Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"what happened?"

"Jianguo, foreigners are making all sorts of donations to our school. What do you think of that?"

Ran Qiuye then asked him for his opinion on this current trend.

Schools take pride in receiving donations from foreigners.

Schools that take money from foreigners seem to be superior.

"...The empire's desire to destroy us will never die."

Ran Qiuye's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, saying, "That's absolutely right."

“These foreigners didn’t have good intentions. They seemed to be just taking out money, but as they did so, they started pointing and gesturing.”

"Today I feel the textbooks are not conducive to children's growth, tomorrow I feel the content is too cruel and might frighten them."

"Although it's not said explicitly, it's been hinted at that many schools are already discussing cutting the content."

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

This principle remains unchanged throughout the ages: if you've taken something or received something, you won't have the confidence to speak up.

Ran Qiuye had long disapproved of this kind of thing, but since she wasn't at their school, she was powerless to speak up.

But now, some foreigners are extending their reach into the Red Galaxy.

This made it impossible for Ran Qiuye to ignore, so she argued with the leadership.

However, most people think she is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Our international friends support our educational development, leading us to the international stage and towards modernization.

How did it become a conspiracy and trickery when it came to you?

Your idea is dangerous, comrade!

"Jianguo, actually I'm not sure if it will really be like this."

"But honestly, where in this world is there a free lunch?"

"Why are foreigners willing to donate so much money to us?"

"Donate nothing else but schools."

The largest donations went to primary and secondary schools...

There's a saying, "XXX should be nurtured from childhood," which was said by our counselor.

But now, how are we supposed to catch our kids...?

Isn't it terrifying enough that others have the final say?!

Ran Qiuye trembled involuntarily whenever she thought of these things.

Have you communicated with your superiors?

"Yes, nobody cares."

Ran Qiuye's face was full of bitterness: "They just think I'm a conspiracy theorist."

Yang Jianguo paced back and forth several times before stopping and looking at her, saying, "I don't know if the Red Star System is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, but it is also a workers' college."

“The Ministry of Industry has the right to intervene. I will pay special attention to this matter and have the relevant person in charge hold a meeting to discuss it when I get to the office tomorrow.”

"Jianguo, will he cause you any trouble?" Ran Qiuye asked with some concern.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and teased, "Qiuye, have you forgotten who I am?"

……

"Meeting." Early in the morning, Yang Jianguo asked his secretary to notify everyone to attend a meeting as soon as he arrived at work.

The meeting summarized the recent work.

First, report on past work, then raise the problems that existed in that work.

Finally, there's the matter of improvement.

How can we prevent the same problem from occurring again in our next job?

To achieve higher efficiency and faster results, we must use all our resources wisely.

This has become a routine for the Ministry of Works' meetings, and each meeting is conducted in accordance with these three departments.

Afterwards, everyone will return to their own offices.

Each person performed their duties and continued with their own tasks.

However, this time Yang Jianguo did not announce the end of the meeting, but instead raised a new question.

"Education... Hongxing Primary School and Junior High School, I would like to hear about their recent work reports."

The Ministry of Works has the right to interfere with workers' schools.

The extent of this right and the scope of its application.

It depends on the leaders of both sides, their level of authority, their skill level, and the extent of their connections.

Yang Jianguo was unaware of the extent of the other party's direct supervisor's abilities.

But he knew that he had to prove himself to the other party this time, as it concerned education and the future of the nation.

In any situation, one can remain rational, weigh the gains and losses, and consider the advantages and disadvantages.

But in education, especially in the education of children.

No compromise!!!

"The school can accept donations from abroad, but there are a few points I need to make first."

"No private gatherings, extortion, bribery, or other forms of interference are allowed... No one is allowed to interfere with the normal development of teaching materials and educational methods in any way."

Foreign knowledge is not allowed in primary and secondary school textbooks; it is prohibited in any form.

"Director, isn't this too harsh?"

Is it demanding?

Yang Jianguo said with a serious expression: "Being strict is the right thing to do. Primary and secondary schools are the time when students are establishing their outlook on life and values."

"You take stories from abroad and write them down in detail, telling children to get rich and make a fortune. Do you still think it's no big deal?"

By high school, children have already developed their own basic values ​​and are not easily influenced.

At this point, they have access to more information, can make their own choices, and no one has the right to interfere.

But it is absolutely unacceptable to 'tempt and brainwash' them when they are young.

No matter how noble you are, a human is still just an animal.

Animals possess all the instincts of animals. If left to develop freely, they will naturally seek advantage and avoid harm, choosing comfort and ease.

There are two paths in front of me: one is a lot of candy, and the other is bitter melon.

If you let any normal child choose, they would choose candy.

But what would happen if everyone chose candy and followed the path of candy to the end?

Just look at the two idiots above and below the Eagle family, and you'll understand.

"Boss, this will definitely offend the Ministry of Education."

"Why would we offend them? It's all for the good of the children, for the future of our country, to let education be education and to keep it simple."

"Isn't this exactly the Ministry of Education's goal...? Since we all share the same goal, how can there be any talk of offending anyone?"

Yang Jianguo knew, of course, that the other party was telling the truth.

He was just making excuses to change the subject.

Conflicts are bound to occur.

But he can't say that at the meeting. So be it, let him come find me...

That would be a blatant slap in the face to the Ministry of Education, leaving them humiliated.

If we can seek peace, we don't need to provoke conflict.

Besides, everything needs a 'legitimate' reason.

If you know that what you did was reasonable and justified, then it's wrong for the other party to cause trouble first.

When the time comes, Yang Jianguo will have a stronger case when seeking justice from higher authorities.

This is important most of the time.

Chapter 611 Real Estate Crisis, Providing Assistance

"Jianguo, I'm busy!"

Upon seeing the high-ranking leader, Yang Jianguo quickly stood up to greet him: "Leader, what brings you here?"

"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. I still prefer you to call me Lao Liu."

"..."

Yang Jianguo smiled noncommittally and went to close the door.

"Tell me, who has complained this time?"

There aren't many things that would get a high-ranking leader to come knocking on his door; most likely, it's because someone has complained about him, putting him in a difficult position.

Otherwise, he would simply make a phone call to his office and say something.

Yang Jianguo is busy, but the top leaders are even busier.

Neither of them had the leisure to go to the other's office for idle chatter.

"I heard you lost your temper at the meeting today."

"It's not a loss of temper, it's just that I'm a little worried."

Do you have any concerns about the donation?

"Yes, there are some. I mentioned them at the meeting."

"Hmm~"

The top leader nodded and asked in return, "Jianguo, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Old Liu, there are no small matters when it comes to education."

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the senior leader suddenly said, "In that case, I'll take care of this."

"You?" Yang Jianguo was somewhat surprised.

No, he should be said to be very surprised that Lao Liu wanted to take charge of this matter personally.

He didn't think Lao Liu was trying to protect anyone.

Since he has decided to take charge personally, the intensity of his execution will only be greater than if he were to do it himself.

In this way, the result might be better than what you want.

However, Yang Jianguo still felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, he came from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

He has an indescribable affection for the entire Red Galaxy, and this bond will not change because of his special 'identity'.

Therefore, Yang Jianguo actually preferred to do it himself.

But he also knew that he had no right to refuse.

The high-ranking leader said he was asking for his opinion, but in reality, he wouldn't allow him to refute it.

Just like Yang Jianguo, after consulting his subordinates and making a decision.

All he wanted to hear was a definite answer like "Yes, I understand."

Instead of, 'Boss, I think this and that...'

Because he has listened to all opinions and considered everything before making a decision.

At this point, he would not allow anyone to disagree with him.
