Chapter 172 Yang Guangyue
The address Wang Bihan sent was a holiday villa in the suburbs of Guangyue, quite far from the city.
It was already dark when Tang Shuo arrived at the resort.
Tang Shuo had no idea about the Yang Guangyue he was going to meet.
Although Wang Jianye had made arrangements in advance, Tang Shuo knew nothing about this person. Apart from some published resumes, he only knew that he was from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Moreover, with Wang Jianye's level, he would not say anything thoroughly, at best he would just hint at the other party.
Tang Shuo rang the doorbell of a villa mentioned at the address, and the door was soon opened.
The person who opened the door was a young man with fair skin. Seeing that Tang Shuo didn't say much, he nodded and walked in. It seemed that he had already known that Tang Shuo was coming.
Tang Shuo was no longer polite and followed the other party into the villa.
Tang Shuo also knew that this holiday villa was rented, so the furniture inside was very ordinary and there was nothing surprising about it.
Tang Shuo was about to ask the young man about Yang Guangyue's whereabouts when a man in his fifties or sixties, wearing an apron, poked his head out of the villa's kitchen and said to him with a smile, "You must be Tang Shuo, right?"
Tang Shuo had seen Yang Guangyue's photo. Although the man in front of him looked a little more haggard than in the photo, Tang Shuo knew that this man was the one he was visiting.
However, Tang Shuo was really surprised by the other party's attire. Who would have thought that the second-in-command of the Guangdong region would wear an apron and cook for himself?
"It's me. You must be Uncle Yang." Tang Shuo nodded and asked.
"Yes." Yang Guangyue turned around and said to the young man who brought Tang Shuo in, "Xiaochen, treat Tang Shuo. There's another dish that will be ready soon."
The young man, already sitting on the sofa, had a blank expression on his face. He spoke sparingly, "Hmm."
Yang Guangyue smiled at Tang Shuo and said, "You talk to Xiaochen first. I'll call you when I'm ready."
"Yeah." Tang Shuo agreed with a smile.
The fact that Yang Guangyue was willing to meet him in such a place meant that he did not treat him as an outsider. Seeing his attitude, Tang Shuo felt relieved. At least he did not seem to be someone who was difficult to communicate with.
Tang Shuo walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He looked at the serious young man in front of him and said, "Your name is Xiaochen?"
"Yang Chen." The young man replied.
After Yang Chen finished answering, Tang Shuo waited for a long time but saw no response from him, so he asked again: "How old are you?"
"Twenty-five." Yang Chen said impatiently.
"Are you at work?" Tang Shuo asked.
"..." Yang Chen glared at Tang Shuo and simply kept silent.
"Aren't you working?" Tang Shuo asked patiently, "Are you living off your parents at home now?"
After talking with Jiang Tiantong and Jia Ting, Tang Shuo has come up with a way to deal with people who don't like to talk, which is to ask questions non-stop.
It wasn't that he wanted to curry favor with the leader's son, but the TV in the living room wasn't on and there wasn't anything entertaining, so he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
"Shut up." Yang Chen looked at Tang Shuo and said.
"Is this how your father taught you to treat guests?" Tang Shuo asked. "Then I'll have to ask him later."
Yang Chen seemed a little afraid of Tang Shuo's threats, and replied with a strong temper, "It's time to go to work!"
"Oh." Tang Shuo nodded and asked in an elder's tone, "Is your work going well? Have you encountered any problems?"
Yang Chen took two deep breaths and said, "It went smoothly."
"That's good." Tang Shuo chattered on, "Don't be discouraged when you encounter difficulties at work. Learn from me."
Yang Chen felt that he was not feeling well. He stood up and went straight to the bathroom. If he stayed with Tang Shuo any longer, he would definitely go crazy.
Seeing the other party leave, Tang Shuo chuckled at the two of them, then closed his eyes and thought about his next words.
Not long after, Yang Guangyue in the kitchen called out, "Tang Shuo, Xiaochen, come and eat."
Tang Shuo immediately stood up and went to help Yang Guangyue move the dishes to the table. Yang Guangyue smiled and did not refuse. Only then did Yang Chen come over.
