Wei Changrong wanted to say "no", but when he saw his son's eager expression, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask your fourth grandpa about about diplomacy?" Wei Changrong asked first.
Wei Wenjie's eyes widened, "Father, how did you know I want to ask about diplomacy? Are you sure it's about diplomacy? "
Looking at his son's expression, Wei Changrong was rarely happy. He smiled and said, "When I was your age, I always liked to say 'I want to ask my fourth uncle'. But then I grew up a little, and I no longer said that. "
"Then what did you say?" Wei Wenjie immediately asked about this matter that he felt the same way about.
Looking at his son's impatience, Wei Changrong smiled, "I said at that time, hurry up and have a meeting to discuss."
As soon as he heard about the meeting, Wei Wenjie's enthusiasm immediately subsided. Wei Changrong was a little regretful in his heart. Is it because my son is growing up too slowly that I put forward too high of a demand for him? Young people don't like meetings, mainly because they feel that they don't have the right to speak in the meeting, and the old guys don't listen to what they say. If a cow doesn't drink water, it will easily cause a rebellious mentality among young people. The meeting that was supposed to solve the problem turned to how to tame young people. This has been a big problem for the Organization Department for many years. During times of war, it can be solved with a decisive method, but during times of peace, it is difficult to use this method.
Wei Wenjie paused for a moment and asked, "Father, do you have time? I want to tell you my thoughts. "
"My time is very precious, so I hope that the next discussion is completely related to work," replied Wei Changrong.
Wei Wenjie didn't waste any time, and he told the reason why he wanted to talk to Vézé. After the Romania incident, it could be said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was hit hard. No one thought that Romania, a corner of the Black Sea, would dare to be so unreasonable to China.
Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. When Vézé first issued direct orders to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these orders did not seem to solve the problem. However, the Romania incident itself changed again and again. In the end, Russia officially invited the Chinese Navy to visit St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was immediately informed, and the major European countries were shocked. The powerful Chinese Navy visited Europe and even visited Russia, which had caused a violent reaction over the Romanian issue. What kind of result would this lead to? The major European countries were making wild guesses.
"Just from the results alone, Fourth Master has completely grasped the sequence of events. I just want to ask Fourth Grandpa, if there is such a meridian, what does he think of this meridian? "Wei Wenjie concluded.
These thoughts were all experienced by Wei Changrong. He did not mention the issue of diplomacy, but instead talked about his own experience.
Back then, when Wei Changrong followed Vézé to conquer the world, the predecessor of the Restoration Party was the General Staff Headquarters. The General Staff Headquarters was completely different from the staff groups of the old era. The staff of the old era was built on personal qualifications, while the General Staff Headquarters was built on a scientific foundation.
When China's society progressed to such a stage, the Party had some understanding of science. Therefore, the Party's faith in their leader, Vézé, increased. Because Vézé was not only everyone's leader, but also everyone's teacher, everyone's guide. Vézé pointed out the direction and method to solve the problem. This direction and method allowed those old fellows to continue to move forward step by step to where they were today.
Hearing that his father was also like this, Wei Wenjie became excited again. However, Wei Changrong poured a bucket of cold water on his head. "I have to criticize you first, your attitude is wrong! You are a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you should have a sense of belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself. Now, when you encounter a problem, you don't say that you seriously discuss it with your comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and unite with them. Instead, you think about how you can find a path on your own. What do you think your goal is in finding this path? Isn't it because you want to use this path to increase your personal status and influence? I can say that this idea of yours is already very dangerous. If you continue like this, something bad will happen! "
Wei Wenjie never expected his father to say such alarmist words. He also knew that his father never relied on scaring people to persuade and educate them. In Wei Wenjie's life experience, he had suffered a lot when he didn't listen to his father's words.
"Father, what should I do?" Wei Wenjie hurriedly asked.
Wei Changrong felt very regretful in his heart. His son's qualifications were average, and Wei Changrong hoped that his son would be able to move forward with the group and not fall behind. However, this child came from an incredible family, at least in the eyes of outsiders. In Wei Changrong's view, his son Wei Wenjie had never been able to find himself.
"Wenjie, do you think your fourth grandpa is very great?" Wei Changrong patiently explained the basic principles to his son. It must be said that if an ordinary cadre was like his son, he would at least be removed from the position of a key candidate to be trained. However, his son was his own flesh and blood after all. Wei Changrong had to admit that he was not as heartless as Wei Ze, who had sent Wei Rui, whom everyone thought highly of, to the army to change his name and let him struggle on his own. Since he kept his son by his side, as a father, he had to educate his son.
"I think my fourth grandpa is very great," Wei Wenjie said in his heart. If he said this in the past, it would just be the respect and envy of a young man towards a respected elder. However, the Romania incident had taken a turn for the worse, and Wei Wenjie was really convinced.
