491: You've really brought honor to the Lin family!

Throughout the afternoon, Lin Zifeng received many calls congratulating him, including some from his classmates at the Provincial Party School, as well as some township Cadres.

These people had received the news a bit later, and some even wanted to invite him to dinner.

Before he knew it, it was time to get off work, so Lin Zifeng tidied up a bit and left directly.

Lin Zifeng took a car home, then picked up Chen Yuxi and their daughter and drove toward his parents' house.

"Wife, did you pick up Grandpa and Grandma?"

Lin Zifeng asked while driving.

"After I finished lunch, I took my assistant to pick up Grandpa and Grandma. I was afraid that if I didn't go myself and just sent staff instead, they wouldn't come.

It's a good thing I went; otherwise, Grandpa and Grandma definitely wouldn't have come. Even with me going, I had to persuade them for quite a while!

In the end, I played my trump card: you. I said that their Eldest Grandson missed them, but was too busy with work to go back and visit, and that's the only reason Grandpa and Grandma agreed."

Chen Yuxi said with a smile.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's account, Lin Zifeng said gratifiedly, "You're very thoughtful, wife."

"There's no need to be polite between us."

The couple chatted along the way, and Lin Zifeng soon drove the car into the Residential Community.

After the family of three got out of the car, they walked upstairs together.

When the family of three entered the room, the Old Couple, Lin Zhenqiang and his wife, were sitting on the sofa, while Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua were bringing dishes out from the Kitchen.

Lin Zifeng carried Lin Yining to the Old Couple, and the father and daughter happily greeted them, while Chen Yuxi went to the Kitchen to help serve the dishes.

"Eldest Grandson, I heard from my granddaughter-in-law that you missed your grandfather and me?"

Li Lan asked with a kind face.

Lin Zifeng sat down beside his grandmother, took Li Lan's hand in his, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I really did miss you and Grandpa.

I was too busy with work to get away, so I had Yuxi go pick you and Grandpa up."

"You're already thirty years old, why are you still acting like a child?

How long has it been since your grandmother and I went back after the New Year? You brat, making your wife bring us back here again? Honestly."

Lin Zhenqiang was happy in his heart, but his words were insincere.

"You old thing, isn't it normal for our grandson to miss us? He brought you here to enjoy a few days of comfort, and you're still nitpicking. You really don't know what's good for you."

Li Lan was displeased and began to scold Lin Zhenqiang.

At this moment, Lin Jiahua placed a plate of food on the dining table and said, "Mom, Dad, Zifeng, come and eat! The food is all ready."

Lin Zifeng stood up and said, "Grandpa, let me have a few drinks with you!"

Lin Zhenqiang happily agreed, then stood up with Li Lan and walked toward the dining table.

Soon, the whole family was seated around the dining table. Lin Zifeng picked up the White Liquor bottle and poured a glass each for Lin Zhenqiang and Lin Jiahua, then poured one for himself.

The family began to eat dinner happily. No one knows a son better than his mother; Zhang Chunhua asked while eating, seemingly casually, "Zifeng, Yuxi, do you two have something on your minds?"

Chen Yuxi looked at Lin Zifeng, a smile on her lips, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Zifeng had intended to wait until after dinner to tell his family about his appointment in Fengnan City, but now that his mother had asked, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, the Provincial Party Standing Committee has passed a new appointment for me.

In about a week, my appointment will be officially issued."

Hearing the news Lin Zifeng announced, the whole family looked at him. Zhang Chunhua spoke first, asking with a concerned face, "Zifeng, are you getting promoted again?

I heard Yuxi mention a while ago that you might become the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of our Chunhua City. Are you going to step down from your post in Yushu City and take up a position in Chunhua City?"

"Mom, there have been some changes to my appointment. Not only am I stepping down as the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City, but I am also stepping down from all my positions in Chunhua City.

I am being transferred to Fengnan City to serve as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and acting mayor."

Lin Zifeng announced the news directly.

Upon hearing the news Lin Zifeng announced, the father and son, Lin Zhenqiang and Lin Jiahua, looked very happy.

Lin Zhenqiang smiled and said, "This is truly great news! Being directly promoted to mayor of a Prefecture-level City is a huge step forward!

My grandson is only thirty years old and is already a departmental level local official. This really brings honor and glory to our old Lin family!"

Lin Jiahua nodded with a smile and said, "Your grandfather is right. Being so young and already becoming the mayor of a Prefecture-level City is absolutely unique in our Huanan Province!

I originally thought that even if you advanced as quickly as possible, it would take a few years to reach this point! I didn't expect you to reach this step so soon.

This is truly a joyous and celebratory occasion! Come, let's toast your grandfather, the three of us, grandfather, father, and son, let's celebrate together."

Lin Zifeng certainly wouldn't refuse. He raised his glass and toasted Lin Zhenqiang with Lin Jiahua, and the old man laughed heartily with joy.

Seeing the happy father and son, Lin Zhenqiang and Lin Jiahua, Zhang Chunhua muttered softly, "Zifeng being able to advance further is indeed worth celebrating.

But Fengnan City is so far from Yushu City; in the future, Zifeng and the others won't be able to come back for dinner every week like before."

"Chunhua, Zifeng is a state Cadre and must obey the organization's arrangements. Let alone taking a post in Fengnan City, if he takes a higher position in the future, it would be normal to take a post in other provinces.

We cannot cause Zifeng trouble and pressure just because we are reluctant to see our son travel far away!"

Lin Jiahua put down his glass and said.

Seeing Lin Zhenqiang nod in agreement, and seeing the attitude of the father and son, Zhang Chunhua had no choice but to nod and say nothing more.

Lin Zifeng quickly said, "Mom, just because I'm going to Fengnan City to take up a post doesn't mean I'm not coming back.

It might be a bit busy at the beginning, but I'll be able to come back often in the future.

Besides, My father is retired, so you can travel and visit me at the same time!"

"Zifeng is right, Mom. Transportation is so advanced now, it's very convenient to go anywhere. You can also come over and stay with us for a while in the future!"

Chen Yuxi chimed in.

Hearing what the couple said, Zhang Chunhua's expression returned to normal, and she said with a smile, "This news was just too sudden, I couldn't react in time for a moment.

How could I not support my son's work? You are right, Zifeng is busy with work, so Your Father and I can go visit you in the future!

However, in two months, our Xiao Yuan will have her College Entrance Exam. Even if we want to visit you in the future, we have to wait until after our Xiao Yuan takes her College Entrance Exam and gets into college."

The atmosphere at the dining table became cheerful again. Lin Zhenqiang and Lin Jiahua were happy in their hearts and both drank an extra glass.

After dinner, Lin Zifeng chatted with his grandparents and parents for over an hour, and only left with his family of three when Lin Yining started to get sleepy.
