Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

After Yue Feng spoke, the rest of the meeting turned into garbage time, like an NBA game.

A few more trivial village affairs were mentioned, and the meeting ended hastily.

As Yue Feng watched Zhang Junhong and his men leave dejectedly, a secret sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

We still stand on the side of the people, and that gives us confidence.

Without any selfish motives, one naturally has nothing to fear from unwarranted attacks by opponents; open strategies are invincible.

After everyone else had left the meeting room, Yue Feng's father-in-law, Wang Jianguo, strolled into the room with a cup of tea.

"The meeting is over?"

"Yes, Dad, I showed them all the account books so they wouldn't have to worry about it. Now that they've seen them, I might as well lay everything out in the open!"

"This is a good idea. If Zhang Junhong were a smart man, he would know that he shouldn't touch this part of the profits."

Otherwise, if we reach out, we'll be on the opposite side of the moral high ground! We won't even need to lift a finger; the higher-ups will deal with him!"

"Hehe, that's what I think too! Their team is pretty good at working in the village, so I can have some free time!" Yue Feng grinned.

Looking at his son-in-law, who was becoming increasingly shrewd and experienced, Wang Jianguo advised, "At your age, you still have a lot of opportunities!"

In my opinion, if you're young, you should make some achievements and climb the ladder if you can!
The greater the power, the more things you can do! I'm just too old to have many opportunities, but you're different!

Yue Feng shook his head: "Forget it! I can't do this kind of work that's all about scheming and backstabbing! It's good enough if I just do something practical in the village, which will also make things easier for me!"
"By the way, Dad, I have a question for you! You introduced Xiaowen to his girlfriend, didn't you? His father's surname is Wu, and he's the deputy head of the township, right?"

When it comes to Xiaowen's girlfriend, Wang Jianguo is quite confident.

He nodded: "Yes, I introduced her to him! She's Wu Guochang's only daughter! He'll be retiring in two years, and she's his precious daughter!"
I've met him in person; he's quite good-looking and has a very proper manner. It just so happens that Wu Guochang has spread the word that he's helping to find a husband for his daughter, so I thought of the Xiaowen and Xiaowu brothers!
Surprisingly, it actually worked!

The conditions are indeed a bit demanding, but not unacceptable.

Xiaowen wasn't from a working-class background, so having two more children was something he could arrange by paying some money. With his father-in-law's influence, he wasn't afraid of the one-child policy!
For the Zhang brothers, I think this compromise, which is similar to a son-in-law marrying into the family, is acceptable!

Although Xiaowen's family has made a lot of money with you these past few years, they're still just ordinary people. That's enough!

After listening to his father-in-law's analysis, Yue Feng nodded and did not elaborate further.

Old Zhang Ganzi's considerations were indeed quite fair. If it weren't for Wu Xiaoli's questionable private life, Yue Feng would have accepted the conditions for this matchmaking arrangement.

However, Yue Feng, having learned the untold details, couldn't bear to watch his brother's head turn green with envy.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

When Wang Jianguo saw his son-in-law asking about this matter, he listened but didn't express his opinion, so he asked another question.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "No problem, I just didn't know some of the specifics inside, so I was just asking!"

Since Xiaowen can accept it, then there's nothing to worry about. Getting married soon will put my aunt's mind at ease!

"Yeah, look how fast time flies! In the blink of an eye, Kaixin is old enough to run errands!"

"Hehe! The little guy is quite naughty; he's gotten quite a beating from me and Xiaona!"

"They're just kids, that's normal! They'll start getting into trouble when they're seven or eight in a couple of years! They're still too young now."

……

Yue Feng chatted with his father-in-law for a while longer, and when he saw that it was almost time, he said goodbye and left.

Over the next few days, everything returned to normal.

The news that village secretary Yue Feng planned to use the profits from the village's mountain produce sales point to repair the road spread through the village cadres, and the villagers were quite excited.

Since the establishment of the mountain produce purchasing and sales point, villagers have had more opportunities to earn money.

Once the road is repaired, transportation will be much more convenient, which will be a huge benefit to the villagers and allow them to live a better life.

For a time, everyone praised Yue Feng, the young village secretary, and even Yue Feng's parents were respected and proud when they walked down the street.

On the other hand, after learning part of the truth, Xiaowen followed Yue Feng's request and started dating Wu Xiaoli normally.

Go pick up your shift, go to the city to buy things, as if nothing has happened.

The only difference was that Xiaowen remained absolutely calm when faced with a potential opportunity to 'take advantage'. Since unmarried men and women were generally conservative in this era, he didn't alert the other party.

