Chapter 182 - I will Give You Something to Drink
The man dispatched from the capital's main branch fled in a panic, having uncovered nothing.
Muttering to himself in the car, he vowed:
“I'll never touch alcohol again!”
“I've fallen ill from drinking!”
Su Ming was oblivious to this episode.
With ample funds at his disposal, Su Ming contemplated purchasing the adjacent building.
He clutched a map in his hands.
The plot in the city center was sizable. Should Su Ming acquire all the nearby real estate, he could potentially transform it into a farm!
He envisioned cultivating flowers and greenery, raising livestock, and creating a home for himself.
Such a life seemed idyllic.
Yet, he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about these matters.
No matter, he had an ideal person in mind.
Wang Guohui had previously gifted Su Ming a skyscraper, indicating his extensive familiarity with the local buildings.
With this in mind, Su Ming dialed Wang Guohui's number.
“Mr. Su!”
The phone crackled with Wang Guohui's voice, brimming with astonishment, “You're calling me yourself…”
Feeling a bit awkward, Su Ming said, “I need to ask you something.”
“Absolutely, Mr. Su. Just hold on, I'm on my way to meet you,” Wang Guohui replied.
Su Ming gripped his phone, wondering what Wang Guohui was up to.
“Mr. Su, please wait for me!”
With that, Wang Guohui ended the call. Su Ming wasn't concerned; it was preferable to have Wang Guohui come to him for a more thorough discussion.
Wang Guohui arrived in under ten minutes.
Seeing him, Su Ming couldn't help but chuckle.
Wang Guohui was dressed in a suit jacket but sported pajama bottoms and slippers below.
His slippers bore the emblem of the White Cloud Club.
Clearly, Wang Guohui had been enjoying himself at the White Cloud Club.
Catching Su Ming's amused look, Wang Guohui glanced down and instantly felt embarrassed.
He had forgotten to change.
The news of Mr. Su needing him had sent him into such a flurry of excitement that he had slipped up.
“Mr. Su, what can I do for you?”
Wang Guohui approached Su Ming, eager to assist.
“I'm interested in purchasing several properties in the area. Could you offer some advice? I'm looking to acquire all the buildings around here…”
Wang Guohui was taken aback by Su Ming's ambition.
“Mr. Su, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you're aware of how costly downtown real estate is. The property I secured for you was only available because the owner was bankrupt and in dire need of cash. I've inquired about the other properties, but no one seems willing to sell…”
Su Ming nodded. “Let's do this: arrange a meeting with the other property owners for me. I'd like to have a chat with them to see if they might consider selling their land to me.”
“Absolutely, no problem at all.”
Wang Guohui nodded. “Mr. Su, may I inquire about your reasons for buying the land?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Guohui regretted them, wishing he could give himself a slap.
There was no need to question Mr. Su's motives for purchasing land.
Clearly, Mr. Su intended to use it for farming!
“The plots I have are too small. I'm looking to buy more land to expand my crop cultivation.”
“Understood!”
Wang Guohui quickly concurred.
He decided not to probe further into why Mr. Su wasn't purchasing farmland in the suburbs.
Mr. Su was a tycoon.
Why would he farm on the outskirts?
“I won't take up any more of your time. This isn't an urgent matter, so just inquire when you're free.”
Su Ming gave a knowing smile.
Wang Guohui's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Truthfully, he wasn't ashamed of the massage at the White Cloud Club.
Yet, for some reason, he felt he had made a misstep in Mr. Su's presence.
He was overcome with a sense of guilt.
Suddenly, Su Ming remembered something and returned to the villa.
He picked up a cup.
It contained the oddly colored coconut juice, with the remnants of President Chen's lipstick still visible.
Su Ming had thought about discarding the coconut juice, but that seemed wasteful.
Someone promptly volunteered to come forward.
Unaware of the actual situation, Wang Guohui felt a surge of excitement when he saw Su Ming holding a cup of water.
Could this be the discovery of another treasure?
“Drink this—it's the good stuff.”
Su Ming, with a look of revulsion, passed the cup to Wang Guohui.
“Alright!”
Wang Guohui missed the look of disgust. Without a word, he took the cup and downed a few sips.
He'd used the items Mr. Su had given him on several occasions!
Each one was a rare gem of the highest quality!
Despite the coconut juice's resemblance to poison…
But given his past experience with the Body-stretching Pill, he had no doubts about Mr. Su's offerings.
Maybe the more something from Mr. Su resembled poison, the higher its quality.
He watched as Wang Guohui finished it in one go.
Su Ming involuntarily shut his eyes.
Don't ask why.
He felt slightly nauseous.
“It smells amazing!”
After finishing, Wang Guohui even licked his lips, echoing President Chen's words.
“Enough, I feel like I'm going to throw up!”
Su Ming kept the words to himself, merely thinking them.
“Mr. Su, may I ask what this is for?”
Wang Guohui blinked before posing the question.
“It's to boost your alcohol tolerance. Drink this, and you won't get drunk no matter how much you imbibe.”
“Is that so?”
Wang Guohui was ecstatic.
As a boss who frequently needed to drink with clients during negotiations, this was a godsend.
Age had taken its toll, and his body wasn't as resilient as it once was. Even with Su Ming's Body-stretching Pill, his tolerance hadn't improved much.
He never imagined he'd come across such a treasure!
“Thank you so much, Mr. Su!”
Wang Guohui was on the verge of tears, filled with immense gratitude.
By Mr. Su's side, he could maintain not just the vigor of a man but an unbeatable tolerance for alcohol.
How could he ever repay Mr. Su?
Wang Guohui was resolute. He would excel at any task Mr. Su assigned him.
“You may go back now.”
“Yes!”
Wang Guohui left, buoyant with anticipation.
He was eager to show off his newfound virility!
Once Wang Guohui was out of sight, Su Ming stood up, his attention turning to the thriving strawberry plants.
The chickens and pigs within the breeding zone were thriving in health.
He even supplemented their diet with extra feed.
Afterward, Su Ming returned upstairs.
In his usual routine, he dove into mobile gaming and enlisted the aid of two allies to join his in-game battles.
But ever since Su Ming had taken the Body-stretching Pill, his reflexes and awareness had sharpened dramatically!
In the past, achieving master-level play demanded considerable effort from him. Now, he navigated the game with the ease of a fish gliding through water.
He used to seek assistance to climb the game's ranks, but these days, he sought companionship in his virtual quests to avoid the solitude of solo play.
And don't bother asking why he didn't seek a female companion.
Should the question arise, he'd simply say he's a man of uncomplicated tastes.
