Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"It will be ready by tomorrow morning, or even before tomorrow morning."

"Alright, we'll continue tomorrow at nine o'clock. Thank you all for making another trip."

No one dared to complain about the trouble, and they politely expressed that it was an honor to be able to participate.

"It's lunchtime, why don't we try the food in our cafeteria together? It tastes pretty good."

Who would refuse such a good opportunity when invited personally by a top leader?

The group arrived at the cafeteria and went up to the small cafeteria on the second floor.

"Sir, what would you like to eat, distinguished guests?" The head chef personally came to greet them.

Yang Jianguo didn't give anyone else a chance to speak, saying, "Eat whatever is served."

I came to the private kitchen not for the fancy food, but because I didn't want to bother the people below.

Here, it's also convenient to talk: "Mr. Ren, tell me about the history of your company, Warwick?"

The people exchanged glances subtly, but everyone could sense it.

The different attitudes of the top leaders towards President Ren.

This Mr. Ren is probably about to have some good luck.

Chapter 652 Many Years Later, Babaoshan

When he left the Ministry of Works, President Ren was still feeling a little dizzy.

How did I suddenly become a favorite of the top leader?

Not only did they praise him by name multiple times, but they also took great care of him and Hua Wei.

For a project like this one, spearheaded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and led by such a forward-thinking enterprise, Huawei's scale is probably not up to par.

When Mr. Ren first received the notification, he thought he was just there to make up the numbers and go through the motions.

He came with the attitude of learning and broadening his horizons, but he never expected...

Things turned out much better than he had imagined.

He not only got a ticket, but also successfully went on stage to become one of the main characters.

So many good things have happened in just a few days.

Mr. Ren's head was spinning from the impact, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.

How could this be?!

Mr. Ren couldn't understand it, but after feeling smug, joyful, fortunate, and secretly pleased, he finally understood.

All that remained in my heart was a heavy sense of responsibility.

Mr. Ren did not want to, and could not, betray the trust placed in him by the top leader.

Now that Warwick has successfully entered the game.

He wants to bring out his best and let everyone see their strength and potential.

The present is one aspect, but the future potential is also a value.

Trading the present for the future is what allowed Mr. Ren to survive in the company and achieve certain results.

This is the only strategic policy formulated for the company.

They must work diligently and steadily in this direction, taking one step at a time.

Now, it seems like the speed can be a little faster.

……

"Xiao'e, is Mr. Lou interested in the simulated prosthetic limb project?"

After the meeting, Yang Jianguo met with Lou Xiao'e privately and invited her to join the project.

This isn't about giving her preferential treatment; Lou's strength doesn't require such convenience.

In fact, without Lou's involvement, the preparation time for the entire project would have been extended indefinitely.

Currently in the country, Lou is the undisputed semiconductor giant.

none of them.

Any emerging technology requires the support of chips.

Similarly, Lou's method is indispensable.

Of course, they can also place orders with Lou to design and produce dedicated chips specifically for simulated prosthetic limb projects.

But how can that compare to the convenience of inviting Lou Shi to join?

They can get technical support, as well as leverage Lou's channels, funding, and network of connections.

"I'm personally quite interested, but do you know the current situation within the company..."

Lou Xiao'e helplessly spread her hands, swirled the wine glass in her hand, tilted her head back and took a small sip: "I'm afraid I'll be met with opposition as soon as I bring it up."

"I will have Loongson submit a proposal; all you need to do is agree to it."

Loongson submitted its opinions directly, and Lou Xiao'e only needed to agree.

Even if they knew that Yang Jianguo and Lou Xiao'e were behind this, and that the two had already made arrangements in private.

So what? Who dares to object?!

Lou Xiao'e smiled bitterly, speechless. His style of doing things was becoming more and more domineering.

"That's because I've found that sometimes reasoning doesn't work."

Instead of wasting time on these things, it's better to use that time to do something truly meaningful.

Lou Xiao'e turned her head to look out the window; a street musician was playing and singing on the street.

Only by forgetting the past can we know how things were supposed to turn out.

Actually, you and I have changed a lot since yesterday.

