1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 435 I don’t believe you!
The heat in August is scorching, and people feel depressed and anxious.

The summer heat in North China is already extremely hot, but this year it is so hot that one would want to peel off a layer of skin from their bodies.

Therefore, under the advice of the investment promotion company, all businesses have made freezers a standard feature. Commercial Street 1 and Street 2 have not only become the areas with the most concentrated refrigeration facilities in the entire Qilu region, but also the best place for residents of DZ City to escape the summer heat... In addition to being able to buy all kinds of cold drinks and shaved ice everywhere here, there are special cooling boxes that look like trash cans at regular intervals, which continuously spray out dry ice like fairy air to cool down. If it were somewhere else, could you imagine doing this?
Of course, today's commercial demonstration zone is no longer just the CBD in the minds of the city's residents, but also a must-visit commercial attraction for all outsiders when they come to Texas.

Therefore, in today's commercial demonstration areas, you can always hear various accents from all over the world.

………………

"It seems like there are a lot of people coming from Yangxin County recently?"

Bai Mengmeng was strolling around the commodity trading center, licking an ice cream cone and making a very cute expression.

Looking at the little princess who was vaguely asking him something, He Yongyi, who had just come out of the risk management department, laughed: "That's normal. After all, Yangxin County is your master's wife's hometown!"

Bai Mengmeng pouted somewhat unhappily: "Minister Mu hasn't held a wedding banquet with my master yet. It won't be too late to change the address after the banquet."

This is the mainstream thinking in this era. Not to mention that you are just engaged, even if you have obtained a marriage certificate, as long as you don't have a wedding banquet, you are not considered a formal couple.

Although he had long seen that Yang Mo, the young disciple, was actually quite resistant to Miss Mu, when he heard her words, He Yongyi still shook his head gently: "Mengmeng, it's better not to say this casually. After all, Section Chief Yang is already with Minister Mu. Not only has the organization approved it, but the wedding date is also set for National Day... Unlike others, Mengmeng, you are Section Chief Yang's disciple. If others hear what you say, I'm afraid there will inevitably be some rumors, and your master might even be angry."

They all came from the drilling company. Not only did Bai Mengmeng still retain her position in Momo Baitou, she was also Yang Mo's only apprentice. Therefore, her status in Yang Mo's faction was not low at all. Direct cadres such as He Yongyi also doted on this little princess on weekdays.

Bai Mengmeng's face fell when she heard this: "Okay, okay, Uncle He, I get it... I just dare to complain in front of you. I am always careful in front of outsiders."

As she spoke, the little girl rolled her eyes: "Besides, how dare I... My future master's wife is very powerful. If she knew that I was complaining in private, I don't know how she would punish me in the future!"

Although he made a fearful expression, everyone could hear the slight disdain in his tone.

There was no way. This girl was from the Miao ethnic group, which was known for being bold in love and hate. She was also from the Shiwan Mountains in Guizhou, and there was always a strong wildness in her bones.
As Yang Mo's apprentice, Bai Mengmeng had to accept the punishment of her master, who had nothing to say about her, and she didn't even dare to resist.

but……

That future mistress?
Oh, forget it!
He Yongyi took a look at the little princess. He knew what Bai Mengmeng meant by "very powerful means". He also knew why Yang Mo's little disciple became more and more repulsed by Miss Mu, whom she didn't like to begin with.

In fact, it's not just Bai Mengmeng. Any member of Yang Mo's family who is qualified to know part of Miss Mu's plan, or even participate in it, is now wary and fearful of this "sister-in-law".

There's no way. The series of traps that Miss Mu has been playing recently are really too cruel. Not only are they sucking the marrow out of the bones, but once the time comes to close the net, those small fish will be dead.

Although it is not a pity that those parasites died, the coldness and ruthlessness displayed by the Mu team is still enough to make people tremble with fear.

