Chapter 481: My Mother Had Foresight!

Chen Zhihua tried to persuade Tang Ye to stay for lunch, but Tang Ye politely declined.

Tang Ye found a small restaurant in town, ordered a stir-fried dish and a soup, and wolfed down two bowls of white rice.

He felt this state of being was far more comfortable than eating a work meal or a business banquet.

In the afternoon, Tang Ye drove to Qinge Clothing Factory.

Nowadays, Qinge has two production areas: one is the original production line, and the other is the Boman production line.

It is said that Gu Wenqin is planning to build new factory buildings in the development zone planned for Tianling; following this trend, Qinge's output value might triple or quadruple within five years.

However, according to Tang Ye's research on E-commerce trends.

In the next three to five years, Qinge's existing production capacity will likely be unable to keep up with the massive market demand brought about by the demographic dividend.

Therefore, Qinge must not only focus on building new factories itself but also identify contract manufacturers to ensure sufficient production capacity.

Tang Ye parked his car on the side of the road, parked his car.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure standing by a truck, working hard to move cargo.

It had been a long time since he last saw Hu Yang; he did not expect this "mama's boy" to have changed so much.

His hair was cut neatly, his skin was tanned dark, and at first glance, he was no different from an ordinary worker. Tang Ye had previously learned from Lin Ziyang that Hu Yang was a completely different person now, and the young master's habits of the past were long gone.

It seems that for a man to grow, he truly needs to experience some major setbacks.

Tang Ye got out of the car and called out "Hu Yang" from afar.

Hu Yang looked over at the sound, and seeing it was Tang Ye, a smile immediately bloomed on his face as he ran straight over.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out, but because his hands were stained with dirt, he hurriedly pulled them back to wipe them on his clothes before reaching out again.

Tang Ye looked at the honest smile on Hu Yang's face, hooked his arm around his shoulder, and smilingly stuffed an envelope into his pocket: "Returning this to its rightful owner!"

Hu Yang opened the envelope in surprise and poured out a key: "Uncle, this is...?"

"This is the house your mother left you," Tang Ye explained softly. "Some time ago, Feng Lin committed a crime and was arrested. He had been forcibly occupying this house and never sold it. According to his confession, the house was swindled from you, so by the rules, it should be returned to you."

Hu Yang could no longer hold back; he hugged Tang Ye and burst into tears: "Uncle, thank you so much! I know Feng Lin has been dealt with; thank you for helping me vent this anger!"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment before he realized!

In Hu Yang's eyes, he must have dealt with Feng Lin to back him up, which was why he was so moved.

This kid must be overthinking it!

How could he go to such great lengths for a "mama's boy"?

"Feng Lin did all sorts of evil; he brought it upon himself," Tang Ye smiled.

Hu Yang wiped away his tears, realized he had lost his composure, and said to Tang Ye with a smile: "Uncle, I heard Feng Lin was arrested and his father was forced to resign; I was so happy I couldn't sleep for several days. My mother told me back then to follow you and listen to you in the future—she really had foresight! From now on, I'm following you; whatever you tell me to do, I'll do."

Tang Ye laughed out loud, patted his back, and said in a relaxed tone: "I hope that from now on, you will be yourself, have your own plans, and be clear about your own goals."

Hu Yang nodded quickly: "I'll listen to you!"

Tang Ye was stunned again!

Was his talk just now all for nothing?

"How is your work lately? Is it going smoothly?"

"The work is quite tiring, but very fulfilling. I start at six every morning and get off at eight in the evening, and occasionally I have to work overtime. There are relatively few men in the unit, so I sometimes help with unloading," Hu Yang said, his eyes shining with a sense of pride.

Tang Ye nodded: "I asked you to follow Lin Ziyang to get in touch with E-commerce; how is your learning going?"

Hu Yang said confidently: "I started shopping online years ago; it's not hard to get started."

"In a while, Lin Ziyang will have a project to hand over to you. You must seize it; this is a test for you, and also an opportunity."

Hu Yang's eyes sharpened: "I will definitely do my best to complete the task you entrusted to me! Uncle, I still have work to do over there, so I won't chat anymore."

"Mm. Go on and get busy!"

Previously, Tang Ye had always been worried about Hu Yang.

But seeing his transformation this time, his confidence was rekindled.

In fact, everyone has a grass seed in their heart; when a giant rock presses down, it can often burst forth with astonishing energy.

For Hu Yang, the previous crisis was a good whetstone, and it was precisely the turning point for his growth.

Gu Wenqin received Tang Ye's call and hurried to the entrance of the clothing factory.

Seeing Tang Ye, she felt both strange and familiar.

Ever since Tang Ye left Pinghu, they had almost never met, communicating only through phone calls or emails.

But, every deep night, Tang Ye's image would roll through her mind.

"Why didn't you give me a heads-up before coming?"

"Isn't this to give you a surprise?"

"Liar, were you handling other business and just stopped by to see me?"

"President Gu, you are too smart. There were some issues with the demolition work for the Pinghu Resort Project, so I came over to understand the situation."

Tang Ye and Gu Wenqin walked into the office side by side.

Gu Wenqin's office had changed quite a bit from before.

However, that workbench remained unchanged, with lingerie design sketches, scissors, needles, thread, and other sewing tools laid out on it.

Tang Ye couldn't help but recall that time spent fighting side by side with Gu Wenqin.

Everything Qinge has achieved now seems like a natural result, but both of them put in energy that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

"Regarding this month's report, there have been a few competitors appearing on Taobao recently. But, our quality has the advantage, so their reputation is very poor. If nothing goes wrong, they will be eliminated in a while."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "Taking the quality route is correct. Lingerie is worn close to the body, so girls will pay special attention to the material and comfort."

Gu Wenqin said with a smile, "Don't worry, Qinge will not forget the original intention of its creator."

Tang Ye waved his hand and corrected her, "The creator is you; don't let it slip."

Gu Wenqin laughed in spite of herself, "Got it! Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!"

Tang Ye thought to himself, if the outside world knew that the creator of the current number one domestic women's lingerie brand was a man, and a Deputy Division Level Official at that, it would probably shock everyone.

Gu Wenqin was quite busy with work; people would enter her office from time to time to report on work, or the phone would ring.

Those who entered would subconsciously glance at Tang Ye.

Qinge had recently expanded and hired many new employees.

The veterans knew Tang Ye and also knew his relationship with Qinge.

But the newcomers did not know Tang Ye, and seeing Gu Wenqin being especially warm toward him, they inevitably gossiped about their relationship.

"Boss, there's a male comrade in the office, he's very tall and extremely handsome."

"It's been a long time since I've seen President Gu smile so happily."

"Stop talking nonsense. That man is named Tang Ye, he used to be the Deputy Town Mayor of Pinghu, and Qinge was reborn precisely because of his transformation!"

"Is that so? Tell me the details!"

"It all started on a dark and windy night; a group of thieves came to Qinge, and he was patrolling the factory with our Factory Director when they discovered the thieves in the warehouse..."

Huang Ling saw a few people chatting and gossiping, so she listened for a while.

She hadn't expected that Tang Ye and Gu Wenqin had such an exciting, passionate, and inspirational story of struggle.

The office door opened.

Gu Wenqin walked out.

The group of people chatting quickly dispersed.

Gu Wenqin's gaze landed on Huang Ling, and she smiled and beckoned to her, "Huang Ling, come in for a moment!"

Huang Ling walked into the office feeling uneasy.

It had been a long time since she had seen Tang Ye.

Seeing Tang Ye still made her feel guilty, flustered, and agitated...
