He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Huo Yingjun, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but speak up and express his opinion.
“Grandpa, Dad, I also think Uncle wrote well,” Huo Yingjun said. “It’s much better to discover the problem now and solve it as soon as possible than to let the factory die and have no chance at all. Moreover, state-owned enterprises still have a great advantage. As long as they want to change, they can always seize the opportunity, which will benefit the country and the people.”
After all, state-owned enterprises have connections and resources. If they still can't do a good job, then it can only be attributed to human factors.
“Yes, Yingjun is right,” Huo Zhegan said. “Dad, if you’re worried, call my second brother back, and we’ll talk about it in detail.”
Old Master Huo thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need. It's already been sent out, so there's no point in worrying. We might as well do more to make the second son's article more influential."
As Mr. Huo gets older, he prefers to be more cautious.
"Alright, anyway, our family has a solid foundation in Yanjing, so you don't need to worry about your second brother," Huo Zhegan comforted him, showing his confidence in his second brother.
Yesterday, his former boss also discussed the matter with him. While praising him, the boss's eyes showed respect, proving that the former boss also valued his younger brother's writing and talent.
The three members of the family were worried, but even more excited.
Since Huo Zhekun's article was published in the internal reference, many people who are close to Huo Zhekun have come over, expressing excitement and anticipation.
Because the implementation of every measure requires personnel.
Now is the perfect time to make a contribution.
Li Qiang spent his days discussing with Huo Zhekun whether or not to implement this policy first in some companies in Nanshi.
Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "I'm just presenting the issues I've been thinking about. As for how to implement them, that's not something we can decide. After all, this is a big cake, and it's impossible for it to be just for us. I guess there are other people who will also be cutting into the cake."
"Oh dear, what a pity, this is all thanks to you." Li Qiang and Huo Zhekun have always worked together harmoniously, which is why Nanshi has achieved such great success, ranking among the top in the country.
"Hehe, the cake is too big for us to eat. Besides, this is something that will offend people, so the more people involved, the better." Huo Zhekun and his son had already discussed the consequences, so they were even more eager for more people to get involved.
Anyway, what he and his son researched was correct, so he was confident and not worried.
“That’s right,” Li Qiang said. “No matter what happens in the future, I will support you. Let’s work together to make something of ourselves.”
"Okay, good." Huo Zhekun agreed. Having a supportive leader was much better than having one who held him back.
After returning home, Huo Zhekun told his son about the current situation.
"Hehe, everything is within our expectations, Dad. Just do your job well," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. His father had been in officialdom for so many years and knew how to achieve political success while also protecting himself.
Huo Yingjie has never worried about this.
"Okay, hopefully those policies can be released as soon as possible," Huo Zhekun said with a smile. "That way, the specific measures we've prepared can be implemented."
“Yes,” Huo Yingjie said with a smile, agreeing wholeheartedly. “However, you shouldn’t submit your specific policies.”
"Of course, it's been submitted. They all did as I said. When everyone's results are equally good, then I won't stand out." Huo Zhekun smiled smugly, having already made his plans.
However, Huo Zhekun hadn't anticipated that while the leaders involved in the state-owned enterprise reform pilot zones also wanted a piece of the pie, and some even memorized Huo Zhekun's articles for internal reference, they lacked concrete plans. As a result, these individuals with connections and influence had already been eyeing Nanshi for some time.
They'll do whatever Huo Zhekun does!
After all, it was Huo Zhekun who came up with the idea, and he was more thoughtful than they were.
He Tiantian and Jiang Lifang didn't understand or want to know about matters between men.
Grandma Jiang Lifang couldn't bear to leave the old house in Dayushu Lane, so on Sunday, she took He Tiantian and the children to go back for a visit. They tidied up and aired out the house's belongings.
The children played in the familiar courtyard, while Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian started hanging things out to dry.
"Sweetie, we won't go back for lunch. Go out and buy some food, we'll just grab something to eat," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. "Once the clothes are done drying, we'll go back together this afternoon."
"Okay," He Tiantian agreed. "Alright, you guys stay home, I'll go buy some food."
He Tiantian didn't ask her mother-in-law what she liked to eat, because the thoughtful He Tiantian knew the preferences of all her family members.
He Tiantian, carrying her wallet, walked two blocks to a bustling area with many restaurants. Because she had a child with her, she went to a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant and ordered braised shredded tofu, stir-fried bok choy, corn with pine nuts, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, braised crab meat lion's head meatballs, and three-layered duck.
Having ordered so many, it's not easy to take them all back.
So they came back and asked Zhang Ning to come back, bring her mother-in-law and child over, and eat together.
While waiting for the food, He Tiantian took the opportunity to go to the restroom. At the corner, she bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He Tiantian apologized quickly. Actually, it wasn't He Tiantian's fault; it was just a habit to walk on the right.
He Tiantian was walking on the right, and the woman should have been walking on the other side, but the woman opposite her was walking on the left, and they bumped into each other at the corner.
However, after bumping into someone, He Tiantian habitually apologized.
"It's alright," the woman said, straightening her clothes. She looked up, paused for a moment, then looked down again and quickly took a few steps.
He Tiantian was a little curious. She was 100% sure that she didn't know the woman, but at the same time, she was also sure that when the woman saw her, her expression and eyes clearly indicated that she knew her.
He Tiantian turned around and looked at the slightly staggering figure, who seemed to be fleeing in a panic.
He Tiantian was puzzled, but she was in a hurry to go to the toilet and would go check on it later.
He Tiantian felt that the person's back looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Moreover, she even had a strange feeling just now.
But when He Tiantian came out of the bathroom and went to look for the woman again, she didn't see her anymore.
"Hello, did you see a woman with long, curly hair, a little shorter than me, with fair skin, wearing a red dress?" He Tiantian asked the waiter standing at the door.
The waiter thought for a moment and said, "That woman paid her bill and left a few minutes ago."
"Do you remember which way you went?" He Tiantian asked again, not knowing why she kept wanting to get to the bottom of things.
"Turn right when you go out," the waitress replied. She remembered it so clearly because the woman was very fashionable and beautiful.
"Thank you!" He Tiantian said, then pushed open the door and went out.
