"It's not Mr. Fu, you should know what I mean..."
Wan Yunting was a little confused by Ling Wei's decision. Why would she invite Du Laifu over and then choose him to be the leader of the four city districts?
What was the point of Ling Wei trying so hard with him that afternoon?
"Little Wan, I know you don't want to take on this burden."
Du Laifu waved his hand, cutting off Wan Yunting, pointed to Ling Wei beside him, and then to Meng Hu and Di She, smiling, "If you don't choose you to be the leader, then who should it be? Little Wei! Do you think they would obediently obey?"
"And these few are still very young. If you choose any one of them to be the leader, I believe that among everyone present, some will feel unconvinced, right?"
Meng Hu, Di She, Zhang Beihai, Lao Gou, Tian Ji, and Lao Si were all struck to their core by Du Laifu's words.
Indeed, if Mr. Fu had come forward and chosen Ling Wei to be the leader of the four city districts, Meng Hu and Di She would have been the first to object.
However, if one were to be chosen from among the six of them, then Meng Hu and Di She would not be convinced by each other!
"So, only you, Little Wan, are the most suitable to be the leader of the four city districts!" Du Laifu said, pointing at Wan Yunting with a smile.
This reversal caught Wan Yunting off guard and made him smile wryly. He looked at Ling Wei with confusion. She looked back at him with her smiling, foxy eyes and said coquettishly, "I'll do whatever Mr. Fu says."
This made Wan Yunting roll his eyes at her, but he still waved his hand, "Mr. Fu, I understand what you mean, but you also know that I don't like managing these things, and I still have to go back to being a teacher."
Du Laifu nodded with a smile, "You don't have to worry about that. I've already thought about it for you. You'll be the leader of the four city districts, and Ling Wei will assist you. Normally, you won't have much to do, and you don't need to manage them. I believe society won't say anything about you."
"Moreover, you've already become a great hero to the entire nation for helping the police capture the big drug lord Peng Ka from the Golden Triangle. You are a role model for everyone. I believe your future is bright!"
"Bright!"
Wan Yunting chuckled. The word, coming from Du Laifu, carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Little Wan, I believe everyone here is willing for you to take on this responsibility and lead us towards a better future. After all, this is no longer the last century where we relied on fighting. You should understand better than this old man what path to take in the future. Therefore, I hope you will consider it carefully," Du Laifu said to him seriously.
"Yes, Boss Wan, you should be the leader..."
Meng Hu, Di She, and Zhang Beihai persuaded Wan Yunting one after another, as this was the best choice.
This put Wan Yunting in a difficult position. He had wanted to stay away from all this, but in the end, he was forcefully pulled into this position.
"Boss Wan..."
Suddenly, everyone around them also started calling out, all hoping that he would be their leader.
Wan Yunting raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Wei and Du Laifu on his left, and Meng Hu and Di She on his right. Actually, Mr. Fu was right. If they had to choose one of them to be the leader, none of them would be convinced, and the four city districts would inevitably face another battle for territory and reform.
Now that Mr. Fu had chosen him to be the leader behind the four city districts, Wan Yunting thought it didn't seem to have any disadvantages. After all, sometimes, one still needed people like Meng Hu to get things done.
After half a cigarette, Wan Yunting extinguished the butt in the ashtray and turned to look at Ling Wei and Du Laifu. "Alright, I can be the leader."
"Great, that's wonderful..."
Upon hearing Wan Yunting's agreement, everyone became excited and cheered. Meng Hu, Di She, and Zhang Beihai breathed a sigh of relief. This was the result everyone wanted.
"At that time, you must not reveal this to the outside world casually. I only need to stand behind you, understand?" Wan Yunting said seriously, pointing at Meng Hu and Di She.
"Understood..."
Everyone present shouted in unison.
"In that case, my old bones can officially retire."
Du Laifu immediately stood up, leaning on his cane. Wan Yunting and Ling Wei also got up. Du Laifu smiled, "Little Wan, Little Wei, then you can discuss how to manage the four city districts yourselves. My old bones need to go back and rest."
"Okay, Meng Hu, escort Mr. Fu out for me."
"Yes..."
Meng Hu and Di She went up to send Du Laifu and the others out. Ling Wei, Kuang Long, and Han Duo'er stayed behind, as it was time to discuss the allocation of managers for the four city districts.
