The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 74: Shen Ruofeng

"Where did Big Brother go?"

Since earlier at the train station, he had been acting a bit off. I initially thought it was because he felt reluctant to say goodbye to our third brother and them, but now it seems like that's not the case.

Fu Xiao frowned, debating whether to follow and see what was going on. However, if she was overthinking and he got annoyed, that wouldn't be good either. A quick scan with her senses revealed that her second brother was already asleep on the bed next door.

"I'll wait until Second Brother wakes up," Fu Xiao decided, closing her eyes again to rest.

In the county office.

"Ah Lun, if you can't move up this time, all your previous efforts will be in vain. I have high hopes for you, and you don't need to fear any interference from the city. Even though that person wants to support his son-in-law, ability still matters. Rest assured, this transfer is being closely watched by many people. He might play some tricks in secret, but he can't meddle with major decisions. With your excellent track record, he can't veto it."

Hearing his mentor's words over the phone, Fu Weilun smiled and said, "I understand, Teacher."

The person on the other end sounded frustrated, "Understand? I don't think you do! I just don't understand why you're so keen on staying in your little patch of land and are reluctant to move."

A sigh came through the phone. "Ah Lun, with your abilities, you shouldn't be confined to a small place like Anyang County. You've already missed one chance a year ago; make sure you seize this one..."

Fu Weilun's gaze deepened as he spoke softly, "Last time, it really wasn't the right moment. Don't worry, Teacher, I won't let you down this time."

"Good, Ah Lun. I'm getting old, and the country's future is in the hands of young people like you. I don't want to see positions occupied by incompetent individuals. You have ambition and are willing to work hard; you should aim for higher positions. I won't say more now; we can talk more when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Weilun fell into a long silence.

After a while, he calmed down a bit, walked slowly to the window, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled. In no time, the whole room was filled with the scent of smoke.

A knock on the door pulled his thoughts back to reality.

Turning around, he saw Wang Zhifeng walking in, saying, "Secretary, there's someone outside who wants to see you. He said he's an old classmate of yours."

Fu Weilun walked to his desk, sat down, discarded the cigarette butt, and said calmly, "Let him in."

After a while, the door opened again, and in walked a man in his thirties, followed by a handsome young boy.

Seeing the visitor, Fu Weilun's pupils shrank suddenly. He stood up, "Ruofeng, why are you here?"

Shen Ruofeng smiled, "Brother Lun, I came to see you."

Fu Weilun invited the two to sit on the sofa opposite, personally brewed a pot of tea, and filled the cups in front of them.

His gaze paused briefly on the boy's face, then he shifted his eyes to the old friend he hadn't seen in a long time. "I remember you were working at the Finance Department in Lin City."
