Chu Jianguo lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying,""It's like this."
"When I wrote this, I was too emotional and couldn't control myself.”
"Yes." Chu Yue nodded.
His father, Chu Jianguo, had always felt that his ambition had not been fulfilled. Life had bound him, and he had never been able to find a way to realize his dream.
This time, the route and plan that Chu Yue had given was feasible. As long as it was handled properly, Chu Jianguo had a great chance of realizing his dream for many years.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Jianguo was overwhelmed with emotions. When he wrote, he unconsciously integrated his inner feelings into it and had a strong desire to express himself.
This caused the article to become a little restless.
Chu Yue said," There's no problem with the structure of the article. The arguments and arguments are all reasonable. It's just rhetoric."”
"But you can't underestimate these things. I heard that the higher the level of the big shots, the more they like those articles that are fair, peaceful, and insightful.”
"If it's too intense, people might not like it.”
Chu Jianguo nodded.
Chu Jianguo said," Xiao Yue, you have to help me edit this article. I know that I'm still in a state of excitement. Even if you want me to edit it, I can't change it to that kind of taste. It's better for you to do it!"”
"That's for sure. I was the one who suggested it. I'll definitely help you to the end, Dad.”Chu Yue nodded.
He picked up a pen and began to edit.
Actually, this kind of text modification was not too difficult.
However, Chu Jianguo was in a state of passion now, and he was a little confused.
Chu Yue spent about half an hour editing Chu Jianguo's article.
"Alright, Dad, read it again. How do you feel?”
Chu Jianguo took the manuscript and read it once.
"Eh? It's true. It's clearly the same thing. With your changes, I feel that my mood has improved a lot. I don't feel as anxious as before. Moreover, there are still some points of view. It's a good article, but it's really like what you said. It's much more neutral and peaceful.”
Chu Jianguo said in surprise.
"This is the use of learning Chinese well," said Chu Yue with a smile.”
"I remember reading a story in the past. When Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty pacified the Taiping Country, he was defeated in successive battles and sent a memorial to the Imperial Court Cixi, asking for more resources.”
"In Zeng Guofan's own memorial, there was a line called 'I have fought and lost repeatedly.' After he finished writing it, he showed it to his aides. The aides felt that it was inappropriate, so they changed it to 'I have fought and lost repeatedly.'”
"Dad, do you think the meaning behind this is a little different?”
Chu Jianguo listened to this story, and the more he tasted it, the more interesting it became. He said,"Really, if it's the same, but in a different order, it feels completely different! In the beginning, he felt that Zeng Guofan was very incompetent, but after changing it, he felt that this person had great perseverance and determination, and could achieve great things!”
Chu Yue nodded and said," Yes, it's said that Cixi was deeply moved when she saw it. Therefore, she allocated resources to Zeng Guofan."”
"Of course, this might just be a story that later generations will come up with, but that's the meaning.”
"Dad, the article that you didn't edit just now is actually a good article. It's just that you didn't pay attention to this point.”
Chu Jianguo agreed.
He sighed and said,"You live and learn. Today, you taught me a lesson."”
Chu Yue chuckled and said," I wouldn't dare. I have this level because of you. You taught me by words and example."”
"Haha, that makes sense!" Chu Jianguo was in a good mood.
The father-son pair 'boasted' about each other's business for a while, and their moods became quite good.
Chu Yue had also expressed his intention.
Zeng Guofan's story was widely spread in later generations, but at this time, other than those who liked to read history books, not many people knew about it.
Chu Jianguo studied the historical records of the Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties. As for the Qing Dynasty, he felt that the Qing Dynasty was a foreign regime, and there were too many incidents of national humiliation in the late Qing Dynasty. He felt stifled when he studied it, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Therefore, this was the first time Chu Jianguo had heard of this story of repeated defeats.
Chu Yue wasn't showing off his culture. He was just tactfully reminding Chu Jianguo to pay attention to his rhetoric.
Since his father wanted to establish his authority as an expert, he didn't pay attention to his rhetoric. In the future, if he was favored by the higher-ups but didn't pay attention to these details, it wouldn't be fun if he was caught by some jealous people.
The official road was more dangerous. Writing materials was a basic ability. One must pay attention to rhetoric. Don't fall into such a place. It would be a pity if one's skills couldn't be used because of small matters.
Chu Yue and his son studied the details of the operation. Suddenly, there was a heavy knock on the door of the study.
"Chu Yue! Chu Jianguo! What's wrong with you two?"
"Chu Yue, didn't I ask you to go see your father and ask him to come out for dinner?”
"What time is it? A demon Chu Jianguo was stunned. He even brought my son into the ditch?”
"The two of you aren't even eating. Are you going to rebel?!”
Tan Hong's angry voice sounded.
"Alright! Your mother is angry. Hurry up and go out. Apologize to your mother and go eat!”
When Chu Jianguo heard this, he quickly pushed Chu Yue and said.
Chu Yue was speechless.
I'm not afraid of my mother. Why are you using me as a shield to apologize?
But forget it. Seeing that his father had indeed been quite tired these past few days, he would help him block the arrows.
Chu Yue sighed and walked out of the door.
……
For dinner, Tan Hong made Chu Yue's favorite stir-fried eggs with chives, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cucumber with meat, and steamed meat with vermicelli.
After Chu Yue earned money, other than changing to a new house and new furniture, his standard of living was also reflected in his food.
In the past, they could only eat meat once a week. Now, they could basically eat meat once a day.
Chu Jianguo was in a good mood and even drank a small glass of wine.
After Chu Yue helped him edit the article, Chu Jianguo knew that it was a done deal when he saw it.
Hence, he relaxed.
"Chu Jianguo, it's almost the New Year. We should still go to Dad's house this year, right? I heard that our dad knows that Xiao Yue has done a lot of big things this year. He thinks that his grandson has done a good job and plans to have a good chat with Chu Yue during the new year.”Tan Hong said as she ate.
Chu Jianguo nodded.
In 1990, the Spring Festival came earlier. January 26th was New Year's Eve, and January 27th was the Spring Festival. It was almost here.
It was Chu Yue's family's habit to go to Old Master Chu Ziqiang's place to celebrate the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve. They would only return home in the middle of the night after having New Year's Eve dinner.
While eating, Chu Jianguo said to Chu Yue,""Chu Yue, get ready. Your grandfather has a lot to ask you.”
