Li Rui didn't know where Wu Nan was going to take him for a drink, but since he was here with her, he decided to follow her lead. She could take him wherever she wanted. After all, he had nothing to do when he got back.
After driving for about five kilometers, Wu Nan drove away from the intercity expressway and turned onto an exceptionally quiet asphalt road. She turned and drove north. She seemed to be worried that Li Rui was getting impatient, so she reminded him, "We're almost there!" Li Rui said, "Don't worry. Drive slowly. Be careful. It's a pity that I don't know the way. Otherwise, I would drive for you. " Wu Nan looked at him with a smile and said, "You can drive for me when I visit Qingyang again." What she meant was that they were in her territory now. As the host, she was duty-bound to drive.
After driving for about four kilometers, Wu Nan turned onto a narrower country road. But this time, after driving for about a mile, a huge, brightly lit manor appeared in front of them. When Wu Nan drove into the manor, Li Rui found that the manor was actually built on a hill with a gentle slope. The road inside the manor was a winding mountain road. There were strange stones and trees on both sides of the road, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Wu Nan drove the car to a three-story stone building on the mountainside. She stopped and asked Li Rui to get out of the car. After getting out of the car, she took out two black license plate covers from somewhere. She walked to the front of the car and squatted down to put them on the license plates.
Li Rui guessed that she was afraid that someone would recognize her car and find out her whereabouts. Of course, the whereabouts of ordinary people were nothing, but for a mayor, the whereabouts of her whereabouts were a major issue. If someone found out, it would have a very bad influence.
"Give it to me. I'll do it!"
Li Rui snatched the two license plates from Wu Nan's hands, squatted on the ground, and nimbly put them on the license plates. Then, he got up and went to the back of the car to put on the license plates as well.
By this time, Wu Nan had already arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard where the Flower Stone Building was located. Seeing that he had finished his disguise, he waved at him. By the time Li Rui walked over, the courtyard door had already been opened by her. There was no sound of the door being unlocked, so it was probably an electronic door.
The two of them entered the dark and secluded courtyard one after the other. Wu Nan stayed behind and closed the courtyard door. He then led Li Rui along a cobblestone path to the front of the Flower Stone Building. He held a glittering golden card in his right hand and placed it near the door handle. With a "zi zi zi" sound of an electronic switch, the door opened. Wu Nan walked in first and placed the card in the card slot on the wall to the right of the door. The building suddenly flashed, and all the lights on the first floor were lit.
At first, Li Rui thought that this was Wu Nan's villa in the suburbs. When he saw this scene, he realized that the Flower Stone Building was not her house at all. It was purposely built to look like a villa's guest room, just like a guest room in a five-star hotel. Of course, this manor built on a mountain in the suburbs was definitely not a hotel. A hotel would never be built in such a remote and quiet place. It was very likely that it was a luxurious entertainment venue like a high-end private club.
As expected, Wu Nan quickly introduced, "This is the top business club in the Eastern State. It's high-end, unique, elegant, and tranquil … Most importantly, it's very private. Because of my work, I got to know the owner of this club, and he gave me an anonymous membership card. I've been here once before, and I really like the environment and the feeling here. I just wanted to drink with you, so I brought you here. What do you think? Do you like it? "
Li Rui looked at the bright and thick handmade velvet carpet on the floor of the hallway, the resplendent European-style wallpaper on the walls, and the luxurious crystal chandelier in the living room that could be seen from afar. His eyes were in a daze. It was an eye-opener, and his mood suddenly relaxed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I like it. I like it very much."
Wu Nan smiled and said, "Come, let me show you around the building first."
The Flower Stone Building had three floors. After entering the door on the first floor, there was a narrow hallway, and after exiting the hallway, there was a living room. The living room had a corridor that led to the bedroom, the dining room, and the bathroom. Next to the dining room was a spiral staircase that led to the second floor. On the second floor, there was an entertainment room, a small KTV, and between the two was a small bar with a bar counter. On the third floor, there were two living rooms, a bathroom, a study, and an open-air terrace. At the very top, there was a loft that could be used to live in and enjoy the view.
Wu Nan took Li Rui for a tour from the first floor to the second floor. Li Rui once again opened his eyes. For the first time, he realized that this kind of detached villa could be designed in this way. After they finished touring, a thought popped up in his mind, "How nice would it be if this three-story building was my own?"
