Zeng Yaohong thought for a while, her daughter is not very old, and the position to be arranged will naturally not be too high, of course, her daughter has an overseas study background, and it can't be too low, so she has to arrange a deputy section chief or something, and cadres of this level can be quietly arranged to go to the Beihu Provincial Government without using his family connections, even he can do it.

Zeng Yaohong estimated that his daughter would not last long, but of course he was not at ease about letting his daughter go alone like this, either to find someone to take care of him in Beihu, or to go with someone......

It's just that Zeng Yaohong really underestimated her daughter's determination this time......

Lu Zhengdong definitely didn't know that the Zeng family's most favored granddaughter actually wanted to go to his provincial government to perform an Infernal Affairs at the expense of money, and he and Xue Yu were still in the limelight at Professor Wu's house.

For their arrival, Professor Wu and Liu Yanying Zhu'er were very welcome, especially Zhu'er held Xueyu's hand and kept asking her questions about the baby in her belly, the children's questions were strange, and some questions were difficult to answer even Xueyu, Zhu'er also carefully leaned into Xueyu's lower abdomen to listen to the baby's heartbeat, and kept asking how long it would take for the baby to play with her, and the look of anticipation couldn't help but make everyone laugh.

The three women chatted together, and Lu Zhengdong followed Professor Wu to his study.

Professor Wu beckoned Lu Zhengdong to sit down, and then said with a slight mutter:

"Zhengdong, I'm also old, maybe I'll go to see Marx when I can."

"Professor, what are you talking about, you are in such good spirits, how can you say such a thing."

Lu Zhengdong was also a little surprised how Professor Wu talked to him about this issue.

Professor Wu waved his hand:

"Birth, old age, sickness and death. I've seen it a long time ago. Let it be, it's just a smoky mother and daughter, but it's a piece of my heart. Yanying and Dongyuan have a good relationship, and Yanying has not been able to get out, which is not a good thing. The level of people you come into contact with is relatively high, so if you want to be suitable, help pay attention to it. ”

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"Time is the best medicine for heartache, give her some time and she will come out. It's not worth teaching you not to be angry with those idlers for the sake of those idlers. The current academic world is really a bit of a miasma. In particular, the field of economics did not sink down to do academics, but dealt with the media all day long, and became the standard 'economics journalists', striving for fame and even profit.

Last year, I was going to invite some experts and scholars in the field of economics in the province to take the pulse of Beihu's economy and put forward some suggestions, but guess what? ”

Lu Zhengdong also knew that Professor Wu loved to shoot guns and liked to give some people more truthfulness, and he also took it to heart after listening to Liu Yanying's reminder, and also wanted to persuade Professor Wu not to be too angry, but if it was just ordinary persuasion, it would be difficult to work.

"What's wrong?"

Professor Wu couldn't help but ask.

"I actually have to pay for an appearance. As a result, I asked the secretary general of the provincial government to inquire, hehe. Nowadays, there are many large and small official or non-governmental forums, or well-dressed, or raunchy economists appear frequently, discussing economic trends, taking the pulse of market dynamics, becoming the protagonist of many participants and media pursuits, and the stars of the entertainment industry, and these so-called economists are keen on this, not only for fame, but also profitable, and now many so-called economists are simply like the stars who go to the cave to ask for an appearance fee, in addition to the first class, five-star hotels, and some other requirements are also necessary.

Many of these people have become "all-round" economists, talking about economics, politics, culture, institutions, education, and so on, but nothing is good. However, due to the operation of business, their value has risen. Frequent trips to the cave and rushing to the market have become the 'main business' of some economists. I heard that an economist who is famous for his big mouth attended seven forums in a month last year, and he earned millions of dollars just by walking through his acupoints throughout the year. ”

Professor Wu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this:

"I see!"

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"But there are still a small number of people who are not keen on this, such as you are old, you don't want to go, that is, there is no market, these people, the more famous, the more authoritative they are, the more they are scolded, the more they are attacked, the purpose is nothing more than to raise their own value, so that the appearance fee is higher, so the more you argue with them, the happier they are.

You also know the level of those people, especially some so-called returnee economists who deceive the world and sell their reputation. These people are very honest when they go abroad, and as soon as they return to China, they start to go crazy and start pretending to be big. At best, the level of these people is economic researchers, even if the standard is lowered, that is, economists, they really want to be called economists, and the standard of this bottom line can be counted in two slaps. You say that you are not worth talking to them at all, and you are playing into their hands.

