Chapter 54: Mayor Tang's Little Schemes!

Tang Ye announced the end of the meeting and gave Gu Wenqin a look, signaling for her to come to his office.

Unexpectedly, she was quickly surrounded by a crowd!

"Boss Gu, I want to ask you a few questions." "That's right, don't be in such a hurry to leave, let's chat more!"

In less than three months, she turned losses into profits, and her income increased dozens of times over!

The small-town entrepreneurs were indeed stimulated.

Who wouldn't want to hop on the express train to wealth?

Who wouldn't want to clearly understand the secret to making a fortune?

Gu Wenqin had never imagined she would be so popular.

From a personal perspective, she did not want to tell others the secret to Qinge's transformation.

But, she considered Tang Ye.

What Tang Ye wanted was not for Qinge to stand alone, but for the many enterprises in Pinghu Town to blossom in full.

"Boss Gu, is selling goods online safe? If the goods are sent out and the other party doesn't pay, what should I do?"

"The customer must pay first; the money stays on the platform for the time being. Once the goods are received, the platform will release the money to the merchant. With the platform acting as a guarantor in the middle, everyone doesn't need to worry. Of course, you must handle after-sales service well, otherwise, customers will provide feedback to the platform. The platform will have the customer return the goods and the merchant issue a refund. We haven't encountered any issues with funds failing to arrive yet."

"Our family makes hardware parts, can we sell them online?"

"Absolutely! We have shops on both Taobao and Alibaba. Taobao is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers, while Alibaba is aimed at large clients with wholesale needs, and you can also receive foreign trade orders. Your products are suitable for sale on Alibaba!"

Tang Ye watched Gu Wenqin patiently answer the questions, a gratified smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Rather than trying to persuade them to transform with earnest, painstaking advice, it was far more incitement-inducing to let a successful person speak from their own experience.

Returning to the office.

Chen Zhihua walked in and said with a smile, "The meeting was very effective; everyone was ignited. To be honest, even I have an urgent feeling—should I throw myself into this team?"

Tang Ye knew Chen Zhihua was joking. "For this next period, the Government needs to divert its energy to help them gradually transform."

Chen Zhihua sighed with emotion, "You really have a way." After finishing, his expression changed. "The demolition work for Aiou Electric is harder than imagined."

Tang Ye was thoughtful. "No matter how hard the nail, it must be pulled out! We must complete the demolition work as soon as possible to provide enough time for the factory construction."

After Chen Zhihua left.

Tang Ye made a phone call to Lin Ziyang.

"Today, Pinghu Town held an E-commerce sharing session, and the results were good!"

"Later on, many enterprises will join the E-commerce army one after another. You need to be prepared to popularize the basic knowledge of E-commerce for them for free."

Lin Ziyang readily agreed, "I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Tang Ye added with a smile, "On the surface, it looks free, but if you ponder it carefully, it contains huge business opportunities."

The speed of Lin Ziyang's CPU could not keep up with Tang Ye.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Ye explained patiently, "These factory owners can't even hold a mouse steady; it's too difficult to expect them to become E-commerce operators directly. I think you can consider hosting—they are responsible for shipping the goods, and you are responsible for selling them!"

Lin Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard. "That's right! Brother, your brain is so sharp! I'll come to Pinghu tomorrow and give them a good brainwashing!"

Tang Ye mused to himself that Lin Ziyang sometimes spoke too bluntly. "Don't put it so nakedly; use a different phrasing. You are bringing them a brand-new business model, a success mentor helping them reach the other shore of their dreams."

Gu Wenqin finally shook off the entanglement.

Seeing Tang Ye's text message appointment, she moved from the first floor to the third.

As soon as she entered the door, she clutched her heaving chest and sighed with lingering fear, "They are too crazy."

"A small scene; you will encounter more big scenes in the future. You still need to adapt more!"

Tang Ye took out two documents and placed them in front of Gu Wenqin.

One was an application form for the County Federation of Industry and Commerce.

One was an application form for a County CPPCC Member.

Gu Wenqin couldn't help but have her pupils shake violently. "You are recommending me to join?"

"People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles. If you want to go further, having a few more social identities is not a bad thing. Besides, Pinghu needs to establish a model."

"Am I really suitable?" Gu Wenqin asked tentatively.

