He remembered the days when he was competing for the head of the student council. Since it was said to be the purest campus, there was no lack of such dirty things, let alone the big stage in the countryside. It had a history of more than 5,000 years!
" Benefits are scary. Sometimes, they can even make people sell their conscience." Lin Jianan took a big gulp of the wine glass and then put it on the table." But in officialdom, it's the most powerful weapon. If you use it well, you'll be a good official. If you don't use it well, you won't be an official for long."”
"Are you talking about the balance of interests?”Lin Chenfeng pondered over his father's words and asked thoughtfully.
" Yes," Lin Jianan nodded and said," To put it bluntly, the so-called official is just a person distributing benefits. Everything that happens in the officialdom is also carried out around the distribution of benefits. Therefore, if you want to be a good official, you have to understand the words power and benefit.”
" There are many forms of interest," Lin Jianan continued." For example, when you engage in factional struggles, you have to take care of your own interests, the interests of your friends, the interests of your political enemies, and the interests of the middle parties. Otherwise, you won't be able to play well.”
"When you are working, you must take into account the interests of your colleagues, your superiors, and your subordinates. Otherwise, your work will not be able to move.”
"Personal interests, collective interests, and national interests. Between these three, you have to have a very clear warning line. Moreover, you can never touch this line. If you touch it, your life will come to an end.”
Lin Jianan picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp. However, when he put the glass down, he did not even realize that the glass was lying on the ground. It seemed that he had drunk too much.
"Mom, cook some green bean soup for Dad.”Lin Chenfeng saw his father's face turn red and said to Lin Zhilan worriedly.
"Don't cause trouble. I'm not drunk.”Lin Jianan waved his hand and continued with his brilliant theory. The officials of the party had their own characteristics. Even those within the system might not necessarily understand the mysteries. Only those who had read the history books could see through the door, because the official system of China had roots.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Chenfeng hurriedly asked.
" First of all, you have to understand that the officialdom of China does not reject internal strife." Lin Jianan tapped the table with his chopsticks and said," In other words, no matter which level of government there is, there are factions, opposites, and internal strife. Those are not things that the superiors are worried about. Perhaps, to a certain extent, they are happy to see it happen.”
" On the contrary, if the people below are harmonious, it will make the higher-ups uneasy." Lin Jianan wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand and said," Because it will easily make the people below an iron plate, which is not conducive to the higher-ups controlling the overall situation. So, you should think more about this in the future."”
"If everyone fights every day, how can we do anything?”Lin Chenfeng raised his eyebrows.
" It's a fight, but there's a limit," Lin Jianan said with a smile." He first drew a frame for you and then put many people inside. As long as you're inside the frame, he won't care about you no matter how you tear or bite. But there's one thing, and that is, you can't jump out of the frame, especially not outside the frame, or your good days will come to an end."”
"A frame?" Lin Chenfeng muttered these two words softly as if he was deep in thought.
Yes, it was time to think about it. Actually, he had experienced some things himself. He had heard some things from others and read some things from books. However, all of these things had been scattered and abstract in the past, but at this moment, they seemed to gather together and slowly form a line.
That night, the family gathered together to drink and chat happily. It was as if they had forgotten the unhappiness brought about by the temporary appointment. At the same time, they had forgotten that there was someone at home who had not returned all night.
Did he really forget? Or was everyone deliberately avoiding a certain topic so as not to ruin the warmth of this reunion?
However, what should come would come. Whether you were willing or not, there were some things that you had to face.
"Chenyu, wake up, wake up."
Early the next morning, Lin Chenyu was still sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by someone. He tried hard to open his eyes and saw his big brother, Lin Chenfeng, standing in front of the bed and looking down at him.
"Big Brother, why are you up so early?”Lin Chenyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.
"Then when do you want to start?" Lin Chenfeng patted him and said," Get up and take a look. What time is it?”
"What time is it?" Lin Chenyu quickly sat up and asked.
" It's past nine." Lin Chenfeng rolled his eyes at him." It's almost time for breakfast."”
"Ah?" Lin Chenyu was stunned." Looks like I drank too much last night. I actually slept so soundly.”
"You didn't vomit even after drinking more than four taels. Your alcohol tolerance is still quite good.”Lin Chenfeng looked at him and smiled.
"You said that I drank water twice at night.”Lin Chenyu said bitterly.
"Just practice. It shouldn't be a problem to drink seven or eight taels in the future.”Lin Chenfeng teased.
"What kind of brother are you? You're always afraid of others drinking.”Lin Chenyu pouted.
" Alright, enough jokes. Let me ask you something serious." Lin Chenfeng suddenly straightened his face and said," Let me ask you, why didn't Chen Lei come home yesterday?"”
"This, this…I don't know either.”Lin Chenyu panicked and stammered.
"Are you lying to me?" Lin Chenfeng glanced at him coldly.
Lin Chenyu felt uncomfortable and a little scared when he looked at her. He said carefully,""He, he might have gone to play cards.”
"Playing cards?" Lin Chenfeng raised his eyebrows and said," You mean he's here? All night?"
"Okay, it seems so." Lin Chenyu lowered her head and said.
"How long has it been?" Lin Chenfeng asked expressionlessly.
"From what Mom said, it seems to have been more than half a year.”Seeing that her brother was not angry, Lin Chenyu spoke smoothly.
" Oh, I got it," Lin Chenfeng said calmly." Get up and eat."”
Lin Chenyu looked at Lin Chenfeng's face, but she could not see any expression on his face. It was as if nothing had happened. However, the more it was like this, the more uneasy he felt.
