Chapter 576: Ginger is Still Spicier When It's Old!

After classes ended the next morning, Dong Miaoying found Tang Ye, and the two began chatting about their chance encounter at the hotel yesterday.

Dong Miaoying asked with a smile, "How did your talk with Hongyang Education Group go yesterday?"

Tang Ye told her the truth: "It was our first meeting, and the initiative was on Hongyang's side, so we provided preferential policies as much as possible."

Dong Miaoying said, "Tan Weibin is a smart man. He originally wanted the two best plots of land in Shugang District, but later, due to planning adjustments, the cooperation couldn't be reached."

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "We'll take it one step at a time. If Hongyang is willing to invest in running a school in Suiyuan, that is certainly a good thing; if they aren't willing, we cannot force it."

Dong Miaoying affirmed, "Your mindset is very good. By the way, that female classmate of yours yesterday seemed to have a good temperament and appearance, and she was quite close with you, too."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand. She is my high school classmate. She works at the Education Bureau of Chengzhong District and had contact with Tan Weibin before, so she specifically introduced him to me. She isn't happy with her work in Chengzhong District now and wants to ask me for help with a job transfer."

Dong Miaoying suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. Her image and temperament are indeed quite good; she is well-suited for reception, business, and social engagements."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Dong District Chief, if you have a suitable position, please keep an eye out for her."

Dong Miaoying was quite straightforward: "I'll keep it in mind."

Tang Ye had only mentioned it to Dong Miaoying in passing; if Dong Miaoying could really help Xiao Hui solve her job transfer problem, it would be no loss to him, and it could be considered helping Xiao Hui resolve a difficult problem.

Given Xiao Hui's personality, if he didn't help her, she would definitely go and pester Du Xi relentlessly.

For Tang Ye, a personnel transfer for a Deputy Section Level position did not present much difficulty.

It was just that a position wouldn't be available at any time; it required waiting for the right opportunity.

"On Wednesday night, please be sure to attend a dinner party." Dong Miaoying went around in a circle before finally getting to the point.

"It isn't another drinking contest, is it?" Tang Ye asked with a smile.

"My younger brother wants to invite me to dinner, and I want to invite you to accompany us. I believe you will definitely give me this face," Dong Miaoying said with a smile.

Dong Miaoying's younger brother—wasn't that Dong Tianbao?

After spending this period of time together, Tang Ye and Dong Miaoying were already quite familiar with each other, so their conversation became more casual.

"Fine, I'll gladly accept," Tang Ye answered readily.

On Wednesday, after classes ended, Tang Ye went to the school gate with Dong Miaoying and sat inside a black Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the restaurant of a five-star hotel.

Upon seeing Tang Ye, Dong Tianbao immediately stood up and walked over to greet him: "County Magistrate Tang, welcome!"

Tang Ye shook hands with Dong Tianbao, then sat down in a chair. Seeing the table full of delicacies, he said with a smile, "Boss Dong, this meal today is very grand; I'm afraid it wasn't cheap!"

Dong Tianbao smiled modestly: "Today I am treating my elder sister to dinner. County Magistrate Tang, please set your mind at ease; you don't need to have any burden."

Tang Ye laughed loudly: "Fine, then I'll take advantage of Dong District Chief's presence and have a good meal today."

Besides Dong Tianbao, there was also a pretty woman in the private room; she was Dong Tianbao's girlfriend.

People like Dong Tianbao were never short of girlfriends, and they would choose to bring different girlfriends to attend based on different occasions.

The girl in front of them, named Xiaoli, was a graduate student who had graduated from a well-known university in the province. Not only was her appearance outstanding, but her speech was also very appropriate. On this occasion, she appeared slightly inexperienced, but she was able to add much color to Dong Tianbao.

"What shall we drink today?" Dong Tianbao looked at Dong Miaoying and asked for instructions.

Tang Ye thought to himself that Dong Miaoying's deterrent power over Dong Tianbao was quite significant.

Dong Miaoying smiled at Tang Ye: "How about red wine?"

