"I’m going... This place is way too crowded!"
Lin Fan, having taken a nap, walked into the banquet hall only to find it was packed both inside and out.
The scene truly resembled a wedding banquet without equal; so people were even inquiring who’s elder was celebrating their birthday, suspecting that even the Mayor’s mother wouldn’t have such a grand affair.
"Expect to set up more than fifty tables, and there are also many who gave money, made their appearance, and left straightaway."
Li Hui Fang ca up to Lin Fan and said with a pout, "Even my elentary school classmates are here, and the crazy thing is I can’t even rember their nas; they just drop off money and don’t look back!"
"Isn’t that so. I don’t recognize at least half the people here myself, but everyone’s acting so friendly as if they know well; it’s just too scary to tell who they actually are."
Li Huizhen ca over with a furrowed brow, experiencing a similar situation.
"There’s no helping it, who doesn’t want to cultivate a good relationship with the County Magistrate? After all, us common folks don’t usually have the chance to et the County Magistrate, and now that they finally do, it’s sothing to brag about even if it’s just bluffing."
Xu Jingyi ca over, accustod to this sort of situation, but slightly worried as she looked at Lin Fan, "The only trouble is, throwing such a big party under your na might cast you in a negative light, right?"
"That’s exactly what I want. How did the task I gave you go?"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes; he had intentionally stirred up the scene to put certain people at ease.
"He sneaked out in the afternoon to make a phone call; I found an excuse later to take his phone, and sure enough, he had sent a tip-off to County Magistrate Zhao. The bastard truly is a thorn planted by your side."
Xu Jingyi clenched her fist, angrily staring at Liu Shengrui who was chattering away in the distance, the very man Zhao Chuanchun had installed as a spy by Lin Fan’s side, to monitor his every move.
"As long as he made the call, that’s good. So people wouldn’t be at ease until they see being indulgent and wasteful."
Lin Fan nodded contently; he was putting on a full act for a reason. Now that Zhao Chuanchun was inford and cautious, his doubts would be less, giving Lin Fan the opportunity to get closer to the core.
"Brother-in-law, you’re just asking for trouble by doing this, why put yourself in such a position?"
Li Hui Fang looked at Lin Fan with confusion, but he just smiled, "In ’Emperor Skill’, you use people’s strengths and target their weaknesses. A person with no desires is the most difficult to control, but soone who is insatiable, soone who has obsessions—they’re the easiest to manipulate. So I have to show a certain image to the other side, to let them know I’m a scoundrel, and only then will I have a chance to descend to their level."
"But if you ruin your reputation, what about your future?"
Li Huizhen watched Lin Fan with concern, not wanting her own personal matters to affect his officialdom career.
After all, she could no longer be of any help to him and didn’t want to be a hindrance either.
"Once one’s basic needs are t, they start thinking about pleasures. We have to survive first, then worry about reputation, or else it’s all just fantasy."
Lin Fan said, embracing her, "No matter what, today you’re the center of attention, so just enjoy the envy and jealous glares from others."
"Okay, then you should take your seat too. No one dares to sit until you do."
Li Huizhen didn’t question things as deeply as her sister, and so from now on, whatever Lin Fan said, she believed, without asking for reasons.
"Let’s sit together."
Lin Fan then looked at Li Hui Fang, who hadn’t gotten a seat at the table during the noon banquet and was full of complaints. For tonight’s banquet, accommodating more than twenty people, she definitely deserved a seat as well.
So, following Lin Fan’s lead to the table, the bustle of the banquet hall gradually quieted down. Everyone sneakily glanced at Lin Fan seated there, whispering among themselves with lowered heads, no one knowing what they were saying.
In the banquet hall of over fifty tables, there was an air of harmony, and Lin Fan, sitting at the main table, naturally enjoyed his wine and the company, basking in the admiring and reverent looks from the people around him. Hearing the modest praises from the older generation, Lin Fan just gave a faint smile, and it wasn’t long before he was flushed from drinking.
"You go ahead and leave... I’ll sober up before I go back!"
Lin Fan, on his way to the restroom and leaning against the washbasin, waved off Li Huizhen, who had accompanied him. There were simply too many people toasting him, and he was struggling to keep down even water, let alone liquor.
"Alright, then take a good rest, and if it gets really bad, just go upstairs to rest."
Li Huizhen nodded and made her way back to the main table, while Lin Fan pushed open the door to the third restroom and at that mont, a figure soft as jade flung itself into his embrace.
"Brother-in-law, feeling the effects of the booze again?"
Gong Binqi supported Lin Fan as he sat on the toilet, then started unbuttoning her dress to reveal her swollen breasts, presenting them to him, "Have so fresh milk, it’ll help you sober up."
"This antidote is excellent. If I ever drink too much again, I’ll co looking for you."
Lin Fan held her ample breasts in his hands and began to suck on them earnestly. There really is sothing different about the fresh stuff—one sip and he imdiately felt much clearer-headed. As he caressed Gong Binqi’s full hips, the ’Sky Pillar’ also began to rise steadily.
