Chapter 91: Savings

Until he left this nameless building, Zhao Guodong was still a little depressed. He was so handsome and vigorous that he was actually a small bureaucrat in the minds of these guys?

It seems that the level of self-reliance of these guys is not generally high. Perhaps it is because Yu Yin from their parents who really made them feel too superior, but this does not mean that they are really useless. At least the ability shown by Chen Dongzhao proves that he has roughly seen the future development direction of the Chinese army.

Seeing that Zhao Guodong seemed a little depressed, Liu Ruotong, who had not spoken much in the passenger seat, couldn't help laughing: "Do you think Chen Dongzhao's words are too mean? His mouth is just like that, sharp as a knife, and his throat is blocked by blood. His college classmates all said that, but after polishing in the army for several years, he has restrained a lot. If it turns out, then you will not be able to withdraw your knife and return it to the sheath without making any sarcasm."

"That's not true. I just think that you people seem to have a stronger sense of superiority, and they are a bit arrogant, as if others are either naughty or a country bumpkin. Only you are the elite wise men who choose from a million. You should know that China's strength is not based on others, but is built bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit." Zhao Guodong said lightly.

Liu Ruotong noticed the sarcasm in Zhao Guodong's words and was slightly stunned: "You think of them too much. Maybe they were a little arrogant intentionally or unintentionally, but they would not be like this to anyone. At least you still prove yourself with your performance."

"Do I need to prove myself in front of them?" Zhao Guodong looked ahead and turned the steering wheel flexibly, asking: "People should not be without pride, but they should not be arrogant. If they use their father's silence to show their superiority, it would be ridiculous."

Liu Ruotong sighed. It seemed that Zhao Guodong didn't have much favorable feelings for these people. Even though Zhao Guodong won their respect, they did not win the respect of Zhao Guodong.

"In your eyes, is it really like they said, a little bureaucrat who is determined to climb up with a dragon and a phoenix?" Zhao Guodong asked suddenly.

"No, from the beginning, I knew that you were not, a true person. No matter how well he concealed it, it could not change its true purpose. I believe my eyes and feelings." Liu Ruotong shook her head and denied, "Maybe some people in our family have this view, but Liu Tuo and Liu Yan both praised your performance, and even thought that you could bring more glory to our Liu family."

Zhao Guodong laughed silently and stopped talking.

He knew that it would not make much sense to explore this issue. The marriage between him and Liu Ruotong was originally a cover, but this cover is becoming more and more realistic now. Even Zhao Guodong himself felt that this marriage also brought him a little stability and peace.

Zhao Guodong could also feel that Liu Ruotong himself seemed to be the same as himself. He no longer cares about this marriage as before, and even had an inexplicable expectation. This complex and delicate mood made the relationship between the two look like a dark river flowing silently in the dark. Neither he nor Liu Ruotong could determine what the outcome of this marriage would be, but it seemed that a brilliant light was revealed inadvertently in the dark clouds, which made people fall in love with it by chance.

"Did you write this article?" Cai Zhengyang thoughtfully pointed to the Economic Daily that was placed on the desk.

"I wrote it." Zhao Guodong nodded.

"It's well written, combining the work of our Ministry of Energy with the Western Development Strategy. Director Jin from the Political Research Office of the State Council called me and asked me who you are." Cai Zhengyang took a breath and leaned on the back of the chair, as if he was considering something. "Guodong, you have been in the Ministry for three months. The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated. How do you feel?"

Zhao Guodong was a little puzzled, why did Cai Zhengyang suddenly ask this question at this time?

"Very good. You can get in touch with a lot of things that you can't get in touch with below, and you can see many problems more far and comprehensively. To be honest, sometimes you feel that you can do something that you can't do below, and you feel that you are very satisfied. But sometimes you feel that what you do is something that cannot be displayed in specific language and pictures. If you change others, you may be able to do it like this. Unlike you who are below, you can always see real things when you do something." Zhao Guodong thought for a while, then he said slowly: "This feeling is very contradictory, but I live a fulfilling life. It is not like I was worried about when I came to the department and became a person who was floating, unable to sink, and unable to do things."