Of course, there are some people who hold a grudge because your theory directly harms their interests, and there is no other way to resort to despicable means such as smearing and slandering, and you know what kind of people these people are. ”

Professor Wu nodded:

"Hehe, it's really easy for them to take advantage of the character who can't tolerate sand in my eyes, it seems that we should pay attention to it in the future, in fact, real economists should have academic achievements that can be recognized around the world, and I only mainly study domestic problems, and I focus on the application and practice of economics, and I am not a real economist, so I am at best an economic researcher, or an economic practitioner, even if it is called a good name, it is an economic application scientist, Real economists should stay more in their own universities and research institutes to do a good job of learning and cultivate economic talents. To set a good example for young students, we are not doing enough in this area and we need people to do it. I'd love to do it, but I don't have the energy, so I'll leave it to posterity. ”

Lu Zhengdong smiled and waved his hand:

"Professor, you dare not call it an economist, it is estimated that there are no economists in China, economic education is also a process of understanding, there is also a process of reflection, and it is inseparable from a realistic environment, the current university is no longer an ivory tower, impetuous, utilitarian, profit-oriented in the meantime, academic corruption is prevalent, in my opinion, the reform of the academic evaluation system and education reform still have a long way to go."

Professor Wu smiled teasingly:

"That's a very polite statement, but it's actually a failure. The 21 st century is a competition for talent, and the competition for talent is actually a competition for education. The university is also closely related to the overall social environment, and now the atmosphere of the whole society is there, especially some party and government officials are very dislike, these years have been putting this problem at a very high level, but in fact the effect is not great, the operation is still to be operated, the later the time, the more destructive, if it cannot adapt to the speed of economic reform, it will strictly restrict development, and moreover, it will make the dissatisfaction rise, if it continues to ferment, it will lead to concentrated outbreaks. It is even more detrimental to maintaining the overall situation of stability and unity. ”

Lu Zhengdong smiled:

"This should be seen as long as people are sober-minded, but in fact it is very difficult to operate at present, and now the collective leadership system is implemented, and the number of Standing Committee members is also large, the original intention of this system design is to prevent the kind of patriarchal general dictatorship in the Cultural Revolution, which causes great danger, but such a system design is sometimes difficult to reach an agreement due to a large number of people, and it will also be difficult to make some decisions due to mutual constraints in a large way. Or it is the result of a compromise that does not reach the strength it should have. Politics is sometimes a very realistic game, and no one can bet lightly until there are enough chips, otherwise, they will lose all their old money and never have a chance to turn over. Therefore, if you really want to make up your mind to undergo major surgery, it will take some time, and it will always be the least destructive way to reach an agreement within the system and solve the problem. These words cannot be said until a consensus is reached, otherwise, there is a risk that you will suffer a big loss in the future. ”

Professor Wu glanced at Lu Zhengdong as he spoke, and said:

"I see that you rarely give interviews in public, so that's what you think about, right?"

Lu Zhengdong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Professor Wu to be quite keen, and thought for a while:

"Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the debate over ideology and economic theory has always existed, and on some sensitive issues, even the debate is very intense, and in many cases it is better to say less and do more, especially the leaders of the party and government departments are not as good as the academic circles, and before reaching a consensus on some issues, it is the best way to say less and do more."

Professor Wu also nodded, after the old man of the Yun family retired, he never attended the National Day or the Party Congress of the 10th Daqing, and did not steal the limelight of the younger generation of leaders, but who would ignore his existence? Lu Zhengdong can be regarded as a family history, but Professor Wu still can't help but remind this most proud closed disciple:

"Zhengdong, you are in the system, it is indeed different from us, in the past few years, it seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, ultra-left things have begun to rise again, and Beihu has not been peaceful in the past few years, even if you only do not say it, but the results will gradually appear, it is impossible not to attract people's attention, and you must be cautious, so as not to suffer a big loss."

Professor Wu smiled as he spoke, waved his hand, and said:

"I'm worrying about nothing, I need to worry about these things?"

Professor Wu smiled, the old man of the Yun family is a real master in this regard, the old man of the Yun family has a keen sense of smell and superb skills, which makes him able to swim in domestic politics with ease, like a fish in water, he must have reminded Lu Zhengdong a long time ago.

Lu Zhengdong is indeed very good.

Almost all of his generation have a sense of family and country, and now these younger generations have fewer and fewer such feelings, and it is enough to be gratified that this closed disciple of his own can have such a mind...... (To be continued......)
