"It will be alright!" Kevin could only offer words of comfort.
“If I can’t go to Boss Lu’s company, I’ll go with you.” Du Guoying looked at him, looking for a way out. Anyway, with either of these two big shots, sticking with either one would be enough for him to take off.
“He’ll definitely agree.” Kevin was getting anxious when he saw that Du Guoying wanted to curry favor with him. First of all, Du Guoying had no professional skills, and secondly, he didn’t have anything valuable to offer. He just wanted to make money. It would be best for someone like him to join someone else’s company.
After all, it's hardest to feel bad about using other people's money to do good deeds.
Around 5 a.m., Lu Feng woke up and started making dumplings again. This time, he didn't dare let Kevin cook them. By the time he finished cooking, it was already 7 p.m., and he turned on the TV to watch the news.
Lu Feng and Du Guoying were busy in the kitchen. Du Guoying whispered, "Boss Lu, everything has been taken care of for you. He shouldn't be leaving for a few days. I talked to him this afternoon, and he doesn't need to go to work for a while."
"Well done." Lu Feng smiled at him and said, "I'll give you a big red envelope later."
Seeing that Lu Feng didn't say anything more, Du Guoying sensed that some things needed to be said to him in a different way. Fortunately, he and Kevin became familiar with each other over the afternoon, and the two of them secretly worked out a plan.
The food was served, and the sound of firecrackers outside was already deafening. The evening news had ended, and the annual Spring Festival Gala was just around the corner. Lu Feng sat down and said to Kevin, "This is also our New Year tradition: eating dumplings, setting off firecrackers, and watching the Spring Festival Gala."
“I’ve been watching this for years, I know more about it than you do!” Kevin said happily.
"Sit down, sit down!" Du Guoying said politely, opening the red wine and setting it aside to let it breathe.
Lu Feng and Kevin chatted about some of the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival, such as lighting a bonfire, welcoming the God of Happiness, sending away the God of Bad Luck, cleaning the courtyard, returning to the wife's parents' home, and the new bride visiting to pay New Year's visits.
"There are quite a few customs!" Kevin said while eating. "Luckily, my wife is Singaporean. On such a day of family reunion, the three of us getting together is truly touching. Mr. Lu, you've always said we're destined to meet, and that you wanted me to join Jiafeng Electronics..."
"Hey, hey, hey, I never said you should join Jiafeng!" Lu Feng quickly interrupted him, saying, "I just feel that your industry doesn't have much future growth potential. You should leave the automotive industry and go to some industries with better prospects. I wish you the best, brother. I'm a straightforward person and a warm-hearted person. You'll understand once we talk more."
"I can tell from Mr. Lu's appearance that he's a very good person," Du Guoying said with a hint of flattery.
“What I mean is, you’ve been giving me pointers all this time, why don’t you give him some pointers too!” Kevin said to Du Guoying. “I’m over fifty years old, there’s not much point in me giving pointers anymore, but how old is Du Guoying? His future is limitless!”
"I...I'm just an ordinary person, I can't compare to you two." Du Guoying lowered her head, lacking confidence.
"Don't say that. Anyone with a dream is remarkable. I believe that as long as President Lu gives the word, you'll unleash energy you never imagined you could have." Kevin looked at Lu Feng and said, "What do you think?"
"Okay!" Lu Feng sensed something was off. Judging from their behavior, it seemed like they were putting on an act for him. He said, "He's easy to deal with, since he's currently unemployed. Your problem is more serious."
"I feel I'm not good enough for a big company like Jiafeng. Don't make things difficult for Boss Lu." Du Guoying cleverly used this as a way of retreating, making her look rather pitiful.
Kevin felt a little uncomfortable watching him sit there with his head down, not saying a word. A young man on the verge of being crushed by life had come here and was desperately striving to improve himself; someone about his age had already gained considerable experience.
The two of them were sitting at the same dining table. Kevin looked at them and sighed at the unfairness of fate. He frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, if you were him right now, how do you think you would feel?"
Lu Feng truly hadn't expected that Du Guoying would be the one to push him to join the company.
“I am not him, but I believe he has a bright future.” Lu Feng put down his chopsticks, thinking to himself, Kevin is not very good at speaking. Given his current position, speaking like this makes him seem to lack emotional intelligence.
“Kevin, I understand you’re worried about his future. After all, everyone sympathizes with the underdog. But isn’t the way you’re saying this a bit inappropriate?”