"Not everyone is worth promoting, and not everyone can be promoted. You have achieved results, and your image is good. Whether it is Pinghu Town or Tianling County, there is a need to establish some local entrepreneurs with outstanding achievements in business. What's more, you are an independent woman, which gives it multiple meanings."

Looking at Tang Ye's profile, Gu Wenqin had a new understanding of him.

From the first day they met, had he calculated all of this?

Gu Wenqin found it hard to distinguish how much of her relationship with Tang Ye was coincidence and how much was inevitable.

Furthermore, how much of his care and help toward her was spontaneous, and how much was deliberate...

Gu Wenqin took a deep breath and signed her name.

Tang Ye checked the watch on his wrist. "Wait a moment, I've arranged for someone to meet you."

Gu Wenqin looked at Tang Ye strangely.

Ten minutes later, Tang Ye led a few people into the office.

Among them was a married couple, and another woman pushing a stroller.

When the two sides met, the atmosphere instantly froze.

Gu Wenqin did not expect that the person Tang Ye had helped her arrange to meet was Hong Lei's mother, as well as his sister and brother-in-law.

The sister's name was Hong Yu; she was very thin, had short permed hair, and was wearing a red dress.

The brother-in-law's name was Song Jin; he was not tall and had a scholarly appearance.

Hearing her daughter's voice from inside the stroller, Gu Wenqin instinctively rushed over.

But she was quickly blocked by Hong Yu, who stood in her way.

"Sister, let me take one look at Nini."

"Who is your sister? You have no right to see her." Hong Yu's face was as cold as frost, without the slightest intention of giving way.

The girl in the stroller was only three years old; hearing Gu Wenqin's voice, she opened her sleepy eyes, struggled to sit up, and called out in a milky voice, "Mommy, Mommy!"

Seeing this, Gu Wenqin could no longer hold on; she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

A look of reluctance appeared in the eyes of Hong Yu's mother, but seeing her daughter signal to her, she turned her face away, not daring to look.

"We had an agreement beforehand: the child is to be raised by us. We don't want your child support, but you also have no visitation rights."

Gu Wenqin's face turned deathly pale, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Hong Yu looked at Tang Ye: "As for the cause of Hong Lei's death, what exactly was it? Please tell us quickly. The child hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and we need to leave early."

Tang Ye secretly thought that this situation was indeed quite difficult to handle.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter involved Hong Ruilin and Gu Wenqin, he would definitely have stayed far away!

"The cause of Hong Lei's death was not a traffic accident."

"Not an accident? Then what was it?" A look of surprise appeared on Hong Yu's face.

On the day Hong Lei had his accident, he had an argument with Gu Wenqin, and then rode his motorcycle out in the middle of the night.

Therefore, they all unanimously believed that Gu Wenqin was the culprit behind the tragedy.

"This is the case statement issued by the Public Security Bureau."

Tang Ye placed a document stamped with an official seal in front of Hong Yu.

He waited for them to finish reading.

Tang Ye then dialed a phone number and handed the phone to Hong Yu.

Hearing Hong Ruilin's voice coming from the phone, Hong Yu froze in place.

"Xiaoyu, don't make things difficult for Wenqin anymore. Xiaolei's matter has nothing to do with her. If you want to blame someone, blame me! It was I who implicated Hong Lei. Wenqin is Nini's mother; the child has already lost her father, you cannot let her lose her mother as well, that would be too cruel."

"Grandfather, we will listen to you!"

Seeing that Hong Yu finally gave way.

Gu Wenqin hurriedly picked the child up from the stroller and kissed her eagerly several times.

The girl did not know about the adults' conflict and only thought her mother was playing with her to make her happy, letting out giggles in her childish voice.

The atmosphere, which had originally dropped to freezing point, instantly warmed up, as if spring had returned to the earth.

Tang Ye had painstakingly resolved this grudge of the Hong family, all while calculating his own little schemes!

For example:

He could make Hong Ruilin approve of him even more;

His partnership with Gu Wenqin would become even closer;

With Gu Wenqin regaining the Hong family's recognition, her background attributes would be strengthened, and she would have more potential value.

When he saw this scene of mother and daughter snuggling together...

Those little schemes in Tang Ye's heart were instantly washed away by being moved... "I beg everyone for votes and comments; once the new book period is over, I will release a burst of updates!"
