"Is it about Guyu?" Li Yuanlong asked.

"Ask a question knowingly." Bai Qing slowly turned around and said to Li Yuanlang: "In the future, please do not interfere with any way I do to Guyu. This is the basic condition for me to raise Guyu."

“Is there any more?”

"Yes." Bai Qing said coldly: "If he complains to you, you must trust me, not speak to him, and not trust him in a partial way."

Li Yuanlang said unhappily: "I think you're a little bit of a big deal. Guyu is scheming. We have to influence him with actions. For example, just now, you forced him to speak to you and bow to you."

"He is only five years old. Even though he has been away from me for three years, he is still a child in mind. Wife, Yuanyuan, you took it away, and Zheng Li is gone. Now beside me, there is only one child like him."

"You have to understand me. To be honest, no matter how Guyu treats me, I think it is all right, because I owe him too much, too much..."

Bai Qing shook her head helplessly, "Yuan Long, your heart is too soft, this is your biggest shortcoming. If a man wants to achieve his career, he must have the perseverance and determination to stop him."

"This point of yours just shows that you are not mature enough and lack cruelty."

"Cruel?" Li Yuanlang couldn't help but shake his head, "Bai Qing, now is a harmonious society, don't use the feudal emperor's style on me and my son."

"I always believe that blood is thicker than water. As long as I treat Guyu with sincerity, he will sooner or later understand me and be influenced by my actual actions."

"Human hearts are grown by flesh, not stones. I believe that in time, he... will make changes."

Li Yuanlang became more and more excited, turned around and walked out. Suddenly he thought of something, turned around and said to Bai Qing, "I think it's better to stay by my side, you don't have to worry about him."

Then he walked out of the room angrily and went to see Guyu.

Bai Qing frowned and bit her lips hard, and kept breathing heavily.

The Spring Festival is coming, and the Lu family is in a peaceful and festive atmosphere, but because Li Yuanlang and Bai Qing have awkward relationship, even though the family gathered together in the evening, they were still tasteless.

Lu Linsong had insight into everything. He was always observing Guyu. During the meal, he only asked Guyu a word. After Guyu answered casually, Lu Linsong stopped asking.

Li Yuanlang saw something wrong, so he took the initiative to go to Lu Linsong's room after dinner. When he made tea for him, Lu Linsong waved his hand, "Don't be busy, I won't drink tea at night and I can't sleep."

After Li Yuanlang sat down, Lu Linsong asked with concern: "Are you having a quarrel with Xiaoqing?"

"Yes, because we have differences in dealing with Guyu."

"Yeah." Lu Linsong nodded slightly, "I had guessed that this little guy came here to lay the unstable factors for our family."

Li Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat and quickly explained, "I'm going to bring Guyu back to Deping and not let him give it to you, causing trouble here."

Lu Linsong was calm and did not get angry, and said calmly: "Don't understand the mistake, I have no idea to drive him away."

"If I want to drive him away, I will not agree to Xiaoqing raising him. Yuen Long, I understand your feelings. I will tell you that I have made the same mistakes as you."

"Just say Xiang Jun, he has left me for many years and suddenly returned to me. I just wanted to return all the debts I owe over the years to him."

"Everything goes with him, even if he disrespects me, I will accept and forgive him. It is a big mistake to do so."

"What's the final result? You know, I still lost him."

At this moment, a hint of sadness appeared in Lu Linsong's eyes.

Li Yuanlang pulled a few tissues and handed them over.

Lu Linsong shook his hand and refused.

"Yuen Long, I have something to ask you, you must tell me the truth."

"You ask."

Lu Linsong said slowly: "I have been on stage for many years. Do you think I am a qualified leader?"

Li Yuanlang was stunned, and was really shocked by Lu Linsong's words.

He never thought about this kind of topic, let alone express his opinions.

"Dad, this...I haven't considered it."

"You can consider it now. You can consider it now."

"I..." Li Yuanlang was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Li Yuanlang appearing embarrassed, Lu Linsong smiled, "You need not say anything, I understand."

"But I didn't say anything."

"If you don't say it doesn't mean you have no idea. If I'm qualified, you don't have to hesitate."

Lu Linsong continued: "Actually, I have been thinking about this question. I have never thought about it before. Since I started writing my memoirs, I suddenly had the idea, what did Lu Linsong do for everyone in the past ten years?"

"Are they just the slogans mentioned? Every leader in this position will naturally put forward his own ruling philosophy, and no one is exceptional."

"Just like my previous evaluation, what are the people's lives better, the economy has taken off, and the world has become more influential. I don't think that is a compliment to me."

"No matter who it is, society develops to this extent, it will push society forward, which is a historical law."

"It's not only Lu Linsong, but also Wang Linsong and Li Linsong."

"However, compared with my ex, including Comrade Han Qi, I am still much worse. At least, the political legacy I left will be buried in the ** in a few years, with the wheel of history, and no one will mention it."

"This means that I was not successful, I failed."

"I asked myself, where was my failure? What caused me to fail? I have figured it out now. My failure ultimately depends on my weakness in character, and I do not have the determination to dare to think and do, and dare to take on everything! The cruelty to dare to challenge authority!"

"Those who achieve great things must be cruel. Looking at the history of thousands of years, no one of the great people who have been remembered for generations has this cruelty."

"As long as you have this cruelty, you can make the right choice at the moment of decision-making. In fact, it can be understood from two aspects: being cruel to one's life can achieve great things forever. being cruel to one's work can bring you all the best."

"Just say that our older generation has relied on this cruelty to exchange for decades of peaceful development and our happy life today."

"Yuen Long, I'm telling you this to tell you a truth. When doing big things, don't worry about the love between children, look at the long-term perspective, and distinguish everyone from the small family."

"When it comes to life and death, you must know how to make choices and have firm determination. Your temporary efforts will bring you long-term stability and prosperity."

"Some people may say that I, Lu Linsong, is a good person and an honest person. I do not deny this. In terms of moral character, I am qualified. But in terms of management, I am mediocre and can be said to be mediocre."

"Otherwise, Comrade Han Qi criticized me in person at the meeting, and I was quite angry at that time. But when I think about it carefully, what he said makes sense. I agree, and I accept it."

"I'm talking to you tonight, not to excuse Xiaoqing, but to change your political wisdom. Don't be like me, in the end, nothing is left, only regrets."

Lu Linsong said a lot in one breath, which was enough for Li Yuanlang to digest it for a while.

Seeing that he was a little tired, Li Yuanlong offered to leave at the right time.

After standing in the corridor for a long time, smoking a few cigarettes in a row, Li Yuanlang thought about Lu Linsong's words.

Finally, he threw half of the cigarette butt into the ashtray and walked silently to his wife's bedroom.

He knocked on the door gently, and Bai Qing’s clear voice came from inside: “The door is not locked.”

Bai Qing was not asleep yet and was waiting for him.

"Qingqing is asleep?" Li Yuanlang stretched his neck and looked into the inner bedroom.

"He slept, and your son Guyu slept, too. Fang Wenya always stayed with him."

Li Yuanlang sat down next to Bai Qing and sighed, "Wife, I'm not good about you during the day."

"Are you forced by your father to admit your mistake, or are you apologizing from the bottom of your heart?"

Li Yuanlang shook his head and said, "Dad didn't force me, he just talked about his own experience, so that I could understand a truth. Officials should have the determination and will to give up everything."

"What's the meaning?"

"This kind of choice is related to family affection, just like Guyu now." Li Yuanlang blamed himself: "Wife, the fundamental reason why I apologize to you is that I refuse to accept reality."
