Rebirth: 1977

Seeing that Ye Tianshui spoke with confidence, Ye Jianfeng laughed out of anger.

"You're dreaming. Don't you know you can't have your cake and eat it too? Ha, you want it all?

Should I say you have a big heart? Or should I say you have a wild heart? "

"Hehehe." Ye Tianshui smiled embarrassedly:

“Dad, I have always had a big and wild heart, you should know that.

Anyway, I have enough money, I have children, a lovely wife, and my abilities... Without bragging, I can do any job in any department as long as I am given the opportunity.

I just want a little more time freedom so I can take care of my wife, children and business.

As for power, with you, my father-in-law, Uncle Su, and Brother Chusheng and the others around, I can do whatever I want.

But I can't sit around and be a playboy, right? Dad, you don't want me to just sit there with my money and do nothing, right? "

Ye Jianfeng choked up, he knew that although what his son said was a little crazy, it all made sense.

With his abilities, he can excel and succeed in any department he enters.

The expression on his face relaxed, and he gave a serious and earnest admonition:

"Xiao Shui, don't be proud. No matter how talented you are, you must remember that there is always someone better than you.

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." You are still young and must learn to hide your shortcomings and conceal your edge.

In official circles, many times you can’t get what you want simply by your ability.

Those in a superior position, no matter what position they are in, need to learn the art of balance.

It may not be a good thing if all your subordinates are as capable and talented as you.

Su Jianxin gave you a powerful position, such as the director position in the Public Security Bureau. As long as you can give him corresponding reports, he will be able to suppress the dissatisfaction and resistance of other people around him.

Going higher, it is easy to get an honorary position, but real power requires time to hone and demonstrate the ability to convince others and to match your abilities.

Why do local officials who want to be promoted have to show their political achievements? Those can prove their ability and the results they have achieved.

We can give you a push from behind, but high-ranking officials and real power cannot be given to you just like that.

You need time to accumulate experience.

In other words, 'grow up experience'.

Once you enter the officialdom, don't have the unrealistic idea that you can soar to the top. The most you can do is to have a higher starting point than others and have more opportunities than others.

Even with us behind you, you still need to follow certain rules.

This is to avoid being caught by political enemies and being used to pick on you.

While you are gaining experience at the grassroots level, our positions are too high and we will not be able to protect you in many areas.

No matter what system you choose, the principles are the same.

If you want to stand at a higher position in the future, you must build a solid foundation and take one step at a time. Only then will you be able to keep the position you have worked hard for. "

Ye Tianshui listened carefully to Ye Jianfeng's teachings. Although he understood all these principles, he was still moved to hear the old man in front of him speaking and teaching him.

These are the old man’s heartfelt words!

He really treated himself as his son and was giving him guidance.

"Dad, don't worry, no matter which system I choose to enter in the future, I will start by training at the grassroots level.

I have worked on a construction site for several years, and I understand one thing: a tall building is built from the ground up, and the most important thing is to have a solid foundation.

If I want to stand tall in the future, I must start from the grassroots level with my feet on the ground.

I come from a poor background and I can't stand people who are arrogant and domineering and bully others. Dad, believe me, I was able to get into Qingdao University because my IQ and EQ are both good.

I will never bring shame to you."

Ye Tianshui answered very seriously.

The conversation between father and son ended here, and Ye Jianfeng didn't even consider which path Ye Tianshui should take in the future.

Humph, you have your own ideas. I won’t worry about it for you. Just make the decision yourself!

Ye Tianshui returned to the big villa where they lived, looked out the wall at the military camp, and asked Chen Jun:

"Should Platoon Leader Chen and his men be at the border by now?"

"According to the time calculation, it should be here."

Chen Jun looked at the empty military camp outside the wall, thinking about the soldiers who lived in it. He could hear the sounds of their morning exercises every day, full of enthusiasm.

After leaving, the manor became much quieter.

Ye Tianshui: "Among the ten veterans who retired this year, how many of them will be able to stay after the assessment?"

"The eight veterans are all in good physical condition. After they return home to visit their families, we will send them to the mines to strengthen the mine protection team."

Chen Jun answered seriously.

As for the replacement of the old with the new in the army, all Ye Tianshui can do is let nature take its course.

But these soldiers have followed him for several years and have developed trust in each other. Coincidentally, Ye Tianshui has two more jade mines and a gold mine, and the demand for mine protection team members is great, so they must be supplemented.

Although those mines were purchased, it takes hard power to keep them.

On the other side of the border, there are frequent fighting and killing, and snatching and robbing are happening almost every day.

Each of his mining guards is equipped with the world's most advanced pistols, rifles and submachine guns.

That's overseas. As long as you have money, what kind of weapons can't you buy?

But what Ye Tianshui has the most is money.

“Tell Platoon Leader Chen that he cannot be lazy in daily training, and the new recruits joining the army this year must be held to stricter standards.

If they are not qualified... I will discuss with my father-in-law and replace them with some of his soldiers who are about to retire."

Ye Tianshui explained to Chen Jun in a calm tone.

As long as someone follows Ye Tianshui, and as long as he is not a coward and is willing to work hard, Ye Tianshui will make the best use of him.

They will also give the other party the best welfare benefits.

"Yes, I noted it down."

Zi Lan and her children were playing on the lawn in front of the villa. The two children were rolling around in an orderly manner.

Ye Tianshui watched, joy welling up from the bottom of his heart.

He had always known that his mother-in-law Ye Yiling's usual play with the children was a disguised form of basic exercises.

"Our children must not be greenhouse flowers."

Hua Guoxing once proudly warned Ye Tianshui.

At first, the couple trained the child "secretly" because they were afraid that Ye Tianshui would be reluctant to let him go.

How could Ye Tianshui object?

He knows very well how important it is to have a good body.

The 'exercise' for children now is nothing more than exercising their flexibility and strengthening their bodies.

Exercise their own hands-on ability.

"Xiao Shui, my parents are very close to each other and they have never been cruel to Xiao Jin and Xiao Yi. My brother and I really suffered a lot when we were young.

As far as I can remember, they were ruthless and never blinked an eye."

Zi Lan blinked her big watery eyes and "complained" to Ye Tianshui.

"Hehe, tell your parents. As long as they don't feel bad, I won't blame them."

He knew that Zi Lan didn't want him to misunderstand that his parents-in-law used this method to discipline their children.

"Really? Don't you feel bad for your son and daughter?"

Zi Lan was delighted and asked him puzzledly.

"Of course I feel bad, but I also hope that our children can fight like us and not be bullied."

Ye Tianshui answered with confidence.

He had already made up his mind that once the child started elementary school, he would send him to Brother Chusheng's place every winter and summer vacation.

After all, parents-in-law can't bear to see their children suffer.

When Zi Lan saw Ye Tianshui coming home, he immediately raised his hand and shouted:

"Xiaojin, Xiaoyi, today is over, your dad is back."

Ye Tianshui ran towards Zi Lan first:

"How are you feeling?"

Hua Zilan smiled and took a few steps forward: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Daddy, daddy, hug me!"

Ye Jin shot towards Ye Tianshui like a small cannonball.

Ye Tianshui quickly bent down and stretched out his hand to stop him, reminding him carefully:

"Slow down, slow down, Xiaojin, you must walk slowly from now on. Don't knock your mother down, okay?"

"I know, Dad. Grandma says it several times every day, and Xiaojin remembers it."

"Hehe, I'm glad to know. Come, let daddy hold you."

"Dad, I want a hug."

Ye Yi, who was a beat slower, stretched out his two little hands and looked up at Ye Tianshui.
