Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Director Zhao, we heard you have an event here, so we came uninvited. May we ask for some drinks?"

As soon as the two officers entered, they greeted Director Zhao warmly.

Just then, Lu Weiguo entered the room and saw this scene.

"Hey, Brother Huang, what brings you here? We just had a drink a little while ago, and they're cooking freshly hunted wild boar meat outside. You've come at just the right time."

Even though Director Zhao had drunk too much, he didn't act arrogantly and got up to go and greet him.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would definitely think that the two military personnel who came were only familiar with Director Zhao.

After all, the two greeted each other very familiarly as soon as they met.

However, Lu Weiguo immediately noticed the problem.

Although the other people present also stood up to welcome them.

But Qian Yunshan glanced at the two of them and then lowered his head to avoid their gaze, afraid that people would realize he knew that officer!

However, his acting skills were really bad, comparable to those of the young heartthrobs of later generations.

In the officialdom, when you encounter such occasions, especially when multiple units are together...

The closer you are to someone, the more you should pretend you don't know them.

On the contrary, those who are good at socializing can chat with anyone for a while.

Those who want to work within the system should go study, but make sure you don't go up and greet everyone you see.

Unless you give people the impression of being a socialite.

Otherwise, even if nothing goes wrong, you'll never be able to take another step forward in your life.

After exchanging warm greetings, Director Zhao even formally introduced Officer Huang to Qian Yunshan.

After the introductions were finished, she turned to Lu Weiguo: "Little Lu, you've come at the right time. I noticed you could hold your liquor. These two officers just arrived; have a couple of drinks with them to catch up on the progress."

"Brother Huang, let me tell you, this kid is the best hunter among County Chief Qian's men. He was the one who shot the wild boar on the first day!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands, and then made a move to pour wine.

His original intention was to sneak in and find out the officer's purpose for coming.

This is a perfect opportunity to have a drink.

"No, Brother Zhao, Director Zhao, I have some important business to attend to. We can have a drink after we finish this."

Serious business?

Lu Weiguo pretended not to understand and took a step back without leaving.

"Important business? Your business is indeed important. Just tell me what it is. Do you want us to go out and talk alone?" Director Zhao became more sober.

The importance of border defense in Northeast China is not insignificant.

Although these two people were just staff members here.

That's not someone he can afford to offend.

At this point, we should act as forcefully as we did towards Qian Yunshan.

Then he's a complete idiot.

"No need for that. It's just that one of our pieces of equipment broke down. I heard that you have a college graduate who studied mechanical engineering and was sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution."

I'd like to ask the guy who was supposed to enlist in the army last year to help us.

College students and educated youth sent to the countryside are still here.

It's obvious that there's something wrong with his identity.

However, college students are truly scarce these days, since no universities have been established for many years.

Judging by her age, she must be in her mid-twenties.

"Huh? You mean Wu Qing? You want to see him? He probably can't help much anymore?"

Director Zhao's words were pointed, and I shook my head in embarrassment to refuse.

"Huh? What's wrong with Brother Zhao? It's only been a year, did he go back to the city?"

"No, it's just that he's not in good health. He broke his lower back while carrying heavy logs a while ago, and now he's paralyzed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and even lifting his arms is difficult for him."

Director Zhao's explanation was roundabout.

"Such a big thing, how come I haven't heard about it?"

In the event of injury or death among educated youth, it is necessary to report to the educated youth office.

Their office was tasked with screening the identities of a large number of educated youth.

So it was located not far from the office for educated youth.

"It's nothing serious, I hurt myself, so I didn't have time to say anything."

Director Zhao has already said all that; anyone can tell there's a problem.

It would be impolite to ask any further questions.

The undercover agent, who was all smiles, felt a pang of regret.

Only Liu Jia's complexion grew increasingly worse.

Wu Qing, her former lover, the two helped each other and made progress together.

Wu Qing was injured while protecting her; she was beaten by people hired by Director Zhao.

This kind of thing is all too common at this time.

Those who were sent to the countryside due to identity issues, or those who lived in cowsheds.

Let alone being beaten, even if you were killed, few people would care.

When the label was removed two years later, so many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice suddenly broke out, and that was because of this.

"That's a pity..."

"Boss, I also know a little about machinery, how about I give it a try?"

Lu Weiguo stood to the side, muttering in a low voice.

At this moment, he kept rubbing his hands together, looking terrified and repeatedly trying to get to know the important person.

To put on a show completely.

His acting skills are far superior to Qian Yunshan's.

"Hey? This young man is interesting. Isn't he a hunter? How come he knows how to repair machinery?"

Do you even know what machinery is? It's not those oxcarts and tin cans from your village.

Officer Huang smiled, turned around, adjusted his glasses, and did not directly refuse.

"I understand. I'll read a book for a while. My mother-in-law is a teacher, and my father-in-law likes to tinker with those things. I've been learning from him for several years now."

Lu Weiguo apologized in his heart and could only push the blame onto his father-in-law.

However, what he said was true. Li Guangrong did know a little about repairs. He supplemented his family income by repairing bicycles and radios for his neighbors, which he learned on his own.

But after selling pine nut oil, he became too lazy to go out anymore.

The dollar and eighty cents he earned was less than a fraction of the price of a bottle of pine nut oil.

"Oh? You like reading? How about we go out and have a look?"

"OK."

Lu Weiguo nodded and immediately smiled obsequiously.

Instead, Qian Yunshan frowned.

"Brother Zhao, wait for me a moment, I'm taking my little brother out for a bit."

The three of them left the tent and crowded into the front of the truck.

The young soldier took a wooden box from under the seat.

Open the wooden box, take out the absorbent cotton for cushioning, and then carefully feel out a circuit board from inside the dark green silk cloth!

Yes!

It's just a big, clunky, and somewhat messy circuit board.

Lu Weiguo almost burst out laughing when he saw it.

He hadn't seen anything like this in years.

In his previous life, he also made his fortune through electronics.

There was no other way; it was just like ZTE and Huawei in later generations.

That was the golden age in the 1990s.

Nothing, not even stocks, can make you rich faster than this.

However, it requires a certain level of technical skill.

At that time, Lu Weiguo didn't understand anything. He just followed others, contributing money and effort, but in the end, he was kicked out because he didn't understand the technology.

After realizing the value of technology, he devoted himself to studying it for a period of time, although he did not reach the level of an expert.

But he can understand the professional knowledge now, and that's enough for him.

The expertise he possesses is groundbreaking in this era.

"Can you fix this thing? It's okay if you can't, but what I saw today..."

"Know how to repair."

Upon hearing this, the two officers were stunned. Then, the young soldier quickly put away the circuit board and looked at Lu Weiguo with a scrutinizing expression.
