50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 186 Turning point
Dissenting votes:
Africa: 15 countries; Americas: 13 countries

Asia: 4 countries, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.

Oceania: 2 countries, Australia and New Zealand.

Europe: 1 country, Malta.

Abstentions:
美洲：5国；亚洲：7国；非洲：1国；大洋洲：1国；缺席：2国

Europe: 3 countries, Spain, Greece and Luxembourg.

At that time, there was only one vote against and three abstentions in the whole of Europe.

Later, Saudi Arabia, which had a good relationship with us, voted against it this time;
The 'Israel State' that had been flirting with the bald man voted in favor of us.

Some countries stick to their positions, some look forward to future benefits, some are followers, some are fence-sitters, some act purely to cause trouble for others, and some don't care.

It cannot be simply judged by camp or friendliness.

The complexity and diversity of international relations in this era are evident.

In fact, not so many countries voted in our favor in the last vote.

The key turning point between the last vote and this one was Kissinger's secret visit in July this year and Nixon's planned visit next year.

People who are involved in diplomacy are so smart that they can predict subsequent changes based on the slightest sign of trouble.

The Americans' proactive contact allowed many people to see changes in the future situation, and everyone's attitude began to change, which even the Americans themselves did not expect.

Therefore, most people are not mentally prepared for this result. Even the two countries that initiated the vote are just showing goodwill to China as usual. After all, they have to be worthy of our investment and aid.

Otherwise, we would have had no one present when the vote was taken that day, and we would not have received the notification from the UN General Assembly until the next day.

In addition, the country was dealing with important matters at the time, and it was not until a few days later that someone rushed to the UN to take up the seat and raise the national flag in the square.

This year, China's accession to the UN General Assembly represents that we have entered a new stage in the world.

Also this year, the country entered a turning point, with three changes highlighted around Sun Zhiwei.

First, at the end of October, Sun Zhiwei himself was officially appointed as the organization secretary of the kindergarten, and his rank was promoted to level 10.

This was the appointment he had been looking forward to for a long time. The previous two principals had also served as secretaries, and now his wish had finally come true.

Second, my brother-in-law Lin Weiguo was transferred to the Jia City Armed Forces Department as a regular officer in November, and his rank was adjusted to level 11.

Regarding Lin Weiguo's transfer, Sun Zhiwei had to sigh that his father-in-law had a unique vision and flexible tactics.

The timing of the transfer was perfect, and the position was appropriate. It would be a good fit for him to move to a government department, public security, procuratorate, or court in the future.

As long as Lin Weiguo can maintain his composure and not choose the wrong side in the future, promotion is just around the corner.

Third, at the end of November, Lao Zhang was transferred back to the security compound from the northern engineering front, and was promoted one level, officially joining the ranks of "meat and egg cadres."

Although "meat and egg cadres" are no longer given meat and eggs, they still have other benefits.

For example: The cigarette coupons that Lao Zhang will receive in the future will be upgraded from Class B to Class A. He can now live in a high-ranking official's house, has a car, and can even have a waiter at home to take care of his daily life.

This was a far cry from his previous treatment.

Once you step into the senior cadre level, your life will improve immediately. It’s not that you have much more money, but your living expenses are obviously offset by a lot of high welfare, which makes your life seem a lot more affluent.

At the end of December, Sun Zhiwei took some time to visit Old Zhang's home alone, bringing some gifts but not spending much time there. Although Old Zhang had a higher rank, he hadn't shown any significant improvement in handling family issues.

His eldest daughter still lives like a nanny at home, and is bossed around by two elderly people and two younger brothers in front of Sun Zhiwei.

Old Zhang was indifferent at the scene, which made Sun Zhiwei look down on him even more. He didn't know whether Old Zhang had changed or he hadn't noticed it before.

Therefore, he only planned to maintain limited personal contact with Lao Zhang, and forget about family contact, so as not to lead his own children astray.

After returning home, he told Tong Jiajia in detail about the situation of the Zhang family.

Then he told her to take care and keep her children away from the Zhang family. That family was not to be trifled with, especially the two old and two young ones. If they got entangled with them, they would be in big trouble.

The godfather and godmother also had some complaints about this. They felt that Old Zhang was being dragged down by his family, but Sun Zhiwei did not think so.

People's circumstances are the result of their own choices. If Lao Zhang really wanted to change, as the pillar of the family, he could definitely change, but Sun Zhiwei did not see any intention of him to change.

These are other people's family affairs. Even if Sun Zhiwei wants to interfere, it is not easy to do so. Therefore, he feels more and more that it is better to turn a blind eye.

If you really can't stand it in the future, just reduce your contact with their family.

Time quickly enters the new year, and during the New Year, relatives and friends visit each other.

Sun Zhiwei asked Tong Jiajia to entertain the third, fourth and fifth sons of the Sun family at home, while he himself went to the Zhang family alone with the New Year gifts.

Old Zhang asked him to sit for a while, but because there were too many visitors, Sun Zhiwei took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Lao Zhang wanted to see him off, but there were other guests at home, so it was obviously inappropriate.

At this time, Zhang Guizhi, the eldest daughter of Old Zhang, unexpectedly stepped forward and wanted to take her father to see the guests off. Old Zhang agreed after a little hesitation.

Sun Zhiwei thought Zhang Guizhi would send him to the door, but the two of them walked farther and farther away, and even after they left the security compound, she still didn't look back.

When they reached the alley at the back door of the security compound, he had to stop and was about to let her go back.

As a result, Zhang Guizhi suddenly bowed to him and said, "Brother, please help me."

Sun Zhiwei was a little confused: "Guizhi, what are you doing?"

"Brother, I know you can't stand the situation at home. I just ask you to have pity on me and give me some advice to help me get out of this predicament."

"Father always said you were the smartest person he had ever met. You must have a way."

Sun Zhiwei was silent for a while before asking, "Why did you suddenly come to me today?"

What I mean is, you've been doing this for more than a day or two, you've endured it for more than ten years, and now you suddenly don't want to endure it anymore?

Although the girl did not have a high level of education, she was very smart and she understood what Sun Zhiwei said.

"Grandma wants to marry me off to a bad guy in my hometown village."

"Why does she do this?" Sun Zhiwei was a little puzzled. What benefits would there be in marrying his granddaughter back to the countryside?

"That family said that as long as I get married, they will be responsible for reserving the cemetery and homestead for my grandparents in the village."

"What about your father? What's his attitude?"

"My grandmother told my father that he must not be separated from the masses and must not forget his roots. Although my father did not agree yet, he did not refuse either."
