Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

In terms of connections, influence, and channels, she is far superior to Li Aimin.

In China, it would be different...

No, if you're in China, your own network is your biggest asset, why would you need to bother others?

When I arrived at the entrance of the workplace, Yingzi was already waiting for me.

Because she had given prior notice, she left her bicycle in the company's bicycle shed.

Once in the car, Yingzi said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Xiao Duan, drive a little faster on the road. I've received several calls urging us to hurry."

"Yes, Madam." Duan smiled politely and subtly quickened his pace.

Seeing her excited expression, Yang Jianguo asked, "Did Aimin invite everyone from the family?"

Yingzi said somewhat helplessly, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already guessed it."

Actually, it's not hard to guess.

Yingzi must be happy for her brother just because the restaurant is opening.

But it's not like you have your happiness written all over your face, with your eyebrows all raised.

So there must be something else that could have caused her to act this way.

Then, guessing again, there are only a few things that can make Yingzi happy.

Almost everything she did was related to her family, and she only acted this way when her family members were all together.

The answer will then become clear.

"Okay, you're the best."

Seeing his feigned arrogance, Yingzi chuckled and gave him a gentle push.

Even though they've been married for a long time, their playful antics still make one's heart flutter.

He'll have to cut back on his drinks tonight and work the night shift.

Chapter 483 Calligraphy: Turning Inspiration into Action

The name "Tianxia Zhuang" is printed in gold lettering, with a red seal in the lower left corner.

—Seventh Master.

He was a famous calligrapher among the cultural figures of Beijing, and together with two others, they were known as the "Three Musketeers".

Originally, Li Aimin wanted to ask Yang Jianguo to write a calligraphy piece for him.

He had seen his brother-in-law's calligraphy; it was hanging in the reading room of the "Book Sea" Academy.

Signed: Mr. Nan Ke.

Those calligraphy works caused quite a stir, and many students wanted to know more about them.

Who is this 'Mr. Nanke'?

Yingzi only said that he was a good friend who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not want to reveal any details.

Many people still feel deeply sorry about this, as the calligraphy world has lost another talented person.

Li Aimin was also disappointed, because his request was also rejected by his brother-in-law in the same way.

First, I hung my own work on the sea of ​​books, and then I wrote an inscription for him.

Anyone can see that 'Mr. Nanke' has a very close relationship with the Li family.

If people guess it's him then, all sorts of calligraphy events will come knocking on his door, and Yang Jianguo will be driven crazy by it.

He practiced calligraphy initially as a reward from the system.

With this skill, one can calm the mind and cultivate one's character by writing occasionally.

It's not for seeking fame or reputation that would affect my work.

His current job keeps him so busy he barely has time to breathe.

He barely has time to spend with his wife.

If he gets another empty title like a calligraphy master, he might as well forget about going home.

Left with no other choice, Li Aimin had to settle for second best.

If 'Seventh Master' found out, he'd be so angry he'd vomit blood.

Do you think my three-horse carriage has no prestige?

drip~

The car honked its horn and drove straight toward the restaurant entrance.

Upon seeing the license plate, Li Aimin grabbed his bag and went upstairs, saying, "The leader is here, please come in quickly."

The diners here today are not just gourmets from all over the country.

And then there's the network of contacts he's built up over the years—these are things he needs to cultivate carefully.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Zhang Liangyu's connections, even if used to their fullest extent, ultimately still belonged to Zhang Liangyu.

Only your own network of contacts truly belongs to you in the end.

One car after another was parked on the red carpet in front of the restaurant.

Li Aimin became a competent greeter, accompanying each guest to the door before turning back.

Raising my wrist, the brand-new Breguet ticked away.

It's almost 19 p.m., why haven't I seen my brother-in-law yet?

"Love the people."

Li Aimin, who was looking around in confusion, turned around and saw Yang Jianguo and Yingzi who had come with him.

The two asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road and walked over hand in hand.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

With the main person arriving, Li Aimin finally felt relieved.

The people he invited this time weren't there because of Li Aimin's influence.

