Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

At the same time, it will also make employees and workers feel more at home.

Of course, this is on the premise that one's job is not much worse than theirs.

Even with the stubborn belief that "only a secure job is desirable," once the gap widens to the "mid-range" level...

People will inevitably wonder why I'm still staying here, living a life of frugality every day.

Why can't we be like them and make a fortune in private or joint ventures?

Mid-range is Yang Jianguo's own definition.

There is no fixed standard; it's just a concept.

Just like the people with 10,000 yuan or a millionaire at that time.

If you have a friend who is a millionaire, you will be jealous of him, try to find out the secret to his success, and want to surpass him someday.

To be even more wicked, or perhaps contradictory, you might hope that one day you can earn more than him and trample him underfoot to humiliate him.

But if you're facing a millionaire, you only have two options: either fawn over him or ignore him.

Because your inner reason tells you very clearly.

A million is such an unattainable number for you.

Just like how no one would envy billionaires in a past life, it's too far-fetched.

They are like immortals in mythology, lying high in the clouds, having nothing to do with their own lives.

People will also clearly realize that comparing themselves with others has no valuable meaning.

So what does everything he has to do with me!

Even though the internet had become so advanced by then, people's thinking remained the same.

Moreover, this is an era of 'contrast' where information flows extremely slowly and is subject to various restrictions.

Walking down the street, you can see conservatives everywhere wearing work clothes and Zhongshan suits, with serious expressions.

But you can also see trendy young people wearing bell-bottoms, jackets, carrying cassette players on their shoulders, and wearing sunglasses.

Girls' skirts are getting shorter and shorter, and leggings are gradually becoming popular.

The bikini bodybuilding competition held in the capital city has had a profound impact on the public's awareness.

It turns out that beauty can be expressed.

Beauty is not something to be ashamed of.

Just like Han Xi in front of us, her grass-green floral skirt boldly displays her beauty.

"Jianguo, what do you think of my proposal?"

Noticing that he was a little distracted, Old Han tapped the table to emphasize the weight of his words.

"not bad!"

Yang Jianguo smiled calmly and said, "I think we can talk about the details."

Even though he didn't hear a single word, he remained completely calm.

Yang Jianguo gradually realized that he was becoming more and more like a Zheng Ke (a famous Chinese businessman).

It might be a good thing, or it might be a bad thing.

Now, he has no way of knowing.

All he knew was that he had a bottom line he had to uphold.

This bottom line is what he insists on upholding.

As long as he doesn't abandon this bottom line, he will remain himself.

These are just some inevitable changes during growth; people always change.

Water dripping wears away stone, even a stubborn rock.

Under the relentless pounding of the waves, it will become round and smooth.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it makes things easier and more reliable for him.

However, this is also a bad sign.

Angular rocks can keep ocean waves away from the coastline.

A smooth, unyielding rock, on the other hand, will instinctively choose the situation that is most advantageous to itself.

Let the waves crash over your head and engulf the coastline.

They didn't care whether there were people on the shore or not.

"Then, let's talk about the details!"

Seizing the opportunity, Old Han was determined not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance.

"of course."

Yang Jianguo stood up with a smile and said to Han Xi, "I'll have to trouble you to continue showing my wife around the back garden."

Han Xi smiled happily and said, "I wish Sister Yingzi could stay here forever."

“That won’t do. I don’t want to be alone in an empty house,” Yang Jianguo said.

Old Han laughed heartily, put his arm around Jianguo's shoulder, and walked towards the living room: "Come on, Jianguo, let's have a good talk."

"Oh, by the way, I also have some good tea here; I don't think you'd want to miss it."

"Really? It wasn't picked from those mother trees, was it?"

"Oh, you like tea too?"

"fine……"

It was already 11 p.m. when we left Mr. Han's house.

At this time on ordinary days, Old Han would have already gone to bed.

But today, he was in high spirits.

Standing at the door, watching the car drive away, Old Han turned and went back into his room.

I saw my granddaughter humming a little tune as she happily tidied up the teacups on the table.

Old Han chuckled and asked, "What's making you so happy?"

Han Xi was still in a state of joy and didn't notice the question in her grandfather's tone.

"It's okay, can't I be happy?"

"Of course not, but your happiness today isn't because nothing's wrong."

Han Xi was stunned for a moment before noticing the meaningful smile on her grandfather's face.

"Grandpa, it's not what you think."

"is it?"

Old Han nodded and said, "That would be best. I admit he is a talented and charismatic person."

She looks so young, it's truly enviable.

Seeing his granddaughter's tacit agreement, Old Han sighed with some concern: "But he's already married, you must always remember that."

"...I understand, Grandpa."

Several days later, Yang Jianguo met his former secretary, who had been gone for a long time, in his office.

The current head of the restructuring office is Tang Youshui.

Compared to when we last parted, he looked darker, stronger, and more composed.

He is more like a leader who can take on enough responsibility, which is exactly what Yang Jianguo wants to see.

“There is water. I have read the inspection report. You have done a good job.”

Upon hearing Yang Jianguo's praise, Tang Youshui humbly replied, "No, leader, I haven't done well enough."

It wasn't just modesty; in fact, he did fall short of perfection in many aspects.

However, perfection cannot be a standard.

If 'perfection' is taken as the standard, 99 percent of success in this world would be redefined as failure.

So he has done enough.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Yang Jianguo handed him a plan and said, "Take a look. This is the focus of your work going forward."

"What is this...?" Tang Youshui's expression turned sour upon seeing the title.

Addressing overcapacity in the military industry and developing cutting-edge projects...

The name is long, but the focus is only on the key points of "military industry", "overcapacity" and "high-tech".

"Sir, what did the committee say?"

This was not a job he had done before, and anything involving the word 'military' would make things much more complicated.

“Some companies will be restructured for civilian use, and we are responsible for this part.”

Hearing him say that, Tang Youshui's expression softened a bit.

He didn't want to deal with those ordinary soldiers; those who could become leaders at this time were not some refined intellectuals.

If you disagree with someone, they'll curse you out; if they say they'll beat you up, they'll beat you up.

They are even more irritable than the working class, but it's also very easy to win them over.

Once you can persuade them, these people will be your most steadfast allies and will never scheme against you or trip you up.

That's why Yang Jianguo prioritized it and asked Tang Youshui to solve it first.

"Are you sure you want to prioritize this?"

Tang Youshui had other work to do, and he had already booked his next destination.

The south, being the forefront of reform, required him to first resolve the chaos there.

"You should trust your subordinates as much as I trust you."

Yang Jianguo gave him a sound piece of advice: delegate authority.

The more power was delegated, the more Yang Jianguo understood one principle.

Delegation and trust are of paramount importance to those in positions of authority.

Work cannot be completed by one person alone.

Always!

Therefore, if Tang Youshui wants to become an excellent leader...

The first thing he needs to learn is how to delegate.

"Do you understand delegating authority?" Yang Jianguo emphasized again.

If you want your subordinates to be helpful, sometimes you have to train them yourself.

Little by little, teach them the rules and the proper way.

Noble.

That's right, Yang Jianguo was Tang Youshui's benefactor.

As long as he can keep up with the pace, what Yang Jianguo teaches him will benefit him for life.

Do you have any capable people working for you?

Since it was a delegation of authority, Yang Jianguo naturally gave him full autonomy in personnel matters.

They also wouldn't have a detailed understanding of the situation within his group.

At the very least, you won't learn about each person's strengths, abilities, personality, and so on.

All he had to do was take control of the whole situation.

Ensure that the operation of the restructuring office remains under your control.
