Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it
Chapter 247 Clear rejection
China is now in a state of disrepair. Just feeding people is not an easy task. It is even more difficult for these rural areas to develop. It would be best if they could find a way out on their own.
The old man was obviously happy and thought he had found a good way. Obviously, when he helped Chen Xu to get the fish fry, he might have planned to see if it would work.
Now that some achievements have been made, other places with the conditions may not be unable to follow suit. Even if transportation is difficult, it is good to add some meat to people's bowls.
Chen Xu listened silently, nodding in agreement from time to time, without any hope in his heart.
Although it is still about five years before the wind starts to blow, it may not be a good thing to achieve results now.
Although he knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely not tell it out loud, as that would be courting death.
While they were chatting animatedly, Brother Li next to them was a little restless and kept giving the old man looks.
The old man also remembered that there were other things, so he changed the subject.
"Xiao Chen, you're married, and your lover will come to the city. Have you ever thought about having a dual-income family?"
Chen Xu was a little confused. You've made a big turn. In the previous sentence, you were still concerned about national affairs, and in the next sentence you were talking about my wife.
At this point, it would be strange if Chen Xu didn’t know that there was a problem.
Thinking back to the last time Lin Chan said that Director Li probably knew about her martial arts training, Chen Xu had already guessed what the old man was planning.
Chen Xu was a little amused and confused. This was the plan after all this time.
He had never underestimated Lin Chan's martial arts. In that era, martial arts masters were rare, so he could understand the old man's ideas.
But even though he understood it, Chen Xu would definitely not agree.
His wife is only good at fighting, but she is not invulnerable. Chen Xu is very cautious even when he has space, let alone letting Lin Chan take risks.
In order to make their work and life more convenient, he even exposed his space. How could he possibly agree to Lin Chan becoming a public security officer?
"I've thought about this a long time ago. My wife and I did some shopping together in the spring. It's a good match for husband and wife, and it's convenient for us to be together on weekdays."
Chen Xu bluntly asked where Lin Chan was going, obviously not wanting to respond to the old man's words.
Director Li next to him immediately became anxious. The old man praised Lin Chan to the skies. Although most of it was collected information and its authenticity needed to be verified, there was no false reputation.
Many people know that Lin Chan can beat a tiger. Just based on this point, he is definitely not comparable to ordinary masters.
Who doesn't like such a strong man? Director Li is looking forward to seeing him. It would be nice if he could just give him some pointers.
As for the purchasing agent, he felt that Lin Chan was using a cannon to kill a mosquito to do this job.
The old man was obviously thinking more. Chen Xu obviously didn't respond to him, and he probably guessed what he was thinking.
Chen Xu could understand why he didn't want his wife to be a police officer. The police officers nowadays are in extremely dangerous situations. Besides hooligans, they mostly face desperadoes, enemy agents or spies.
Needless to say, it was dangerous. Moreover, Lin Chan was a girl who had always lived in the countryside. She probably had no experience in gunfights. Once a conflict occurred, a bullet could take her life if she was not careful.
It is true that martial arts masters are very powerful, but now is an era where hot weapons are rampant.
The old man sighed. He did have some selfish motives, but more of it was his love for talent.
With a clean background and capable abilities, it is easy for one to be promoted during this period.
Just like the [Two Dragons and One Tiger] who have been following No. 1 for a long time, almost all of them are martial arts masters.
It's not just a matter of being the leader's bodyguard. As long as you don't make any mistakes, your future will almost certainly be smooth sailing.
For example, Long Feihu in "Two Dragons and One Tiger" was awarded the rank of major general.
Although this is not possible for everyone, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
With his help and some old friends, the future is limitless.
Unfortunately, Chen Xu obviously had no such intention.
Even though Director Li next to him said that Lin Chan would usually only serve in a position similar to that of an instructor, Chen Xu still refused.
He didn't believe a word of this. Could it be that when he was short of manpower, he could just let Lin Chan watch?
Chen Xu was determined not to let Lin Chan take the risk, and the old man had no choice.
He actually has a lot of profound truths to say, but having known Chen Xu for so long, it's hard for him to say them out loud.
Given his current status, if he really wanted to bring up the rhetoric of family and country, it would undoubtedly be like forcing, or even forcing.
If he really did that, not only would he not get the person, but he would at least offend a martial arts master, and his friendship with Chen Xu would also come to an end. It was not worth it at all.
It’s better not to mention this matter for now, maybe there will be a chance in the future.
It doesn’t matter what job Lin Chan does now. As long as people are willing to come, he can transfer them over at any time.
Chen Xu was a little depressed. He never thought that Lin Chan would be favored by the old man.
If this happened to someone else, they might think it was an opportunity, but for Chen Xu, who had foresight, it was a complete trap.
He himself had no intention of climbing up, let alone expecting Lin Chan to climb up. He still had some idea of what the next few decades would be like.
These administrative agencies, large and small, are difficult to deal with, but the working class is hardly affected.
He and Lin Chan both came from good families. They were all poor farmers for generations. They were not blocking anyone's way. Even if the wind blew hard, no one would be bored enough to cause trouble for him.
The current situation has always been what Chen Xu deliberately maintained and hoped to see. Power and status have never been what he pursued.
Moreover, Lin Chan's character is too straightforward and he is not suitable for officialdom. He cannot understand the twists and turns of officialdom, not to mention that he has never met Lin Chan. No matter how he looks at it, he is not a good choice.
The old man took the initiative to change the subject and talked about some common and interesting things.
Chen Xu did not stay here for long. He declined the old man's invitation to have a simple meal at home on the grounds that he had to go back to be with his newlywed wife.
Director Li, who had escorted him out, kept sighing, but Chen Xu pretended not to hear. It was true that the old man had done him a favor and Director Li had a good relationship with him, but that was not enough to let him and Lin Chan get involved.
Seeing that nothing could be done for the time being, Director Li still said some polite words before leaving.
"Xiao Chen, don't think too much. My father is just happy to see the prey..."
"Don't worry, Brother Li. I know this, but I'm really not interested in this. I'm sorry to disappoint the old man and Brother Li."
Chen Xu did feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face.
No matter who knows that the other person has been secretly paying attention to the person closest to him or her, the feeling will not be very good.
Even though this may be beneficial to Lin Chan, the risks involved are what Chen Xu is worried about. The old man's generation may think it is worthwhile, but Chen Xu obviously thinks differently from most people of this era.
He is more selfish and doesn't want to take any risk at all.
In this era, it is really possible that if you take a wrong step now, you will be doomed to failure in the future. He would rather proceed steadily and not create unnecessary trouble.
Many bigwigs could hardly protect themselves during that period.
As long as there is space, his future is almost foreseeable. Taking risks is something only barefoot people do. Chen Xu, who wears shoes, naturally doesn't want to do it, not even his woman.