The dinner was not sumptuous. Apart from a steamed grass carp and two vegetarian dishes, there was only half a pot of rice porridge left.
Yang Guangyue helped each of them pour a bowl of porridge, then smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "Eat first, and then we can talk about your business."
Tang Shuo nodded and began to eat the rice in the bowl.
He hadn't eaten much all day and felt a little hungry at this time, so he couldn't help but drink two more bowls of porridge.
Yang Guangyue nodded secretly at Tang Shuo's performance. Even without the introduction from his old leader Wang Jianzhong, he still had a good impression of Tang Shuo.
This young man looks very comfortable, not pretentious or artificial!
After dinner, Tang Shuo took the initiative to help Yang Guangyue clean up the dishes, and then the two sat on the sofa in the living room.
"Xiaochen, go pour some water." Yang Guangyue said to the taciturn Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen went to pour water, Yang Guangyue said, "My old leader has already told me about your situation. Is Ding Xinran's death related to you?"
Tang Shuo was stunned. When he saw Yang Guangyue sitting upright while eating just now, he vaguely felt that there was some military shadow in him. He didn't expect that the other party was so straightforward.
From this point, we can see that Yang Guangyue is a man of upright character.
So how did the other party work in the local area and how did he reach his current height?
Seeing Tang Shuo's surprised expression, Yang Guangyue smiled and explained, "You were introduced by my old leader, so I didn't treat you as an outsider. Just tell me what you have to say."
Tang Shuo had been planning to play some guessing game with Yang Guangyue, but upon hearing his response, he blurted out, "It's me."
Yang Guangyue was not surprised. In fact, he had already figured out the matter after Wang Jianzhong made the call. He also learned a little about Sheng Tang and Tang Shuo.
He was still aware of Ding Xinran's death, and the fact that Ding Yongshan had time to take action against Tang Shuo at this time explained everything.
"What do you want to do?" Yang Guangyue asked. "If you want to save your prosperous Tang Dynasty, I can call and help you right now."
Tang Shuo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Yang, do you have any news? I want to pull Ding Yongshan down directly."
The person who knows a person best is often his enemy, and Ding Yongshan’s enemy can barely be considered Yang Guangyue.
What Tang Shuo said was that he wanted to ask the other party if there was any inside information that could be dug up, which could cause trouble for Ding Yongshan.
Yang Guangyue smiled and shook his head, saying, "Ding Yongshan's style is still very healthy. It's hard to cause trouble to the other party with this. If Ding Xinran hadn't died, there might be some way, but now..."
Tang Shuo took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Yang Guangyue, saying, "Do you think this is okay?"
What he handed to Yang Guangyue was the IOU that Ding Xinran had written. After Wang Shanshan reported the incident, Lao Mao returned the IOU to him.
Yang Guangyue glanced at the IOU, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's useful, but it's too insignificant."
"Do you have a rough idea of the direction?" Tang Shuo asked. "I can send someone to check."
Yang Guangyue thought about it, then whispered a few words into Tang Shuo's ear. After hearing it, Tang Shuo's face was full of joy.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang." Tang Shuo expressed his sincere gratitude.
In fact, Yang Guangyue's advice to him was not really helping himself, because this matter was also beneficial to him, but this time he was willing to be used as a gun by the other party.
Tang Shuo came up with a new definition of an official's evil nature. The first impression Yang Guangyue gave people was that he was kind, but the other party's strategy had nothing to do with kindness.
At this time, Yang Chen also came over with the freshly boiled tea. After pouring tea for the two of them, he sat aside.
"What were you and Xiaochen talking about just now?" The two of them had already finished talking about their business, so Yang Guangyue did not continue the previous topic.
"We talked about work." Tang Shuo replied.
"Oh, it seems like you two get along very well." Yang Guangyue smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "Xiaochen just came back from the United States and hasn't had any work recently. Can you see if you can find him one?"
When Yang Chen heard his father's words, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Tang Shuo nodded, glanced at Yang Chen and said, "Of course no problem, let's go to Sheng Tang."
