Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Around noon, the higher-ups came to visit, and the big boss made an excuse to send the two of them out.

Standing at the door, Yang Jianguo said to his older sister, "Sister, the caregiver arranged by the company will be here soon."

"If you need anything after that, just call home, and I'll take care of the rest."

The older sister's emotions have stabilized in the past two days, and she nodded when she heard him say that, saying, "Yes, I know."

Actually, this might be a good thing. After so many years of busy work, it's time to take a few years off and enjoy life.

Yang Jianguo couldn't refute his older sister's words.

"I have to go to my workplace first, and I'll come see you after work," Yang Jianguo said, taking his leave.

No matter how big the problem is, work must go on.

Upon arriving at work, Yang Jianguo first called Wu Mei over and asked, "Have you heard who's coming?"

Having worked as a secretary for so long, Wu Mei certainly knew what he meant.

Turning back and closing the door, Wu Mei stepped forward and whispered, "Some say it's someone being transferred from outside the system, but the specific candidate is still unclear."

Yang Jianguo frowned, thinking to himself, "Are they going to transfer an outsider?"

This news was a mixed blessing for him.

Those who come from outside are likely to be completely ignorant and give misguided orders, causing all sorts of trouble.

But it could also be the younger generation, who are daring and adventurous, and more willing to let everyone give full play to their abilities.

Another point is that it's highly unlikely that he has offended her.

Yang Jianguo has accumulated a lot of connections over the years, but he has also offended a lot of people.

Previously, with a high-ranking leader keeping things in check, no one could do anything about it.

In the future, who knows what might happen!

"lead."

Xiang Shaodong, Tang Youshui, and others arrived at the office at almost the same time.

As their leader, Yang Jianguo was worried about the various changes that would occur after the big leader got into trouble.

How could those who followed him not be worried?

Yang Jianguo, who had received the news in advance, was not surprised and invited the others to sit down.

"He definitely won't be able to become the top leader. A new leader will be appointed from above. We'll have to wait and see what happens."

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up; it won't crush you."

"Also, do your job well, whether it's restructuring or research, you can't neglect it."

Anyone who delays the progress will be the first to face my wrath.

To reassure his subordinates, Yang Jianguo didn't invite them to stay for dinner and sent them all back home.

Only Hua Zi asked him to stay behind and inquire about his recent studies.

Fang Guohua did not let him down. He was conscientious and responsible at work, and even went to adult night school after work.

He said he wanted to go to university to improve his abilities.

Ask him why he did that.

Hua Zi scratched his head sheepishly and said with a silly grin, "I always feel that learning more is not a bad thing."

That's absolutely right; sometimes, doing certain things...

You don't necessarily have to gain something before you do it. As long as you are willing to do it, time and effort will surely bring you the richest rewards.

"Do as you say!"

Yang Jianguo expressed his support and encouraged him to move step by step toward his goal.

Everything given by others is an illusion; only what you earn with your own hands is real.

True and precious wealth that belongs only to oneself!

Yang Jianguo has no detailed, fixed plans for Fang Guohua's future.

There is only one possible outcome: a successor.

However, this is not fixed; ultimately, it depends on him to fight for it.

How far Fang Guohua can go ultimately depends on his own abilities.

Now, he's doing very well.

At least Yang Jianguo is satisfied with his short-term plans.

Going to university not only allows you to learn knowledge, but the certificate you receive is also very useful.

These past two days, I've finally heard some good news.

When Yang Jianguo went to the hospital again, his expression showed a more relieved and calm demeanor.

The matter is settled, so let's just face it openly and honestly.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the high-ranking official sent his wife to buy food and also dismissed the caregiver.

Only then did he tell Yang Jianguo about the results of his conversation with the leaders that day.

The top leader offered corresponding advice to his successor.

And he emphasized his importance in the reform.

"Although I suggested to the leaders that they consult your opinion."

But what if someone asks you...? Anyway, be prepared.

Seeing Yang Jianguo deep in thought, the senior leader pressed him, "Do you have any suitable candidates in mind?"

Yang Jianguo was considering this matter, but he really didn't have a suitable candidate.

