Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

"Lü Yao, you're too free."

In the bright sunshine of Chengdu, Boss Wang spoke earnestly to Lü Yao.

When Lü Yao heard these words, all he could do was remain silent.

Are you free?
It's not really that free, is it?

Although he is not married, he has deep ties with the people around him. Whether it is Wang Shu, Jian Xiaojie, Rong Nianqing, Gan Xiaoxi, or even Monica, whom he has not seen for a long time, boss Chen Xing, and Lü Yao, his relationship with them is not bad.

If these people are in trouble, Lü Yao will definitely lend a hand and will never stand idly by.

As for children... whether they are his children with Lee Yong-jin in Silla, or Wang Su's children with him now, they can all become what Boss Wang calls "possessions".

Boss Wang, however, seemed to see through Lü Yao's thoughts and continued, "You may think these things are unnecessary, but they're not just so-called 'concerns' for outsiders to see; they're the 'foundation' that makes those who want to follow you place their bets."

Lü Yao was no fool; he immediately understood when Boss Wang mentioned this.

The so-called "fundamental" thing, to put it bluntly, is the "investment return on investment cycle ratio".

In Boss Wang's circle, many people are quite old. If Lü Yao enters Boss Wang's circle, those who are about the same age as Boss Wang will find it difficult to enjoy the returns from their investment in Lü Yao. Therefore, it will be necessary to ask the younger generation of their families or more young talents to help Lü Yao.

In this way, the interests of both parties are deeply intertwined. If the resources that Lü Yao obtains in this venue cannot be passed on, it means that their investment cycle and return cycle are not proportional.

In this circle, everyone is promoted through connections and favors.

Newcomers like Lü Yao, once they enter this system, are basically guaranteed to benefit from its advantages for two generations.

Once a family has been in business for more than three generations, it will inevitably encounter various problems. Although it may not lead to the family's collapse, it will be necessary to make a retreat. In this world, every inch of space is contested, so established big-name families are seeking various forms of support to get through a difficult period.

Although Lü Yao has a child and is surrounded by many women, it's far from enough.

People in Boss Wang's circle need Lü Yao to have a "family" that can be presented publicly, and this family needs to be large and prosperous, producing a few outstanding individuals to inherit Lü Yao's legacy.

In ancient times, this would have been considered the "foundation of the state."

This was a means devised by various feudal lords after the Han Dynasty's "Decree of Grace" to counterbalance the "Decree of Grace".

Lu Yao pondered for a while before saying, "I understand. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Boss Wang said, "It needs to be done as soon as possible, at most within a year."

He got married a year later and had a child two years later. At that time, Lü Yao was thirty-one or thirty-two. He started from the bottom and made a big promotion every five years. After more than ten years, he was able to enter the level where Boss Wang was. He went around in various positions in this circle and became familiar with all aspects of things. After ten years of accumulation, he could rise to a higher level.

Boss Wang had already made preparations for Lü Yao's future.

In the resume he arranged for Lü Yao, he was able to form a mutually supportive relationship with his juniors and even the younger members of his family.

Boss Wang's arrangements were ingenious, and the timing of Lü Yao's appearance was also "perfectly timed." Therefore, Boss Wang had high hopes for Lü Yao, and Lü Yao did not disappoint Boss Wang. In front of Boss Wang, he readily agreed: "In two months, I will represent Rongzong to attend an international conference. That conference is quite important. So when I come back, I will start preparing for it."

Boss Wang laughed heartily and said, "Great, great! Little Lü, you are truly young and promising. To be able to represent Rongzong at an international conference at such a young age, let me tell you, I hadn't been abroad until I was forty. Once I had the time and opportunity to go abroad, there were too many constraints."

"That's good too. Being able to participate in important conferences abroad and bring back results will be a great help to your future career."

Then Boss Wang started gossiping with Lü Yao: "I had a classmate who studied foreign languages ​​and later went into diplomacy. He was abroad for many years and only recently returned to China to take on a management role in an important state-owned enterprise. Because of his experience studying and learning abroad, he is very convincing in his words and actions after returning."

