Chapter 935: Sharing Two Pieces of Good News!

"President Hai, it's getting late. I have to rush back to Dayu County tomorrow morning to handle some business, so I'll take my leave now. If there's an opportunity another day, we shall gather properly again." Tang Ye put down his wine glass, stood up, and said.

Hai Bin let out a hiccup from the alcohol and stood up unsteadily: "Alright, let me see you out."

"No need for the trouble, I'm fine!" Tang Ye waved his hand with a smile, "You've had quite a bit to drink, so get some good rest. No need to see me off, please stay!"

Hai Bin was indeed struggling to hold on. Exhausting his last bit of sobriety, he instructed his subordinate beside him: "You see Secretary Tang off for me."

That subordinate hurriedly stood up and respectfully escorted Tang Ye all the way downstairs to the hotel.

When the subordinate returned to the private room, he found that Hai Bin was already lying on the sofa, having passed out.

Looking at the table full of empty wine bottles, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "This man surnamed Tang looks so refined and scholarly, I didn't expect his alcohol tolerance to be so astonishing. He really can drink like hell!"

After returning to his hotel room, Tang Ye first took a hot shower, then picked up his phone and realized it was already quite late.

He opened his text message inbox and discovered that, besides the message from Du Xi, there was also a text from an unknown number.

"Hello Secretary Tang, this is Li Youyou. Thanks to you stepping in to help me out of a tight spot tonight, I'd like to invite you to a meal when you're free to express my gratitude and thank you for your righteous assistance."

Tang Ye stared at the text for a moment, pondered briefly, and replied simply: "You're welcome."

When Li Youyou received Tang Ye's reply, she found the content very formal and felt somewhat surprised.

Li Youyou was never short of pursuers, and she was used to those of Hai Bin's type.

So she felt that Tang Ye helping her today might be because he had a favorable impression of her.

But judging by the speed of the reply and the quality of the content, it seemed she had been overthinking it.

Around five in the morning, Hai Bin was jolted awake by intense discomfort as alcohol reflux triggered stomach spasms.

A burning pain surged from his stomach, as if it were tearing his abdominal cavity apart.

He stumbled into the bathroom and vomited uncontrollably while leaning against the toilet, only finding slight relief once his stomach was completely empty.

The ordeal lasted for a full two hours before he collapsed onto the floor, exhausted, and fell back into a deep sleep.

When he finally woke up completely, Hai Bin rubbed his throbbing temples and dialed his subordinate's number.

"How did I black out yesterday?"

The subordinate replied hurriedly on the other end: "President Hai, that man surnamed Tang could really drink. You were also quite heated at the time; no matter how we tried to stop you, we couldn't, and in the end, you drank too much."

Hai Bin patted his head, which felt like it was about to explode, and suddenly remembering something, he pressed: "By the way, why did Li Youyou run off yesterday?"

The subordinate paused, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation: "President Hai, there's something I don't know if I should say..."

"Spit it out! Don't be wishy-washy!" Hai Bin scolded impatiently.

"I suspect that Tang Ye deliberately came over to help Li Youyou out of that situation yesterday," the subordinate said cautiously, fearing he might provoke Hai Bin.

"Oh? Do he and Li Youyou know each other?" Hai Bin frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something fishy, "His attitude yesterday was indeed abnormal."

"It's like this, before Xue Ying entered our private room, she went to the room where Tang Ye was staying for a while," the subordinate hurriedly reported what he had observed truthfully.

A cold sneer curled the corner of Hai Bin's mouth: "Heh, I didn't expect him to play the hero saving the beauty."

He stroked his chin with his palm, his eyes turning sinister, "Li Youyou will be mine sooner or later; she's too easy to get, which actually makes it less challenging. As for Tang Ye..."

His voice trailed off, his tone filled with threats, "He will pay the price for this little bit of cleverness sooner or later!"

While Tang Ye was driving back to Dayu County, his phone suddenly rang, and Ou Xiye's number appeared on the screen.

