“Okay!” Zhu Lidong knew that Lu Feng might spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so he said, “How about we spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at the company this year?”
The suggestion caused an awkward silence. They were usually so busy that they didn't have time to spend with their families. Now that they finally had a break, they had to spend the holiday with Lu Feng. Wasn't that going too far?
"No need, no need, just have dinner tonight. I'm busy with Mid-Autumn Festival." Lu Feng joked, "Don't think that just because I don't have a home now, I have a home everywhere."
“President Lu considers the whole world his home!” Du Guoying said with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, given Lu Feng's wealth, age, and appearance, it wasn't unusual for him to consider the whole world his home.
That evening, in a private room at a five-star hotel, everyone took their seats. Compared to some internal corporate dinners, the senior executives of Jiafeng Electronics were quite relaxed, without the backstabbing and infighting typical of companies, and they were all very open and at ease in front of Lu Feng.
While eating and drinking, they stopped talking about work and mostly talked about their families. In the past two years, everyone present had undergone tremendous changes, and Wei Yandan was definitely the one who had changed the most.
“I’ve been with the company for three years. Three years ago, I never dreamed that I would become the president of such a big company. During that time, I was busy supplementing my knowledge and studying like crazy. My husband thought I was having an affair and made a fuss every day. In a fit of anger, we got divorced. He even spread rumors at home that I was having an affair with President Lu.” Wei Yandan couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.
The crowd laughed continuously.
“Back then, my family didn’t understand either. I would stay in the office and be busy for days on end. After the divorce, I became more focused and thought about the company’s problems. My thinking became clearer. Now no one opposes me anymore. He came back to me and said he was willing to be a stay-at-home dad, cleaning and doing housework.” Wei Yandan said with great emotion.
Three years. No one knows how she got through those three years. There are too many things that require her to stay in this position.
"It's really tiring. Mr. Lu is different from other bosses. I think he's more tired, especially since he's divorced. Maybe that saying is true: if you want to survive in the business world, it's best to be single." Zhu Lidong looked at the wine glass in front of him and said, "We see each other less and less."
“There’s no such thing as having it all in this world. Some people have time but no money, some have money but no time, and some have both money and time and are young enough to enjoy life—that’s called being a spendthrift. Everyone has to choose a path. I know you’re all exhausted.” Lu Feng looked at everyone and said, “But have you ever thought about it? When you get through this, you’ll never have to work this hard again. There are too many poor people in this world who grit their teeth and say, ‘Give me this much money, and I’ll do anything.’ You must know people like that, right?”
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed bitterly.
"Isn't this exactly the situation you're in now? Giving you so much money and opportunities to build a great company, I think that's the meaning of life. Jiafeng Electronics isn't just my Jiafeng. We'll work together to build a commercial peak, and that peak will prove our worth in life."
“You envy others’ leisure, while others envy your busyness. That’s life. We can always see others but not ourselves. After all, we are a mirror for others!” Lu Feng raised his wine glass and said, “You must learn to adjust your mindset. Take a break when you need to. With the establishment of the board of directors and the emergence of rotating presidents, I believe that before long, everyone will have the opportunity to unload their responsibilities and spend time with their families. I might even have to retire.”
Everyone turned to look at Lu Feng!
"Cheers. Don't think too much about the future, it's pointless." Lu Feng raised his glass.
The meal was quite enjoyable. Lu Feng talked a lot about Thailand, which made everyone's hearts pound, especially the gunfight part. Only then did everyone realize that the environment abroad was not so good, and the forces behind it were complex and intertwined.
Around 10 p.m., the dinner party ended. Lu Feng, slightly tipsy, stood at the hotel entrance, where a bright moon was about to become full.
"The moon is fullest on the sixteenth of the lunar month!" Lu Feng lit a cigarette, got into his car, and went straight back to the company.