The two of them went to the small bar on the second floor. Wu Nan pointed at the liquor cabinet that was full of liquor and asked him, "What do you want to drink?" Li Rui didn't know much about drinking. When he saw that the liquor in the cabinet was either red wine or imported wine, he said, "I'll go with you. I'll drink whatever you drink." Wu Nan pursed his lips and smiled, "How about some whiskey? Red wine is boring. "Li Rui said," Okay, you tell me what to get and I'll get it. "
A few minutes later, there was a glass of orange whiskey on the bar counter in front of each of them.
Wu Nan asked again, "Do you want ice?" Li Rui said, "I'll take whatever you want."
Wu Nan smiled again. She walked to the front of a pocket-sized refrigerator in the bar, opened the door, and took out an exquisite ice bucket full of ice cubes.
Li Rui saw this and was secretly shocked. He thought to himself that this club was indeed the best business club in the Eastern State. Not only were there all kinds of famous wines in the wine cabinet, but they could also provide fresh ice at any time. Just this point alone must have cost a lot of money and manpower. Hiss … there was nothing that couldn't be done, only things that couldn't be done.
Wu Nan came back with the ice bucket. He used a pair of tongs to pick up a few pieces of ice and put them into the two men's glasses. Then he said to Li Rui, "Take the wine and the ice bucket. We'll go to the KTV to drink. We'll listen to music and chat while drinking, okay?" Li Rui readily agreed, "Of course, let's go."
The two of them took their glasses and glasses and walked into the KTV one after the other. Wu Nan turned on the lights, turned on the DVD, and put on the pop music at a volume that was not too loud. Then she walked back to the door, took off her coat, and put it on the hanger by the door. Then she walked to the sofa and sat down. When Li Rui saw her take off her coat, he realized that the temperature in the room was a little high. He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
"The whiskey is a little strong. I won't drink with you. Let's drink slowly."
When Li Rui walked back to the sofa, Wu Nan raised her glass and said.
Li Rui smiled and nodded. He sat down and clinked glasses with her. After clinking glasses, he only took a small sip. Wu Nan, on the other hand, took a big sip. When Li Rui saw that she drank more, he wondered if he should drink with her. However, he saw her taste the sweet taste of the whiskey and drink two more mouthfuls. After this big gulp, her glass was almost empty. There was only ice and a small amount of whiskey left.
Li Rui was shocked and hurriedly said, "Didn't we agree to drink slowly? Why did you finish it so quickly?" Wu Nan smiled gently at him and said, "I was very happy that you were with me tonight. I couldn't help but want to let loose. Don't worry about me. You can drink slowly. "As she spoke, she took the bottle and refilled her glass.
Li Rui stared at her for a long time and asked tentatively, "You're not happy at all. You're in a bad mood?" Wu Nan was shocked when he exposed her. She looked at him for a while and helplessly nodded. Li Rui asked again, "Is it because of your family or because of work?" Wu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Both." Li Rui said earnestly, "If you have any troubles, you can tell me. However, don't drown your sorrows with alcohol. That's not good for your health. Your health isn't very good to begin with …" Wu Nan nodded and said, "Regarding my family, I told you at the cultural park just now. My marriage is very unhappy. For the past ten years, I've been living harder than if I were living alone. As for my work, firstly, there's a lot of pressure. Secondly, as you saw this afternoon, many people don't take me seriously as a mayor." Li Rui asked, "How long have you been the mayor?" Wu Nan said, "Just a little over half a year."
Li Ruixin's eyebrows twitched. According to this period of time, she had been the mayor of the Eastern State and her boss had arrived in Qingyang City around the same time. He asked again, "A little over half a year should be enough for a mayor to gain a firm foothold. However, judging from Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Yulin's attitude towards you this afternoon, it seems like you haven't gained a firm foothold yet." Wu Nan nodded with a pained expression and said, "Not only have I not gained a firm foothold, I'm about to be pushed down by others. Xiao Rui, you don't know how hard it is for me to be the mayor of the government. Not only do I have to be oppressed by that person from the Municipal Party Committee, but even in my territory, the Municipal Government, there are still people who are unhappy with me. They're constantly trying to trip me up and stab me in the back. Don't think that I'm doing well on the surface. In reality, I'm just trying my best not to fall. However, I don't think I can hold on for much longer. Sooner or later, I'll be crushed by these two forces. The reason why I asked you to come to the Eastern State to help me today is because I really need help. "
As she said this, she became even more upset. She raised her wine glass and handed it to him.
