Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Mr. Gu's question made Xia Shuo think deeply.

The questions raised by such a high-level person are definitely not simple, they must be far-reaching and contain political wisdom.

So Xia Shuo didn't dare to answer casually, he had to think everything through.

After quite a while, he managed to figure out something, so he tentatively replied: "Grandpa, are you talking about a factional fight?"

Mr. Gu nodded, but then shook his head. As if as a reminder, he said lightly: "There are no factions in the party, and the higher you go up, the more unified you become. Therefore, your answer is not accurate."

"People like us have achieved fame and status, have endured all hardships, and have enjoyed all respect and glory."

"Even if you sit at home and don't fight or grab, you will still get the treatment you deserve. In this case, why should there be factional disputes."

Xia Shuo hesitated for a moment and said again: "Then it's a battle of ideas."

This time, Mr. Gu nodded happily.

"Xiaoxia, you are pretty good. Among the third generation of the family, you are the only one who can answer accurately."

"Yes, it is indeed a battle of ideas."

"When the official position reaches a certain level, everyone has their own governance philosophy. And everyone's philosophy is very stubborn and basically will not be persuaded by others."

"In other words, if you don't have this kind of personality, you won't be able to reach this height."

"Those who have been able to achieve great things since ancient times have always had a tough mind, a mind of their own, and a unique idea of ​​their own."

"At a height like ours, our vision is no longer limited to one province and one city, but rather to the whole country, and we must consider the international community."

"Xiaoxia, let me tell you the truth!"

"This sentence is not about singing a high-key tone, nor is it about self-promotion. People who have reached such a height as us pay more attention to leaving a name in history..."

"Do you believe this statement?"

Xia Shuo nodded quickly and said sincerely: "I believe it! Because there is no such thing as pursuing a height like yours."

He listened for a moment and then added: "For example, in terms of salary, money is meaningless to you. Even if you retire from your job, the country will still provide you with the highest standard of treatment."

"In terms of daily life, health doctors are always keeping an eye on you."

"There are dedicated chefs and guards for food, clothing and daily necessities."

"No matter in any aspect, you are not lacking in height."

"So I believe what you just said. What you focus on is leaving a name in history..."

After listening to this with a face full of relief, Mr. Gu reached out and patted Xia Shuo on the shoulder, saying with emotion: "What a pity. Why are you just a grandson-in-law? It would be great if you were a biological grandson."

Xia Shuo hurriedly spoke, joking with a smile, and said: "I respect you as much as my own grandson, isn't it just like my own grandson?"

Mr. Gu thought for a while, then laughed and said, "That's right, old man, I am stuck in a blind spot. My grandson-in-law is also my grandson. Xiaoxia, you are my junior after all."

The old man paused and continued the topic. He obviously wanted to teach Xia Shuo, so he spoke in detail.

For someone with a height like the old man, he usually doesn't speak in such detail. Most of his words are just to the point, leaving suspense for people to ponder.

As for whether the people below can figure it out, it depends on their personal understanding and destiny.

Only for Xia Shuo, his teachings were meticulous.

Not only is it detailed, but it's also analytical.

"If you want to leave a name in history, you must benefit the people, the people, the common people!"

"Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, said that water can carry or capsize a boat. When the official position reaches the level of grandpa, he is actually no different from the emperor in ancient times. Therefore, what we have to do is the same as the emperor."

“That’s called governance.”

"We formulate national policies."

"The people's livelihood is in our hands."

"If you want to support the development of any place, just provide policies to support it. For example, Guangyue and Shenzhen are currently very prosperous. Isn't that the boost of various welfare policies?"

"But Xiaoxia, you have to understand that people's minds are complicated. Biological genes determine human nature. Everyone has a self from birth."

"As this self grows older, and with the events and changes experienced, each person will develop his or her own concept, and this concept will affect the person's behavior style."

When Mr. Gu said this, he motioned to Xia Shuo to refill his teacup.

Xia Shuo was stunned, looking at the full cup in amazement, and couldn't help but said in confusion: "Grandpa, you didn't take a sip, the cup is full."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu shook his head and said seriously: "It's cold, change it."

Xia Shuo then understood and quickly obeyed.

When he refilled the cup with steaming hot water, Mr. Gu suddenly spoke and said meaningfully: "Do you understand, this is my style, grandpa."

"Be rigorous and meticulous in your treatment of people and affairs. You can't get rid of any dirt in your eyes and always do things in a precise and precise manner."

"Correspondingly, let me tell you about an acquaintance!"

