Lu Wancai practically raved about Lu Feng, as if there was nothing he couldn't do. On the spot, many villagers wanted Lu Feng to arrange a job for them in the city.
Lu Wancai readily agreed, saying generously that they were all minor issues!
After bragging for over an hour at the village entrance, everyone helped lift the car out. Finally, they drove to the old man's house. Lu Feng got out of the car, walked over, and said, "Dad, we're just a small worker. There's no need to brag like that. How did I manage to arrange so many people?"
"Don't take it to heart. What's the most important thing in life? It's to have fun! Who cares about all that? These days, whoever shouts the loudest seems more powerful. You're just a kid, you don't understand." Lu Wancai waved his hand, acting like an adult, and went into the courtyard.
Lu Feng could tell that with such an amazing father, how could there be no trouble?
The two elders have a house in the countryside. It is quite old and is said to have been built during their great-grandfather's time. From the outside, it still has certain characteristics of the era. The courtyard has three sections in the front and three in the back, with two gates. Such a house would definitely have been considered a wealthy family's residence at that time.
Lu Bingwen is seventy years old this year and has been living a retirement life for several years. He didn't say anything when he saw Lu Wancai walk in. He had never thought much of this son, but he didn't expect that he would rise to prominence.
"Father, I'm hosting a banquet to celebrate your birthday. The restaurant is all booked, tomorrow at noon!" Lu Wancai stepped forward with a big smile on his face.
"Okay, I understand."
"Lu Feng and I will drive to pick you up. Stay at my apartment building for one night, and we'll go straight to the restaurant tomorrow."
"Lu Feng is here too? Where is he?" the old man asked, wearing his reading glasses.
Lu Feng quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I'm here."
"I heard you made a fortune in the city? Became a leader? And gave your dad 600,000 yuan?"
"It's just good luck, nothing special!" Lu Feng said modestly.
"As a person, you should walk upright and act honestly. Don't expect to last by resorting to petty theft and despicable acts. I've watched you grow up, and I know you best. You're always messing around!"
Lu Feng was somewhat bewildered after being given a severe scolding.
"Alright, they're celebrating your birthday, why are you saying all this useless stuff?" Grandma said from the side.
Lu Feng could clearly sense that his grandfather didn't treat his family very well, and his words carried a hint of disdain. As for the reason, he didn't know.
Around 10 a.m., we picked up my parents and brought them back to the city. As soon as we entered the house, we saw three people sitting in the living room. My mother was chatting on one side, and a man in his forties was sitting in the middle. He was wearing casual clothes and gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were filled with arrogance.
Beside him was a woman in her forties who looked somewhat similar to Lu Wancai. She had dyed her hair and was talking to his mother. Her expression and demeanor gave off an indescribable sense of distance.
As for the young man sitting next to the woman, who was about the same age as Lu Feng, he was arrogant and domineering, holding a car key in his left hand and a mobile phone in his right.
"Dad's here?" Lu Jinyue stood up, looking somewhat happy.
"When did your daughter arrive?" Lu Bingwen stepped into the house and said, "He's exhausted from climbing the stairs in this crappy place."
“I was just telling my second son’s wife that rich people don’t live in apartment buildings anymore. Everyone lives in Western-style houses. It’s only the villagers who think living in apartment buildings is good. Dad, my son Yu Tian said that if you move in next year, I will buy a Western-style house.” Lu Jinyue said with a smile.
Lu Feng rolled his eyes when he heard this. These days, people who can afford to live in apartments are definitely not ordinary people, let alone villas.
"Daughters are so filial!"
Seeing that Yu Tian was sitting there without saying a word, Lu Jinyue said to the child, "Get up and make room for your grandparents. This child doesn't even know how to greet people."
"Hello, Grandma! Hello, Grandpa!" Yu Rongguang stood up and muttered a curse about this garbage place.
Lu Wancai saw all of this. In the past, he was the most looked down upon among his siblings. Now that he had money, he still acted the same way. How could he feel comfortable with that?
"What is Rongguang doing now?" Lu Wancai asked.
“My Rongguang works at the factory now, managing dozens of people. After all, he graduated from a vocational school, so the leaders value him a lot. They said after the New Year that there's a branch factory they'd like him to be the deputy factory manager. It's nothing, just a small job.” Lu Jinyue said with a smug look on her face.
"This kid is just like his father, he looks like a leader!" Lu Bingwen said excitedly, leaning back on the sofa. "My daughter and son are both destined for greatness. Um... Wan Cai, didn't you say Lu Feng works at that factory...?"
Lu Feng had been standing near the doorway, which wasn't very big. Jiang Xiaoyan nudged him and muttered, "Move forward!"
Lu Feng was completely exasperated. Did they really have to compete over something like this? Was this family really that childish?
He should have known this would happen, he wouldn't have come back. He didn't have many memories of this family, nor did he have much affection for them; he was just going through the motions.
“Lu Feng is a leader now, and he has people under his command!” Lu Wancai turned around and pulled Lu Feng over, saying, “Tell your grandfather, how many people do you manage?”
"I... I'm only in charge of thirty to fifty people!" Lu Feng made up a number.
"Is he the deputy factory director?" Lu Jinyue asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Feng nodded.
"You're nothing! You work at Jiaming Foods, right? Jiaming Foods has six deputy factory managers, and I know them all. We're all buddies who eat and drink together all the time!" Yu Tian raised his head, crossed his legs, and said, "You really work at Jiaming Foods?"
Six deputy factory directors?
