Chapter 482: Marching into the Skincare Field!

Tang Ye smiled as he stood up and handed Huang Ling a glass of water.

"Are you adjusting to the work?"

"I quite like the work atmosphere here; everyone treats me very well," Huang Ling said softly to Tang Ye. "Actually, I am a loyal customer of Qinge, so I felt very pleasantly surprised when I first came here."

Tang Ye nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That's good. By the way, the time for your father's surgery has been set, and the kidney source has been arranged. The surgery is expected to take place in two weeks. President Gu has already paid the surgery fees for you in advance."

Huang Ling stood up with reddened eyes, bowed to Gu Wenqin and Tang Ye respectively, and choked out, "Thank you both, Sister Wenqin, County Magistrate Tang."

Tang Ye waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "For your father's sake, you must work hard. Qinge is still in a period of rapid growth and has great development prospects in the future. Although the surgery fee sounds like a lot, if you take a long-term view, in five to ten years, you will realize that money really doesn't amount to much."

Huang Ling nodded with tears in her eyes: "County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured, I will work hard."

Tang Ye gave Gu Wenqin a look.

A smile rippled across the corners of Gu Wenqin's mouth: "Besides caring about your work, County Magistrate Tang is also concerned about your love life. Are you still in contact with your ex-boyfriend?"

Huang Ling sighed dejectedly: "He has called me a few times and sent messages, but I didn't reply. I have already thought it through; relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. I just want to work hard to earn money now and pay off my father's medical bills as soon as possible."

Gu Wenqin advised: "You are very outstanding and can meet someone more suitable. I have a friend who was very impressed by you. I will give him your contact information, and you can get to know him."

Huang Ling looked at Gu Wenqin in surprise, a flush instantly spreading across her face, and she lowered her head and said softly, "President Gu, I don't plan on dating for the time being."

Gu Wenqin said with a smile, "Work and romance do not conflict. You and he can try to get to know each other first; even if you don't become lovers, having one more friend is not a bad thing."

Huang Ling said "Mm": "I will listen to you!"

Gu Wenqin smiled and said, "There is nothing else; you go out and get busy!"

Huang Ling left the office with mixed feelings.

Gu Wenqin had actually wanted to help her introduce a boyfriend right in front of Tang Ye.

Her acquaintance with Tang Ye had been a performance from beginning to end.

Although the play had already ended, she seemed to have not yet walked out of it.

As for Tang Ye, he appeared very professional.

In and out of the play, he moved with ease and handled everything with skill.

Gu Wenqin smiled at Tang Ye: "Alright, the matter you entrusted to me, I have handled for you."

Tang Ye looked at Gu Wenqin: "I thank you on behalf of Er Zi. Wan Ming's apprentice is a Police officer with a strong sense of responsibility. If the two of them succeed, they will definitely thank you."

A warmth appeared at the corners of Gu Wenqin's mouth.

Although Tang Ye's official position kept getting higher, deep down he was still that warm-hearted person with a sense of humanity.

In front of Gu Wenqin, Tang Ye dialed Wan Ming's number: "I will send you Huang Ling's contact information in a moment; you forward it to Er Zi. It's already been agreed upon with Huang Ling; tell Er Zi to be proactive."

Wan Ming was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and laughed in spite of himself: "You still remember this matter."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Er Zi is quite good; of course I have to keep his affairs in mind. However, matters of the heart cannot be forced; how things develop later will depend on Er Zi's own efforts."

Wan Ming said confidently: "Don't worry, this kid Er Zi is particularly motivated. Although he hasn't dated much, he has a kind of resilience in him—he won't stop until he achieves his goal."

After Tang Ye hung up the phone, Gu Wenqin asked with a half-smile: "You are so enthusiastically helping Huang Ling introduce a partner; have you considered her feelings?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment: "Er Zi is a Police officer, has a proper job, is one meter seventy-eight tall, and is motivated. I am introducing such a high-quality man to her; shouldn't she be quite happy?"

Gu Wenqin sighed: "I didn't see that at all. She was embarrassed to death just now!"

Tang Ye explained with a smile: "She has thin skin and was shy."

Gu Wenqin was torn between laughter and tears: "Actually, Huang Ling likes you. You introducing a partner to her—she must feel disappointed in her heart."

Tang Ye was thoughtful and sighed: "I also sensed that she had a good impression of me. Back then, she was ordered to lurk next door to me and wanted to get close to me; she must have invested feelings during that process. However, in this life, you will constantly meet people you like, but liking someone doesn't mean you must be together!"

Gu Wenqin was slightly startled and wondered to herself: Could these words also be meant for her?

She quickly masked her emotions and said with a smile, "You are right. The best way to walk out of an old relationship is to replace it with a new one."

Tang Ye sensed that Gu Wenqin's mood was off, so he changed the subject and chatted with her about his idea of entering the skincare product field.

"Starting from a few years ago, the skincare market has gradually shown an upward trend. Qinge now has good brand recognition, so we can consider trying to enter this industry."

Gu Wenqin said worriedly: "I don't know anything about skincare products."

Tang Ye was full of confidence: "Everything starts from not knowing. Skincare products are not as mysterious as imagined. Many brands talk in a profound way, but actually, it's just mixing a bunch of chemical materials together. It's mainly about purchasing equipment; in terms of the technical content of production processes, it's even lower than making a hit piece of lingerie."

Gu Wenqin looked at Tang Ye in surprise: "Is it really that simple?"

Tang Ye said with a smile, "The beginning of everything is difficult. The key is to find a suitable R&D team, and after developing the product, use a story to package it."

Gu Wenqin had always trusted Tang Ye's business planning implicitly.

"We will do as you say."

After seeing Tang Ye off and waiting for the car to disappear from sight, Gu Wenqin sighed secretly.

Tang Ye held the steering wheel steady with one hand and turned up the volume of the car's music.

He thought to himself: I didn't expect that after so long, Gu Wenqin still couldn't let go of her feelings for him.

His heart was very conflicted.

He both hoped that Gu Wenqin could find a suitable partner and live a better life;

Yet, the moment he thought of her being with someone else, he felt unable to accept it.

It was as if something important had been snatched away by someone else.

In the end, people are all selfish, and Tang Ye was no exception.

Sometimes he would think, if only he lived in ancient times, he could have three wives and four concubines.

However.

Upon second thought, he still had to be rational.

He had grand goals and ambitions, and a wife who was running toward him in a two-way commitment.

He must never have any problems with his personal conduct.

Inside the coffee shop.

Chen Lan pushed the door open and entered.

From afar, she saw a thin man sitting in the corner.

The man was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, making it impossible to see his facial expression.

She sat down opposite the man and asked softly, "How is the progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

The man took out an envelope and pushed it to Chen Lan's side: "These are the photos I've taken recently. Various signs indicate that your husband and this woman are still in contact and meet basically every week."

Chen Lan clutched the photos, her fingertips trembling with anger. Ever since Shen Mingcheng began domestic abuse, the reason she had temporarily endured it was precisely because Shen Mingcheng had promised her he would cut off all ties with Gu Lanping.

She had not expected that the two of them were still entangled.

"However, you don't need to worry too much," the man added upon seeing this.

"What do you mean?"

The man lowered his voice: "According to the information we have, this woman is involved in financial issues, and the Government working group is currently investigating her. Your husband will definitely take the initiative to draw a line between himself and her."