"Plus, that guy is very smart, and I heard he's already a candidate for a senior position at the think tank." Boss Wang sighed and said, "Back when he was stationed abroad for diplomacy, we all wondered why he chose this path. Later, after he returned to China and took on important positions in major companies, we also said he had gone astray."

"But I never expected that after going around in circles, he would actually achieve the same success around the same time as me." Boss Wang sighed and affirmed to Lü Yao, "So, if you go abroad and do your job well, all your contributions will not be forgotten."

Lü Yao smiled and said, "I definitely will."

After talking with Boss Wang, Lü Yao returned to his car. Not long after, Lin Yongzhen appeared out of nowhere and got into Lü Yao's car.

Lu Yao curiously peered into the direction Lin Yongzhen had come from. He clearly remembered that there was no one in the direction Lin Yongzhen had come from, but she had just appeared out of nowhere.

This was the first time Lu Yao had ever witnessed such a skill, so he asked curiously, "You didn't receive special agent training, did you? You know, the kind of special agent who appears and disappears in a flash."

Lin Yongzhen suppressed a laugh and said, "What are you talking about? Those are just techniques for using the surrounding terrain to cover up operations. They're just petty tricks."

Lu Yao was shocked: "No, you really studied it?"

Lin Yongzhen smiled and said, "Yes~"

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, her beautiful face radiating a touch of smugness, as if to say, "Come on, praise me!" Lu Yao, not one to hold back his praise, excitedly exclaimed, "Wow! Is it really that amazing? Come on, tell me, what's inside? Is it like the ones advertised in Hollywood movies?"

At this moment, Lü Yao was just like a child who hadn't grown up, unable to move when he saw a particularly straight wooden stick.

Lin Yongzhen used to resent the things she was forced to learn, but now she feels a little excited about them—"He likes them, that's great!"

She explained to Lü Yao, "It's really about reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, tracking and counter-tracking, as well as the ability to disguise and infiltrate, recognize people and objects, and read information."

As she spoke, Lin Yongzhen casually pointed to a pedestrian hurrying past outside the car and said, "See that person? In the few seconds that the person is hurrying past you, you need to quickly remember their distinctive features and the characteristics that may be carrying information, and then interpret them."

what?
Lu Yao was completely puzzled: "Is it that difficult?"

Lin Yongzhen laughed and said, "It's not difficult, the key is to form a conditioned reflex. Beyond a simple glance, you need to do a lot of common sense and basic principle training. I'm not a professional in this field, so my academic performance is just so-so, but it's enough."

Lu Yao started the car, preparing to go back: "You're definitely being modest. I think you're incredibly amazing!"

Lin Yongzhen: "If you say it's amazing, then it's amazing~~"

Lin Yongzhen must have endured a lot of hardship in the process of learning these skills, but Lü Yao did not reopen old wounds in Lin Yongzhen's heart, but only expressed his admiration for the skills that Lin Yongzhen had already mastered.

The tactic of reopening old wounds and weakening someone is only suitable for those who are wary of you and have a relatively immature mindset. This method is ineffective against older people or those close to you, and will instead backfire.

You must remember this technique.

Because if used improperly, the consequences are often irreversible.

……

It was already afternoon when they returned to Litang from Chengdu. After a long day, Lü Yao and Lin Yongzhen tidied up and went to sleep.

The next day, Lü Yao invited the big boss from Ganzi, the boss from Litang, and the people in charge of cultural tourism and publicity to his guesthouse, and personally cooked a sumptuous meal for everyone.

As a large group of people were busy in the courtyard of the guesthouse, and wisps of smoke slowly rose from the Qingtian Plateau, many of the people filming the special episode of "Running Man" outside the guesthouse where Lü Yao was staying turned to look at the courtyard where Lü Yao and his group were.

They were not invited to Lu Yao's dinner party.

They were certainly not envious of the delicious food prepared by Lü Yao himself.

People who grow up in the great foodie empire, especially those exceptional individuals who started from an exceptionally high level, have tried every delicious food and drink imaginable. Most of the pleasures of life are easily attainable and readily available to them.

Moreover, given the conditions in Lü Yao's courtyard, what delicious food could he possibly prepare on his own?