From the very beginning, in his mind, the only person who could be in this position was a high-ranking leader.

At the last social dance, he realized that the big boss was no longer young.

I wanted to ask him about his future plans. If the top leader is planning to retire, then Yang Jianguo should start preparing in advance.

But the top leader's reply to him was "delayed retirement".

Therefore, Yang Jianguo was relieved.

Then what!

The top leader suddenly fell ill; everything happened so unexpectedly.

Now, suddenly he's being asked to find a suitable candidate.

"Jianguo, aren't you taking this a little too seriously?"

The senior leader suddenly interrupted his thoughts, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "It's just a consultation; did you think you were making the decision?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, but don't overestimate yourself either."

"You only have a tiny bit of advice on this matter, understand?"

Yang Jianguo was both amused and exasperated, scratching his head awkwardly, "Sorry, sir, I forgot..."

"It's nothing serious, no need to apologize to me." The senior leader smiled and tried to sit up.

The next moment, however, the person suddenly started coughing.

"Sir, please don't be agitated. Are you alright? Do you feel unwell? I'll go get a doctor."

"Don't panic."

The big boss stopped him, leaned back on the pillow and relaxed: "I'm not a glass doll, I'm not that delicate."

"Also, I have a couple of things to tell you about work."

The top leader knows his personality very well; he seems like an easy person to get along with on a daily basis.

But when it comes to work-related issues, he becomes more unruly than anyone else.

It's like suddenly becoming a rebellious child.

They agree perfectly at home, but once they leave the house, they do whatever they want.

They don't take you seriously at all!

By the time you confront him again, everything will be over.

Would scolding him do any good?

Actually, it does have some use; at least the attitude of admitting mistakes is top-notch.

They make all sorts of promises, guarantees, and apologies to you.

Next time...

You'll do it again next time, I promise I won't change!

"Boss, I didn't do what you said..."

Before he could finish speaking, the senior leader raised his hand to stop him.

"I know your stubbornness all too well."

Don't pretend in front of me.

The senior leader's smile faded, and he said seriously, "However, once the new leader takes office, you will definitely have to change this temper of yours."

"Jianguo, you should know when to bow your head."

I've bowed my head to people and compromised before!

With his hands shrugged, the senior leader said frankly, "But look, haven't all the things that needed to be done been done?"

There was something that didn't get done; that's the charm of compromise.

“I know you don’t like to compromise and believe that some things are non-negotiable, that’s because you haven’t found the balance.”

"As long as a balance can be found, there is nothing in this world that cannot be compromised."

“We are deeply influenced by Confucianism, and we believe in balance and moderation in everything… Tai Chi has become quite popular recently.”

We must keep pace with the times; we can't just focus on helping others progress while we ourselves remain stagnant.

The conversation with the top leader lasted for two hours.

Finally, his older sister came in and reminded him that it was getting late and it was time to eat.

This interrupted their conversation, and Yang Jianguo also got up to take his leave: "Commander, I will come to see you another day."

"Don't come anymore. I should go home to rest in a few days. Come over for a cup of tea then."

Yang Jianguo nodded in response, "Okay, then I'll come to your house next week."

It was only when he suddenly went to see his superior that Yang Jianguo realized how important he was to him.

Without the support of a high-ranking leader, he would be unable to realize any of his ambitions and ideas.

Han Xi, who was waiting in the car at the entrance, saw Yang Jianguo come out of the hospital.

She hurriedly got out of the car, opened the door, nodded to him, and asked, "Sir, are you going home now?"

Yang Jianguo stopped and said, "I already told you there's no need for this."

"That won't do. All other secretaries are like that. If I'm the only one who's different, outsiders will think you're a bad leader and have no manners!"

If the office director were here, Han Xi would definitely get a scolding.

What secretary would describe their leader as "incompetent in leadership"?

Is this something a secretary should or should say?

But Yang Jianguo just pointed vaguely with his finger, and got into the car with a wry smile after Han Xi playfully stuck out her tongue.

Since becoming close to Mr. Han and getting to know each other.

Han Xi is becoming increasingly unruly in front of me.
