Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

This morning, he quietly boarded the train and returned to Beijing to receive re-education within the organization.

From the other person's perspective, "re-education" is tantamount to saying that he is incompetent and that his previous work was wrong and incorrect.

Basically, it's telling everyone that this person's 'Zheng Zhi' career has come to an end.

Sure enough, the day after returning to the capital.

The organization internally reported on his work, using words such as "wrong," "careless," and "reckless."

Then, the other party retreated to the second line and became depressed.

As a result of this incident, Yang Jianguo's prestige and power within the organization soared to unprecedented heights.

Everyone says he's the most sought-after member of the elders.

In the subsequent self-inspection, he simply told them what to do, and they did as he said.

Even if it doesn't conform to the procedures, it's simplified and ignored.

Yang Jianguo didn't realize it at first, until someone reminded him that he should have gone through the whole process.

But because it was his order, everything was done quickly and efficiently.

The other party's intention was to curry favor with him and improve his impression of him.

See if the leader can give me some benefits before he leaves.

Even if there are no tangible benefits, at least make him remember your name.

But his actions, in turn, reminded Yang Jianguo.

I'm currently riding high on my success, so I should be more low-key and humble in my actions.

Never let those above think that he is being arrogant because of his favor.

"All processing must withstand scrutiny; the necessary procedures must be followed, and the necessary records must be kept."

Just because I gave the order doesn't mean we can bypass the rules and rush things.

Yang Jianguo wasn't worried about keeping things simple and quick; what he was concerned about was 'skipping over everything altogether.'

It's called simple and fast, but it's actually a disguised exercise of privilege.

Although some rules are too cumbersome, even to the point of being so deeply ingrained that they are criticized without any thought.

But all development is gradual.

The overall speed of socio-economic development has clearly outpaced the development of spiritual civilization and management thought.

The consequences of such actions must be borne by the individual.

……

Yang Jianguo did not persist in the entire self-inspection process in the deep underground region until the end.

Because the capital city was urging him to go back and prepare a report.

Yang Jianguo could only regretfully hand over the work to the local people.

He could already imagine what would happen after he left.

So-called self-inspection may become a mere formality for various reasons.

By highlighting a few exemplary cases, one can both gain applause and fulfill one's duty to superiors.

As for those who have connections or powerful backers...

The common people's money was split 30/70, while the wealthy and powerful...

Even if he stays, it will only be a temporary solution.

If you lock up Li Si today, a bunch of Zhang Sans will pop up next month.

They can't be killed off...

To truly curb this, policy adjustments and restrictions are still needed.

Severe punishments are not advisable, but sufficient pressure must be applied.

When is a gun most intimidating? It's when the safety is off and the muzzle is pointed at someone's head, of course.

Unfortunately, it's simply impossible to use high-pressure tactics nowadays.

If high pressure is applied, the reform and opening-up process, which is currently progressing very well, will immediately stall.

...That's really difficult!

On the way back, Yang Jianguo was not in a very good mood.

This made Li Aimin anxious, thinking that her brother-in-law was dissatisfied with something.

"Brother-in-law, what's going on... Is the progress not satisfactory? I'll call them and give them a piece of my mind when I get back."

They're always eager to collect their paychecks, but when it comes to actually doing anything, they drag their feet. If they can do it, they do it; if they can't, they're fired.

Hearing his feigned irritability, Yang Jianguo snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "What are you talking about? Even running a business requires a human touch."

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, you're absolutely right." Li Aimin nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Brother-in-law, can you tell me now?"

"Some policy matters are not of much concern to you."

In reality, it's nothing more than human nature; who doesn't have a bit of selfishness and greed in their heart?

Even Yang Jianguo, when it comes to his children and wife.

He would also 'rationally' side with them, but in reality, his 'rationality' at that time was nothing more than what he perceived as selfish behavior.

To push for funding and approval of the biological research institute for his daughter, and for his son…

Although he didn't give any prior notice, Zhiyuan's identity was actually not a secret.

It's important to understand that it's very difficult to truly conceal something within the system.

Moreover, Yang Jianguo had never kept it a secret from the beginning.

Some 'invisible' influences have a much wider reach.

Just like Zhiyuan's marriage, after the two got married, his second father introduced some reform policies in the local area.

