Seeing him getting angry, Old Li smiled, just like an old man who had been full of vicissitudes of life looking at the ignorant naughty boy, "First of all, you don't have perseverance. What are you doing to come to Longcheng for? You can't stay there for only two months. You have no perseverance. If I were your girlfriend's parents, I wouldn't agree. Think about it, if you leave like this, her family will look down on you even more. People wouldn't agree at first, and they would even give your daughter to you?"

Wen Guangyao was a little silent. Old Li looked at him and continued, "Of course, you have advantages, and you have many advantages. You value friendship, talent, kindness, and ability. You are also very prestigious among young teachers, but one can make you achieve nothing."

Wen Guangyao saw him praising him and was about to be modest, but he didn't expect Lao Li to suddenly change his tone again. He was stunned for a moment, "Which one?"

"Apride!" Lao Li said with his eyes as if he was just like a regular one, "Maybe you are young, sometimes you find that you are not in control and cannot hide your emotions. You respect the teacher you like from the bottom of your heart, and the teacher you look down on will show a perfunctory expression. Everyone is not stupid. Anyone will see it over time, which makes some teachers and leaders in the school very disgusted."

Wen Guangyao was stunned. Just as he thought that Lao Li's words were not unreasonable, Lao Li continued, "You can think about it this time and you will figure it out thoroughly." His tone and expression were very different from the past.

Wen Guangyao was shocked, "Did anyone say bad things during the inspection? I didn't have any conflicts with anyone." This question was like a thorn, which has been pierced in his heart these days, and it hurts him from time to time.

Old Li picked up the fly swatter and slapped a fly on the table with a "slap". He swattered the fly swattered by the trash can, and the flies' corpse rolled into the bucket. "When something happened, you must first find the reason from yourself. Ao Shang is a big taboo in the agency. If I were the leader, such people would not be recruited from municipal agencies, so you can't be more talented than you."

He looked at Wen Guangyao and continued, "In the place where intellectuals gather, there is no wind and waves. Whenever you make every move, people with ulterior motives will become irritating."

Wen Guangyao asked anxiously, "Have Principal Xu told the inspection team?"

Old Li looked a little disappointed. He sighed, "I have no direct contact with Principal Xu and I don't know him, but if it were me and I am the principal, I would also say this. This is the responsibility of a first-level leader, and it is also responsible to your superiors. If you are responsible to you, you can't blame anyone, you can only blame yourself."

Old Li's words were a little ruthless, and Wen Guangyao couldn't help but feel silent. Old Li drank a sip of water and stopped talking, allowing him to collide violently.

After pausing for a while, Old Li continued to strike while the iron was hot, "No matter what you do in the future, you will always have a leader above you. If you are the section chief, there is the director, there is the director above you, and there is the governor above you, and there is someone above you, and there is no control over any level. You can't contradict the leader. It's better to meet a leader with a broad mind, but how could there always be such a good thing?"

Wen Guangyao agreed with Lao Li's words, "Then what should you say I do?"

Lao Li looked at him, "You must learn to control your emotions and learn to respect your leaders. If you are too angry, you will make wrong decisions and make them easy for people to use them." A hint of pain appeared on his face, but it passed away in a flash.

Wen Guangyao did not notice Lao Li's emotions, "The shortcomings can be changed slowly, but I feel that I am not suitable for township cadres."

Old Li took out a cigarette and handed it over. Wen Guangyao subconsciously took it, "China?"

Old Li didn't explain and took out a lighter to light it for him, "If the shoes fit, you will know if you wear them yourself? How do you know that the township is not suitable for you? New shoes have to be worn for four or five days before they fit."

"The day you go out of college and formally enter society, the ten years after this day are the key to your life. In these ten years, the faster you can correct your shortcomings and adapt to society, the sooner you can succeed. At the township level, you can quickly get rid of your edges and smooth your personality. For you, being divided into townships is not necessarily a bad thing."

"If you can eliminate this kind of compromise and change your shortcomings as soon as possible, you will be mature. Otherwise, if you are not in the township and return to Liangang City, you will be confused and unstable. The confusion and swaying of the first ten years will cause panic in ten years, struggle in twenty years, and even mediocrity in life, so don't waste a minute or a second, and choose the right path and go firmly."

At this time, Lao Li could no longer see the expression of a conveyor master, but he was like a department leader who specialized in student ideological work in college.

His words brought great psychological impact to Wen Guangyao. When he walked back to the dormitory, he was still recalling his words, "If you can't make up your mind yet, you can ask the person you trust the most, haha, the person you admire the most, listen to what he says."

Yes, why didn’t I call my class teacher Zhou Jianhua? Wen Guangyao became a little excited. In four years in college, he not only served as Wen Guangyao’s class teacher, but also as a counselor in the department. Whether in terms of character, academic research or ability, he is the person Wen Guangyao admires the most.