"Guodong, you have to learn this macro way of working. Don't always think about doing one or two specific things. That's a bit too petty, do you know?" Cai Zhengyang smiled and was very tempted. "Your article has a great view of the overall situation. I read it carefully. It is written in a flesh-and-blood manner. It can be both high-level and detailed. Director Jin also praised it. There is also the article "New Energy Confusion" you wrote some time ago. I think it is also thought-provoking. Do you know that even Vice Premier Jianbang is very interested in this article."

"I have been thinking that in the ministry, I have to do things, but I also have to push out some of my ideas and views as much as possible. The development of the western region is of great importance, but I have always felt that although the central government has put forward this strategic concept, it has not come up with many specific measures. In addition to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the province seems to be waiting for the central government to come out in specific measures. I am wondering if our Ministry of Energy can take the lead."

Zhao Guodong said while considering it, Cai Zhengyang nodded and encouraged him to continue talking.

"The western region has abundant resources but the infrastructure is backward. How can our energy department take the lead? First, we must vigorously and reasonably develop hydropower and increase capital investment in the development of the hydropower industry while ensuring the ecological environment. In fact, we have planned a lot of this in the early stage, but it has not been implemented on a large scale. I think we can increase the implementation efforts at this point. Second, it is crucial to increase the construction of energy infrastructure. If the western region is rich in energy, if there is no complete transmission system to transport it out, then no matter how much we invest and how much output we produce in the western region, we will not be able to achieve real benefits. I think we have ignored this in the early stage and should be made up for it immediately."

"The third is that we can combine the development of new energy,..."

Cai Zhengyang was quite satisfied. It seemed that Zhao Guodong had not put aside the past three months, but had truly calmed down to ponder the current situation and development of the energy industry. Not only did he deliver a decent answer, but he was also quite excellent.

Zhao Guodong realized that Cai Zhengyang seemed to have something to explain to him, and the other party's expression was a little strange, which made him very strange.

"Guodong, your views and ideas are very good. If possible, I suggest you take some thought to sort them out and write two detailed papers on the two thesis topics of my country's energy security and new energy development. I want to quote your views and opinions when reporting to Vice Premier Jianbang."

Zhao Guodong was overjoyed.

Cai Zhengyang undoubtedly felt that he was taking advantage of his own opinions in this way, but for Zhao Guodong, if his ideas and intentions can truly become national will, that is the most important thing.

As for these views, they did not belong entirely to me, but also some views that I came up based on the memories of later generations and the various information I have mastered in my current position. If they could help Cai Zhengyang with help, Zhao Guodong would not dare to ask for anything.

"Okay, Brother Cai, when do you need it? If you want to be more detailed, I need to check some information and make up for it." Zhao Guodong nodded and said happily.

"Before March, I want to report to Vice Premier Jianbang before the fifth meeting of the National People's Congress, and then put forward this opinion to discuss it during the meeting so that it can be implemented as soon as possible." Cai Zhengyang also breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had also untied a knot in his heart. "Next year is the last year of this government. I hope to implement some of our ideas and views before resigning as Minister of Energy."

Zhao Guodong nodded silently.

"Guodong, what do you think after next year?" Cai Zhengyang suddenly asked, "Are you planning to continue in the ministry or change the place?"

"Brother Cai, do you want to go down?" Zhao Guodong asked back. Before the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China next year, the central government will undergo a series of adjustments and integrations, which is also an inevitable metabolism. A group of young and strong leading cadres will take higher and more important positions. People like Ningfa, Cai Zhengyang and others will usher in another golden period of politics.

"If there is no accident, I may go down." Cai Zhengyang did not hide much in front of Zhao Guodong. In fact, this is not a secret. He is over 50 years old, and he hopes to have the opportunity to go down and lead a place to join the country for another term. If it goes well, maybe he can take another step, "What about you, what about your plans?"

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." Zhao Guodong answered honestly.
