Su Ming had just arrived when Gou Fugui also turned up.
Gou Fugui is the director of the Health Bureau, ranking higher than Li Lisen.
But Li Lisen is about to be promoted to director.
A Public Security Bureau director usually also serves as a deputy mayor, and some even join the Standing Committee, so Gou Fugui still has some reverence for Li Lisen.
After entering the private room, Gou Fugui politely said, "Su Ming, I wonder why you wanted to see me?"
Su Ming got straight to the point, "Donglai Gym has been falsely accused by your Health Bureau of failing hygiene standards and can't open for business now. What do you think should be done about this?"
This Gou Fugui was actually Yu Hua's classmate, and it was under Yu Hua's influence that he wanted to mess with Donglai Gym.
Though Yu Hua is the president of Wendong Group, Li Lisen is the future Standing Committee member, whom Gou Fugui fears more.
After thinking for a moment, Gou Fugui quickly said, "It must have been a mistake by my subordinates. I'll have them re-evaluate it, and within three days, Donglai Gym can reopen for business."
"Great, thank you, Director Gou." Su Ming personally poured him some tea. The two drank and chatted about other things before leaving the teahouse.
Three days later, Donglai Gym opened for business as usual, still as crowded as ever. At this rate, making tens of millions a year wouldn't be a problem.
Due to the high number of customers, that small office simply couldn't meet the demands of the business.
The boss's wife and Fang Ziqing discussed and decided to buy an office building for operations.
Right behind Donglai Gym, there's a six-story office building. Due to the economic downturn in recent years, the building was left vacant.
The building was relatively old and vacant, so the rent was cheap. After negotiating, they rented it for sixty thousand a year.
After renting the place, Su Ming wanted to reward the guys, so he said to everyone, "Tonight I'm treating, let's drink till we drop."
Fang Ziqing's first reaction was that a poor driver couldn't afford a fancy place, so she immediately made an excuse, "I have things to do, you go ahead."
But A Biao, Tang Hanyang, and others jumped up happily.
"Thanks, Brother Ming, for the treat!"
"I'm definitely going to drink up tonight."
"Brother Ming is so great..."
In the midst of everyone's cheers, Su Ming brought them to a high-end restaurant, ordered many signature dishes, and had a few bottles of Maotai on each table, drinks were unlimited.
Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content.
By the time everyone was full and satisfied, it was already 1 AM.
Su Ming spent tens of thousands when paying the bill, but he wasn't the slightest bit distressed.
Because now he had the ability to afford it!
The boss's wife and Su Ming got into the car.
The boss's wife was intoxicated, looking even more beautiful and charming!
But she said, "Drink less in the future, it's too harmful to your health. I'll drink less too."
"Okay, I'll drink less in the future." Su Ming indeed felt a bit drunk and was slightly moved by the boss's wife's concern.
"Shall we drive to your place first, and then I'll get a cab back?" the boss's wife said.
"I want to go to your place." Su Ming replied.
Su Ming wasn't a fool; although the boss's wife accepted Wu Guizhen's existence, she was surely still jealous!
If they called a cab to go back now and let the boss's wife ride another cab home, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Ah! What are you thinking?" The boss's wife was startled, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? Didn't your parents approve of us being together? It's perfectly legitimate for me to go to your house." Su Ming said with a hint of drunkenness.
"You don't want to get intimate at my place, do you..." The boss's wife stared at Su Ming.
"I have no such intentions; I just want to spend a night at your place without getting intimate with you." Su Ming said seriously.
"Are you telling the truth?" The boss's wife still couldn't quite believe it. After all, whenever Su Ming was alone with her, he'd want to do that kind of thing.
"Of course it's true. Don't you want to take me back?" Su Ming asked the boss's wife.
"Of course, I want to take you back." The boss's wife didn't even think before answering.
"Then just take me back." Su Ming smiled contentedly.
"Hmm." The boss's wife nodded.
Then they called for a driver to take them to the boss's wife's house.
But the boss's wife sat in the car, unable to muster the courage to get out!
This time was entirely different from before; it was her first time taking Su Ming home openly, so she was extremely nervous.
Su Ming was also quite anxious, given that Shen Tenglong was an imposing figure, and even he felt pressured in his presence.
"Isn't Dad asleep yet? It's almost two in the morning." Su Ming asked with a smile.
"It's not our dad, it's my dad!" The boss's wife said shyly.
"It's all the same. You and I shouldn't draw such clear lines." Su Ming smiled even more brightly and said, "Let's get out of the car."
"You get out first." The boss's wife became even more shy.
Su Ming felt a bit speechless, "This is your home; you're bringing me back, and you hide at the back, isn't that inappropriate?"
"You're the man; walking in front with me following behind is normal. Isn't it a man's responsibility to protect the woman?" The boss's wife said.
"I'm drunk, my legs are weak; why don't you help me walk together." Su Ming chuckled.
The boss's wife also laughed, "I didn't expect your legs to go weak before even entering my house. Your courage is smaller than I thought."
"I have plenty of courage." Su Ming said.
"Stop messing around, watch what you say after we go in." The boss's wife reminded.
"Got it." Su Ming nodded, and the two got out of the car. The boss's wife supported Su Ming as they walked inside.
They soon reached the living room door, feeling guilty as if they were thieves. After all, they weren't married yet, and Su Ming's emotional situation seemed complicated. It would be difficult to marry the boss's wife!
In this situation, bringing Su Ming home was certainly not legitimate.
After opening the living room door, they saw Vice Mayor Shen Tenglong sitting on the sofa smoking, the cigarette tip glowing intermittently, seemingly with heavy thoughts!
"Dad, why are you always smoking in the living room without the lights on?" The boss's wife quickly turned on the light and said.
"I enjoy watching the flickering glow of a cigarette." Shen Tenglong extinguished the cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray, then looked at Su Ming, "It's your first time being brought home by Mengxue, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Lin." Su Ming replied politely.
"It's late. I'll go to bed now; you two should rest early too." Shen Tenglong stood up, ready to head to bed.
"Okay, Uncle Shen." Su Ming replied politely.
Shen Tenglong took a couple of steps, then turned back to the boss's wife and said, "Your mom made chicken soup; you and Xiao Ming should go have some."