"Then I have to say, do you think your fourth grandpa thinks he is very great?" Wei Changrong said what he wanted to say the most. Whether a person could have a future and find himself or not, this was the key.
Wei Wenjie replied with some dissatisfaction, "Father, you said before that you can't use other people's evaluation of you as the standard for what you do. I'm very clear about this. "
"You might know this principle, but have you thought about something else? You're from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you ask your Foreign Minister Li Xin these questions, then you're asking the right person. Ask your fourth grandpa, what does that mean? Even if your fourth grandpa didn't understand it and explained it to you. Then, where are you going to put Foreign Minister Li Xin? You're a section-level cadre. What are you going to do if you don't unite with the ministerial-level cadre? "Wei Changrong tried to use a calm tone to explain the serious nature of the problem.
Wei Wenjie was also a smart kid. After listening to his father's words, he was really scared.
Wei Changrong sighed as he looked at his son's silent expression. "From the looks of it, I guess you've already gotten yourself into trouble with Li Xin. That's why you're trying to make yourself more correct. If there's a problem in the future, do you think you have the capital to fight against Li Xin? Let me tell you, you've mixed things up. When we judge the relationship between superiors and subordinates, it doesn't matter if the understanding of a certain problem is correct or not. Our organization department looks at whether a person's role in the organization's construction is positive or negative. No matter how correct your view of the specific problem is, as long as our judgment is that you affect the good operation of the organization and have no positive effect on the construction of the organization, then the one who will leave will be you, not Li Xin. "
Wei Wenjie felt that his father's attitude was exactly the same as the previous times when Wei Wenjie ran into a wall and fell down. Those times, Wei Wenjie didn't know what was good for him. This time, he didn't want to be like the previous times. Subconsciously sitting up straight, Wei Wenjie quickly said, "Father, I think someone has been targeting me recently."
"Targeting you? Tell me about it. "Wei Changrong felt that if his son could tell the truth, there would probably be a solution to this matter.
A few days after the conversation, Wei Changrong invited Foreign Minister Li Xin to dinner. Everyone knew that the purpose of these high-level people eating was not to eat. Therefore, they filled their stomachs a little and didn't starve. Li Xin asked, "Minister Wei, do you have any instructions?"
Wei Changrong smiled and said, "No instructions. My son is young. Young people today are different from us. They first learn the principles, then experience things. Therefore, they don't understand the basic principles of doing things. Young people also like to think nonsense. He must have caused you a lot of trouble under your command. "
These words were obviously referring to something. Li Xin squinted his eyes and waited for the person in charge of human resources to continue.
Wei Changrong didn't hide it. He first asked Li Xin if Wei Wenjie suggested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask Vézé about diplomatic theory. Li Xin nodded in agreement. After Wei Changrong got a clear answer, he continued, "Do you think that Wenjie consulted the Commander in Chief more often than he consulted you?"
Li Xin was also very straightforward. He was a junior in the older generation and also had the characteristics of an old guy. He was confident in himself, so he didn't hide it. Even if Wei Changrong didn't come to denounce him, Li Xin still answered frankly, "Brother Wei, my brother. You see, the relatives of the royal family are never popular in novels. I think it's completely understandable, but I'm not the only one in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can say that everyone is envious or jealous. Anyway, many people think that Wenjie is not a sociable child. I know, you can say that you are envious or jealous. Anyway, when everyone sees Wenjie, they either think of you or the Commander in Chief. I know this is not very fair to Wenjie, but Wenjie should know this himself. He has written several articles, and everyone's general opinion is that he consulted the Commander in Chief in private. "
Wei Changrong nodded repeatedly. "I know. This child is a little eager for quick success and is not practical in doing things. I know very well that he has caused you trouble. With him around, you are really tired. "
Li Xin didn't insist. He took Wei Changrong's hand and said, "My brother, I am relieved to hear this. This child has to learn to follow his boss and work with his boss. As long as he can do this, I will give him a chance when it's time to give him a chance. If the comrades below him have a lot of opinions, I can only pretend not to hear anything they say. If he says something, I will hear it before his immediate superior says anything. Am I not harming him? "
Wei Changrong patted Li Xin's hand and said earnestly, "Brother, I understand. I understand. You have to worry about this more. When we have time, let's drink more. Look at how busy I am. I don't have time to care about his details. "
Seeing that Wei Changrong had made his stance clear, Li Xin didn't pester the matter anymore. He said with a smile, "Brother Wei, my brother. This child Wenjie has one good thing about him. He knows that things have a beginning and an end. Your Wei family has a good upbringing. Unlike some people, there is no end to one thing. "
