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

Yang Bai took his daughter for a walk around the village, but then drove back because he had a dinner party that evening.

After parking the motorcycle, Yang Bai carried his daughter down and asked...

"Are you all ready? We're heading to the big hotel in the county town right now."

Yang Jun straightened his brand-new blue short-sleeved shirt and said.

"I've been prepared for this for a while now. How about my new clothes? Aren't they stylish?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Yang Bai looked at his wife and daughter, then at his beloved car.

A motorcycle can carry three people plus a child, but the risk is too great; he's afraid of crashing on the road.

With Special Envoy Zhang present, his actions amounted to blatant illegality.

"Ningning, Wanqiu, how about we play rock-paper-scissors and get on my motorcycle?"

Zhang Ning shook his head and pushed Wanqiu forward.

"Late Autumn will go with you. I'll ride my bicycle. Besides, you're coming back to my hometown with me tomorrow, so let's take turns."

Tomorrow is only two days away from her brother's wedding, and two days is just the right amount of time to travel by motorcycle.

Yang Bai thought about it carefully and realized it made sense, so he gave instructions to the brothers around him.

"If you don't have a bicycle, ride my tricycle. Please take care of Ningning on the road and make sure she doesn't fall."

"Brother Zhang, why don't you ride Wanqiu's bicycle?"

Zhang Dezhu shook his head.

"Secretary Ma borrowed a tractor, and I rode on it."

As he spoke, Ma Hou drove his tractor to the front of the door.

Everything is ready.

The group headed to the county town's grand hotel.

Yang Bai drove his motorcycle along the dirt road to the county town, with his daughter in front of him and Wanqiu sitting behind him.

Wanqiu gently wrapped her arms around Yang Bai's waist, a delicate fragrance lingering around his nose, his back pressed against her soft, warm body, the warmth slowly spreading up his clothes as they bumped along the way.

The road was peaceful and serene.

Yang Bai arrived first on his motorcycle. He took Wanqiu and his daughter into the restaurant and was immediately recognized by the waiter.

"You must be Comrade Yang Bai."

The waiter asked politely.

Yang Bai nodded. "Yes, did Manager Hou remind you of that?"

Hou Sanli was going to take care of all the arrangements for the dinner party, so they must have received instructions from him.

The waiter made a professional smile and gesture.

"Yes, Manager Hou said there were too many people, so he opened two rooms. I need to take you and your family up with him."

"In addition, the share of bluefin tuna will not be small either."

"Okay. By the way, Ms. Zhang Ning will be coming in soon. She's family too. Please bring her to my private room."

Yang Bai agreed, and Hou Sanli probably brought quite a few people with him, since the restaurant's large private room could seat twelve people.

If no more people are added, a few more chairs will be sufficient.

"I understand, please."

The waiter led Yang Bai to a private room on the fourth floor.

Pushing open the door, Hou Sanli was already there, sitting to one side drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. Hearing the noise, he turned around, put down his teacup, and stood up.

"Xiao Yang, and your ex-sister-in-law, Qiaoqiao. Please sit down."

He gestured for Yang Bai to go up and sit down.

The seat is right next to the main seat, but the main seat is left empty.

Yang Bai sat down and looked at the empty seat that had been specially reserved for him.

"Manager Hou, did you invite someone very important? I thought it was a family member coming."

Hou Sanli waved his hand.

"I'll definitely take this opportunity to entertain my distinguished guest with bluefin tuna; my wife and kids at home understand my predicament."

"We'll compensate them when we have the chance later. The most important thing this time is our distinguished guests."

"As for who the distinguished guest is, we'll find out when they arrive."

Hou Sanli left a hook here.

Yang Bai became curious about who the person who came was, that he would go to such lengths to invite them.

Zhang Ning walked in from behind, accompanied by his brothers from the fleet.

Yang Jun asked, "Brother Yang, this dinner is no fun without you. Why did Manager Hou arrange two private rooms?"

They only found out when they arrived that they had been divided into two private rooms. They were all family members who had come all the way to a big restaurant in the county town, but they were being separated into two tables.

They said they were satisfied, but that's definitely not true. They should have just gathered at Yang Bai's house, so they came to ask.

Hou Sanli greeted them and said, trying to reassure them.

"Brothers who work on ships, I know I didn't handle things very well today."

But I've invited a big shot who's important to the development of the fishing company and can help you earn more.

Please be understanding; the food next door is the same as this place.

After hearing Hou Sanli's explanation, they chose to believe him.

A high-ranking leader is coming, and it's really not appropriate for these people to stay here with him.

If they can close more deals and earn more money in the future, they will naturally become more proactive.

Yang Jun nodded.

"Alright, Manager Hou, we're not unreasonable roughnecks. Since you're willing to let us make more money for the company's development, we won't say anything. Brothers, let's go."

The fishermen around them all ran into the private room next door.

Zhang Ning sat next to Su Wanqiu.

Ma Hou and Zhang Dezhu were seated after them.

Zhang Dezhu couldn't help but feel curious.

"Manager Hou, just tell us who the important person is. They should be here by now anyway."

Hou Sanli glanced at his watch and nodded slightly.

"He is Chen Ming, the director of the regional fisheries bureau."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room slowly opened.

A kind-looking middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in.

He officially became the director of the Fisheries Bureau of Fuhai District.

Yang Bai remembered that he was by the side when the commissioner came last time.

"Hello, Director Chen."

Chen Ming saw Yang Bai stride forward and extend his hand, saying, "Your reputation among the fishermen of Fuhai is quite high now."

Yang Bai smiled and shook his head.

"Everywhere you go, it's all just rumors spreading outside."

The leader in front of me is at the division level, and he has the final say on all aquatic products in the region.

No wonder Hou Sanli was so serious; how could his direct superior not be?

It's really impossible to invite someone of his caliber; it's probably only by using the bluefin tuna and myself that I managed to invite him over.

According to the previous life, the head of the aquatic products company is about to retire, and there are many people eyeing the vacancy that will soon be open.

Hou Sanli only officially took over as the top leader four years later, after the leader was found to be corrupt.

If Hou Sanli performs well at this dinner party, he might be able to become president ahead of schedule, since he has already disrupted the timeline of this world.

He wouldn't be surprised by anything that happened.

"Where did this rumor come from? Developing the Widow's Sea, catching 30,000 tons of tuna—you've done things that fishermen could never accomplish in their entire lives. How can this be a rumor?"

Chen Ming sat down in the main seat, and several of his clerks followed him.

Yang Bai poured Chen Ming a glass of wine, "These are indeed true."

Chen Ming looked at the three women and pointed at them, asking a question.

"These must be your two ex-daughters-in-law and youngest daughter, the ones that's been making headlines all over the place, right? Introduce them?"

Yang Bai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the director of the regional fisheries bureau would know about such gossip.
