Chapter 489: Eight Hundred Schemes Hidden!

Tang Ye returned home and looked in the mirror immediately.

Layer upon layer, inside and out.

His head looked like a big white rice dumpling!

Sure enough, the Nurse was very savvy about the routine, knowing how to dress it so he would look severely injured.

Tang Ye lay on the sofa, and just as he closed his eyes, the doorbell rang.

He walked over and opened the door.

Cheng Lin stood at the doorway, dressed very elegantly and without any makeup, like a jasmine flower emitting a delicate fragrance.

Her gaze landed on Tang Ye's forehead, and a look of worry immediately appeared in her eyes.

Tang Ye hurriedly explained with humor, "It's just a superficial wound; the Nurse was a bit dramatic when treating it. Do I look like a mummy right now?"

Cheng Lin couldn't laugh; she sighed and said with heartache, "Stop lying to me. I heard from others that you were one against three, the other side had knives, and your car was wrecked."

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh or cry: "That's way too exaggerated. If I were really that badly hurt, I'd definitely be in the hospital!"

Seeing that Tang Ye's reactions were sharp and his mental state was good, Cheng Lin gradually breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of background do these people have?"

Tang Ye shook his head and gave a wry smile: "If nothing goes wrong, the employer is the same one who wanted to kill me during the door-blocking incident last time."

Cheng Lin exclaimed: "It's related to Xu Zongchao again?"

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "Although Xu Zongchao has fled abroad, he still has many assets in the country, not to mention his complex network of connections. I caused him heavy losses, so it's normal for him to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on me."

A look of indignation rose in Cheng Lin's eyes: "This Xu Zongchao is truly like a lingering ghost."

Tang Ye's tone was relaxed: "Although we can't catch him, we can clear out the enterprises related to him one by one."

The look in Cheng Lin's eyes as she watched Tang Ye became complex.

If it were anyone else, they would likely have been timid and hesitant long ago, yet Tang Ye remained so firm.

This was precisely the personal charm that made him different from others.

After chatting for a few sentences, Cheng Lin was curious why he was driving around the county town.

Tang Ye then told her about the task Han Guangyao had entrusted to him: "I went to conduct a field investigation on the Old City renovation, but later I found the difficulty was too great. Rather than tearing it down and rebuilding, it would be better to build a new city elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lin's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea! The cost of demolishing the Old City is too high; building a new city can reduce costs and also has greater plasticity."

Tang Ye then suggested: "I think the West City District is good. Although it is dilapidated now, it is adjacent to the Industrial Park. As long as the traffic and urban environment are improved, it will become a place with great investment value."

Cheng Lin trusted Tang Ye's judgment.

"You can post a wide call for heroes and invite all the enterprises that have connections and strength. This is an era that values vision; only with forward-looking vision can there be development."

Tang Ye mused to himself that if Cheng Lin were willing to use her connections and resources to help attract investment, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Although he didn't know Cheng Lin's true strength, he could tell from the fact that she could easily connect with Director Gao of the Development and Reform Commission that her network of connections was extremely powerful.

However, Tang Ye still had his own calculations and plans.

After all, deep down, he never had the thought of relying on others.

Just as he was thinking, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated.

Tang Ye glanced at the incoming number and suddenly teased Cheng Lin with a smile: "What a coincidence, your ex-husband is calling, saying he is at your door, ringing the bell, and no one is answering."

Cheng Lin frowned slightly: "Even if I were home, I wouldn't open the door for him."

"If nothing goes wrong, he should be coming to my place in a moment." Tang Ye raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Lin sighed helplessly, stood up, and said: "Then I'd better avoid him first."

Cheng Lin left.

Tang Ye felt that the communication with Cheng Lin just now had opened up a new world.

After pondering for a while, he dialed Zhu Junting's number.

Zhu Junting's slightly surprised voice came through the receiver: "County Magistrate Tang, do you have any instructions?"

"I wouldn't call them instructions," Tang Ye said in a relaxed tone, "There is a big project that makes money; I wonder if President Zhu is interested?"

Zhu Junting paused and said half-jokingly: "County Magistrate Tang, this won't be another trap, will it?"

Previously, when hunting down Mingsheng Group, Zhu Junting had been lured into the game by Tang Ye's "perfect acting."

Although it ultimately caused Xu Zongchao to suffer a big loss during the bidding, Zhu Junting subconsciously felt a bit of vigilance when doing business with Tang Ye.

"Sister-in-law, that's being a bit distant," Tang Ye feigned grievance, "When have I ever let you suffer a loss? Which collaboration hasn't left you earning a fortune?"

Zhu Junting was amused, "Who told you to have eight hundred schemes hidden in your heart. However, every collaboration has indeed yielded good returns. You might as well speak plainly; I will consider it seriously."

Tang Ye laid out the news that the Suiyuan plan would focus on developing the West City District.

After some lobbying, Zhu Junting listened until her blood was boiling.

"County Magistrate Tang, I still need to conduct a field investigation for this matter. When are you free? I want to see the situation in the West City myself."

Tang Ye was secretly happy, "I am free anytime; it mainly depends on when it is convenient for you, President Zhu."

Zhu Junting thought for a moment: "I have an event tomorrow that I can't get away from; I will go to Suiyuan for an investigation the day after tomorrow."

"Good, then see you the day after tomorrow!"

He hung up the phone.

The doorbell rang.

Tang Ye knew it was Qin Zhiyuan and walked over to open the door with some reluctance.

Qin Zhiyuan stood at the doorway holding a bouquet of flowers, his expression dejected.

Seeing Tang Ye's head wrapped in gauze, Qin Zhiyuan said in surprise: "What happened to you?"

"I wasn't paying attention while driving and drove into the riverbed. It's nothing, just a superficial wound," Tang Ye said dismissively.

Qin Zhiyuan shook his head: "You are so cautious by nature; I don't believe you would make such a mistake. Did something happen? If there is anything, just tell me; I will definitely help you."

Listening to Qin Zhiyuan's sincere tone, a trace of surprise flashed through Tang Ye's heart, and he even felt a bit ashamed.

But then he thought again that there was no need to be completely open with Qin Zhiyuan.

"Thanks for your kindness, Brother Qin, I definitely won't stand on ceremony with you if I really need something." Looking at the flowers held in Qin Zhiyuan's hands, Tang Ye changed the subject, "Brother Qin, you bought flowers again? You really are a good man who understands romance."

Qin Zhiyuan gave a bitter smile: "Sigh, what's the use of romance? I really can't hold on anymore. It's already been several months, and she still treats me with indifference."

Tang Ye's expression turned serious: "Brother, I won't hide it from you, I've been moved by your sincerity. But as the saying goes, 'there are fragrant grasses everywhere under the sky,' with your character and conditions, what kind of woman can't you find? In my opinion, Cheng Lin simply isn't worthy of you."

These words caused a complex light to flash in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Yeah, I also feel disheartened, feeling like I've put in the effort but haven't received a bit of feedback."

"Brother, I think you still need to wait a bit longer! After all, you hurt her too deeply in the past." Tang Ye sighed, "Of course, if you choose to give up, I will also support you. People are creatures of habit; you've been so good to her during this time, she will slowly feel it's a part of her life. Once you stop paying attention to her, she will definitely feel uncomfortable, and might even feel regret!"

Qin Zhiyuan gently pressed Tang Ye's arm, "You really are a good brother, always thinking of me. I've decided, I'll persist for a while longer."

Looking at Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, which were bright yet revealed a sense of stupidity, Tang Ye felt somewhat puzzled!

Why hasn't this guy given up yet!

He wouldn't be addicted to the chase, would he?