One day, the people Jinlong had helped find arrived, and Yuefeng began his plan to "fish for bait".

Following Yue Feng's private arrangement, Xiao Wen took the opportunity to ride his motorcycle with Wu Xiaoli to the Fengcheng Hotel for dinner.

"Come on, Xiaoli! This is my brother's restaurant. The owners are all family! I've never taken you here before, but we have some free time today, so let's try their signature dishes!"

Xiaowen parked his motorcycle, took Wu Xiaoli's hand, and went into the house.

"Xiaowen's here? And who is this...?"

When Yue Shan saw Xiao Wen arrive, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Big brother, this is my girlfriend, Wu Xiaoli! Xiaoli, call me big brother! This is Brother Feng's older brother, and also our big brother!" Xiaowen introduced.

"Hello, big brother! Just call me Xiaoli! I've heard from Xiaowen that our family has businesses in the city, but I haven't had a chance to visit yet! Please don't be upset!"

Wu Xiaoli greeted him very politely and with a humble attitude.

Yue Shan laughed and said, "Haha, we're all family, no need to be so formal!"

Xiaowen, is it just the two of you, or do you have other friends with you? I'll arrange a private room for you and your sister-in-law! They've come with us, so we can't neglect them!
"Now that you're here, make yourself at home! No need to be shy! See what you'd like to eat, it's all on me!"

"It's just the two of us, a small private room will do! We're mainly here to get acquainted with the place and maybe try some of your signature dishes!"

"Let's go to room number one in the Jia section! It's more spacious there! Sister-in-law, do you have any dietary restrictions? I'll tell the head chef in the back!"

"No, brother, don't trouble yourself. We can't eat much!"

"How can we be careless? Xiaowen is like my own brother. This is the first time he's brought you here, so we have to treat you well. You two go to the private room first, don't worry about the rest, I'll take care of it!"

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, brother!"

……

Yue Shan, unaware of the specifics of the situation, assumed it was Xiao Wen bringing his girlfriend to visit, and treated Wu Xiaoli with great enthusiasm, showing her considerable respect.

The two went to the private room that had been arranged, and soon someone brought them tea, pastries, dried fruit, and other snacks.

Fengcheng Grand Hotel is definitely one of the top hotels in the area, and its hospitality standards are quite high.

Even the luxury restaurants that Wu Xiaoli frequents in other places are only of this level at most.

For a moment, Wu Xiaoli felt flattered and overwhelmed.

Leaving aside the details of serving and eating, Wu Xiaoli went to the restroom in the middle of the meal.

On her way to the restroom, she bumped into a handsome, pale-faced man wearing a suit and imported perfume. He was very good-looking and dressed like a successful person.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?" The pretty boy apologized very politely, speaking in a standard Beijing accent.

"It's alright!"

Wu Xiaoli looked up at the other person, her heart skipped a beat, but she pretended nothing was wrong and stood up again.

"Please go first!" The pretty boy stepped aside slightly, making way for him.

Wu Xiaoli walked over and went to the toilet to use the facilities, her heart pounding as if she were carrying a deer.

That handsome guy was so good-looking, with a gentle voice and impeccable attire. He looked like the kind of rich kid who might even have studied abroad. After using the restroom, Wu Xiaoli washed her hands, tidied her clothes, and walked out. When she looked down the hallway, she realized the handsome guy was gone, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Back in the private room, during her meal with Xiaowen, Wu Xiaoli seemed somewhat distracted.

Xiaowen saw it all, but said nothing, pretending not to know.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiaowen drove Wu Xiaoli to the counter to pay the bill. Yueshan didn't charge them a single penny, giving them plenty of face.

When she was leaving, Wu Xiaoli got on Xiaowen's motorcycle.

As she was leaving, Wu Xiaoli saw the young man in the suit again, getting into a car with a Beijing license plate.

As the distance increased, Wu Xiaoli soon lost sight of him.

When she got home that evening, Wu Xiaoli said she wasn't feeling well and didn't invite Xiaowen to her room. Instead, she went home somewhat absentmindedly.

The next day, Wu Xiaoli went to work as usual.

Just after nine o'clock, someone came to the counter to inquire about the business.

Wu Xiaoli looked up and met the eyes of the person who had just arrived.

It's that handsome guy in the suit from yesterday!
"you……"

"Oh! What a coincidence! You work here?" The young man seemed quite surprised.

"Yes, is there something you need?"

"I'd like to ask if the new mining tender in our township is submitted through our area?"

