My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Lin Sheng wasn't happy with the rejection and continued, "Nancheng receives so many foreign guests, why would they even go to such great lengths to borrow the guesthouse's chef?"

Faced with the questioning of a regular customer, the restaurant manager could only whisper, "To be honest, tomorrow's foreign guest is an absolutely important figure. I heard he's a world-renowned physics expert who has returned to his country specifically to aid in the country's construction. How can we not take him seriously?"

There was nothing more to say. Director Zhang also said with a smile: "We saw that the security standards near Nancheng Station were quite high. I guess it's not likely to deal with ordinary foreign guests. Lao Lin, forget it."

Lin Sheng was a well-known figure in the South City business community. He couldn't let it go easily after being humiliated in front of guests from Luancheng who had come all the way from there. "How can this be? I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant..."

"The chefs from all the big restaurants in South City have been invited to the Jinxing Hotel because the higher-ups haven't figured out the tastes of the physics expert and his wife yet. They're all on standby."

The restaurant manager interrupted Lin Sheng very politely, which made Lin Sheng look unhappy.

"He's just a physics expert. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss to welcome him?"

"You may not know this, but this physics expert is a top graduate of National Tsing Hua University, winner of numerous awards abroad, and a prominent figure whom the US would rather keep under house arrest than allow back home.

Our country had to use diplomatic means to get him the opportunity to return home. If possible, staying to build the motherland would be an intangible asset.

Everyone, tell me, how can we not value this kind of talent from top to bottom?"

In one breath, the restaurant manager spilled out everything he knew, his eyes full of envy.

Lin Sheng sighed heavily. As a mere businessman, what right did he have to argue with such a powerful figure? He smiled bitterly, admitting his bad luck, and shrugged with his hands spread out: "Looks like I'll just have to deal with it casually tonight."

The physics expert mentioned by the restaurant manager sounds very important. It seems that Gu Changhong's visit is also related to the arrival of a big shot in South City. The person who can make the Ministry of Industry send people south to welcome him must be no simple person.

Zhou Ruoyu, living in the future, quickly recalled in her mind the physics experts who had supported national construction during difficult times in history. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she asked the restaurant manager, "Is the physics expert called Chen Ce?"

Chen Ce is the founder of a well-known communications equipment company she knows. It is said that he returned to China to start a business after overcoming numerous difficulties.

The domestic brand of mobile phones he founded has remained strong even in the smoke-filled communications war, and even defeated foreign brands, creating huge economic profits and honor for the country.

The restaurant manager stared at her with wide eyes, an expression of disbelief: "Girl, how did you know? His list has always been kept secret from the outside world. Only the relevant personnel involved in the reception know his name."

"I guessed." Zhou Ruoyu blurted out something, but she didn't want to explain, so she just dealt with it casually.

"The Jinxing Hotel is right next to our guesthouse. We'll be able to see the real faces of this important figure and his entire family tomorrow."

After hearing so much, Xiao Li, the youngest and most curious, was eager to try something new. She leaned close to Zhou Ruoyu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, do you think this important person has three heads and six arms? I wonder if they came here on clouds."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled and tapped her nose: "Silly child, they are just ordinary people. Since you are so curious, let's take a look tomorrow."

After eating some noodles, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After two days of traveling, everyone was exhausted. Fortunately, the guesthouse was right next to the heavily guarded Jinxing Hotel, so there was no danger.

Their schedule was not too tight, so they slept until dawn.

When she and Xiao Li finished washing up and came out, Li Ming was sitting on the sofa in the lobby drinking tea, looking very leisurely.

"Where's Uncle Zhang?"

"He and Director Lin went to buy breakfast and asked me to wait for you here."

"Oh, Xiao Gao and Xiao Jiang haven't woken up yet?"

"They left a long time ago, saying they would meet up with us when they left. Now they say they have something else to do."

After chatting with Li Ming for a few minutes, Director Zhang and Lin Sheng came back.

"Xiao Zhou, South City is truly filled with delicious food. You can buy all kinds of food without even using food coupons. Look, there's even spicy hot pot!"

Sure enough, the table was filled with roujiamo, malatang, rice noodle rolls...snacks from all over the world.

"You've never seen so many delicious foods in Luancheng. See? This is a definite business opportunity." Director Zhang looked greedy.

Shortly after breakfast, all the waiters in the guesthouse started running out in unison.

"what happened?"

"Let's go to the Jinxing Hotel to watch the fun. Hurry up, hurry up..."

The waiters put down their work and hurried to the door of the guesthouse.

"Sister Xiaoyu, hurry up, let's go and take a look."

Xiao Li still had a piece of food in his mouth, mumbling something hurriedly, and pulled her hand and walked out.

Standing behind a group of waiters, the two people's vision was completely blocked, and further ahead were a group of plainclothes police officers on martial law, so there was no way they could cross the line.

Someone shouted, "Look, here they come, what a magnificent convoy!"

In a hurry, Xiao Li grabbed Zhou Ruoyu, squatted behind the crowd, and stared at the opposite side through the waiter's legs.

Several black cars drove slowly over, and the people waiting at the entrance of Jinxing Hotel began to applaud. There was also a pair of children, a boy and a girl, about ten years old, wearing white shirts, each holding a bouquet of flowers and waiting with a meticulous smile.

Seeing the two children, Zhou Ruoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Their faces were red with rouge, and their expressions and movements were exaggerated and artificial, which was very consistent with the perception of beauty for children in this era.

The car stopped and a middle-aged man in his fifties got out amid applause. He had a square face and thick eyebrows, and looked a bit like a male actor active on the sketch stage in later generations.

To be honest, he is very handsome, wearing a well-fitting suit, and has a very elegant temperament.

The driver opened the other door and a middle-aged woman got out. The woman walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with the middle-aged man, which really surprised everyone.

This woman is so beautiful. Although you can tell at a glance that she is middle-aged, that mature and reserved beauty blooms on her like a peony, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

The two energetic young men handed the two bouquets of flowers very politely to Chen Ce and his wife.

The young men stood straight and respectfully performed a standard and solemn salute.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen Ce always have a perfect smile on their faces. That smile is both friendly and elegant, making people feel extremely comfortable and happy.

A group of reporters, camera in hand, quickly gathered around them, flashes of light going off and shutter clicks ringing. Chen Ce and his wife posed cooperatively, allowing the reporters to capture this beautiful moment.

After the reporters finished filming, several leaders in uniforms from the Ministry of Industry stepped forward, shook hands warmly with Chen Ce and his wife, and began a cordial and friendly conversation.

Zhou Ruoyu, squatting behind the crowd, quietly watched everything in front of her, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the middle-aged woman.

For some reason, this lady always gave her a sense of déjà vu, but she quickly shook her head and laughed at her own wild thoughts: "How is it possible? She is the wife of a returned scholar!"

So she quickly looked away, but happened to meet the fiery gaze of Gu Changhong in the welcoming team.
