Qin Sheng admired Mr. Ding because Mr. Ding looked at problems from a different height. Just like in those days, he did not only look at the development of the Chang 'an System from the standpoint of the Chang' an System. Instead, he focused on the process of history and the development of the times to formulate the development of the Chang 'an System.
As Mr. Ding always said, the development of a person or a family or a company could not be achieved only by the efforts of a few people. The fate of more countries and the process of history were closely related.
Just like the saying that everyone was familiar with, when the wind blew, even a pig could fly.
This was also what the old professor had said. The foundation of economics was political economy.
Moreover, Mr. Ding used to be in the system, and he had always been close to the big shots in the system. Those peers who were high-spirited with him in the past were now high-ranking officials of the frontier provinces, and they were also policy-makers and executors.
Policy was the most important thing. Any policy could affect the fate of thousands of people and enterprises. No matter which company it was, it needed to pay close attention to the trend of the policy. And Mr. Ding knew this better.
Therefore, Mr. Ding could understand more practical and far-reaching things. Unlike many people who had resources and connections, even if they got the news, they could not see more long-term things.
This was also the reason why Qin Sheng came to Mr. Ding.
Now, Mr. Ding really saw things that others could not see. However, Mr. Ding seemed to be unwilling to talk about these things, which made Qin Sheng a little confused.
Qin Sheng frowned and said, "Uncle Ding, you'd better speak frankly." Especially when Mr. Ding said that he had already known this result, Qin Sheng could not help but feel a little worried.
Mr. Ding was a little hesitant. He was afraid that something would hit Qin Sheng. It was like you had worked hard for something for a long time and finally found that you could do nothing about it. And the person involved had already known the result and accepted it calmly.
Seeing that Mr. Ding wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, Qin Sheng continued to ask, "Uncle Ding, just say it. No matter what it is, I can accept it."
Mr. Ding let out a long sigh and said, "In this case, I will say it. As for whether it is true or not, you may know after you meet him."
Qin Sheng nodded silently. He was also mentally prepared.
Mr. Ding poured a cup of tea for Qin Sheng, picked up a piece of fruit, and said while eating, "I mean, your father has seen through everything long ago. It should be after the accident in Chang 'an, he struggled for a long time and figured out the mystery behind it. Then he took the initiative to give up the control and let the Qin Family get out of it unscathed. In the end, he sacrificed himself."
"If not, I really don't understand why your father gave up the Chang 'an Department so easily. Your father collapsed just like that? Other people might think that your father isn't as powerful as they thought after this incident, but I don't think so. Others might not know how your father got through all these years, and how many people he interacted with, etc., but I know very well. If your father really wanted to fight with them, the result might not be certain, "Mr. Ding said slowly. These were all the findings he had just made after reviewing all the matches.
Qin Sheng was not surprised after hearing that. He said in a low voice, "Uncle Ding, I know what you said. This is also our speculation. What I want to know now is, why did Fourth Master say so?"
Indeed, what Mr. Ding said was what the Qin Family had guessed long ago. Qin Sheng had also verified it with the old man at that time.
Mr. Ding stood up again, looked into the distance, and said, "This is the cause. What I want to say next is what happened later. That is, your father already knew who the opponent was, knew what kind of pressure he would face, and was very clear about what kind of role he was playing in it, and calmly played this role. Maybe the Fourth Master didn't understand this until later, so he said these words."
"What do you mean? Uncle Ding, explain it clearly. "Qin Sheng became more and more confused.
Who on earth was his opponent?
What on earth did Fourth Master understand?
Mr. Ding said very seriously, "As I said at the beginning, what the Chang 'an Department touched was not the interests of any person or family, but the bottom line of the country. That's why the Chang' an Department was destroyed. I thought that your father didn't understand it before. Now it seems that I am confused. Your father understood it long ago, so he easily let it go. Continue from here, you can understand who your father's real opponent is. So he didn't have the strength to fight back, so he calmly let it go. "
"Do you know that killing a chicken to warn the monkey? Your father is the monkey, and he is willing to be the monkey. Or in other words, your father is the bait, and he is willing to be the bait. Those tycoons just want to see how many fish will be hooked. Unfortunately, Fourth Master is one of the baits, or the Qin Family is also one of the baits. "Mr. Ding said with a chill on his back. This was a very big game of chess, and the person who set this game was not one person at all. It could be said that Qin Changan was also one of the chess players, and he was one of the chess pieces.
Not only Mr. Ding felt a chill on his back, but Qin Sheng also broke into a cold sweat after hearing this.
At this time, he already knew what Mr. Ding wanted to say, but he didn't point it out. But no matter how stupid Qin Sheng was, he also understood.