When Wen Guangyao was in his sophomore year, he was named an associate professor. He was only twenty-eight years old that year. On the eve of graduation, there was a news that he might have to be the deputy director of the department.

As for the head of the department, Guo Shaogui, who wanted him to stay in school so much, but when he came to Longcheng, he still felt a little embarrassed to face this old man who was both a teacher and a father.

He looked at his watch and the hour hand was already pointing at eleven o'clock. Forget it, let's try again tomorrow morning.

He is very familiar with Zhou Jianhua's daily routines and must go to the playground to run when he wakes up in the morning. He often tells Wen Guangyao, "Fitness is a quality. Fitness represents a vigorous culture. A country, a family, and a person are energetic, and see how many people are working out and whether they are fit."

In the morning, Wen Guangyao also came to the playground. After running with the students for a few laps, he called Zhou Jianhua.

Zhou Jianhua answered the phone panting, and he was still very happy when he heard the sound.

Wen Guangyao briefly explained his situation in the past two months, and poured out his depression. Zhou Jianhua's breathing was evenly matched.

"Do you still remember Liu Hongyun?"

"Remember," Wen Guangyao replied immediately. Liu Hongyun was in the student union for two classes and was in the department. He had a good relationship with Wen Guangyao, but after graduation he went directly to teach in Tibet.

"Last year Zhou Hongyun wrote to me, and I also told you about your situation. She sent me Hada and ringing the bell. Judging from the photos in the letter, she has adapted to the environment in Tibet and lived a good life. You know, I really encourage you to go to the grassroots level and go to hard places to temper yourself." Zhou Jianhua's voice was like a crisscrossing of gold and stone, very textured.

"Although the township level is at the grassroots level, in the eyes of those people in the state ministries and commissions, Longcheng City is also at the grassroots level, and even Hong Kong City is at the grassroots level. The general trend of the country is that all cadres in the future need to have grassroots work experience. It is not necessarily a bad thing for you to take this step, nor is it bad. The current selection of candidates should also start from the township first."

"Do you think I'm suitable for politics?" Wen Guangyao was still a little hesitant.

"It's suitable for students to come out, and there is no problem with organizational and coordination skills." Zhou Jianhua answered affirmatively.

After hearing what Zhou Jianhua said, Wen Guangyao's suspicion was slowly removed, "Teacher, what should I do at the grassroots level and in the township?"

Zhou Jianhua smiled and said, "You are not a formal staff member now, but just a secondment teacher. First of all, you must solve the secondment status, whether you are taking the civil service exam or other channels."

"The second thing is that you are already a staff member. The habits in the school cannot be brought to society. You are no longer the president of the student union. You cannot just command others. You have to do everything yourself. You have to be ahead of everything. You have to do it well and you have to win the first place. The first place is impressive, and there will not be too many people who remember the second place."

"The third is to go deep into the grassroots. The grassroots are the places closest to the masses and are the best at tempering people. Mr. Fei Xiaotong wrote in the beginning of "Rural China" that from the grassroots perspective, Chinese society is rural. If you can deal with the people, you can deal with anyone. The skills you have learned at the grassroots level will benefit the rest of your life. Do you believe it?"

Wen Guangyao nodded quickly, "I believe, I believe."

Zhou Jianhua continued, "There is a line in "Journey to the West" that is well-sung. You dare to ask where the road is, and the road is at your feet. Now, in Longcheng, you can be said to have no relatives. You are a road in Huashan, and you must continue. Knife needs to be sharpened, steel needs to be pressed, and people need to be experienced. Hardships can best hone a person's will. If you survive the most difficult times, you will not be able to crush you in the future. You can be calm and advance without any difficulties."

Wen Guangyao seemed to have returned to the campus, as if he was under the poplar trees of the Normal School again. Zhou Jianhua was talking to him, and his ideas were completely influenced by him. This kind of recognition and admiration for others' opinions from the bottom of his heart.

"Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few steps in the critical aspects, especially when people are young, Guangyao, you see, you graduated from college and entered school teaching, this time you selected the agency and started from the township, which are all important places. Even the first day of your work yesterday was very important. You have taken good steps and adjusted your mentality. You must grasp every critical point, and your life will be very different..."

People will always encounter some words in their lives. When they meet some people, they will suddenly move you inadvertently and then change your life. Before you meet them, you will live in these words without understanding before you meet them. It is like traveling in the dark night. Once you encounter them, you will live in these words for the rest of your life or at a certain stage in your life.

When Zhou Jianhua hung up the phone, Wen Guangyao was still thinking about his words, "If you are busy with work, you should read more Chinese studies and read more about the party's theories. It is useless if you have more knowledge and it is useless if you have mastered theories. The key is to truly do it, practice, and integrate knowledge and action."
