Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 29: The Way of Being an Official

On the day after Zhang Haixin and Li Xiaofei, those whom Chen Guobang called black wolf and rat also arrived in Shenzhen one after another, which made Chen Guobang, Zhang Haixin and Li Xiaofei very happy. After all, they had not seen each other for several years and now they were gathered together again, how could they not be happy?

After Chen Guobang's introduction, Lu Shaohua also knew their names. Black Wolf's real name was Du Xiaofeng, and he was a fierce character in the army. He was very cunning, so he got the name Black Wolf. Mouse's real name was Fang Jiasheng, and they called him Mouse because of his short height, but he was not as fragile as Mouse. On the contrary, when he got ruthless, everyone had to give him some ground.

Lu Shaohua did not dare to doubt the strength of the four comrades called by Chen Guobang. No one who could come out of that special unit was useless, and no one who did not have a skill was not good enough. Of course, it was inevitable for the five of them to celebrate together, so at noon on the day when Du Xiaofeng and Fang Jiasheng arrived, they went to Weng Wende's restaurant for a meal.

……

Lu Chang expressed his doubts about the arrival of Zhang Haixin and others. He didn't know why Lu Shaohua called so many people to help, but he never asked. He knew that Lu Shaohua must have his reasons for doing so, and he had been waiting for Lu Shaohua to give him an explanation.

That day, only Lu Shaohua and Lu Chang were left in the shop, and everyone else went to rest. Lu Shaohua also knew about Lu Chang's doubts, but he had never found a good opportunity to explain to him. Now that they were the only two of them, he felt that he should solve Lu Chang's doubts.

"Uncle! Are you wondering why I asked the four of them to come and help?" Lu Shaohua did not explain directly to Lu Chang, but asked the question in Lu Chang's mind first.

"Well, my uncle knows that you have your reasons for doing this, but I really can't understand why you have to call four people over?" Lu Chang put down the work in his hands and asked calmly.

"Haha, uncle, you should be able to see that these four people are unusual, right?" Lu Shaohua did not answer Lu Chang's question but asked a question instead.

"It's a little different, but it's normal for soldiers to be strong." Lu Chang said, knowing only one side of the story.

"Wrong, they are not ordinary soldiers, including Brother Guobang." Lu Shaohua retorted.

"Haha, what's the difference between being a soldier?" Lu Chang knew nothing about soldiers. He simply thought that soldiers were soldiers, and there was no difference between them.

"No, there are many kinds of soldiers. There is a very good group of soldiers in the army. They are called 'special forces'. 'Special forces' can also be called 'agents'. Because each of them has a special skill, they usually carry out some unknown secrets, so they are not known to people. And the five of them are all from this 'special forces' unit." Lu Shaohua stopped here. He was giving Lu Chang time to accept it.

"What? Special Forces?" Lu Chang was shocked. He didn't expect the army to have different ranks. He originally thought that there were only two ranks in the army: officers and soldiers. But he didn't expect there was a designation like "Special Forces." But at the same time as he was shocked, he was even more curious about why Lu Shaohua knew so much.

"That's right, they were 'special forces'. Maybe you don't know this time, but when I went home this time and was buying fruits, four 'social youths' came to make trouble. But Brother Guobang knocked them all to the ground in less than ten seconds, with either their hands or their feet broken." Lu Shaohua dropped another bombshell, constantly irritating Lu Chang's nerves.

Shocked, this was another fact that he could not accept. Knocking down four people in less than ten seconds, what a concept. In Lu Chang's mind, except for 'Superman', perhaps no one could do it.

After Lu Shaohua dropped the bombshell, he said leisurely, "Uncle, our business is getting bigger and bigger now, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble. I'm just in case. Besides, we are short of manpower now, and they are from the army, so their character and quality can be trusted in all aspects."

"Well, what you said makes sense. We are indeed short of manpower now. Besides, it is impossible for my uncle to help here for a long time. Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you that my uncle has already contacted my uncle, and my uncle has already found the connections. I will go to work at the county government in two months, but I haven't decided what job I will do yet." After a long talk with Lu Shaohua, Lu Chang had already decided not to teach. So not long after graduating and returning home, he went to find their distant 'uncle' and expressed his unwillingness to teach, and asked his uncle to use his connections to get a job in a government department.

"Really?" Lu Shaohua thought he had heard it wrong. He was having a headache about his uncle's problem, but he didn't expect it to be solved like this.

"Yes, it's true, but I guess since you just started working, your position may not be very high." Lu Chang nodded affirmatively, but when he mentioned the position, his forehead wrinkled, and he seemed a little worried.

"Hahaha, uncle, everything starts from scratch." Lu Chang said, and secretly added in his heart: "Uncle, give me three years. After three years, I will give you a smooth road."

"Don't worry, since your uncle has chosen this path, he will stick to it to the end." Lu Chang seemed to have regained his confidence and said while clenching his fists.

"Haha, this is my uncle. Oh! By the way, uncle, when you enter the officialdom, especially when you first enter, you must listen more, watch more, and talk less." Lu Shaohua said with a serious expression. Of course, Lu Shaohua also knew a little bit about the unspoken rules of the officialdom in his previous life. In the officialdom, the main thing is to stand on the right side. If you stand on the wrong side, your future will be over.

"Listen more, watch more, and talk less." Lu Chang repeated to himself what Lu Shaohua had just said.

"That's right, there are also unspoken rules in the officialdom. Standing on the wrong side is the main thing. If you stand on the wrong side, your future will be ruined." Although Lu Shaohua's words were a bit serious, he was definitely not exaggerating. This was an ironclad fact. However, he was not worried about Lu Chang's future at all. As long as he listened more, watched more, and talked less, and persisted for three to five years, his future would be bright.

"Okay, uncle will listen to you. Listen more, watch more, and talk less." Although Lu Chang was a little frightened by Lu Shaohua's words, he knew that Lu Shaohua said this to him just to sound a wake-up call.

"Haha, uncle, you're right to do as I say." Lu Shaohua knew that Lu Chang understood the true meaning of this sentence, so he put aside his serious expression and said with a smile.

"Hmph! Little brat, you are the only smart one." Lu Chang looked at Lu Shaohua's mature expression and couldn't help but knocked him on the head and said.

"Oh, I knocked them silly." Lu Shaohua complained, and then seemed to remember something and continued, "Uncle, didn't you ask me about the money for transporting fruit last time?"

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this. How on earth did you manage to get so many fruits without a lot of money?" Lu Chang just remembered this and asked in shock. He actually saw a large amount of fruits being transported down.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed first, and then told Lu Chang everything about his journey home.

The more Lu Chang listened, the more shocked he became. His expression kept changing and cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead. After Lu Shaohua finished speaking, the two words that came out of his mouth were "excellent".
