Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

We simply can't afford to waste any more time here...

"What's wrong, Mr. Yang? Is something urgent? Haha, someone as busy as you certainly can't stay idle."

"Why don't you go first, and we can discuss it here ourselves?"

Hearing Liu Zhi's sarcastic remarks, Yang Jianguo stood up and said frankly, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment with the Third Elder. There is an urgent matter that I need to consult with him on."

With the three elders in place, no one could say anything.

Liu Zhi smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, 'They really are making a mountain out of a molehill.'

Yang Jianguo paused at the door after leaving the meeting room.

He glanced back at the closed door, paused for a moment, and then set off again.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well not try to avoid it.

It's time to clean up the unhealthy practices within the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chapter 737 Helpless in the Face of Life, All Within History

The meeting with the Third Elder did not take too long.

Each of these elderly people's time is measured in seconds.

The Third Elder has a heavy burden, and sometimes when a minister like him comes to ask for instructions, 15-30 seconds is already the limit.

Therefore, reports should be brief, clear, and get straight to the point. The only thing to consider is how to clearly express things within a limited time.

As a close associate of the Third Elder, Yang Jianguo naturally received special treatment.

Therefore, he gets 2 minutes.

After briefly reporting on the current work progress, Yang Jianguo told him everything about Han Lao, including Li Junzhang's defection and his own thoughts.

"Building a nation, sometimes it's not about whether you want to act or not, but about a force pushing you forward. If you don't move, millions of people won't allow it!"

That makes it clear that the Third Elder's succession is a foregone conclusion.

Since that's the case, I have nothing to worry about.

For Yang Jianguo, getting rid of Liu Zhi was actually not difficult at all.

The difficult part is getting rid of the Lü family behind him.

Its domestic influence is strong, with its reach extending to all sectors, but it also needs to consider its international impact.

If we really try to deal with the Lü family, their master will definitely not allow it.

Even the US masters behind the scenes of a peaceful life will be unhappy, so a suitable reason must be found first.

As long as there is a plausible pretext, it is only natural to deal with him.

How to find this pretext, "Yang Min".

"lead."

Do you know the Lü family?

"You mean the Lü family?"

"Yes, let's look into what non-compliant things they've done in China."

Such a straightforward instruction made Yang Min very uncomfortable.

"What, did I scare you by being so direct with you?"

Seeing her like that, Yang Jianguo couldn't help but chuckle, and the driver also smiled.

It's always particularly interesting when the boss gets a new person working for him.

Especially what was happening behind him—his eyes were wide open!

"Ah, no, no!"

Yang Min lowered her head, adjusted her expression, and then raised her head again, revealing a forced smile.

This was quite a blow to her understanding of the world.

The mysterious and towering image of Yang Jianguo in her heart suddenly vanished.

"For me, efficiency comes first, ability second, and there are no complicated procedures."

"You'll get used to it eventually."

"Okay, boss, I'll adapt as soon as possible."

Yang Min smiled easily, feeling much less pressure in her heart.

It seems that my boss isn't as difficult to deal with as people say; he's actually quite kind and approachable.

This idea lasted for less than two hours before Yang Min completely overturned it.

When Yang Jianguo gets to work, he's like a monster.

The brain is like a computer, thinking every minute, with its thoughts leaping and its thinking speed is incredibly fast.

It's difficult for anyone to keep up with his pace, which forces everyone to be on high alert.

It's not about trying to make a good impression or to impress the boss.

Just to keep up with his pace and not fall behind.

After half a day, Yang Min was almost exhausted.

"what!"

Sitting on a bench in the corridor, Yang Min leaned against the cold wall and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly a cup appeared in front of him. Looking down, he saw that the person was Wu Mei.

"Sister Wu."

Taking the cup, Yang Min quickly thanked her, "Thank you, please sit down."

"Are you exhausted?"

Wu Mei is knitting a winter hat for her grandson with a crochet needle in her hand.

