Cups clinking, glasses exchanging, the drinking began, Wang Xiaoqiang and Tang Mingyuan hadn't seen each other for years, so inevitably they drank more,
Tang Mingyuan, being older, couldn't drink much, so Tang Guowei drank for him. Tang Guowei had quite a capacity, but still not enough compared to Wang Xiaoqiang. Although Wang Xiaoqiang had released all of his Spiritual Spring and dispersed his Cultivation Base, his Body Refining Cultivation was still intact. With his Undying Golden Body, he couldn't be killed, and naturally couldn't be defeated by alcohol. However, with this type of Wuliangye, which is sweet when entering the mouth but has a strong after-effect, coupled with Tang Guowei's reckless drinking,
by the end, Wang Xiaoqiang also drank half a bottle of Baijiu and two bottles of beer, becoming slightly intoxicated.
Little Bao drank a few cups for his father, his face red, Tang Shaoxuan and Little Sakura only drank beer. After Little Bao drank too much, he kept looking at Little Sakura, who glared back at him.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone left the table, Little Bao said to his father, "Dad, Little Sister Sakura seldom comes to town, I'll accompany her for a walk..."
Little Sakura shyly bowed her head, and softly said, "Uncle Wang, I didn't want a walk, it's Little Bao who wants to go."
Wang Xiaoqiang calmly said, "Let Shaoxuan accompany you both. Also, make sure to come home tonight."
Little Bao nodded, and the three walked out together.
"Little Qiang, like father, like son, your kid is something extraordinary! How did you raise him?" Seeing the three children walk out, Tang Mingyuan sincerely praised.
"I've always been away from home, and he's been with his mother. It's almost like growing wild. Actually, he is young but mature-minded, which isn't entirely a good thing." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I'm also worried he might do something wrong."
Tang Mingyuan laughed, "At his age, feelings are just budding, he may feel a hazy affection toward girls, but won't do anything outrageous, especially since you let Shaoxuan follow along, he definitely won't cause trouble. Haha..."
Little Bao's body hasn't fully matured; Wang Xiaoqiang worried about him losing his virginity too soon, which could harm his Innate Essence. Not only would this be detrimental to his health, but it would also make future Cultivation more difficult. Therefore, letting Tang Shaoxuan follow him serves as supervision, though he's still somewhat concerned. Doesn't he know his own son yet? This kid is much bolder than he used to be, what can't he do!?
After talking for a while, Wang Xiaoqiang got up to leave. Before departing, Tang Guowei, also slightly drunk, thumped his chest and assured him, "Don't worry about the case at all."
Wang Xiaoqiang initially didn't want Tang Mingyuan to know about it, but since Tang Guowei mentioned it, he didn't hide it further, saying, "If needed, you can summon me anytime, I'll be staying within the province for a while..."
"It's not a big deal, rest assured. Just do what you need to do..." Tang Guowei comforted.
Seeing the two talk like this, Tang Mingyuan knew there was an issue and asked Tang Guowei what was going on,
Tang Guowei explained the whole story, and Tang Mingyuan became furious, cursing Xu Dawei and Little Xu Xiaowa for daring to molest female workers in the factory, under the broad daylight, it was outrageous. Then he scolded Tang Guowei, as the Public Security Director of the county, when such an incident occurred in the county, he couldn't shirk his responsibility.
Then Tang Mingyuan solemnly instructed his son, "No matter what you do, make sure Little Qiang's liability is minimized..."
Tang Guowei dared not defy and nodded in agreement. Then he drove Wang Xiaoqiang back.
Wang Xiaoqiang asked Tang Guowei to drop him off at the White Stone Town Food Processing Factory. The car entered the factory, and when the workers saw the Public Security Director personally driving the chairman back, they were astonished. It seemed he got away scot-free after breaking someone, and with the Public Security Director driving him, indeed, the chairman was impressive!
Wang Xiaoqiang got out of the car, waved goodbye to Tang Guowei, and Tang Mingyuan drove away. Wang Xiaoqiang staggered toward the office building.
Once upstairs, he walked through the corridor towards the factory director's office but hadn't reached it when Wang Fang emerged from the deputy director's office, approached, and supported him, saying crossly, "How did you drink so much?"
Wang Xiaoqiang was actually not heavily drunk; he was merely pretending. In such situations, pretending to be drunk reduces awkwardness.
"Come to my office," Wang Fang said.
No sooner had she spoken, Zheng Shuang pushed the door open from the factory director's office and came out, supporting Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Oh dear, drunk like this, Wang Fang, you don't need to stay, go back to work."