What truly captivated many members of the "Running Man" team was the social circle within that small courtyard.

In the past, people like the Marquis of a Hundred Miles or the Earl of a Thousand Miles in places like western Sichuan wouldn't have cared about them.

However, because of Lü Yao's presence, this group's status in Sichuan will definitely be different in the future. In addition, with the information they have gathered through various channels during this period, Lü Yao is only one leap away from truly achieving great success.

As soon as he jumps, a fierce celestial wind from the nine heavens will sweep down and lift Lü Yao up.

Unfortunately.

None of them could catch Lü Yao's eye. All they could do was to do their current job well and try to leave a good impression on Lü Yao, or to forge a good relationship with him in Litang.

People may not remember you for doing good deeds.

But if you do something wrong, it will definitely be remembered.

These variety show personalities have been in the entertainment industry for so long, they understand such simple and obvious principles.

In the courtyard of the guesthouse.

The food Lü Yao prepared wasn't anything special, just a large pot of simple beef stew. A large pot of beef, which had been stewed in a pressure cooker, was poured into the wood-fired stove, and then various vegetables were added. The big pot was bubbling and steaming, and it looked very appetizing.

Later, make flatbreads from barley flour and cornmeal with some corn grits, place them on the edge of the pot, and steam them. That will taste amazing.

This is actually the way of eating Northeastern-style iron pot stew.

However, the iron pot stew here doesn't contain goose, grouse, or pork ribs and green beans; instead, it features local specialties such as yak meat, saffron, and snow lotus.

When the large pot of food was almost finished, Lü Yao arranged small tables in a circle around the wood-fired stove, and then personally took charge of cooking and serving the dishes to everyone.

This scene really got everyone present incredibly excited.

What does this mean?
This means that from now on, we're all in the same boat! We all came from this remote corner of western Sichuan! We've all contributed to the economic development of western Sichuan together! And Lü Yao is also a seeded player reserved by the imperial family!

All these factors combined instantly transformed what seemed like a rather shabby banquet into a high-class affair.

Through the ages.

Aren't countless people who achieve great things gathered together in such simple environments?
Xiang Yu's eight hundred Jiangdong disciples swept across the land.

Two Phoenixes and eight hundred soldiers dared to seize the great treasure.

Zhu Di's eight hundred personal guards dared to rise up in rebellion.

Although their group doesn't number eight hundred, those who have become marquises of a hundred li or earls of a thousand li are certainly not lacking in ability. Especially marquises of a hundred li from such a remote and impoverished place... Their origins may be ordinary, but their skills are undiminished. For them, all they lack to rise to prominence is an opportunity.

Right now, Lü Yao is their opportunity!
After personally serving the stew, Lü Yao, who was in charge of cooking, finished distributing the stew in the pot. He then raised a glass of wine and addressed everyone, saying, "I called you all here today mainly because there are some things I want to tell you. As you all know, I just came back from Boss Wang's place yesterday. I reached several in-depth cooperation agreements with Boss Wang, and he was very happy. He even urged me to get married."

The crowd couldn't help but chuckle. Although their expressions remained unchanged, their hearts were as warm as the wood-fired stove behind Lü Yao.

Lu Yao knew he had achieved his goal just from the change in the group's eyes, so he didn't delve into the topic further. Instead, he continued, "Although I had a very pleasant chat with Boss Wang and enjoyed getting along with everyone, I still need to leave here for a while."

Upon hearing this, many people sitting around the stove were immediately stunned.

No! Why are you leaving already?

Mr. Lü, your bright future lies right here! This is where you will make your mark!

The big boss from Ganzi was the first to get anxious: "You didn't even tell us beforehand."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Because it's not a big deal. In June, I'm going abroad to attend a long international conference. This conference is very important, so I need to leave here for a while and go back to prepare in advance."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and their anxiety subsided.

The big boss from Ganzi laughed and said, "This is great news! I hope you, Mr. Lü, will achieve great success at the international conference! Come, let's all raise a glass to Mr. Lü's invincible and unstoppable success!"

"May General Manager Lü be invincible and successful in everything he does!"
