Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Ah."

Nodding, Yang Jianguo looked at the newcomer again, and a kind, weathered face came into view. "Come with me, I am Yang Jianguo."

"Minister Yang, I recognize you."

The other person seemed a little excited, quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and pressed down hard. "I'm so glad to finally see you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, it's just that..."

The other person lowered their head with a troubled expression, as if they had something difficult to say.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk properly."

Yang Jianguo led the other party into the central courtyard and sat them down at the stone table in the renovated corridor pavilion.

"What is it? Tell me now!"

Yang Jianguo knew that the other party must have something urgent to do to come here.

I never imagined things would get this serious.

The Third Textile Factory has never been very profitable. Its outdated and obsolete designs, which have long been phased out by the market, make it impossible to generate any profit.

But just three years ago, the factory's design suddenly changed style.

Then, the products of the Third Textile Factory sold out, and the factory's profits increased more than tenfold.

The repeated praise and commendations from the ministry have inspired countless factories to follow suit.

Subsequently, the products went abroad and entered the international market.

Its various novel and innovative designs have brought it substantial profits and earned it numerous accolades.

But no one has ever considered who exactly brought about these changes.

The person behind all this, to this day, remains an 'unofficial' figure.

“I submit my application for permanent employment twice a year, and last year I submitted it four times. But... there are no openings. Every year there are all sorts of reasons why I can’t get a permanent position.”

boom!

Yang Jianguo slammed his hand on the table in a fit of rage, making the surface seem to be hit violently, and the dust that had fallen on it jumped up.

This terrified Factory Director Wang, who jumped off the stone bench. "Minister!"

"It's okay, just keep talking."

Yang Jianguo kept a straight face, suppressing his inner anger.

In just a few years, they've already forgotten who the masters and servants are.

"Local officials, local officials, do they really think they're parents?"

What angered Yang Jianguo the most was that even after creating such value, the other party still did not receive the most basic respect.

It has nothing to do with work, treatment, or salary; respect is the most important thing.

If someone loses respect for the people who are the masters of the country, then something must be wrong with that country.

This also means that all his efforts and hard work, along with those of all the pioneers, have become a joke.

Chapter 767 Running Away, A Safe Transition

Yang Jianguo was furious, but he had more important things to do right now.

He could only suppress his anger and said, "I understand. You go back first, and I will go there in person the day after tomorrow."

Without making any further promises, Yang Jianguo's decision to "go there in person" was the best outcome.

After seeing Director Wang off, Yang Jianguo went to his study with a sullen face.

He opened his personal notebook and wrote the word 'corruption' on it.

The next day, before the sky had cleared up, Yang Jianguo got up.

"is it today?"

Yingzi, who was also preoccupied and a light sleeper, opened her eyes and got out of bed to prepare breakfast for him.

"Okay, stop doing that, I'll just grab something to eat outside."

"Nowhere is as comfortable as home. I prepared everything last night."

After the dough has rested, boil water and roll it out; in no time, you have a steaming bowl of egg and tomato noodles.

Looking at the clean noodles in the bowl, Yang Jianguo suddenly thought, "Life is just too comfortable."

We boarded the bus and headed straight for the Imperial City. We could already see other cars going in from afar.

As I joined the queue, a guard ran up to me and said, "Greetings, sir. The elder has instructed that you should enter through the side gate after you arrive."

After nodding his thanks, Yang Jianguo instructed the driver to drive through the side gate and get to the central courtyard ahead of everyone else.

Countless eyes, both open and covert, were fixed on him. Yang Jianguo tugged at his Zhongshan suit and strode inside.

Today is a big day. All the anxiety and fear we've endured these past few days have been for this day.

However, what interesting expressions will they have when they see the Second Elder and the Third Elder walking out of the gate hand in hand?

At this moment, Li Aimin, far away on the South Island, was anxiously waiting in front of the television.

Seeing his absent-minded look, Li Lan, dressed in rich and flamboyant attire, sat down next to him and picked up the teapot on the rosewood tea table in front of her to start brewing tea.

"Is it really necessary to be this nervous? It's a matter of national importance, what does it have to do with you?"

Li Aimin was feeling uneasy when she heard her nagging. She glared at her irritably and said, "All you ever do is spend money on shopping. What do you know?"

"Oh, how come I don't understand?"

Li Lan muttered something indignantly, then placed the brewed teacup in front of him: "Fine, I don't understand. Have a cup of tea to calm your mind!"

Li Aimin picked up his teacup, his usual critical and judgmental demeanor gone.

He gulped it down like a cow, and said earnestly, "In the past six months, there have been undercurrents of tension in the capital, and I haven't dared to go back much."

Whether this transition will go smoothly depends on who comes out later, how they come out, and in what order!

"If things go wrong, our family might have to run away ahead of schedule."

Li Lan was genuinely frightened by what he said. "No, how did this come up with running away? We haven't done anything immoral."

What you did was all legitimate business. Even if we really calculate it, well... well, it shouldn't be implicated in your case!

"serious?"

