Chapter 162 I Forgot What I Promised
Yue Feng grinned and said, “I don’t like this job, but my dad and my uncle Li can go! They are already this age, if they can get a job in the forest farm, it will be a guarantee for their retirement!

You know the situation of the village production team better than I do. You can only fill your stomach with the little harvest from the fields and the year-end dividends from the production team. When can you live a good life? “

When Yue Lei, who had not interrupted him much, heard that his son was asking for this job opportunity for himself, his eyes lit up and his mind immediately became active.

At that time, no one would be uninterested in being a worker, earning wages and eating commercial grain.

Even though Yue Feng is now running a side business and making a lot of money every year, compared with having a stable and reliable formal job, in the eyes of Yue Lei and most of the older generation, the importance of work is definitely more important than making money from a side business.

Yue Lei is now 46 or 47 years old. If he can get a job there and work for two years until he retires peacefully, it would be quite worthwhile.

“Jianguo, do you think this matter with Xiaofeng is possible?” Yue Lei’s heart was surging when he heard it, and he couldn’t help but asked.

Wang Jianguo also knew the value of a formal job. When asked by Yue Lei, he clicked his tongue slightly.

“If we can solve the actual problems of the forest farm, this requirement may be realized, but I think we should not be overly optimistic.

It is a bit difficult to get workers to go through various formal procedures. Even if they agree, it is likely to be a temporary job!
The middle and senior leaders of the forest farm are all experienced people, so they won’t give in so easily! “

Yue Feng nodded to show his approval of Wang Jianguo’s statement: “That’s true, it’s fine to be a temporary employee. If we don’t join the company, we won’t get the chance in the future. Let’s join the company first, and then slowly figure out a solution later!!

Now, the forest ranger team can only complete a small part of the annual specimen collection and New Year gifts at the forest farm, and the majority of the work is done by the hunters down the mountain. If you can take over this package of work and make good results, it should be no problem for the temporary staff to be promoted to a regular staff member!”

Wang Jianguo nodded: “That’s true! I think you can give this idea a try!”

“Then let’s give it a try. Just pay back the money on the spot after asking for a high price! If the forest farm can really give in, at worst I will just act like a grandson in front of Zhou Jianchun and let him save his face! If he is a leader with some ability, he will definitely take advantage of the situation and back off!”

Yue Feng is a guy with an active mind. He hasn’t even started working here, but he’s already thinking about how to get over the embarrassing incident last time if he can get the job, so as to avoid being bullied in the future.

After some communication, Wang Jianguo said hello and went back to answer the phone. Yue Feng personally saw Wang Jianguo out the door, then he walked into the house with his daughter in his arms.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yue Lei sitting on the edge of the kang, very excited.
“If this thing can be accomplished, it will be awesome! This is a formal job at the forest farm! A stable job!”

Yue Feng nodded appropriately: “Let’s give it a try. The Red Star Forest Farm is so big, but the forest protection team can’t even deal with a blind bear walking on ice. This in itself shows that there is something wrong with their system structure!

Who says hunters can only hunt? Didn’t the forest ranger team, with more than ten people and more than ten guns, still fail to find the black bear that hurt people? If there was a hunting expert leading the forest ranger team, he would have captured the blind bear long ago!
If the forestry leaders are smart, they will not only not oppose our proposal, but will also take it very seriously!”

Just as Yue Feng and his father were quietly discussing the practical feasibility of the job, Wang Jianguo returned home and called Zhang Dayuntong back.

Guo Jianfeng was still waiting for news from Zhang Hongbin. After hearing the conditions offered by Yue Feng, he was slightly stunned and a little undecided.

“What? It’s just a matter of two formal employees. Are you worried that your unit won’t be able to apply for it?” Zhang Hongbin glanced at Guo Jianfeng and asked curiously.

“If I hadn’t had a conflict with Zhou Jianchun last time, maybe we could have discussed this request!

The guys in the forest ranger team are all retired soldiers. Their marksmanship is absolutely good enough, but there is not a single one of them who has a legitimate hunter heritage.

The repeated attacks by black bears have exposed the shortcomings of our forest ranger team, and the leaders must be aware of this.

Zhou Jianchun seems to be a broad-minded person on the surface, but everyone who knows him knows that this grandson has an extremely narrow mind.

I am afraid that even if I agree now, Zhou will make things difficult for the newcomer after he successfully joins the company! Then we will be blamed too!”

After listening to Guo Jianfeng’s concerns, Zhang Hongbin grinned and said, “Since they dare to bring this up, they must be mentally prepared!

Let’s finish the difficult task at hand first, and then slowly figure out the rest. As for the scope of work of your forest protection team, most of it cannot be quantified. Once you are on the job, as long as you don’t make mistakes, it won’t be easy for the leader to make trouble for you!

Besides, didn’t Wang Jianguo say that they could help the forest farm with specimens and New Year gifts, as well as subsequent wild animal attacks! My direct supervisor left to get revenge, so there’s no one to do these jobs. We’re just fussing again!”

