"I'll ask you one last time, where did the money come from?" Xiao Hongchang emphasized his tone, forcing Xiao Tianruo to make an early decision.
"Dad, I can't say." Xiao Tianruo gritted his teeth and replied seriously. If the incident comes to light, he will bear it on his own. But he must not reveal his supernatural power to anyone, not even to his own family!
This is not some "boy's skill" to fool Qiu Ling. As long as he says it, everything he planned will be ruined!
After saying that, Xiao Tianruo looked directly into Xiao Hongchang's eyes. No matter what he thought, even if he completely broke with his father, who was the governor of the province, Xiao Tianruo had nothing to do. There is something called the bottom line. To protect himself, he was once the god of order.
The secret is Xiao Tianruo's bottom line!
"Okay!" Xiao Tianruo answered firmly, but Xiao Hongchang shouted yes. Just when Xiao Tianruo thought Xiao Hongchang was going to explode completely, Xiao Hongchang's mouth revealed a smile hidden under his rigid appearance.
"Son, congratulations, you passed my test for you." He looked happily at Xiao Tianruo, who was still childish but had his own persistence. As a father, Xiao Hongchang should now fulfill his responsibilities.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Xiao Hongchang's praise was not fake, Xiao Tianruo felt as if he had jumped off a cliff with his eyes closed, only to find that the depth of the cliff was actually less than half a meter.
"Tianruo, if you just told me the source of the money. No matter what the source is, I will definitely help you clear your name even if I risk myself. But in that case, as long as I am still alive,
I won’t let you take the path of becoming an official!”
All the pretended anger or doubts just disappeared, Xiao Hongchang's face was relaxed, but his tone was serious.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Recalling his decision-making process just now, Xiao Tianruo really felt like he had won a big prize. If the money was just illegal and did not involve the identity of the God of Order. Under Xiao Hongchang's pressing questioning just now,
I'm afraid Xiao Tianruo would have done it a long time ago
"Son, this is what I want to teach you today. As an official in China, no one has a completely clean body. Even I will still receive when I should receive, and I will still give away when I should give away." He smiled secretly.
He smiled, since he had decided to take Xiao Tianruo on the road, Xiao Hongchang naturally needed to reveal his identity in advance.
"Dad, you still accept bribes and give gifts?"
Looking at Xiao Hongchang with a blank expression, Xiao Tianruo thought that his upright, rigid and serious father would definitely be the kind of selfless and down-to-earth official who does practical things for the people even if he is an official. Obviously, Xiao Hongchang
His words broke his image in Xiao Tianruo's heart.
"Tianruo, let me ask you, if you were doing a big project involving many aspects in my jurisdiction, and then you came over to give me a gift, but I refused, what would you think?"
"I will feel uneasy"
After hearing his father's explanation, Xiao Tianruo finally understood a little bit.
"Well, the same principle applies. If you were from my camp and I didn't accept gifts from you, what would you think? Can you follow me in a down-to-earth manner?" Xiao Hongchang asked with a smile.
"I understand, but what about giving gifts? It shouldn't matter if you don't give gifts to others."
What Xiao Hongchang said is that subordinates take the initiative to give gifts to their superiors, and the superiors refuse to accept them. But when it comes to giving gifts, if the subordinates don't give them, will they not also make the superiors feel uneasy, or make the superiors unhappy?
"Gift-giving is easier to understand. Suppose we are colleagues in the same department. You are responsible for some things and I am responsible for some things. We each do our own thing. What will be the final result?" Seeing that Xiao Tianruo's eyes changed a little when he looked at him,
Xiao Hongchang didn't get angry either. At this time, he not only needed his patience, but also Xiao Tianruo's own understanding.
"It's definitely not possible. How can a department not be in contact with each other?" Xiao Tianruo knew such a simple truth when he was in the student office. Why did Xiao Hongchang need to question himself here.
"Well, that's the truth." Xiao Hongchang nodded, and he recognized his son a little more. "But if there are more connections between the work of two people, it will inevitably involve the issue of their respective rights and responsibilities. Everyone thinks about the responsibilities.
Avoid, everyone wants to fight for power. There is only one result, that is, private competition and stabbing in the back!"
"So exchanging handles can avoid this kind of competition?" Xiao Tianruo asked proactively after hearing some tricks.
"It is impossible to completely avoid it, but at least it can prevent one party from taking risks in order to fight for power or jumping over the wall when unnecessary." Xiao Hongchang replied, becoming more and more satisfied with his son.
"oh"
It seems that I am still thinking simply. If such a simple method could completely eliminate the struggle for power, then there would not be so many officials who resigned because of the failure of the struggle.
"As I speak, do you understand the original intention and footing of my test just now?" Seeing the understanding on Xiao Tianruo's face, Xiao Hongchang was naturally very satisfied. He tapped his fingers on the table and asked.
"I don't understand," Xiao Tianruo replied, spreading his hands.
"Ahem"
If Xiao Tian showed a perplexed expression and said he didn't know after thinking about it again, Xiao Hongchang wouldn't be surprised. After all, the jump here is indeed a bit big. But Xiao Tianruo answered with such a casual expression, which gave Xiao Hongchang undue expectations.
.The higher your expectations, the more painful your butt will be when they are shattered.
"I'm telling you all this just to tell you:
When an official has a handle, it means nothing outside. An official who has no handle at all can only be a minor official at the lower level. If he is a little higher, he will not exist at all. However, handles must also be divided into types.
It is a handle that normally checks and balances each other, and people are not afraid to hold it. Because when others use this handle to make trouble, they must think about: If they cannot bring you down, will they drag themselves down too. For example, people who have their own handle
Will they attack themselves out of fear? Or will the target of the attack jump over the wall because there is no hope of saving themselves?
But! You must protect the handle that is enough to beat you to the bottom. Even if you are a family member, you cannot say a single word!"
"Dad, I understand."
Xiao Hongchang explained so thoroughly that Xiao Tianruo would naturally not be confused again.
After taking a look at Xiao Hongchang's statement and his current situation, Xiao Tianruo broke out in a cold sweat. The handle that Gong Cheng was holding in his hand now was not the handle that his father said could put him in a state of no return.
Huh! Thinking of this, Xiao Tianruo raised his head and wanted to ask Xiao Hongchang's opinion.
Looking at his son who was only 19 years old later this year, Xiao Hongchang nodded with worry.
