"Oh? Can you tell me the reason?" Zhang Aimin was not angry, but asked with a smile.
"First, my personality isn't suited to developing within the system. I prefer a free and unfettered life."
"Secondly, it's naturally because of Funiu. You may also know that my parents passed away when I was young. Now that I finally have a younger sister like Funiu, I want to raise her well."
After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Aimin, waiting for his reply.
In fact, Xu Jianguo didn't mention a third point, which was that he was very wary of the "storm" that would sweep across the entire Longxia Kingdom in a few years. He needed a strong enough identity to allow him and Funiu to make a safe transition, but this identity would definitely not be a position within the system.
As we all know, it is difficult for people who work within the system to remain immune, because they need to face the difficult problem of choice at any time and place. If they make the wrong choice, then when the "storm" comes, it is very likely that they and their families will fall into an irretrievable situation.
Xu Jianguo didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble. He would not allow Funiu to be hurt because of her wrong choice.
In fact, he had thought about it countless times in his mind. If he had not found an identity that could protect him and Fu Niu when the "storm" began, then he might choose to take Fu Niu back to Qingyun Temple or find an uninhabited place to live a secluded life for ten years, biding his time and waiting for the dawn.
"Jianguo, I understand your concerns, but I still hope you can seriously consider my suggestions. Don't rush to give me an answer now. When you figure it out, you can come to me anytime."
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that the reason Zhang Aimin had such an idea was entirely because of Mr. Zhou.
The old man discovered Xu Jianguo's talents in mechanical manufacturing and foreign languages, and hoped that he could enter the system and make more contributions to the country. However, he did not want Xu Jianguo to take too big steps, so he had to let Zhang Aimin take him from the grassroots level to lay a solid foundation for his future career.
But what no one expected was that Xu Jianguo actually refused.
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, I will seriously consider your suggestion, and thank you very much for your kindness!"
Zhang Aimin waved his hand and said, "What's the point of flattery? I'm glad you've given it serious consideration. Let's talk about the third thing!"
