Chapter 545: Are You Comparing Your Fortune to Tang Ye's?

Hanzhou.

A private room in a five-star hotel.

Dong Miaoying walked into the private room.

Dong Miaoying wore her hair short and looked very capable; in official circles, it is rare for women to stand out, but those who generally do are very formidable characters.

Dong Tianbao smiled and helped her take off her coat, hanging it on the coat rack.

Dong Miaoying glanced at Dong Tianbao indifferently: "If you have no reason to be solicitous, you are either a traitor or a thief. Speak, why did you invite me to dinner today?"

Dong Tianbao pulled out a chair for Dong Miaoying and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you saying? Isn't it a common occurrence for me to invite you to dinner? This table of seafood was air-freighted from Min Province this afternoon. I know you like to eat this, so hurry and try it."

Dong Miaoying looked at Dong Tianbao with a look that was not quite a smile: "If you don't say what it's about, I wouldn't dare to eat your food so casually."

Dong Tianbao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Sister, last time you asked me to get on good terms with Tang Ye, I regret it quite a bit now. Things have indeed gone wrong."

Dong Miaoying said: "I heard. Hasn't the dispute over the ancestral hall already been resolved?"

Dong Tianbao's expression turned gloomy: "Yesterday, several of my venues were raided. I have a very profitable venue that was accused of being involved in organizing prostitution for minors. I am truly wronged! If I don't think of a way, the person in charge of the venue will have to go to jail."

Dong Miaoying looked at Dong Tianbao in surprise: "Are you sure it was instigated by Tang Ye?"

Dong Tianbao nodded slightly: "I crossed paths with him at the scene of the sealing. This guy is younger than I imagined and has a feminine look, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. I contacted Gao Hong, wanting to ask him to come forward and mediate, but Gao Hong didn't pay any attention to me at all. Gao Hong is unreliable!"

Dong Miaoying picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the seafood elegantly: "You still haven't set your mindset right. The landscape of Suiyuan has changed long ago."

Dong Tianbao was thoughtful: "Back then, in order to get connected with Gao Hong, I poured in a lot of resources and did so many things for him silently. I didn't expect him to be so useless; at the critical moment, he couldn't be counted on at all."

Dong Miaoying said: "Investing in Gao Hong back then was not wrong; you profited a lot. However, every investment has a time limit."

Dong Tianbao said in surprise: "You mean, let me invest in Tang Ye?"

Dong Miaoying shook her head: "Tang Ye has a very good reputation and is immune to money and beauty. It won't be easy for you to get a hold of his weaknesses or flaws."

Dong Tianbao changed the subject and pleaded: "Sister, please help me find someone with weight to unseal my venues so they can start operating again."

Dong Miaoying realized that Dong Tianbao's goal was to hope she would take action, contact the higher-ups, and help him get through the current difficulty.

"I have so many people under me to support, and everyone needs to eat. If I really close for three or four months, my losses will be too great."

Dong Miaoying shook her head and sighed: "I can't help you with this matter."

Dong Tianbao looked at Dong Miaoying in surprise: "Sister, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"

Dong Miaoying said earnestly: "The connections I have can only be used at critical moments; it is far from that time yet."

Dong Tianbao looked miserable: "Are you really going to stand by and watch me die?"

Dong Miaoying said to Dong Tianbao seriously: "From the perspective of a bystander, you have been used and dragged into the political struggles of Suiyuan. The correct thing for you to do is to pull yourself out."

Dong Tianbao was stunned: "Used by others?"

Dong Miaoying nodded slightly: "You have no conflict with Tang Ye; the only dispute is the demolition of the Dong Family Ancestral Hall. I don't understand, is the ancestral hall really that important?"

Dong Tianbao touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "The Dong Family Ancestral Hall represents the face of the Dong Family. Many elders say that they are unwilling to move, as it would harm the family's fortune."

Dong Miaoying gave a wry smile: "What is fortune? How do you think your own fortune is?"

Dong Tianbao was stunned for a moment: "I'm doing alright. In the past few years, the things I wanted to do have basically been accomplished smoothly."

Dong Miaoying said: "Then how do you compare to Tang Ye?"

Dong Tianbao was stunned: "I don't know much about him."

Dong Miaoying thought to herself that Dong Tianbao didn't even understand his own opponent; no wonder he was like a headless fly.

She said in a low voice: "Tang Ye is a top student from Qiongjin University who passed the Provincial Examination as the Top Scorer. He is only twenty-nine years old and is now the Executive Deputy County Magistrate. His father-in-law is the Municipal Party Secretary-General Du Chengfeng, and his senior fellow apprentice is the Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Chengwu."

How many people can compare to this fortune? In my opinion, you should choose to follow the trend and not stand on the opposite side of him. For the sake of this seafood feast, I suggest you recognize reality, shake hands and make peace with Tang Ye, and strive to let bygones be bygones."

Dong Tianbao did not expect Dong Miaoying to hold Tang Ye in such high regard, and argued: "Gao Hong is the County Magistrate, and Tang Ye is the Executive Deputy County Magistrate. From Deputy Division Level to Section Level, this step is a chasm."

Dong Miaoying sighed helplessly: "Use your brain. In the past two years in Suiyuan, how many people have fallen? As for how many cards Gao Hong still has in his hand, what can he achieve in the future?"

Dong Tianbao gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will try to see if I can clear up the misunderstanding with Tang Ye."

"Not try; you must exhaust every means and spare no cost to resolve the conflict."

Dong Miaoying saw that Dong Tianbao was unwilling.

She had said all she could.

What Dong Tianbao does is his own business.

But as for making her use her connections to exert pressure on Suiyuan and lift the rectification, Dong Miaoying would absolutely not do that.

Dong Miaoying wiped her mouth with a paper napkin, then stood up and washed her hands in the basin.

"I'm full. I'll give you three final pieces of advice!

First, you must have foresight. Do not be used, and do not get involved in political affairs. In the short term, it seems profitable, but if you participate too much, it will surely bring about a fatal disaster in the long run.

Second, find a way to improve your relationship with Tang Ye; he has a very deep network of connections behind him. If you don't want the Dong Family to be dragged down by you, don't go against him.

Finally, find an opportunity to transfer all the gray industries in your hands, cut ties with things that cannot see the light of day, and wash clean your dark history. Hurry up; when the storm comes, it will be too late to try to clear your name."

Dong Tianbao looked at Dong Miaoying's departing back, a complex look appearing in his eyes.

Although he did not get Dong Miaoying's support, Dong Tianbao had gained an epiphany.

Thinking back carefully over this period of time, he seemed to have been possessed; why did he have to confront Tang Ye?

Now he was suddenly enlightened!

Someone was secretly instigating and using him to create problems for Tang Ye!

The next morning.

Tang Ye had not been in his office for long.

Lin Heng knocked on the office door.

"County Magistrate Tang, Dong Tianbao wants to see you."

Tang Ye frowned and nodded slightly: "Let him in!"

Lin Heng left.

Tang Ye tapped his fingers on the tabletop a few times!

Under his heavy pressure, Dong Tianbao finally could not sit still.
