In the Lu family in the capital, in the study of the old man Lu, the bookshelves are full of all kinds of books.

Old man Lu's eldest son, Lu Botong, stood beside the old man, he didn't dare to say a word, and quietly watched the old man splash ink on the white paper with a brush in his hand!

The word "self-cultivation" jumped on the paper, full of muscles and bones, but extremely round!

"Boss, these two words are given to you by my father." Old Man Lu looked at the work he had just completed with satisfaction, and smiled slightly, "The Lu family is not as good as before, you have to cultivate yourself and wait for the opportunity!" ”

"Yes." Lu Botong responded very respectfully, "Thank you for your father's teachings, the child remembers." ”

"Hmm." Old Man Lu nodded with satisfaction, "The second family's Lu Tao's theoretical knowledge is enough, but the smell of books on his body is too strong." Your transfer of Lu Tao from Xiaolei County, Chunan Province back to the capital may not be a good thing for him. ”

Lu Botong smiled bitterly: "Dad, it's not that I want to transfer him back to the capital, it's just that he doesn't pay attention to his life style, and he is almost ruined." If Lu Ming hadn't gone to Chunan Province and brought the host of the TV station to the capital, I'm afraid that Lu Tao would not be willing to return to the capital. ”

Old Man Lu frowned: "This Lu Tao, it's really uncomfortable." ”

After a pause, the old man sighed again: "It's also that I shouldn't force him, let him teach in the university, it's actually quite good." ”

"It's Lu Tao who doesn't fight for himself." Lu Botong hurriedly said.

"Why isn't he angry?" The old man asked rhetorically, "Just that Lu Tao can bring out students like Li Jiatao is enough to prove that he is still competent in teaching and educating people." ”

"Daddy." Lu Botong asked tentatively, "Do you really decide to meet Li Jiatao in person tomorrow?" ”

The old man nodded, and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet this young man, two years ago, the article "Ben Xiaokang, Dare to Be the First in the World" came out, if the situation was not very clear at that time, it would have been time to meet this young man. Now that I think about it, those two articles were well written. ”

There was a hint of regret in the old man's tone: "If our Lu family could have been more resolute in the direction of reformers at that time, maybe our Lu family would not be what it is now!" ”

"This Li Jiatao is a little strange." Lu Botong also frowned, "Since I wrote those two articles, I haven't seen him publish any articles in the media in the past two years." ”

"Do you suspect that he is the child in "Hurt Zhongyong", but he just became famous at a young age and was short-lived?" Old Man Lu smiled slightly, "Then you can underestimate this young man, Li Jiatao has not been at ease in the past two years." Wasn't Xie Maolin, the governor of Chunan Province, planted in his hands? ”

"Dad, no matter what, Li Jiatao is just a small secretary of the township party committee, so he is not worthy of your personal meeting." Lu Botong still tried to make the old man dispel the idea of meeting Li Jiatao.

"Don't bully young people into poverty." The old man sighed, his eyes full of wisdom, "In time, this young man may be able to soar into the deep valley and soar into the sky." ”

As soon as the old man said this, Lu Botong didn't know how to answer. Regarding the old man's political vision, Lu Botong is naturally quite convinced. It can be said that the Lu family has been able to stand tall in China for decades, and still occupies a place among the major families in the capital, basically supported by Old Man Lu alone!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Old Man Lu is healthy and longevity is as old as the pine. In the officialdom, there is a saying that "it is better to bully the old than the young", but among the major families in the capital, there is more saying that "who has a longer life than a few old guys"!

Having an old family is like a treasure! Not to mention that Old Man Lu is the only one of the few older generations of the founding father-level who has left!

"If there is Li Jiatao's help, Lu Tao will still have a good chance to step into the ministerial ranks in the future." Old Man Lu smiled slightly, but he came up with such an earth-shattering sentence, which surprised Lu Botong!

"Daddy!" Lu Botong couldn't help but say, "Your expectations for Li Jiatao are too high." ”

"You'll see later." Old Man Lu said unhurriedly, "Your father and I have read countless people, but I can't see through this young man." ”

Lu Botong was silent all of a sudden, knowing that the old man had such feelings, there must be a basis.

Sure enough, Old Man Lu continued: "When the situation was most turbulent, Li Jiatao published an article that coincided with the No. 1 chief, which left a deep impression on the No. 1 chief. In the past two years, Li Jiatao went to the grassroots level, and it seemed that he could not bear it, but he had established a close relationship with several members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Chunan Province, and this interpersonal relationship was a valuable wealth for his future career development. ”

After a pause, the old man said slowly: "Lu Tao was able to retreat from Chunan Province, and he also had quite a lot of political achievements, which can be said to be inseparable from his student. If it weren't for Li Jiatao, just the county magistrate named Wang Zhiyuan would be enough for Lu Tao to have a headache, what kind of political achievements would he talk about? ”

"Dad, I always feel that Li Jiatao is still a little ambitious." Lu Botong couldn't help but say, "He is a small secretary of the township party committee, and he dares to participate in the struggle between the standing committee members of the provincial party committee." If he had become secretary of the county party committee, wouldn't he have put his hand in the State Council? ”

Old Man Lu was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "This statement is a bit interesting, if it is really given to Li Jiatao as a platform, it is really uncertain." I think this young man is very bold, not ordinarily bold! ”

"Father, don't you always teach us that if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government?" Lu Botong thought about it, then said with a smile, "Li Jiatao, a small township cadre, is too lenient in his affairs." In my opinion, there are not a few people who have offended Li Jiatao, and they have offended Song Qingming, the secretary of the provincial party committee who he cannot afford to offend. ”

Old Man Lu frowned, and said unhappily: "Boss, how many times have I taught you, everything is based on reality, don't stick to books, and don't stick to what someone says." You don't want to think about it, what kind of situation Song Qingming, the current secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Chunan Province, is facing? Let me tell you, Song Qingming is now suffering from internal and external troubles, walking on the tightrope, maybe one day he will be planted and fighting! ”

Lu Botong was a little unconvinced: "Even if Song Qingming falls, his dying blow is not something that Li Jiatao, a small township party secretary, can withstand." ”

The old man sighed leisurely: "Let's wait and see." Two years ago, Li Jiatao gave up the opportunity to work in the provincial capital of Chunan Province, and he may have expected the situation that Song Qingming would encounter today. He took the initiative to work in the poor countryside of Xiaolei County, but he didn't give Song Qingming a chance to make a move!
