Chapter 286 – Special Enlistment?
This time Hou Haitao did not say much and immediately let his men to prepare all the documents for Feng Yu. Hou Haitao had been waiting for these MIG technologies for a long time.
“Manager Feng, you are able to get your hands on these technologies. Can you also get the shipbuilding technologies from the Soviet Union too?” Hou Haitao looked at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu: “……”
These were aircraft related technologies, and it was in line with your Aviation Factory expertise. What has shipbuilding technologies had to do with your factory?
“No. I can’t get those!”
Feng Yu rejected Hou Haitao’s suggestions. Kirilenko made it very clear to him that his father’s influence was only in the Soviet Union’s army. To get the aircraft related technologies from the air force, his father had paid a hefty price for it. It was too hard for his father to get the technologies from their Navy.
Feng Yu could understand Kirilenko’s difficulties, but maybe Kirilenko still has his ways. The only problem was the price he had to pay in return for the technologies from the Soviet Union’s navy. These technologies were given to the Aviation Factory at no charges, and he can’t be paying for the technologies all the time.
Of course, if Feng Yu had the chance to get those technologies in the future, he would still get it. But he would not purposely ask Kirilenko to get it for him.
……
A few days later, Hou Haitao invited Feng Yu to the Aviation Factory again. Feng Yu was wondering why Hou Haitao was looking for him. He still wants the technologies from the Soviet Union’s navy?
Feng Yu saw a man wearing the military uniform when he enters Hou Haitao’s office. He looked at his rank and got a shock. That man was a General!!
Although Hou Haitao was also getting the benefits equivalent to a high-ranking officer, but compared to a real General, he was nothing. Who is this person? Could this person be the one who had asked him over?
“Manager Feng, come. I will introduce you. This is from General Shen, from Shenyang. General Shen, this is Manager Feng, Feng Yu.” Hou Haitao warmly introduced both parties.
Feng Yu and General Shen looked at each other but did not say a word. Feng Yu was wondering why this General was looking for him. Could this be an order from the top? Damn. I had contributed so much to this country, they should not be too much. If I get pissed, I will look for other solutions!
General Shen was looking at Feng Yu carefully. He had investigated Feng Yu. Feng Yu had no backgrounds. None of his relatives up to 3 generations before him were officials. This meant that this kid had built his career with his own capabilities!
General Shen thought about his son. His son cannot be compared to this kid!
“Manager Feng, how do you do?” General Shen stretched out his hand for a handshake.
Feng Yu was surprised. This General had no airs. He was not as arrogant as he had imagined.
“Nice to meet you, General Shen. Are you looking for me? If you are looking for the Soviet Union’s navy technologies, I’m sorry. I can’t help you. I am willing to contribute to the country, but I am still not ready to sacrifice my life for the nation.” Feng Yu said. He wanted to make things clear before General Shen asks him to get the technologies.
“Hahaha. Manager Feng is indeed interesting like what Director Hou told me. Don’t worry. As long as you abide by the law, our country will not force you. I am here today to meet you. I wanted to meet the person who had imported so many advanced technologies into China. I want to see what sort of person you are!”
General Shen’s reply surprised Feng Yu. Not forcing me? This can save a lot of problems. But today’s meeting should not be so simple.
“Is General Shen disappointed after meeting me?” Feng Yu joked.
“I am not disappointed, but I am amazed. You are so young, yet you had made so many contributions to the nation. I cannot be compared to you. I think no one else in China can be compared to you.”
This praise was a bit too much for Feng Yu to handle. However, Feng Yu was overjoyed. If only his parents were there to hear this General praising him.
“General Shen, you flattered me. How about this, today I will treat you. Let’s go to the newly opened Moscow restaurant in the eastern part of the city.”
“Cough……” Hou Haitao tries to remind Feng Yu of his existence in the room. This is the Aviation Factory. It should not be Feng Yu treating General Shen. What’s wrong with this General Shen too? Why was he not getting into the main subject? If he drags this conversation on, this cunning Feng Yu will not let them have the chance to ask him to do things.
“Manager Feng, actually General Shen came here for some matters. We can talk about dinner later.”
Feng Yu’s brows twitched. Still, dare to say you have no motives to meet me? If you have no motives, why did you come to Bing City all the way from Shenyang? Just to meet me? Bullshit!
General Shen took out a badge from his pocket and pinned it on Feng Yu’s chest.
Feng Yu was shocked. What’s the meaning of this? You are giving me an award? Am I a kid? I had brought so many good stuff for the country, and you are just awarding me with a badge?
“Congratulations, Feng Yu. From today onwards, you are an honorable soldier of the People’s army!”
Huh? I am a soldier now?
Damn! Soldiers are all volunteers. Since when do the military forces people to be soldiers?
“Wait, General Shen. What do you mean?” Feng Yu took off the badge and looked at General Shen.
“This is what it means. You are enlisted! Special enlistment. I guarantee that you will be at least a Major within 5 years!”
A Major is very big? Feng Yu was speechless. Didn’t you say that you will not force me to do anything? You might think that being a soldier is honorable, but this is not wartime. Now is an era of peace. Soldiers nowadays only train every day and do disasters relief work!
What Feng Yu wanted was to be a wealthy person who does nothing but enjoys life to his fullest. This was his ideal life.
“Wait, General Shen. What special enlistment? I did not agree to anything. You cannot fool me. I know the law. Now, it is not wartime, and you cannot force me to be enlisted. I reject your offer!”
“Manager Feng, this is a good opportunity for you, and you do not need to serve in the army.” Hou Haitao said.
“What do you mean?” Feng Yu was confused. If he does not need to serve in the army, then how is he a soldier?
“It is only in name. all you need to do is to contribute to the national defense.”
Feng Yu wanted to spit on Hou Haitao’s face. He knew that nothing was good when he was called to the Aviation Factory. Furthermore, Feng Yu was now a leader in his own company, and he manages a few thousand people. If he were to join the army, he had to listen to the orders from the top. Even idiots knew which to choose!
“I will contribute to the country when I have the opportunity. Now, I had already contributed more to the country than anyone else. Also, I am someone with a bad character, and I will disgrace the army. So, I think there is no need for me to be a soldier. You can give this opportunity to Director Hou’s son.”
“My son will be graduating from the University this year, and he does not need this opportunity.”
Damn. Your own son to does not even want to join the army, and you are still asking me to be a soldier? In his heart, Feng Yu had branded Hou Haitao as an evil person!
“I will be entering the University too. Beijing University. General Shen, Director Hou, I still have some matters in my company. I will make a move first. These few days, I will be traveling too. Please do not call me.”
Feng Yu left. He was prepared to fall out with Hou Haitao if he still talks to him about joining the military again!
