"Hehe, that's also pretty good. Now that you know each other and have his contact number, in the future, whenever you're free, keep in touch more often," Wu Longcai chuckled, interjecting.
"I wouldn't dare, I an, he was even driving a military vehicle..." Wu Shiyi shrank her head, fully lacking confidence as she spoke.
"Hehe, so things must be fought for by oneself. For soone like him to give you his contact information, it ans he must appreciate you to so extent. Moreover, you're quite an attractive prospect, and, well, what man doesn't like a beautiful woman?" Wu Longcai said.
"Mhm!" Wu Shiyi's face turned red at his words, recalling how Ge Dongxu had seriously critiqued her on the plane earlier.
"You're not bad, keep working hard," Wu Longcai said with a smile upon seeing Wu Shiyi's blush.
Ye Qianqian watched Wu Longcai's friendly and kind attitude towards Wu Shiyi, her eyes filled with jealousy and an indescribable sense of regret.
The place by Ge Dongxu's side should have been hers! She could have had the chance to et an influential person!
But what was the result? Because of her opportunism, she not only lost this great opportunity but also offended him, and consequently, even Wu Longcai ford a bad impression of her, which was fatal for a newcor like her.
...
"Commander Feng, is Elder Feng's health still good?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile from inside the car.
"Very good. In this kind of weather, he usually wouldn't even dream of walking on the ground, not to ntion the severe coughing. But now, he's moving freely, coughs much less, and is even starting to think about what flowers and vegetables to plant in the backyard co springti. Speaking of which, we really need to thank you," Feng Guozhen turned around, expressing his gratitude earnestly.
"Hehe, I'm glad to hear that. Your father is my senior brother; it was my duty," Ge Dongxu said happily.
"If you say my dad is your senior brother, then stop calling Commander Feng. Call by my na. In fact, if we're serious about the formalities, I should be calling you 'Uncle Master'," Feng Guozhen said.
"Hehe, then I will call you by your na. However, I'm younger, and it's friendlier for you to call by my na. If we add the familial titles, it would be awkward for both of us," Ge Dongxu replied with a laugh.
"Haha, that's true," Feng Guozhen burst into laughter, really liking Ge Dongxu's forthright and honest personality.
The car soon arrived at the courtyard house. After entering the main gate, Elder Feng had already been waiting inside. Seeing Ge Dongxu's arrival, the one who hardly furrowed his brow even in the face of bullets and guns suddenly beca a bit stirred up, hurriedly stepping forward and gripping Ge Dongxu's hand tightly, and saying, "Dongxu, you're here, was the journey here exhausting for you?"
"I'm young, and I was in first class; why would it be exhausting?" Ge Dongxu, too, gripping the old man's hand, was quite moved.
This was a genuine elder who had a relationship with his master. Seeing him, Ge Dongxu felt as though he was seeing his master again.
"Hehe, it's good to be young!" Elder Feng nodded with a smile.
"Hello Dongxu, I'm Feng Guoqiang, thank you for coming to visit my father. He has been talking about you since this morning," said a man who resembled Elder Feng in his facial features but taller and exuding a quiet dignity and vast righteous qi, extending his hand with a smile after Ge Dongxu released Elder Feng's hand.
"Hello, Secretary Feng," Ge Dongxu said, knowing that the man before him was Elder Feng's eldest son, holding the top office in a certain province. He then solemnly shook his hand.
"You are my father's recognized junior brother, you can just call by my na, otherwise my father will be unhappy," Feng Guoqiang hurriedly said.
"Right, Dongxu, don't be polite with them. Just call them by their nas," Elder Feng said.
Ge Dongxu could only nod stiffly.
Feng Guoqiang was now in charge of the Feng Family and held a rank equivalent to a high official in border areas. Not to ntion an eighteen-year-old young man, but in the whole Huaxia Country, there were not many people who could call him by his na so casually.
"It's getting late. Now that Dongxu has arrived, let's have the kitchen prepare. Today we'll have a reunion dinner," Elder Feng said to his youngest daughter Feng Jiahui after having a brief chat with Ge Dongxu.
Feng Jiahui smiled in response and personally went to instruct the kitchen staff, behaving completely like an ordinary housewife without any airs of being a leader at the central bank.
Ge Dongxu watched Feng Jiahui leave with a beaming smile, his face involuntarily showing a hint of puzzlent.
"Our family is different from ordinary people's families. While others can sit together and have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, our family is scattered far and wide, especially and Guozhen, one in the military and the other in local governance. On New Year's Eve, it's not good for us to leave our posts in case sothing unexpected happens. Therefore, only Jiahui and her family can co to have a reunion dinner with our father on New Year's Eve. The two of us brothers usually visit our father in the capital based on our work schedules. This year, our father said he t the disciple of his benefactor and even recognized a fellow apprentice brother, so he arranged to have a reunion dinner during the first month of the lunar year, which is why all of us children hurried back," Feng Guoqiang, who had vast experience in governance, saw the puzzlent on Ge Dongxu's face and imdiately understood his thoughts, explaining with a smile.
"Senior Brother!" Ge Dongxu, moved by these words, grasped Elder Feng's hand tightly. He knew Elder Feng truly regarded him as family.
"After that special period was over, I was fortunate enough to make a coback and re-engage in the state's work, full of vigor and vitality. However, behind that, there has always been one regret in my heart, which was not being able to see the old man again. I wanted to provide him with peace and comfort in his final years, so he could enjoy his days. Fortunately, though I did not get to see him, eting you has left with no regrets," Elder Feng said, patting Ge Dongxu's hand emotionally.
"Dongxu, you not only cured my father's physical ailnts but also healed his heart!" Feng Guozhen, watching the old and the young holding hands, could not help but feel incredibly touched.
"The kitchen may not be ready so soon. Let give senior brother another acupuncture treatnt first," Ge Dongxu quickly said, reminded by what Feng Guozhen had said.
"No rush, no rush, you just got off the plane and need to rest. Let's wait until after dinner to discuss this further," Elder Feng waved his hand.
"My body can handle several days and nights without sleep, so that's not an issue. What's important is your health. Let's dispel so of the cold qi first, so you're in good shape, feeling spirited, and the dinner will taste even better," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Exactly, exactly, Dad, Dongxu is now your doctor. You should listen to what Dongxu says," Feng Guoqiang and Feng Guozhen, as his sons, naturally prioritized Elder Feng's health first, echoing each other in agreent and looking at Ge Dongxu with extra gratitude.
"Hehe, well in that case, I'll listen to you, Dongxu. But do not overexert yourself; don't get tired," Elder Feng said.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I wasn't experienced last ti. This ti, I have more experience, and it should go more smoothly and easily," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
Feng Guoqiang and Feng Guozhen exchanged glances and couldn't help but give a wry smile. These days, probably only Ge Dongxu would have the nerve to practice on their father, and even say it so openly.
