Chapter 1986 - 1986: 1986

Lu Hongzhong was truly stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend the master's words.

Gu Changsha smiled lightly, feeling a sense of comfort and satisfaction within, it was truly enjoyable.

This is political wisdom, something ordinary people do not understand!

Seeing this, Lu Hongzhong quickly flattered him: "Uncle Gu, you strategize with such foresight, everything is clear to you! Please enlighten me, what are the techniques of concealing one's edge and reverse logic?"

This flattery really pleased Gu Changsha.

People, especially here, no matter your level, love to play the teacher!

To guide others, to be a teacher, the vanity and satisfaction it brings is truly immensely enjoyable.

Gu Changsha chuckled, nodded, and said, "The technique of concealing one's edge means to be low-key, not to flaunt, so that others cannot see your sharpness. Right now, Xi Yang is in a period where he needs to conceal his edge."

"But..." Lu Hongzhong was a bit frustrated, shaking his head, "Uncle Gu, maybe my Realm is too low! But now, Brother Xi Yang's edge is not sharp enough, it's quite standard! I feel it's precisely the time for him to show his sharpness, how can it be concealed? The more it's concealed, the more disadvantageous it might be!"

Gu Changsha smiled confidently, shaking his head, "Hongzhong, what you're saying is true, but the tallest tree catches the wind, the standout beam rots first, and great heat leads to death, do you understand this principle?"

"Uh..."

Lu Hongzhong seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, "Are you saying... Tang Zhi's current popularity might be detrimental for the future?"

"Hehe, not exactly... at least, he won't be the successor. For Xi Yang, being dispatched to Zhou Mountain City is the technique of concealing one's edge, not drawing too much attention. At most, people in the province will think he has no future, pay a bit of attention, and after realizing, it will pass. No one will notice him, and thus the purpose of concealing one's edge is achieved. Following this, reverse logic should start!"

At this moment, Gu Changsha truly resembled a political lecturer, every move, change in voice and rhythm, perfectly like one.

Lu Hongzhong nodded constantly, like a student listening in class, his facial expressions coordinated very well.

"Please go on, I'm learning, learning well..."

"When everyone thinks that Xi Yang is just biding his time in Zhou Mountain with no political future, unconscious or conscious reverse operations will naturally assist his achievements, understand?"

"Uh? What do you mean by conscious and unconscious operations? This..."

Lu Hongzhong had a thoughtful look, even scratching his head, "Could it be... you'll arrange projects in Zhou Mountain?"

Gu Changsha laughed, his smile like a teacher facing an enlightened student, "Well, these projects need to be arranged with conscious and unconscious efforts. At the provincial level, you can unconsciously allocate some projects that seem impossible or hard to complete to Zhou Mountain, they must fit the local realities of Zhou Mountain; while at the Tiandu level, consciously arrange some projects to come down. This creates a contrast; deliberate or unintentional, it's his luck."

"Ah?!"

Lu Hongzhong's eyes lit up, seeming to understand, yet not fully grasping.

However, he immediately said: "At the provincial level, we can indeed get a project for Zhou Mountain City, which is transportation infrastructure and branch line airport construction. Of course, every city in the province has these projects. This is unconscious! Anyway, transportation infrastructure is barely doable for Zhou Mountain; but the quota and share for the branch line airport require effort to obtain and might not necessarily be completed."

"Hmm, not bad, that's doable. Once Xi Yang truly completes securing the branch line airport, it will be the unintentional result of intentional actions, further enhancing the weight of his achievements."

Lu Hongzhong gave a thumbs up, repeatedly praising, "High, truly high, my Uncle Gu, amazing! This is your political wisdom, I've learned, learned!"

A face full of gratitude, followed immediately.

Those who are good at flattering always perform so well, seemingly heartfelt, certainly pleasing Gu Changsha greatly.

Gu Changsha was quite satisfied with his role as a teacher.

Subsequently, Lu Hongzhong humbled himself again, with a humble look, said: "Then over in Zhou Mountain, what are the intentional projects from Tiandu? Can we find out in advance, so the province can coordinate the work? Rest assured, I'll keep it a secret, totally cooperate!"

Gu Changsha responded calmly: "Over in Zhou Mountain, they're preparing a nuclear power plant, and it's the largest nuclear power plant in the Great East Pot."

"Ah? This..."

Lu Hongzhong's eyes almost popped out, this is an outstanding achievement!

Nuclear power, with its large investment, wide-reaching relocation. As soon as the project is completed, Zhou Mountain can immediately become a strong economic city!

"My goodness... Uncle Gu, you're really pushing hard, going all out?"

"The intentional projects from Tiandu naturally need to be substantial, hehe..."

Lu Hongzhong nodded repeatedly, inwardly saying: No wonder it's for your own son, truly caring! Over the years, Old Gu has been silently doing everything for his descendants, and now he's pulled off such a big move, impressive!

"Yes, yes, Uncle Gu is indeed deliberate! I've learned, truly live and learn, Uncle Gu's wisdom, hard to fully grasp!"

"Hahaha..."

"..."

The pleasant breakfast ended just like that.

After breakfast, naturally, Lu Hongzhong accompanied Gu Changsha to inspect other places, especially the developed cities.

As for a place like Zhou Mountain, where Mr. Gu is going, it wasn't even mentioned, just treated as marginal. For now, conceal the edge, haha...

Even the city where Ding Xiyang is located, its economy is quite okay, but this time Gu Changsha didn't go, this was also intentional neglect, further intentional concealment of the edge.

Everyone knew that wherever Gu Changsha visited, one hundred percent, the official of that place would be transferred within six months to a year, generally to a good position or promoted one or half a level.

The places he didn't visit, well then, might as well forget about promotion.

So, in the places he planned to visit, everyone tried every means to write articles, please him, and flatter him.

The next day, Lu Hongzhong made another appearance nationwide. His eulogies for Gu Changsha, with those rather shameless words, became popular.

All over the Great East Pot, they were reposted and shared freely, the publicity offensive was strong, great this and that, amazing amazing...

In any case, Gu Changsha was very satisfied.

The next evening, Gu Changsha arrived at a more economically developed city neighboring the city where his own son, Ding Xiyang, was.

At 10 PM, his son Ding Xiyang came over, arriving at the hotel where his father was staying, the father and son had a private meet-up.

What father doesn't want to see his son?

And what young master doesn't want to see their king? Right?
