Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui had no intention of hiding his thoughts from Wu Pingtao.

Everyone has their own aspirations. When it comes to career, no matter which camp you stand on, as long as you don't do anything unscrupulous, become accomplices to the evil, or do anything unscrupulous, the goal you ultimately want to achieve is the same.

It doesn't mean that we have to fight to the death to serve each other. We can also work together in different ways.

The key is to look at the individual's character. Even if you are in the same camp, it is more terrifying to encounter someone who will do anything to achieve his goals and stab you in the back.

He told Su Jianxin that it all depends on his attitude. People with a big vision can see far, and only people with lofty ideals can stand higher and go further.

It turns out that Mr. Wu is a high-ranking person who is both resourceful and sensible. He has made many stupid moves in the past two years only because he is old and is confined to the small space of a house of dozens of square meters.

Faced with the dual threats of illness and death, without a trustworthy heir and his family in decline, he had no one to whom to devote his life's efforts. All he wanted was to weaken some of the competitors who might threaten his Wu family before he passed away.

For example, Ye Tianshui.

Five years ago, Mr. Wu would not have taken his anger out on Ye Tianshui, who was on good terms with his grandson and had a promising future, just because his grandson was out of control.

Those shrewd emperors in ancient times would do some foolish things when they got old and be infamous for eternity.

"Uncle Su, I agree with your approach. We can trust Brother Tao's character. As the saying goes, 'You can tell a person's future by looking at him when he's three years old.' He's already over thirty, and his character is already set.

Even if he decided to return to the Wu family, it wouldn't mean anything.

It was just the place where he was born and raised, his roots, and had nothing to do with his work or future career.

We don't have to make things difficult for him. Instead, we should help him when necessary, or even lend him a helping hand when appropriate.

It may temporarily make Sister Su Xin feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

If it really comes to that, it will be up to you to do ideological work for Sister Su Xin.

There will be many crossroads in life. As long as we have the same goal and are not going in opposite directions, at most we will take a few more detours. In the end, we will meet at the top of the mountain.”

Ye Tianshui's words were understandable to Su Jianxin, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Su Jianxin, who was already over 50 years old, couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

The young people in front of me not only have aspirations, but also the ambition and confidence to "climb high".

Similarly, he had great trust in Wu Pingtao.

"Xiao Shui, when Uncle Su was your age, he only knew how to fight bravely and fiercely, but he didn't have the broad mind and ambition like you.

‘Where there is a will, there is a way’, you will get what you want.”

Su Jianxin's 'uncle smile' gave Ye Tianshui goose bumps all over his body.

He quickly changed the subject: "Why do you make yourself so tired? What can't you hand over to the people below?

I think Shi Junshan is very good. When he has something to do, his whole spirit and energy are completely different."

Su Jianxin looked at Ye Tianshui in surprise and asked seriously:

"Didn't that guy do some mean things to you? Do you mind?"

Ye Tianshui smiled calmly:

"Why should I mind? It was an unintentional act at the beginning, just a favor. I didn't expect anything in return when I did it.

He survived a life-and-death struggle in the countryside, wasting the best years of his life.

When he returned to Beijing, he couldn't see his future and didn't want to bring any possible trouble around him, which is a normal human choice.

Compared with his brothers in the family, he is a man of integrity. As the saying goes, "no gold is pure, no man is perfect", so we cannot be too demanding.

As far as I know, his work ability and political attitude are both remarkable.

You need a good subordinate who can share the pressure with you. I suggest you consider him.

At least, I have seen how he behaved in the countryside over the past decade."

Su Jianxin laughed: "Stinky boy, now it seems that Uncle Su has been a villain in vain?

Well, you have given me a good idea. I have seen Shi Junshan become a real man in recent years.

Just like you said, no one is perfect, and we can't just judge a person based on a few flaws.

I have been entangled in some trivial matters recently. All the parents and relatives who have been detained have mobilized themselves and want to find someone to intercede for them and seek leniency outside the law.

If you think about it, those who come to me for help must have powerful backgrounds.

It was making me restless, but luckily I had instructed the guards in the compound to stop anyone who came looking for me.

Even so, there are still some things that cannot be stopped.”

As he was speaking, the phone on the desk rang "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling".

Su Jianxin was stunned and smiled helplessly:

“I start to get a headache when I hear the phone ringing, but I can’t not answer it, for fear of missing out on important instructions.

But most of the calls are begging for mercy, so I just hide away."

Ye Tianshui stood up:

"I won't bother you any more, but since you're afraid of receiving such calls, install an extension to your secretary.

It will not affect your work and can also help you avoid some personal matters.

Given the current situation, who dares to plead for those people?

Your position is particularly sensitive. Once you start, you will be plagued by endless troubles.

Those who have benefited from you may not be grateful to you, and when you are in trouble, won't they all try to protect themselves?

Maybe there will be others who will take advantage of your misfortune.

Remember, most of the people who wish you bad things come from your so-called relatives and friends.

I'm leaving, take care!

I'll write a registered letter to Brother Tao as soon as I get back. Some things are inconvenient to talk about over the phone.

Haha, in these stormy days, we must also learn to protect ourselves! "

Ye Tianshui waved his hand casually, glanced at the phone, which was still ringing, and sneered: "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"

Su Jianxin pressed his brows lightly. He hadn't slept well these past few days and his head had been aching slightly.

Ye Tianshui's words were all meant to remind him that, although the child was young, his knowledge and experience were so great that he wanted to surpass himself soon.

The important thing is that he dared to say it in front of him. He smiled slightly and felt much better.

The phone stopped ringing for a while and then rang again. He stood up and unplugged the connector next to him. The world suddenly became quiet.

If it was really a call from above, and no one answered it here, the call would have been passed on to someone else long ago.

How come he hasn't given up after making trouble for more than ten minutes?

Su Jianxin also figured it out. There was nothing wrong with parents wanting to find a way out for their children.

But he didn't have the ability to help them, and besides, didn't he understand the principle that 'if a son is not taught, it is the fault of the father'?

Why should I have known today?

They have spoiled their children to the point of being lawless, and now someone is trying to deal with them. Do they feel heartbroken and anxious?

Don't you know what the situation is like now? Why do you come to me for help even though you know you can't help me?

Isn't that making things difficult for him?

Xiaoshui is right. When it is time to protect yourself, you have to protect yourself first.

Although the sentence is a bit heavy this time, if your child was not so arrogant and domineering and liked to stir up trouble, how could he have fallen into the trap?

Oh, I wish you all the best!

Su Jianxin rang the bell, and the secretary next door quickly pushed the door open with a terrified look on his face.

He knew the director was there, but the life-threatening phone call made him nervous and uneasy.

"Director, what's the matter?"

"Go and call Deputy Director Shi to my office and tell him I have something to discuss with him."
