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

The call connected.

Yang Yaowen activated the speakerphone, setting the volume to maximum.

Yang Yaowu's voice came through the phone, "Yaowen, the situation is looking very good. Lai Mei Fitness has made a move, but their response is laughable, they actually applied for administrative review, haha!"

Administrative review is when you don't agree with certain actions taken by officials against you and you file an appeal.

After receiving an administrative review, officials will re-examine the justness and legality of the action.

However, this review process can be rather troublesome and there's a high degree of uncertainty with regards to the timeline.

This time, Lai Mei Fitness was specifically targeted by the Yang family; delaying the process for several months with the Yang family's influence would not be an issue.

And before the review result comes out, the previous actions remain effective.

This means there is virtually no difference with or without the administrative review.

By the time the review outcome arrives, even if it is favorable to Lai Mei Fitness, it would be too late.

Furthermore, with the Yang family fanning the flames, how could it possibly turn out in favor of Lai Mei Fitness?

All present were scions of noble families and wealthy second generations; even if some were known for their profligacy, they were well aware of such situations due to their upbringing.

The crowd sighed in admiration at Yang Yaowen's methods; they were fast, accurate, and ruthless. It seemed he had left Lai Mei Fitness with no room to fight back,

It appeared that Lai Mei Fitness was so stunned that they resorted to such a foolish move.

After laughing heartily, Yang Yaowu asked, "Yaowen, do you think we should increase the pressure?"

Hearing this, Pan Junbin downstairs burst into laughter, pointing arrogantly at Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng, "Did you hear what my brother Wu said? If you don't want him to step up his game against Lai Mei Fitness, then kneel down and apologize, and slap your own faces."

If Pan Junbin didn't think he would lose a fight with Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng, he would have considered taking matters into his own hands.

But at that moment, a ringing sound came from Yang Yaowen's phone.

From the sound of it, it was easy to tell that it was a landline ringing.

Clearly, it was the ringing of the office landline in Yang Yaowu's office; someone was calling him.

Yang Yaowen, intending to ask his brother to put more pressure on, heard the ringing and paused in speech.

He even considered hanging up the phone, as it might be someone else needing to discuss something with Yang Yaowu; some conversations are not suitable for others to hear as they might involve some secrets.

But before he could hang up, he heard Yang Yaowu's voice, "The operation has already started, and now you're saying you want to pull out; isn't that absurd? It's just Lai Mei Fitness, a company worth just a few billion. Are you seriously this scared?"

It was clearly about the matter regarding Lai Mei Fitness.

Yang Yaowu had ordered someone to do something, and for some reason, it had scared the person into wanting to back out.

What was going on?

The crowd was left speculating.

At this time, Yang Yaowen found it difficult to hang up the phone.

If he disconnected the call, he would certainly be accused of being cowardly, which might give rise to rampant rumors.

After thinking it over, Yang Yaowen decided to keep the speakerphone on.

He believed Yang Yaowu would be able to handle things properly.

Yang Yaowu's voice continued, "What did you say, provincial leaders are going to inspect your place? That's not a problem either. I've managed to saddle Lai Mei Fitness with the reputation of defrauding customers. Your enforcement is perfectly just and legal."

After Yang Yaowu finished his sentence, there was silence for a while, no more words were spoken.

Then there was a click.

Obviously, it was the sound of the landline receiver being put down.

Following that, Yang Yaowu's voice came through, "Yaowen, you're still there, right?"

At this point, Yang Yaowen realized something was wrong. He glanced at the people downstairs, no longer cared about their opinions, and turned off the speakerphone, bringing the phone to his ear, "Yes, what's happened?"

As he spoke, he moved to a corner.

So that no one could hear his conversation.

Yang Yaowu said angrily, "The head of the Commercial Management Bureau had someone removed."

Yang Yaowen frowned and asked, "What does it mean to remove someone at this time, what exactly happened?"

He had only vaguely heard something about a leadership inspection and now needed to understand the specific situation.

Yang Yaowu replied, "They said a leader was coming for inspection, and it was specifically because of this matter that they came down, fearing they would be implicated."

Yang Yaowen said, "The fire department has also taken action. If they're coming because of this, there should be someone inspecting there too. There's no issue with the fire department, right?"

Yang Yaowu answered, "Some leaders went there for inspection too, but our acquaintance at the fire department felt it was no problem and chose not to withdraw."

Upon hearing this, a slight heaviness settled in Yang Yaowen's heart.

When a person reaches a certain height, their words and actions carry profound implications.

Now that two leaders were coming down to inspect, and it was all because of the Ley-Mei fitness matter.

That indicated the leaders already knew the nature of the issue and perhaps meant to take Ley-Mei's side.

However, after thinking it over for a moment, he calmed down and said, "After all, Ley-Mei Fitness is a brand with a size of several billion, being the largest sports and fitness brand in our province. They certainly have their own network of relationships. I suppose it's just their connections that have approached us, not a big deal."

Relieved by those words, Yang Yaowu exhaled deeply.

The news that the head of the Commercial Management Bureau had withdrawn had put a great deal of pressure on him, fearing it would cause the entire crackdown to fail.

Failure was one thing, but backlash was another worry altogether.

Reassured by his brother's words, Yang Yaowu then said, "Ley-Mei's web of connections surely isn't as extensive as ours. I'll find someone to tear down Ley-Mei Fitness's web of connections!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yang Yaowen nodded, "Right, go ahead and do that. Once their network is dismantled, Ley-Mei Fitness should have no chance of fighting back." Your next read is at empire

"Alright, just wait for the good news!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Yaowu pulled up a phone number but didn't dial out immediately.

Instead, he took a moment to collect his thoughts and consider his words before making the call.

Soon, the call was connected.

A voice came through at once, "Are you calling about Ley-Mei Fitness?"

The provincial government and the city government buildings were separated by just a road.

Whatever happened, news would spread through both governments.

So it was no surprise to Yang Yaowu that the other party knew his purpose.

Yang Yaowu got straight to the point, "Boss Xue, the same arrangement as before."

Boss Xue replied, "The two people going for the inspection are of the same rank as me, and they have evidently communicated with each other. Facing them alone is a bit difficult for me."

Yang Yaowen immediately said, "Triple."

Boss Xue gave a faint smile, "In five minutes, there will be a brief meeting where I will raise this issue. As for whether it will be effective, that's beyond my control."

People like him would never overpromise.

Even if they felt one hundred percent certain, they would not make definite promises.

That's how they leave room for maneuver - because no one knows how things might change.

Even an inconspicuous factor could sway the direction of events.

But getting such a response from the other party was very satisfying to Yang Yaowu.

Having dealt with Boss Xue for a long time, Yang Yaowu knew the kind of person he was.

After the call, Yang Yaowu sat quietly in his office, waiting.

Based on what he knew, governmental 'brief meetings' usually lasted less than ten minutes.

That meant he could expect a message from Boss Xue within ten minutes.

But fifteen minutes had passed, and there was still no message from Boss Xue.

What could have happened?
