Lu Qingman hugged her father's arm and chatted with him affectionately for a while. She mainly talked about the effects of pregnancy. Lu Zhouxing reminded her and asked Li Rui to keep an eye on her: Don't be too tired and don't walk or stand for too long. Otherwise, she could easily have a miscarriage. She was already a little older, and the risk of a miscarriage was much higher than that of other pregnant women of the right age.
Lu Qingman heard this and laughed. "Dad, say something else. Xiao Rui has been telling me this almost every day. If he hasn't told me a hundred times, then at least eighty. I feel like he's even more nervous than I am when I'm pregnant."
Lu Zhouxing heard this and looked at Li Rui with joy. Obviously, he didn't expect him to care so much about Qingman's body. Grandpa Lu didn't know that the reason Li Rui was so cautious was because he had listened to the divination of the great monk, Fa Yu.
Lu Qingman quickly changed the topic. She took out her phone and opened the photo album. She opened the photo with He Suli and showed it to Grandpa Lu.
Lu Zhouxing squinted and looked at it. It seemed like he couldn't see clearly. Li Rui didn't wait for his instructions. He took out the spare reading glasses from under the coffee table, opened them, and handed them to him.
Lu Zhouxing smiled and put them on. He looked at the photo carefully. When he saw He Suli's face, he was slightly moved. He smiled and asked Lu Qingman, "Manman, who is this woman?" Lu Qingman didn't keep him in suspense and said proudly, "I was planning to introduce someone to you." Lu Zhouxing had already guessed this possibility. He took off the reading glasses and put them back in the box. He sighed and said, "I already told you that I won't consider remarrying. Girl, why are you still thinking about it?" Lu Qingman said with a smile, "Xiao Rui and I know that you have a lot of considerations. We are worried that the process of remarriage will involve a big family, which will create a lot of complicated things, and it will bring about political influence and so on. So we also carefully selected the candidates …"
She pointed at He Suli in the photo and said, "This is Auntie He. Her family background is very simple. There is no one in the family. Her parents have passed away and her child died of illness. She has been single for many years and is now living alone in Jingnan. If … if only, if you marry her, you will only marry her and not bring anyone else."
When Lu Zhouxing heard this, he frowned.
Li Rui looked at him nervously. He wondered if the old man would think that He Suli was a jinx because of this. If he had jinxed his entire family, would he be jinxed as well after marrying her?
Lu Qingman continued to talk about He Suli's various benefits. She made it sound as if the heavens were to rain down on her. In the end, she said that if Lv Zhouxing didn't marry her, it would be the biggest tragedy in his life.
Lu Zhouxing was amused. When she finished, he affectionately hugged her thin shoulders and said with emotion, "Manman, you have really grown up!" His eyes were a little wet as he spoke. Lu Qingman was also a little sad. She said, "Dad, I should have grown up a long time ago. I have always neglected your happiness …" Lu Zhouxing smiled and interrupted, "Will I be happy if you find me an old partner?" Lu Qingman chuckled and said, "At least you will be happier than before."
Li Rui also chimed in and said a lot of comforting words.
Lu Zhouxing thought for a long time after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Alright, since you two have good intentions, I will consider making time to meet this Auntie He." Lu Qingman immediately said, "My plan is to hold a family banquet here in the standing committee building to entertain Auntie He. I am not saying that Auntie He is a philistine and that she will only be willing to talk to you after she sees your true identity. I am just worried that she will dislike you for being older without knowing your identity. " Lu Zhouxing chuckled and said, "But if this is the only way to make her satisfied, then is she marrying someone with power or me?" Lu Qingman smiled and said, "She is not such a snobbish person. In any case, she comes from a scholarly family. I am just using this method to give her a chance to accept you. Then you can slowly talk and develop your relationship."
Lu Zhouxing looked at Li Rui with a smile and said, "Such a delicate idea. Was it Xiao Rui who came up with it?" Li Rui quickly clarified, "No, haha, it was Qingman's idea. She is more meticulous than me when it comes to this kind of thing. I almost made a fool of myself today."
Lu Qingman heard this and interrupted, "Yes, when he heard Auntie He say that she has no family, he actually said that it was great. He almost made a fool of himself …" She then told him about the incident.
Lu Zhouxing laughed heartily after hearing this. His smile was full of gratitude and gratitude.
In the evening, the family of three sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. During the dinner, they talked and laughed, ate and drank. It was warm and lively.
After dinner, Lu Zhouxing took Li Rui upstairs for tea and asked him about his work situation.
Li Rui told him about his recent gains, including the knowledge he learned from the construction of Qingyang City, Song Chaoyang's "Five-one-one Project" and the preparation of the "CEO Council", and the lessons and experiences he learned from the series of events in Dongshui Village.
