"Honey, I know you will have any ideas when you say this, but we are husband and wife, so there is no need to hide some of the things in our hearts, it is too tiring."

Li Yuanlang pushed Bai Qing's hand away, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room.

He pinched his waist and looked at his wife, questioning: "Since you mentioned the definition of husband and wife, then I ask you, is it the result of my efforts to this day or the boost of the family? I want to listen to the truth."

Bai Qing hesitated and said for a while: "All of them."

Li Yuanlang has always believed that he was able to be promoted from an ordinary little person to a vice-provincial standing committee member because he exchanged his wisdom, ability, and even life.

However, the two words his wife answered were still very reluctant, instantly shattering his established self-esteem.

"So, if I were not Lu Linsong's son-in-law and your Bai Qing's husband, I wouldn't have this day?"

Facing her husband's doubts, Bai Qing shook her head without hesitation, "No. We just helped you get on the horse, and there is someone else to take you into the horse farm."

"You mean Shui Qingzhang?" Li Yuanlang immediately reacted.

"Husband, I don't want to say something. Since you have asked this, I might as well tell you. The political ecology of all dynasties is similar. If a small person wants to enter the circle of a big person, it is basically impossible to achieve without the help of a noble person."

"At every node, every step, at critical moments, there will be a leader. This is why you can stand out and appear in the current environment."

"There are millions of cadres across the country, forming a pyramid. Some people struggle all their lives and are still at the base of the pyramid, while others will gradually move up and eventually stay in the middle."

"Advance further, as the pyramid becomes narrower, the elimination rate gradually increases and the difficulty becomes greater. Some people climb to the middle and upper part or approach the top of the tower, and if they are not careful, they will slip and fall instantly."

"The good thing is, it falls a few layers. The bad thing is, it falls to the bottom and falls to pieces. The deputy director of the Old Cadre Bureau of Ganping County is your starting point, and Shui Qingzhang helps you from the deputy section level to the county party secretary at the level of the department.

”

"He fell down, Wang Zhanhong took over, and promoted you all the way, pushing you to the position of a department-level leadership position. In the middle, there is the relationship between your sister Ye Qingrou. Whether you recognize it or not, it is a fact, a fact that cannot be changed."

"As for the current Secretary of Ruozhou, although you have your efforts, your tenacity, your persistent integrity and justice. Husband, to put it bluntly, is this enough alone?"

"There are many cadres as excellent as you, and even those who are stronger than you are. Why did they end up was that they were wasting their time, standing still, or only making a small improvement?"

"The reason is that the energy behind it is insufficient. Maybe I'm too subjective, but the reality is often like this. There is a huge gap between ordinary people and the children of officials. When they are born, the children of officials will stand at the starting line ahead of schedule than ordinary children.

”

"Then, they must be closer to the finish line, and the vision to see the finish line is broader."

"Our main officials are roughly divided into two types, one is represented by the children of leading cadres, and the other is the descendants of ordinary people."

"In fact, these ordinary people are not ordinary people in the traditional sense. Most of them have superior family backgrounds, have received good education, and have certain political literacy and personal cultivation."

"Not many people really dig food in the soil. Because we are in a peaceful era, it is a prosperous era rather than a chaotic era. Only in a chaotic era can we create heroes. In a prosperous era, we are competing for education, ability, family, and background."

"People without culture cannot gain a foothold with just a passion, and they cannot develop higher. You would say that this is unfair. Think about it, the world itself is unfair, and fairness is relative, not mutual.

”

"Some people are born with wealth and wealth. Some people live in poor families and suffer all their hardships, so there is no fairness."

"You may not fully agree with what I said. Having said that, on your path to improvement, Dad basically didn't participate. But his failure to participate does not mean he has no influence."

"Everyone knows that you are Lu Linsong's son-in-law. No matter whether you want it or not, the Lu family label is labeled on your forehead. Therefore, when using you, you will consider this."

"At least, you are a member of the Lu family and will not betray them, so let them feel at ease. No one mentioned this one, and the heart has long become a mark of eternal change."

"Please leave it to the children of officials, they will feel that people from such families will follow the teachings of the older generation and defend the interests of the country from beginning to end."