After thinking about it, He Yongyi decided to enlighten the little princess. After all, on one side was Yang Mo's only disciple, and on the other side was Yang Mo's wife. If there was a quarrel or conflict between the two sides, then they would really not know how to fight.

He smiled softly and said, "Meng Meng, although Minister Mu's recent methods are indeed a bit too murderous, you don't have to feel uncomfortable... Not everyone can use force to overcome cleverness like your master. When you reach a certain position, it is normal to use some political means to achieve your goals."

Bai Mengmeng sneered: "Powerful tactics? Please... When has powerful tactics ever been equated with conspiracy?"

"Uncle He, I have stayed in the Tongren compound for ten years. After I came to Qilu, I had Uncle Zhang and Master to help take care of me. I have seen a lot of messy things... I am not so stupid that I can't tell the difference between power and conspiracy, okay!"

He Yongyi looked at her with amusement: "Mengmeng, let me tell you something you may not like to hear. You also said that there are always people around you to help take care of you, so... are you sure that what you saw is all?"

Bai Mengmeng was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing this, He Yongyi sighed and said, "Mengmeng, I heard that Section Chief Yang asked you to read the "Twenty-Four Histories" and even bought you a set with his own money. I think... you haven't finished reading those books yet, right?"

Thinking of the huge box of books that needed a trailer to move, Bai Mengmeng's eyelids couldn't help twitching, and then he hung his head in frustration: "There are so many books, and there are a lot of obscure ancient texts in them. My eyelids start to fight after reading a few lines. How can I finish reading them all at once!"

He Yongyi looked at the guilty look of the little girl, feeling both angry and amused, but in the end he could only shake his head: "No wonder, if you really read "** Comments on the Twenty-Four Histories"... or even read 1/5 of it carefully, you would never say what you just said."

Bai Mengmeng: “Huh?”

He Yongyi found a trash can to throw away the iced pear juice in his hand, and then habitually put his hands behind his back: "There is a saying in large state-owned enterprises that middle-level managers must read "Han Fei" and "Zizhi Tongjian", and senior managers must read "** Comments on the Twenty-Four Histories"... Do you know why?"

Bai Mengmeng shook his head: "I don't know, my father and master never told me."

He Yongyi nodded: "That's because, when it comes to political tactics, we Chinese are the ancestors of everyone, and all the political tactics from ancient times to the present, including those you know and those you don't, are all recorded in the book "Zizhi Tongjian"; and the various cases recorded in the book "Zizhi Tongjian" can actually be regarded as the specific manifestation of Han Fei's thoughts... In other words, these two books, one is the general outline, and the other is a collection of cases."

"If the Zizhi Tongjian is an encyclopedia of techniques, then the ** Comments on the Twenty-Four Histories can be seen as a peek into the Dao... One book tells you which techniques you can learn from, while the other tells you why those techniques and changes occurred under the circumstances at that time, as well as their drawbacks, shortcomings and far-reaching impacts."

After briefly summarizing the characteristics of these books, He Yongyi turned around and looked at Bai Mengmeng: "So, if you really read "Zizhi Tongjian" or "** Comments on the Twenty-Four Histories" carefully, even if you only read part of it carefully, you will easily find that no matter whether it is the drilling company or Dahua Company, some familiar scenes are played out all the time... The reason why you didn't notice it is that you have never paid attention to this aspect."

Bai Mengmeng stuck out her tongue guiltily, and then her whole face turned bitter.

It was already exhausting enough for her to digest what her master taught her, and now she was required to carefully study that pile of stuff that was like incomprehensible books?

Everyone knows that it is not easy to work in state-owned enterprises, and it is even harder to work in central enterprises, but this is too much... someone may die.

He Yongyi glanced at her with amusement, thinking that considering Yang Mo's current situation, how could it be so easy to be his apprentice?