If Yang Jianguo hadn't arrived today, many of the people sitting in the room would have made things difficult for him the next day.

The arrogance and pragmatism of those within the system are the most terrifying.

"Quite a few cars?"

I glanced at the one or two cars parked next to the restaurant, and the drivers leaning against them smoking and chatting.

All of this indicates that many leaders have come to the restaurant.

"Brother-in-law, we did invite some leaders, but these are relationships we need to maintain. We can't trouble you with everything."

Li Aimin was frank and open, and admitted it directly.

His brother-in-law isn't some old fogey; he uses his connections and networks when necessary.

As long as what you do is in accordance with your conscience, that's enough!

At first, Li Aimin didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Shouldn't it be about obeying the law?"

Yang Jianguo gave a different answer: "Abiding by the law is just the bottom line, there's nothing to brag about."

Conscience is the standard by which right and wrong are measured.

Li Aimin didn't quite understand at the time, but after several years of business experience, he has come to understand.

He probably understood.

Sometimes, humans are more terrifying than any other animal on earth.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Yang Jianguo, accompanied by Yingzi and Li Aimin, entered the restaurant.

They sat in the lobby, but their eyes kept glancing at the guests at the entrance.

When I saw him come in, the anxiety in my heart vanished instantly.

'This trip was worthwhile.'

These people are not admirers of Yang Jianguo, and many of them have no connection with him at all.

But the gaze directed at him at this moment still burned with passion.

Nothing more than profit!

The restructuring of enterprises under Yang Jianguo's control involved enormous profits.

After a year of observation, he has developed a basic framework for the requirements and standards of the reform.

Those who want to get involved in this are well aware of this.

They possess considerable strength and management capabilities, and genuinely want to lead the restructured company in its proper operation.

His selection criteria was based on the ability to provide employment for workers.

Tang Youshui's previous statement, "As long as you are genuinely interested in high-quality development, we welcome you with open arms," ​​is consistent with the facts.

Therefore, many people want to turn their feelings into action.

However, it is not easy to meet Yang Jianguo.

Especially in private settings, since their status makes formal visits inappropriate.

Yang Jianguo had previously considered whether or not to include the second generation in the restructuring.

However, judging from the current progress of the reform, Yang Jianguo believes that it is necessary.

If you have the ability and ambition, you really should become the second generation of the business.

The resources, channels, and connections they possess are undoubtedly a good thing for businesses.

As for whether it's fair or not, Yang Jianguo couldn't give a response.

The word "fairness" has different definitions in different people's minds.

What is fairness?

Is it fair that three generations sacrificed themselves for the wealth and status of their descendants?

Given the same opportunity, some seize it, weathering many storms to become wealthy and prosperous, leaving a legacy for their descendants. Others fail to seize it, leading a peaceful and uneventful life with harmonious families and happy days. Is that fair?

Fairness in the narrow sense simply does not exist.

The fairness that most people demand is nothing more than an indictment of their discontent.

In other words, what is beneficial to me is considered fair, and what is detrimental to me is considered unfair.

Therefore, Yang Jianguo does not believe he can give an accurate answer to whether it is 'fair or not'.

He only knew that what he needed to do most right now was to complete the reform as soon as possible and stimulate market vitality.

And ensure that all the workers have food to eat.

As for their own definition of 'having food to eat,' whether they are satisfied with it or not.

Riding the wave of opportunity, are the ordinary people or the second generation who are willing to work hard the ones who benefit from this wave of opportunities?

These are not things he needs to consider.

Therefore, he did not reject contact with the leaders present.

But if someone comes here with the attitude of 'I don't want to do anything, I just want to make money,' then they've definitely come to the wrong place.

"Brother-in-law, I've made all the arrangements in the backyard."

Upon arriving in the backyard, Yang Jianguo met the main characters.

There are not only internal system microphones, but also microphones representing various places and individuals.

These people were exceptionally polite to Yang Jianguo, and their words implied that they wanted to find a job for the child of their "leader".

At the same time, we will also contribute our share.
