Chapter 57: Things That Can Be Done, and Things That Should Not Be Done
Inside the private room, the atmosphere instantly turned eerie.
Looking at Lin Fan who had just walked in, Director Xu, who had just been all bragging, suddenly deflated like a punctured ball. He had never expected to get slapped in the face by his own big talk since he indeed knew Lin Fan, but far from being buddies, he didn’t even qualify to dine at the same table.
Just a couple of days ago, when Lin Fan was dining with people from the education bureau, Director Xu, who appeared very authoritative in front of others, was merely the driver waiting downstairs. After everyone had enough food and drinks, as he drove them to a bath center, he did a brief introduction of himself.
"Mayor Lin, why are you here?"
The arrival of Lin Fan was like a heavy blow to Director Xu, who became visibly panicked and hurriedly bent his straightened back.
"If I hadn’t come, how would I know that someone was using my name to swindle? I haven’t even officially taken office, yet you’re pulling me into such a big favor. I can’t afford to owe this."
As Lin Fan spoke, he directly placed his mobile phone on the table: "You want to sleep with someone’s wife, and yet you charge it to my account. You’ve really calculated well. Fortunately, I’ve recorded everything. I’ll send it to your Director Zheng in a moment and let him judge for himself. Is there no justice?"
"No, no, no... Mayor Lin...I was wrong!"
The weight of those words was something Director Xu understood all too well. Once the words he just said spread, he would be finished. He knelt down on the ground with a pale face, pleading ceaselessly, "Mayor Lin, I just drank too much earlier. Please, forget the foolish acts of a lesser man, just let me off this one time. I truly was wrong... I won’t dare again... I still have parents to take care of, and a child in primary school. Please have mercy on me."
"How can I pity you when no one pities me?"