Mr. Ding, who had always been gentle and elegant, stared at Qin Sheng and said, "That's why I said that your father knew his result from the very beginning. No matter how much pressure Fourth Master or other parties put on him, this result could not be changed at all. That is to say, no matter how hard we tried, this result could not be changed. Now, do you understand what I mean?"
How could Qin Sheng not understand at this time?
He suddenly thought of what the Old Man said to him when he went to see the Old Man for the first time. It seemed that the Old Man had been very clear at that time, and more clearly, he knew that it was impossible for Qin Sheng to not make trouble, so he didn't try to persuade him.
Qin Sheng said with some relief, "I understand, Uncle Ding."
Mr. Ding patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and comforted him. "Maybe I guessed wrong. When you see him, you will know the truth."
"Okay." Qin Sheng nodded silently.
So he didn't disturb Mr. Ding anymore, and quietly left Mr. Ding's siheyuan.
After leaving Mr. Ding's siheyuan, Qin Sheng called his Eldest Uncle, Qin Changxing. He directly told his Eldest Uncle that he wanted to see the Old Man tomorrow morning and see if he could find a way to arrange it. However, he didn't tell him what he talked about with Mr. Ding.
Qin Changxing didn't think much of it. He thought that Qin Sheng just wanted to see his father. After all, they didn't allow him to see his father before.
In the evening, Qin Sheng accompanied the Old Master and Song Ruyu's parents to have dinner in the Song Family's siheyuan. Except for them, there was no one else. It seemed that Song Hesheng no longer interfered in the affairs between Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu. Besides, he was also busy with his official career.
Qin Sheng had gradually adapted to his role in the Song Family. At least in the eyes of the Song Family, they were still in love with each other. After all, the Song Family knew Song Ruyu well. She was a girl who seldom expressed her feelings. They could only see it in specific things.
For example, when they were having dinner, Song Ruyu kept putting food into Qin Sheng's bowl, which were also Qin Sheng's favorite food.
During dinner, they talked about marriage. Song Ruyu's parents told them not to worry about anything and to do whatever they needed to do. They said that they would inform them in advance when they needed to do something.
Although marriage sounded like a very important thing, and there might be a lot of complicated things, for a family like theirs, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu didn't need to worry too much.
After dinner, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu saw their parents off and went back to the No.1 Courtyard in Diaoyutai.
On the way back, Song Ruyu told Qin Sheng that she had informed him in advance that her teacher wanted to meet Qin Sheng. The specific time had been set, which was around the next weekend. She asked Qin Sheng to be prepared in advance.
Qin Sheng was already prepared. After all, it would happen sooner or later. Song Ruyu's teacher wanted to meet him because he wanted to know more about him and check on Song Ruyu's background. There would be no other reason.
Qin Sheng admired Song Ruyu very much. She was a big shot that he had to look up to. He was looking forward to the meeting. Maybe he could learn more from her.
After all, she was a big shot who had reached the top of the pyramid.
If it had been in the past, Qin Sheng might have been very nervous to meet such a big shot. But now, he had been used to such big shots, so he was very calm.
"Your teacher wants to meet me. How dare I refuse? Shall we go together? "Qin Sheng said half-jokingly.
Song Ruyu said lightly, "He wants to meet you alone. I won't go. He will send a car to pick you up."
This news surprised Qin Sheng. He had thought that Song Ruyu would go with him, but he didn't expect that she would only see him. Was there a deeper meaning?
Maybe he was thinking too much.
If Song Ruyu went with him, she might not be able to ask him some questions. Anyway, he would be familiar with her sooner or later. It was okay to meet her alone now.
Lying on the bed at night, Qin Sheng was still thinking about what Mr. Ding had said today. It seemed to have opened his eyes again, letting Qin Sheng see clearly the truth behind the fog, and more and more aware of what he should do in the future.
Although it was such a simple thing, Qin Sheng connected many things together and the more he thought about it, the more thorough he became.
He understood and was afraid.
But he was glad that at least he would take fewer detours in the future.
Seeing Qin Sheng in a daze, Song Ruyu frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Sheng came to his senses and said, "Nothing. I'm going to meet the old man tomorrow. I'm thinking about what to talk to him about."
"You want to meet Uncle Qin?" Song Ruyu asked in surprise.
Qin Sheng nodded slightly.
Song Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Do you need me to go with you?"
Song Ruyu hadn't seen her future father-in-law for a long time. The last time they met was a few years ago. At least, they hadn't seen each other since she confirmed her relationship with Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng thought about it and said, "No, I'll see you next time."
Since Qin Sheng said so, Song Ruyu didn't say anything more.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Qin Sheng went out after breakfast.
