Chapter 350: Chapter 350: I Took Your Wife Away

"Mayor Lin, sorry to keep you waiting!"

After his shower, Zhou Daguai, feeling refreshed, walked into the living room where Lin Fan was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Bai Xue, on the other hand, stood at the dining table, head down, arranging the dishes and cutlery, paying no heed to him.

"No problem; a bath lets you drink a couple more."

Lin Fan smiled as he stood up and walked to the dining table, where several delicious dishes awaited—his favorites.

"Exactly, tonight I’ll definitely keep Mayor Lin company and have a good drink!"

Zhou Daguai hurriedly went to a nearby cabinet, poured two glasses of spirits, and walked over. Bai Xue, however, did not sit down but kept her head down and walked outside: "You guys go ahead and drink. I just cooked and worked up a sweat; I need a shower."

Having said that, she walked out of the room. Bai Xue, who had kept her head down from the beginning, felt her cheeks burning hot, and as she walked, a silky sensation trickled down from the root of her thighs—it was what Lin Fan had just left inside her.

"Women are such a hassle. Well, Mayor Lin, let’s drink!"

Zhou Daguai didn’t mind at all and, laughing, joined the table, oblivious to the lingering scent of their intimacy filling the room.

"Brother Zhou, no need for formalities off the clock. You’ve been working hard lately in Fengtai Village. This drink is to you."

Lin Fan said, smiling as he raised his glass to Zhou Daguai.

"It hasn’t been hard at all, and thanks to your help, how else could such an opportunity have arisen? Speaking of hard work, Mayor Lin, you’ve had it tougher, especially with promoting Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation—it’s all been in my sight. If not for your wise leadership, things would have been very different."

Even though Lin Fan had asked not to be called ’Mayor,’ Zhou Daguai dared not really believe that, and his flattery continued non-stop.

"Just a few days ago, folks from a few villages organized a trip to the neighboring province to see how the Chinese Herbal Medicine is grown. When they came back, they all praised it highly. Now, those who didn’t get the chance to go are running over to me every day, from every village, begging to be included in the first batch of pilot partners. Some even said they’d pay for the cultivation themselves, as long as we handle the purchasing."

"Now they’re anxious, but it’s too late. They can go to whoever they should."

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt quite pleased inside. Although thankless, at least it was a real accomplishment. By next autumn, when the Chinese Herbal Medicine is harvested, these people will regret even more.

"As for the ones who signed the partnership intentions, they are now rather smug, while those who didn’t make it are bitterly criticizing Cai Wenguang, calling him troublesome and a hindrance to their earnings. These days, neither he nor his family has been seen out and about. Someone even threw several heaps of dung at their door; the place stinks."

Zhou Daguai was animated as he spoke, satisfied that Cai Wenguang was now getting his just deserts. The village chiefs who used to follow him were now cursing him behind his back, even his own Cai Family were saying he was heartless.

"People have their own standards of what’s heavier or lighter, and it’s best understood in their hearts—no need to escalate conflicts further. His comeuppance will come."

Lin Fan was not inclined to kick a man while he’s down—after all, an old farmer wasn’t worth his anger. After a sip of wine, Lin Fan then spoke: "I spoke with Mayor Li today about your work as the village secretary; you’ve been quite outstanding. So we want to add you to the Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation support group. Mayor Li will lead the group, with the entire town government staff joining. How do you feel about being the deputy leader?"

"Deputy leader!"

On hearing this, Zhou Daguai’s eyes widened with excitement; he knew all too well the importance of this position, especially since Li Pinghai was mayor and occupied with other tedious tasks on typical days, meaning his deputy would hold significant power. This was a stepping stone to becoming Deputy Mayor.

"What, not satisfied?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhou Daguai, who was speechless. Realizing it, Zhou Daguai exclaimed: "Satisfied, very satisfied... Thank you, Mayor Lin... I... I’ll down three shots!"

Zhou Daguai excitedly stood up, grabbed the spirits, and drank three shots in quick succession. But such rash drinking made his head swim, and soon he was lying motionless on the floor.

"What... what happened?"

A freshly bathed Bai Xue, returning to the room, looked in astonishment at Zhou Daguai sprawled on the floor. Had this guy gone mad?

"He’s obsessed with becoming an official. I just offered him the deputy leader position, and he insisted on drinking three shots with me, and then started spouting nonsense."

Lin Fan drew Bai Xue close, slipping his hand into her shirt and kneading her still slightly cool, full body.

"What nonsense did he say?"

Bai Xue leaned into Lin Fan’s body, asking with curiosity, while Lin Fan, with a sly grin, patted her perky bottom saying, "He said to take you out and play around, making sure you beg for mercy!"
