Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1292 Learn from others

Jiang Jianmin shook his head with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Qiu Zheng is a first-class meritorious official, but he can only receive this first-class merit without doing anything for the rest of his life. If there is no follow-up, that's it. Qiu Yihe has just realized it, but it's too late to promote him. He doesn't have enough qualifications. There's only one position for each person, and the good positions have already been taken."

After hearing these words, Jiang Cheng suddenly understood and grasped the profound meaning contained in them.

He blurted out: "So, Uncle Qiu doesn't object to you sending someone to take care of him. Does he want to rely on you?"

When Jiang Jianmin heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng gently.

Seeing the gorilla not far away roaring at them, Jiang Jianmin stretched out a finger and pointed at him, signaling him not to speak.

The hairy body of the gorilla looks particularly large and powerful.

However, when he saw Jiang Jianmin's gesture, he suddenly stood up quickly as if he had received some kind of instruction.

Then, the gorilla actually began to imitate humans.

He raised a strong arm and saluted respectfully in the direction of Jiang Jianmin and Jiang Cheng.

Seeing this funny scene, Jiang Cheng was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Imitating the gorilla's movements, Jiang Cheng also returned a not-so-standard military salute.

"This gorilla must have seen this action too often."

Jiang Jianmin looked at Jiang Cheng's mischievous appearance and started laughing too.

After the laughter, his tone unconsciously carried a hint of emotion.

"Even animals can imitate others, let alone us humans. When we were young, your Uncle Qiu and I were really good friends. The last thing we wanted to become was someone like your grandfather, who had a hundred and eighty tricks in his head."

Having said that, Jiang Jianmin lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But now, it's my turn to be in this situation. I understand that the young man had no choice but to slay the dragon. The reason why I think ten steps ahead is not only to grasp and balance the power center, but also a kind of self-protection."

Jiang Cheng nodded in understanding.

It is said that the business world is like a battlefield, and one’s carelessness can lead to the destruction of one’s family and life.

What’s more, it’s a power struggle involving my own grandfather.

Since entering society after graduating from college, my grandfather has been overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles before gradually reaching the pinnacle of his life.

My grandfather walked this road for more than 40 years.

If we had taken even one wrong step during these forty years, we would never have been able to reach our current heights.

After reaching the peak, it took him nearly 25 years to maintain the honor of the Jiang family.

Over the past sixty years, if the Jiang family had not had strong minds and means, they would have probably fallen into decline long ago.

"Dad, you should do what fits your position. Don't feel any psychological burden. As you said just now, this is also a good thing for Uncle Qiu. It may be what he wished for." Jiang Cheng comforted him.

Jiang Jianmin nodded slightly, his eyes flickering as if hiding endless thoughts.

That complex emotion permeated his tone like smoke.

"Yes, maybe your Uncle Qiu feels the same as I do now... I still regard him as my best brother, but now, our brotherhood is mixed with other things. After we separated, your Uncle Qiu didn't look for me on purpose until now, when the incident happened, and he kept asking me for information from various sources."

My father has been away from the troubles for more than ten years.

It is not easy to remain calm when faced with so many things all of a sudden.

If he hadn't mentioned it to me today.

How could Jiang Cheng have imagined that beneath all the sorrow and cherishment shown by his father and Qiu Zheng when they reunited after a long separation, they actually had such a hidden calculation between them.

I could hear a hint of loss in my father's words.

Jiang Cheng comforted.

"Uncle Qiu wants to find a reliable backer for Qiu Yihe. He knows a lot about your past. He knows that if he takes the initiative to find you, you will definitely show up."

Jiang Jianmin took over the conversation, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"That's right. He knows I won't do anything to him. Instead, I will definitely help him. When your Uncle Qiu was fine, he still had his cousin to rely on. But now, he has become like this. If his cousin is gone, what else can he give Xiao He except a family of first-class heroes? If this continues, each generation will be worse than the previous one."

After a short silence, Jiang Cheng asked, "In that case, what kind of work do you plan to assign to Uncle Qiu?"

Jiang Jianmin thought for a while, then responded slowly.

"He is so good at flying. If he can't take the practical class, he can give some students theoretical lessons. Your grandfather will send someone to take care of him and help him 24 hours a day."

Jiang Cheng knew very well that Qiu Zheng was actually willing to accept this so-called "care".

After all, this was the decision he made to surrender to the Jiang family.

"What about Qiu Yihe?" Jiang Cheng asked immediately.

Jiang Jianmin just smiled slightly, and his words seemed to contain some deep meaning.

"Your grandfather meant to arrange a job for her in Kyoto, but she is too young and hasn't figured it out yet. Let her do what she wants for now. I'll give your Uncle Qiu a promotion first. His father has a high position, so it will be a help to her."

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng did not intend to continue discussing this topic in depth.

After all, he knew his father too well.

The reason why Jiang Jianmin told this matter was simply because he wanted to find someone to talk to.

In fact, my father has always treated Qiu Zheng sincerely.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and enjoyed the fresh air in the garden.

He sighed: "Everyone says Kyoto has serious smog, but I think the air here is much fresher than that in Shanghai."
