Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"But I always feel that with the little guy's talent, he really shouldn't step into the quagmire of official career!"

The leader sighed slightly. It was not that he did not want to train the little guy to be his successor, but he felt that a scientific research leader was much more important than a successor.

"Maybe, who knows?"

The old man muttered to himself.

But when Zhou Tian arrived at Zhang Mingzhi's house, he saw Zhang Mingzhi carrying a lot of bags and preparing to go out.

"I say, Lao Zhang, what are you going to do?"

"Dean, why are you here? I was just about to go to your house to wish you a happy new year. Come in and sit down!"

Zhang Mingzhi quickly put down the package in his hand and pulled Zhou Tian into the house.

Zhang Mingzhi owns a two-courtyard courtyard house. Perhaps influenced by Zhou Tian, ​​several vice presidents of the institute prefer courtyard houses.

After entering the main room, Zhang Mingzhi first asked Zhou Tian to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Dean, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Zhou Tian naturally had nothing to hide from Zhang Mingzhi. He also knew that compared with Zhang Mingzhi, his political wisdom was undoubtedly much worse, so he repeated his leader's words to him.

"What, how could this be?"

After hearing what the dean said, Zhang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment. You know, the dean is the mainstay of the research institute. How could the higher-ups transfer the dean so easily? This must be a joke.

But then he came to his senses, and suddenly his mind flashed back to what the old leader had said to him when he went to his old leader's house some time ago, and he suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart.

It was like a thunderbolt that shook him to the point of being stunned. If that was the case, then what about the dean?

Thinking of this, he couldn't tell whether he was shocked, surprised, or terrified, but in the end he decided to hide this fact and could only smile bitterly and said, "Dean, you founded the institute. If you leave, what will happen to the institute?"

"This is also something I don't understand. Logically, I am just the dean of a research institute. Why do you think the leaders want me to take up a post in a local government? And to be honest, I don't want to leave the research institute. Lao Zhang, you have been in the local government for a long time. Can you analyze for me what I should do?"

Zhou Tian spoke with a worried look on his face. In fact, he was a little afraid of a career in officialdom. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary citizen. The thought of entering officialdom and fighting against the elites in officialdom made him feel overwhelmed.

If he, a political novice, were to face those people, he wouldn't dare to imagine whether he would end up being eaten by wolves like a sheep.

"Dean, in fact, I think the higher-ups are planning to use you!"

Seeing the hospital in such a state, Zhang Mingzhi was actually very envious. You know, this is a transfer from the enterprise to the local level. Compared with the small number of people in the enterprise, the power of the local level is much greater.

"I also know that the higher-ups value me, but the problem is that I know myself well and I don't think I can adapt. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Zhou Tian said this with a bitter face, but suddenly he felt that what he said seemed a bit Versailles, so he stopped talking. Since the result had already been decided by the higher-ups, he could only cover up the situation.

After staying at Zhang Mingzhi's house for more than two hours and expressing his inner distress, Zhou Tian felt a lot more relaxed. After chatting for a while, he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Zhang Mingzhi insisted on putting all his bags into Zhou Tian's car.

When Zhou Tian returned home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Only when he returned home with large and small bags of things did he remember that he had not eaten lunch today.

No wonder I'm so hungry.

"Boss, you're back. What did you buy? Why so much?"

Shen Yulin heard the noise coming from outside the house and couldn't help but come out. When she saw what her husband was holding, she stepped forward and took it.

"What are you buying? These are all gifts from Lao Zhang!"

Zhou Tian returned to the room feeling a little tired, and lay on the bed, feeling very unwilling to move.

"What's wrong? Are you tired today, or did something happen?"

After putting away the things, Shen Yulin saw her husband lying on the bed with a look of despair on his face, and couldn't help but walk up to him and ask with concern.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry!"

Zhou Tian turned to look at his wife and said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Puchi, look at you like this, okay, I'll go heat up some food for you!"

Shen Yulin couldn't help but chuckle at the look on her husband's face. She turned around and stepped into the kitchen again. After a while, she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of dumplings.

When he saw the food, Zhou Tian immediately stood up, took the bowl, and wolfed it down.

"Okay, eat slowly. Didn't you eat at Zhang Mingzhi's house?"

Looking at the way her husband ate, Shen Yulin couldn't help feeling a little strange. After all, Zhang Mingzhi's family wasn't short of food.

"Hey, don't mention it. When I went to his house, the guy didn't even think about it. I was just talking to him about work at the time and forgot about it!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand while eating.

"You two are such funny people that you even forget to eat!"

After finishing his meal and drinking a glass of water, Zhou Tian felt more energetic and looked at Shen Yulin.

"Wife, if I go to work in a local government, will you follow me or stay at home?"

Shen Yulin, who was cleaning up the dishes, paused slightly when she heard her husband's words and looked at Zhou Tian strangely.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Aren't you the dean of the research institute? How can you be appointed to a local position?"

Shen Yulin was not an ordinary housewife who was illiterate. She knew that researchers like her husband were generally rarely transferred, let alone taken up local posts.

"I mean what if!"

Zhou Tian couldn't tell his wife about the leader's affairs, so he could only use guiding words to explain.

"Need I ask? We will definitely stay. If we all leave, what will happen to the children's schooling? What about our grandparents? They are so old now, do you still want them to follow us around? And the children, where else can you find an educational environment comparable to that of Beijing?"

Listening to his wife's chattering, even Zhou Tian had to admit that what she said made sense. However, when he thought about going to another place alone and having sleepless nights every day, to be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only accept his fate. Just as his wife said, his grandparents at home really need someone to stay with them, and he also has younger brothers and sisters, a whole family. After all, he is an adult, and compared to his grandparents and children, he can at least take care of himself.

"Too!"

Zhou Tian nodded, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
