Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Hearing Liu Ergou's refusal, Fu Yan persisted.

"It's fine, Er Gou, you should wear it. Don't be so formal with me; make yourself at home here!"

After saying that, Fu Yan turned to the elegantly dressed Zhang Yuehong.

"Yuehong, go get my suit and have Er Gou change into it."

Zhang Yuehong said nothing and turned to walk toward the bedroom. Seeing this, Liu Ergou hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"There's no need. I really don't need to wear a suit!"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Yuehong made no move to get the suit and simply stood there quietly. The next moment, Liu Ergou began to explain.

"Uncle Fu, I don't think wearing a suit is useful. First, I'm not a part of your political circle. Second, a suit really doesn't fit my style, and it feels restrictive."

"The third and most important point comes from an old saying: 'A mountain needn't be high; its spirit comes from the immortal within. Water needn't be deep; its power comes from the dragon within.'"

He had made his point quite clearly. Fu Yan naturally understood what Liu Ergou meant and gave him a look of admiration. Liu Ergou took this opportunity to get into the car.

After Liu Ergou was inside, the sedan started and drove off. After some time, it pulled up in front of a hotel.

Getting out of the car, Liu Ergou looked at the hotel and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

What a coincidence. He had been to this hotel several times before, but always with Lu Shuangyue. He had never come here on his own.

Just then, Fu Yan came to his side.

"Er Gou, it's just a hotel, nothing to be impressed by. When you get the chance to visit bigger cities in the future, you'll see hotels like this everywhere! There's nothing rare about them!"

"But let me tell you, if you seize the opportunities at this gathering, you could ascend to the heavens in a single step."

Hearing Fu Yan's words, Liu Ergou said nothing, simply nodding with a smile before the group headed into the hotel. They stepped into an elevator, and Fu Yan pressed the button for the top floor.

While the three of them were riding the elevator, Fu Yan suddenly coughed. He adjusted his suit, and his gentle expression vanished. In just a few moments, an air of authority radiated from him. This change left Liu Ergou dumbfounded.

So this is what it means to be the mayor. Just look at that. It would probably take me half a lifetime to learn a skill like that.

At that moment, the elevator chimed.

DING.

The doors slowly slid open. The instant they did, countless eyes converged on them, all staring straight in their direction. The previously boisterous room fell silent.

After about ten seconds, the people in the room finally reacted and began to offer hurried greetings.

"Well, if it isn't the Mayor! What an honor to have you here!"

As they spoke, many raised their glasses to toast Fu Yan. Unflustered by the scene, Fu Yan calmly took a glass from a waiter and began to exchange pleasantries over drinks.

Attending such a large gathering for the first time, Liu Ergou was initially unsure of what to do. After a moment's thought, he and Fu Ya found a corner and started on the buffet. Liu Ergou ate with gusto, polishing off half a steak in one go and swallowing meatballs whole. Fu Ya sat quietly nearby, observing everyone in the room. As for the ever-inconspicuous Zhang Yuehong, she simply stood beside Liu Ergou in silence, as still as a wooden doll.

Meanwhile, Fu Yan was drinking and chatting, but eventually, the conversation turned to Liu Ergou. Fu Yan immediately thought of him and hastily gestured for him to come over.

"Er Gou, come here for a second!"

Liu Ergou, who was in the middle of eating steak, heard Fu Yan and didn't hesitate. He swallowed the food in his mouth and quickly made his way to Fu Yan's side.

Seeing Liu Ergou approach, Fu Ya gently patted his shoulder and pointed around the room. "This might be your first time at this kind of gathering, Er Gou," she said. "I know you might not understand, so let me explain. The bosses of the town's transportation companies and various chairmen are all here. In short, every important figure has gathered in this room! You should chat with them. If you say the right thing, you might just ascend to the heavens in a single step!"

Liu Ergou nodded but said nothing.

Ascend to the heavens in a single step? What a joke! How could that be so easy? Besides, I'm just an ordinary person. How could I possibly achieve something like that?

Just as Liu Ergou was about to say something more, Fu Yan gently patted his shoulder, signaling that he could go and mingle. He then turned back to the others, continuing to make small talk about trivial matters. After this, Liu Ergou decided to head back to find Fu Ya.

However, before he could take a step, a melodious voice suddenly came from the buffet area. Although the voice was pleasant, it was tinged with an icy coldness.

"Hey! You there!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Ergou instinctively looked up in its direction. He saw a woman calling out to him. She looked to be around forty, was impeccably maintained, and possessed an exceptionally elegant and distinguished aura. At first, Liu Ergou paid the shout no mind.

She's probably calling someone else. What does it have to do with me?

Just as he was about to leave, the woman called out again.

"Where do you think you're going? I'm talking to you!"

"Hurry up and bring that stool over here! Do you hear me?"

Only then did Liu Ergou realize the woman was speaking to him. He looked up and saw her standing there, holding a small fork. After spearing a piece of cake, she gently placed it in her mouth, all while looking at him with an expression of utter disdain. This thoroughly annoyed Liu Ergou.

Is this how you ask someone for help? Can't she speak politely?

Not wanting to cause trouble, Liu Ergou decided to simply avoid the woman and go somewhere else. But to his surprise, she was relentless and had no intention of letting him go.

"Hey, you big oaf over there! Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
