After listening, Kevin didn't know how to comfort him. He remained silent for a while before saying, "But this is the life of an ordinary person, isn't it?"
“I’m struggling in this bustling metropolis, just… just wanting to make something of myself.” Du Guoying was quite emotional, looking up at Kevin and saying, “I want my family to be happy, so that one day my dad can say to others, ‘Look, my son is alright, much better than his father.’ In this city, I’ve wandered from the south to the north, moving again and again, like a stray dog. I just lack one opportunity! Just one opportunity! You don’t know how important an opportunity is for a young person!”
“When I was young, I was the same way, complaining about how unfair life was.” Kevin stared at him, as if he were remembering his own youth.
"I'm begging you, please give me a chance to get into a big company. You heard it yourself, Boss Lu offered me a vice president position. Even if I don't have the ability to stay after I get in, I'll be content. At least he gave me a chance; it's just that I'm not good enough!" Du Guoying looked at Kevin with red eyes and said, "I beg you, just consider it a favor to your younger self!"
Give your younger self a helping hand!
These words finally broke Kevin. He had once hovered on the edge of success, and at that time he wished someone would lend him a hand and give him a chance. Unfortunately, he had been fighting for this opportunity for six years.
"I'll go to Jiafeng Electronics tomorrow. As for whether you can stay here, that's up to you," Kevin said to him. "Get some rest."
Du Guoying was stunned for a moment, then stared at Kevin with overjoyed eyes and said, "Thank you!"
"Just be yourself," Kevin said to him. "That's all I can do for you. The rest is up to you."
After the noise came peace. It was already two in the morning, and the whole world had quieted down. Du Guoying felt an indescribable joy. He tidied up the table and dishes and went to sleep.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is a day for visiting relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings. Most businesses do not operate on this day, and some do not even resume operations until after the Lantern Festival.
A large group of relatives rushed to Lu Feng's parents' house immediately. When they found that Lu Feng was not there, they stayed for a while and then left. The same scene was playing out at the Jiang family's house. However, Jiang Xiaohong's family was considered wealthy, so a large group of relatives reluctantly stayed.
Around ten o'clock, Lu Feng changed into a suit and looked Du Guoying up and down. While Kevin wasn't paying attention, Du Guoying secretly made an OK sign.
"Do you two want to come along?" Lu Feng asked, seeing that he had indeed settled things with Kevin. "The New Year is over, Kevin. I'll go to the company and give you the money for your compensation."
Kevin was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Lu Feng to actually intend to give money.
“Great, I’ll go check out your company too. But it’s Chinese New Year’s Day this year, shouldn’t it be a holiday?” Kevin asked, puzzled.
“Most people are on holiday, but a key research team from the R&D company is still working. Let’s go check on them and give them a red envelope.” Lu Feng said, preparing the red envelopes, “Let’s go.”
The three got into the car and headed straight for the R&D company. This time, the red envelopes were quite generous, each containing 1,000 yuan. Those working overtime during the Spring Festival were all senior R&D personnel. According to Liu Cheng, there were ten PhDs alone, making them Jiafeng's most core R&D team at present.
The car stopped downstairs at the company. Lu Feng went upstairs and found the place quite empty compared to usual. In a large office, there was a pile of blueprints and materials on the table, and more than thirty people were gathered around, chattering away.
Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked in, saying with a smile, "Happy New Year, everyone. You've all worked hard. I wish you all a Happy New Year."
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
"Mr. Lu, when did you arrive?" Liu Cheng looked up and saw Lu Feng, then hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You didn't even say anything, so I could have gone down to greet you."
"What's this welcome? Compared to you guys, I'm not tired at all. You guys are the ones who are really working hard. Like I always say, the company puts people first. Take a break when you need to. I'm just here to give everyone some red envelopes and share in the good fortune." Lu Feng said, taking out the prepared red envelopes from his pocket.
