Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 52: Yu Lao's Thoughts

Of course, Feng Sizhe would not embarrass Wen Chaoying in front of so many people. He was not yet at a high enough level, and he did not want to show anything in front of so many people and let others say that he was impolite. After hearing what he said, Feng Sizhe still smiled respectfully and replied, "Thank you for your appreciation, Uncle Wen. In fact, Grandpa has always told me your views, and I know that you have always appreciated me."

Feng Sizhe said these two and a half sentences without any beginning or end, and then he stood beside his grandfather and stopped talking. But these two and a half sentences really made Wen Chaoying feel a little confused.

"What do you mean? Zhao Mingyuan talked about himself in front of this young man, which means that he knew clearly that he opposed the views of those articles. However, since he knew that he opposed them, he still said such things. This young man either never heard Zhao Mingyuan talk about himself, or he was just pretending to be stupid, or even hinted from the bottom of his heart that he should not say one thing and mean another." Suddenly, Wen Chaoying's body was shaken. It shouldn't be the second one. If it was, it meant that Feng Sizhe was too cunning. He was just a young man who had just returned from abroad. How could he be so experienced in dealing with things? Well, it must be that Zhao Mingyuan had never told him about himself, and he just said it casually just to save face for himself.

Wen Chaoying felt relieved when he thought about it this way. He didn't expect that Feng Sizhe was really pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, just to say that he was not sincere.

Zhao Mingyuan, who knew about this, was stunned when he heard his grandson say this. He knew that Feng Sizhe was secretly mocking Wen Chaoying, but Wen Chaoying just frowned twice and acted as if nothing had happened. It seemed that he still didn't think highly of Feng Sizhe. Haha, well, you just look down on your opponent. This is also a loss for you. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but look at Feng Sizhe with more appreciation. His grandson was amazing. His tepid words seemed to be flattering Wen Chaoying, but in fact, he was saying that he was hypocritical. The most important thing was that Wen Chaoying didn't even hear it. This was really interesting. It seemed that Feng Sizhe did have some political wisdom.

Wen Chaoying looked indifferent, but Zhao Mingyuan was smiling. All of this was seen by the two Mr. He standing by.

Whether it was He Chuanjiong or He Chuanye, they all knew that the Wen family and the Zhao family were not getting along. In fact, it was just a difference of opinion born from the difference of two philosophies.

The main power of the Wen family is in the political world. They believe that if the country wants to develop in the future, it must change its mindset of focusing on military development. This is actually the general trend, and it is correct to say it, but the Wen family attaches too much importance to political factors and simply despises the idea of ​​a strong military country. As a result, it naturally becomes an enemy of the Zhao family, which has always been developing in the military world.

Different political ideologies led to different thoughts between the two sides, which was normal. However, the Wen family should never interfere in military affairs, saying that military expenses were too high this year and that exercises and competitions were unnecessary. This made Zhao Mingyuan, an absolute supporter of the military, unhappy, and the two families seemed to be at odds with each other.

Especially this time, Zhao Mingyuan, according to Feng Sizhe's opinion, proposed that there might be a Gulf War in Iraq. Regardless of whether this was right or wrong, it first aroused the anger of people like the Wen family who always looked down on the military. They thought that Zhao Mingyuan was intentionally strengthening the concept of a country's military and that they were using this as a disguised way to get military spending. For this reason, when this article was just published in the internal reference, it caused a strong counterattack and criticism from the Wen family and others, which also caused Zhao Mingyuan and his son to be passive and under pressure for a certain period of time. I guess Feng Sizhe didn't know about these things at all, but he should have heard about them to some extent. But why would this young man say such a thing? Could it be that Zhao Mingyuan really didn't mention it to his grandson, or was it because Feng Sizhe deliberately pretended to be stupid to describe Wen Chaoying as being hypocritical and two-faced?

After the two elders of the He family looked at Zhao Mingyuan, they came to a conclusion. Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan, who always showed his emotions, was so happy at this moment, and even almost whistled, they knew that Feng Sizhe might have done it on purpose. He was so young and knew how to say such a subtle thing about a vice-ministerial official. The two elders of the He family were delighted. Such a marriage with the He family was really a good thing. It has always been like this since ancient times. If some people are powerful, you should find a way to recruit them for your own use and become friends. Feng Sizhe will undoubtedly be a friend of the He family.

With the help of Wen Fengqin and Wen Rujie, Old Yu walked to the small table and sat down. Then she waved to Old He and the He family, "Okay, everyone sit down and prepare to eat. It's New Year's Day, so don't follow so many rules."

Although Old Yu is only sixty years old, she is indeed a well-deserved hero of the He family. In the turbulent times shortly after the founding of the Republic, Old Yu made great efforts for the He family and advocated for it, which allowed the He family to be basically preserved intact during that struggle. Her contribution is not small, and for this reason she has her own unique position in the He family.

Just like before, how could she not know why Wen Fengqin and Wen Rujie were flattering her? They were just looking at the influence of the He family in the army and wanted to form an alliance with the He family. Speaking of which, the Wen family is indeed quite extraordinary. Let's not talk about how politically savvy the current head of the Wen family, Wen Guoyue, is. Just say that the Wen family has a good connection from generation to generation. Especially recently, I heard that Wen Chaoying's eldest son, Wen Ruhao, seemed to be engaged to the granddaughter of the eldest Lu family, who was in the limelight. Based on this, there will be no problems for the Lu family in the next few years.

Now the Wen family has set their sights on the He family. If everything goes well, the Wen family will have a foundation in the military. Of course, if the He family can really have some relatives with the Wen family, then the future of the He family will be easier. Seeing that her husband's health is getting worse day by day, how can Yu Lao not worry about the future of the He family? That's why she deliberately acted out a play of getting close to Wen Rujie, just to show her granddaughter He Shasha, so that she can compare. In the eyes of young people, not only is Feng Sizhe good, but young people like Wen Rujie are also good. The most important thing is that his family background is good, which is much better than the Zhao family. The Zhao family only has some status in the military, but with the relationship of the He family, it is already very powerful in the military. Will they care about Zhao Mingyuan?

Zhao Mingyuan was just trying to take advantage of the He family, although the Wen family also had the same idea, but the difference was that Zhao Mingyuan could do very little to help the He family when they had problems, and they were far less influential than the Wen family. This was also the main reason why Wen Fengqin directly criticized Feng Sizhe in front of Li Qiujuan, but she just watched and said nothing.

It's not that Mr. Yu doesn't approve of Feng Sizhe. At such a young age, he can get a double master's degree from a world-renowned university. It's a lie to say that Feng Sizhe is not smart. He is too smart. It's not easy to achieve such results at such a young age. But what the He family needs now is not a smart person or a handsome boy, but someone who can really help the He family and keep the He family from falling. Obviously, from this perspective, Feng Sizhe is far less suitable to be the son-in-law of the He family than Wen Rujie.

As someone who advocates free love, Yu Lao didn't necessarily want to interfere in her granddaughter's marriage. She was just making a suggestion. After all, the only granddaughter who truly belonged to her was He Shasha, and she couldn't help but consider her happiness. If she had two new granddaughters, she would like one to marry Feng Sizhe and the other to marry Wen Rujie.
