after Tang Ye sat down, the boss came over to greet him, personally pouring tea and handing him a cigarette, hurriedly showing his devotion.

Gao Ping and Tang Ye chatted for a while about the events of this morning.

That merchant was a Malaysian who wanted to build a large shopping mall in Hanzhou, but there was a dispute over the land policy.

Gao Ping did not discuss the details with Tang Ye and began to get to the point.

"I asked you to have a meal today, besides catching up, there is another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Tang Ye had long guessed that Gao Ping should have something, otherwise he would not have invited him to dinner alone, and he smiled slightly, "Brother Gao, you are too polite. If there is anything, just give your instructions."

Gao Ping sighed with emotion, "You know my character well; I have always held myself to strict standards and never gotten involved with business. However, society is just a giant spiderweb that wraps everyone inside it; some people run rampant along the web, while others are trapped and die within it."

My eldest sister's daughter used to work at the Garden Bureau, but later, in a moment of impulse, she quit her job and opened a landscaping company. Now she needs to open up a market and has come to me for help.

My mother passed away quite early, so my eldest sister was like half a mother to me. Although she is my niece, she is actually just like my own younger sister..."
