Chapter 717: County Party Secretary Ou Comes Uninvited!

"County Party Secretary Ou, how, how, how did you come here too?"

As soon as Chen Dongan finished speaking, the others all stood up instantly, looking at Ou Xiye and Tang Ye with awkward expressions.

Chen Dongan's mood at this moment was in a complete mess, as if swept up by a sudden gale.

It wasn't strange that Tang Ye appeared here—after all, he was the one who told Tang Ye the location of the meal.

But with Ou Xiye suddenly appearing at this time, he only felt his head explode like a time bomb, buzzing loudly.

Jiang Zhongwen's reaction also became sluggish, and his mind was in even greater chaos.

Because the moment Ou Xiye walked into the private room, his hand was still resting on the thigh of that female teacher wearing black silk stockings.

Ou Xiye saw it clearly.

At this moment, he felt that what was on his shoulders was not a head, but a heavy winter melon.

Hearing Chen Dongan call out the three words "County Party Secretary Ou."

The other two contractors were immediately trembling and at a loss; the feeling was no different from being caught in the act of a secret rendezvous with a mistress.

Several of them secretly felt that something big was wrong, standing there like wooden stakes, not daring to move at all.

As soon as Ou Xiye entered the door, he smelled a strong odor of smoke, and immediately after, he saw the hazy, smoke-filled scene in the private room.

His brows twitched slightly, his shoulders rose and fell, his fists were clenched tightly, and his complexion was ugly to the extreme.

Although Tang Ye had told Ou Xiye beforehand who was in the private room, and Ou Xiye had vaguely guessed what might be happening inside, when he actually saw the female teacher accompanying the Education Bureau Director and the school Principal, with stacks of cash piled in front of them, he was still so angry that his whole body trembled.

Tang Ye's face was full of surprise at first, but he quickly restrained his expression and spoke with a light cough: "Director Chen, I am truly sorry. County Party Secretary Ou and I came uninvited and have disturbed your elegant interest."

Chen Dongan hated Tang Ye so much his teeth itched!

Damn it!

I kindly invited you to dinner, and not only did you stand me up, but you also brought Ou Xiye to crash the place!

Isn't this clearly pushing me into a pit of fire?

He quickly glared at the Office Director standing at the door.

The Office Director was also suffering in silence at this moment.

Tang Ye and County Party Secretary Ou had barged in directly, giving him no time to react at all.

If he had forcibly blocked them at the time, it would have only made things look more suspicious.

Chen Dongan quickly adjusted his emotions and hurriedly explained: "County Magistrate Tang, we just finished eating and wanted to relax. We just started the game and haven't been playing long; we really didn't expect you to come over. We were just entertaining ourselves casually, playing for very small stakes."

Ou Xiye walked to the mahjong table with a steady, measured gait, suddenly sneered, reached out to support the bottom of the table, and exerted a sudden force with his arms!

The mahjong table was overturned directly, with a clattering sound, and the mahjong tiles scattered all over the floor.

The cash on the table also fluttered in the air.

The female teacher hurriedly covered her mouth, but a sharp gasp still escaped her throat.

Ou Xiye pointed at Chen Dongan, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer of disappointment, and then his gaze swept over everyone present.

His eyes were filled with intense anger.

All these people couldn't help but lower their heads involuntarily.

Chen Dongan felt as if the sky were about to collapse.

Ou Xiye was the Dayu County County Party Secretary, and his own promotion was entirely up to him.

As long as he gave the order, he could make him vacate his position by tomorrow.

As for Jiang Zhongwen, he had already completely collapsed.

He had originally wanted to rely on his connection with Chen Dongan to be transferred to the bureau as a Deputy Bureau Chief, but now that Chen Dongan's own position was precarious, his hope naturally vanished into thin air.

Ou Xiye waved his arm violently and turned to walk out of the private room.

This action was more eloquent than words at this moment!

His attitude made everyone present feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

Tang Ye did not leave with Ou Xiye, but instead gave Chen Dongan a helpless, bitter smile: "Old Chen, I really didn't expect your dinner party to be like this. I originally thought it was just a simple meal; who knew you had a second activity.

The key is, playing cards is one thing, but why bring female comrades along?

County Party Secretary Ou is someone who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes; he must be extremely angry right now."

Chen Dongan's mouth was full of bitterness, and he hurriedly defended himself: "These female comrades just stayed behind to watch us play cards after dinner; there's nothing messy going on."

Tang Ye sighed lightly: "I can understand, but County Party Secretary Ou might not."

Chen Dongan saw Tang Ye playing dumb.

He felt like strangling him.

But the most urgent task at hand was to find a way to make up for this oversight.

He suppressed his anger and asked: "County Magistrate Tang, why did you come over so suddenly? It would have been great if you could have given us a heads-up."

"I didn't expect you to be gambling, and for such high stakes." Tang Ye spread his hands, then changed the subject, "Director Chen, I do have an idea that might help you recover some of your image in County Party Secretary Ou's mind."

Chen Dongan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly urged: "What idea? Tell me quickly!"

Tang Ye spoke slowly: "When County Party Secretary Ou was in a meeting today, he specifically mentioned the road construction for Shanyang Village. The county treasury currently has no funds, and this matter has been giving him a headache.

If Director Chen can solve this matter and help County Party Secretary Ou share his worries, a bad thing can turn into a good thing."

Chen Dongan finally realized and hurriedly asked: "What is the approximate cost of building the road to Shanyang Village?"

"About five hundred thousand or so."

Chen Dongan gritted his teeth, looked at the two contractors, and said in a deep voice: "Fine!"

The contractors were already pale as ghosts, their first reaction being: they were being forced to shoulder this bill.

"Thank you for your support, Director Chen." Tang Ye nodded, "I will report it to County Party Secretary Ou like this: this dinner party was actually organized by Director Chen specifically to solve the funding problem for the Shanyang Village road. I believe that when County Party Secretary Ou learns of this result, not only will he not criticize you, but he will also feel that you are willing to share the burden of the county's financial work."

"Good, then I'll trouble County Magistrate Tang to explain it to County Party Secretary Ou." Chen Dongan's face was full of helpless, bitter smiles.

"I won't disturb you anymore." Tang Ye smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Carry on, carry on!"

Tang Ye walked away with a beaming smile.

One of the contractors asked in a cautious, low voice: "Director Chen, shall we continue to fight?"

"Fight my ass! Disperse, disperse, everyone hurry back and raise the money!" Chen Dongan said gloomily, in a foul mood.

Although five hundred thousand was not a small sum, if it could salvage their image in the eyes of Secretary Ou, this bit of money was nothing at all!

Chen Dongan thought back to how Tang Ye had promised to attend the banquet but later broke the appointment, and he couldn't help but secretly ponder: Could it be that Tang Ye had done this on purpose from the very beginning?

He could only blame himself for letting his guard down and thinking of Tang Ye as too simple.