Then she continued, "Minister Mu comes from an extraordinary family. Perhaps because of her female innate characteristics, she may not be able to gain any insights from books such as ** Comments on the Twenty-Four Histories. However, she is definitely familiar with books such as Zizhi Tongjian, which are highly practical and must-read books. "

"So, even if you have only read the Zizhi Tongjian a little, you will understand that what Minister Mu has been using during this period is nothing more than a compound application of old cases such as [Huang Xie's Escape from Qin] (rationalization of the righteousness), [Shi Gao's Position] (interlayer fabrication), and [changing the scene];"

"Of course, it is precisely because of the innate differences between men and women that Minister Mu's methods during this period of time make people feel too sharp and even slightly uncomfortable;"

"But it is precisely because of this that everyone is surprised, but in fact, at most they just feel a little uncomfortable. For Minister Mu, there is actually no resistance;"

"I have to say that Minister Mu's accuracy in grasping the scale really impressed me. She is worthy of being Director Mu's daughter... I estimate that even among the second-generation elites in Dongying, Minister Mu's ability in this regard is definitely among the top five."

Eh? ? ?
Bai Mengmeng looked at He Yongyi in surprise, and couldn't understand why he said such confusing words.
It's both uncomfortable and non-confrontational...

Don't you think this is somewhat contradictory?
Also, how did that woman judge the scale so accurately?

How come I didn’t notice that at all?

Hearing the question raised by the little princess, He Yongyi smiled and said, "Contradictory? Not at all."

As he spoke, He Yongyi took out a Bai Chuncheng cigarette from his pocket that was totally incompatible with his status and position, but he was used to it. He lit it up and said, "Although Minister Mu's methods during this period can be said to be sharp and his actions can be said to be ruthless, everyone will subconsciously feel fearful;"

"But this kind of strong style has its limit!"

"It is precisely because of this that Minister Mu's actions have made people feel relieved."

Bai Mengmeng opened his mouth in disbelief: "Uncle He, do you mean... Minister Mu did this on purpose?"

He Yongyi nodded: "That's right, your master is now a person with absolute authority in the management of Dahua Company. If there is another Madam Yang with a strong say in the company at this time, it will definitely be a disaster for both parties!"

"Minister Mu is a smart man, so even if he needs to show his presence and build his base, he knows how far he should go."

Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but gasp. She had originally looked down on the methods displayed by her future master's wife, thinking that although they were fierce, they still had a petty air.
But when I heard He Yongyi say that Miss Mu did it on purpose...this, this is too scary!

She did not doubt that He Yongyi was over-interpreting the matter. The fact that Uncle He had previously been promoted to the position of Chief of the Finance Department of the drilling company was in itself enough to explain the problem...and He Yongyi was now Yang Mo's direct descendant, and she was Yang Mo's only apprentice. There was no need for the other party to talk nonsense on such a slightly sensitive matter.

When he thought of this, Bai Mengmeng felt that he had lost all his energy and hung his head dejectedly.

Her uncle Zhang Wenshun is now the assistant to the general manager of a drilling company. She is even lucky enough to have Yang Mo as her apprentice, becoming the lucky person that countless people envy and hate so much that they want to stab her.

With so many BUFFs stacked together, she originally thought that even if she was not talented, after a whole year of high-intensity feeding, she was at least one of the best among her peers.

As a result, while she was still feeling complacent, a girl named Miss Mu suddenly appeared. She was only two years older than her, but her methods were so meticulous and sharp that they made her feel cold in her heart, and her mental maturity was like that of a thousand-year-old monster. How could a half-baked girl like her feel?

He Yongyi couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression, "Mengmeng, don't be discouraged. You and Miss Mu will take completely different paths in the future. You will develop in different directions and in different environments. There is actually not much comparability between the two, so you don't have to compare yourself with her."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng said dejectedly, and his expression became even more depressed.

He Yongyi saw this and knew that she had misunderstood. He said with a smile, "Mengmeng, do you know why your master, as a layman, was able to carve out a niche in a drilling company full of experts, and even after arriving at Dahua Company, he was still able to call the shots?"

