Chapter 938: To Grasp the Deep Meaning Within

The old man said, even somewhat indignant, "These are bad elements, they are the worms that have mixed into the cadre ranks."

I'll speak bluntly: the youngster from the Zhang family who is about to take office in your locality is exactly this kind of person.

The hateful thing about such people is that they not only fail to use the resources at their disposal to serve the common people and help them develop the locality, but instead use them to display their own power, practice factionalism, and suppress those who actually get things done.

So, after the New Year, your responsibilities will not be light.

Moreover, as a young cadre you are highly favored by the superiors, which will undoubtedly become the spark that makes other young cadres jealous of you.

They will use various means to target you, so your situation is certainly not easy.

Moreover, I have made a simple analysis of Ganzhou Sheng from the organization's perspective: if the next round of personnel changes goes as you expect, your time working in Ganzhou Sheng will not be long, because no one will let you stay in your comfort zone.

So you must remember to finish all the work at hand as soon as possible, leaving no regrets for the locality and not disappointing the common people.

Su Yang listened very attentively, committing every word to memory. He knew the old man had retired from the position of department head in the Organization Department, and had a clear view of some situations within the organization.

Naturally, he also saw clearly what had happened to some inactive cadres, which is why he was so indignant today.

As for the old man's slightly harsh tone just now, he didn't take it to heart; there is a saying: love deep, responsibility strict.

He also understood the old man's current state of mind; the old man had been diligent all his life, and both his reputation and prestige stood at the forefront among the older generation.

It can be said that the Qiao family once reached its peak thanks to the old man.

However, his several uncles are truly unremarkable, each drifting in enterprises, because enterprises are far more comfortable than the system.

They eat well, live well, can make money, and under normal circumstances do not violate discipline.

Perhaps what the old man worries about is that, as long as he remains healthy, his sons and daughters will have no problems and will continue to live comfortably; but once he rides the crane westward, the Qiao family will collapse.

Therefore he must cultivate the second-generation core; his own family won't do, so he must cultivate his son-in-law.

By the third generation, perhaps he had set his sights on himself.

Thinking this through, Su Yang felt another strange sensation.

From the perspective of their grassroots, upon hearing that a cadre from the capital is coming, their backs involuntarily bend a little.

Little do they know, the truly noble families in the capital are still striving to revive, still competing in various ways, still urging themselves to achieve.

At the bottom, one often only sees others' prosperous flourishing, but fails to see the effort they put in.

Of course, this is not to deny that some are indeed spoiled scions, but that is merely a minority.

Therefore, from his standpoint, one must not only work hard, but put in even more effort than those people, in order to stand firm and go far.

He said, "Thank you, Grandfather. I know you are saying this for my own good; without your words, I would not have such a profound awareness of the importance of my current work."

"Zhang Jiangbo is going this time with high rank, and given his relationship with Jia Guolong, I expect he won't give me a good face."

"But no matter what, I will keep the people's interests in mind, and I will complete all projects beneficial to the common people."

"Of course, I will also strive to shake off the label of 'officialdom killer,' unite the comrades that should be united, and seek to give our local common people an explanation before the new round of personnel adjustments you mentioned is completed."

The old man nodded with great satisfaction: "Good, good, very good."

"I heard the leadership's gift to you, the ink inscription, reads 'Ride the Wind and Break the Waves'; you must surely ponder and grasp its deep meaning, which is not in vain of the leadership's expectations."

"Alright, everyone has come today, so I won't linger here; let's have a good reunion meal, and after eating early we'll go visit a few old comrades."

During the meal, Zhou Ruohan quietly asked Su Yang, "How did you two go in for so long? What did my grandfather say to you?"

Su Yang spoke solemnly and seriously: "The old man said that genes as excellent as mine must not be wasted; at the very least we should have four to five children."

"He said that the country's modernization needs a large number of excellent talents; generally speaking, lower-class families find it hard to cultivate excellent talents, not because they are unwilling, nor because there are no exceptionally gifted children, but because the nurturing environment lags behind."

"Three generations of effort to cultivate a single talent is already unprecedented; even so, some will still be suppressed, or even fall because they have never seen the wider world, being lured and corrupted by various means."

"It is hard for a humble family to produce a holy body; therefore we families like ours must combine our advantages to contribute to the country's construction."

At first Zhou Ruohan listened attentively, but when she heard the later words 'It is hard for a humble family to produce a holy body,' she hummed and pinched Su Yang's arm: 'Are you telling me a story here? And having that many children, do you think I'm a pig?'

Nevertheless, her face bore a sweet smile, for these past days, thanks to Su Yang's spotlight, she indeed, already favored by her parents, received another wave of praise, making it hard for her to be in a bad mood.

Su Yang then briefly recounted what had just been said, mainly the old man's expectations of him and Old Zhou Zhou, but he finally added bluntly: 'Actually, the old man also hopes you will perform outstandingly in your work and rise to a higher position.'

Zhou Ruohan said with a hint of laziness: 'Before I met you, I already had this idea; moreover, women have a certain advantage within the system, because a team must definitely have female comrades.'

"But after meeting you, the Dao heart of my 'Sect Holy Maiden' has been destroyed by you, so my lifelong martial arts have been wasted; next I plan to stay in an enterprise, of course possibly switching to a unit with relatively better prospects that can also promote my growth and progress."

"Specifically I haven't figured it out yet, but in short, I likely will stay in the capital these few years to look after my parents and bring up children. When you eventually rise and secure a place for yourself, I will come find you."

Su Yang said, "Oh my, you learn so fast, learning and applying immediately."

Zhou Ruohan also giggled: "Not one family, not entering one door."

"By the way, tonight, if you don't pretend to drink too much later and then, unable to hold your liquor, fail to return, letting me take care of you, how does that sound?"

Su Yang said, "You are purely a case of big appetite for trouble; every time it's not you there dropping armor and fleeing, every time it's not you shouting and challenging."

The two of them were speaking thus when Xiao Qiao at the side asked, "What are you whispering about?"

Zhou Ruohan said, "We didn't say anything at all."

Xiao Qiao said, "I did hear you saying you still want to have four, five, six children, and that having children can also contribute to the country."

As the words fell, everyone burst into laughter, which gave Su Yang and Zhou Ruohan a big blush.

Following that, the atmosphere began to heat up; after everyone finished toasting the old man, they began to pair off and grapple.

Half an hour later, the old man took Old Zhou out; at that moment, Zhou Ruohan quietly edged up to Su Yang: 'Hurry up, what are you standing there for? Quickly pretend to be drunk.'