"Sister Wu...has the boss always been like this?"

Yang Min took a sip of water, hoping to learn more from her.

How did the previous secretary manage to keep up with this workload?

"No."

Hearing her say that, Yang Min suddenly felt sad, realizing she had gotten herself into trouble.

"It's only been in the last ten years or so that I've become increasingly busy, and there's been more and more management to do."

"..."

Well, she's just making fun of herself!

Seeing that Yang Min's tense mood had eased, Wu Mei put down her work and smiled, "Little Yang, you're still young, it's good to be busy."

"The things you can learn here under our leadership are things you could never get anywhere else, even if you begged for them."

"Our leader is a great man who truly works for the people and is wholeheartedly devoted to the country."

"You not only have to see, you also have to feel. You need to think more about why the leader does this and what the benefits are."

"Who benefits from this?"

"When you realize one day that everything in this world is so difficult, you'll probably have learned a thing or two."

Yang Min frowned slightly in confusion and said, "Sister Wu, at our level of leadership, how could there be so many difficult things?"

The system's leader is someone who ranks highly even in the imperial city.

He holds so many titles and holds multiple positions, all of which are important.

Speak directly to the council of elders, and your words will reach the ears of the heavens.

With his abilities, how could anything be difficult for him?

Wu Mei smiled slightly and said to herself, "I have to say, you're still young! You should read more history books; they've all been written down."

"Bad things are easy to handle, good things are difficult to handle. But from ancient times to the present, there has never been an easy way to do good things."

Yang Min remained silent, unsure how to respond for a moment.

I understand the logic!

But she just couldn't understand why it was so difficult to do a good deed.

Is there any fairness in this world?

"Fairness, what is fairness?"

“He talks to me about fairness, but when he has things that others don’t, why doesn’t anyone talk to me about that?”

"Is it fair to only allocate the money to him? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

Looking at the report handed to him, Yang Jianguo flew into a rage in his office.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Industry received an additional fund specifically for supporting the restructuring and redevelopment of local enterprises.

The funds hadn't even arrived yet, but the applications were already piling up in the office.

When the approval office came to consult him, Yang Jianguo's opinion remained the same: whoever had the advantage should work diligently and come up with a truly feasible solution.

The name of the person is listed in the payment; other factors take a backseat.

There are no first, second, or third tier cities or regional divisions here.

They're not in charge of economics; leave those things to others.

With his assurance, the approval office knew what to do.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the first batch of names came out, some people jumped out and started running away.

They say they are biased, only focusing on developed regions and ignoring the plight of other regions.

It's been turned into the Ministry of Works, making it Yang Jianguo's fault.

Damn it, he doesn't even look at his own business plan; it's utter nonsense.

It's all empty rhetoric and ambiguous wordplay.

With a plan like that, even if you offered ten thousand more, you wouldn't get a single penny from him.

Chapter 738 Rules, Ghost Hunting

News of Yang Jianguo's furious outburst in his office reached the ears of the local top leaders by noon.

With improved communication, messages are delivered much faster.

Confidentiality has become increasingly meaningless.

"The big boss has lost his temper. It seems we've pushed him a bit too far this time."

"We have to be in a hurry. If things continue like this, the gap will only widen. If your father doesn't care about you and your mother doesn't love you, someone else will."

"Once the others have eaten their fill and become big, fat boys, how will we have any competitiveness left?"

The people below argued endlessly, but no one dared to suggest any more bad ideas.

Even the top leader slammed his fist on the table; do you really think he has no temper?

.......

At the Ministry of Works, Yang Min was reporting the situation to him.

"Things have calmed down a lot down there. The ones who used to be the most diligent are now obediently following the procedures, and we've taken the plans back to them so they can revise them as soon as possible."

Yang Min's current respect for her leader is beyond words.

It wasn't that his methods were particularly clever, but rather that he was able to control the department he led so effectively.

From top to bottom, there was no nod from Yang Jianguo.

Information about his office was kept completely confidential.
