Chapter 50 is all about serving the people.
"Think about it, no matter who you are, you are a part of this society and a cog in the great machine of the country."
These screws are at work, tired, shouldn't they take a break?
Okay, let's play a couple of games. Now that I'm in a better mood, I'll be able to focus better on my work, right?
Does that mean the efficiency will be higher?
Think about it now, isn't this also indirectly ensuring the smooth operation of the national machine?
"Isn't this serving the people?" Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu with great confidence.
Lei Jingwu opened his mouth...
If that's the case, it doesn't seem wrong!
“Yao Shula, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. When I go back to Shanghai this time, I will definitely say the same thing to my father.” Lei Jingwu suddenly smiled.
Now it was Yao Shula's turn to be surprised.
She was actually quite curious about Lei Jingwu.
There are also people outside who talk about what kind of family Secretary Lei comes from.
The most common explanation is that Secretary Lei's family has a powerful background, with some members in the military, but most of them are involved in politics.
But Lei Jingwu...
Yao Shula then looked Lei Jingwu up and down again.
He looked to be around 23 or 24 years old, very tall, with a good physique and good looks.
Zhou Ping'an, who lives next door, once said that the two were comrades-in-arms.
But now Lei Jingwu is not wearing a military uniform and can still walk around, which means that he, like Zhou Ping'an, was a soldier, but has now been discharged and returned home.
If someone can travel around everywhere, they probably don't have a proper job.
If you had a proper job, you wouldn't be running around like this. Everyone wants to be proactive and improve themselves!
"Your family doesn't approve of what you're doing now?" Yao Shula suddenly asked.
Lei Jingwu was taken aback at first, then gave Yao Shula a thumbs up.
"You're really smart! You even guessed that!"
So, Lei Jingwu briefly explained his current situation to Yao Shula.
His family had actually made arrangements for him a long time ago, and his father, who was Xiaotian's uncle, had high hopes for him.
It's just a bit of a pity that Lei Jingwu is inherently rebellious and doesn't want to follow the path his father has laid out for him.
Before the college entrance examination was reinstated, Lei Jingwu had a spot at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but he didn't go.
At that time, Lei Jingwu didn't dare to directly confront the adults in his family, so he went straight to join the army.
Lei Jingwu's father thought to himself, "If I don't go to university, I can join the army!"
Then his family urgently planned a path for him to join the army.
Who knew that Lei Jingwu would suddenly return after completing his three-year military service...
This startled everyone in the Lei family.
This is the eldest son of the Lei family, and he will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future.
But now...
Lei Jingwu had no interest in any arrangements made at home; on the contrary, he was more interested in business matters.
When Xiaotian's mother was still alive, Lei Jingwu liked to play with Xiaotian's mother and family.
Xiaotian's mother's family used to be considered well-known capitalists in Shanghai.
It's just that the color is red.
Lei Jingwu liked to take some things from the south to the north to sell.
In the Lei family's view, this was the behavior of a middleman, not something the Lei family should do.
Although the money Lei Jingwu casually made in the past two years is more than many people in the Lei family could earn in a lifetime.
However, the Lei family still opposed what Lei Jingwu was doing.
Except for Mr. Lei.
"So, in your family's eyes... you really are an oddball," Yao Shula said honestly.
“Likewise, look at you, aren’t you an incredible existence in other people’s eyes as well?” Lei Jingwu said with a smile.
Yao Shula chuckled.
This is different.
She was forced into this situation; otherwise, she would have virtually no way out, and this was the only path she could take.
This young master of the Lei family is different.
He has many options; if he can't make it outside, he can always go home and inherit the family fortune.
"What's wrong? Don't you think we're kind of birds of a feather?" Lei Jingwu said with a chuckle.
Yao Shula thought for a moment and made the correction in time.
"I think 'like-minded' would be a more appropriate term."
It sounds better too, don't you think?
Lei Jingwu nodded.
"That's right, I think 'like-minded' would be a more appropriate term."
So, Yao Shula, if you need my help with your stall, let me know as soon as possible.
Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I can come and help you out.
Yao Shula nodded immediately.
"Okay, I've got your word in mind! I'll definitely ask for your help when the time comes!"
"What do you think I'm good at helping you with?" Lei Jingwu asked, getting excited.
“I’ll be your shill!” Yao Shula said without any politeness.
Lei Jingwu...
Afterwards, Yao Shula explained to Lei Jingwu what a "shill" was.
This is a special and secretive profession that has existed from ancient times to the present, in officialdom and in ordinary workplaces...
...
The two talked for a long time and didn't notice how quickly time had passed.
Yao Shuxin, who was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, had already come out to check several times.
I always see my older sister talking to Xiaotian's older brother.
It's best not to disturb them!
My sister must be talking to Xiaotian's brother about something very important.
It wasn't until Yao Shula felt a bit hungry that she reluctantly picked up the now-cold water and drank it.
She was just about to say, "It's getting late, let's have lunch at home!"
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli, who had been having a blast outside, are back.
The two of them were covered in dirt, and their faces were full of excitement.
"Big sister, we've spent all our money. Brother Shuli bought a toy gun, and I bought some firecrackers."
The only problem is that these firecrackers are bad; many of them are duds.
However, we retrieved all the duds.
Also, many people were setting off firecrackers outside today. After they finished, we picked them up from the side and found a lot of duds!
Big sister, look, we've picked up so many.
In a little while, Shuli and I will take out all the gunpowder from the duds.
Then pour them all together and make a big firework…
As Xiaotian spoke, he showed Yao Shula the duds in his and Yao Shuli's pockets.
Yao Shula looked at the half-full pockets of duds in the two people's pockets.
There were also two people with dirty fingers that looked like they had removed a lot of duds, which made her furious.
"Who gave you permission to play with these duds? Don't you know how dangerous it is?" Yao Shula's face immediately darkened.
This startled not only Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian, but also Lei Jingwu.
Why get so angry all of a sudden?! It's the Lunar New Year...
