"Grandpa, how could I forget to see you after coming back?" Zhao Xia came to her grandfather Zhao Yuannian's side and helped the old man into the house.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. Let go of me right now. This old man is standing firm enough. I'm not at the point where I need a junior's help!" Zhao Yuannian waved his hand and pushed Zhao Xia away.

Zhao Xia, with her frail body, was pushed by the old man.

She took several steps back, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She was almost pushed to the ground by an old man who was nearly 80 years old.

And it was just a gentle push.

No, who is the 80-year-old man?

"Oh dear, my little darling, why are you so weak?" Zhao Yuannian raised an eyebrow at the sight, his eyes full of mockery.

Zhao Xia was speechless; her grandfather was incredibly robust and vigorous.

But I felt incredibly weak.

The contrast between these two makes it all the more cruel.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!" Chen Xiaodong said.

Zhao Xia waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave, and the grandfather and grandson would have some time together.

"Are you confident about your trip to Handong Province this time?"

Entering the courtyard, Zhao Yuannian picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the table and began to gnaw on it. His teeth were very sharp. As he gnawed, he asked questions.

He was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about it at all.

"I am definitely confident. If I weren't confident, I definitely wouldn't have agreed."

"Grandpa, don't you know my personality?" Zhao Xia sat down easily and took an apple to eat.

"Sending you to Handong Province this time was also my idea. You have already experienced it, and Handong Province is the place where you will prove your path!"

If you do a good job.

If you do well from now on, things will be smoother.

If you don't do a good job.

Your highest position in the future might be the same position I used to hold.

It won't be too high!

But it won't go much lower.

Zhao Yuannian said with slight dissatisfaction.

He felt that his rank before retirement was too low, and that he had disgraced the Supreme Elder of the Energy Department.

Zhao Xia broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

What do you mean by "not too high"?!

Do you know that you used to be the dean?

There are hardly any people left on the roof, and you're still complaining? What are you trying to do?

Go to heaven?

However, considering the old man's resume...

And with the fact that he associates with the most influential people in the world, and has a brilliant track record, he can finally accept it.

This position does seem a bit too low for the old man.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm definitely confident!"

"I will absolutely not let outsiders look down on me, the Holy Son of the Energy System." Zhao Xia nodded, his lazy expression disappearing, and he became unusually serious.

There was nothing he could do; he had said those same things lazily to the old man before.

The old man used the belt around his waist to teach him that the words "Energy System Imperial Decree" were not something that could be shouted out; one had to take the attitude seriously.

Whenever Zhao Xia did something wrong, the first person to jump out and punish him was his beloved grandfather.

They felt they had disgraced their energy sector and brought shame upon the Zhao family.

"It's good that you have confidence."

I came here today to see you and see if you have changed.

Looking at him now, he definitely looks more energetic than before.

"You're so calm and confident now. It seems all these years of experience have really worked for you!" Zhao Yuannian looked at Zhao Xia with satisfaction.

The tree he had carefully nurtured was finally going to be revealed to outsiders.

His feelings were complicated; he was afraid that the tree might be blown down by a strong wind when he wasn't paying attention.

There was also the excitement of wanting to show it off.

After all, the tree he planted was absolutely perfect.

It's time to show ourselves to others.

It can also satisfy his vanity in his old age.

Zhao Xia nodded slowly, looking at her grandfather who finally looked like a respectable elder, her face full of relief.

That's right, seniors should say things like that to encourage juniors.

Instead of hitting his face.

"Just because I praised you a couple of times, do you think you're so great?!" Zhao Yuannian's tone suddenly changed, freezing the smile on Zhao Xia's face.

"By the way, there's a guy named Chen Yanshi there, he's a stubborn mule!"

Your dad and he used to have a lot of conflicts.

He's always bullied your dad because of his seniority.

You might have to get your revenge on this place.

Of course, everything must follow the procedures, if the old man behaves himself and doesn't cause any trouble.

You can treat him like he's not there anymore.

If he doesn't want to live a quiet and respectable life, preserving his reputation until death, then don't hold back.

Zhao Xia frowned slightly upon hearing this.

To be honest, he didn't have many memories of his father.

I only spent more time with them when I was young, but since I started junior high school...

The father became a legend, and so did the mother; both were workaholics.

It's rare to see someone once a year; seeing them once every three to five years is the norm.

He was raised by his grandfather from a young age.

Therefore, I have a deep affection for my grandfather.

"Grandpa, why did you suddenly bring up Chen Yanshi?" Zhao Xia asked curiously.

But as soon as he asked the question, he regretted it.

Zhao Yuannian chuckled and said, "I know Chen Yanshi too well!"

He has a strange temper, acts like a big shot when it comes to authority, talks about discipline all the time, but never actually follows it.

Previously, Zhao Lichun suppressed him in Handong Province, preventing him from acting recklessly.

Now that his adopted son, Sha Ruijin, has become the provincial party secretary there, he will definitely bring up the old issues again, using Sha Ruijin's status as his adoptive father to intimidate others.

I know this old man too well!

I reckon he'll cause trouble again and do some foolish things just to save face.

You may need to keep an eye on this elderly comrade who has suddenly become radiant again, and prevent him from making mistakes; you must correct him promptly.

Of course, if the older comrade doesn't want to be dignified, you don't have to make him be dignified.

Opportunities may be given, but don't give them too many. Respect is earned through your own efforts, not given by others.

"Besides, your father was in the same platoon as him when he first joined the army, and he certainly made things difficult for your father." Zhao Yuannian said calmly, biting into an apple, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

It was as if they were talking about something extremely ordinary, and someone else's business at that.

Zhao Xia laughed when she heard this; Chen Yanshi was causing trouble for her father.

Thinking of his father's current rank, Executive Deputy General.

Does Chen Yanshi still dare to breathe loudly in front of his father?

Do you dare? Would you dare?

Maybe I'll dare, perhaps I will!

Zhao Xia believes that it is highly unlikely that they would dare to do so.

Despite his stubbornness, Chen Yanshi is actually more shrewd and calculating than anyone else.

He interfered when his daughter fell in love with Qi Tongwei, who came from a peasant background.

He kept saying that he was just an ordinary citizen.

On the one hand, she looked down on Qi Tongwei, a peasant, and was afraid that her daughter would not have a good life if she married Qi Tongwei.

Then he introduced his daughter to his extended family for a marriage alliance.

Incidentally, this will help Chen Hai obtain resources.

There was also the time when Chen Yanshi followed Liang Qunfeng around.

He opposed Zhao Lichun at every turn, and saw Zhao Lichun successfully compete for the governorship.

After Liang Qunfeng lost the competition.

They've started another self-directed and self-acted whistleblowing.

Report someone for using air conditioning!

Isn't this ridiculous? Reporting someone for using air conditioning just proves that they were simply using air conditioning.

Does that mean you won't get involved in any other illegal or criminal activities?

Is this a report, or is it helping someone prove their integrity and incorruptibility?
