Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui heard the old man say that the work unit he was assigned to work in was actually the State Council Office.

Of course he knew about the State Council Office, but he had never heard of the position of "Special Envoy".

What is it for? He couldn't help but feel doubtful.

The State Council Office is an important department, and ordinary people cannot get in. Back then, Mr. Wu used his connections to help Wu Pingtao get a job in the State Council Office.

As long as he graduates from college, he can go to work.

But a lot of things happened later, and Mr. Wu found out that his grandson had become unfaithful, so he gave up the hotel. Only then did Wu Pingtao give up the job and go to Pengcheng.

He is now completely different from Wu Pingtao who had just graduated from university back then. How could it be possible that he was asked to work here after all the twists and turns?

"Dad, the State Council Office is an important department, and letting me go there shows how much the leaders value me.

But what kind of job is a special envoy? How come I have never heard of it?

Do you want me to start from scratch there?"

It’s not that he was dissatisfied with this arrangement. After all, to be able to work in such an organization is something that many officials have dreamed of all their lives.

Ye Tianshui was not worried about starting from scratch in this department. After all, he had only worked formally in the Central Advisory Commission for a few months after graduating from university.

No matter how great his achievements in the business world are, their qualifications are not the same as those in the officialdom.

Since the old man came to talk to him formally, it means Ye Tingfeng agreed. Anyway, the old man would not harm him.

Ye Tianshui was just confused because Mr. Wu had originally secured a section-level position for Wu Pingtao.

He now holds a real deputy director-level position in the Public Security Department, and Wu Songhao of the National Security Bureau also gave him a deputy director-level position.

Now let’s not talk about what a ‘special envoy’ does. He went to the State Council Office. How was he appointed at this administrative level?

After all, the old man just said that all the ministries and commissions wanted to snatch him away.

Ye Tianshui is not actually a fan of being an official. His current business empire has been quietly established, and it doesn’t really matter whether he is an official or not.

Most domestic businesses are closely related to the government, and whether they can be protected is uncertain.

However, his overseas industries are enough to make Ye Tianshui the richest man in the world.

If he doesn't want to be an official, he can just pack up and take his wife and children to live outside.

Just walk away? Is it really possible?

Ye Tianshui smiled secretly in his heart. Not being an official fan does not mean that he is not prepared to be an official. Moreover, if he wants to be an official, he must be a high-ranking official.

This was something he had decided before he entered Qingdao University. Otherwise, he would not have boldly said "help each other" to Wu Pingtao, Yuan Cheng, and Guo Gan.

A smile flashed across Ye Tingfeng's cold face:

"What do you mean by starting from scratch? If you were to be offered a position based on the salary you receive as a college graduate, you would at most be a section chief.

But aren’t you already a director-level official now?

Do you look down on your father so much? Will he demote you and send you to work in a new unit?"

Ye Tianshui smiled faintly and asked, "Dad, did the State Council Office also give me a director-level position?

Transfer my position in the Public Security Bureau over there?"

There was a question in his eyes: "I really can't figure out what a special envoy does, Dad, how about you explain it to me?

See if I can do it? I can't let you down, can I? "

"Xiao Shui, you are a smart person, don't you understand?

This position of "special envoy" is indeed tailor-made for you. There was no such position in the original State Council Office."

Ye Tingfeng said seriously.

"Tailor-made? For me? Dad, does this 'special commissioner' require me to do something very difficult? Are there any risks?

But I have Zilan and three children to take care of, as well as you and my parents-in-law.

Dad, you have to protect me.

You know, I still have so much money and I want to find a way to let my family enjoy it together."

Ye Tianshui was shocked. While he was making money for himself, he was also doing something for several local governments... some important things.

In other words, he made some contributions to the country's economic development and reform and opening up.

As the higher-ups saw, there was indeed a need for people like him who were useful to society, so Ye Tianshui thought it was reasonable to give him a higher position.

He could accept it without any pressure.

What the old man said before had laid some groundwork, and he understood it, but he never expected that he would be given a position in the State Council Office that was "tailor-made" for him?

This was something he had not expected.

To be honest, the main reason why Ye Tianshui wanted to be a high-ranking official was for power and to have a say when necessary.

Moreover, the risk that needs to be taken is much smaller.

This is not the same as being timid.

He is extremely rich now and does not need to rely on his official position to make money. Adhering to the principle that 'money can make anything go hand in hand', he does the opposite and uses the money to further his own career and the careers of those around him.

Ye Tingfeng was almost amused by Ye Tianshui's startling words:

"You little brat, when did you become so disrespectful?

You are so capable, do you still need my protection? You even mentioned Zilan and the children, aren't they all my children?

Would I let you take risks?

Don’t I want to enjoy happiness with you?”

Ye Tianshui chuckled, then calmed down and said, "Dad, I feel relieved when you said this.

Am I not young and ignorant? I am good at making money in business, but I really don't know much about officialdom.

Okay, now I am all ears, please help me solve my doubts, and I will humbly accept your criticism and guidance in any way you want to teach me."

Ye Tianshui understood clearly that the old man came here to discuss this matter with him today not on behalf of the organization.

We should give him a heads up in advance.

Ye Tingfeng's expression relaxed a little, and his words were filled with the advice of an elder to a younger generation:

"I haven't even finished my words yet and you're already interrupting me.

You can do whatever you want at home, but you must not be careless outside. You are in a high position at a young age. Although you have the ability, you cannot avoid being coveted, feared, or even hated by some people.

Don't give others an opportunity to take advantage of you and make yourself unhappy."

This really confused Ye Tianshui. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have guessed something:

"Dad, please explain clearly, what do you mean by 'holding a high position at a young age'? When did I hold a high position?

Is it the position of the special commissioner? I was originally at the director level, do I need to be promoted if I go to the State Council Office?"

"Hehe, it seems you are not stupid at all? Do you understand?" Ye Tingfeng snorted coldly.

"Please help me solve my doubts!" ​​Ye Tianshui now really wanted to solve my doubts.

Ye Tingfeng looked solemn:

"In addition to tailoring this position for you, the State Council Office has also set up a special department for you called the 'State Council Office Supervision Department', which will be under your leadership.

Your current administrative level is directly promoted to the level of a full-time department head!"

Ye Tianshui's heart couldn't help but tremble:

"Director-general level? Dad, is this true?"