Bai Mengmeng was about to cry out of grievance: "I know my master is very capable... I am the one who brought shame to him."

Seeing that this girl was still digging into a dead end, He Yongyi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I think you misunderstood me... Let me put it this way, when your master was just a junior clerk who had just been promoted, Director Zhang looked at him differently... Do you know what Director Zhang said to your master at the time?"

Uncle Zhang?
Bai Mengmeng was stunned: "I really don't know, Uncle Zhang and my master didn't mention it."

Seeing that the little girl had finally recovered some spirit, He Yongyi laughed: "It is said that Director Zhang told your master this at the beginning... There is no shortage of masters who are well versed in political tactics in state-owned enterprises, and for a long time, we have been accustomed to solving problems in this way; but the problem is that once a problem that cannot be solved by political tactics appears, once someone appears who does not follow this method to deal with it, then we will be very passive;"

"I must say that Director Zhang's words hit the nail on the head and also touched our sore spot;"

"So, the reason why your master was able to rise to his current position in just two years, not only could he be on equal footing with those old foxes in Dongying, but he could also get along with Executive Ye and his people on an equal footing, and even get special regard from Elder Zhao... In fact, in the final analysis, it's all because your master is the one who broke the deadlock!"

At this point, He Yongyi's tone was inevitably filled with an inexplicable awe: "In this era where everything strives to innovate and break through difficulties, for a person like your master, as long as he can create new cakes out of thin air, it doesn't matter whether he has a family background or not; it doesn't matter whether he understands power politics or not; it doesn't even matter whether he has exceeded his authority... It can be said that your master is a model of overcoming many difficulties with one force!"

After deliberately avoiding some topics, He Yongyi looked at Bai Mengmeng with envy: "So, you are obviously following your master to learn the dragon-slaying skills that countless people envy, but you turn around and envy those fancy tricks that are everywhere. Don't you think this is putting the cart before the horse?"

"After all, this world is about strength. No matter how good you are at scheming, if you don't have enough strength to back it up, it's nothing but a joke. But if you have enough strength, even if you know nothing about scheming, as long as you say something based on your own preferences, who wouldn't do it obediently?"

"Don't disbelieve me. I heard that among the group of old foxes in Dongying, many of them hate your master with a vengeance. But go and see, who dares to set a trap for your master now? Not to mention setting a trap, they don't even dare to make comments. If they have anything to say, they have to ask Mu Siyuan, the father-in-law, to pass on the message in a gentle manner. On the contrary, if your master makes any request, they have to do their best to fight for it at the meeting, and they have to painstakingly make up a lot of high-sounding reasons... See, this is the effect of strength, this is how one force can overcome ten thousand tricks!"

It has to be said that although He Yongyi's last few words were extremely rough, they pointed out the essence of this world incisively.

As expected, this persuasion finally worked. Bai Mengmeng, who was naturally wild at heart, became delighted when he heard the theory that the strong were kings.

Yes!

As long as she learns everything her master has taught her, and she is qualified to become a disciple...

Hum~!

So what if you have a lot of tricks!
In the face of strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers!

A young disciple who was still innocent thought so, without considering the hopeless gap between the two words "ability" and "strength".

"By the way, where is Section Chief Yang? Why didn't I see him when I went to his office today?"

Seeing that Bai Mengmeng's mood was finally getting better, He Yongyi cleverly changed the subject.

Ever since Yang Mo started to hand over a lot of work to his subordinates, he started to slack off without caring about other people's opinions. Not only did he drink tea in the office all day long, he also slipped out of the office from time to time to stroll around. Therefore, it was not surprising that He Yongyi did not see him today.

Bai Mengmeng had a strange expression when he heard this: "My master went to Sister Lu's place to have a good meal... His stomach is not very good, and eating beef and mutton every day makes him a little irritated. Sister Lu just came back from Manchuria yesterday, so when my master heard the news, he ran over there yelling."

