Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 564 - 563: You are the Son of Lu Township’s Chief
"That's definitely not suitable! Moreover, all the teachers are foreigners, and they want to try our Golden Mountain County's special cuisine." Lu Lei immediately said.
"Alright, after you come down the mountain, head straight to Golden Embroidery Restaurant. I'll book a private room right now. Tonight, let them rest at Golden Mountain Hotel next to Golden Embroidery Restaurant," Lu Ming said, gritting his teeth. He certainly didn't want to lose face in front of his son.
"Thanks, Dad!" Lu Lei hesitated for a moment before saying.
"You silly boy! What are you thanking your dad for!" Lu Ming's nose felt sour upon hearing this, and he took a deep breath before speaking.
It was just a simple sentence, but Lu Ming could truly feel that his son had grown up.

Lu Lei let out a "Hmm!" and then hung up the phone.
"My dad said that tonight we will go to the Golden Embroidery Restaurant, the most distinctive and arguably the best restaurant in Golden Mountain County. As for accommodation, we'll stay at the Golden Mountain Hotel nearby," Lu Lei said beamingly after hanging up his father's call.
At Lu Lei's age, it was the time when saving face was most important.
Ever since they left the train station, Sun Wenjun had been overshadowing him, which had always bothered Lu Lei, who considered himself the landlord. Now that his father had "got his back," Lu Lei finally felt like he had reclaimed some face.
"Isn't that too extravagant? Just find a place with some character for dinner; for the accommodation, it's fine to arrange for the teachers like Nico to stay at the Golden Mountain Hotel. We can squeeze in at your place for the night!" Li Chenyu and He Guizhong, who were not born into wealthy families, immediately spoke up upon hearing about restaurants and hotels.
"How can that be okay? Since you've come to Golden Mountain County, you must eat well and stay in a decent place, especially since the teachers like Nico are with us," Lu Lei insisted with wide eyes.
"Actually, in our country, we usually go Dutch. But if we really did that, I think your father would be upset. So we won't stand on ceremony with your father over the meal, but we should definitely pay for our own accommodation," said Nico and her colleagues as they exchanged glances with each other before speaking up.
"How can that be? It's not often that the four teachers come to our..." Lu Lei immediately objected.
"Come on, Lu Lei, it's already troublesome enough that we're visiting Golden Mountain. Besides, even though Nico and the others are teachers, we've all become friends after traveling together. There's no need for such formalities. Let's do as Nico suggested; it's nice that way. The four of us won't need to cram into your house, we can just get our own room in the hotel too. When we split the cost, it shouldn't be too much," Ge Dongxu said, patting Lu Lei's shoulder with a smile as he saw him objecting.
From the start of the semester till now, whether it was the one-on-one meeting with Wu Yili or the basketball game, and now with Teacher Nico, Lu Lei and the others had already sincerely come to view Ge Dongxu as their leader.
Seeing that Ge Dongxu had spoken, Lu Lei had no choice but to say, "It's arranged by my dad. We'll see what he says when the time comes; what I say doesn't matter."
While talking, the group had reached the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, shuttle buses were available for travel between the city and the countryside. There were also some Wuling minitrucks conducting business, which could carry both people and goods, and were inexpensive to buy.
Some quick-witted people with a little capital at home bought these trucks, carrying goods when necessary and passengers when not.
"Teacher Nico and the others came here in their own cars. It's not suitable for us to take a shuttle bus; let's charter a minitruck instead. This way, we can have Teacher Nico and her colleagues follow us," suggested Lv Chongliang.
"I was thinking the same thing," Lu Lei nodded, then proceeded to look for a suitable vehicle to negotiate the price.
No sooner had Lu Lei finished speaking than several minitruck drivers surrounded them, asking, "Do you need to charter a ride to Golden Mountain County town?"
"How much?" Lu Lei inquired.
The drivers glanced at each other, preparing to give their rates, when suddenly another driver walked over and said to Lu Lei, "You, you are the son of Lu the village chief, Lu Lei!"
"You, you're Uncle Liu!" Lu Lei also recognized the driver and couldn't help but express his surprise.
"Haha, it is you! I haven't seen you for six or seven years. You've turned into a young man; I almost didn't dare to recognize you," the man known as Uncle Liu said with a big smile.
"Hehe!" Lu Lei scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
"Are you going to the county town by car?" Uncle Liu asked.
"Yes," Lu Lei nodded in response.
"Then, take my truck," Uncle Liu said with a laugh.
"Sure, but how much do you charge?" Lu Lei nodded and then habitually asked.
"Charge what charge! If it hadn't been for your dad helping me back in the day, I, Liu Qinghui, would probably still be drowning in debt right now, with no chance of driving this minitruck! Your dad is a good village chief... it's a pity, I heard that now... anyway, let's not talk about that. Come on, all your friends can take my truck to town," Liu Qinghui first glared at Lu Lei, then spoke with a face full of emotion.
"Thanks, Uncle Liu. Alright, I'll go talk to Teacher Nico and the others," Lu Lei said.
"Teacher Nico? You're saying those foreign ladies are with you?" Uncle Liu instantly became nervous.
"Yeah, they are all our university teachers," Lu Lei replied.
"You educated folks are impressive, able to bring foreigners out to have fun. When we meet foreigners, we don't even know what to say," Liu Qinghui said with admiration.
"We're not that amazing. It's mainly because people like Uncle Liu haven't had much interaction with foreigners, so they seem mysterious. Actually, Teacher Nico and the others can speak some Chinese," said Lu Lei, modest on the surface but inevitably somewhat proud inside.
"Really? They can even speak Chinese!" Liu Qinghui was very surprised.
Lu Lei nodded and then said, "Uncle Liu, we're heading to Golden Embroidery Restaurant. Teacher Nico and the others drove here by themselves. Later, I'll have them follow your truck."
"Sure, no problem," Liu Qinghui replied.
"Boss, Teacher Nico's car can fit one more person. You know her well, so you can ride with her. We'll go with Uncle Liu," Lu Lei said to Ge Dongxu after finalizing with Uncle Liu.
"You go with Nico and the others. You're familiar with the place here. In case they get lost, they won't be totally clueless," Ge Dongxu said.
Lu Lei was about to insist when Ge Dongxu patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, no need to be so polite about this kind of thing."