"Mining tender?"

"Yes! It was released by the Municipal Mining Bureau. The bidding seems to be happening at our township government. I'm not entirely sure, so I came to ask!"

Wu Xiaoli shook her head; she had never heard of any mining tenders.

But it doesn't matter. I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. I kept dreaming about this handsome guy I only met once.

I unexpectedly ran into this today; it's like God is giving me a chance!

A few days ago, Wu Xiaoli met Xiaowen through a blind date. Although he was quite capable, she always felt that he was too good for her and not good enough for her.

If it weren't for her father's approval, the fact that the man was quite charming, and the fact that she was pregnant, Wu Xiaoli would never have chosen him as her husband.

Now, I've unexpectedly met this wealthy man from out of town. From what he's saying, he's planning to come and start a mine. This is a great opportunity!

If I could win over this handsome guy, it would be much better than following a country bumpkin like Xiaowen!
"I haven't heard the manager mention anything about this kind of business! Otherwise, I can ask a colleague for you?"

Wu Xiaoli shook her head, then offered to help.

"Sure, I don't know many people around here, I might have made a mistake! Beautiful lady, could you help me out?"

The young man readily agreed, taking the opportunity to ask for help.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask!"

Wu Xiaoli felt there was a chance, so she immediately turned around and went to the back office.

I asked a few colleagues from different departments and quickly got the answer I wanted.

The matter the other party asked about is indeed true; they did indeed go to the wrong place, which falls under the jurisdiction of the neighboring township.

When Wu Xiaoli returned to the service window, the man in the suit was still patiently waiting.

"I just asked for you, it's not here, it's in the neighboring Tuwa Township!"

"Tuwa Township? Where is that? Is it far?"

The man in the suit looked completely bewildered upon hearing this unfamiliar name.

"It's a bit far, don't you know the way?"

"I really don't recognize it. Many parts of the road here are unpaved, and I can't find the next one on the map!"

Wu Xiaoli, on a sudden inspiration, said very proactively, "How about this, I'll take you there! How did you get here?"

"That's great, thank you so much! I drove here, you just need to give me directions! If I get it done, I'll definitely pay you!"

The man in the suit looked pleased and promised to give him benefits.

"Wait a moment, I'll go say hello to the boss!" Wu Xiaoli immediately got up and headed straight for the boss's office.

She had gotten the job through connections, so the boss naturally took good care of her. He gave her a heads-up and she got leave. Then, Wu Xiaoli got into the car with the young man and left the office.

Once they got on the bus, it was obvious what happened next.

On one hand, there's a seasoned driver with impure motives; on the other hand, there's a scheming, manipulative woman adept at facilitating relationships.

In less than two hours, Wu Xiaoli became familiar with this handsome guy from Beijing named Jin Mingshuai.

It was a trap set for her from the start, so naturally all the conditions were very much in line with what she wanted.

Under the guise of helping with business, the two spent most of the day running around outside. When they returned in the afternoon, Jin Mingshuai found an opportunity.

"I'll treat you to Western food tonight! I don't have many friends here, thank you for your help!"

"Fine, I'll treat you! I don't have any plans today!"

Seeing that Wu Xiaoli had taken the bait, Jin Mingshuai's tense nerves relaxed.

The job my older brother assigned me is finally starting to look promising.

What follows is not suitable for children.

The two took a car into the city and had steak at the only Western restaurant in Fengcheng, along with some red wine.

They ate and drank together, and their relationship naturally grew closer.

Slightly tipsy, Wu Xiaoli readily followed Jin Mingshuai to the guesthouse where they were staying.

The night was enchanting, with breathtaking scenery.

The next day, after they sobered up, their relationship improved significantly, and Wu Xiaoli immediately expressed her desire to date Jin Mingshuai.

Jin Mingshuai readily agreed and promised to take her home to meet his parents in a few days.

For the rest of the day, Wu Xiaoli called her workplace to ask for leave, and the two of them spent the rest of the day at the guesthouse.

……

Three days later, Wu Xiaoli, who had fallen for someone else, met Xiaowen, who had come to pick her up after get off work.

"Where have you been these past two days? Why haven't you come to work? I asked your colleagues and they said you took leave!" Xiaowen asked, feigning concern.

"It's a personal matter. I've been out for two days! What brings you here?" Wu Xiaoli said coldly and perfunctorily.

"I'm here to pick you up from get off work! Shall I take you out for dinner tonight?"

"I won't be going to dinner; I need to talk to you about something!"

"What is it?" (End of Chapter)
