Guo Baoming's toast contained a hidden message that made Lin Fan hastily stand up, "All of you are elders, and I am too young. If there's anything I do that isn't quite right, I hope that in the future you will guide and tolerate this junior of yours."
After a few drinks, everyone was chatting and laughing merrily, especially Dean Liu who, along with his wife, went from person to person offering toasts; his heavy drinking soon left him staggering.
"Dean Liu has had too much to drink, Lin Fan, help me send him off."
Guo Baoming spoke, and Lin Fan quickly got up, familiar with the task, and hurriedly supported Dean Liu to leave the private room. But just as they reached the front door, the previously staggering Dean Liu suddenly perked up, smiled at Lin Fan, and said, "Mayor Lin, please stay."
"Are you really all right?"
Lin Fan looked at Dean Liu, puzzled, and most importantly, the wife that had been with him was nowhere to be seen.
