Chapter 916: I Hope You Can Be Better!

He Haiyang sat in his office, his fingertips pressing against his throbbing temples!

He had not expected Tang Ye to make it into the briefing once again!

The protagonists in the briefings changed often, but the achievements Tang Ye created each time were of high value and particularly glaring.

Previously, he had intended to obstruct Tang Ye through Zhang Lin, but he had not expected Zhang Lin to slip up first.

With no other choice, He Haiyang could only look for other breakthroughs.

Dai Guofeng was a good choice.

Last month, he had secured a billion-level investment project and was riding high!

But now, he had been crushed once again by the achievements Tang Ye had made.

Educational poverty alleviation and industrial poverty alleviation had been implemented one after another, and now he had even succeeded in tourism poverty alleviation!

After this series of intensive "political achievement combinations," it would be difficult for anyone to compete!

Returning home, He Haiyang saw Shen Minghan sitting on the sofa at a glance.

His wife's face was ashen, and a knot of lingering gloom was locked between her brows.

He slowed his pace as he walked over, his voice softening: "What's wrong? You look so upset, as if you're very unhappy."

Shen Minghan suddenly raised her head, picked up a briefing from her side, and slapped it onto the coffee table in front of He Haiyang with a "clack," her tone carrying suppressed anger: "Can I be happy?"

He Haiyang picked up the briefing and scanned it quickly, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and looked up at Shen Minghan: "Who gave you this briefing?"

"I told Hou that as long as there is news about Tang Ye, he should pass it to me immediately." Shen Minghan's tone carried a hint of questioning, "What? You were still planning to hide it from me?"

A bitter smile appeared on He Haiyang's face, his tone helpless: "How could I hide it from you? I just didn't want these troublesome matters to affect your mood."

Hearing this, tears welled up in Shen Minghan's eyes instantly, her voice choking with sobs: "You've started lying to me... I really feel especially terrible inside."

He Haiyang sighed heavily and reached out to pat the back of her hand gently: "Wife, I swear, from now on, no matter what happens, I won't hide anything from you."

Shen Minghan picked up a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffled, and her tone carried a hint of relief: "Actually, I've thought it through during this time. If my brother's and my father's revenge can't be avenged, then so be it. I plan to let it go completely and live my own life well."

Looking at this appearance of Shen Minghan, who had almost "resigned herself to fate," a strong sense of unwillingness and humiliation surged in the bottom of He Haiyang's heart.

His heart tightened suddenly, and he gripped Shen Minghan's hand firmly, his eyes determined: "Wife, your enemies are my enemies. I have been planning the matter of dealing with Du Chengfeng and his son-in-law; it is only a matter of time. You must believe me."

Shen Minghan hurriedly hugged He Haiyang's arm tightly, her head leaning gently on his shoulder: "Husband, of course I believe you. It's just... I know you have your own difficulties."

He Haiyang shook his head gently, a trace of coldness suddenly flashing in his eyes: "Don't say that, there are no difficulties!"

In fact, He Haiyang had long ago secretly learned about the entire process of Tang Ye's application for the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area.

Involving such a large cake of interests, it must inevitably involve a game between multiple parties behind the scenes.

He keenly noticed a key detail.

Although Tang Ye had successfully secured the project, he had offended a force that could not be underestimated in the process.

Sometimes, to deal with a person, one does not need to take action personally; one only needs to seize the opportunity and push the waves from the sidelines to achieve the goal.

After getting off work, Tang Ye arrived at the Dayu Women's High School.

Before Tang Ye could speak, the security guard recognized him and said hurriedly: "You are Secretary Tang from the County Party Committee, right!"

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised: "You know me?"

The security guard responded with a smile: "Of course I know you! Principal Jin talks about you every day, and I also admire you very much. Are you here to see Principal Jin?"

Tang Ye shook his head: "I'm here to see Teacher Huang Sitian."

The security guard was stunned for a moment, then opened the gate: "Please come in!"

Tang Ye politely declined the security guard's kindness: "I'd better not break the school's rules. I'll just give Teacher Huang a call."

After saying this, Tang Ye dialed Huang Sitian's phone.

Upon learning that Tang Ye was waiting for her at the school gate, Huang Sitian was quite surprised. She immediately put down what she was doing and walked quickly to the school gate. "Why did you come?"

"I wanted to invite you to a meal, I wonder if you have time?"

"I have time!" Huang Sitian agreed with a smile, "Wait for me to change my clothes and I'll be there."

Not long after, Huang Sitian came out wearing a purple dress.

"My treat today." Tang Ye said with a smile, "Order whatever you want to eat, don't be polite!"

Huang Sitian nodded: "Alright, then I won't be polite with you."

The two found a clean shop to sit down and each ordered a dish they liked.

While eating, Huang Sitian suddenly remembered the scene when she first invited Tang Ye to dinner; at that time, she did not know that Tang Ye was a cadre here for an exchange.

Tang Ye picked up the soda on the table and said to Huang Sitian with a smile: "Teacher Huang, I must thank you properly."

Huang Sitian looked surprised: "Thank me for what?"

Tang Ye explained: "The approval for the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area Project has come down. This time, regarding the Heiniu Mountain matter, if it weren't for Secretary Huang helping in secret, it definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Huang Sitian was silent for a moment and said softly: "My aunt suddenly went to see you, and I felt quite embarrassed; I didn't have the courage to ask you."

Tang Ye laughed: "I was really startled at the time! However, my psychological quality is okay, so I explained the ins and outs of the matter to Secretary Huang."

Huang Sitian smiled: "My aunt has a good impression of you."

Tang Ye shook his head gently: "Actually, your aunt has something she wants me to pass on to you."

Huang Sitian looked at Tang Ye with complex eyes: "What is it?"

Tang Ye said earnestly: "The experience at Dayu Women's High School is very important for you, but it shouldn't be your end point. You have the opportunity to help more people through different choices. Why not give it a try?"

Huang Sitian laughed in spite of herself: "So you came to be a lobbyist!"

Tang Ye nodded frankly: "I think what Secretary Huang said makes a lot of sense; you can consider it seriously."

Huang Sitian was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I have already considered it, and I will adopt your suggestion."

"So quick?" Tang Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, since it is a correct suggestion, why should I hesitate?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment.

Watching his expression, Huang Sitian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Tang Ye scratched his head and smiled helplessly, "I had prepared several sets of excuses, but now it seems none of them are needed anymore."

Huang Sitian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sincerity is the best weapon; I can feel that you genuinely want me to become better from the bottom of your heart!"

Tang Ye nodded slightly and said with emotion, "That's right, I hope you can be better! You've hit the nail on the head."
