Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Ye Huai's words made Ye Siqi fall deeply into thought.

When he was in his 20s, he was still a dandy in the capital who did not do his job properly and only engaged in socializing with friends and having a good time.

At that time, relying on his grandfather Ye Huai's respected status as the founding father of the country, almost no one refused to give him face, and he was in the spotlight for a while.

He even formed the Capital F4 with three dudes from three other families, and was nicknamed the "Four Young Masters of the Capital" by the meddlesome people.

Except for his grandfather who beat him up from time to time because he was not doing his job properly, he was really not afraid of anyone at that time!

Fortunately, although he is playful, he also has his own bottom line and will not do anything to bully others or harm the people.

If it weren't for this reason, he would probably have been expelled from his home even if he hadn't been beaten to death by the selfless Ye Huai. Then there would be no Ye Siqi, the current county party secretary.

Ye Siqi changed when he was 26 years old.

That year, he met a beautiful girl who was still in college, Yin Lanxin, who was six years younger than him.

Yin Lanxin is delicate and graceful, with a mature intellectual beauty that is very similar to Ye Siqi's mother. Although she is only 20 years old, Ye Siqi, who lost his father when he was young, feels like his mother in her.

Young Master Ye Siqi, who has always been surrounded by thousands of flowers without a leaf touching his body, experienced true love for the first time, and he changed his mind and started a new life.

When Yin Lanxin decided to go to the mountainous area to support education, Ye Siqi also resolutely gave up the comfortable life in the capital and accompanied Yin Lanxin to the poor mountain village in the southwest of the motherland.

And it lasted a whole year.

During this year, Ye Siqi saw for the first time what real poverty is, and understood what it means that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!

Have you ever seen water leaking in the classroom on a rainy day, and the children in the mountainous areas are listening carefully while using washbasins to collect water?

Have you ever seen a family of three children, but only one set of clothes full of patches? The older one wears the younger one?

Have you ever seen a child as young as seven who has to walk more than ten kilometers on a mountain road to go to school every day, and also helps his family herd cattle and carry firewood after school?

……

And Ye Siqi has not only seen all this, but also experienced it personally for a whole year!

Deep in the mountains where there is no electricity, there are still so many people who have never walked out of the mountains in their lives. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

They have never watched TV, never ridden in a car, train or plane, and don’t even know what a telephone is.

There are even many people who have never worn shoes in their lives!

The capital and many coastal cities where Ye Siqi grew up were already full of buildings and feasting, and the people there were in suits and leather shoes and were well-mannered.

We are all members of the people, so why is there such a big gap in living standards?

The state allocates so much poverty alleviation funds every year, but where does the money go?

Ye Siqi, who had lived in fine clothes since childhood, fell deeply into thought...

When Ye Siqi and Yin Lanxin returned to the capital after one year of teaching, Ye Huai was pleasantly surprised to find that his grandson had undergone a transformation:

Not only did he become darker and thinner, but he also became more mature and stable. Not only did he no longer hang out with those gang of friends, he also took the initiative to tell Ye Huai that he didn't want to continue playing and wanted to become an official!

Mr. Ye, who was originally resentful because Ye Siqi's father, Ye Sansi, chose to go into business, after hearing Ye Siqi's words, he was so happy that he almost burst into tears on the spot...

After that day, Ye Siqi transformed into a staff member of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Because he studied abroad and obtained a doctoral diploma in his early years, he started at the full-level major.

Today, five years later, he is already the youngest deputy director of the Regional Revitalization Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, a proper deputy department-level cadre.

Originally, his promotion direction should have been to become a director, but his grandfather Ye Huai made the decision at this time to let him work as the county party committee secretary in Shan'an County, a subsidiary of Qincheng City, the capital city of Qin Province.

The county party committee secretaries in Shan'an County are at the senior level, but many county party committee secretaries in large populous counties are often assigned to the deputy department level, which is not an insult to Ye Siqi.

What's more, Shan'an County will be upgraded to Shan'an District in a year's time. It is already a certainty, and Ye Siqi has been on the right track in the past.

Ye Huai's decision actually suited Ye Siqi, who was determined to devote his life to the country's poverty alleviation work.

Although the Regional Revitalization Department of the National Development and Reform Commission is also responsible for revitalizing poverty-stricken areas and coordinating poverty alleviation, how can it be as direct and satisfying as being in charge of the government and directly helping the poor?

The political sense developed through five years of working in ministries also allowed Ye Siqi to see a small part of Ye Huai's thoughts:

That is the Zhang family, a political family that has been entrenched in Qin Province for decades and has run Qin Province like an iron barrel.

Ye Siqi's previous unfavorable experience in the dandy circles of Beijing has always believed that the so-called political struggle is nothing more than a process of harmony but differences, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and ultimately good for you, me, and everyone.

It won't be so bad that the bayonet will see red, and no one will dare to attack a "noble man" like him.

But after hearing what his grandfather said, Ye Siqi was horrified and finally realized how naive and ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

If it hadn't been for my grandfather's reminder, I would have died without knowing how I would have gone to Qin Province!

Thinking of this, Ye Siqi nodded heavily and said:

"Grandpa, I understand!"

Ye Huai asked again:

"Now that you understand, do you still dare to go?"

Ye Siqi straightened his spine and said with extremely firm eyes:

"I dare! Not only do I dare, I also want to fight my way through Qin Province and give the people there a bright future!"

At this moment, Ye Siqi felt that his blood was surging wildly in his body, and for the first time he truly experienced the heroic spirit of the revolutionary martyrs who "came out of the mountains with thousands of hammers and were burned by fire"!

Looking at his passionate and impassioned grandson, Ye Huai was finally moved.

He couldn't help but stretched out his skinny hand, touched the top of Ye Siqi's head, and said with emotion:

"Okay, that's great! My little grandson Siqi has finally grown up! It seems that I really have to thank my granddaughter-in-law Lan Xin. Without her, you would probably still be fooling around!"

Hearing his grandfather mention his wife, Ye Siqi showed a happy smile on his face and said softly with gratitude:

"Yes, I also want to thank her. She is the most beautiful and kind-hearted woman I have ever seen!"

Ye Huai smiled happily, took back his hand, and said lightly:

"Today is the last time that grandpa treats you as a child. From now on, you will be the official who is in charge of the government and petitions for the people. I hope you can keep in mind your identity and mission as a communist and a public servant of the people, and be a true A good official!"
