Chapter 814 - Master Lu’s danger
Chapter 814 – Master Lu’s danger
The provincial government will set aside 500 million, and Feng Yu will donate the same amount. This 1 billion will be used on Longjing Province’s waterworks. The cities realized that they had been tricked by the Provincial Government. But they were powerless to do anything. They could only delay the start of some useless projects.
Xu Changyou decided to make a trip to Beijing after Lunar New Year. He needs the higher-ups to issue some money. Even if the money is not issued to them this year, he can still wait for next year. Feng Yu had agreed to donate the same amount next year too.
The Central Government will not mind issuing some funds to Longjiang. If they can put in 500 million RMB for the waterworks, they can get 1 billion RMB worth of work done. This is also a credit for the higher-ups.
After Lunar New Year, Feng Yu returned to Beijing. Master Lu will be transferred to the grassroots level to gain experience. Before he left, he wants to have a meal with Feng Yu.
Master Lu had helped Feng Yu a lot. Although Feng Yu will give something back in return for his favors, he still wants to have a close relationship with Master Lu. Master Lu is from a family of top-ranking government officials.
With Master Lu’s family background, Master Lu will most likely be in the governing body. He might even be posting to the Central Government. Feng Yu likes Master Lu’s character. He is willing to go all out for his friends.
“Master Lu, I wish you a belated happy new year.” Feng Yu laughed.
“Brother Feng, happy new year to you too. Let me introduce you to a friend. This is Niu Meng. He is from the military. His father is Major General, who is a hot favorite to move up. Brother Niu is now working in the logistics department.”
Feng Yu shook hands with Niu Meng. He was feeling troubled. He had thought he had changed Master Lu’s life. But it seems that nothing had changed. In Feng Yu’s previous life, Master Lu was implicated because he tried to help Niu Meng.
Will this happen again in this life?
“Brother Feng, I heard a lot about you from Brother Lu. I finally get to meet you in person. We must drink at least 3 glasses later.”
Feng Yu could tell Niu Meng was lying from what he said. If Master Lu really mentions him to Niu Meng, then Niu Meng will know Feng Yu does not like to drink.
Master Lu laughed. “Brother Niu, Brother Feng is not good at drinking. I will drink with you later.”
“How can a man don’t know how to drink?” Niu Meng said and glanced at Feng Yu. This made Feng Yu more uncomfortable.
Did I offend you?
If it was not because of Master Lu, Feng Yu would have walked away. Feng Yu was not interested to know this person. He is just someone who relies on his father. Why? I cannot hold my liquor well, and I am not a man? Since when men are judged by the amount of alcohol they can drink? Are you some mountain bandits?
No wonder people are saying Chinese soldiers are getting worse. These second-generation are the ones who tarnished the reputation of the Chinese army.
“Niu Meng! Apologize now!” Master Lu scolded.
“Brother Lu, why should I apologize?” Niu Meng did not think he has said anything wrong.
“Niu Meng, if you still want to be friends with me, apologize immediately. If not, you can go back now.” Master Lu said firmly.
Niu Meng looked at Master Lu, confused and look at Feng Yu. He does not understand why Master Lu is helping Feng Yu. Feng Yu is only a businessman.
But Niu Meng dare not to go against Master Lu. He looked at Feng Yu and apologize unwillingly. “I’m sorry. I will punish myself by drinking one glass later.”
When Niu Meng said this, he has a smirk on his face. He knew Feng Yu does not drink, and purposely said he will apologize by drinking. Is he sincere with his apology?
Master Lu patted Feng Yu on his arm. “Brother Feng, don’t mind him. This is the way he speaks, but he means no harm.”
Feng Yu laughed in his heart. Don’t be so sure. You will never imagine that his whole family is traitors!
During dinner, Feng Yu was very quiet. Master Lu felt embarrassed and kept trying to chat with Feng Yu. Niu Meng was pleased as he looked at Feng Yu.
After dinner, Niu Meng suggests going to sing karaoke. He said that there is a new lounge and have private rooms. Feng Yu was unsure if he was going there to sing or to experience other things.
“You all can go ahead. I am not interested.” Feng Yu stood up and was about to leave.
“What’s wrong? You are not giving me face?” Niu Meng was pissed.
“Who are you?! Do I need to give you face?!” Feng Yu stared at Niu Meng.
Niu Meng’s face changed: “F**k! Feng Yu! You are asking for a beating?”
Feng Yu does not need to say a word, and Mei Zhigao rushed in and stood beside Feng Yu. “Boss, is someone creating trouble here? I will call our men up.” He still has two other colleagues in another car downstairs. Outside of Bing City, Feng Yu have the habit of bringing a few bodyguards with him.
Niu Meng looked at Mei Zhigao. “Soldier?”
“I am only a driver.” Mei Zhigao replied coldly.
“Brother Feng, Niu Meng, do you all still treat me as a friend? Sit down.” Master Lu’s face was dark. He knew Niu Meng is rash and impulsive. But what happened to Feng Yu today. He had known Feng Yu for almost two years now. He does not behave this way.
If Feng Yu’s bodyguards came up and beat up Niu Meng at a dinner Master Lu hosted, it will be difficult for him to face his friends in the future.
“Brother Lu, I am inviting him to go to karaoke. Am I wrong?” Niu Meng looked at Master Lu.
“Niu Meng. You go back first. I will treat you to drinks another day.”
Niu Meng was shocked. What do you mean? You are asking me to go back because of a businessman?
Niu Meng saw Master Lu have no intentions of going to the Karaoke with him, he grabbed his coat and stormed out of the restaurant. When he walked past Feng Yu, he stared at Feng Yu with hatred. Feng Yu also noticed it.
After Niu Meng left, Mei Zhigao went out and close the door.
“Brother Feng, you know him from before? You two have any grudges?”
“No.” Feng Yu replied calmly. If it is not because I want to save you, I can’t be bothered with him. Feng Yu was satisfied to see Master Lu helping him and had a minor conflict with Niu Meng.
If Master Lu ignored Feng Yu and go out with Niu Meng, Feng Yu would not be bothered with him. There are many second generations around. Feng Yu can always befriend another Second-generation. Furthermore, Feng Yu does not need the help of these Second generations now.
Master Lu knew Feng Yu had met the Chief Architect and Iron-fist Zhu before. Niu Meng cannot be compared to Feng Yu.
Niu Meng’s father was only a Major General. Outside of the military, he is only a Director level officer. Master Lu will be going to the grassroots level to be the Party Secretary of a County. He will also be a Director Level Official in less than 10 years!
Master Lu was friends with Niu Meng because Niu Meng was discerning. But no matter what, he cannot be compared with Feng Yu.
“Alright. I will not ask him along in the future. I just happen to meet him today and had not intended to invite him. He has a foul temper. Don’t mind him.” Master Lu said.
“Master Lu, as your good friend, I have a piece of advice for you. Stop mixing with him. He will get you in trouble.” Feng Yu replied seriously.
“Hahaha, Brother Feng, I will be going to the Southeast to work. Even if he wants to drink with me, I also don’t have the time. The Grassroots level is not as relaxing as Beijing.” Master Lu replied. He felt Feng Yu said this was because he does not like Niu Meng.
Feng Yu thought to himself. What if Niu Meng is transferred to the military base in the Southeast?
But Feng Yu cannot tell Master Lu that Niu Meng’s father is a traitor. It will be easier to explain himself.
