People who work for leaders often have this problem: they always feel that they are second only to the leader and that everyone has to give them face.
Previously, when President Cui was acting as Lu Feng's middleman, Secretary Cui had mentioned several times in his words when urging payment that he wanted to give Lu Feng a warning.
But after all this time, he couldn't even scratch a hair on Lu Feng's head.
The canteen was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and banners celebrating the Spring Festival were hung on the walls. Cold dishes and wine were laid out on each table, and many people had already arrived, smoking and exchanging greetings.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw Lu Feng. This was an internal dinner, so why was Lu Feng, a businessman, here with his wife and children?
"Mr. Lu, please have a seat here!"
"No need, no need!" Lu Feng walked straight towards the director of the investment promotion office, smiling and saying, "Director Wang, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. Lu. It's been a long time since I've seen you. I heard you've started developing a new factory area?" Director Wang inquired.
“Although the factory is located elsewhere, I will never move the old factory. This is my root. I still remember the time when I went to Xiaoli Village with you and Secretary Huang. This is my daughter. Come, come, let me wish you a Happy New Year!” Lu Feng said, pulling Duo Duo along.
Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little embarrassed. Everyone else was wishing their boss a Happy New Year, but he was here to take advantage of the situation.
Duoduo is quite clever. She bowed and said, "Happy New Year, Uncle. One hundred or two hundred is not too little."
Director Wang's face turned green. He never dreamed that one day a private enterprise would try to take advantage of him. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly rummaged through his pocket, finally pulling out a fifty-yuan note and handing it over.
“This uncle,” Lu Feng said, pulling Duo Duo along.
Duoduo was overjoyed with the money in her hand. She grabbed anyone she could and wished them a Happy New Year, her little mouth chattering away with a string of blessings. Everyone present looked at each other, wanting to hide behind her, but there was no way to escape.
Secretary Cui lifted the cotton curtain and walked in, glancing at the canteen before saying, "Secretary Huang is here! Everyone, please sit down!"
That's what I meant.
Everyone else is here, who dares to take a seat?
In an instant, everyone perked up and headed towards the door.
Secretary Cui lifted the curtain, and Huang Youwei walked in, beaming with joy, and said, "Happy New Year, everyone!"
Happy Chinese New Year!
"You're getting younger and younger! You look so energetic!"
"Not only is Secretary Huang looking energetic, but our whole place has become more vibrant because of your arrival."
Everyone burst into laughter. Huang Youwei glanced around and said, "Everyone, please take your seats." He spotted Lu Feng in the crowd and fixed his gaze on him.
"President Lu is here. It's been more than half a year since we last met," Huang Youwei said as he walked over.
"I'm busy, but I still think of you. Without you, I wouldn't be here. I brought you some pastries, they're over there, take them home and eat them." Lu Feng pointed to several boxes of pastries beside him.
"I heard it's settled in Dongguan?" Huang Youwei asked.
“That’s a branch factory; the main focus is still here. They produce different products. I was thinking of bringing you something valuable, but I know you’re someone who serves the people. If the gifts were too expensive, it would be an insult to you. So I bought two boxes of pastries,” Lu Feng said, looking at him.
“Whether it’s the gift or not is not important. What matters is the sentiment. As long as the sentiment is there, that’s enough. I can’t accept gifts that are too expensive.” Huang Youwei said to his surroundings, “It’s the end of the year. Accept what you should accept, and definitely don’t touch what you shouldn’t accept.”
"You're right. There aren't many people like you who stick to their principles. When I first came here to develop my career, I even thought about trying to pull some strings, but I didn't expect to be scolded by you. I was so ashamed of myself. I suddenly realized that I was a low-class and boring person. That was an insult to you. The only way is to follow a leader like you and develop your career peacefully."
“Ever since that incident, I’ve known that this place is a safe haven. With General Manager Huang here, this place is a place of peace and prosperity. Jiafeng Electronics has officially taken root here. No matter how far we go, whether we open branch factories in other cities or venture out to the world, this will always be Jiafeng Electronics’ home.” Lu Feng said firmly, “Because of a leader like General Manager Huang, who is so incorruptible, he has instilled a sense of righteousness here!”
"Good! Well said!"
"That was so touching, I was moved."
Lu Feng looked at Huang Youwei and said, "You forgot, last winter, when snowflakes were falling from the sky, I came to see you, hoping to sound out what you were thinking. In the snowy night, you gave me a good scolding and lecture, talking to me all night about the company, development, and future plans, pouring your heart and soul into it. The next day, you had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, but you still insisted on working."
Huang Youwei racked his brains but couldn't recall when it happened, but that didn't affect his performance. He said with emotion, "It's all so vivid in my mind. It hasn't been easy along the way. We have to work hard to develop. Everyone has worked hard this year."
"You've worked so hard!" a woman next to her said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Please get some rest and take good care of yourself!"
"You've worked hard!"
Looking at these people with tears in their eyes, Lu Feng sighed inwardly, realizing that he was truly no match for them in terms of acting skills.
"Of course, everyone has worked hard this year, but our achievements are obvious to all. A large number of enterprises, led by Jiafeng Electronics, have successfully taken root in the local area, creating a large number of jobs. This year, the city's GDP growth rate is 17.5%!" Huang Youwei said with a beaming smile.
The audience erupted in applause.
"Don't be arrogant, everyone. This is only the first growth rate in the province, and the first time it has broken 10% since I came here. Let's keep up the good work in the new year. Everyone, please take your seats." Huang Youwei couldn't stop smiling.