Lv Zhouxing was very satisfied with the gains and progress he had accumulated. He further pointed out, "What you lack now is mainly experience. Experience doesn't only refer to qualifications and resume. Qualifications are given by the higher-ups, and resume doesn't mean anything. The real core is the ability to solve conflicts. What is a conflict? Everything in the world can be called a conflict. Daily work is a conflict. Unexpected events are also conflicts. The process of being in power is actually a process of constantly resolving conflicts. Therefore, whether you can be in power or not depends on whether you can quickly resolve conflicts. "
Li Rui was almost confused by what he said, but he basically understood what he meant. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was to cultivate the ability to deal with things and solve problems. However, the old man had unified it as solving conflicts. Perhaps he thought that it was easier to understand.
Lu Zhouxing saw him nodding repeatedly and laughed, "You are saying that you have understood, but in fact, you don't. Why did I specifically emphasize that it is a conflict? All affairs are made up of two unified opposites. Before the affairs are formed, the two opposites are neither strong nor weak and maintain a balance. Once the balance is lost, there will be trouble. The development of affairs is based on the strength of the two opposites. The strong side is the spear, the weak side is the shield. Generally speaking, the spear will suppress the shield. If we want to solve this problem, we have to solve the problem of the spear suppressing the shield. How do we solve it? It's very simple. We can either reduce the sharpness of the spear or increase the thickness of the shield so that they reach a balance and return to their original state. This way, the affairs will be solved. My words may be too abstract. You can put yourself in the shoes of the incident in Dongshui Village. You will understand more thoroughly. "
Li Rui felt as if he had opened a small window for him. He could see more scenery through this window, but his vision was blurry and he couldn't see clearly. It was obvious that he didn't fully understand. He tried to put the incident in Dongshui Village into this logic. Before the incident in Dongshui Village broke out, the two opposites, Taifu Chemical Factory and the villagers of Dongshui Village, were gradually losing their balance. The villagers of Dongshui Village, who acted as the shield, could no longer resist the pollution and oppression of Taifu Chemical Factory, which acted as the spear. This finally ignited the fuse. After that, the powerful intervention of the Northern District Government, represented by Zhao Xiaotao, once again caused the power imbalance in the incident. The Northern District Government appeared as a new and sharper spear and completely pierced the incomplete shield of the villagers of Dongshui Village. In the end, a new disaster broke out.
In the two incidents, the roles of the spear and the shield were very obvious. The bullying and humiliation of the spear and the shield were also very clear. It was the existence of the spear and the shield and the imbalance of power between the two sides that formed the main body of the series of incidents in Dongshui Village. According to the logic in Lu Zhouxing's words, if they wanted to solve this series of conflicts, they could either reduce the sharpness of the spear, which was to put pressure on Taifu Chemical Factory and the Northern District Government to stop and correct their mistakes, or increase the thickness of the shield, which was to support the villagers of Dongshui Village and help them resist the oppression of the chemical factory and the government. In fact, the leadership of Qingyang City, represented by Song Chaoyang, had dealt with the situation in this way. Although the problem had not been fully solved, it was undoubtedly the right way to solve it.
After thinking about it, Li Rui finally understood the meaning of the Old Master's words. It turned out that the Old Master had taught him a new way to deal with problems, which was to start from the opposite side of the internal affairs, distinguish the contradictions, and then deal with them accordingly. He believed that this should be an exclusive secret book that the Old Master had accumulated and studied during his career as an official. Of course, this kind of exclusive secret book was completely different from the martial arts secret books in Jianghu. The martial arts secret book was only in the hands of a very small number of people, and it was unique in the world. Except for the owner, no one else could master it. After learning it, one could dominate the world. However, the Old Master's exclusive secret book was not so effective. Many people could learn it without a teacher, and it could only help the user to solve some problems in a unique way.
Li Rui thought that even if the Old Master had not taught him this method, he could have steadily and accurately grasped the essence of problems like the Dongshui Village incident, and then made targeted responses. Of course, with this method, he had more room to choose. No matter what, it was the Old Master's sincere kindness, and he had to appreciate it. He said with a smile, "I tried to put myself in the shoes, and I already understood that you taught me a way to solve problems. It was really useful. In the future, when I think about things, my mind will be clearer and more accurate."
Lu Zhouxing said with a smile, "This method can be used not only in work, but also in life. For example, if you quarrel with Man Man, you can analyze which two opposite sides in your thoughts are out of balance. At this time, don't think about who is right and who is wrong, but how to solve the problem. Find out where the contradiction lies, and then take the right medicine to solve it. Of course, most of the time, the two sides of a contradiction can be transformed. You may think that the other side has hurt you more, but you may neglect that you may cause more harm to the other side … "