"So, on the road to anti-corruption, even if the children of officials are corrupt, no one is betrayed the interests of the country. Because they will not do this at heart, the tutor they have received since childhood is the bottom line, and the bottom line they will not touch."

"Of course, there are many people who go on wrong paths, but that's only a few, very small."

This is the first time in the years since Li Yuanlang and Bai Qing got married, he has heard his wife's analysis so straightforward and heart-wrenching.

Li Yuanlang was hit and bowed his head and said nothing, with a serious expression.

Bai Qing got up and left at the right time. When she walked to the door, she said, "Go and see Gu Yu and Zheng Li. You haven't seen them for a long time."

After another arrangement, Li Yuanlang felt extremely uncomfortable.

But no matter how unhappy it is, my son still wants to see him.

It was originally within his itinerary.

Li Yuanlang drove straight to the villa where Shui Qingzhang lived, as if he was preparing in advance. Shui Qingzhang did not show any surprises about his sudden appearance.

After saying hello and learning that the two sons had not yet finished school, Li Yuanlang sat down and chatted with Shui Qingzhang.

Sister Gao brought hot tea and turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Li Yuanlang asked, "How are you and Sister Gao?"

Shui Qingzhang spread his hands and gestured with an empty pipe, saying, "What else can I do? When Hongyan was there, he supervised me to smoke. Now he was supervising me as an old senior, and he still couldn't move freely. I was only allowed to smoke for a day.

Five times, no more than once. I am destined to be in charge of this fate and will let women take care of it all my life."

It hurts and is happy, this sentence is most suitable for Shui Qingzhang.

He complained, his eyes and expressions had long been betrayed him.

Seeing that Shui Qingzhang and Sister Gao had a happy old age, Li Yuanlang felt a little more guilty about Shui Tingyue.

"Bai Qing called me and mentioned that you were coming. I asked Lao Gao to prepare the Donghe cuisine you like. Yuen Long, Lao Gao is very good at cooking and Donghe cuisine is authentic."

Li Yuanlang stretched his eyebrows and asked, "Do you usually contact Bai Qing?"

Shui Qingzhang couldn't help smoking. His pipe was filled with tobacco and sucked several big mouthfuls, as if the dried seedlings encountered rain and dew, and he enjoyed it greedily.

He also said: "It's not often. Occasionally, your wife is very concerned about Guyu and Qingxi's learning situation. He is much better than your father. You can't make a phone call once a month, and Guyu and Qingxi can even forget you.

”

Li Yuanlong sighed in a blaming voice, saying: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws. I'm not doing well enough and I'm not qualified."

"I just said, don't keep it in your heart." Shui Qingzhang comforted, "The bigger your official position, the more things you have. Besides, it's a complex place like Ruozhou, and we can all understand that we don't have time to call.

”

"If you want to be a good official, you must have to give up. Giving up a small family and helping everyone, this is what a good official should do. Throughout history, most of the children of good officials are mediocre, which is very important to their lack of time to educate.

relation."

Li Yuanlang thought about it and asked, "Uncle Shui, do you think you are a good official?"

"Of course not." Shui Qingzhang fiddled with his pipe and made a decisive self-evaluation. "If I am a good official, I won't go in."

"Yuen Long, taking a team is a science and a manifestation of luck. I was not optimistic about Xue Yongxiang at the beginning. Later, I saw TV news often reporting his deeds, and I had a premonition that Xue Yongxiang might lose."

"In contrast, Yu Jinfeng was so low-key that he could not be seen appearing during that period. In history, the Nine Sons fought for the throne, the Eighth Old Man called the most, and the ending was the worst. The Fourth Old Man was silent, but he was born in nowhere.

Can you say that the fourth brother was scheming?”

"What's wrong, it's not their father who really does this. Is the old emperor controlling everything?"

"Put out the people who are calling out, give outsiders an illusion, thinking that he will succeed and block the euphoria. At the last moment, he launched the fourth brother in one fell swoop, caught everyone off guard and had no way to deal with it."

"So, the truth is not scary, and the illusion is the most powerful. It blinds people's hearts and thinking, disrupts vision, and lays a solid foundation for the ultimate goal."
