At this point, Chen Mingyuan also understood Mu Jiayin's intentions, probably to exchange this piece of agarwood for a favor from Qu Lao, and did not forget to echo: "This agarwood is not very useful to us, if it can help Qu Lao's body, it can be regarded as making the best use of it." ”

Elder Qu was noncommittal, but his relaxed face showed that he was a little moved.

Mu Jiayin hesitated, and continued: "Of course, it's just a temporary loan, and when your body improves, I will retrieve it on your behalf." ”

Qu Lao snorted and said, "The owner hasn't said anything yet, why are you so nervous, is this still a token of your love?"

Mu Jiayin's jade face flushed imperceptibly, and said with a straight face: "What nonsense, disrespect for the old!"

Qu Lao Ha smiled, although he didn't say it explicitly, but obviously accepted this 'gift' by default, and said with a relaxed face: "The thing has been delivered, it's almost time to talk about it, young man, if you encounter any trouble, just tell me, although I have already retired, but there is something to do with it, maybe I can help you." ”

Without waiting for Chen Mingyuan to reply, Qu Lao suddenly raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "When you are old, you are easy to be confused, and after talking for a while, you have forgotten the minimum etiquette." ”

Then, he smiled and said, "I remember that your grandfather came to Yanjing to recuperate the year before, how are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine, every day with my grandmother planting flowers and raising fish, my mentality is better, and my body is gradually recovering."

Chen Mingyuan solemnly replied, in fact, he hadn't seen the old man for a long time, and according to his mother, his body was still good and bad.

As for the old man's mentality, he must not be so relaxed, Qu Lao has retired for so many years, and he still has to pay attention to the situation of the big country, as a major elder of the Zhonghai system, how can the old man be distracted before the current situation0

Qu Lao sighed: "Think about it, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, I remember that when everyone was working in the industrial port, your grandfather was against me all day long, just for the sake of nuclear scientific research foundation, there was no less quarrel." ”

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the central government concentrated on the development of industry, and Qu Lao and Mr. Chen were the core backbones, but the strategies of the two were not the same.

Although Qu Lao was lamenting the past, Chen Mingyuan heard that he was always haunted by the differences between him and his grandfather, and he couldn't help but retort: "Old Qu, in all fairness, your country's national and nuclear industry systems can have today's achievements, and you are undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt of today's achievements, but in my opinion, while building a country, we must not ignore the development of people's livelihood, let alone blindly pursue the improvement of military strength at the expense of the well-being of the people. What has been delayed is the development of the country, and the great famine of those years is already an ironclad proof!"

He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but Mu Jiayin gave him a look, meaning that he should not be angry for a while.

Sure enough, Qi Rongying's face immediately sank, and he stared at him unkindly.

At the same time, he was also very shocked, with the prestige of Qu Lao, on weekdays, even if the members of the Politburo and the Standing Committee came to visit Qu Lao, they had to wait carefully, how dare this young man refute, saying that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

A hint of discoloration flashed in Qu Lao's eyes, which was intriguing: "Ha! What an offspring! Chen Rongting also has a good grandson, always remember to protect the elders, just say what you just said, change to other yellow-mouthed children, I will not be the first to spare it!"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for that time, we tightened our belts to engage in two bombs and one star, those Western powers would have already hit the doorstep, and if they were backward, they would be beaten, and those treaties that lost the country and humiliated the country were all studied in books, without the foundation of these countries, let alone reform and opening up, it would be a question of whether you can eat enough now, young man, since you are on the road to the public, you have to learn to take a long-term view of everything!"

Chen Mingyuan's face did not change, and said eloquently: "Qu Lao Zhengrong has lived a lifetime, and it is natural to say that it is a golden stone and jade words, and I am not a scholar, arrogant to the point of belittling the construction of the country, I just hope that everyone can fairly and objectively evaluate a person's merits and demerits, although my grandfather's political views do not agree with you, but it does not mean that he can veto them all, at least in the situation at that time, most people can't even eat enough, and the development of people's livelihood industry is indeed urgent, the founding great man once said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, but he still has a sentence from the old man, In my opinion, if a country wants to develop comprehensively and steadily, it must grasp both external and internal troubles, and both hands must be hard! Mr. Qu, what do you think?"

Qu Lao squinted at him, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, and glanced back at Mu Jiayin: "Okay, you Mu girl, you come to me to knock on the bamboo and forget it, and bring one by the way, no wonder you treat this young man differently, it's really interesting!"

"Then it depends on Old Qu that you are sensible and know right from wrong."

Mu Jiayin took the opportunity to ease the atmosphere.

