A well-polished black car was parked downstairs, and everyone who was shoving snow stopped working. They looked at that beautiful black vehicle. It must be someone looking for Old Feng.
Look at Old Feng. He had a capable son, and his life got better.
The driver alighted and quickly opened the passenger door for Feng Yu.
Eh? Isn’t that Old Feng’s son? He is back?
“Xiao Yu, you are back to visit your parents?” An auntie greeted him first. It seems that it was an honor to greet Feng Yu before anyone else.
“Auntie Li, you are shoving snow? Leave it to me. Uncle Zhao, Mr. Wang……” Feng Yu greeted all his neighbors. These people were considered old neighbors.
“No need. I treat shoving snow as exercise. I thought the winter break for university had started long ago? Why are you back so late?”
“I have some matters to handle in Bing City. But I am still in time to return for Lunar New Year.”
A kid appeared from behind the adults and asked: “Brother Feng Yu, will there be fireworks this year?”
“Hahaha, if Xiao Bao likes to see fireworks, then we will let off fireworks. This time, we will let off lots of fireworks! I promise you will love it!”
“Yay!!! Brother Feng Yu is the best!” Xiao Bao cheered excitedly.
Zhang Muhua had been waiting at the windows for her son. She wanted to be the first to welcome her son back.
“Aunties, Uncles, I will go back first. If you all are free, drop by my place for a chat.” Feng Yu said and walked entered the building empty-handed. His driver and Liu Jichuan followed behind, carrying all the stuff he bought.
Feng Yu had monitored Liu Jichuan for some time and decided to let him learn management. Although they did not grow up together, they were from the same village. Feng Yu felt uneasy about making him be his bodyguard.
Feng Yu’s new bodyguard cum driver, was Mei Zhigao. He was also from Bing City.
“Jichuan, you go back first. I am sure Uncle Liu is waiting for you. Zhigao, you can also go back to celebrate New Year with your family. Nothing will happen in the village. Furthermore, there is Da Zhuang around.”
Da Zhuang was the bodyguard assigned to Feng Yu’s father. His parents had passed away, and his sister had moved to another province. He was alone and chose to spend the holidays with the Feng family.
Mei Zhigao nodded. He already knew that Manager Feng will ask them to go back. After thanking Feng Yu, he left with Liu Jichuan. Liu Jichuan sent him to the bus station for a bus back to Bing City.
“Son, why are you back so late? Is it because of your business? Didn’t you hand over all the work to others?” Zhang Muhua grumbled.
“I went to American to buy somethings. I came back immediately after I finished my work. Why not both of you move to Bing City. You all still can see Chixing often.” Feng Yu replied casually.
Although the air in the village was excellent, the traffic, medical services, etc. cannot be compared to the City. Furthermore, Bing City was not as polluted as the future years.
“Ok. Your father and I intend to buy a house by the river. It will be more convenient for your father to go fishing.”
“Ah? Really?” Feng Yu was surprised. He had tried to ask his parents to move to the city, but his parents refused. How come they want to move suddenly?
“Your Uncle Wen is going to be transferred to Bing City, and your father does not have many friends in the village. Also, your grandfather’s health is not as good as before. Your father wants to fetch your grandfather over to Bing City to stay with us. If he falls sick, it will be more convenient to send him to the main hospital for treatment.”
“Uncle Wen is transferring to Bing City? He got promoted again?” Wen Dongjun’s father was moving up the ranks too fast. Was he sitting on a rocket?
“I think it is only a transfer. He will be going to be the Deputy Chief of the City’s Agriculture bureau.”
Feng Yu raised his brows: “Is the Chief going to retire?”
“That’s right. I heard he will be retiring in less than 2 years. How do you know?” Zhang Muhua asked curiously.
Was there a need to ask? Uncle Wen was transferred to the City to take over the position as the Chief of the City’s Agriculture bureau. Bing City was a Sub-provincial division. That means Uncle Wen will be promoted to Deputy Bureau Director level soon? Many people will be jealous of him. But Uncle Wen had achieved great results during his time here.
