She always looked at him with adoration.
He succumbed.
But now he realizes that he seems to be a joke.
A joke that no one can respect.
When he decided to take action against Wang Shouren and put it into practice, none of the powerful and influential people responded. Even his former drinking buddies gradually distanced themselves from him.
He didn't understand, why, why?
His connections and network in Beijing over the years have become a joke.
Why should I?!
He was unconvinced.
His hands clenched even tighter.
the next day.
After instructing the live-in nanny to take good care of the child, he went out.
Today is Sunday, a day off. He sent a message to Qin Tian through someone and waited at the Wang family's private restaurant.
A while later, Qin Tian arrived, dressed neatly.
If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't care, but he really had to meet his ex. He wanted to know what his ex was thinking.
Upon entering the room, Qin Tian was startled.
Xu Jiaguo looked incredibly gloomy, his eyes bloodshot. On the table sat steaming hot food. Without waiting for Qin Tian's signal, he shoveled rice into his mouth and shoveled food into it viciously, as if he hadn't had a proper meal in years.
Upon seeing Qin Tian enter, he put down the rice in his hand and let out a satisfied burp.
This made Qin Tian frown.
However, he didn't say anything. He sat down, picked up his chopsticks, picked up some peanuts from the table, and started eating. He liked this kind of food.
He occasionally comes to the Wang family's private kitchen. This place is good at making Shandong cuisine, but the dishes from other places are not quite as good.
"Director Xu, what brings you here today?"
“Aren’t any of you with family connections good at meditation? What’s wrong? I haven’t even said anything yet, and you can’t hold back your questions?” Xu Jiaguo’s words were like a dagger, ready to stab.
"Hmph, meditation? That depends on the person. Someone like you, a stray dog, doesn't really need to meditate. I'm just here to watch the show." Qin Tian smiled, as if he were talking about something that didn't concern him.
Xu Jiaguo clenched his fists tightly, then released them, then clenched them again.
Lies never hurt anyone; the truth is the sharpest knife.
"I want to ask, why?" Xu Jiaguo took a long time to compose himself, his eyes bloodshot: "At least, let me die knowing why."
"To die knowing why?" Qin Tian chuckled, then popped another peanut into his mouth. "What don't you understand?"
"Is this how everyone in your family behaves, able to trample on our hard work at will?"
"No, no, no, no." Qin Tian stretched out his index finger and shook it: "I didn't trample on your hard work, it's just that you trampled on your own hard work. Let me put it this way, Wang Shouren, no matter which department he goes to, no matter what different opinions there are in that department, as long as he is in that department, that department will treat him like a treasure. But you, ha."
Having said that, Qin Tian stopped talking.
He thought the Xu family would say something earth-shattering amidst all this pointless charade. Turns out, he completely misunderstood the importance of priorities.
The so-called demotion, more often than not, tests an individual's own judgment.
In simpler terms, it's about whether you can handle responsibility. Even within the same department, there are many different opinions. For example, today the Ministry of Industry says it wants to focus on automobile manufacturing, but there are dissenting voices within the ministry who feel that automobiles are not the right thing to do yet. They think we should hold off and save money to develop other industries first.
There's no right or wrong here; it's simply a matter of different perceptions of the current situation. Different perceptions lead to different opinions. This is what's known as "political views." Differences in political views are very common, but there's a fundamental principle at play: your own thinking cannot be flawed.
You might argue that you don't support the automotive industry because not many people in China can afford cars right now. However, you can't argue that you don't want to get involved in the automotive industry because of your personal interests. That's fundamentally flawed.
Xu Jiaguo, on the other hand, had a fundamental problem.
His attempt to attract foreign investment to the motorcycle factory was a terrible move from the start.
Because the motorcycle factory was doing very well, paying a lot of taxes every year, and its sales were increasing year after year. If you were to take over out of nowhere, you'd inevitably be accused of reaping the benefits.
Even if those above know what you're trying to do, the accusation of reaping the rewards is unavoidable. This accusation will be seen by those below and become a perception. Then, you'll lose most of your foundation as a leader. From then on, everyone will be afraid of you reaping the rewards and unwilling to work. What will you do then?
If that were all, then so be it.
The key issue is that this guy can't handle things.
If you had driven Wang Shouren away, and the motorcycle factory had thrived even more than before, no one would have said anything. After all, the issue could have been framed as "reaping the rewards," and transformed into "you thought he was incompetent, so you took over." This could have been attributed to a difference in political views. But now that you've ousted him, things are getting worse every day, and the factory is clearly on the verge of collapse.
What does this show? It shows that you lack the ability to coordinate and manage. You just act on a whim. This is only a motorcycle factory. If you expand to a township, a county, or a city, and you manage things like this, won't people starve to death?
Xu Jiaguo's actions have essentially ruined his own path, cutting it off completely.
He's still in his position only because Li Weiguo is sentimental about the past.
In Qin Tian's view, Xu Jiaguo's jealousy was foolish.
He knew better than anyone what Wang Shouren had sacrificed to reach this position.
Indeed, many people stepped down during those ten years, but after 1976, those who wanted to make a difference returned to their original positions. Wang Shouren's position as chief secretary wasn't based on luck or flattery, but on his hard work, going from factory to factory. He won over the hearts and minds of each factory he visited before taking the position.
There's more to this than just technology.
Many factories won't willingly change according to your wishes just because you say so.
Once you go down there, you'll see all sorts of monsters and demons.
But this person managed to win everyone's respect. As his father would say, even without this whole charade, his future was limitless.