"Old Sun, you know that old guy very well. He has a carefree personality. He keeps talking about things all day long and doesn't touch his parents. He looks like a bandit."

"So, that's Lao Sun's style."

"The two of us have completely opposite styles. The reason is that our personalities are different. Grandpa just told you that personality means philosophy. Now do you understand? This is irreconcilable."

Xia Shuo couldn't help but nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, it is indeed irreconcilable. Grandpa Sun smiles playfully all day long, like a naughty old child."

"He does things very carelessly and doesn't care about the details."

"He didn't even care about face. Such a high-ranking person actually quarreled with a big yellow dog. When I witnessed that scene, I was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover."

Mr. Gu snorted and said, "You crazy old guy, you can't change your bad habits in your lifetime."

Xia Shuo couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, you are not the same, no matter how you deal with people or things, you always have a straight face. I remember when I came to see you for the first time, you didn't give me even a single word during the whole process. Smile."

Mr. Gu was quite approving. He looked at Xia Shuo and said, "This is the difference that grandpa just said."

Xia Shuo said: "Yes, you are rigorous, and Grandpa Sun is rough. I think the other leaders also have different personalities. Since their personalities are different, their work styles must also be different. Is this what you taught me? Politicians have different ideas. different……"

Mr. Gu nodded and said, "That's it."

The old man admired Xia Shuo more and more, so he moved the topic forward a lot, stopped teaching these small things, and started talking about big things.

"Due to different governance philosophies and everyone is very stubborn, it is inevitable that there will be disputes."

"The dispute has been going on for a long time, and the differences have become more and more serious. Gradually, they have risen to the level of line."

"Xiaoxia, you are my biological son-in-law, there is no outsider, so I will tell you some top secrets."

"When the reform and opening up began, there was a lot of noise at our level."

"Some people believe that the old line must be firmly followed. If the country's economy is liberalized, it will inevitably be impacted by capitalism. By then, people will be blinded by money and will inevitably lose their loyalty and honesty."

"But other people believe that economic development is a historical necessity. The country is so poor and the people do not have enough to eat. If we resort to seclusion because we are worried about the impact of capitalism, then it is a waste of food."

"You know, this dispute lasted for two full years."

"No one can convince anyone, because the line concept cannot be compromised."

Listening to these past events, Xia Shuo aroused deep curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What happened in the end? The reformist faction obviously won. My grandson, I want to ask, what happened to the conservative faction?"

I saw Mr. Gu sighing deeply, and his tone seemed to be full of helplessness, and said: "There are a few old men who have gone home to take care of themselves. This is the end of their failure."

Xia Shuo's heart skipped a beat and his scalp felt numb.

He looked at the old man carefully, his heart pounding constantly. It took a long time before he dared to speak cautiously and asked: "Grandpa, when did you..."

Mr. Gu nodded slowly and said calmly: "Yes, I am a conservative. Due to my rigorous and meticulous personality, my cautious philosophy was determined, so I was an opponent at the beginning."

When the old man said this, his eyes flickered intriguingly, and he looked at Xia Shuo and said, "Now you understand, grandpa, why I am worried. Once you get married to Mingyue, you will have my mark on you."

"Even if you are an economic general, in their eyes you are Mr. Gu's grandson-in-law."

"At our level, if we look at the country and there are so many talented people, we can use anyone. Why should we use people from the families of our political opponents, right?"

I have to say that the old man really spoke sincerely to Xia Shuo.

These words are concerned about Xia Shuo's future.

However, Xia Shuo felt relaxed.

He looked at the old man with a smile and said: "Grandpa, I think your worries are unnecessary. In my current situation, how can I win the attention of the upper class?"

"What you are worried about is nothing more than that I will be suppressed."

"But look, I'm living a good life now."

"Since I started working, I have been promoted at a rapid pace. I am only 23 years old this year and I am already at the deputy county level. This is not a situation where I am being suppressed. In the eyes of outsiders, I am simply rising through the ranks."

"So, Grandpa, I think about it myself, your worries are pointless."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu's face was gloomy, his tone was obviously reprimanding, and he solemnly said: "Where are you? There is no need to take action below the ministerial level. But if you reach the ministerial level and want to go up, you will find resistance. The big one makes you despair.”

"That's when you regret marrying Mingyue."

In response to the old man's reprimand, Xia Shuo smiled more and more relaxedly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Don't worry, grandpa, I promise I won't regret it."

"Minister level? Still higher?"

"Grandpa, you really think highly of me!"
