Chapter 934: President Hai, It

Tang Ye had to get up early the next morning to set off, so he took the initiative to stand up and take his leave.

As he walked toward the elevator, he had only gone halfway when he saw Li Youyou being gripped tightly by the wrist by a man.

"Youyou, you can't leave! To be honest, I came here specifically to support you. If you leave, that's not giving me face."

The force with which Hai Bin was gripping Li Youyou's wrist tightened, and he secretly added more strength to his hand.

It hurt so much that Li Youyou couldn't stop herself from gasping in pain.

Xue Ying's expression was extremely ugly at this moment.

She naturally knew that Hai Bin was the nephew of the Provincial Governor.

But since she could plan the Yanta Grand Stage in the Provincial Capital, she clearly had a powerful backer behind her.

Yin Hong sat on the sofa looking outside, her face composed, while she thought to herself that Li Youyou was setting her own position too high.

Dancing was a job for the young; one couldn't dance forever, and sooner or later, one had to consider a career change.

If she could follow President Hai's suggestion and take the opportunity to step into the entertainment industry, wouldn't that be a better choice?

If President Hai were willing to cultivate her, she would definitely grasp this opportunity firmly!

"President Hai, Youyou isn't feeling well. Let her go to the lounge to rest for a bit, and I'll have her come back to keep you company in a while!" Xue Ying tried hard to smooth things over.

"If she wants to rest, she can go back to her room; there's no need to go to a lounge specifically!" Hai Bin curled his lips into a cold sneer. He had long since figured out Xue Ying's background and didn't take her seriously at all.

Seeing them at a stalemate, Tang Ye walked straight toward Hai Bin, pressed his hand on his shoulder from behind, and pulled him back.

Hai Bin was pushed to the side.

Hai Bin was left somewhat dazed by Tang Ye's sudden action.

He scrutinized the man in front of him and suddenly felt he looked somewhat familiar.

He was just about to fly into a rage and open his mouth to berate Tang Ye.

But Tang Ye suddenly burst into loud laughter!

Tang Ye let go, opened his arms wide, and suddenly hugged Hai Bin tightly, saying in a warm tone: "Oh my, what a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here!"

This move by Tang Ye left Hai Bin completely at a loss.

Who the hell was this person who had suddenly popped up!

"You, who are you?" Hai Bin asked softly, his tone filled with hesitation.

Tang Ye released his embrace, grabbed Hai Bin's wrist, shook it firmly, and smiled as he reminded him: "President Hai, you really are a noble person who forgets things easily. I'm Tang Ye! We met once before at the County Party Committee Compound."

Only then did Hai Bin suddenly realize.

The person in front of him was none other than the Tang Ye he hated to the bone!

It was because Tang Ye had interfered back then that he lost the No. 32 plot of land in the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area and missed out on a huge profit.

What made him even more frustrated was that because of this incident, he had been slapped hard by the Provincial Governor.

They had indeed met once at the County Party Committee Compound, and later, Hai Bin had intended to ask Chen Qing to step in and invite Tang Ye to a meal to smooth things over.

But Tang Ye hadn't given him any face at the time, so why was his attitude suddenly so different and enthusiastic today?

"So it's Secretary Tang, what a coincidence indeed." Hai Bin suppressed the anger in his heart and responded with a forced smile.

Tang Ye restrained the smile on his face, his tone carrying a hint of emotion: "Indeed, to run into each other in the Provincial Capital is truly fate. If it's convenient, I'd like to toast you, and by the way, explain to you that regarding the No. 32 plot, I really had my difficulties."

Hai Bin's original focus had been entirely on stopping Li Youyou, but with Tang Ye's interruption, his attention was immediately diverted.

Seeing Tang Ye suddenly appear and deliberately block Hai Bin, how could Li Youyou not understand that he had come specifically to help her out of the situation?

She took the opportunity to move her feet quietly, turned around, and slipped away...

Seeing Li Youyou about to leave, Hai Bin subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her, but he was blocked by Tang Ye, who wrapped an arm around his shoulder and pulled him toward the private room: "President Hai, it's rare for us to meet, let's have a couple of drinks first."

Li Youyou hurried into the elevator, and the moment the elevator doors closed, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Recalling how Tang Ye had kept winking at her and urging her to get away quickly, she curled her lips into a faint smile and muttered to herself: "This Tang Ye is actually quite interesting!"

She had originally thought that people in officialdom were all serious, rigid, and followed the rules.

But Tang Ye's appearance gave her a completely different feeling.

Seeing Li Youyou escape safely, Xue Ying quickly gave Yin Hong a look, then turned to Hai Bin and said: "President Hai, since you have a friend here, we won't disturb your reunion."

Hai Bin didn't know that Tang Ye and Xue Ying knew each other, so in front of Tang Ye, he restrained his arrogance slightly and nodded: "Fine, let's get in touch another day."

After Xue Ying and Yin Hong left, Hai Bin poured a glass of wine for Tang Ye himself and said straightforwardly: "Secretary Tang, to be honest, I did have some issues with you before!"

Tang Ye picked up his glass and smiled: "President Hai, I have my own position! I had my difficulties when I did that back then. Because someone was watching me."

The matter had already passed, and Hai Bin knew there was no point in dwelling on previous conflicts.

"Actually, come to think of it, I quite admire you. Come, I'll toast you! As the saying goes, we don't get to know each other without a fight; how about we let bygones be bygones after this drink?"

Tang Ye actually didn't want to deal with Hai Bin from the bottom of his heart.

It was mainly because he saw him pestering Li Youyou that he stepped in to help.

After all, he would need Xue Ying and Li Youyou's help for the upcoming literary gala.

Since they had already met.

Tang Ye decided to take this opportunity to play along and probe Hai Bin.

"By the way, your company's Zhong Leng passed away from a sudden heart attack during interrogation a while ago; it's truly a pity." Tang Ye mentioned it as if it were casual.

Hai Bin's brow furrowed instantly, his tone carrying a hint of detachment: "Although Zhong Leng worked at the company for many years, I wasn't familiar with him. After he passed away, the company provided appropriate compensation to his family. Secretary Tang, can this matter come to an end here?"

Tang Ye nodded slowly, his tone calm: "Thanks to President Hai stepping in to handle the aftermath, otherwise, if Zhong Leng had died during interrogation and his family pursued the matter, it would inevitably have caused a huge uproar."

A trace of smugness appeared on Hai Bin's face, and he said with a smile: "Sharing the government's burdens and solving problems is our company's duty. If Secretary Tang needs anything in the future, just let me know, and I guarantee full cooperation."

"Then I'll hold you to that promise." Tang Ye raised his glass to signal, "The development and construction of Dayu County cannot do without the support of all sectors of society; I might really have to trouble President Hai in the future."

Seeing Tang Ye drain his glass in one gulp, Hai Bin immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Refreshing!"

After saying this, he turned to greet Liu Cheng: "Come, come, let me introduce you; this is Secretary Tang from Dayu County. His future prospects are limitless; you all hurry over and toast Secretary Tang!"

Tang Ye knew clearly that Hai Bin was deliberately trying to get Liu Cheng to make him drink.

He smiled, refusing no one who came.

After a few rounds, Tang Ye became more sober the more he drank.

In contrast, Haibin and Liu Cheng were both starting to feel the effects of the alcohol.
