Chapter 23 Should go out
When Ye Kai came back from the old man, he rolled up half a pound of tea.
It would be fine if it was ordinary tea, but this is the best special mercury Dahongpao, which doesn’t have a few pounds a year. It’s basically all entered the big house and can’t be seen on the market.
Mr. Ye himself doesn’t like drinking tea very much, so it’s a waste to put this thing on him.
It happened to happen that Ye Kai would not be polite, and even the tea box was rolled away.
When he returned home, his father and mother were there, which surprised Ye Kai.
"Dad, mom..." Ye Kai greeted him honestly and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
My father Ye Ziping was only forty years old, with a handsome appearance and a powerful sitting there watching TV.
Her mother, Meng Zhaohua, also came from a famous family. At the age of 38, she looked only in her early thirties, and there was no trace of time cutting and axe on her face. Although the Meng family was not a political family, she was a scholarly family and a big figure. Nowadays, some people were engaged in business, some were political, and some were also scholars, which were much more prosperous than the Ye family.
"Why did you come back so late? Well, what did you take?" Ye Ziping saw what was in Ye Kai's hand and asked casually.
"Grandpa called me to go for dinner and rolled his tea leaves back." Ye Kai took out the tea box and put it on the tea table.
Ye Ziping stood up as soon as he saw it, and suddenly said in surprise, "Why did the old man's best big red robe come into your hands?"
Then he realized, "You went to Ouchi?!"
"The old man sent a car to pick me up. He also met Comrade Fang He in the middle, and then had a meal at his grandfather's place." Ye Kai replied.
"You are causing trouble? No, if you cause trouble, how could you keep you for dinner? And you also took you to meet Comrade Fang He..." Ye Ziping was also confused, not knowing what was going on.
But no matter what, tea is indeed the old man's best big red robe. Ye Ziping has seen the tea box many times and is too familiar with it. But the old man doesn't like drinking tea himself, but he will never give tea to others. Although Ye Ziping was very angry with the old man's tea, he never thought that he could take it for himself.
This kind of thing can be considered by Ye Kai, the grandson.
Ye Kai naturally did not dare to tell the story of his conspiracy with the second old man Ye Xiangkun, nor did he dare to tell Ye Ziping about his relationship with Zhong Liyu. He just said that the old man missed his grandson, so Ye Kai entered the country.
Ye Ziping did not doubt Ye Kai's words, but when he heard Comrade Fang He's visit, he couldn't help but think more, "Some people in the department have indeed made a little too much trouble, so it is inevitable that Comrade Fang He is angry."
"You should not get involved in this kind of thing," Meng Zhaohua said from the side.
Ye Ziping said with a sneer, "I am basically marginalized now, just doing some specific work. It's not my turn to speak in the overall situation. But this is good, so it won't be difficult to do it in the middle."
If you change any department, Ye Ziping would not feel so embarrassed. But it is the propaganda department and the mouthpiece of public opinion. The role of this side is too great, and people from all walks of life are staring at it. As the representative of the old Ye family here, Ye Ziping's tendency is naturally very important.
But what can Ye Ziping say in this sensitive period? The old Ye family's consistent position must always be maintained, which was decided by the old man and cannot be changed.
In this country, not only reformists and conservatives are needed, but also neutralists are needed.
The so-called neutral faction is not about not caring about anything or having no attitude, but a kind of stability force. Only with those who do things in detail can the entire political system run smoothly and avoid major turmoil due to political disputes.
Comrade Fang He and Comrade Chu Feng, what they controlled was the direction of the entire ship, and the neutral faction represented by the Lao Ye family was a powerful driving force to ensure that the ship continued to move forward.
When Ye Kai thought of this question, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's not easy for everyone.
"Dad, since you are not happy in the publicity, you might as well go out and take a look, or it is easier to achieve results in the local area. Why bother with them here and sue?" Ye Kai suddenly made a suggestion to Ye Ziping.
"What are the things that children say about adults?" Meng Zhaohua knocked Ye Kai's head, and then said to Ye Ziping, "But Xiao Kai's words are not unreasonable. If you have your conditions, it will not be a big problem."
"The old man may not agree." Although Ye Ziping was a little moved, he shook his head and said.
Ye Ziping was guarding the propaganda department and occupied the position of deputy minister, which naturally had the meaning of an old man. After all, the importance of the propaganda system is self-evident. Even if you cannot master this weapon, you should have the awareness of participating and it is impossible to completely give up this position.
Although Ye Ziping is relatively low-key in the Propaganda Department now, it is because it does not involve the vital interests of the Old Ye family. Otherwise, he, as the deputy minister, would not have been in vain and would always play some role.
Ye Kai himself also has some opinions on this issue. If he stays in the Propaganda Department for the time being, it is better to be low-key. After all, the current trend is still on the conservative side, so there is no need to be too opposed to them. In this way, even if he can be praised by the reformists, the proportion of investment and return may not be satisfactory.
But if Ye Ziping is released and goes to the local area, he can let go of his hands and feet and show his political stance with practical actions. In fact, it is easier for people to accept and gain trust.
Ye Ziping has good basic conditions. As a son, Ye Kai certainly hopes that he can achieve great things. After all, his uncle and second uncle both work in the military. If the old Ye family does not want to transform into a military family, it depends on his father Ye Ziping's performance.
Judging from the current situation, even Comrade Fang He has to be subject to the Propaganda Department in Beijing and cannot make his own voice. Ye Ziping doesn't have much intention to stay here, and this situation cannot be changed in the short term.
Not only do you have many troubles in the publicity department, but you don’t have any good development opportunities. It’s better to let it go and do something practical, which is more conducive to Ye Ziping’s development.
Regarding Mr. Ye’s persuasion work, Ye Kai thought about it and found that he was definitely not worth enough now, but when the war between the United States and Iraq started and he made a big profit in the oil futures market, he would be more confident to operate this matter.
Although the old man hopes that his father will take root in the publicity system and plays a role, compared with the overall situation of the Ye family, the development prospects after going abroad are clearer.
