Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

In the past, we could say there was no rush, but now we're all in our forties, and every time we introduce someone to someone, it falls through. If we delay any longer, it will become a real problem.

“Master, it’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet.”

"Zhang Chao".

Yang Jianguo didn't intend to beat around the bush anymore. "If it were ten years earlier, you and Qin Huairu might still have a chance, but now it's completely hopeless."

"Originally, you could wait if you wanted to. You're still young and energetic, so there's no fear of being delayed."

"But you're over forty now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your parents. Can you really bear to let them wait so anxiously for a grandson?"

Today, Yang Jianguo has finally made his point completely clear.

Zhang Chao looked embarrassed, his eyes dim, unsure of how to respond.

"If you're destined to be together but not meant to be, you can't force it. Find a reliable girl, settle down, and live a good life. How do you know your heart won't change?"

"Life is both long and short. Half a lifetime has passed, so what is there to hold onto?"

"I understand, Master."

Zhang Chao raised his head and forced a smile, "My family is trying to find me a partner, a piano teacher. I'll meet her when I get back."

"This is right!"

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to tell you. Go ahead and get busy!"

"Yang Min, have Xiao Duan drive to Loongson."

He needs to explain not only the work of the Ministry of Industry, but also the work of Loongson, Fuxing, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Jianguo was shocked when he did the math.

He has more than a dozen full-time and part-time jobs, not counting those he only holds nominal positions.

The work on Loongson was entirely entrusted to He Guangliang.

As the office director and chief steward, he is now the first vice president under Yang Jianguo.

Over the years, I have worked diligently and conscientiously, without making the slightest mistake.

Yang Jianguo has also become less involved in management, focusing more on research and technology.

In terms of administration, He Guangliang has always been in charge.

Yang Jianguo felt at ease leaving it to him.

"Old He, investment in research and development and technology cannot be reduced, no matter when or how serious the financial situation is. We can cut corners from anywhere else, but we cannot reduce funding for these two areas."

"Also, I've recently noticed that the administrative staff is a bit too bloated. This isn't a place to retire; one person's work is being done by three people."

"What are you doing here? Are you here to enjoy your retirement and collect subsidies, waiting to retire?"

Yang Jianguo spoke in a very soft tone from beginning to end, but the latter part of his speech made He Guangliang break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"Boss, you know, there are some favors that are hard to refuse."

"What favor is hard to refuse? Let him come and talk to me, and I'll see whose face is so important."

Yang Jianguo wasn't the kind of stubborn old man who would condemn anyone who tried to get in through connections and slap them across the face.

Otherwise, he wouldn't always have two candidates for his secretary.

What he hates are those useless people who have no ability but still want to live off welfare.

Since you don't have the ability, you should stay at home honestly, or find a job, or go out and make your own way in the world.

As long as you're not greedy or do anything wrong, he'll turn a blind eye to things like issuing permits or doing business.

You can't sweep the dust in the corners of the walls all the time. If you sweep too often, the dust will just move to other places and you'll end up not getting any clean anywhere.

Leave it for now, let it accumulate over time, little by little, until you've saved enough.

Let's sweep it all up in one go, filling the dustpan and broom, and maybe we can even find something unexpected – the treasure hidden in the dust might be a pleasant surprise!

But you clearly have no skills, yet you still insist on getting close to him.

They join the company with the best benefits and the best treatment, occupying an already tight staff position, receiving high salaries and subsidies every day, and even their well-written reports are incomprehensible.

Those who actually do the work are left to struggle to earn a meager living, while they have to put up with the attitudes and whims of these incompetent people.

They get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, work more than the oxen, and eat worse than the pigs.

If these people have no complaints, they should be worshipped as saints in this world!

Where do those grievances ultimately go?

Isn't it all going to fall on the organization? It's gradually eroding the people's trust in the organization.

Yang Jianguo was a million times unwilling to take the blame for this garbage.

Anyone who wants him to take the blame should explain it themselves.

Chapter 750 The Capital Garrison: The Fate of the Liu Family

"Yes, I'll handle these matters immediately and get them all fired."

Seeing Yang Jianguo nod, He Guangliang, who had been speaking righteously, could only manage a bitter smile.

Boss, those people are not easy to deal with. He's really going to offend them badly this time.

However, compared to offending those people, He Guangliang was more afraid of Yang Jianguo coming after him.

After all, Yang Jianguo was his direct superior, and his mood affected his future.

Compared to my job, offending those leaders is nothing.

At worst, when I need to get things done in the future, I'll just have to give them a few perfunctory answers and make a few more trips.

Anyone who dares to delay Loongson's business will face consequences if their own bosses are not as easy to talk to as they are.

