Although the current crisis has been resolved, with Vice Mayor Zhang's vengeful nature, he will eventually retaliate against Lin Hao.
Lin Hao understands this better than anyone else.
Su Dingfang could also see this, and said solemnly, "This Vice Mayor Zhang will definitely hold a grudge against you. Even if he doesn't act now, he'll deal with you when he gets the chance in the future."
"Dad, don't worry, I'll be careful." Lin Hao responded dismissively.
"Co on, let's go have a drink." Su Dingfang was in high spirits.
After all, when he heard that Vice Mayor Zhang wanted to deal with Lin Hao, he was quite shocked and worried about implicating the Su Family. Unexpectedly, Lin Hao managed to handle Mayor Zhang.
Now that the matter had co to a close, even if Zhang Yonghong wanted revenge, he would certainly only target Lin Hao, which was a relief for him.
Just as the two of them sat down for dinner, Peng Yunyan started to berate Lin Hao again, going on and on.
"Lin Hao, you're such a jinx! You're always making things worse. Do you really think you can afford to offend Mayor Zhang? You're just a small-ti director. He could crush you with just a flick of his finger!"
Su Dingfang quickly interjected, "Wife, the issue with Mayor Zhang has been resolved. Don't bring it up with Lin Hao anymore."
"Resolved? How was it resolved? Do you think simply admitting a mistake is enough?" Peng Yunyan asked coldly.
"He said he'd drop the matter." Su Dingfang replied.
"Zhang Yonghong is ruthless. Just because he says he'll drop it doesn't an he really will. I think he's biding his ti and will co after us eventually. This ti, we've suffered badly because of Lin Hao!" Peng Yunyan said coldly.
Su Dingfang and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, admitting that she might have a point. After all, last night, Lin Hao brought him much embarrassnt. If he couldn't regain his dignity, how could he continue as a leader?
Moreover, with so many witnesses, as the saying goes, walls have ears.
If others spread this story, Zhang Yonghong will certainly hold Lin Hao accountable.
However, if Lin Hao were to expose Zhang Yonghong, it seems inappropriate since he just reached an agreent with Zhang Yonghong. It would be a breach of that agreent.
"Lin Hao, it's important not to be harmful, but we must be cautious. Your Aunt Yun isn't entirely wrong; we should be on guard!" Su Dingfang appeared grave.
Lin Hao nodded slightly and responded, "Dad, don't worry. Even if Zhang Yonghong wants to target us, he'll co after first. I'll be cautious."
"You can't be blad entirely for what happened yesterday. Under those circumstances, you couldn't possibly abandon your superior. You should discuss this matter with Secretary Li. Even though Zhang Yonghong is the Vice Mayor, he can't cover the sky with one hand!" Su Dingfang instructed solemnly.
"I know what to do." Lin Hao replied.
"Husband, you're too lenient. This guy has brought so much trouble to our family; I think they should just get a divorce." Peng Yunyan interjected.
"You're talking about sothing as major as a marriage as if it can end just with a word? You're a woman, stop making a fuss!" Su Dingfang said with a stern face.
"I'm just thinking about our family's well-being. What if soday he plunges us into a catastrophic hole? It'll be the end for the Su Family." Peng Yunyan muttered.
Su Dingfang frowned, glanced at Lin Hao, and said, "In the world of officials, choosing the right side is crucial. Now that you're on the sa boat as Secretary Li, as long as her ship doesn't capsize, you'll be safe."
"I understand." Lin Hao nodded slightly.
"Husband, why are you still letting Lin Hao ddle with that female secretary?" Peng Yunyan imdiately jumped out.
"Secretary Li is Lin Hao's direct supervisor. Their work interactions are normal—what's there to be worked up about? Don't spread rumors in front of Mu Yun in the future." Su Dingfang said sternly.
"What do you an I'm spreading rumors? There's no smoke without fire. This matter wouldn't have surfaced without reason." Peng Yunyan argued, recalling what Luo Zhijun had told her.
Because Luo Zhijun was absolutely certain that Lin Hao and Li Jingyi had an indescribable relationship and even said it happened at the New Century Hotel.
Although there's no direct evidence now, since it's been described so vividly, it's unlikely made up without any basis.
"Alright, don't say any more. Politics is complicated nowadays. Ever since Secretary Li ca to Wucheng County, I've sensed undercurrents surging. It's clear soone wants to target Secretary Li. Creating rumors is also normal. You, as a woman, must keep your mouth shut. If you speak wrongly, it might bring disaster to the Su Family. Do you understand?" Su Dingfang warned sternly.
Lin Hao felt his heart twist, realizing that Su Dingfang was quite perceptive and picked up on the key issue swiftly.
Peng Yunyan was taken aback by the ntion of disaster, didn't dare to continue, and said reluctantly, "My mouth is very tight; I won't go out blabbing."
In fact, she didn't grasp the main issue. The key point is that soone's targeting Secretary Li.
Lin Hao naturally wouldn't dwell on these minor issues, nor dare ask openly in front of Peng Yunyan who exactly was targeting Secretary Li.
"Co on, let's drink!" Su Dingfang raised his glass.
"Dad, just take it easy. Your health is important." Lin Hao lifted his glass, advising kindly.
"Don't worry. I know my health well enough." Su Dingfang said and took a big sip.
Seeing him drink so much, Lin Hao could only down his drink in one go.
"izhu, co and join us for the al too." Su Dingfang looked over at Peng izhu, who was erging from the kitchen.
"Yes, after all, there are no outsiders here." Peng Yunyan also invited.
Peng izhu, being the Su Family's housemaid, was mainly responsible for grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning, although the cleaning was done by professional janitors.
Thus, her daily tasks were buying groceries, cooking, and doing small chores, making her job relatively easy.
This Peng izhu was Peng Yunyan's cousin, making her Su Dingfang's sister-in-law, and by relation, Lin Hao's aunt.
This aunt, thirty years old, couldn't compare to Peng Yunyan in looks, but she had a voluptuous figure with a mature charm of a young woman, perfectly aligning with Su Dingfang's aesthetic.
"It's the weekend today, izhu, have a little red wine with us to get in the mood!" Su Dingfang said with a smile.
"Sure, I'll have a few drinks with brother-in-law." Peng izhu readily sat down.
She untied her apron and tossed it aside, revealing a low-cut dress underneath. The neckline was low, tightly wrapping the softness in front, showcasing a deep cleavage, looking proud and imposing.
The long wavy hair, airy and light, her skin fairer than snow, her brows exuding a mature sensuality that made Su Dingfang's eyes brighten instantly.
