Chapter 2698 2700 [You can rest when you are proud]

  Jin Runzhi's departure caused an uproar in the upper class of the capital, and Jin Quan, the prime minister, received a lot of criticism.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan married Bai Xiuzhu, making the Jin family and the Bai family allies. With mutual support, the situation is not too ugly.

  However, affected by this, Jin Quan's prestige has indeed dropped a lot, and he has provided a lot of bullets to his political opponents, which has made him haggard a lot in recent days.

   "Father, although you are sad about Sixth Sister, your body is still the most important thing." Xiang Nante instructed the kitchen, stewed a cup of tonic and brought it to Jin Quan.

   "Hey, if Runzhi is as sensible as you, why am I still so troubled?" Jin Quan sighed.

   "Father, misfortune is where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortune lies. Maybe it's not a bad thing for Sixth Sister to run away." Xiang Nan comforted again.

   "Oh?! Why do you say that, what reason do you have?" Jin Quan was taken aback and asked curiously.

   "Then please forgive me for being outspoken." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said.

   "Let's talk." Jin Quan nodded.

  Xiang Nan then explained in detail the advantages of the new party in the south and the disadvantages of the Beiyang government. For him, this matter is not a secret, it is written in modern history.

  "The ancient families were good at long betting. During the Three Kingdoms period, although Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Dan were brothers of the same clan, they served for different forces. No matter which side wins, the Zhuge family will survive.

   Now it is not a bad thing for Sixth Sister to go to the south. With her knowledge, talent, and courage, she may not fail to make a career. "Xiang Nan explained.

   "It's a joke. Could it be that our Jin family has degenerated to the point where we have to rely on her to maintain our facade and continue the incense?" Jin Quan sneered after listening.

   "Of course not, but multiple choices are always good." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Father, the current political situation is precarious, and even the president is in danger. We have multiple choices.

   There is a saying in the art of war, not to think about victory, but to pre-defeat. If you don't think about advancing, think about retreating first. In fact, our Jin family has reached its peak if we can become the prime minister, and we should consider retreating next.

   It is advisable to retreat first when you are deeply in favor, and you can rest when you are proud. A person's ability is judged not by how high he can jump, but by how low he can squat. "

  The so-called political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Although the Kim family has connections in the military, they do not control the army after all, and the honor and disgrace are all tied to the president. Therefore, once the president collapses, the position of prime minister is bound to be lost.

  The president of the Beiyang government is purely a product of compromise between all parties, and its foundation is not solid. The longest is only three or four years.

   Therefore, the position of prime minister seems to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people, with infinite glory, but in fact it may be dismissed at any time. Just like last time, if you say it's free, it's free, there's no room for negotiation.

  So in Xiang Nan's opinion, it's time for Jin Quan to think about the way out. Don't be so attached to fame and fortune, and don't go to Lianzhan. Once the prime minister is lost at that time, the whole person will collapse in one fell swoop.

  …

   "It's all a child's idea, naive." After Jin Quan heard this, he smiled and said, "Retirement, how can it be so easy to get it back. Besides, if you resign, how will you maintain your huge family business?"

"Father, it's really not easy to retire. You have to let go of your hard-earned foundation and the fame and fortune in your heart." Xiang Nan persuaded, "But if you are willing to give up, you can gain something. Since you have to retire sooner or later, why not make a plan early so as not to dig a well when thirsty.

   Besides, there are minor faults and major faults. With our family's assets, after you retire, you can be an apartment no matter what. I don't think it's a bad idea to cut off those extravagant enjoyments. "

"Yanxi, you have such insights, and I am very happy for my father." Jin Quan nodded, and then sighed, "It's a pity that you are still young and your prestige is not enough. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money for my father to appoint you as his successor." alright."

  If Xiang Nan is the eldest son, he will be the same age as Jin Fengju. With his ability, vision, and his own support, he has long been the deputy chief.

  Even if he retires, with the only contacts left, he can be promoted to the position of chief executive. At that time, if he is lucky, he can be promoted one step higher, then the position of the Jin family will be preserved, and he is willing to step down even if he steps down.

   It's a pity that none of the first three sons of the Jin family are promising, and they still only rely on his blessing to get a job in the agency. Once he is no longer the prime minister, none of them will be able to keep their jobs.

  Although the daughters of the Jin family are educated, thoughtful, and capable, it is a pity that they are all daughters. Xiang Nan, the only one who is capable and male, is too young now.

  Only twenty years old, it is too young to be a staff member in an agency. It will take more than ten years for him to climb to the position of prime minister, even if he is promoted once a year.

"Father, the century-old foundation of the Jin family has been passed down to this day, and it is indeed of great significance." Xiang Nan smiled, "But now, there are major changes unseen in thousands of years. The emperor is long gone, and the princes and nobles have lost their jobs. You Why expect too much."

  The last few generations of the Jin family were indeed high-ranking officials, and the lowest were second-rank officials. But so what. Now in the Republic of China, even the emperor is gone. Jin Quan still wants to keep the position of prime minister, and the father will pass on the son, and the son will pass on the grandson. Isn't it just daydreaming and whimsical.

   Hearing what he said, Jin Quan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, "Forget it, it seems that I am really old. My vision and knowledge are not as good as your generation.

  It seems that what Confucius said is indeed correct, young people should refrain from sex, adults should refrain from fighting, and old people should refrain from sex. I pride myself on my family background, extensive knowledge and record, and I have even forgotten the teachings of my master. "

   "Father, it's not too late to make amends." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "It's better to make plans before it's too late."

   Jin Quan nodded.

  …

  Xiang Nan's long conversation with Jin Quan was a way to get rid of his knots, and he no longer cared about Jin Runzhi's departure as he used to.

   Even told Mrs. Jin that if her daughter calls back and needs help, she must try her best to support her.

   "It's a good day at home, but it's difficult to go out. She doesn't know how much she suffers outside." Jin Quan said.

   "Master, it's good that you don't blame her." Mrs. Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw what he said.

   These days, because of Runzhi's departure, even she has been criticized a lot, saying that she doesn't know how to discipline her children, which led to the current disaster.

   Now that Jin Quan no longer pursued the matter, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   "There is no overnight feud between father and son." Jin Quan waved his hands and said, "It's just that she is still young, and she doesn't have much experience in the world. She doesn't know much about military affairs. I am worried that she will be deceived."

   "Yes, master, I am also worried about this." Mrs. Jin nodded.

   "Master, why don't you send someone to look for it?" Second Aunt suggested.

   "No need, everyone has their own destiny." Jin Quan waved his hand.

  Since Runzhi has left, unless she seeks help herself, she should not contact her again. This is good for her and good for the Jin family.