Originally, there were always people who opposed it.

But why were these policies passed immediately after the two got married?

Furthermore, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology actively cooperated, showing even more initiative than he did.

The root cause is that Runye's second father went from being an outsider to becoming "one of us."

He's one of our own from the Ministry of Works, and also the in-law of the top leader.

The two chatted happily at the wedding, clinking glasses and drinking together.

Once this message spread, the obstacles at work were easily overcome.

I've put in so much effort, and this is something that benefits both the people and myself, so why didn't it work before?

And why is it that with just a clink of glasses from the 'big leader,' all difficulties and obstacles vanish without a trace?

Sometimes, some things are just that magical!

Chapter 593 Zhiyi's Partners Are All Together

Dirty...

As the train pulled into the station, Zhiyi stood on tiptoe to look out, while the boy standing next to her nervously tugged at his clothes.

It's like trying to tear an already flat piece of clothing into chicken intestines.

Not seeing anyone, Zhiyi straightened her heels and saw his flustered expression, and burst out laughing.

"Stop pulling, you'll ruin your clothes if you keep pulling." He patted the other person's hand.

Zhiyi reassured him, "Don't be nervous. My dad is just an ordinary person. He's not a tiger that'll eat you."

The man gave a wry smile and said, "I'm just nervous, what if..."

Zhiyi interrupted, "Why are there so many 'what ifs'? If I said it wouldn't happen, it wouldn't happen."

“We don’t have that many rules in our family. You’ll see when you meet the other people.”

Just then, a group of passengers poured out of the exit. Zhiyi hurriedly looked forward and saw her father and uncle coming out side by side.

"Uncle, Dad, over here~" Zhiyi jumped and waved forward.

"Zhiyi, haha..." Li Aimin put down his luggage, went up to give her a hug, and happily rubbed the girl's head.

"You've really grown up! How did you suddenly grow so big?" After seeing her a few more times, Li Aimin felt that she had grown up too fast.

In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up.

This also serves as a constant reminder to him that he is getting old.

"Dad," Zhiyi called out to her father, turning to look at the man beside her.

He subtly beckoned his hand, which was close to his trouser leg, inwards, and forced a smile, saying, "Dad, let me introduce you."

"Hello, Uncle, I am Qi Tongwei, Zhiyi's boyfriend."

Yang Jianguo squinted and said in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment, then blankly uttered a "hmm," completely dumbfounded.

I'm annoyed, extremely annoyed!

Not only because his name is Qi Tongwei, but also because people thought he wanted to take his precious daughter away.

Yang Jianguo used to believe that fathers-in-law should treat their sons-in-law like enemies.

He didn't believe it; it was all a rumor, nothing but a lie.

But now...

I'm annoyed, extremely annoyed.

Yang Jianguo even suspected that if he had a weapon right now...

We have to shoot him in the head!

"Pfft~" Li Aimin, in the passenger seat, looked back and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This scene is so heartwarming; it's exactly what I imagined.

"Uncle~"

Zhiyi pouted and said, shifting gears and slowing down the car, "Dad, Tongwei works at the police station. He's the head constable of the area now."

"Hmm," Yang Jianguo responded without comment.

Then, I saw my daughter looking at me in the rearview mirror.

Her eyes held a mixture of anger, displeasure, and pleading, and she had such a pitiful little expression.

"Sigh~" Yang Jianguo sighed and said to Qi Tongwei beside him, "Working at the grassroots level must be tough. How did you and Zhiyi meet?"

"Uncle, we met at a social gathering. The work at the grassroots level is going well."

Qi Tongwei didn't dare to breathe loudly at this moment. He was a kid from the mountains, with no connections and no powerful backers.

Even now, he still can't figure out how Zhiyi fell for him.

However, this is a good thing for him.

He really liked this girl, and they had a lot in common.

It was the other person's family background that made him feel uneasy.

The top leader of the Ministry of Works has absolute authority.

A person who can directly reach the ears of the emperor and hold meetings with the council of elders in the imperial city.

This person is from a completely different world than him. Qi Tongwei is afraid of being humiliated and afraid that he will lose his dignity in front of the other person.

He was even more worried about being suppressed because of this, but out of love and trust for Zhiyi.

He still came...

In reality, Yang Jianguo's feelings were even more complicated than his.
