Chapter 730: Go to Africa

"What? Are you going to Africa?"

In Feng Xiaochen's yard, Du Xiaodi looked at his sister Du Xiaoyi, his eyes widening.

"It's not that I'm going, but that Changfeng is going, so I have to apply to be a foreign correspondent."

Du Xiaoyi nibbled the apple that his sister had peeled for her and said happily. On the other side, Du Xiaoyi's newlywed husband Huang Changfeng was whispering to Feng Fei, who had just returned from Africa, and didn't know what he was saying.

Four years ago, when Feng Xiaochen was still working in Yubei, Du Xiaoyi, a reporter from Pujiang Morning Post, went to interview the revitalization of the old industrial base in Yubei. He met An Xiangxiu, the owner of the Korean supermarket in South Korea, and asked Chinese employees to kneel down. Du Xiaoyi was angry but stepped forward to argue, which immediately evolved into a fight with An Xiangxiu. When An Xiangxiu asked her Korean assistant to attack Du Xiaoyi, Huang Changfeng, an active-duty soldier from the airborne troops, stepped forward and performed a good show of hero saving beauty.

Because of beating foreign guests, Du Xiaoyi and Huang Changfeng were taken to the Yubei Public Security Bureau for investigation. Later, with Feng Xiaochen's mediation, the storm finally ended with the Korean Supermarket admitting its mistake and apologizing. Du Xiaoyi and Huang Changfeng were also shocked and sparked sparks due to this matter. Last year, the relationship between the two finally came to fruition. Considering that Du Xiaoyi is already a 30-year-old young woman, Du Xiaodi had to mutter in her ears, asking her to hurry up and give birth to a child and stop dragging herself into an elderly mother. But who would have thought that the matter of giving birth was not settled, and the couple was going to Africa.

"To be honest, this matter is related to my brother-in-law." Du Xiaoyi said.

"Why is it related to him?" Du Xiaodi asked.

Du Xiaoyi said: "Isn't the deep-seated cooperation between China and Africa the first to propose? All units have assigned tasks and require the transfer of capable personnel to work in Africa. Changfeng and his troops also have quotas. Changfeng was the first to sign up and asked him to be sent to the country with the most difficult conditions. When I saw that he had gone to Africa, I couldn't be a Cowherd and Weaver Girl with him, right? So I applied for a job as a foreign correspondent and also to work in Africa. Sister, you don't know that dozens of people in our newspaper are competing for this position. I got this position because of Changfeng."

"But, in the African side..." Du Xiaodi didn't know what to say.

Unlike when Feng Fei stayed in Africa ten years ago, today's Chinese people already know a lot about Africa. Du Xiaodi himself has also visited Africa twice, one was attending an academic conference, and the other was commissioned by a company to help solve the welding technical problems on a construction site. With this experience, coupled with the situation when Feng Fei and Cao Jingmin came back to introduce, Du Xiaodi knew that Africa was not as wild as everyone imagined in the past. At least Feng Fei and his wife were very comfortable staying there, and Cao Jingmin also became a millionaire by growing vegetables.

However, it is a very comfortable place to stay, which is incomparable to the imagination. If compared with domestic living conditions, Africa is indeed a difficult place. The climate, diet, economic development level, public security, and various epidemics that have never been heard of are all timid. The country often mobilizes cadres to go to Africa, and it often comes with some preferential policies, such as additional allowances, and promises of rewards, promotions, etc. Even so, there are still very few people who sincerely ask to work in Africa. Most people reluctantly accept this arrangement because of the pressure from the unit or the consideration of personal future.

Du Xiaodi knows some of the situation between Huang Changfeng and Du Xiaoyi. The couple can be said to be "not a family, not a family, not a family." Both of them have some idealistic colors and want to make achievements, otherwise they would not have joined forces to fight An Xiangxiu. If someone applies to Africa to get promotion after coming back, the couple is purely for a heartbeat.

According to Du Xiaodi's original intention, he wanted to dissuade his sister and brother-in-law from giving up this idea, but Du Xiaoyi sealed her mouth at the beginning. Du Xiaoyi said that this matter was proposed by Feng Xiaochen, so what should Du Xiaodi say?

In a dilemma, the sound of a car parking outside the door was heard, and then the gate of the courtyard was pushed open. Feng Xiaochen took the lead and followed two people behind him, carrying large and small bags of things. One of them was Du Xiaodi knew in advance, and it was her younger brother Du Xiaoyuan. Feng Xiaochen had just driven to the train station to pick him up. The other surprised Du Xiaodi. This person was actually Wang Ruidong, the brother-in-law of Ruan Phoenix, the boss of Quanfu Machinery Company.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, why did you meet Xiaochen?"