“I guessed it. Where is dad? At the factory?”
“He went digging for frogs with Old Zhao. He said he wants to eat deep-fried frogs. Why should he go and catch the frogs himself if he wants to eat frogs? He can just buy it from the shops.”
“Haha, Dad is just having fun. Maybe he is bored with playing mah-jong every day.”
At noon, Feng Xingtai returned home with a pail of frogs and small fishes. He immediately asks Feng Yu to call Wen Dongjun to invite his family over for dinner and drinks. It was as if the frogs were some delicacies.
Wen Dongjun had arrived at Feng Yu’s house early to play video games with him. They plugged in the second generation Little Tyrant to the TV and played. They were shouting and playing excitedly. It’s been a while since they played together.
“Eh, a game arcade just opened up in the Village. Want to go there and play tomorrow?” For Wen Dongjun, school breaks are just for him to play and enjoy himself. He does not have many friends and had been waiting for Feng Yu to return to the village.
There are games arcade now? Feng Yu was very interested in visiting this place. So, he agreed to go with Wen Dongjun tomorrow.
Wen Dongjun’s mother had helped with preparing dinner. With extra help, dinner was ready soon. When Wen Deguang came back from work, the dining table was full of food. The main dish for dinner was deep-fried frogs.
“Both of you are going to graduate soon. What are your plans?” Feng Xingtai asked.
“Me? Should continue doing business.”
“Didn’t you say you want to enter the government service?” Feng Xingtai was unhappy. This brat had lied to him in the past.
“Dad, doing business is also contributing to the country. Didn’t you hear that it is honorable to pay taxes? Furthermore, with my assets now, do you think I can be someone’s subordinate?” With Feng Yu’s current assets, he can easily enter the central government’s party committee despite his age.
“Old Feng, kids nowadays have their own thinking. Just let them be.” Wen Deguang said and turned to Wen Dongjun. “What about you?”
Wen Dongjun was still stuffing his face with frogs. His mouth was oily and immediately swallowed his food when he heard his father asking him.
“Me? I should be entering the government service.” Wen Dongjun replied casually. Zhang Han’s father had already helped him pave his way. It would be stupid if he doesn’t enter the government. Furthermore, it was his dream to be a government official. He wants to be a top official. But he still has not decided what to do after he becomes one!
“There are lots of departments in government service. Which department are you going to?” Wen Deguang knew about his son’s relationship with Zhang Han and also knew that Zhang Han’s father had already made arrangements.
“Ah? I also don’t know.” Wen Dongjun replied with a blank look.
Feng Yu covered his face with his palm. “You still have not thought about this after so long?”
“I did consider this. I will just enter the same department as Zhang Han!” Wen Dongjun replied with an “I have my plans” look on his face.
“Useless!” If they were not at Feng Yu’s house, Wen Deguang would have beaten his son up. How can a man do things without planning?
Feng Yu looked at Wen Dongjun. He was 1.9m tall, and no matter what department he went to, no leaders will like him. Maybe only the Police or Sports related departments were suitable for him. But with his character, can he survive in the Police department?
“Dongjun, you better don’t follow Zhang Han. Let Zhang Han join the Police department and you enter the General Administration of Sport of China. If both of you work in the same department, one of you will not go far. With your size, your supervisor will surely not promote you. But at the General Administration of Sport, you will not stand out because of your size. Also, you can play sports with athletes there. It suits you better.”
Wen Dongjun’s eyes brighten up: “That’s right. I will go and manage a stadium, and I can play with the sportsmen there! Dad, I have considered it carefully. I want to enter the General Administration of Sport of China!”
Wen Deguang shook his head. The General Administration of Sport of China? Fine. This brat’s character would surely offend the leaders in other departments. It might be better for him to work at the General Administration of Sport of China.
“Ok.”
“Oh, Uncle Wen, can we change the name of our village?” Feng Yu asked suddenly.
