Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

This Qi Tongwei is like an eel.

It's slippery and can't be selected.

Furthermore, it is truly surprising that the other party was able to return unharmed this time.

Everyone was speculating whether he had some amazing background in the capital or had found a new way to get ahead and had a powerful backer.

But no matter what, this person must not be offended to death.

At least until we know how he'll get back, we have to put up with him for now.

And so, the situation remained deadlocked.

Li Dakang realized that his presence wouldn't make much of a difference, and the work still couldn't proceed normally.

I won't waste my time and embarrass myself anymore.

Without saying a word, he abandoned the group and turned to leave, using this as an expression of his dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Secretary Dakang, Secretary Dakang..." Seeing that he didn't turn his head, Chen Yanshi was also angry: "Li Dakang, are you going to take care of this matter or not? Are you still the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee?"

Li Dakang's figure flickered, paused for two seconds, and then quickly walked out again.

However, she silently made a note of Chen Yanshi's name in her heart.

"You, Chen Yanshi, declined; your qualifications speak for themselves, and there's nothing I can do about it. But your Chen family still has connections."

Li Dakang, who is not very shrewd, is already scheming how to regain face from the other members of the Chen family.

He, Li Dakang, the dignified Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, dares to humiliate a retired old man like you at will.

If there's no reaction, how will he manage his team in the future, and will he even be able to do his job?

Seeing the other person's gloomy profile, Chen Yanshi felt a little regretful.

Did we offend someone too badly this time?

He wasn't afraid of anything happening to himself, but he was worried about his son, Chen Hai.

However, considering that Gao Yuliang is still in power, it's not up to Li Dakang to interfere in the supervisory system.

The weight lifted from Chen Yanshi's heart once again.

No matter what, Dafeng Factory definitely needs an explanation; it can't just be demolished without any reason.

At the very least, the interests of the workers must be protected.

This factory was built little by little under his supervision.

It's useless now, and they'll demolish it if they want.

And that bastard Cai Chenggong even managed to take advantage of the loopholes and steal the workers' hard-earned money.

Chen Yanshi would never agree to this even if he asked ten thousand times.

Either let Cai Chenggong come out and settle the accounts, ensuring that the workers receive every penny that is rightfully theirs.

Either he stays here and won't let anyone step into the factory.

Another thing that reassured Chen Yanshi was that his old comrade-in-arms spoke to him and said that there was news about the leader selected for Handong from above.

It's highly likely that it really is the person he's thinking of.

If that's true, then he has absolutely nothing to fear.

As long as that person appears, no matter how big the problem is, it can be easily solved.

People like Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang all have to obediently and respectfully address him as "Old Chen."

Seeing that Chen Yan was still frowning, he turned around and looked relaxed and self-satisfied, as if he had everything under control.

Qi Tongwei seemed to be deep in thought. 'It seems the selection for the capital city is about to be finalized.'

imperial capital.

Yang Jianguo had just left Old Han's house. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival, he visited many old friends.

There are not only those within the system, but also those outside the system.

This includes the oversight system, and the Zhong family, who will also be competing this time.

The Zhong family also came from the military. Old Master Zhong had a distinguished military record, which accumulated a lot of wealth and connections for his children and descendants.

This time, the one stepping forward to compete is the current head of the Zhong family, the eldest son of the Zhong family, and Vice President Zhong.

He only recently rose to that rank.

Standing on the opposite side of Zhao Lichun is not only due to differing political views, but also because the two are not on the same page.

It was also a matter of timing; the two were promoted one after the other, and they bumped into each other.

There are only a few powerful deputy positions, who wouldn't want to be one?

If you want to get it, you have to fight for it; if you don't fight for it, you'll never have another chance to fight for it in this lifetime.

Since Old Master Zhong passed away, the Zhong family's fortunes have declined somewhat. However, with the lingering influence of the old man, it's not immediately apparent that this decline is due to his legacy.

But if this generation fails to produce a pillar of strength, then the next generation will have to...

The Zhong family's situation was quite different then; it had to have dropped at least one level.

Therefore, the Zhong family must fight for it.

Not only must we fight, but we must also do everything in our power to find ways to win.

No matter who's standing on the other side, unless it's someone from the Zhong family who can't even put up a fight.

Otherwise, we would definitely have to fight them fiercely.

Whether you win or lose depends on your methods.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Zhong family is willing or not, and no matter what Zhao Lichun thinks, the two sides are destined to fight to the death.

In officialdom, the unseen struggles are the most deadly.

If the Zhong family loses, not only will the old man's legacy be completely exhausted, but they will also have to be constantly on guard against future retaliation from the Zhao family.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will only fall out of the second tier even faster and become scraps in the third tier.