Watching Meng Hu escort Mr. Fu and the others out, Wan Yunting sat down. Ling Wei immediately moved closer, crossing her shapely legs and pulling up the slit of her skirt. Her charming, foxy eyes gazed at him tenderly, and she said with a smile, "Are you surprised that I gave up my goal?"
Wan Yunting picked up his wine glass, turned his head, and glanced at her, shrugging and curling his lips. "No surprise. A woman's heart is like a needle in a haystack."
Ling Wei rolled her foxy eyes and said, "You're really annoying sometimes. Can't you see my feelings?"
Wan Yunting took a sip of wine, put down the glass, and shook his head with a smile, "Are you willing?"
Ling Wei rested her hand on him and leaned half of her body onto his shoulder. Her foxy eyes gazed intently at his strong and handsome face, and she smiled, "I'm willing to see you become the leader because I've always admired you."
If you believe what women say, pigs can climb trees.
"Boss Wan."
Meng Hu and Di She returned and saw Ling Wei leaning on Wan Yunting's shoulder, which gave them a bad premonition.
Wan Yunting pushed Ling Wei away and motioned for Meng Hu to sit down. He then said, "Since you've asked me to be the leader, I won't waste any more time. For the managers of the four city districts, Ms. Ling will still be in charge of your East City! Meng Hu and Lao Si will be responsible for the North City!"
"Di She and Zhang Beihai will be responsible for the South City! Tian Ji and Lao Gou will be responsible for the West City! If anyone has any objections to this arrangement, you can state them now."
Ling Wei elegantly shifted her body, her foxy eyes looking at Meng Hu and Di She. Everyone exchanged glances and then shook their heads at Wan Yunting. Ling Wei also smiled coyly, "I have no objections."
"Alright, then it's settled."
Wan Yunting stood up, spread his hands, and said to them, "Don't look for me unless it's necessary, and even then, don't bother me. I'm leaving now."
"Ah, you're leaving already..."
Seeing Wan Yunting act like a hands-off manager and then turn to leave, Meng Hu and Di She were dumbfounded.
"Hehehe..."
Ling Wei giggled and then got up to follow Wan Yunting. Kuang Long and Han Duo'er also followed. Meng Hu and Di She were left glaring at each other...
"Want to come to my place for a bit?"
Ling Wei, catching up to Wan Yunting, naturally linked her arm through his. The surrounding people made way for them.
Wan Yunting checked the time and smiled, "It's getting late. I have to work tomorrow."
Ling Wei gave him a seductive glance and forcefully pulled him into her car. "I'm not going to eat you, get in the car..."
Kuang Long and Han Duo'er, following behind, giggled and also got into the car. Wan Yunting, who was dragged into the car, had no choice but to throw his car keys to a subordinate to drive it home...
Ling Wei's club was still crowded tonight. The patrons were either wealthy young men or perhaps urban white-collar workers.
Seeing the graceful and alluring Ling Wei lead Wan Yunting in and directly towards the office on the third floor caused the guests present to gossip.
However, Wan Yunting was now a prominent figure in Hua Du City.
Since his release from prison last month, he had been working as a cleaner at a hospital and was looked down upon by everyone.
But he used his strength to clear his name, then appeared at the business gala, his connection with Mr. Fu and the richest man, Kang Hongwen, and now his daring venture into the Golden Triangle to capture the drug lord Peng Ka, making him a household name.
"Come in."
Pushing open the rosewood door of her office, the charming and seductive Ling Wei exuded an irresistible aura, causing Wan Yunting to follow her in involuntarily. Kuang Long, who intended to follow, was unceremoniously shut out by Ling Wei.
"What do you want... uh..."
As Wan Yunting, who had just entered, turned around, Ling Wei pounced on him and hugged him, her fiery red lips directly pressing onto his mouth. Wan Yunting was stunned on the spot. He gazed at Ling Wei in front of him, seeing her red lips curl into a seductive smile, practically nakedly seductive and inviting temptation...
"Woman, you're playing with fire!"
Wan Yunting's lips curved into a smile. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but it instantly ignited the suppressed evil fire within him. He wrapped his arms around Ling Wei's slender waist, turned her around, and placed her on the desk. Their bodies were like flames, their tongues entwined, and they melted into each other...
