Su Moru continued: "Some people say that Zang Yi has a bright future, but I think he is just average. What do you think?"
Su Moru said that Zang Yi was just average, but Fang Zhicheng was obviously superior to him in terms of political achievements in Hanzhou. Isn't that an implicit criticism that Fang Zhicheng's ability and level were even more average
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Although Zang Yi is a bit sinister and utilitarian, he is still very capable."
Su Moru smiled contemptuously and said, "If I become his opponent, I will definitely not be beaten by him."
Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows, continued to show his good self-cultivation, and said softly: "Oh? It seems that Mo Ru, you are still very confident in your abilities."
Su Moru nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be on the list next year and rank higher than him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Are you talking about the Youth List? I didn't expect Mo Ru to care about those false names."
Su Moru was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "That is a standard for measuring ability. Your ranking on the list determines your potential."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Su Moru had made great achievements in Liuhe City in the past two years. He focused on education. He was the director of the Liuhe City Education Bureau. Liuhe City had established Yanjing University and Shuimu University classes last year. Nearly 60 students in the two classes were admitted to the two universities. For this reason, Su Moru was highly valued by the Ministry of Education and was considered a talent in the education system.
Although the Ministry of Education ranks low in comprehensive strength among many parts of the country, it is the national policy to develop the country through education and talent. Therefore, Su Moru looked for an unpopular research field, and did not compete with others in attracting investment and economic deployment. He walked his own educational path, and as a result, he had fewer strong competitors on the road to promotion.
Fang Zhicheng said: "Then I wish Brother Mo Ru a bright future and hope he will shine on the youth list soon."
Su Moru smiled faintly and said, "I hope you can do the same and get on the youth list as soon as possible. If you and I enter the list at the same time, it will provide a foundation for the Su family to revive."
Fang Zhicheng could hear a hint of arrogance in Su Moru's tone, because he was obviously ahead of him now. He smiled and said, "You forgot one person. I think Brother Gan also has potential. It is reasonable for the three of them to enter the youth list at the same time."
Wang Gan looked a little embarrassed, Su Moru showed a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Fang Zhicheng was too naive. Can anyone enter the Youth List? Of course, he could also understand that Fang Zhicheng was still too young and didn't know the meaning of the Youth List at all.
The main thing is to be able to enter the youth list. If there are no special accidents, it is a foregone conclusion that he will become a ministerial-level cadre in a few decades.
After lunch, Fang Zhicheng went to the bedroom to rest because he had drunk some wine. Su Moru did not play cards with the younger generations, but chatted with elders such as Su Mo and Su Jin. Su Moru was deliberately distinguishing himself from the young people. He was qualified to discuss core issues with the elders of the family.
Around 3pm, the Su family's side branches who came to pay New Year's greetings left one after another. After everyone had left, Su Lin stood on Su Mo's right and said unhappily, "Su Jin's purpose today is too obvious. He is deliberately trying to push Su Mo Ru to become the core figure of the next generation."
Su Mo sighed and said, "Mo Ru still has great potential. If he can become extraordinary through education, it will be a good thing for the Su family."
Su Lin frowned and said, "Second brother, you don't want to focus on supporting him, do you?"
Su Mo said calmly: "I know what you mean. You value Zhicheng very much, but you also know that Zhicheng alone cannot support a large family. What if what happened back then happens again?"
Su Lin clenched his fists and said, "Absolutely impossible!"
Su Mo gave Su Lin a strange smile and said, "If we move forward together, one bright and one dark, that's also a good strategy."
Su Lin stared at Su Mo's smile, sighed, and said, "Your expression is so sinister that it makes me uncomfortable. You look more and more like our dead father." Since the death of Old Master Su, Su Mo has changed a lot, making Su Lin feel that he is unfathomable.
Su Mo took a breath and said, "I can only catch up with the old man's realm in my lifetime, but I can only look up to him."
Chapter 0791: Pretending to be Confused While Knowing the Truth
Su Lin knew what Su Mo meant. He had a plan in mind to focus on training Fang Zhicheng to become the core figure of the next generation of the Su family. However, in order to avoid the situation where his eldest brother was framed because he was the only one standing out, he now pushed Su Mo Ru forward. This could be regarded as a way to divert the opponent's attention.
In short, Su Mo Ru became a shield against Fang Zhicheng. If the other side had any shady tricks, they would go directly towards Su Mo Ru.
Of course, there is another possible situation, that is, Su Mo Ru is really outstanding, makes good use of Su Mo's support, shows enough strength, and becomes the soul figure leading the Su family forward.
Su Lin also knew that the rise of the Su family could not be attributed to Fang Zhicheng alone. After all, Fang Zhicheng was still too young, and his career was complicated. Especially as he got older, the difficulties and enemies he encountered would only become stronger. So no one could guarantee that Fang Zhicheng could make it to the end smoothly.
Although he is still very young and has reached a position that is difficult for his peers to reach, it may take you five to ten years to get through a door in officialdom, so the age advantage is sometimes untenable.
Zang Yi is a whetstone on Fang Zhicheng's life path, and Su Moru is also the driving force that motivates Fang Zhicheng to progress and grow. In the future, there will be a steady stream of various enemies, and Fang Zhicheng can't avoid them. He can only solve them one by one, and in the process of solving the opponents, he will slowly learn to grow.
The Su family will invest a lot of resources in Fang Zhicheng, but they will not support only him. If he is eliminated, the Su family will choose another person. This is the dialectic of gain and loss.
After the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival is over. On the morning of the fifth day, Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei took a flight to Yunhai. Although they were going to the Su family to celebrate the New Year, they still had to go to the Ning family. Ning Xiangcao drove to pick up Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei, and Ning Xiangcao asked with a smile: "How is it? How did you spend the New Year?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Overall, it went quite smoothly. The main reason was that Qiangwei cooperated with me very well, and everyone in my family liked her. Especially my mother, who praised her highly."
Ning Qiangwei pouted and said, "What do you mean by I cooperate with you? I just don't want others to think I'm impolite."
Ning Xiangcao smiled slightly, "I think you two are getting closer and closer."
Ning Qiangwei asked unhappily: "What's the feeling?"
Ning Xiangcao said calmly: "Of course it's the feeling of a young couple?"
Ning Qiangwei glared at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Who is she and her husband? Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Ning Xiangcao from the side. He didn't know if it was because of the angle, but he felt that the smile on Ning Xiangcao's face was a little stiff, so he just smiled and looked out the car window.
After returning to the Ning family's old house, Fang Zhicheng unexpectedly discovered that he was not the only guest in the mansion today. Ning Xiangcao whispered to Fang Zhicheng, "I forgot to tell you that Zang Yi came to pay New Year's greetings yesterday."
"What is he doing here?" Fang Zhicheng said unhappily.
Ning Xiangcao looked up at Fang Zhicheng and said, "It's New Year's Day, we can't turn away guests, so let him stay here for one night. You can go together to Hanzhou tomorrow."
Fang Zhicheng felt a surge of anger rising from his abdomen to his throat, and said, "Aren't you putting a tiger and a lion in the same den?"
Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "Why do I feel like one of you is a wolf and the other is a hyena, you are both wolves and hyenas, and you are in cahoots with each other."
