Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

As for whether someone will be able to work diligently and still receive unwarranted negative comments from others.

Frankly speaking, it's unlikely that this will happen in the next twenty years. Ordinary people naturally have a sense of fear when facing "control points".

Even if I suffer a little injustice, I'd probably give it a good review; I wouldn't dare to leave a random review.

If someone really gives a bad review, it must be because they've suffered too much injustice.

Moreover, one or two negative reviews will not have a serious impact unless there is a continuous increase in negative reviews, in which case corresponding penalties will be imposed.

It's possible for one person to make things difficult for you, or for two people to make things difficult for you.

But you can't have one or two people making things difficult for you every month; there must be something wrong with that.

"Minister Yang, Minister Yang..."

After tidying up for a while, feeling energized, the principal looked up and realized that Yang Jianguo was daydreaming. He felt embarrassed, realizing that his impassioned speech had turned into a one-man show.

But that awkwardness vanished instantly. If someone in his position didn't even have this much manners and composure, they wouldn't be in his position.

Then, he can't hold onto his position as principal securely.

"Yes, I understand what you've said. Your efforts are evident."

He offered a few words of encouragement with great satisfaction, then patted the other person's shoulder affectionately, concluding his surprise visit.

After he got into his car and left, the excited principal put his hand on the shoulder where he had just been patted and turned to the school newspaper staff who had been following him, asking, "Did you get a picture of that scene?"

The other person nodded vigorously and said in the same excited tone, "I got it! I took dozens of shots in a row, there's definitely no problem."

That afternoon, photos and text reports of Yang Jianguo's campus visit appeared in the school newspaper's bulletin board.

The emphasis was on Yang's recognition of Hongxing No. 1 Middle School's achievements...

When Yang Jianguo got home that evening, before he could even put down his bag, he saw Zhiyi holding a clipped news report and reading it intently.

"What big news is it that you're taking it so seriously?"

After wiping his hands, Yang Jianguo walked over to her and bent down to see what was making her so fascinated.

"Regarding you, visit Hongxing No.1 Middle School."

Zhiyi shook out two palm-sized pieces of paper cutouts and looked up curiously: "Dad, why did we suddenly come all this way?"

Yang Jianguo is now a truly influential figure.

People outside always like to say, "So-and-so is a big shot whose every stomp makes XX tremble," but Zhiyi doesn't know if they really are.

But Dad, when he stomped his feet, the entire capital city would tremble.

Every move he makes carries profound significance; it's impossible for it to be a case of 'just passing by' or 'casually taking a look'.

"nothing……"

Seeing his daughter's persistent questioning gaze, Yang Jianguo knew it was best not to try to fool her.

Otherwise, I'll start acting childish again.

"Hongxing No.1 Middle School became a testing ground for educational reform at my suggestion. I still need to find out the specifics."

Zhiyi only believed half of his reasons, and after closing the newspaper clippings, she said confidently, "You went there because you saw the recent reports and learned about the opening up to the outside world!"

"You saw it too."

Yang Jianguo wasn't surprised that she could guess his thoughts.

After all, in the eyes of those who care, this is an important milestone. If it succeeds, the entire system will be affected in the future.

"Tell me your thoughts."

After Zhiyi nodded, Yang Jianguo wanted to hear her views on education.

Ultimately, she is now also a mother of a kindergarten student, so she can naturally gain insights from her daily interactions.

"No ideas, but plenty of opinions..."

Zhiyi had many opinions, the first being the focus of education, and the second being the pace and priorities.

Extracurricular activities are insufficient, knowledge education is rigid, and education on broad thinking is basically lacking. The whole system is like an assembly line, precisely and coldly producing batches of the required 'products'.

"Different national conditions, different needs, and naturally different focuses."

Today, with the economy booming and society thriving, all sectors are facing a huge talent shortage.

They need innovative talent, but they need more cogs in the machine.

These functional parts are precisely the talent gap that is currently the most significant in China.

It will take at least 15 to 20 years, two generations, to fill this gap. It is already commendable that we are able to plan ahead and lay the foundation for the future at this time, and to explore the path forward by feeling our way.

