Chapter 553: Chapter 552: Inviting You All to Drink Wine

"It’s Mayor Wei!" Peter Brown hurriedly greeted Eleanor Smith as he approached her.

Eleanor Smith clearly hadn’t slept well, her eyes were slightly blue, and she laughed, "Mayor Wang, you’re really something! No one in the township could out-drink you. I thought you’d be drunk too, but you’re up early!"

"I just arrived in a new place, so I need to get to know the situation. I don’t know anything right now."

While talking, Eleanor Smith glanced at Lucy Brown and said, "Lucy, go to the Sanitary Institute and check on the situation. I heard that some people needed fluid replacement treatment last night."

After watching Lucy Brown leave, Eleanor Smith sat down and said, "Shall we sit down and chat?"

Peter Brown could tell that Eleanor Smith wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

Seeing that Peter Brown had also sat down, Eleanor Smith said, "Old Timber Township is different from other places. It borders three provinces, the local customs emphasize martial prowess, and the difficulties in maintaining public order and security are significant."

Peter Brown nodded slightly, "I had heard about that before coming."

With a serious expression, Eleanor Smith continued, "Our Township Secretary Mr. Hill is a local cadre and is very familiar with the local situation." She looked meaningfully at Peter Brown as she said this.

At first, Peter Brown didn’t understand, but after a moment, he grasped the purpose of Eleanor Smith’s words.

Eleanor Smith pointed out that Alexander Lee was a local unto this place, familiar with it, and that the actual meaning was that Alexander Lee had strong connections and significant influence in the township. It would be difficult for an outlander like Peter Brown to develop here. Eleanor Smith, as an outland cadre herself, believed that they must unite with each other in such a situation.

This woman!

Peter Brown found her somewhat speechless and convoluted.

However, Peter Brown came to the township for cultivation, not to align with any faction. He wouldn’t accept Eleanor Smith’s proposal and pretended not to understand, sincerely saying, "That’s great. With Mr. Hill, such a familiar leader steering us, our work will be much easier."

Eleanor Smith looked at Peter Brown, then changed the subject, "Mr. Hill also got drunk yesterday, he’s known as a Wine Immortal. Now this title has been shattered by you, haha."

Peter Brown knew what Eleanor Smith was thinking, and now he didn’t want to talk too much about these things. He changed the subject, "When I came here, I noticed that our township is very backward. Does the township have any measures in this regard?"

Eleanor Smith then said seriously, "Actually, there’s some divergence in the township’s ideology regarding this matter. Most comrades are conservative and lack initiative; a small number of cadres want to develop. However, the minority must obey the majority. It’s good that Deputy Town Chief Wang is here. You have some new ideas from big cities, and it’s hoped that you can play a driving role in the township’s development."

This woman!

Peter Brown found himself speechless again. Eleanor Smith subtly hinted at many things in her words. She implied that Alexander Lee and the others are not enterprising, but she, Wei, wanted to do something, and her support force is insufficient.

Peter Brown had just arrived, and it was better not to discuss these matters further. With that thought, he nodded, "I heard that some people were given fluid replacement treatments yesterday because of me. I should go and check on them."

Not waiting for Eleanor Smith to say anything, Peter Brown stood up.

"Okay, I’ll go with you." Eleanor Smith smiled, and also stood up.

Seeing Eleanor Smith’s posture, Peter Brown understood clearly that Eleanor Smith had launched an offensive on him from the beginning, trying to pull him to her side, and now she showed intimacy with him, accompanying him to visit those who received fluid treatment, trying to demonstrate that they were both outlanders and had already united together easily.

Peter Brown didn’t mind this, as he came here for cultivation experience. The more complex the situation, the more benefits there were for him in his Cultivation experience.

"That’s good. I really don’t know where the Sanitary Institute is."

The two of them left the courtyard and headed east.

"Our township has only one main street, from east to west. The Sanitary Institute is on the far east." Eleanor Smith introduced some information about the township.

While walking, Peter Brown saw a woman wearing a clothes approaching, it was Alexander Lee.

"Mr. Hill, do you live here?" Peter Brown greeted warmly.

Alexander Lee looked at Peter Brown and then at Eleanor Smith and smiled, "Going to see our comrades?"

"Yes, I heard that some comrades were injured from drinking and wanted to go visit them."

"Hmm, let’s go together." Alexander Lee didn’t say much and joined Peter Brown and Eleanor Smith.

Peter Brown observed Alexander Lee’s condition. He was very weak right now, as last night’s drinking had taken its toll on him, and he should only be recovering a little.

Soon, they entered the Sanitary Institute.

At this moment, Peter Brown found things interesting. There were many people in the Sanitary Institute today, mostly women.

As soon as Alexander Lee entered, the women greeted him.

"How are they?" Alexander Lee asked Hassan Woods, the Hospital Director, as he looked up.

Hassan Woods, a chubby man, smiled and said, "Mr. Hill, don’t worry, they’re fine. After getting the nutrient solution, they’ve recovered. Their family has come to take care of them and they’ll recover quickly."

"Damn Ravi Smith, now that you’re hungover like a bear, how did you end up drinking so much that you ran to get a nutrient solution?" As soon as they entered a room, Peter Brown saw several beds with people lying on them who had been admitted last night for their high alcohol consumption. Alexander Lee playfully teased them as he reprimanded them.

Everyone looked at Peter Brown and could only give a bitter smile.

Peter Brown smiled and said, "Everyone was too enthusiastic yesterday, it made me really embarrassed. After everyone has recovered, let’s have another drinking session, no return until drunk?"

The expressions on the faces of those in bed became complicated as they looked at Peter Brown and then at Alexander Lee.

Everyone understood in their hearts that the drinking yesterday was intended to show Peter Brown a tough time. Their initial plan was to dampen his enthusiasm right away and make him realize life wasn’t so simple in the township. Now, Peter Brown had not only survived the drinking but also defeated their Entire Army. Peter Brown was being challenging at this moment, but who dared to accept? Wouldn’t that be suicidal?

When Alexander Lee heard Peter Brown’s challenge, he sighed to himself. From yesterday’s events, he estimated that the entire township knew Peter Brown was not to be trifled with. As for the new Deputy Township Chief, some strategies might have to change.

For the first time, Alexander Lee realized that he had underestimated this young man.
