Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

The county town hotel.

Currently, the fourth floor is closed to visitors to welcome regional leaders, so the private rooms have been reserved on the third floor.

Yang Jun was very curious about everything here.

This was his first time in a private room at a large hotel in the county town.

"Wow, rich people are living it up here. It's much better than me planting peanuts in the yard."

Liu Dade was somewhat reserved as he entered this place; even his ordinary clothes looked a bit worn in the private room.

"Xiao Yang, isn't it a waste that there are only the three of us in this private room?"

Yang Bai found a good spot to sit down and poured warm tea into the porcelain bowl to scald his chopsticks.

"Money is meant to be spent, and besides, you two put in a lot of effort, so I'd feel bad if I didn't treat you to a proper meal."

"Old Liu, have a seat. If you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it with you. It's no waste."

At Liu Dade's age, having been frugal his whole life, it's normal for him to feel it's a waste to come to this kind of occasion.

Upon hearing this, Liu Dade slowly sat down.

The waiter brought a bottle of Wuliangye liquor and several bottles of soda and placed them on the table.

A case of beer was placed on the ground.

Yang Jun got up, picked up a bottle of beer, tried to open the metal cap with his teeth, tilted his head back and gulped it down.

The refreshing taste of the beer was soothing and invigorating that he let out an "Ah!" and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"That feels great! Yang, wanna have a bottle?"

Yang Bai shook his head.

"No need, don't get drunk, I'll have to take you home later."

"Brother Yang is really spoiling his wife more and more, Lao Liu, how about it?"

Yang Jun picked up a bottle of beer and asked.

Liu Dade nodded.

"Give it to me, I haven't had beer in ages."

Yang Bai opened a bottle of soda and peeled peanuts, and soon all the main dishes were served.

Yang Jun's mouth watered at the aroma; he had never seen so many dishes at a banquet before.

The dishes were all fish and meat, making vegetables seem somewhat superfluous.

"Brother Yang, I've eaten."

"Eat."

Yang Bai picked up a piece of braised pork belly and placed it on top of the rice. He then scooped up a spoonful of rice containing the meat and its juices.

One bite, and I wouldn't trade it for even a god.

The three of them ate and chatted in the small private room.

It quickly went from noon to night.

It was around six o'clock.

Yang Jun has a decent alcohol tolerance; he downed half a case of beer and only had a slightly flushed face after drinking half a bottle of baijiu.

In contrast, Liu Dade seemed somewhat dizzy.

The dishes on the table were almost completely devoured by the time we finished eating them at noon.

"Let's go."

Yang Bai helped Liu Dade up from beside him.

The three of them went downstairs together.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I saw cars parked in front of the grand hotel, and leaders getting out of them one by one.

The restaurant owner and his staff greeted them downstairs.

Looking at the scene, Yang Jun asked, "Brother Yang, these must be the regional leaders."

Yang Bai nodded slightly.

"That's right. With such a large entourage, they're probably special envoys."

Regional Commissioner, equivalent to today's mayor at the prefectural level.

This inspection is about the allocation of fishery resources for next year, and it is normal for a leader of this rank to come and inspect.

In my past life, it was also this same seafood-loving commissioner who came down to inspect the area.

A single sentence can determine the fate of a county.

"This is my first time meeting a regional leader. I'm so excited just thinking about how he'll praise our fish."

Yang Jun rubbed his hands together. If it weren't for Yang Bai, he would never have imagined that the seafood he caught would one day appear on the table of the regional leaders.

Upon hearing the presence of a high-ranking leader, Liu Dade groggily woke up and immediately stood up, leaning against the wall for support.

"Commissioner, we can't let him see a drunkard. Xiao Yang, you'll have a chance to show him what you're capable of.

Yang Bai laughed.

"Why would I go up there for no reason? What am I supposed to do? Old Liu, just stand there quietly."

Unless Dai Yongchun asks him to introduce him to the commissioner, going up there on his own would be like walking into the line of fire.

Even the good impressions left from before will be swept away.

A middle-aged man with a fuller figure and wearing a Zhongshan suit walked first.

He was Chen Sanqiang, the commissioner of the regional administrative office.

Accompanying him were the deputy commissioner in charge of aquatic products, the county head, and Deputy County Head Dai Yongchun.

This lineup is quite rare, even year-round.

As Dai Yongchun walked through the lobby, he saw Yang Bai and nodded to him in greeting.

Yang Bai nodded in response; in this kind of situation, a subtle and suggestive response was the most appropriate.

Chen Sanqiang seemed to notice Dai Yongchun's actions and asked, "Comrade Dai Yongchun, who were you greeting just now?"

Dai Yongchun replied, "Commissioner Chen is a young fisherman with great ability and the capacity to develop the Widow Sea."

"Widow Sea?"

Chen Sanqiang, however, became interested. He had studied the region's fishing industry and found that the Widow Sea was rich in resources but difficult to develop.

The seafood there is exceptional, and some people have even managed to develop Widow Sea.

"So, the seafood on this table is from the Widow Sea?"

Dai Yongchun smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Commissioner Chen, you can look forward to it."

"I see. I'm quite looking forward to it. What's the name of the young man who can develop Widow's Sea?"

Chen Sanqiang took the initiative to inquire, and found that if the Widow Sea were utilized, the region's fishery would be able to develop even more.

"Yang Bai," Dai Yongchun said in a low voice.

The group then went up the stairs.

Yang Bai patted the two of them twice.

"go home."

This time it wasn't a loss. Just getting a chance to show his face in front of the commissioner, even if he slips a little something out of his fingertips, would be enough to make him rich.

After leaving the restaurant, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things before returning to the village.

The tricycle was parked in the yard.

The three women came out together when they heard the commotion.

The moment the three women saw Yang Bai, tears streamed down their faces.

They hadn't expected that they would miss Yang Bai to this extent after only two days apart.

Yang Qiaoqiao ran over with her little feet clattering, and hugged Yang Bai tightly.

"Dad, you're finally back! Qiaoqiao missed you so much."

Yang Bai picked up Yang Qiaoqiao, touched her nose with his own, and asked.

How much do you miss your dad?

Yang Qiaoqiao gestured with her hands outstretched.

"I really, really want to."

The two women wiped away their tears and went over to help carry the things.

Yang Bai asked with a smile.

"You two, have you missed me these past few days?"

Su Wanqiu snorted coldly.

"I wasn't thinking about you at all. Come in quickly, I'll boil some water for you to take a bath."

Zhang Ning blushed.

"I think it's just a little bit, I'll come back earlier next time."

Yang Bai said, holding his daughter.

"Qiaoqiao, you must never be a woman who says one thing and means another."

The two women turned around at the same time.

One is deserted, the other is budding.

"Who are you calling a hypocrite?"

"I'm not being hypocritical. I think you really only have, a little bit, a... little bit."

"Okay, okay, that's fine."

Yang Bai completely surrendered.

After taking a shower, Yang Bai sat in a chair and recounted the events of the past two days.

The two women's expressions kept changing.

"You said that Deputy County Head Dai thinks highly of you and even mentioned you to the commissioner?"

As a lady from a prominent family, Su Wanqiu was well aware of what this meant.

Businessmen value connections above all else. Of course, capitalists don't exist now, but if Yang Bai wants to make a lot of money, he must build up his network.

Once the deputy county head establishes connections, many things in the county will naturally fall into place.
