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

"Sister Yu, since you've assigned me here, I'll do my best to fulfill my duties. Please rest assured about that."

Such mature women, who navigate men's drinking parties with ease, either possess exceptional skills.

Either they have connections or influence behind them.

No matter which type, no one likes a gigolo who only knows how to fawn over someone.

Lu Weiguo's calm and respectful words instantly drew Yu Hong in, leaving her momentarily stunned.

She paused on the steps for a moment, then leaned directly against Lu Weiguo.

With Lu Weiguo's help, they went upstairs.

I entered the last office.

The office smelled wonderful and was quite large. Yu Hong didn't shy away from it as she entered, taking off her coat and hanging it on a hanger.

Then he opened the small door next to the clothes rack, pointed to the room, and said, "That will be your office from now on. The main entrance is next door. The key is on the table inside; go get it yourself."

Don't worry, no one has used it. It used to be my lounge; I liked to lie down there when I was drunk. It's safe.

Lu Weiguo glanced at the office.

The room was spotless, and there were several of Yu Hong's coats on the sofa.

The desk was empty except for a key on it.

"Sister Yu, I understand. If you don't have anywhere else, you can come and lie down on the sofa."

"Well, young man, you're back now. You'll definitely have a bright future. I'm tired. Here's the purchase order for the next few days. Take a look and go check with the accountant."

After Yu Hong finished speaking, perhaps because she had really drunk too much, she habitually lay down on the sofa in his office, turned over, and fell asleep.

Lu Weiguo helped her put on a coat left on the sofa, then took the shopping list and went out.

This time, however, he entered through his own office door.

He closed the door, paused for a moment, and then used the key to lock the main door from the inside.

Lu Weiguo glanced at the list on the purchase order; it was all too familiar.

Pheasant, hare, grouse, roe deer, forest frog.

The higher up the leader is, the more they like to eat wild game from the mountains and forests.

Even in later generations, anyone with even a little connection would take the inspecting leaders to a farmhouse restaurant for a meal.

If you don't have a few wild game pieces, you can't present it properly.

Everyone says this is strictly regulated.

But when they investigated, they said it was a domesticated animal.

Other domesticated rabbits are alright, but those wild rabbits...

The rabbits raised at home in those years will become domestic rabbits, and they will taste different.

The guesthouse, after all, represents the face of the county town.

The staff here are definitely different.

Apart from the chef and the cleaning lady, all the other employees are women.

Even the accountants and cashiers in the accounting office were all beautiful women.

They were all dressed to the nines, and they saw Lu Weiguo enter the room.

There was not a trace of awe, only the joy of seeing a male leader.

"Boss, here's a price list. Write it down. As long as the prices you report don't exceed the price list, it's fine."

"As long as Sister Yu signs, we never withhold money."

After Lu Weiguo introduced himself, several accountants surrounded him and began to explain the basic work.

Sure enough, it was the most lucrative guesthouse of that era.

Lu Weiguo frowned as he looked at the price.

"One bicycle, two people, and if needed, you can apply for an advance payment for the purchase..."

The chatter of the women was giving Lu Weiguo a headache.

However, I still managed to understand the specific work tasks clearly.

Yu Hong was in charge of the overall affairs, including previous procurement.

There was also a deputy director in charge of personnel reception, regardless of who came to the guesthouse.

We have never delegated the right to procure goods to others.

Therefore, this time Yu Hong delegated power, leading these accountants to believe that Lu Weiguo was Yu Hong's confidant.

The enthusiasm with which he called him "Brother Lu" was palpable.

It felt like entering a spider's web.

While the job of purchasing sounds impressive, in reality, most of the common ingredients are handled directly by the chef.

Only the more important ingredients, those used to entertain leaders, were under Lu Weiguo's management.

The two people he assigned to his subordinates were temporary workers.

The two women, Liu Mei and Liu Xia, were temporarily transferred from the waitresses.

They are twins.

Upon hearing that Lu Weiguo was promoted to deputy director from the county party committee.

The two sisters kept their heads down, looking extremely reserved.

Lu Weiguo led the two to a private room and sat them down before carefully examining them.

The two sisters weren't particularly pretty, and they were short, only about 1.6 meters tall. They had white hair tied in ponytails and looked like typical good students.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Lu Weiguo asked, "Have you ever been in charge of purchasing before?"

"No, but I helped Master Zhou count the supplies. My sister and I are from a farming family in our hometown, and we are both very strong."

Liu Mei was clearly the older sister, and she mustered up her courage to introduce herself.

They were all waitresses and temporary workers, and being able to work alongside Lu Weiguo meant they had a stable job.

I definitely need to show off a lot.

"Do you know how Director Yu used to procure these kinds of mountain products?"

"I know that." Liu Xia's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "A large portion of them were purchased directly from the supply and marketing cooperative, and another portion was obtained by Master Zhou through connections from his hometown."

However, Director Yu often takes us to the countryside, and if there are any suitable items, we buy them back in advance.

Perhaps afraid of not saying enough, Yu Xia wanted to elaborate, so she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sometimes when Director Yu is tired, she likes to go to the countryside to rest, otherwise her body can't take it if she drinks every day."

Worried that Liu Xia might say something wrong, Liu Mei quickly tugged at her clothes from the side.

Lu Weiguo shook his head indifferently.

"Alright, you two will come with me then. Don't worry about the mountain supplies or missions. You're both young and quick-witted. Just stay by my side, learn more, observe more, and talk less."

If you can write, write down everything you learn. You can't stay a waiter forever at such a young age.

These are all women, so it's inconvenient to directly assign tasks to them and have them go to the countryside or something.

Fortunately, Lu Weiguo didn't take these tasks seriously.

It would be better to train them again. If they turn out to be promising talents, they could be a help when they return to the reform and opening-up office in the future.

Moreover, the appearances of these two are truly perplexing.

She had the perfect look of a model student, the kind of woman that men in later generations, after their awakening, would ideally want in a wife.

It's not exactly beautiful, but it's pleasing to the eye.

They are well-behaved and look very reliable.

A new leader arrived at the guesthouse, and the loudspeaker played the announcement several times over when there were no guests.

Lu Weiguo's name was also posted on the bulletin board.

The staff at these guesthouses could tell at a glance that a strange man must be a new leader.

Walking around the guesthouse, you'd find it bustling with women, it was quite a scene!

I saw more than thirty unfamiliar faces along the way.

They were all stunningly beautiful.

Of course, even those cleaning ladies in their forties.

They were all carefully selected by Yu Hong.

"Does Yu Hong have a thing for women? These days, he's acting like a shady businessman. If he were in later generations, he'd definitely be a professional nightclub operator..."
