C151 – Happiness
Wang Guohui asking for directions? That was a first!
“The Green Cloud Club?”
Wang Guohui paused, then gave the table a solid thump: “Tell him I’m in. But he doesn’t need to foot the bill—I’m hosting tonight!”
The secretary was taken aback.
Wang Guohui was usually swamped with work, not known for being particularly demanding in other areas.
He had simply preferred his secretaries to be younger and more attractive, though their work capability always ca first.
Truth be told, they had been sowhat apprehensive when they first started working for him. However, years passed, and they found that he never once harassed them.
The chairman of Cloudsea Navigation Company had extended multiple invitations to Wang Guohui, who seldom accepted.
Filled with curiosity, she quickly returned the call.
At the club, two n past fifty were enjoying the hot springs.
CEO Sun gave Wang Guohui a sly smile: “Old Wang, you used to tell to stay away from here. What’s gotten into you today, suddenly inviting and offering to pay?”
“That’s my business!”
Wang Guohui replied with a secretive grin.
“Co on, drop the act. What’s the deal?”
“You’re always buried in work, and it’s taken a toll on you. It’s about ti you took a break. Your company is so well-established that you hardly need to lift a finger anymore; your team can handle everything, can’t they?”
“Exactly, and I happen to know the club owner. He ntioned they’ve got so new staff these days. I thought I’d bring you along to et them.”
They exchanged a knowing look and burst into laughter.
After their bath, they made their way to the top-floor VIP room.
Old Sun was visibly surprised by Wang Guohui’s confidence.
The following morning.
Old Sun was helped out by attendants.
He had twisted his waist the night before.
Luckily, being at a massage club, he got so therapists to work on him, and he was almost back to normal.
Standing at the door, Old Sun was all set to tease Wang Guohui as he ca out. But to his surprise, Wang Guohui erged with his back straight and a spring in his step, flanked by the two technicians from the previous evening.
The two technicians were visibly uncomfortable.
They kept smiles plastered on their faces and clung to Wang Guohui with their arms, seemingly unable to bear the thought of letting go.
Their complexions were pale, and they walked with a noticeable wobble.
Old Sun spotted the oddity imdiately and was utterly baffled by it.
Old Sun gulped down his saliva and cautiously approached Wang Guohui: “Old Wang, you’ve got to spill it—did you co across so kind of miracle drug? Look, we go way back, you can’t keep secrets from . If you’ve got sothing good, na your price—I’ll pay whatever it takes.”
Wang Guohui, now in his fifties, was brimming with vitality, a clear sign that sothing was amiss.
“Old Sun, don’t spout such nonsense. I’m not on any strange dication. You know every drug cos with side effects.”
Wang Guohui was feigning ignorance, but what if this charade upset Mr. Su?
“I’ll offer two million.”
“Do I look like I need your two million?”
“Five million!”
“Get lost!”
“Ten million!”
“Old Sun, you’re chasing fantasies.”
Yet, Wang Guohui had no intention of revealing the truth.
Indeed, his visit was to gauge the potency of Su Ming’s fennel. He hadn’t expected much, but last night’s outco had taken him by surprise.
The efficacy of the fennel was astonishingly potent.
It had exceeded all his expectations.
He vividly recalled not even being this formidable at eighteen.
If word got out, Mr. Su would surely hold him accountable.
What’s more, Mr. Su had ntioned having an ample supply of both the potion and the item. This implied that Mr. Su had even more valuable treasures at his disposal. Should Mr. Su feel generous enough to share even a fraction with Wang Guohui, the benefits would be imnse.
But if Wang Guohui managed to offend Mr. Su over this trifle, the regret would be unbearable.
Lost in his elated thoughts, Wang Guohui was jolted back to reality when Old Sun suddenly dropped to his knees.
The gesture took Wang Guohui completely by surprise!