'They're all just bullies who prey on honest people. If their own bosses came knocking, they'd all be pushovers.'

After silently cursing a couple of times to vent his frustration, He Guangliang finished his report and left.

Yang Jianguo didn't stay long. After reviewing the recent reports and records, he went directly to the research institute.

I spent most of the day at the research institute, and it was almost dark when I left.

"Boss, shall we go home or...?"

Once in the car, He Min proactively inquired about the plans, explaining that she had no fixed schedule for the next two days and that all previous arrangements had been cancelled.

All the arrangements depend on Yang Jianguo's wishes, so she, as his secretary, can only pretend to be blind for the time being.

"Go to the Beijing Garrison."

Yang Jianguo struggled with this arrangement for an entire day.

But right now, he still felt it was a good idea to go see Commander Li; there were some things he still had to be wary of.

Having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things.

After informing the guard at the gate of his purpose, Yang Jianguo waited by the car. Less than two minutes later, Commander Li got out in person. "Commander Yang, why didn't you call ahead before you came?"

"I just had this idea on a whim; there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Please come in."

Yang Min and the driver were left outside, while Yang Jianguo followed them into the building alone.

He came out in less than 15 minutes.

Commander Li personally saw him off to the car, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on what you asked me to do, and I will notify you immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Commander Li."

"Walk slowly."

After leaving the Beijing Garrison, Yang Jianguo did not go home, but instead went to Fuxing again.

Following that was the Academy of Sciences, the Strategic Reserve Special Materials Management Division.

After visiting these two places, when we came out, the sky was full of stars, and it was past midnight.

"go home."

Even as he leaned back in his seat, Yang Jianguo's mind was still racing.

Is there anything I've overlooked? That should be it. Everything that can be explained and arranged has been fully prepared.

The rest depends on how the situation changes and how well the parties involved can adapt. Even the most perfect plan is still executed by people.

The difference in individual abilities can sometimes be greater than the gap between humans and animals.

Yang Jianguo only hoped that no one on his side would suddenly make a stupid mistake and be led by the nose.

"Xiao Yang."

"I'm here, boss."

"Tell Master Ma Kun tomorrow morning that he will come with me this time."

"Hey, where's the head chef?"

Yang Min knew Ma Kun and the head chef; these two were the leader's top bodyguards.

Although he still held a formal position, he only followed his arrangements, and the people in the capital had no objections.

"The head chef should stay and keep his eyes open lately."

"Okay, I see."

Yang Min nodded, understanding what her leader meant.

Although I didn't know what was going to happen, I could tell from his tone that something big was definitely going to happen.

Or it may not happen, but there will inevitably be some undercurrents and urgent matters in between.

Making the head chef widen his eyes is to ensure the safety of the house. Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?

Yang Jianguo gave this order not because of the Third Elder's rise to power.

But what lies ahead is the Liu family's counterattack, and the potential hidden dangers posed by the Tsumura side.

Bringing down the Liu family has never been difficult for him; what Yang Jianguo is concerned about is the series of upheavals it will cause.

Now that he has made up his mind, he will not be soft-hearted.

He may seem to have been inactive these past few days, but in fact all his actions were concentrated on the day of the meeting.

The deficits he listed at the meeting, those exaggerated and unsubstantiated data and projects, included several items that were related to the Liu family and the Lü family behind them.

Compared to the later corruption involving hundreds of millions of yuan, those local tyrants who held absolute power and disregarded human life.

The mistake he made may not seem so serious.

But the truth is, once you open the lid, there's nothing serious about it.

The Liu family's years of hard work are now completely over.

The Lü family has also suffered a major blow. Having created such a huge mess, even if they still want to achieve something, no one dares to take over easily.

In the future, let alone continuing to extend their reach into important departments, it will be questionable whether they can even gain a foothold in Beijing.

He might be the only one who wants to bring down the Lü family in the name of justice and fairness.

But Yang Jianguo was not the only one who wanted to see the Lü family fall.

The plate is so big, if the Lü family gets to eat, then others won't get to eat. If the Lü family eats one less bite, then others will eat one more bite.

Wouldn't it be better to let the Lü family go hungry so that we can eat ourselves?

Without him lifting a finger, the Lu family, whose power had been greatly diminished, would be devoured alive by these wolves and tigers.

You can't expect to escape unscathed without peeling off a layer of skin.

Knowing exactly how things would unfold, Yang Jianguo instructed the head chef to keep a close eye on things.

His years of planning and preparation collapsed overnight, so it's not hard to understand why he would resort to desperate measures.

However, the Lü family probably won't do that.

Even if they are driven out of Beijing, they can still live a wealthy life in one place, so there is no need to fight to the death.

As for the Liu family, without their backing and power, they have truly become homeless dogs.