In fact, everyone around Yang Mo knew exactly what the "tooth feast" that Bai Mengmeng was talking about was.

Not only do they know it well, even Miss Mu knows it.

But even if they knew, they would pretend not to know.

Firstly, Yang Mo's current status is there, and you can't be too serious about some things;
Secondly, although this matter is somewhat taboo, Yang Mo is not a Hui, and he has not officially married Miss Mu, so if he insists on saying it, it cannot be regarded as disrespecting other people's customs;

Thirdly, everyone's physique is indeed very different. Miss Mu has been eating beef and mutton for more than 20 years without any problems; but Yang Mo only persisted for half a year, and symptoms such as mouth blisters and constipation began to emerge one after another. During the last physical examination, he even found mild gastric mucosal damage.

So there is no other way. As long as you don't eat those taboo things in front of Miss Mu, or brush your teeth carefully before the two of them get intimate, Miss Mu will pretend that she knows nothing... In fact, this is a common compromise method in interracial marriages, and Yang Mo and Miss Mu are not the only ones who do this.

However, He Yongyi's focus was not on this. When he heard that Tugou had returned from Manchuria, he subconsciously asked, "Has Section Chief Yang mentioned the Hope Primary School Operation Fund to you recently?"

When the drilling company invested 2 million yuan in the 100 Hope Primary Schools, it was not a miscalculation. In addition to the 20 yuan per school for infrastructure construction, which was the highest standard at the time, it also injected years of operation and maintenance costs into the relevant fund accounts.

Although they did this in the name of "showing determination", there was actually another hidden agenda.

At the very least, if it was just to show determination, they would never have paid in ten years of operation and maintenance costs all at once, let alone used the funds in the fund to develop school-owned projects on a large scale right from the start (in the early years after the Hope Project was proposed, there was no complete management system like that of later generations, and this situation did not change significantly until the late 90s).
As a financial BP, He Yongyi obviously knew or could see much more than other people. Therefore, when there was no follow-up news on the 5 billion light and heavy industrial products exchange plan, his first reaction when he heard that Tugou had returned from Manzhouli was to ask this.

There was no way. Unlike his previous words of consolation to the little princess, He Yongyi knew very well that Yang Mo was a thoughtful person. Before he officially assigned a task, the only channel for you to know certain information in advance was probably from Miss Mu and Bai Mengmeng.

Although he actually knew how important Tugou was in Yang Mo's heart, the boss was too protective of his childhood friend. Anything that was slightly related to the dark side would basically be kept secret from the girl. Therefore, it was actually quite unlikely to get some news from Tugou in advance.

Hope Primary School Operation Fund?

Bai Mengmeng heard this name that many people had almost forgotten, and shook his head in confusion: "Master has never mentioned this to me."

He Yongyi felt relieved when he heard this.

Fortunately, it is only the beginning of August and there is still some time until the end of the year. The light and heavy industrial products exchange plan still has the possibility of obtaining official approval. Before Miss Mu’s foreign trade plan is completed, Yang Mo should not be in a hurry to launch the replacement plan against the Bear Country, and the money in the fund should not be touched for the time being.

Okay,

Ok!

………………

At this time, from a seemingly ordinary courtyard in the dormitory area of ​​Dahua Industrial Park, a hysterical scream was heard:
"Sheep shit! I'm going to kill you!"

The drenched classmate Tugou was jumping on the spot angrily, shaking off the water on his clothes, and frantically smoothing his water-stained hair, staring at the bastard in front of him with murderous intent.

Someone was watching the tragedy with a dry laugh, then glanced at the bucket in his hand and looked at Tugou innocently: "That... girl, I said I really didn't mean it, do you believe me?"

Tugou fiercely showed his fist and rushed forward: "I don't believe you, you idiot!"
