Chapter 307 - She heard footsteps and talking coming from the outside. (1)

She thought about it long and hard, and it seemed that Su Yueshen would most likely be the person who had done it.
She had no idea who Su Yueshen was, but those who were sent to farms in the 60s and 70s were all very powerful individuals.
Those who were among the first to be reinstated were the most powerful of them all.
It was now 1976, the announcement would not come till next month. Nevertheless, Su Yueshen had already been reinstated. That ought to show that he had a very powerful background.
She had rescued his son, and he was thanking her with the position of restaurant manager.
Tong Xuelu felt that that was the most likely scenario.
Now that the letter of appointment had arrived, she definitely would not turn down the opportunity.
Why have someone else manage her when she could be the one managing the others?
Tong Xuelu wanted to share the news with Wen Rugui the minute she received the letter of assignment.
Thus, she tidied up her things and left with Tong Mianmian.
Arriving at the post office, she dialed the number that she had already committed to memory.
The call was connected quickly. It was still the same female voice. She, too, seemed to have recognized Tong Xuelu’s voice.
Wen Rugui quickly came this time.
“It’s me.”
The corners of Tong Xuelu’s lips curved upward as soon as she heard his voice. “Guess what good news I have for you?”
The corners of Wen Rugui’s lips curved upward as well. “I can’t.”
If she was still in modern times, Tong Xuelu might be coquettish or teased him a little bit more. But now there were others staring at her while she was on the phone, and most importantly, the call was costing her 10 cents per minute!
She must cut to the chase. “I was just named the manager of the government-operated restaurant!”
Wen Rugui took a second to process that. “Congratulations! I trust that you are more than able to handle that role.”
Tong Xuelu’s lips curved upward. “I think so too. Oh right, I want to treat everyone to dinner. Can you come?”
Wen Rugui didn’t even think about it. “Yes, I can.”
Tong Xuelu’s smile thickened. “Okay, I will be waiting then.”
Wen Rugui acknowledged her. He finally hung up the phone and stared at the phone longingly after Tong Xuelu had already disconnected.
An Yuemei stared at Wen Rugui the entire time.
She suddenly summoned up her courage and asked after he hung up the phone, “Researcher Wen, was that your girlfriend who called?”
Wen Rugui looked tender. He nodded and said, “Yes, that was my girlfriend.”
My girlfriend.
He felt that that’s the two best words in the world.
Having said that, he turned and left with a hint of a smile on his face.
An Yuemei’s mouth formed into an “O”. She didn’t recollect herself until after Wen Rugui had disappeared around the corner.
This time, she was so excited that she had even forgotten about her mug. She ran straight over to the office next to her.
“Oh my gosh! You would never guess what I have just heard!”
“What is it?”
An Yuemei enunciated one word at a time. “Researcher Wen just told me that he! Has! A! girlfriend!”
“No way! Are you serious?”
“I wanted to introduce him to my cousin!”
“Me too! My cousin had been nagging me to set me up with him ever since she saw him last time she was here!”
An Yuemei nodded heavily. “Of course, it is true. Research Wen had confirmed it to me in person!”
Whimpering noises could be heard all over the office.
With An Yuemei helping spread the word, the entire base quickly found out that Wen Rugui had a girlfriend!
Many single men came and asked Wen Rugui how he was able to get himself a girlfriend, but most of them were curious about what Wen Rugui’s girlfriend was like.
They wanted to find out if she was a superhuman. How else would she have been able to bag herself a man like Wen Rugui?

In addition to Wen Rugui, Tong Xuelu had also phoned Pu Jianyi, Jiang Danhung, and Fang Jingyuan.
She didn’t tell them that she had been appointed as the new manager, just that she was hosting and asked if they wanted to come.
All of them confirmed that they would be coming.
With Tong Xuelu’s cooking being so amazing, they would make time if they had to!
