A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 366 Smooth sailing
For Li Xiang, getting married seemed to have put an elevator on the road ahead for him.

In the days that followed, whether it was life or work, everything went smoothly, which made him feel terrible.

After he married Qiu Fanghua, he moved out of the courtyard.

Although large courtyards tend to help each other, if given the choice, most people would still rather live in a separate courtyard.

After being far away from the courtyard, I no longer have to be cautious and have a lot less troubles coming to my door.

With Li Xiang's current status and the little secret he has, relaxation and tranquility are what he needs most at the moment.

Speaking of which, it was difficult for him.

The Li family themselves had few things to worry about.

But no matter what period of time, everyone seems to agree that the person with the highest status has the power to judge.

After living in the courtyard for so many years, Li Xiang's status continued to rise.

Li Xiang wonders how many other people in the family enjoy this kind of power to make decisions for others.

It is conceivable that under such a collision of thoughts, Li Xiang, who was wanted, did not have an easy life on the spiritual level due to many things.

But sometimes you really can't help yourself.

Perhaps for most of them, everything you can do is easy without risking your life or losing your fortune.

If the character is decent, this kind of interaction will develop in an upward and good direction.

Sometimes it is passive, sometimes it is active.

At first, Li Xiang and his family tried to stay out of the incident as much as possible.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a small favor.

But he was a little uneasy.

If something happens in the courtyard and nearby neighbors, no matter good or bad, they will come to the Li family to help solve it.

Modern and current people may have different understandings of what can be done with a little effort.

But if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

There seems to be room for choice, but the final result is that one cannot escape or avoid being involved.

For Li Xiang, who has modern ideas, it is a simple matter of helping me without wasting my time and energy.

People nowadays think that if you are so rich, have such a high official position, and have such great ability, within your authority, it is just a matter of one, two or three. How simple.

Owing favors and returning favors is a delicate matter.

It is not a one-time transaction that can be settled by repaying one debt. With repeated help and repayment, it can easily become a dispute where you owe me and I owe you.

There are many examples of people who have flaws in their character and become enemies.

Li Xiang and his family have been trapped in this cycle of interpersonal relationships in the past.

Who made the Li family poor in the past? They had received favors from many people.

Modern people are accustomed to leaving enough space and leeway for themselves, and most of them choose to help others without wasting their time. For example, after seeing a donation video of a vulnerable group, donating a hundred or so yuan, or meeting a poor salesperson. Vegetable vendors, help with digestion, give up seats on the bus to those who need them more, etc.

But since leaving the Siheyuan, the distance alone can prevent most of the things that come to her door like this.

Now, the time after get off work every day belongs only to him and his wife.

In the world of two people, it’s hard to even think about being unhappy~
In addition, at work, the two projects he participated in this year have achieved decisive results.

Computers have become, and so have pen refills.

The success of these two projects is a major breakthrough for the country, both externally and internally.

Li Xiang also received these two rewards.

Although the computer project was profitable, the rewards were better than nothing for a person like Li Xiang who was used to receiving rewards. But the emergence of high-precision pen refills not only adds another category to earn foreign exchange, but also announces to the world that Chinese manufacturing has begun to explore and advance in a higher direction, no longer staying in the "big old and rough" stage of the past. .

Li wants to be soft on the rewards for this project.

Originally, he thought that the above would probably do the same thing as before, using material rewards to silence him.

The promotion thing is probably out of the question again.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the year, level 14 officially opened the door to him.

As soon as spring began in the second year, the promotion order to deputy director came down.

In 1971, Li Xiang was 26 years old.

. . . . . .

When Sun Guoqing followed Li Xiang, he couldn't say that chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, but the benefits were not lost.

Now he is only one step away from the formal level.

In the workplace, if Zheng Ke is not present, he will be regarded as Sun Ke by others.

Recently he has been thinking about whether to stay or develop in a different direction.

The pros and cons of staying are there.

The advantage is that if you follow Li Xiang, your credit will be stable, you won't have to worry about lack of performance, and you can still show your face in front of the big leaders from time to time.

The bad thing is that in the past few years, Li Xiang probably hasn't had to move here anymore.

They are two grasshoppers in the same line. Li Xiang can't move, so he has no big drama to sing here.

If it is delayed for two or three years because of deputy promotion, it will be a bit of a loss.

Li wanted to remind him of this issue.

Some second and third generations are actually not very career-minded.

Especially with family harmony, I am used to growing up under the protection of my elders.

In addition, Sun Guoqing had made an appointment with his family to be promoted to section chief and then change lines.

Although Mr. Sun and his father were a little anxious, seeing that Sun Guoqing was busy with projects that could shock all parties, they were patient and respectful and did not take the initiative to rush him.

Sun Guoqing is used to staying in his comfort zone.

The tacit understanding and comfort of working with Li Xiang made his already low self-motivation drop a bit.

"You'd better go back and think more about it. If you can't make up your mind, ask your father and your father for their opinions. Anyway, I think it would be a waste of time to delay the transition from deputy to full-time officer for two or three years." Li Xiang advised. .

However, only people like him and Sun Guoqing can think of this without backache.

Precisely because we have resources, we feel that it takes two or three years to become a full-time employee, which is too slow.

But you must know that for many people, ten or eight years is not a long time on the road to becoming a full-time deputy, and some people even spend decades.

Isn't it like this for Uncle Gu, who begged to come to the Sun family in order to become a regular member of the family?

The Sun family didn't care, so he could only continue to spin around on top of his deputy.

I don’t know if I can get another real opportunity before retiring.

"I don't even have to think about whether I believe what you say. I just feel a little frightened when I think about having to work by myself in the future." Sun Guoqing looked confused. His current mood was similar to that of a student who has just graduated and has to face The new job is the same.

It's all because Li Xiang spoiled him and dragged him to do things together since he was a student.

Sun Guoqing was now like a domesticated house sparrow, unprepared for being suddenly released by his master.

Facing the unknown sky, it is normal for him to feel timid.