"Okay, everyone has a scale in their hearts, with different positions and different understandings, so let's leave these merits and demerits to future generations to evaluate." Old Qu waved his hand, and his smile was a little more friendly: "Let's not discuss these points of view, young man, these insights of yours are still kept and used in your work, I am quite interested in seeing what achievements you can have in the future, as for now, you can first talk about the purpose of this trip." ”

Chen Mingyuan said unhurriedly: "Actually, the purpose of my coming, Elder Qu should have guessed it." ”

Old Qu raised his white eyebrows and said slowly: "If you are here to run for the official here, there is no need to say it, first, I don't want to see these dirty things, and secondly, with your grandfather and He Xiangdong to help, your future will not be worryed about by outsiders." ”

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are still Ning Lizhong's secretary, it's quite interesting, you are a child of the Chen family, how could you run to be Ning Lizhong's secretary." ”

Mu Jiayin helped: "Elder Qu, he is different from those ordinary family children, people rely on their own skills to break through the system, step by step. ”

Old Qu's expression changed again, and he looked at Chen Mingyuan again, = and said: "That's really not simple, those children of the current family, at your age, it is already rare to have your sharp courage and ambition, and the better ones have to be carried by the family to the county level, and then released out, relying on their own strength to fight in the officialdom, it is enough to make people look high." ”

Chen Mingyuan said humbly: "It's just that I was lucky, and I met the respect and promotion of a good leader." ”

"Praise you, and mention Ning Lizhong again." Qu Lao shook his head and said, "I probably know your intention, I want to help your leader say good things, right?"

Chen Mingyuan was silent, in fact, from the exchange just now, he had already noticed that Qu Lao had a bad impression of Ning Lizhong, and thinking of Mu Jiayin's intention of bringing him, it was probably to remind himself that if he wanted to solve the dilemma in front of him, Qu Lao was the most critical person.

Elder Qu was not in a hurry to express his position, and said, "Let me ask you first, what do you think of Ning Lizhong?"

Chen Mingyuan pondered the wording and said: "To summarize in three words, there is courage, responsibility and determination. ”

"That's right, that's good." Qu Lao picked up the teacup and took a sip again, lowered his eyes, and said casually: "But you still forgot to say one thing, that is, capriciousness!"

The atmosphere of the audience was subtle, a top veteran of a republic, such an evaluation of a feudal minister, whether it was selfish or not, is a very significant political signal!

In other words, Qu Lao's poor perception of Ning Lizhong has long been revealed, which makes the impeachment of the vested interests in Dongjiang Province this time evolve into such a huge wave.

Qu Lao glanced up at him, and said with a smile: "I'm old, but I'm not old and confused, what is the situation below, I basically have a spectrum in my heart, Ning Lizhong's fire is burning vigorously enough, you must know that these days, there are many people who come to Beijing to sue the imperial court, and there are a few calls to me to complain!"

"Maybe you will say that his original intention is good, but everyone be honest, why doesn't he have the meaning of running for political achievements, as the saying goes, things must be opposed, he wants to rely on his own actions, to show his political views to the world, to add chips to his position, but have you thought about it carefully, he burned the future of an industry, and when he patted his ass and left, who will clean up the mess left behind? In the end, it is the people and the local government that will pay the bill!"

Qu Lao took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and added: "If he really has the ambition to forge ahead, I will still turn a blind eye, but history tells us that the biggest risk for politicians is that their positions are prone to capriciousness. ”

The implication is that he still remembers Ning Lizhong's compromise attitude during the Great Revolution.

Chen Mingyuan argued with reason: "It is true that your concerns are very reasonable, I also do not deny that Ning Shujianji's move this time is a little more aggressive, but from an objective standpoint, if I am Ning Shujianji, this fire will also be released, I have been in Dongjiang Province for seven years, it can be said that it is my second hometown, I am generally clear about the situation in Dongjiang Province, the industrial and commercial economy is very developed, just say leather shoes, the leather industry in Dongjiang Province is prosperous, leather shoes sell well at home and abroad, but too much pursuit of economic interests, Let the quality of these leather shoes deteriorate, now the market is called Dongjiang leather shoes weekend shoes, that is, Saturday wear out of the Lang, Sunday has to be scrapped, consumers are almost to the point of talking about Dongjiang leather shoes color change, for a long time, the signboard was smashed, the victim is the entire Dongjiang leather industry!"

"Ning Shujian probably understood that the industry had reached the brink of danger, so he sounded a wake-up call to the entire industry, of course, he must have known that Lu Dao did this, which would cause a strong backlash, so he simply lit this fire by himself and took the infamy on himself, at least so that the latecomers could take over the reform, and there would be less resistance."

Old Qu smiled and said, "In the final analysis, you just want to convince my old man!"

Chen Mingyuan waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, just want to sort out the merits with you, the long pain is not as good as the short pain, the pain relief of the Dongjiang leather industry will only be temporary, look at it in the distance, it can also promote the leather industry to work hard and improve the quality, you just mentioned me, everything should be for the long-term vision, our country's reform and opening up can not be achieved overnight, there must be a generation of people to do it for a long time, how can you force the emergence of a savior, immediately cure the stubborn disease of Dongjiang Province." ”

"As for the problem of politicians, the leader of the country naturally cannot be those capricious and despicable people, but ask yourself, I still have some eyesight, and Ning Shuji has worked together for two years, what he does, has always been based on the overall situation, he has always taught me to be firm in principle on the issue of right and wrong, such a person, I really can't see that he is a petty person who is hungry for profit, maybe he did something wrong back then, but in this life, who can guarantee that he will never make mistakes, Even the merits and demerits of the founding great man have to be analyzed aside, and the key is whether this person has a heart to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and have the courage to take responsibility and reform!"
