Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Liu Weidong was stunned when Wei Wanqing said that, and only one thought filled his mind: Finally, a rich woman wants to take care of me!

Moreover, this wealthy woman is a young, beautiful, and sophisticated woman; such excellent conditions are definitely the life many people dream of.

However, Liu Weidong was only momentarily stunned before quickly regaining his composure and sincerely saying to Wei Wanqing, "Senior Sister, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I appreciate your kindness, but... I still want to do something on my own, so I can't accept your invitation. I'm sorry!"

Liu Weidong was his own boss in his previous life, and now that he's been reborn, there's even less reason for him to work for someone else.

With the experience and insight Liu Weidong accumulated in his previous life, coupled with his understanding of global trends, he is sure to achieve even greater success in this life. Of course, he won't change his lofty goals just because of an invitation from a beautiful woman.

Liu Weidong's straightforward rejection caused a flicker of disappointment to cross Wei Wanqing's pretty face, but she quickly snorted, "Fine, don't come then. Do you really think you're so great? Humph!"

Looking at the proud and strong woman, Liu Weidong couldn't help but smile. After all, she was still not even thirty, and she retained some of the girlish naiveté, making her quite adorable.

"You still dare to laugh!" Wei Wanqing was even more indignant now, and was about to pinch Liu Weidong's soft flesh at the waist again.

"Hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists!" Liu Weidong quickly blocked the strong woman's hand and said sincerely to her, "But don't worry, senior sister, although I won't work for you, just ask me if you ever need my help. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

Wei Wanqing then stopped and asked, "Really?"

"Absolutely true!" Liu Weidong immediately and decisively agreed.

But Wei Wanqing persisted, saying, "I don't believe you unless you swear it!"

Despite being a capable and strong woman, she was now acting like a little girl in love. Helpless, Liu Weidong could only raise one hand and say, "I swear, I will never let my senior sister down. I will try my best to meet any request she makes. Is that alright?"

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Wei Wanqing was finally satisfied, but her pretty face quickly flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Liu Weidong, saying, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back first!"

After finishing her speech, the strong woman turned and left, leaving Liu Weidong with a slender and tall figure.

Watching Wei Wanqing walk away quickly, Liu Weidong muttered to himself, bewildered, "She was fine just now, why did she suddenly get angry again..."

At this point, Liu Weidong came to his senses and finally understood why the strong woman acted this way. It really wasn't her fault; it was just that what Liu Weidong had said was too easily misunderstood. It sounded like he was making a vow to his girlfriend, no wonder Wei Wanqing reacted this way!

Recalling Wei Wanqing's reaction just now, she didn't seem angry at all, just a little shy. This surprised Liu Weidong secretly. Could this strong woman actually have feelings for him?

However, Liu Weidong had many things to consider right now and didn't have time to think about such romantic matters. After Wei Wanqing left, he also rode his bicycle back to the state-run hotel.

Hao Jianjun was still waiting for Liu Weidong at the door. When he saw him, he immediately came up to him and said, "Brother Weidong, I have settled the bill with Manager Li. We collected a total of 363 catties of eggs this time. After deducting the 20 catties that the kid kicked and damaged, we sold 343 catties of eggs to the restaurant."

At this point, Hao Jianjun handed a stack of money to Liu Weidong and then continued, "Today, the price of eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative is 1.2 yuan per jin, and here it is 411.6 yuan. Please count it."

Liu Weidong took the money without even glancing at it, stuffed it into his pocket, and laughed, "You're pretty good, kid. You've kept the accounts clear. You've improved!"

But Hao Jianjun scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Actually, Manager Li did all the calculations for me, haha!"

Liu Weidong didn't know what to say to his unambitious brother. He glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's grab something to eat first, then head home!"

"Don't rush off!" Hao Jianjun stopped Liu Weidong and said, "Someone at the restaurant is looking for you. They've been waiting for a long time. It seems to be related to that purchasing agent."

Liu Weidong immediately understood what was going on, and said with a cold smile, "Fine, let's go see what tricks they're up to!"

When Liu Weidong introduced himself as Li Kun, and revealed that he had come with Criminal Investigation Captain Wang Jianzhong, he smiled broadly and offered Liu Weidong a cigarette, saying, "Comrade Liu, please have a smoke. Captain Wang and I came together because we have something to discuss with you!"

"Sorry, I don't smoke." Liu Weidong refused Li Kun's cigarette without hesitation, looking at Wang Jianzhong beside him with a half-smile.

Wang Jianzhong quickly distanced himself from the situation: "Comrade Liu, I'm just bringing a representative of the other party to meet with you to see if there's any possibility of a settlement in the case of him damaging your property. This is normal case-handling procedure, and I won't interfere with whatever decision you make!"

Liu Weidong then smiled slightly and said, "I'm relieved to hear Captain Wang's words."

Wang Jianzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time found it very strange. As the captain of the criminal investigation team, he was actually feeling uneasy under the gaze of this young farmer. Just who was this guy?

Seeing that Liu Weidong wouldn't take his cigarette, Li Kun wasn't angry. He still smiled and said, "Comrade Liu, I'm here on behalf of Wu Fei to reconcile with you. I heard he accidentally kicked over your eggs earlier..."

Before Li Kun could finish speaking, Liu Weidong coldly interrupted him: "Comrade Li, I need to correct two points. First, this is not just hearsay, but something that actually happened! Second, Wu Fei didn't accidentally kick over my eggs; he did it on purpose. These two points must be clarified."

Li Kun still wanted to get away with it, so he continued to lie, "Hey, Comrade Liu, don't be so serious. This matter hasn't been investigated properly yet."

"Captain Wang investigated this case personally. You can ask him what happened right now," Liu Weidong said firmly. "If we can't reach an agreement on these two points, there's no need to continue talking!"

Wang Jianzhong nodded secretly in agreement. This young man was meticulous in his work; Wu Fei had really kicked a hornet's nest.

Now Li Kun was a little embarrassed. He took out a thick wad of ten-yuan bills from his pocket and said, "Here is the compensation that Wu Fei's family asked me to give you. It's a full thousand yuan. After you accept it, just pretend this never happened!"

This guy didn't even ask Liu Weidong if he was willing to accept the money, he seemed very confident, as if he was sure that the other party would not refuse.

Even Wang Jianzhong thought so; that was a whole thousand yuan! These days, few people could refuse such a huge sum of money.

However, Liu Weidong's reaction surprised everyone.
