Chapter 105: Chapter 105: True Feelings Revealed
"Because I'm a local and understand the rural areas very well, it’s hard to raise the farmers’ enthusiasm without
absolute confidence especially since the cycle is too long, with planting one year and harvesting the next. Many
people lack confidence, but this direction is definitely right. Moreover, planting on a smaller scale will present a
big problem for future harvests. So, after this research trip to Fengtai Village, I'd like you to visit our Victory
Village Team 2 to see if it’s suitable for planting. | can collaborate with several farmers from our village to plant
on a large scale, at least one hundred acres. This way, the future harvests can also be secured."
Lin Fan’s words brought a hint of surprise to Zhu Dan’s beautiful eyes, "Of course that’s not a problem, it’s
settled then. | will report to the institute, and when the tcomes, | will ensure that you get even greater
support. Furthermore, | can guarantee to visit the countryside every two months to provide technical support to
the farmers."
"Then it's settled."
Lin Fan gazed at Zhu Dan’s beautiful oval face. Her delicate features exuded a sense of national peace and
propriety. Perhaps because she often worked in the fields, her skin had an added layer of wheat color. Her dark
floral dress, although completely concealing her figure and not revealing her slim waist and legs, could not hide
her delicate features, which mustn't be much less attractive especially considering the curve of her chest; that

Plus, her impressive height made her a rare Northern beauty. Holding her would certainly be very comfortable.
"I always say, Mayor Lin is young and promising, now you can rest assured. With him around, | guarantee your
research achievements will be greatly enhanced. And once the project officially starts and sees profits, there
won't be any more problems."
Watching his daughter's joyous smile, Zhu Defu also smiled broadly.
"So, for this first toast, I'll drink to Uncle Zhu. First off, | want to thank you for the honor of knowing you, and then
for raising such an excellent daughter, who's truly contributed to the farmers. As a child from the countryside,
I'm acutely aware of the hardships faced by our parents’ generation. If we could double every farmer's income,
that would be the greatest achievement."
With a glass in hand, Lin Fan spoke passionately, his sincere speech bringing a glow to Zhu Dan's eyes. And Zhu
Defu, being dotingly proud of his daughter, was delighted to see her smile—far happier than if he were smiling
himself.
"Let's drink to that, today the two of us must have a good drink."
Zhu Defu looked at Lin Fan with a sense of gratification, a warmth that could be hotter than seeing a son-in-law.
Meanwhile, Li Libo felt increasingly irritated; after all, his wife seemed to be on equal footing with Lin Fan,
chatting so congenially, much more warmly than towards himself.
Thinking of this made him burn with jealousy. Grabbing a glass, he stood up, "Since Mayor Lin is so supportive of
my wife's work, as her husband, | must show sgesture of appreciation. This toast, I drink to you."
Such a declaration of sovereignty didn’t escape Lin Fan who, with a light smile, also stood up, "Alright, I'll drink
to that, and you do as you please!"
With Lin Fan tilting his head back, a few ounces of white liquor vanished into his stomach, leaving Li Bo
momentarily dumbfounded. In front of everyone, he couldn't refuse to drink, so, gritting his teeth, he downed the
liquor.
"Brother-in-law, there's a custom in drinking: one good turn deserves another. You've toasted me, so let me
return the favor."
Before Li Bo could even put down his glass, Lin Fan already chuckled as he grabbed the bottle, poured him a full
glass, and in one tilt of his head, the beverage disappeared in an instant. Li Bo’s face was now hot red. Glancing
at Zhu Defu, who remained silent, he clenched his teeth and forced the drink down, but before he could finish,
he dashed out of the private room towards the restroom.

"I told you not to drink, why must you show off when you can’t hold your liquor!"
In the restaurant’s restroom, Zhu Dan looked on with a cold face as Li Bo kneed before the toilet. After two
glasses of white liquor, Lin Fan was unfazed, but Li Bo was already drunk, vomiting tumultuously. Zhu Dan could
only stand with her arms crossed, watching him coldly.
"I know... your family looks down on me... your dad looks down on me... to you officials... you don’t understand
art... I'm a man aspiring to be an artist... and will be famous across the land someday..."
Li Bo, driven by the alcohol, leaned against the restroom door, shouting and yelling.
He understood Zhu Defu’s attitude all too well, and now, drunk, he shed all pretenses, ceaselessly howling.
"Artist my ass, even with your paintings, you won't be famous in this life, let alone the next. Why is it so hard for
you to just work diligently?"
Zhu Dan rolled her eyes. Li Bo had changed starkly after their marriage, he quit a secure job to pursue so-called
artistic creation. His childish art was indescribable, yet he spent his days in a circle of mutual flattery, feeling
unrecognized for his talents.
"Zhu Dan... you can insult me... but don’t insult my art... it’s my soul, the ultimate expression of humanity... you
don’t understand, nor do your parents... you're all people consumed with materialism... insulting my art..."
Li Bo, completely uninhibited, continued, "I've asked you for so long... your family is so rich... why not just give
know... where your family’s money comes from..."