Du Xiaodi quickly stood up to greet Wang Ruidong. When she passed by Du Xiaoyuan, Du Xiaoyuan weakly called her sister, but she only rolled her eyes to Du Xiaoyuan. Du Xiaoyuan quickly lowered his eyebrows and avoided his eyes, and found a seat next to Du Xiaoyi and sat down.

Wang Ruidong didn't know what happened between Du Xiaodi and Du Xiaoyuan. Seeing Du Xiaodi approaching him, he quickly put down his things, bowed slightly to Du Xiaodi, and said, "Professor Du, I'm disturbing you. Isn't this the Chinese New Year coming soon? My brother-in-law asked me to send some seafood to the leaders of the capital. I originally called Mr. Feng and asked your address, and then I asked a car to deliver it to him. As a result, Mr. Feng said he happened to be on the way, so he drove me to pick me up."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and pointed at the things that Wang Ruidong had just put on the ground and the things that Du Xiaoyuan had just carried, and said, "These are all given by Boss Ruan, scallops, squid, hairtail, and seaweed, enough for us to eat for a year."

"How can we be so embarrassed to accept so many things!" Du Xiaodi said uneasy.

"If you accept it, just collect it. I will bring some to Director Luo and Minister Meng and the others another day." Feng Xiaochen said disapprovingly.

After years of hardship, Wang Ruidong was no longer the second generation ancestor who was ignorant of the world. When he heard Feng Xiaochen's words, he quickly said: "Mr. Feng, which other leaders do you think you want to send? I will ask my brother-in-law to prepare again and send someone to the capital tomorrow."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and patted Wang Ruidong on the shoulder and said, "This is forbidden. I will take away what Boss Ruan gave me, and I will give some of them to the leaders. If you give it to them specifically, they will not take it."

Wang Ruidong said in a little disappointed manner: "Uh, Mr. Feng, I'm not saying we will give it to several leaders, I'm saying that you gave it to the leaders, we'll prepare it for you."

"No need, in fact, even if I accept these things from you, I have already accepted bribes. I risk being investigated by the discipline inspection to accept Boss Ruan's wishes." Feng Xiaochen said half-jokingly while calling Wang Ruidong to sit down.

The things Wang Ruidong sent were worth thousands of dollars, and if it were replaced by other officials, it would be a violation of discipline. However, Feng Xiaochen dared to accept them because the discipline inspection was too lazy to care about his affairs. With Feng Xiaochen's wealth, merchants used aquatic products worth thousands of dollars to bribe. Isn't this a joke? Of course, the scope of Feng Xiaochen's gifts was limited to a few friends such as Ruan Phuket, Bao Chengming, Ning Mo and other friends. He would not accept any gifts from other businessmen. This involves a matter of customs. Feng Xiaochen also paid great attention to the exchange of gifts from those friends with good relationships. Last year, Ruan Phuket's son was admitted to university, and Feng Xiaochen gave him a latest Combat computer worth more than 20,000 yuan, which is considered to be the return of all the seafood Nguyen Phuket gave him over the years.

Wang Ruidong knew Feng Xiaochen's temper and no longer had to worry about this issue. He took the tea handed over by Du Xiaodi, took a few sips, and said a few gossips to Feng Xiaochen, then he seemed to get up, saying, "Mr. Feng, Professor Du, you still have guests here, otherwise I will stay soon. My brother-in-law may also come to the capital in a few days. At that time, I will find a better restaurant and invite you two to sit there."

"Don't be busy." Feng Xiaochen reached out to stop him and said, "It's okay, Ruidong, there's no outsider here. Xiaoyuan, you have known each other just now. This is Xiaodi's sister, my brother-in-law over there, and my second uncle is talking to my brother-in-law. By the way, my second uncle just came back from Africa. He has been in Africa for more than ten years, so don't you want to talk to him?"

"Is that true?" Wang Ruidong's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Feng Fei a little differently.

Feng Xiaochen turned his head and shouted to Feng Fei and the others: "Uncle II, Changfeng, you two come and talk. I have a friend here, and I am preparing to go to Africa recently. He really wants to learn from you, Uncle II."

Hearing Feng Xiaochen say this, Wang Ruidong quickly stood up, bowed to Feng Fei and said, "Uncle Feng, my name is Wang Ruidong. My family is doing a small business in Haidong. I am now preparing to develop in Africa. I have many questions and I want to ask you for advice from Uncle Er."

Feng Fei heard the sound and smiled at Huang Changfeng, and the two of them walked over together. When they came to everyone, Feng Fei reached out to Wang Ruidong. Wang Ruidong quickly followed up and shook hands with Feng Fei. Feng Fei said: "I dare not be aware of it. Let's communicate together. Come, Xiao Wang, let's sit down and chat."

Feng Xiaochen gave Feng Fei a seat, Feng Fei sat down, and Wang Ruidong also sat down. Feng Fei asked with a smile: "Xiao Wang, which country do you plan to go to in Africa and how do you plan to develop?"

"This...I haven't thought about it very much..."
