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

Yu Hong decided to try Lu Weiguo's method after making a good impression.

But before trying it.

Yu Hong brought in the Liu sisters, Liu Xia and Liu Mei, to spread the news of Lu Weiguo's connections throughout the guesthouse.

"What? Section Chief Lu has connections in the provincial government? Is he that leader surnamed Lu from the end of last year?"

"I don't know, but I heard that he's related to Secretary Zhao of our county party committee."

"Huh? Didn't Section Chief Lu get promoted based on his own abilities?"

Liu Mei walked with a limp, but remained calm and composed as she asked questions from the side.

Both of the above messages were spread by her and her sister together.

However, in order to leave a deeper impression on everyone, he still fanned the flames from the sidelines.

"You don't understand. How could a poor person like you know about information from above?"

"Exactly, you two are wasting your talents with Section Chief Lu. I should have told the boss I wanted to be Section Chief Lu's secretary."

Both of them were rumored to have connections in their families, which Liu Mei confirmed when she asked them.

The look of disdain on his face was as if he had heard the news from home.

They are even more adept at making up lies.

What? I saw Section Chief Lu chatting with his father inside the county committee office that day.

What? Section Chief Lu had previously treated their family to a meal.

In short, it only took an afternoon.

Everyone in the guesthouse knew that Section Chief Lu had very strong connections.

Wait until the next day.

Yu Hong gathered all the staff of the guesthouse together early in the morning.

"Let me tell you, from now on, our guesthouse will be managed according to the newly established rules and regulations, treating everyone equally and without favoritism."

A single violation will result in a warning; two violations will result in a 50% deduction of the month's salary; and three violations will result in immediate dismissal.

"Once someone is evicted, it's useless no matter who comes to complain."

Yu Hong posted the rules and regulations she had written down while serving Lu Weiguo on the wall.

Actually, nobody cared.

But after reading the regulations, everyone's faces turned gloomy.

"What do you mean you can't keep accounts without her signature? Who does she think she is?!"

"Exactly, this is an old tradition of the guesthouse. Do they really think the guesthouse is their private property?"

"She's just an unwanted mistress, and she's acting all high and mighty. She doesn't even have as much influence as Section Chief Lu."

"We all have legitimate jobs with permanent positions. How can she just lay us off like that? What gives her the right?"

"You've misread it. It says 'return to my old workplace.' I don't want to go back to being a factory worker. It's so much better here; I'm protected from the wind and rain."

"Eat whatever you want. Whatever the leaders eat, we eat. Isn't that right, Chef Zhou?"

When asked by the waiter, Master Zhou's face darkened even more.

Lu Weiguo destroyed his previous source of income.

I've run out of money gambling these past few days.

The new regulations require that all daily food consumption be recorded accurately.

This is practically cutting off someone's livelihood!

If that's the rule, what's the point of what he's doing?

Even being late or leaving early...

Before they could finish their discussion...

Lu Weiguo walked in, shaking his head and swaying.

He glanced at everyone, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "What are you all doing gathered here? Go do what you were supposed to be doing!"

"Section Chief Lu, what time is it that you're only arriving now? Do you think this is your home?"

Just as he finished speaking, Yu Hong came downstairs.

The timing was perfect, considering the two had just exchanged an OK sign through the second-floor window.

"Hmm? Director Yu, what's going on?"

Lu Weiguo frowned, looking unconvinced. He glanced at his watch and said smugly, "It's only a little over an hour late."

Besides, didn't you say we should treat our workplace like our own home?

"I said I'd take charge, and I said I'd follow the rules and regulations at work! Why didn't you listen!"

I don't know if it was the "oppression" I experienced in the office before.

At this moment, Yu Hong's acting skills were absolutely on point; she let out a scream that made Lu Weiguo tremble.

The others stared at the two in surprise and quickly moved aside. They had been working for so long, and this was the first time they had ever seen the usually shrewd and tactful Director Yu so angry.

"Do you all think I'm easy to bully? You've only been here a few days. Don't think that just because you were transferred from the county committee, you can be treated the way you're supposed to. No matter who you are, you have to follow the rules."

The first warning: write a self-criticism and hand it in on my desk. The second: a fine. The third: return to your original unit immediately. Do you understand?!

As Yu Hong spoke, her little leather shoes slapped loudly on the wooden steps.

She walked directly in front of Lu Weiguo, her small body radiating an astonishing aura.

Finally, he even grabbed Lu Weiguo by the ear and led him directly to the rules and regulations in the new post.

"Since this is your first offense, I won't make you write a self-criticism this time. You just stand here and read these rules and regulations to me!!"

"Read it three times before you can go upstairs!!"

"Director Yu, Section Chief Lu is in charge of procurement..."

Liu Xia, not understanding the situation, mustered her courage and stepped forward to offer advice.

Anyone would think this is going too far; don't they have any pride?

Being punished in front of so many people is worse than writing a self-criticism in private!

"What's with controlling procurement? There aren't any procurement quotas right now! No one is exempt from this system!"

"Good! Good! Good!!" Lu Weiguo flung Yu Hong's hand away.

He was so angry he was turning red in the face; this little girl had really gone too far!

This section wasn't in yesterday's design; this is clearly settling a personal score.

After all, when Lu Weiguo made her bow her head, he also made her repeat what he had said while she was working.

Yu Hong almost managed to snatch it.

"I'll carry it! You just wait! If I didn't want to go back to my old workplace, I wouldn't put up with this!"

These words seemed to express the sentiments of everyone.

These days, it's not easy to find a job, let alone a good one that doesn't expose you to the elements.

No one would look at you differently if they heard that they worked at a guesthouse.

Every now and then, they can pack some meat and vegetables to take home and eat.

No other company offers this kind of treatment.

Lu Weiguo pouted and read the rules and regulations aloud three times, clearly dissatisfied.

He pulled Liu Xia directly back to his office.

Liu Xia followed closely behind, carefully closing the door, and clung to Lu Weiguo's sleeve like a kitten: "Brother Weiguo, don't be angry. Director Yu didn't mean it."

"I guess everyone's gone too far these past few days, she... She wasn't like this before."

"Really? What was she like before?"

Lu Weiguo stretched his neck and realized that he was indeed not suited to be an actor; if he continued acting, he would definitely be exposed.

He wrapped his arms around Liu Xia, pressed his head against her neck, and kissed her deeply, savoring her delicate fragrance.

This action caused Liu Xia's body to stiffen instantly.

Her little face was as red as a ripe apple, making you want to take a bite.

"Alright, alright, it's all over now. Don't forget to keep an eye on those people's reactions when you have time. I'm fine here."

"Ah! Brother Weiguo, brother... I... I'll go down right now."

Liu Xia was so nervous that she couldn't speak. She covered her face and ran out.
