Lu Yao went to the private room next door.

At this time, the private rooms were not as enclosed and luxurious as they were later; they were just simple single rooms.

There was a piece of glass on the top of the door panel, and a layer of green silk was pasted on the glass for privacy.

Lu Yao reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The person inside said something.

Thinking it was a waiter delivering food, but it turned out to be a man, dressed simply and plainly. Secretary Li, sitting next to Director Fang, was displeased.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

He stood up as he spoke.

It seems they are trying to ensure the leader can have a quiet conversation.

As soon as he stood up, he blocked Yuan Tianchu's view and didn't see that it was Lu Yao.

Lu Yao asked a question:

"Is Chairman Yuan here? I think so."

Secretary Li was even angrier:

"Whether it's your business or not is none of your concern. Go outside and wait."

There are plenty of people who know Chairman Yuan, why are you asking around like a little kid?

Anyone who could be related to Chairman Yuan must be at least ten years old.

But at this moment, Yuan Tianshu understood:

"Is that Lu Yao? Little Lu, I recognize your voice."

He stood up as he spoke.

He was tall, and when he stood up, Secretary Li, who was standing between him and Lu Yao, disappeared.

A height of 1.65 meters could not block their view at all.

Yuan Tianchu feigned surprise:

"Oh my gosh, it really is Xiao Lu!"

Secretary Li immediately recognized the visitor as Lu Yao, whom Chairman Yuan had just praised.

I was startled.

Look at this, I've offended someone!

How could someone who's just a lackey make such a basic mistake?

He quickly put on a smiling face: "Oh my, this is Lu Yao? Young and promising, no wonder he's so handsome."

He moved a stool and placed it next to Yuan Tianshu so that Lu Yao could sit down.

Lu Yao went inside and nodded to Yuan Tianshu:

"Mr. Yuan, I was having dinner next door when I heard your voice, so I came over to say hello."

Yuan Tianchu laughed heartily, grabbed Lu Yao's hand, and said to the people at the table:

"What a coincidence! Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Lu Yao, the militia company commander of Jiapigou, the young hero I often mention to you."

Director Fang stood up, shook hands with Lu Yao, and looked him up and down:

"You are indeed a distinguished man. Mr. Yuan just praised you."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Director Fang, you flatter me. I'm just a country bumpkin."

Yuan Tianchu pressed Lu Yao's shoulder to make him sit down, and said to Secretary Li:

"Please add a bowl and chopsticks. It's a rare occasion to meet like this today, let's have a couple of drinks together."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "Mr. Yuan, I have some friends to take care of. I just came over to offer a toast and I'll be leaving soon."

"We still have to have a drink."

Yuan Tianshu personally poured him wine, which was laid out on the table and must have been a good wine brought from home.

"Xiao Lu, did you hear what I just said to Director Fang?"

Lu Yao smiled and picked up his wine glass:

"I heard that, so I came to thank Mr. Yuan for his kind words."

Yuan Tianchu clinked glasses with him, drank it all in one gulp, and put down his glass.

"What flattery? I'm just telling the truth. You're the most suitable person for the position of deputy director of the lumber mill."

Lu Yao shook his head: "Mr. Yuan, I appreciate your kindness. But I'm used to being a free spirit and I can't handle office work."

Director Fang interjected, "Comrade Lu Yao, this isn't about putting you in an office. The deputy factory director is mainly in charge of recruitment, logistics, and village coordination. You have prestige in the village, so this matter can't be left to you."

Lu Yao shook his head again: "I'm young, I'm afraid I won't do a good job and will delay the country's affairs."

Yuan Tianchu stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled:

"Xiao Lu, are you afraid of owing me a favor?"

Lu Yao was taken aback.

Yuan Tianchu patted him on the shoulder: "Let me be frank with you, building this factory in Jiapigou is good for you and good for the villagers. It's not me helping you, it's you helping them."

He pointed at Director Fang, who smiled politely.

Yuan Tianshu added, "The forestry department also needs a local to cooperate with, and I need someone trustworthy to keep an eye on things. You're perfect for both. If you feel indebted, just get me some good wine in the future."

Lu Yao was silent for a moment, then picked up his wine glass:

"Since you've said that, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse. Alright, I'll do this job. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Yuan Tianchu laughed heartily and clinked glasses with him again:

"That's right."

Lu Yao finished his drink and stood up:

"Mr. Yuan, Director Fang, my friends are waiting for me, so I'll head over now. Let's visit Jiapigou another day and try our new wine."

Yuan Tianshu nodded:

"I'll definitely go."

Lu Yao walked to the door and looked back one last time.

Yuan Tianchu was looking at him with a smile, his eyes as kind as an elder's.

He pushed open the door and went out.

The corridor was empty, so he slowed his pace, and the smile on his lips slowly faded.

Yuan Tianshu's words just now were watertight, and every sentence was for his benefit.

But the more this is the case, the more it illustrates the problem.

I have no connection with him. Why would a retired cadre care about him so much?

Fan Suzhen had told Lu Yao that Yuan Hai wanted to recommend him for the position of deputy factory director. Lu Yao was initially reluctant to accept the position, but seeing that Yuan Tianshu also strongly recommended him, he suddenly changed his mind.

He was always audacious and reckless, and now he wanted to go with the flow and see what Yuan Tianshu was up to.

He left, and Yuan Tianchu smiled.

Lu Yao is a fierce general, incomparable to the likes of Chen Ming, the big-bearded man.

With his help, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

He came here today to meet with Sun Wenju and hear his report.

Upon suddenly seeing Lu Yao's jeep, he changed his mind.

He told Sun Wenju to quickly find Director Fang and find out where Lu Yao's private room was, so he came and performed a play.

It can be said that they went to great lengths to win over Lu Yao.

Lu Yao went downstairs and had just reached the car.

Then a very imposing woman walked out.

Wearing a Zhongshan suit, this androgynous beauty's attire makes it easy to recognize her as Shi Mengyi, Shi Shouyin's sister, without even a close look.

She came out of the restaurant with a flushed face, as if she had drunk quite a bit.

She was still the same as always, one hand in her pocket, walking with a swagger.

Her husband, Liang Chunlin, followed behind, head down, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Xiao Lu?"

When Shi Mengyi saw him, she slowed down.

Lu Yao stopped and smiled:

"Team Leader Shi, what a coincidence."

Shi Mengyi walked over and looked him up and down:

"Did you come alone?"

"I came to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to deliver some wine, and also to have dinner with a friend. I just came down. Is Team Leader Shi heading back?"

Shi Mengyi didn't reply, but turned to Liang Chunlin and said:

"You go back first, I want to say a few words to Xiao Lu."

Liang Chunlin nodded, glanced at Lu Yao, got into another car across the street, and drove away.

Although he was resentful that his wife was chatting with other men, he had gotten used to it.

Who told me to live under someone else's roof?

Even if my wife chats with other men, or even sleeps with other men, what can I do about it?
