Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

```

Cao Chuandong said, "The city leader mentioned he would think about it."

Someone else asked, "So, is he going to do it or not?"

Someone immediately retorted, "Isn't that obvious? Of course, he's going to do it."

Cao Chuandong nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm responsible for the employment of tens of thousands of people. If he doesn't help me, even he will be in deep trouble. I've already shut down the factory. Just watch, within five minutes, the city leader will definitely call me back and obediently do as I say, taking care of Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng."

"Brother Dong, you're amazing. That's the city leader you're talking about!"

"In Jiangcheng, only Brother Dong has the guts and the ability."

"Exactly, Brother Dong is the best. Let's all toast to Brother Dong."

"Right, we definitely should. To Brother Dong!"

"Cheers!"

The crowd flattered Cao Chuandong and toasted to him.

Just after they drank, Cao Chuandong's phone on the tabletop rang.

Everyone was stunned, their admiration for Cao Chuandong growing even stronger.

Cao Chuandong had just said that there would be a call within five minutes, and as the echo of his words lingered, the call arrived.

And looking at Cao Chuandong's phone screen, the caller ID showed it was indeed a call from the Jiangcheng city leader.

Brother Dong is truly formidable.

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Cao Chuandong answered the call, even turning on speakerphone.

He wanted to slap the face of this city leader and let everyone witness his own prowess!

As soon as the call connected, the authoritative voice of the city leader came through the phone: "Cao Chuandong, you've stopped work without authorization and even said you won't pay the workers' wages. This is a violation of the labor laws!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Chuandong let out a sneer, "Talking to me about labor law? I, Cao Chuandong, am not easily frightened. If you think I broke the law, then arrest me. I'd like to see how you solve the employment issue for those thousands of workers!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the city leader to say more and hung up the phone right away.

Such actions were simply astounding.

It was one thing to talk like that to the city leader, but to hang up on him too?

Indeed, Brother Dong is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Probably in Jiangcheng, only Brother Dong dares to do such things.

Then, Cao Chuandong pointed at his phone and said, "Watch, within five minutes, they will call back again, and they will have to do exactly as I say concerning Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng. Remember this, to deal with these kinds of people, you need to act like me. If you flatter them, they will disdain you. But if you don't indulge them, they will come running after you. Got it?"

"Brother Dong, you're awe-inspiring. We don't have your guts. If we did that, we'd be finished."

"Yeah, we're not your equals."

"Not just us, no boss in Jiangcheng can compare to you."

The crowd chimed in.

What they said was true; if they dared to speak to the city leader like Cao Chuandong, they'd be doomed.

Cao Chuandong nodded, feeling that the crowd made sense.

His being formidable didn't mean others were too.

Only someone as formidable as himself could dare to do such a thing.

If others dared to do the same, they'd surely be finished!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became even more heated, filled with clinking glasses.

However, five minutes passed quickly.

Cao Chuandong's phone on the table showed no signs of ringing.

The previously warm atmosphere gradually cooled down.

Without the call, everyone found themselves at a loss for words of flattery.

At that moment, Cao Chuandong felt extremely irritated.

The city leader was really getting too arrogant.

It was one thing to make him choose another private room and hang up on him.

But now, not calling back and fulfilling his demands?

Wasn't he afraid that it would leave thousands of people without jobs?

Another five minutes passed by, and still, the phone did not ring.

```

The once lively atmosphere completely cooled down.

Everyone stopped talking and just stared at the smartphone in front of Cao Chuandong; the private room became utterly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the scene turned eerily strange.

Cao Chuandong's face darkened completely.

He wondered if he should take initiative to call the city leader and give him a severe scolding to save face.

At that moment, the smartphone screen suddenly lit up.

A call came through!

Suddenly, the gloomy expression on Cao Chuandong's face disappeared, replaced with a smile.

The atmosphere that had cooled earlier now became lively again.

"Big Brother Dong is still Big Brother Dong!"

"Surely the city leader must have been busy with something important to call so late."

"Yeah, if someone from the provincial government called, the city leader would have to prioritize that."

"Exactly, otherwise he would've called back within five minutes."

"If it weren't important, he would've called back within a minute!"

The crowd started to flatter him again.

Even though the call was a bit late, it finally arrived.

This showed that Cao Chuandong was still formidable.

Cao Chuandong felt there was sense in what everyone was saying; the city leader must have been delayed.

If that was the case, he might as well forgive the city leader reluctantly.

However, he would still need to reprimand him later; he couldn't let the city leader grow too accustomed to this treatment.

Just as he was about to press the answer button, the smile on his face froze.

Only then did he clearly see that the caller was not the city leader, but his own assistant.

"What's my assistant calling for at this time?"

Cao Chuandong couldn't help frowning.

Nevertheless, he answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

Immediately, the assistant's voice came through the phone: "Mr. Cao, we have a problem—the Labor Bureau people have arrived. They say we either resume work or pay the workers their full wages. What should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Chuandong let out a cold laugh, "Hand the phone to the Labor Bureau people."

"Okay," the assistant complied.

The next second, a middle-aged man's voice came through: "I am the head of the Labor Bureau..."

Cao Chuandong immediately interrupted, "I don't care if you're the head or the tail of the bureau, I have just one thing to say: the company is mine, resuming work or not is my business, what's it to you? I just won't resume work, what can you do about it? And you also want me to pay wages? We're not working right now, why should I pay them?"

The head of the Labor Bureau was furious, his voice grave, "Cao Chuandong, whether to resume work or not is your business, but not paying wages is a violation of the labor law. Employees can resign on their own, and you also have to provide them with severance compensation!"

Cao Chuandong scoffed, "Severance compensation? Even if I could afford it, would they dare to take it? How much could it possibly be? It wouldn't even cover their children's monthly expenses at school, would it?"

The head of the Labor Bureau said, "If you do this..."

Before he could finish, Cao Chuandong barked, "Get lost!"

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

The crowd was once again astonished.

The Labor Bureau is an entity every entrepreneur should handle with care, yet Cao Chuandong told them to get lost—his arrogance knew no bounds.

The crowd's admiration for Cao Chuandong surged again, unstoppable as the endless river.

Cao Chuandong then pointed at his smartphone, "A head of the Labor Bureau, how is he qualified to speak to me? Right now, the only person qualified to talk to me must be the city leader. Just you watch, the city leader will call back shortly."

As his words ended, the smartphone screen lit up again.

The crowd's admiration flowed out once more, like the relentless floods of a river.

Just as they were about to sing praises, the words died in their throats upon seeing the caller ID.

Because the caller was still Cao Chuandong's assistant.

In an instant, Cao Chuandong felt extremely annoyed.

How could his assistant be so inconsiderate, not knowing he was waiting for the city leader's call?
