By the time Waiter Maidong rushed back to the hotel, three bottles of baijiu had already been consumed by the dinner table. Three bottles of baijiu was a large quantity for ten people, and everyone reeked of alcohol.
"Hey... our busy man is back..."
"Hey, why are there so many things?"
"Is this... a big purchase?"
Cheng Li's eyes widened. He had never imagined that Wen Maidong was really going on a large purchase. You know, none of the people from above would act like this. Only Wen Maidong was incomprehensible.
"I thought since I came to City S, I need to bring something back to see my wife."
Wen Maidong placed a large pile of things at the door. He had already instructed the waiter to move them all into his room. He then grabbed a wine glass and began to pour wine with unrestrained grace.
"Come on, it's my fault for taking a while. Mainly because my wife had a lot of things on her list, and I lost track of time as I bought them one by one. Don't blame me, bosses. I'll drink first to show my respect."
Just tilt your head back and pour all the wine into your mouth.
Seeing Wen Maidong's performance, many people were stunned. It's true that heroes emerge from youth! The Yangtze River's waves behind push forward the waves in front, and they, the old waves, were washed up on the beach.
"good……"
Cheng Li stood up and applauded, his eyes showing admiration. "You are very good, kid."
"Director Wen, you are a real person who never shows your true face!" If you show your true face, you are not a real person, right?
"ox……"
"Boss, that's awesome..."
Wen Maidong didn't even frown, downing half a bottle of wine without a single reaction. Faced with such a drinking capacity, everyone couldn't help but envy him. You know, how did they develop their drinking capacity? It was the drinking culture that honed their skills. From vomiting to their current calm composure, they've endured a lot.
"No, no. It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
"If your drinking capacity is just a trifle, then there is really nothing that can compare to it."
"By the way, I just heard Director Wen mention his wife. Isn't Director Wen still single? So, do you have someone you like? I was originally thinking of introducing Director Wen to someone."
Sitting in the second seat, Cheng Li immediately became concerned about Wen Maidong's marriage. After all, since his profile still listed him as unmarried, Wen Maidong was a potential prospect in their eyes. If possible, they'd be lucky to have a girl who could charm him, and avoid this incident.
"Ahem... Secretary Cheng, I already have a fiancée. We have a very good relationship, so there's no need to introduce me to someone."
Wen Maidong choked on water while drinking it. He never imagined that this group of people would try to use a honey trap on him. Fortunately, he had Chen Yun by his side, so he had an excuse. Otherwise, it would have been really troublesome.
"Oh, really?"
"Well, we plan to get married soon. Everything is ready at home."
The wedding, a series of procedures have been arranged. After returning home, all he had to do was wait for it to begin. Wen Maidong didn't want any changes here. Before marrying his wife, without writing her name in his household registration book, everything would change. Wen Maidong didn't want any changes. This was not the result he wanted.
"Oh... okay then!"
It’s really a pity. Cheng Li originally wanted to arrange for a few college students to come over.
The back-and-forth between Wen Maidong and Secretary Cheng was known only to the two of them. As if they were evenly matched, the difference in skill between the two was clear. Their eyes met, revealing the other's fear. Neither could do anything to the other, neither could prevail.
"Come... come, let me toast everyone. City S has a lot of fun things to do. We'll take you all out for a tour starting tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Sure! That's fine. We just want to go out for a walk."
"What fun places are there in S City?"
"With several leaders accompanying us, we naturally feel at ease."
"That's right, that's right. We are relieved to have several leaders accompanying us."
By then, it would be so relaxing and free to have fun. In the capital, bumping into someone might be a connection, perhaps even a high-ranking official, so everyone was naturally cautious. In City S, there was no need to worry about this at all. They were either local tyrants or well-connected, so there was no need to be cautious.
"Okay then, let Lao Wang show you around and bring you some local specialties. We have a lot of good stuff here."
Cheng Li looked at everyone meaningfully. His good stuff was really good stuff, but whether he could take it away depended on his performance.
"Really? That's great, Secretary Cheng, you're so kind."
"Yes! Secretary Cheng, you are so kind."
Wen Maidong couldn't help but turn away as he watched his subordinates feign ignorance. He didn't want to admit that these people were his subordinates. Looking at their expressions, he really didn't know how to express his feelings. He was speechless! Helpless... perhaps even more so, a sense of unwillingness to face the blow of reality.
"Really? I'm really okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's much, much better than ours."
This sparked a lot of complaints, and Cheng Li and the others naturally wanted to hear more from the group, so they could better understand their personalities. Following this topic, everyone began to chat about family matters. Wen Maidong's expression remained calm, but he knew deep down that these guys were just seizing the opportunity to tarnish his reputation. Well, let them do what they wanted.
"Let me tell you, our boss is a henpecked husband..." After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Wen Maidong's expression.
"Hep-control?"
The officials standing by were shocked. They all wondered what kind of person could tame Wen Maidong?
"Yeah! He's totally henpecked. Our boss's target is really powerful."
"How powerful is it?"
Everyone looked at the man beaming with disbelief. Was this true? Was it really that amazing? Was it real or fake? It didn't seem like it, but Wen Maidong's actions clearly showed that he cared about her, which made sense. It was truly puzzling, and they desperately wanted to know more, to dispel their well-intentioned thoughts.
"Director Wen, I never thought you were also henpecked."
"Could it be that Secretary Cheng is also like this? Then your wife must be very capable as well!" Wen Maidong couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Li's mouth twitched twice. He really didn't expect Wen Maidong to respond like that. Okay, although it was the truth, he still didn't want anyone to know about it. It was mainly because of the face-saving aspect. Being called a henpecked husband wasn't a pleasant thing to hear.
