Chapter 919 Does he believe that family interests are above all else?
After listening, Director Bai asked Lu Qiaoge, "What do you think will happen if Chairman Luo can't win against his father?"
Judging from Lu Qiaoge's report, Luo Ziwen's father was not very welcoming to Chu Sulan and Luo Aijun.
He could understand why Chu Sulan was not welcome.
After all, Chu Sulan is an outsider, and she's divorced from his son, so they have even less of a relationship. If there is any relationship, it's that she's his grandson's biological mother, but this grandson is his own grandson.
How could that be the tone you're using?
It sounds really uncomfortable, as if he doesn't welcome this grandson.
But why isn't it welcome?
That's his own grandson.
He also has a son, and if his son has children in the future, he will definitely like them very much.
Sons and nephews are different, so can grandsons and grandnephews be considered the same?
However, everyone probably has their own ideas.
But it would be bad if this affected our investments.
I had no idea that Luo Ziwen's family situation was like this before.
Lu Qiaoge considered it for a moment and then said, "I'm not sure about that either. Overall, Chairman Luo is very filial. Chairman Luo's father has the kind of patriarchal style. This kind of patriarchal style is not limited to his own small family. He cares about the whole family."
In his mind, the interests of the family should be above all else. Therefore, the younger generation in the clan are not other people's children, but all descendants of the Luo family.
However, in business, Luo Ziwen should understand that profit is paramount.
When this interest conflicts with his father's words, he will definitely choose the interest.
Similarly, this benefit is also in his own best interest.
His filial piety towards his father and his love for his son are not contradictory at all.
If one day this old man puts these two things together, Luo Ziwen will probably still choose the one that is more advantageous to him.
Director Bai sighed, "Alas, money really can corrupt people's hearts."
Lu Qiaoge added, "But this involves an investment of several million, and it's not just his business. Moreover, the Luo family's company is not wholly owned, so a board meeting or something like that is necessary."
Anyway, that's the gist of it. After talking for a while, the group changed the subject and started talking about setting up an office under the Investment and Development Department.
Some leaders actually didn't want to set up offices within the Foreign Trade Bureau, such as those within the Ministry of Light Industry.
But now that Lu Qiaoge works at the General Administration, this is definitely her primary focus.
It was just a small meeting with only a few people. After the meeting ended, Director Bai still inquired about Lu Qiaoge's relationship with the Dong family at the military family compound.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
Even Director Bai knows about this.
So Lu Qiaoge didn't hide anything and just told the whole story.
Director Bai stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.
He and Lao Lü exchanged a glance, and Director Bai said, "If it's our responsibility, we'll take it; if it's not our responsibility, you shouldn't take it all on your shoulders. How should I put it... I feel that in the end it's a family matter."
Director Bai and Lao Lü are both men, so they actually sympathize with Lao Dong in this matter.
Dong Ze is different from them. Except for business trips and overtime, they mostly work regular hours. But Dong Ze is a soldier. Their posts are in the military. Unless it's a civilian position in a unit set up in a compound, they might not be able to leave work on time. For someone like Dong Ze who has to go down to the company level to lead troops, it's not uncommon for him to not go home for ten days or half a month, sometimes it might be half a year.
Although he has a lot of responsibilities, he must be focusing his energy on his career and cannot stay at home.
Although it may seem like he's trying to shirk responsibility, men and women are different; he certainly isn't as meticulous.
I don't know how Lao Lü is doing, but Director Bai knows that his wife basically takes care of his children, and he rarely pays attention to the trivial matters involving the children.
If the eldest and second eldest siblings start arguing, that's all there is to it. There's no need to ask why. Often, the reasons are very simple: they just can't agree on something, or they might argue over whether candy or cookies are divided evenly, or even if one of them is washing the dishes while the other is sweeping the floor. These kinds of arguments can last for quite a while.
He felt that gay men were often simply not good at handling these kinds of things.
However, he dared not say this in front of Lu Qiaoge.
Then I also realized that family matters are not trivial.
The ancients said, "If you can't sweep one's own room, how can you sweep the world?"
If you can't even handle your own family affairs, how can you expect to have a thriving career?
Conversely, Director Bai felt that this statement was not entirely correct.
Because often this is just a way of putting it.
Who dares to say that every family is happy and harmonious?
No!
So, if there's constant noise at home, does that mean you shouldn't focus on your career?
Take Director Lin, who is most familiar with Lu Qiaoge and manages the canteen, for example. To outsiders, this woman is really amazing. She manages such a large canteen and works in a ministry like the State Administration of Foreign Trade. Everyone from top to bottom recognizes her work. Her superiors often praise her, and the staff below also trust her.
Logically speaking, shouldn't a person like this have no burdens or responsibilities to their family?
Is it possible for her to devote herself wholeheartedly to her career without any distractions?
Actually not.
Lu Qiaoge probably doesn't know about Director Lin's family affairs yet.
That's a long story.
Director Lin used to work in the civil affairs department. She and her husband were classmates in college. In those days, college degrees were highly prestigious, so they were both assigned to good units and stayed in Beijing.
Because their hometowns were in different places—one in a mountain village and the other in a town—their relatives naturally benefited from their son and daughter's entry into the capital and their rise to become high-ranking government officials, and wanted to follow them there as well.
After the couple got married, Director Lin's husband brought his parents to live with them. Then, Director Lin's younger brother and sister also came to Beidu. They didn't have their own house; they were renting. Life there was truly a mess.
But these two are really amazing; their upbringing probably instilled in them a tenacious and unyielding character.
If parents and relatives can't get back, then they can only stay by your side to take care of you.
Director Lin's husband is a renowned writer who works in the news department. He is also very intelligent and adept at grasping the political climate, so he has rarely made a mistake.
Director Lin himself is doing just as well in the civil affairs department.
Of course, the hard work involved here is something that others may not be able to comprehend.
But to be honest, who didn't have a tough time at the beginning?