Upon hearing the truth he told her, Zhiyi could only remain silent helplessly. She understood the situation, but she did not agree with it.

Furthermore, as a mother, she could not allow her child to become a mechanical cog in a machine, knowing all this.

"I want to send Mengjie abroad to study."

Sitting next to her, Yang Jianguo did not object to his daughter's suggestion, but the child had only just started kindergarten, and it was obviously too hasty to send her abroad at this stage.

“I agree with you, but it’s not too late to wait until after elementary school when she has formed a basic sense of right and wrong. I don’t want my future granddaughter to have a head full of Western robber theories.”

The father and daughter discussed going abroad, including the child's accommodation and school choices.

When Yingzi called out "Dinner's ready," the two had already reached an agreement and decided to start cultivating Mengjie's language and living habits right away, so that she could better adapt to boarding school life abroad.

Chapter 795 Circles, Exploiting Loopholes

"By the way, how is the situation at Zhu Zi's family?"

Yang Jianguo was busy with work and hadn't paid much attention to the commotion at home, but he was still a little curious when he came back and didn't hear any noise.

He Daqing is not one to give up easily; to subdue him, we'll have to resort to coercion and bribery.

Sha Zhu's old method of using his fists was actually the most effective way to deal with scoundrels like He Daqing, but now it's a society governed by law, and he's no longer the head chef of the factory canteen, but a prominent catering tycoon.

It's really inappropriate to throw a punch at someone; it's beneath one's dignity and status.

Besides, that person was his own father.

If it really came down to fists with He Daqing, it would be a big problem for Sha Zhu. Although the power of his spittle was much less, it could still crush a lot of people in the capital.

Everyone says that the capital city is all about networking.

They value family background and social standing; if you can't get into a certain circle, no matter how rich you are, you can't get in.

Even if you're in a terrible state, once you've entered a certain circle, you'll still be respected and admired.

Because they don't respect He Daqing as a person, but rather his status in the industry. Respecting him is equivalent to respecting themselves and the entire industry.

So don't assume that just because the Qing Dynasty is in decline and people come to rely on their sons, no one will care about them anymore.

If something as outrageous as a son beating his father happened, countless people would jump out to criticize and suppress Sha Zhu, making him obediently kowtow and admit his mistake to his father.

"After trying to persuade her, she finally agreed to go to a nursing home. However, it's not in the South Island, but in the outskirts of Beijing."

He Daqing chose to live in the outskirts of Beijing so that he could maintain a connection with his son, Shazhu, and avoid being completely dumped by him.

Don't be fooled by He Daqing's seemingly shady dealings; he's as clear-headed as a mirror.

Now that they've been driven out by the ungrateful widow's family, their only way out is through their own son, Sha Zhu.

If he gets dumped on this side, he'll truly be all alone.

He Daqing has no shortage of skills.

But he's getting on in years, shouldn't he be able to enjoy his retirement? His son has built such a large estate, what's wrong with him benefiting a little?

He Daqing kept these things to himself and didn't tell anyone.

It's all going to cause trouble if I tell you, and now Sha Zhu has a lot of complaints about him!

When his daughter comes back, He Daqing will find an opportunity to get closer to her. Women are soft-hearted after all. He will spend some time getting back together with his daughter and visiting her home often. Sooner or later, she will have to acknowledge him as her father.

Yang Jianguo quickly figured out these calculations in his mind: "When it comes to their own interests, no one is stupid."

"Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Ultimately, it's up to Zhu Zi himself to decide. Let's not get involved."

Yingzi spent most of the day watching, and Teacher Ran wanted her to say something, but in the end, she didn't get to speak up for justice.

No matter what, he's Shazhu's biological father. What right does she, an outsider, have to interfere and meddle?

However, if He Daqing goes too far, this temporary worker in the 'community' might have to go to her door to talk to her.

"Don't worry, that old bastard is cunning, he won't give you that chance."

