Chapter 886 - Dad is going to be a government official


"Son, why are you so busy during Lunar NewYear?!" Feng Yu"s mother grumbled. Feng Yu"s phone had been ringing nonstopduring Lunar New Eve.


"Nothing. They are calling to wish me a happynew year." Feng Yu replied casually.


"Oh, your employees from other provinces?"


Feng Yu looked at his mother weakly and didnot reply. An employee from another Province? If I tell you who was the onecalling, your jaws will drop to the floor.


"Mum, let me help you with the dumplings."Feng Yu rolled up his sleeves.


"Go away. You will create a mess. Gooutside and see if your Eldest Uncle and the rest have reached. Your driversare too slow!"


It was snowing yesterday, and cars go fast.Feng Yu had sent his Off-road cars to fetch his Uncle. If he had sent theOlympic model, they might reach tomorrow.


As Feng Yu was talking to his mother, heheard the sounds of someone pressing the horn outside. He quickly ran out toopen the gates and saw his Eldest Uncle and his family alighting from thevehicle.


"Uncle, are you tired?"


"No. This car is very comfortable."


"I will bring you to the factory and letyou pick a brand new one."


"Thank you, Xiao Yu. But I seldom drive andhaving a car is useless to me. Where"s your grandfather?"


"He is sleeping upstairs. He says he wantsto stay up all night."


They chatted as they walked back to thehouse. After sending his Uncle and his family into the house, Feng Yu took outtwo red packets and gave it to the two drivers, telling them it"s for theirchildren. One of the drivers is a young man and is not married. He hesitatedand don"t know whether if he should accept it. The other driver is used to thisand wished Feng Yu happy new year, before dragging that young man away with thered packets.


After Feng Yu entered the house, hisgrandfather also came down from upstairs. They sat in the living room to watchTV.


The Philips TV in the living room is sharp,and with the sound system, the living room feels like a cinema.


"When are you getting married? Stop wastingtime and get a girlfriend soon!" Eldest Uncle starts lecturing his son.


Feng Yu"s elder cousin repliedembarra.s.sedly. "Dad, getting married is for life. It"s not easy to get apartner."


"Bulls.h.i.t! You think I don"t know what youare thinking? Let me warn you. If you have a girlfriend, treat her well. I willbeat you up if you play around with women!"


Feng Yu finally understood. Father beatingup sons is his family"s tradition.


After a while, dinner is ready, and Feng Yuand his elder cousin helped to bring out the dishes from the kitchen. The roundtable in the dining room is full of dishes.


Feng Yu"s grandfather raised his gla.s.s."It"s New Year, and I am glad to see everyone here. Cheers!"


Feng Yu took a sip and was about to putdown his gla.s.s when he saw his father staring at him.


"You think you are at your unit?! Finis.h.i.t!" Feng Xingtai scolded. You dare to play tricks at home? When you are young,I don"t let you drink, but you secretly drink behind my back!


"Dad, it"s a company and not a unit." FengYu argued and finished his gla.s.s of alcohol.


After everyone finished their first gla.s.s,Feng Yu looked at his elder cousin, and they took out a red packet each fromtheir pockets.


"Grandpa, this is for you."


Feng Yu"s grandfather was surprised. "Youbrats are giving me red packets?"


"That"s right. We wish you will live a longlife and see us get married and see your great-grandchildren go to school andget married." Feng Yu"s cousin laughed.


"Hahaha… I am satisfied if I get to see mygreat-grandchildren. If I live long enough to see them get married, I will be amonster." Feng Yu"s grandfather laughed. From his laughter, everyone can tellhe is very healthy.


"Dad, this is a token from the kids. Justaccept it."


"Alright! I will keep it. It"s been yearssince I received red packets." Feng Yu"s grandfather said as tears start towell up in his eyes.


After dinner, there is still some timebefore the Spring Festive Gala Night starts, and everyone went outside to setoff fireworks. Feng Yu"s grandfather even lit one himself.


Feng Yu was feeling great to see all hisrelatives around. His mood would be better if his mother did not nag about LiNa not coming over.


After the fireworks, everyone sat in theliving room to watch the Gala night and chatted.


Feng Yu"s elder cousin asked softly."Brother, my leader asked me if I am interested in being transferred to theState Own enterprise restructuring office. Should I accept it?"


"Why not? You will be promoted to a DeputySection Chief after you are transferred, right?" If Old Zhang is not takingcare of you, you think you will get this offer? Do you still need to ask me?


"You are right. But this transfer is fromthe Party Committee to the Government."


"What"s the problem? Old Zhang is still inBing City. Furthermore, the restructuring office is under the Deputy City Mayor,and he is Xu Changyou"s former secretary. This is a position where you canshine. If you work hard, you should be a Section Chief in another 2 years."


"I heard there will be major changes to theState Own Enterprises this year. Many people will be out of a job. Will thisoffend many people?"


"Those that are kicked out are those who donot have any skills and laze around. Those with skills and capabilities will bea.s.signed to jobs. The city is also providing training for those unskilledemployees. They will be happy to get skilled workers" salaries."


"You are right. Their basic salary is onlyabout 200 to 300 RMB monthly. They might as well get a new job. Ok. I willaccept the transfer." Feng Yu"s cousin was excited. He hopes Feng Yu is right,and he will be promoted in two years.


With a younger cousin like Feng Yu, who hasconnections with the Provincial and City Governments, he doesn"t need to worryabout getting credits or losing out to others. Even without any noticeableresults, he will also get promoted.


"Second Uncle is going to be a member ofthe Province"s National People’s Congress, and he will be going to theProvincial Government to attend meetings in the future. I didn"t know doingbusiness can also be a government official." Feng Yu"s cousin said.


Huh? My dad is going to be a governmentofficial? How come I am not aware?


"I don"t know about this. Who told youthis?"


"Ah? You don"t know? Even the officialappointment letter is issued. You are not the one who asks the leaders toappoint Second Uncle?" Feng Yu"s cousin asked.


"It"s not me. I think it should be OldZhang"s idea."


In the future, Feng Yu"s father will attendgovernment meetings, and if there are problems, he will surely ask Feng Yu.d.a.m.n! I will become the Province"s free consultant!


No! I must speak to Old Zhang tomorrow. Youtricked my dad into becoming a government official without asking me first?Even if my dad agrees, you should let me know first!


……


"Hahaha…." Feng Yu"s mother laughed loudly.


"Hahaha… this skit is so funny!"


The Gala night ended, and everyone went tobed. Feng Yu laid in his bed and looked at the ceiling. He is thinking aboutthe first night when he was reborn.


Translator"s notes: It"s a Chinese custom to stay up all night on LunarNew Year"s Eve. This custom can be traced back to the Northern and Southerndynasties.
