Chapter 957: Lowering Haibin's Guard!

Tang Ye?

Haibin was full of question marks, and it took him a while to react.

He waved his hand at the woman beside him.

The woman smiled at Haibin, crawled off the bed like a cat, and walked into the bathroom.

"Secretary Tang, may I ask what the matter is?"

"I'm organizing a gathering and would like to invite you to a meal. I wonder if you would do me the honor?" Tang Ye invited with a smile.

"How could I let you go to such expense? Let me pick the place, and we shall get together!" Haibin wondered to himself, had Tang Ye changed his nature, and why would he suddenly show goodwill toward him?

"This meal must be hosted by me! Besides you, I have also invited Boss Li of the Hongling Group. I wonder if you mind?" Tang Ye said with a smile.

Haibin understood now; Tang Ye had come to smooth over the conflict between him and Li Na.

Sure enough, just as he had expected.

The newly opened copper mine in Dayu County was Tang Ye's Achilles' heel!

"Of course I wouldn't mind!" A smile appeared at the corner of Haibin's mouth.

Tang Ye nodded: "Alright, once I arrange the location, I will send you the address."

After hanging up the phone with Haibin, Tang Ye dialed Li Na's number.

"I'm organizing a gathering to arrange a meeting between you and Haibin!"

Li Na said in surprise: "Meet him? Is that necessary!"

Tang Ye said: "It is better to resolve grievances than to harbor them. In business, one should try to make as few enemies as possible; it is better to avoid extra trouble."

Li Na was silent for a moment, then said reluctantly: "Fine, I'll listen to you."

Three days later.

Tang Ye set up a table of drinks at the Yanzhou Hotel.

He was hosting Haibin and Li Na.

Li Na had arrived early.

Haibin arrived ten minutes late on purpose.

When Haibin walked into the private room.

Tang Ye and Li Na stood up.

Tang Ye took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Haibin.

"Boss Hai, welcome!"

Haibin grasped Tang Ye's hand and shook it: "Secretary Tang, you are truly too polite."

Afterward, he walked toward Li Na and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Boss Li, I finally have the chance to have a meal with you."

Li Na smiled: "It is my honor!"

After everyone was seated, Ma Ran instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.

Once the dishes were all served, Tang Ye raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Meeting is fate.

The two of you had some misunderstandings before; I hope that from this moment on, you will forget the previous unpleasantness.

Although Dayu County is a National-level Poverty-stricken County, it does not lack business opportunities. As long as the two bosses seize the opportunity of Dayu County's rise, you will certainly be able to make your enterprises bigger and stronger!"

Haibin downed the wine in his glass, poured another, and turned to Li Na.

"Boss Li, just as Secretary Tang said, there are many opportunities in Dayu County. Our previous cooperation did not succeed, and there were some unpleasantries. I hope there will be possibilities for cooperation in the future. You must believe in the strength of Jinjun; we will absolutely not hold you back."

Although Li Na disliked Haibin, out of respect for Tang Ye, she smiled and said: "Please rest assured, Boss Hai. If there are new projects, I will definitely consider cooperating with you first."

Haibin quickly said: "I'll remember those words, Boss Li, don't try to fool me!"

"Secretary Tang can be the witness!"

Tang Ye smiled, "Mm, I will guarantee it!"

Haibin felt that there might be something fishy between Tang Ye and Li Na.

Either it was a collusion of interests, or a romantic relationship.

If it were the latter, then Tang Ye was truly impressive.

Li Na's father and younger brother had both been sent away by Tang Ye.

If he could still tame Li Na and make her his woman.

Then he was truly a high-end player...

After three rounds of drinks, Tang Ye hooked his arm around Haibin's shoulder and whispered into his ear:

"Boss Hai, there is one thing I must remind you of; you need to pay attention! Zhong Leng's wife, Hu Ying, recently not only came to me but also went to our new County Party Secretary. She harbors suspicions about the cause of Zhong Leng's death."

Haibin's expression suddenly darkened: "This woman is truly inexplicable."

Tang Ye remained calm: "I, of course, hope that things don't become more complicated, but the County Party Secretary has just taken office, so I cannot easily guess her intentions."

Haibin said: "Thank you for the reminder, Secretary Tang. Don't worry, I will handle this matter clearly and will absolutely not cause you any trouble."

Tang Ye said in a serious tone: "Boss Hai, whatever needs Hu Ying has, try your best to satisfy her. You must not let the matter blow up."

A cold glint flashed in Haibin's eyes, but he said aloud, "Rest assured!"

In his heart, however, he thought that some people are wolves that can never be fed enough.

After the meal ended, Haibin suggested, "Secretary Tang, shall we go for the next round? Young Master Liu has already opened the drinks."

Tang Ye said with regret, "I have to accompany the new Secretary for research tomorrow, so let's do it next time!"

Haibin arrived at the nightclub's private room.

Liu Cheng had been waiting for a long time; seeing him appear alone, he asked in surprise, "Where is Tang Ye?"

Haibin said indifferently, "He said he has important work tomorrow and cannot come."

Liu Cheng frowned, "For a Deputy Division Level Official, he sure has a big ego! I feel he is still on guard against you."

Haibin smiled faintly, "Regardless, he is already willing to have contact with me."

Tang Ye's actions could be seen as an overture of goodwill toward him.

In his view, Tang Ye's aloofness and arrogance had vanished completely!

This made him feel incomparably satisfied!

"It won't be long before he becomes one of us!" Liu Cheng laughed, "By the way, do you plan to title-sponsor the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe's cultural performance in Dayu County?"

Haibin looked at Liu Cheng in surprise, "Why? Do you have some thoughts?"

Liu Cheng scratched his head, "Yin Hong wants to replace Li Youyou to perform the solo dance!"

Haibin was puzzled, "Has she not gotten it yet?"

Liu Cheng said regretfully, "Her pants were already off, but at the critical moment, she got her period! Just thinking about it is bad luck!"

Haibin reminded him irritably, "This woman Yin Hong is not simple; she is a high-level green tea bitch, you need to be mentally prepared."

Liu Cheng shrugged, "I'm used to drinking plain water, so I want to change the flavor. Aren't you also quite obsessed with Li Youyou?"

Haibin rubbed his forehead in frustration.

Although Yin Hong was calculating, at least she knew what she wanted!

Li Youyou was a fierce, untamed filly, very difficult to control!

However, she would be taken by him sooner or later!!

……

After Haibin left.

Li Na said with somewhat complicated feelings, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"No need for thanks, this is what I should do. This man Haibin is insidious and cunning; if the conflict is not resolved, he will continue to pester you later."

Li Na said firmly, "I am not afraid of him."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "I know you are not afraid of him, but we still need to keep up appearances."

Li Na said, "Men die for wealth, birds die for food. Hongling Group's main business is mining, and having gone through many storms over these years, I know what I'm doing."

Tang Ye felt the confidence of a "local tyrant" in Li Na's words.

Perhaps Haibin had connections in the province.

But within the territory of Yanzhou, Li Na indeed had the confidence to contend with him.

"Are you still going back to Dayu today? If you aren't going back, shall I book a room for you?"

"I still have to return to Dayu County, thank you for your concern."

Parting ways with Li Na.

The smile in Tang Ye's eyes vanished along with it.

This gathering was ostensibly to ease the conflict between Haibin and Li Na.

In reality!

On one hand, it was to make Haibin lower his guard.

On the other hand, it was to cast a lure for him!

Now, it was just a matter of seeing when Haibin would take the bait!
