Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Indeed, some things in his life might not be clearly seen by outsiders. It can be said that Feng Sizhe pointed out many things in one sentence. It was also a rebuttal to Duan Jianghe's words.

Duan Jianghe didn't expect Feng Sizhe's words to be so sharp. He didn't know how to defend himself coldly or he didn't care about Feng Sizhe at all. He just laughed and passed it over. He didn't dare to make any judgments about the Soviet Union now, but since Feng Sizhe said it was a good opportunity, he might as well let his son take the money and try there. Anyway, through Feng Sizhe, his son Duan Yunpeng has made a lot of money. Even if he loses this time, it's no big deal. Doing business is sometimes the same as fighting a war. Winning and losing are common in the military. Don't be too serious. People who only win and don't allow themselves to lose often seem to be glorious, but in fact, such people are extremely fragile.

It was not Duan Jianghe's characteristic to discuss something that he didn't know would happen. Although he was a high-ranking official in the future and his horizons were broadened, as the deputy secretary of the Kyoto Municipal Party Committee, his horizons were not very broad and his vision was not very large. He was still more limited to the small piece of land in Kyoto.

Without discussing the Soviet Union, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides became much better. Duan Jianghe was concerned about Feng Sizhe's studies abroad, and also about Zhao Mingyuan's health.

Feng Sizhe was very happy to see Duan Jianghe talking to him with the attitude of an elder who cares about the growth of the next generation. After all, deepening of personal feelings was the main purpose of Feng Sizhe's visit to the Duan family. For this reason, he answered all the questions raised by Duan Jianghe one by one, and even talked about the different education systems between Britain and his motherland. He didn't expect that people would put the reform of the national system on the agenda after listening to him. He really wanted to lay an ambush on these issues in advance, so that when Duan Jianghe took charge of the State Council in the future, he would have a certain understanding of education reform.

Sure enough, Duan Jianghe was very interested in many of the advanced teaching methods abroad that Feng Sizhe mentioned. He asked many questions very carefully, and only nodded with a satisfied smile on his face after getting Feng Sizhe's more detailed answers.

The two of them sat there and chatted for more than three hours. They talked about the world economy, military affairs, and human geography. During the conversation with Feng Sizhe, Duan Jianghe also deeply felt that Feng Sizhe had a very wide range of knowledge and had his own unique opinions in many aspects. He couldn't help but look up to Feng Sizhe, but at the same time he had other ideas in his mind, "Well, Xiaozhe, as far as I know, you have graduated from the Youth Class, right? How about it, do you have any ideas? If you want to come to work in the Kyoto Municipal Committee, I can still have the final say."

Leaning back on the sofa, Duan Jianghe looked extremely relaxed.

Feng Sizhe was stunned, and then he saw that Duan Jianghe had a tentative look under his calm appearance. He guessed that the other party was testing his own thoughts, and he answered immediately, "Thank you Uncle Duan for your kindness, but I personally still want to go down and train. I have been in Beijing since I came back from abroad, and I feel that my horizons seem a bit narrow. If I rashly stay in Kyoto, I may not understand and cherish this hard-earned happy life." Feng Sizhe thought for a moment and gave Duan Jianghe the answer.

"Oh, you want to go to the countryside? That's very hard, right?" Hearing Feng Sizhe's intention to go to the countryside for training, Duan Jianghe felt that his idea was right, but he was also a little hesitant. Could a child like Feng Sizhe, who had grown up in a comfortable environment, really endure the hardships of the countryside? There was also a rumor that Zhao Mingyuan loved his grandson very much. Could he bear to let him leave him?

"Haha, only those who have endured hardships can become successful. While I'm still young, I'd like to go to the grassroots to gain some training. Besides, my grandfather has already agreed." Feng Sizhe seemed to have seen through Duan Jianghe's thoughts. He answered Duan Jianghe's questions one by one in an orderly manner and explained very patiently.

"So that's how it is. Well, it's good to exercise underground. Sometimes looking up from the bottom can give you a different state of mind. Haha, okay, I personally support you no matter where you go. Given your relationship with Yunpeng, you can come to my house more often in the future. Of course, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know. After chatting today, I feel like I get along very well with you, hahaha." After hesitating for a moment, Duan Jianghe finally said what Feng Sizhe had always wanted to hear since he came here today.

Upon hearing that Duan Jianghe had accepted him, Feng Sizhe stood up immediately and said respectfully, "Thank you, Uncle Duan, for your kindness. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you in the future."

"Hahaha, good, good." Looking at Feng Sizhe who was taking advantage of the situation, he just let him go, but he really caught up with him. Duan Jianghe couldn't help wondering if Feng Sizhe had set a trap for him long ago, waiting for him to say such words. But when he thought about it, how could he be so cunning at the age of only 23? If he said that his family taught him, then Zhao Mingyuan was good at fighting, but he was far behind in playing tricks. I really don't know who taught Feng Sizhe, how could he be so scheming.

But now that he had said this, he couldn't just take it back. Besides, he still admired Feng Sizhe from the bottom of his heart, and he also valued such young talents. Maybe it would be a good thing to form a deep friendship with such a young man with ideas.

Duan Jianghe laughed and made up his mind, but out of politeness he asked Feng Sizhe to stay for dinner.

Feng Sizhe knew that this was a way for people to see him off. It was his first time at the Duan family and he had not prepared any gifts. He felt a little embarrassed to stay for dinner. He quickly bowed his head and apologized, saying that his grandfather was still waiting for him at home. Next time he came to the Duan family, he would bring some gifts and stay as a guest.

Seeing Feng Sizhe being so polite, Duan Jianghe nodded continuously, then waved his hand and asked Duan Yunpeng to send Feng Sizhe off on his behalf.

Finally leaving the Duan family compound, Feng Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had behaved extremely naturally in the past few hours, God knew how careful he had been. He weighed every word he said, fearing that he would lose points in front of Duan Jianghe if he said something wrong. Now thinking about it, everything was fine, at least there were no obvious loopholes.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, you are amazing. You can actually talk to my father for several hours. You are definitely the first among young people. I admire you." After getting on the Crown car, Duan Yunpeng changed his cautious and serious expression in the villa. He laughed and gave Feng Sizhe a thumbs up.

"Haha, stop making fun of me. The main reason is that Uncle Duan is approachable and has no airs, so we chatted for a while longer." Feng Sizhe flattered Duan Jianghe silently again and put his own performance behind him. He just didn't want others to talk about him. Being too young and being the focus of attention may not be a good thing.

"Well, it's not easy for young people to be proud of themselves. Hehe, I think it's getting late. Why don't we go home later and find a place to eat first. How about we go to the newly established Chang'an Leisure Center?" Duan Yunpeng started the car while talking. Of course, his eyes would occasionally glance at Feng Sizhe who was sitting on the passenger seat.