Li Aimin grinned and sneered, "If you decide whether something is legitimate or not, that would be fine. Besides, I have quite a few businesses that other people are envious of!"

"In the past, I had my brother-in-law to back me up, but what if... those ungrateful bastards would come at me and tear me apart, and you call that being righteous!"

Li Aimin clearly understood that his smooth and peaceful development over the years was entirely due to his brother-in-law sitting in power.

If he makes any move, those coveted companies and technologies will end up in jail for him.

That's why he's so nervous about what happened today.

Although my sister had said that everything was under my brother-in-law's control, he simply couldn't grasp the level of things at that high.

That's why they came to the South Island several months in advance, and if anything goes wrong, they'll immediately take off and head straight abroad.

It's all his father's fault. He insisted on not letting him change his nationality, saying things like, "If you dare change your nationality, I'll break your legs, and don't you dare be buried in my Li family cemetery when you die."

Li Aimin had no choice but to suffer in silence.

If he had a different nationality, he wouldn't be in such a passive position now; at least he would have a card to play.

"Here it comes, it's about to begin."

Startled by her lover's sudden outburst, Li Lan also became nervous. When she saw the scene shift to the courtyard, she immediately grabbed his hand in a panic.

Meanwhile, the same scene is happening on countless occasions.

However, none of the ambitious individuals who should have been most hopeful are to be seen.

They are currently in a 'guesthouse', awaiting legal judgment with utter despair.

"He's out, the Second Elder is out."

"They've arrived, the Third Elder has also arrived."

The two chattered on and on about the identities of the people who were about to appear, but Li Aimin knew that the most difficult hurdle was yet to be overcome.

Now, after the Grand Elder finishes speaking, the most important moment will be when someone goes up to speak.

In the central atrium, Yang Jianguo, sitting in the front row below, was also watching the same scene.

However, compared to Li Aimin's uncertainty, Yang Jianguo was filled with pride.

The meeting proceeded smoothly as always, demonstrating the demeanor of a major power, with all potential problems completely buried in the shadows.

Yang Jianguo watched the Third Elder talk about the five-year plan from below, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Every organization has dark corners that are hard to clean up, and it's inevitable that filth and corruption will accumulate there.

But as long as there is a leadership that remains true to its original aspirations and cherishes lofty ideals, the rejuvenation will one day be realized.

Perhaps I still have time to take one last look.

The most crucial moment has concluded successfully in front of the people of the whole country. Next, the three elders will meet with representatives from various regions and overseas delegations to discuss important matters.

They need to ensure that the policies and directions of the next leadership will not affect previously reached agreements and relationships between them.

Yang Jianguo was also to accompany them, as he was a direct leader of the Ministry of Industry.

"Jianguo, come here. I'd like to introduce you to a good friend, a distinguished guest from the desert."

Upon seeing the cloth on the head next to the Third Elder, Yang Jianguo almost called out the name "Dog Tycoon" on the spot.

Isn't this our dear big spender, our close comrade-in-arms in the desert?

"Hello, Prince..."

The details of the subsequent talks were not shown on television, but the information that had been revealed was enough to cause huge changes in the outside world.

Restless at home, Li Aimin tore up the plane ticket he had secretly prepared on the spot, and laughed as he picked up his teacup to savor it.

"Mmm, only Da Hong Pao tea tastes truly comforting. This flavor is just right."

Chapter 768 A sudden attack; should honest people be bullied?

For three consecutive days, Yang Jianguo met with representatives from all parties to discuss a major cooperation framework.

These frameworks are about a long-term, friendly, and peaceful development policy between countries, institutions, and businesses.

Once the policy is set, the details will naturally be finalized by those below.

After finishing all that, Yang Jianguo finally had some free time to go downstairs and take a look. Director Wang had been putting it off for several days.

For many days, Factory Director Wang of the textile factory had been waiting for news from above.

The minister's secretary called him the day before yesterday to explain how important the minister's work had been these past few days, and that the promise he had made would have to be postponed.

Factory Director Wang readily agreed; such a high-ranking leader would remember such a small matter.

To be honest, Lao Wang was extremely grateful and incredibly excited.

Is being a few days late a big deal?

Regardless, Director Wang kept this matter in mind, and whenever he had a spare moment, he would unconsciously stand in front of the window.

Holding a large tea mug covered in tea stains, he stared longingly at the dilapidated road outside the gate, thinking, 'When will I see the leader's car drive straight towards me?'

Today, as soon as Director Wang finished the meeting, he stormed back to his office in a rage.

Bang~

He closed the door, picked up the cup, and gulped down a few mouthfuls, but the anger in his heart hadn't subsided at all.

when.

He slammed the teacup down on the table, tilting his head and cursing, "Damn it, rules... rules... all you ever talk about are rules, I've never seen you guys follow the rules like this before..."

No wonder he was so angry; he was really angered by the people below him.

Let's forget about the quota restrictions; after all, that's the general situation, and it's the same all over the country.

There are only so many slots available. If we give one more to your textile factory, other factories will lose their slots. It's a tough choice; it's best to handle things impartially.