In a few words, Yang Jianguo turned the topic to Zhiyi's work, "I heard that quite a few people have left your research institute recently."

When this matter was brought up, Zhiyi looked worried: "Don't even mention it. It's not just a lot, it's like they're fleeing in droves."

The research institute's compensation is considered good, but compared to the compensation offered by private companies, it's nothing, not even worth a drop in the ocean.

Last week, someone approached her indirectly and offered her two million.

As long as Zhiyi agrees to switch jobs, the two million will be in her hands immediately, which will be considered her signing fee. The annual salary will be discussed separately, and the bonuses and performance bonuses will be the same.

In addition, he bought her a two-bedroom apartment within the Second Ring Road and provided her with a Mercedes-Benz.

"If I'm not satisfied, I can choose any car under 100 million."

Yang Jianguo was quite surprised; such a generous offer of five or six million yuan—which company had such financial strength?

"Hong Kong Island Chinese Medicine".

Hong Kong-based Huayao Group rose to prominence in Hong Kong in the 60s and expanded into the mainland in the 70s. Today, it is a leading enterprise in the domestic pharmaceutical industry with a huge influence both domestically and internationally.

His relationship with the higher-ups is even more intricate and difficult to unravel, which explains why he made such an astonishingly large-scale move right from the start.

"Dad, what about you?"

Zhiyi smiled gloatingly and said, "If it's this serious here, it must be tough on your end too."

She was just a biological research institute, while Yang Jianguo was in charge of the entire engineering department. You can get a glimpse of how serious the staff loss was just from this glimpse.

"The loss of talent is indeed regrettable, but it's something we can't do without. As for the restructuring..."

Yang Jianguo started to say something, but then stopped, making Zhiyi feel uneasy, like a cat's claws. "How can this be? Mom, look, Dad is bullying me again."

Yang Jianguo wasn't trying to tease her; he genuinely didn't know how to continue the conversation.

The reform has been going on for three years and has yielded fruitful results, but there are also many dirty and unsavory aspects.

Especially under the impact of foreign capital and ideas, what were originally naive and foolish methods have gradually become more sophisticated.

Last year, those audacious business owners deliberately created losses to bring their companies under their management into the restructuring process. Once the companies were converted from public to private, they immediately turned the tide and made a fortune.

The rapidly developing and ever-changing mainland has unleashed enormous potential, with orders pouring in like snowflakes from both export and domestic demand.

Even without technical skills, just being able to acquire materials and perform rough processing can earn you a lot of money.

Not to mention those who take the slips and make a profit by transferring money between their left and right hands; they're the ones who really make money off the ground.

However, during the team's review, the truth was immediately revealed, the losses were promptly rectified, and the loss of state-owned assets was prevented.

But now they've learned their lesson and are no longer as blatant as before; instead, they've changed their tactics.

First, they create losses, then use various means and reasons to force away key technical personnel. As soon as these people leave the factory, cars pick them up and take them to another factory, where they change their appearance and immediately begin to seize the market that originally belonged to state-owned enterprises.

By leveraging bank and private capital, they quickly seized market share, crushed state-owned enterprises head-on, and then bought up loss-making and "bankrupt" old factories. By putting on this shell, they transformed themselves into outstanding examples of public-to-private conversion.

Even though you know these people are exploiting loopholes, you can't find any fault with them legally.

Even if Yang Jianguo insisted that they did it on purpose, he couldn't produce any evidence and would instead be accused of 'malicious framing'.

The working group below was extremely frustrated as a result.

Chapter 796 Heartbreaking, Foreign Exchange

If this isn't bad enough, those local bullies who got wind of the reforms early and made arrangements in advance are truly powerless.

Once the news of the restructuring came out, they had already done all the work. All they had to do was transfer the land and factory buildings to private individuals through approval, thus completing the most basic accumulation of capital.

Furthermore, you won't find any problems with the program.

When the team went down to do their work, they encountered this situation in many places, and talking to the other party was a waste of time.

He defiantly said, "If you're so capable, find evidence to arrest me," while calmly he simply stated, "All my paperwork is legal."
