Chapter 575: He Has Human Warmth!

~8 min read 1,481 words

Tang Ye and Xiao Hui took a taxi to leave the hotel.

While waiting for the traffic light, Xiao Hui saw the timing was about right and brought up her request for a job transfer to Tang Ye.

"I have a request that is a bit difficult to make."

Tang Ye secretly thought that Xiao Hui had finally spoken up, and said softly, "Du Xi told me about your situation; you are very unhappy working in your current unit and want to transfer."

Tang Ye still had to maintain Du Xi's standing, indicating that Du Xi had already spoken to him about it.

The two of them were husband and wife and had to look after each other's face.

Xiao Hui lowered her head and wiped away tears with a look of grievance, "Actually, I also know that making this request will put you in a difficult position, but I have no other way. I originally thought Shao Jinbo would help me find a way, but every time he just mocks me for being ungrateful. I don't have much ambition; I just want to find a position I like. I really regret it now, not listening to you back then and just being content as a teacher at the school. If possible, I still want to return to the campus!"

Tang Ye saw that Xiao Hui was putting on a strenuous performance!

After all, they were classmates once, and she had also gone to great lengths to help him secure a project.

Tang Ye had his principles, but he was not a heartless person.

"I have taken this matter to heart. But I cannot give you a guarantee. If I encounter a suitable opportunity, I will help you maneuver it." Xiao Hui looked up, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes, and she reached out to grab Tang Ye's arm, "Really? I knew you would definitely help me."

Tang Ye dodged Xiao Hui's hand and coughed, "Xiao Hui, you actually have quite a lot of career ambition, you are beautiful, and you are very capable, but I have a suggestion: I hope you can be down-to-earth and keep a steady heart."

Xiao Hui heard the intent of Tang Ye's advice, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, "I know what you mean. I often have to participate in social engagements and come into contact with all kinds of people, but as a woman, that is also a move made out of helplessness. However, I promise you that I have principles and a bottom line. Even though Shao Jinbo has betrayed me, I have always been loyal to our marriage."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "I have said a bit too much today. If there was anything presumptuous, please forgive me."

Xiao Hui shook her head, "Faithful words are hard on the ears. Tang Ye, I know you have my best interests at heart. Please rest assured, I will not let you down."

Tang Ye knew that Xiao Hui's conversation with him had a certain element of catering to him.

Xiao Hui understood Tang Ye very well!

He eats soft, not hard!

If she wanted Tang Ye to help her, and she acted particularly utilitarian or hypocritical, Tang Ye would certainly not help her sincerely.

Conversely, if Xiao Hui presented an image of being positive, upwardly mobile, sincere, and hardworking, Tang Ye would take the request she made to heart.

The taxi arrived at the hotel entrance.

Xiao Hui got out of the car. Tang Ye did not get out; he waved goodbye to her and then said to the driver, "Go to the Provincial Party School!"

Waiting until the taillights disappeared from view, Xiao Hui turned and walked toward the hotel.

She opened her phone and found several missed messages, all sent by Tan Weibin.

"Where are you? How about we find a place and have a cup of coffee?"

"Why aren't you replying to my messages? I'm very worried about you."

"If you don't reply to my messages again, I'm going to get angry."

Xiao Hui sighed inwardly, dialed Tan Weibin's number, and said feignedly and weakly, "President Tan, I think I drank too much. I just saw your messages, I'm sorry!"

Tan Weibin had originally been very conflicted, but seeing the message from Xiao Hui, his mood eased quite a bit, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Send me the address, and I will come to take care of you."

Xiao Hui said with emotion, "President Tan, thank you for caring about me. However, let's skip it for today; you should get some rest early too. When there is another opportunity, I will definitely keep you company properly."

Tan Weibin laughed with regret, "Alright then, you get some good rest. If there is anything you need, contact me at any time."

Hanging up the call with Xiao Hui, Tan Weibin rubbed his temples.

Having seen all kinds of women, Tan Weibin naturally knew that Xiao Hui was playing mind games to keep him on the hook, but this only increased Tan Weibin's desire to conquer her.

Xiao Hui knew what Tan Weibin was planning; only by not letting him succeed would he keep her in his heart.

Her strategy for dealing with Tan Weibin was to cast bait, keep pulling, and play hard to get.

Whether for men or women, what cannot be obtained is always the best.

This is a woman's nature, and it is also human nature!

After showering, Xiao Hui received a call from Shao Jinbo.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Xiao Hui sneered, "You often play until midnight before coming home, and I never managed you, so why are you managing me?"

Shao Jinbo was silent for a few seconds, "Xiao Hui, don't be fucking ungrateful. I am caring about you!"

Xiao Hui said, "I am in Qiongjin! I can't go back today!"

Shao Jinbo was so hateful he gnashed his teeth until they creaked, "Very good, staying out all night now!"

Xiao Hui said angrily, "Think whatever you want. Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Shao Jinbo took a deep breath and relentlessly pursued the questioning, "You've been running to Qiongjin a lot lately; what exactly are you busy with?"

Xiao Hui said, "I'll tell you the truth: I want to ask Tang Ye to help me transfer my job, so I introduced a project to him. He is at the Provincial Party School for training, so I organized a gathering in Qiongjin today."

Shao Jinbo widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Tang Ye, how could you bow your head to him?"

Xiao Hui curled her lip, "If I don't beg him, who else can I beg? Your uncle doesn't even answer your calls anymore."

"Will Tang Ye help you?"

"He has already promised me. He is a person with human warmth; when the time is right, he will give me a hand."

Xiao Hui was also not sure if Tang Ye would help her, but she subconsciously used this matter to provoke Shao Jinbo.

Because Shao Jinbo was too lacking in motivation!

"He can help you transfer your job? You are overestimating him too much!"

Xiao Hui said coldly, "Shao Jinbo, put away your arrogance. Tang Ye is now a Deputy Division Level Official and a student in the Division-level Young Cadre Training Class at the Provincial Party School. You are currently just a Deputy Section Level; what qualifications do you have to look down on Tang Ye?"

"Heh, you look up to him now. What about before?"

"People change. You held a hand of good cards but played them into a total mess. But when he faced setbacks, he was able to rise to the challenge. I regret it to death! I regret marrying you!"

"Do you think Tang Ye would look favorably upon you? Compared to Du Xi, you have no advantages. Tang Ye is a vain person with a strong sense of utilitarianism. What he values is Du Xi's family background! Is your father a Standing Committee Member of the Municipal Party Committee?"

"Shao Jinbo! I never hoped that Tang Ye would look favorably upon me, but I especially wish right now that time could turn back! I would choose someone else to marry; as long as I wasn't with a spineless wretch like you, that would be enough!"

Shao Jinbo was so angry that sparks appeared in his eyes, his breathing was rapid, and he sneered mockingly, "I'll keep my eyes wide open and watch. I wish you success in getting what you want!"

Hanging up the call with Shao Jinbo, Xiao Hui closed her eyes and took a long time to calm her mood.

The biggest difference between Tang Ye and Shao Jinbo is that Tang Ye urges himself to forge ahead, while Shao Jinbo only brings himself negative energy.