If Zhao Lichun had lost, all the achievements and accomplishments he had worked so hard for his entire life would have been rendered worthless.

The Zhao family, which had been built with great effort, vanished in an instant.

They themselves will also be nailed to the wall of shame, becoming a negative example for the organization's learning and education.

Chapter 867 The Zhong Family's Considerations, The Technology of Forgetting

Yang Jianguo's visit was also to express his stance.

In this power struggle between the two, he would definitely side with the Zhong family; neither publicly nor privately, he could possibly be on Zhao Lichun's side.

But is there any other plan behind this?

Perhaps only Yang Jianguo truly knows the answer.

"Brother, do you think this Yang Jianguo is reliable?"

The Zhong family is also discussing this matter, wondering why Yang Jianguo suddenly took the initiative to show goodwill to the Zhong family.

They said it was to curry favor with the Zhong family.

Don't be ridiculous. Putting aside who's backing Yang Jianguo, does he really have the personality to grovel and fawn over others?

But if it wasn't for this, then what was it for?

I didn't see him make any demands or offer any conditions for exchange; he just came to sit and chat, but his words were full of 'factionalism.'

It sounds like they're treating the capital city like their own private domain.

They can't stand outsiders like Zhao Lichun running wild in this city of Beijing.

"No matter what his motives are, as long as he stands on our side in this matter concerning Zhao Lichun, that's a good thing."

Zhong Fuguo understood that they needed to overcome the immediate difficulties before considering what came next.

If we can't even get past this hurdle, then the Zhong family has nothing worth taking a liking to.

On the contrary, the Zhong family was able to rise to a higher level.

Even if he had ulterior motives, he still had to discuss things politely with the Zhong family.

Being strong yourself is more effective than saying anything.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Jianguo plunged into the research institute.

This time, he was able to meet Professor Song as he had hoped. The two hit it off immediately, and as they talked, the conversation began to veer towards cutting-edge technology.

Then, Zhang Wei and the others couldn't understand.

Sitting there, eyes wide with confusion, I thought, "Wait, what are you saying? Teacher, you didn't teach me like this before!"

Old Song was too preoccupied to care about him at that moment.

I had a very enjoyable conversation with Yang Jianguo, and I gained a lot of inspiration from his perspective.

'So, it can be done like this.'

This is the sentence that repeats most often in Old Song's mind.

Everyone says young people are quick-witted, but Yang Jianguo is no exception—

Looking at the few stray white hairs at his temples, Old Song felt extremely uncomfortable.

Speaking of this old guy, he's only a few years younger than me, right?

"Jianguo, how old are you this year?"

"I'm fifty-one, not young anymore."

"..."

Old Song felt that the conversation was going nowhere.

51, you look like you're 41, people would believe you. We're both approaching 6, how come you look so young!

"Minister Yang, how do you usually take care of yourself?"

On the way to the experimental zone, Zhang Wei kept pestering him to ask for health tips, saying, "My master's health has deteriorated a lot in the past two years. I, his apprentice, am not very capable and can't help him share much of the burden."

I was thinking of finding some prescriptions and dietary supplements for him to help him take good care of himself.

Zhang Wei's sincere smile held a touch of childlike shyness as he playfully laughed, "He has to see the plane he designed take off with his own eyes, right?"

Yang Jianguo is always happy to see this kind of filial piety. "You've put your heart into it, but I don't have the prescription."

"However, there are still a few pills left."

Yang Jianguo still had some of the "Strengthening Body Pills" he got from signing in, so giving a few to Old Song wouldn't be a problem.

If asked, just say it was a gift from an extraordinary person you met in the past.

Yang Jianguo also tried to unravel the secret of the pill.

No matter how it is tested, its ingredients are extremely ordinary, just a combination of basic medicinal herbs, the most precious of which is a 500-year-old wild ginseng.

For ordinary people, 500-year-old wild ginseng is hard to find, but for Yang Jianguo, it is still possible.

Even after gathering all the medicinal herbs and adjusting the proportions, I still couldn't achieve the same effect as the [Strengthening Body Pill].

Its greatest effect lies in its ability to improve the physical condition of the user.

The chronic and stubborn ailments among them will be treated, improved, and eventually eliminated.

However, the effect they achieved by using medicinal herbs was no different from eating raw 500-year-old wild ginseng slices.

Even now, people are still trying to recreate this pill.

Yang Jianguo himself also provided resource support, but he had given up hope.

The system's magic lies in the fact that it could be imitated by ordinary people.

Then it wouldn't be called a "system" anymore.