Tang Ye nodded slightly and agreed: "'Grape wine in luminous cups, the pipa urges us to drink. If I lie drunk on the battlefield, do not laugh, for how many have returned from war since ancient times?' Red wine is very nourishing, especially friendly to women; drinking a little every day can protect the skin and nourish one's looks."

Halfway through the dinner, Dong Miaoying picked up her wine glass and said to Tang Ye with a smile, "My brother had some misunderstandings with you before; please don't take them to heart."

Tang Ye hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said in a relaxed manner, "The previous conflicts were because our positions were different. As the saying goes, we wouldn't have gotten to know each other without the fight. The development of Suiyuan cannot do without the support of entrepreneurs like Boss Dong. I hope Boss Dong will let bygones be bygones and continue to support my work."

Dong Tianbao hurriedly raised his glass with a smile on his face: "County Magistrate Tang, I rarely admire people, but you are definitely one of them. In the future, there will be many areas where I will need your care and guidance."

Tang Ye drank the wine in his glass and then showed the bottom of the glass: "Boss Dong, you flatter me. I won't say anything more; it's all in the wine."

After the dinner ended, Dong Tianbao suggested to Dong Miaoying: "Sister, the hotel has an open-air hot spring; shall we go and soak in it?"

Dong Miaoying smiled: "Since we've arrived at the best hot spring location in the whole province, of course we must experience it. County Magistrate Tang, what do you think?"

Tang Ye said, "I'll follow the host's lead; I have no objections."

Seeing Tang Ye agree, Dong Tianbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had previously learned a little about Tang Ye and had originally thought he was a hypocrite who put on a sanctimonious front. He hadn't expected that after interacting with him today, he would find that he not only had charisma but was also very easygoing.

Dong Tianbao called the hotel waiter to make the arrangements.

Tang Ye went to the VIP lounge, chose a pair of shorts, draped a bath towel over himself, and went to the outdoor hot spring area with Dong Tianbao.

In the largest hot spring pool, the water surface was steaming hot. Tang Ye hung up his towel and went into the water.

Outside, the cold wind was biting, but the hot water enveloped his whole body, and soon all the pores on his body opened up.

Dong Miaoying and Xiaoli changed into swimsuits and walked out, chatting and laughing. There wasn't the slightest hint of bashfulness in their conversation, and they entered the water calmly.

Through the thin water mist, the figures of the two were visible and then hidden.

Dong Miaoying's figure was fuller than he had imagined, yet there wasn't an ounce of excess fat; her lower abdomen was flat, and her hip shape was also very beautiful. One could tell at a glance that she was a very self-disciplined person.

Dong Miaoying was also secretly observing Tang Ye's physique.

Dong Tianbao sat together with Tang Ye, and the contrast was very obvious: one looked like a vigorous leopard, and the other looked like a white, fat pig.

Two men and two women were soaking together in a pool of hot water, their eyes very restrained, while they felt the warmth and spoke with a hint of ambiguity.

After soaking for a little while, the group went ashore.

Dong Tianbao and Xiaoli walked hand in hand and saw Dong Miaoying and Tang Ye off into the car.

Things had progressed very smoothly, and the stone in Dong Tianbao's heart had also fallen to the ground.

Treating them to dinner today was to prepare for the bidding of the Finance Hotel that Suiyuan County was selling.

Tang Ye's say in the matter was very significant!

Now that the previous grudges were cleared, at the very least, Tang Ye would not obstruct the later bidding work!

Tang Ye returned to his dormitory, opened his laptop, and pulled up the thesis that had been revised several times.

The thesis had already been sent to Hong Ruilin for review, and Hong Ruilin had offered quite a few opinions, which he had also revised repeatedly.

A Party School thesis has many differences from an academic thesis at a university.

A Party School thesis must be built upon trends and mainstream thought, and at the same time, it must ensure political correctness.

Looking at Huaguo over these many years, many people have not lost out due to economic issues or matters of conduct, but have lost out due to their political stance.

For a thesis like this, which relates to the economic situation, if the scale is not controlled well, it is very easy for it to appear rash or passive, and subsequently, for one to be labeled.

The revision suggestions given by Hong Ruilin gave Tang Ye much food for thought.

Ginger really is spicier when it's old!