After connecting the call, Ou Xiye's voice carried an unconcealable sob: "Tang Ye, the test results for Xia Xia are out. Professor Ding said that although the situation is complex, there is still hope for a cure. We can proceed with treatment through a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine."

The heart that had been hanging in Tang Ye's chest instantly dropped, and he hurriedly said: "That's truly wonderful! Secretary Ou, is there anything I can help with? For example, regarding finances, if you're in a difficult spot, please don't hesitate to speak up."

Ou Xiye smiled on the other end of the line, his tone revealing a trace of relief: "Thank you for your kindness. Your sister-in-law and I have some savings, so the medical expenses are not a problem for now. I won't be coming back before the New Year; I'll stay in Yanjing to accompany them. Please keep an eye on the work in the county for me."

Tang Ye hurriedly reassured him: "Secretary Ou, please rest assured and handle the matters there. If there's any situation, I will report it to you in a timely manner."

Ou Xiye urged: "Also, regarding Xia Xia's condition, please take the trouble to keep it confidential; I don't want too many people to know."

Tang Ye nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, I will keep it strictly confidential."

After hanging up the phone, Ou Xiye took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the hospital room.

Xia Xia was lying on the bed, and seeing that Ou Xiye's eyes were red, she asked softly: "Dad, why are you crying? Is my illness incurable? If it can't be cured, then I won't treat it anymore. I don't want you and Mom to worry about me anymore."

Ou Xiye walked quickly to the bedside, held Xia Xia's right hand, and his voice was gentle yet firm: "Silly child, Dad isn't crying because of sadness, but because I'm too happy. Professor Ding said that your illness will be cured very soon, and you'll be able to recover after a while."

Xia Xia's dim eyes instantly lit up, and she asked with surprise: "Really? Can I really get better?"

Ou Xiye gently stroked his daughter's hair, nodded, and smiled: "Of course it's true, you will slowly get better."

Xia Xia nodded obediently, a naive smile appearing on her face: "Then Mom won't have to watch over me every day. I can cook for myself, wash myself, take care of myself, and be a real adult."

After returning to Dayu County, Tang Ye didn't go back to his residence first, but went directly to the County Government and knocked on the door of Jiang Anbang's office.

Jiang Anbang looked up, saw it was Tang Ye, felt slightly surprised, and stood up with a smile.

"Did your trip to the province go smoothly? Did you have any gains?"

As he spoke, he was about to get up to pour tea for Tang Ye.

Tang Ye hurriedly stepped forward to take the teapot: "County Magistrate Jiang, please sit. Your leg hasn't fully recovered yet, don't exert yourself, let me pour it."

After pouring a cup of tea for both of them, Tang Ye spoke: "I came directly to see you this time because I want to share two pieces of good news."

Joy immediately appeared in Jiang Anbang's eyes, and he leaned forward slightly: "Oh? What good news? Hurry up and let me hear it."

"The first piece of good news is that Zhengding County has taken the initiative to propose collaborating on their camellia oil industry project with our county's E-commerce Incubation Base."

"Moving forward, we will use our Incubation Base as a platform to help them broaden the sales channels for their camellia oil, while also enhancing the reputation of our base. It can be said to be a win-win situation."

"The second piece of good news is that I also met with Troupe Leader Xue of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, and we have preliminarily decided to hold a Public Welfare Performance in Dayu County," Tang Ye continued, "Taking this opportunity, we can promote the advantages and potential of Dayu County, thereby attracting more entrepreneurs to invest in our county and contribute to our county's development.

However, both of these projects will have to wait until after the New Year to begin implementation."

Jiang Anbang couldn't hide the joy on his face and nodded repeatedly.

"These are indeed both good news!"

Feel free to go ahead and do it; if you need anything, or if the county needs to coordinate support, tell me at any time.

In terms of manpower, material resources, and financial support, I will certainly cooperate!