Only by persevering can we overcome the uncertainty of tomorrow's path.

Once you get used to being tired, you stop feeling anything; stop regretting or worrying about anything.

Always on the road...

"This song is really popular." Lou Xiao'e rested her chin on her hand, gazing into the distance in a daze.

That direction, in the opposite direction, is Ejima.

She was a little homesick.

Having been away from the capital for so many years, this place is slowly losing its former charm.

Each visit brings her a step further in forgetting.

On the contrary, Jiangdao's worries grew more and more.

Family, children, company, and the life she was familiar with...

"Jianguo." Lou Xiao'e turned her head and looked at him with clear eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jianguo put down his teacup and looked directly into her eyes.

"Do you have any plans to settle down on Jiangdao Island in the future?"

"These things have to wait until after retirement... I don't even know if I'll have that opportunity."

Yang Jianguo spoke sincerely, his eyes filled with openness.

I did not hide anything from her, either because I was dealing with her or for any other reason.

Given Yang Jianguo's current situation, his retirement age will be postponed by at least 20 years.

By then, he would be an old man in his seventies.

Whether I'll live to see that time, who knows!

Lou Xiao'e smiled gracefully and said, "You're in such good health, there's definitely no problem."

Yang Jianguo felt the same way, but it was best not to make any definitive statements.

"Let's hope so!" Yang Jianguo raised his glass and handed it forward with a smile, "Now that we've come this far, shouldn't we have a toast to our health?"

"Of course, cheers!" Lou Xiao'e smiled broadly.

Ding!

……

On New Year's Eve, Li Aimin brought his whole family to the courtyard house.

Now, his father-in-law and mother-in-law live with him.

Compared to last year, the two elderly people looked several years older.

The older a person gets, the faster their face ages.

Now, the two elders are in their seventies and are making preparations for their passing.

"Dad, actually I bought a burial plot in Babaoshan many years ago."

Li Aimin looked at Yang Jianguo and his wife and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I've also bought the items for both of our families."

He was referring to the Babaoshan People's Cemetery, which has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years due to the funeral industry.

Deep-rooted traditions are gradually resurfacing, leading to increasingly scarce cemetery locations and ever-rising prices.

The cemetery above is no longer there.

All that's left is the land, which isn't high up and has bad feng shui.

"Everyone wants to be superior to others, so at least bury them high up, right?"

"What nonsense! We don't believe in feudal superstitions in our family."

His father-in-law glared at him, glancing at Jianguo's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Those old traditions and feudalistic ideas were the most opposed to the founding of the nation.

The father-in-law was afraid that he would say something inappropriate and upset his son-in-law.

"Some customs are not necessarily superstitions. If you want to believe them, it doesn't affect others."

"Then, it's fine to believe it."

Yang Jianguo's previous attitude was largely due to the events of the past ten years.

In his view, these things are fine as long as you don't promote them or become obsessed with them.

It won't affect others or social stability, so it's fine to believe it yourself.

Chapter 653 Family Reunion, The Old Man's Realization

"Why do we have to talk about this during the Chinese New Year? Can't we talk about something festive?"

Everyone laughed when Yingzi said that.

Yingzi's father, holding his wine glass, said cheerfully, "My daughter is right, we should talk about something happy."

"Jianguo got promoted, Aimin's business is doing well, and Aiguo... he's been busy with work and hasn't come back, but I heard he's doing quite well too."

Meeting his father-in-law's gaze, Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "He has done a very good job in loving his country. He was even selected as an outstanding cadre this time. If he is willing, it is not impossible for him to be transferred back to the capital in a couple of years."

"Don't worry about him." The father-in-law waved his hand and said, "Wherever the organization wants him to go, he'll go. He can choose the place."

The older generation's mindset isn't about getting promoted, making money, or losing your wife.

If you become an official, you are supposed to work for the people and bring them benefits.

You're like a brick; you can be used to fill in wherever you're needed.

Although his son wasn't by his side and couldn't come back for the New Year, Yingzi's father was quite disappointed.

But when he thinks about what his son has done, he feels a great sense of pride.

I was even happier than when Aimin told me how many tens of thousands he had earned.
