Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

In the end, the two did not return to the small courtyard, but returned to Liu's house.

After all, in the morning, Fang Xiang still agreed to go home for dinner with Liu's mother.

After dinner, Father Liu took Fang Xiang into the study.

"Make some tea."

Father Liu sat on the chair, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

"okay."

Fang Xiang turned around and left the study, went to the kitchen and brought in the kettle that had already boiled.

Then he took out a can of black tea from the pile of tea in the bookcase.

First, I cleaned the tea sets on the coffee table before making a pot of tea.

"Yes, your tea-making skills have improved."

Father Liu picked up the white porcelain teacup, took a sip of tea, and nodded.

“It’s all just guesswork.”

Fang Xiang smiled and took a sip of the tea, not sure if it was because it had been stored for too long or if it was a matter of taste.

I feel that Mr. Liu’s black tea is not as delicious as the Zhengshan Xiaozhong that Director Yin gave me before.

“It’s good to drink more tea.

Drinking tea can calm your mind and nourish your spirit. The most important thing for you now is no longer to do things.

It’s time to learn how to cultivate your energy.

Although you are still young, it is time to fight and strive.

But if ordinary people want to reach your position, they have to be at least in their forties or even fifty years old.

You are only less than 21 years old, and you have already stepped onto the stage. Climbing too fast may not necessarily be a good thing. "

Father Liu drank the tea in the cup in small sips.

Then he didn't let Fang Xiang pour the tea, but poured himself some tea.

"what do you mean?"

Fang Xiang had never been a civil servant in his previous life, but he also knew that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Father Liu has been engaged in revolution all his life and now he is at the top.

Their vision, perspective and sense of smell are much better than those of ordinary people.

There must be a reason why Mr. Liu said this.

“If no one else mentions it, let’s just talk about your eldest brother.

The same age as you, still in school.

After graduation, he went to the grassroots, but he is much worse than you.

My mind is not on work, I'm always looking for something fun.

Running around with that bunch of bad friends.

If I hadn't forced him down, something might have happened.

Otherwise, why would I let him stay in the Communist Youth League until he was thirty years old?

I followed you to Luoyi last year, and now I have become a decent person.

Although I didn't accomplish much, I did learn a lot about how to be a human being and an official.

In the future, once he has established a firm position, he can give full play to his abilities and do something practical for the people.

Just like this, how many people have been surpassed?

With the regional conference to be held after the New Year approaching, the commissioner of the prefectural party committee will be leaving office soon.

He then continued to do so.

Looking around the country, how many district committee commissioners are there in their thirties?

And it’s in an important industrial city like Luoyi?

Not to mention you, Second Automobile Works will also be listed after the new year, and it will definitely be at the level of a full-time department head.

As for you, you are the deputy factory director and chief engineer, but your rank is also at the level of a full department head.

Not to mention that you now have a level five professional title.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, your mentor will help you with the operation from behind.

When you are listed on Second Automobile Works, you will also have to add one or even two levels of professional titles.

By then, you might be an associate professor and a department-level official.

This is definitely a senior official.

Not to mention Luoyi and Henan Province, even if it is spread across the whole country, or even the whole world.

At your age, it's all scorpion shit, unique.

How many people's attention do you think this will attract?"

Father Liu held a cigarette in one hand and played with a small teacup in the other.

He looked at Fang Xiang and carefully analyzed Fang Xiang's current situation.

"Today, you are still a level 5 researcher and senior engineer.

The administrative level is only comparable to that of department-level cadres.

Although it sounds exaggerated, it is based on the outstanding contributions you have made before.

Even if some people are jealous, everyone still approves of it.

After the new year, when Second Automobile Works is listed, the achievement of this trip to Hong Kong Island will be counted in your credit.

Tell me yourself, how conspicuous are you?"

He finished the tea in the cup and took the last puff of his cigarette.

Father Liu leaned back, put his hand on the armrest of the sofa chair, and began to tap the armrest with his index finger.

After saying this, even Fang Xiang fell silent.

Yes, I traveled through time from 64, and in just two and a half years, I unexpectedly climbed to such a high position without realizing it.

Now I am still a young mid-level cadre. After the new year, won’t I be a senior cadre?

At that time, I was only 22 years old.

It would have been fine if no one saw me, but as soon as Second Automobile Works was listed, I took office immediately.

I don’t know how many eyes across the country will be staring at me.

What’s the difference between this and the spotlight shining on yourself?

Wouldn't others be holding a magnifying glass and staring at me all the time, waiting for me to make mistakes?

"What do you think about giving away your interests?"

However, before Fang Xiang could remain silent for long, Father Liu lit another cigarette.

“I originally had some ideas.

But after what you said just now, I feel that being safe and sound is more important than anything else."

Fang Xiang took a long breath when he heard this.

Before coming back, I had several plans in mind.

Thinking about this benefit, I can't just give it away for free, I have to get something in return.

This is also due to his habitual thinking. He always feels that it is in his bowl.

It's not so easy to take benefits out of your own bowl.

But after hearing what Father Liu said, Fang Xiang understood clearly that eating alone would come at a huge price.

"Yes, at your age, you are better than me to be able to see this.

When I was 21, although I was already a platoon leader, all I could think about was fuck him.

Why so many twists and turns?

Are you mentally prepared?"

Father Liu nodded with satisfaction, and even picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Xiang.

“But didn’t they say before that Professor Xu would serve as chief engineer?

I can just stay behind the scenes and do my work, but is that still possible now?"

Fang Xiang saw Father Liu pouring tea for him, so he quickly leaned over and held the teacup with his hand.

“It’s too late.

Do you still remember that I called Professor Xu after you came back from Hong Kong Island?

Later, after Professor Xu came back from Guangzhou, he came to me and had a deep talk with me.

His opinion about you is very clear, and he can no longer hide it.

Since you can't hide it, just step forward and show it to the public.

Your age is actually a disadvantage. If you are too young, people will point fingers at you.

But at the same time, reaching a high position at a young age is also an advantage.

So Professor Xu pointed out two paths. One is to continue doing your scientific research.

The second is to turn to official career.

I think Professor Xu’s opinion is very good.

But it’s up to you to choose the path and walk it.”

After Mr. Liu poured tea for Fang Xiang, he refilled his own cup.

He put the cigarette on the ashtray and picked up the teacup again to sip it.

“That level, can you suppress it a little?

Just like you said, I feel stressed because I climb too fast. . . ”

Fang Xiang hesitated for a moment, thinking that these two paths were actually not urgent.

It’s still not too late to choose again in a few years.

Now that Father Liu is in his prime, he may be able to move up in the future.

Professor Xu looks quite old, but it is not easy for him to retire in a short period of time.

So many of his disciples and followers depend on Professor Xu for their livelihood, and he is also responsible for many national projects.

Even if I want to quit, it will take a few years at least.

On second thought, I decided to walk slower and give myself more time to calm down.

"You've got it wrong on this point."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu directly refuted.

"How... do you mean?"

Fang Xiang was a little confused for a moment.