"I'll help you get him inside," Wang Fang was unwilling to leave.
Zheng Shuang couldn't do anything about it, so the two women, one left and one right, steered Wang Xiaoqiang to Zheng Shuang's office and placed him on the sofa.
Seeing the two women together again, Wang Xiaoqiang continued to pretend as if he were inebriated.
Zheng Shuang said to Wang Fang, "Wang Fang, alright, it's fine, you can leave now."
Wang Fang didn't respond or leave, instead, she poured a glass of water and offered it to Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Here, have a sip."
Wang Xiaoqiang saw the two women competing again and felt quite helpless. Originally, he had seized the moment when Little Bao was not around to privately meet Zheng Shuang and Wang Fang, but now the two women encountered each other again, showing they had their own plans ahead. Now with both unwilling to yield, it became quite torturous for him.
Zheng Shuang's youthful liveliness and stylish, androgynous attire gave him a refreshing feeling, full of youthful energy and vitality, whereas Wang Fang leaned more towards charm. With Wang Xiaoqiang's rising desires, a tiny spear appeared within him. This spear was very small, but it possessed formidable power, like a flash of lightning — the Spear of the Desire God born of longing.
As desire continued to swell, this Spear of the Desire God would grow stronger, its power doubling.
As wild ambitions grew, the Spear of the Desire God would increase in power accordingly!
Now, with the flowers colliding together, Wang Xiaoqiang had the chance to act, but acting on both simultaneously was bound to be awkward.
Wang Xiaoqiang took a sip of water fed by Wang Fang, swallowed it, and closed his eyes, continuing to feign drunkenness.
"Alright, Wang Fang, it's fine here, you can leave," Zheng Shuang issued another eviction notice, her tone turning cold and her face becoming sullen.
Wang Fang feigned ignorance and said, "Ah? By the way, Factory Director Zheng, didn't you say you had to meet an important client this afternoon? If you're busy, go ahead, work is important, leave the chairman to me, you can rest assured..."
"What important client? I already postponed it," Zheng Shuang said, "The chairman just came back, I have many important things to report to him, you should go and work, it's nothing to do with you..."
"Well, as it happens, I also have important matters to report to the chairman, so let's wait together for him to wake up," Wang Fang earnestly persisted.
While work can be selflessly dedicated, love is always selfish, especially for women, who are inherently self-centered in matters of affection.
Wang Fang was adamant, adhering to the principle that if she couldn't have him, neither could Zheng Shuang, and thus competed fiercely.
Zheng Shuang realized Wang Fang wanted to compete with her. Too blunt words wouldn't be good, and she couldn't bring herself to lose face like that.
"Zheng Shuang..." Wang Xiaoqiang called out gently.
"Ah, Chairman, you called me..." Zheng Shuang leaned closer in response.
"Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled intriguingly, secretly squeezing Zheng Shuang's small hand, "You've managed the factory so well, I must reward you..."
Zheng Shuang suddenly got excited, knowing well Wang Xiaoqiang's words were ambiguous yet unable to treat them as ambiguous, pretending to be stern and said, "Chairman, you flattering me. It's part of my job."
"Wang Fang..." Wang Xiaoqiang gently grabbed Wang Fang's hand and squeezed it.
Wang Fang also felt excited and immediately moved closer, pretending to be serious and asked, "Chairman, you called me..."
"Wang Fang, as an employee from abroad, faithfully staying with the factory and working for us, I ought to thank you..."
Wang Fang wanted desperately to embrace Wang Xiaoqiang but couldn't because Zheng Shuang was there. She had to maintain a serious demeanor, saying earnestly, "Chairman, this is what I should do, rest assured, I, Wang Fang, am committed till the end, life or death within this factory, never returning to Japan."
The latter statement, while outwardly declaring loyalty, was truly expressing her feelings, indicating she belonged to Wang Xiaoqiang for life, never to love another.
"Hey, Wang Fang, what's the point of pledging loyalty now? The chairman is drunk, wait until he wakes up to pledge your loyalty." Zheng Shuang gave Wang Fang a glare, the two women who usually got along now faced breaking relations.
"If the chairman asks me to leave, I will," Wang Fang stubbornly said.
"Little Qiang, ask her to leave, you won't rest well if she stays," Zheng Shuang insisted.
Wang Xiaoqiang did not open his eyes and spoke indistinctly, "Where am I? Am I on a spinning top? Why is the world spinning?"