“Okay, then I’ll go back and write a report first! We need to hurry up and implement this matter. I heard that the production plan at the forest farm has been greatly affected due to the recent interference!”

“Okay! Then I won’t keep you here! Be careful on your way back. If you have any follow-up results, just call me directly using the forest farm’s phone!” “Thank you, old squad leader. I’m sorry for your trouble!”

“Get lost, that’s totally false! If I succeed, you have to buy me a drink!”

“Hey, hey, no problem!!”

……

After finding the solution, Guo Jianfeng immediately submitted the relevant application report after returning.

However, this matter cannot be decided by Zhou Jianchun alone. The main leaders need to vote on it at a formal meeting before the final decision can be made.

Zhou Jianchun was already extremely troubled by this matter at this moment. Guo Jianfeng was able to use his old reputation and contact the Yue Family Hunting Team for help through the relationship with his comrades. The fact that they were willing to put forward conditions for help was already a favor to him.

Anyway, the forest farm is a state-owned unit, and Zhou Jianchun doesn’t pay the salaries out of his own pocket, so as long as the problem can be solved, it’s fine. After simply weighing the pros and cons, he didn’t stop it and directly reported the matter normally. He will get the result after the regular meeting on Monday.

During the two days of waiting for the follow-up, Yue Feng led a rather relaxing life. In the morning, he would take the hawk up the mountain to practice flying in circles. Near dusk, the falconry team came back from catching game, and Yue Feng would gather the game together and then ride his bicycle to deliver the goods.

At the Hongqi Coal Mine canteen, after the second canteen made peace with the first canteen, they no longer needed to show off in front of the leaders, and the canteen’s overall demand for game became much more stable.

There are temporary storage cages in the food warehouse in the back kitchen, and the canteen makes overall arrangements for the food that is delivered regularly, which is sufficient to ensure that the canteen will not fail when it has a reception task.

Of course, if ordinary leaders or middle-level cadres want to eat some game, the supply will depend on the amount of food reserves.

For example, when there was continuous bad weather with wind and snow a few days ago, the specialty game in the second canteen was in limited supply.

On the second day after receiving the commission and waiting for the follow-up reply, the reply from the forest farm had not come yet, but a big guest came to Yue Feng’s house.

Ever since Yue Feng helped him catch a big eagle last time, Chen Pao had been waiting for Yue Feng to help him catch orchids the next day. However, there was a heavy snowstorm for three consecutive days, and as time went by, Yue Feng forgot about it.

After Chen Pao captured the slow-moving eagle, he and his son took turns to keep the eagle awake. Then, they followed Yue Feng’s advice and fed it water-soaked meat and lowered its shaft. It only took five days to catch the escaped eagle.

In the past two days, Chen Pao released hawks every day. When he returned to the village, he passed by the grove by the Muling River outside the village. He saw the orchid pile that Yue Feng mentioned twice.

The old man was also a kind of person who loved eagles dearly. He had always been thinking about raising a well-trained and obedient little eagle. After waiting for a few days without any movement from Yue Feng, the old man could not hold it in any longer, so he simply carried the big eagle and brought some snacks and canned yellow peaches to Yue Feng’s house.

When the distinguished guest came, Yue Feng naturally gave him a high-standard reception. Meng Yulan arranged all kinds of meat reserves in the house. At noon, Chen Pao was at Yue Feng’s house and drank eight taels of high-proof liquor before having dry food for lunch.

After they had eaten and drunk some tea, Chen Pao could no longer hold back and said, “Last time you asked me to help you catch that little blue eagle. When are you free? I was on my way to release the eagle yesterday and saw it again by the river!”

Hearing Chen Pao’s words, Yue Feng slapped his head and said, “Look at my pig brain, sir, please don’t pick on me!
Something happened at the forest farm on the mountain during the snowy days. I led the hunting team up the mountain to hunt the black bears that attacked Lengchang. Afterwards, a lot of weird things happened and I ended up forgetting what I promised you!

I will catch two sparrows tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will do nothing but catch this little orchid for you!”

“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll wait for you at home!”

“Don’t worry! This time it’s definitely true!!”

……

Yue Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable for forgetting to do what he promised. In order to make up for his mistake, Yue Feng was busy at home for half the afternoon, sewing an eagle hat suitable for the orchid stack, making tripwires for the little eagle, sewing fake bait for the little eagle to fly in circles, etc. He was busy until dark before he finished all the preparations.

After dinner, Yue Feng held his sister Jingjing and searched under the eaves again. In the cold winter, more thieves would spend the night under the eaves. He caught five sparrows in a random search, which would be enough for setting the net early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, before dawn, Yue Feng crawled out of bed early, gathered the useful nets, took the eagle gear he brought for Chen Pao, the sparrow bait for setting the net, and the wire cage used to catch the young eagle, and went straight to Chen Pao’s house.
