Chang Ning and his eldest uncle Liu Tiehong didn't meet many times, and they naturally didn't know each other deeply. In the limited contacts, Chang Ning's feeling was not only a strong military temperament, but also generous, upright, loud voice, high alcohol tolerance, hated evil and decisive.

Today, Liu Tiehong seemed to have talked a little too much, which made Chang Ning a little puzzled. As he looked at it, he didn't seem to have drunk alcohol.

"Xiao Chang, you're right. It's absolutely impossible to stay in this system without a circle. However, in a circle filled with mediocre people, the rank of the ranks will easily fall into a state of complacency and arrogance. If you are immersed in such a circle and are complacent, then I guess his career will be almost over."

Chang Ning agreed with this and nodded, "Grandmaster, you said it very well. This kind of circle composed of subordinates can only be regarded as a small circle."

Liu Tiehong nodded and said, "Yes, that's also called a primary circle, and who are in the intermediate circle? It's your level and level. What I want to make special mention is that the level referred to here is the level that does not determine your progress. For example, if you are a municipal leader, then the first and second leaders of various departments of the provincial party committee and government can be included in the category of this intermediate circle."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "I don't have that kind of circle yet. So, I'm already behind."

"You are not behind, and now is the best time to build your own intermediate circle."

"Grand uncle, please continue." Chang Ning lit another cigarette for Liu Tiehong. His attitude was serious and humble, like a junior high school student, but in fact he intended to let Liu Tiehong say it happily.

Liu Tiehong continued: "This is an intermediate circle, which has a wonderful function of inheriting the roots. This circle also forms your root system. This root system is like the roots grown from the main roots of a big tree. They can also provide you with nutrients, but this help still seems powerless, or in other words, limited. The role this circle can play is nothing more than venting information and helping with things. They are people attached to the main roots. If your main roots are no longer possible, they will leave you immediately and want to get help from them, then your main roots must be the same health."

"Oh, that means that people in this kind of circle have conditions for their role."

"Yes, as long as your main root is strong, their help to you is unprecedentedly powerful, with help everywhere and connections everywhere. If you want to do anything, they can help you. The premise is that the master of your circle must have enough strength."

Chang Ning said: "I understand that people in this circle should be maintained as much as possible, but for such people, they still need their own strength to let them feel it before they can maintain it well."

Liu Tiehong nodded with a smile and then said, "Xiao Chang, this circle has a large scope and is also very important to everyone's development. But there is also a problem with this circle, that is, its members are extremely unstable. You will feel this in the future. Now you are a star in Xijiang. As long as you want to establish such a circle, they will rush to come."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "I know, haven't many people seen the existence of the Ning family behind me?"

Liu Tiehong also smiled and said, "It's great that you can think of this. So, the third question I want to talk about is the main root issue, which is what I call the third circle. This is the main root that can affect your future development.

"Grand uncle, I would like to hear it carefully and listen carefully." Chang Ning suddenly felt that Liu Tiehong today was very different from the mighty general of Tie in the past.

"The main root of a big tree is often not just one, but multiple roots. Take you as an example. You have motivation, vitality and ability. These three things form your tree. It doesn't matter if the tree is small. As long as the conditions for growth are met, your first main root should be in Qingyang. Without the help of those seniors in Qingyang, there will be no development. They are one of your main roots, but this main root now seems much weaker. The Ning family has now become your biggest main root. The old man is you.

With the greatest backing, you can absorb endless nutrients from here. With the existence of this main root, you can continue to grow. Of course, this main root alone is not enough. You also need more main roots. Although other main roots are somewhat related to the main root of the Ning family, there are still differences. For example, due to your efforts, after Yang Yang married you, the Yang family also became your own root. You and Chen Situo, the Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, will the Chen family also become your own root."

"Haha, I didn't think so much, nor did I think so much."

"Xiao Chang, I also heard that you have even become friends with Qiu Xinghua now. It's amazing. That's the leader who will join the Politburo in two years. One Chen Situ and the other Qiu Xinghua are enough to ensure that you can enter the new century smoothly."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Grand uncle, it's still ten years before the new century."

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Tiehong said with a smile: "Many things are not transferred by human will. You just need to know that this is the case. Anyway, there are so many main roots. If anyone wants to move you, they must consider these relationships. Xiao Chang, it's time for you to establish your own intermediate circle."

"Me? Well, thank you for your reminder. I am considering this." Chang Ning smiled, but he felt a little disagreeable. I don't want to have a political meal for the rest of my life. Why are you doing so many circles? Are you tired?

With a sigh, Liu Tiehong said, "This is a kind of helplessness. Your current body has long been deeply imprinted by the Ning family. It is impossible for you to become the little fairy eight years ago."

Chang Ning kept smiling bitterly, "I have the blood of the Ning family in my blood vessels, so now I should make a contribution to the Ning family."

Liu Tiehong sucked a few puffs of cigarettes and continued, "You are no longer an ordinary person, but a city-level leader. Therefore, your development can no longer be considered in the past. When your official position is too small, maybe a sentence of level can benefit you endlessly, but the situation is different now. You can think about it. There are only a few positions at the provincial and municipal level, and any position is the goal that each company competes for. Unless your political achievements are particularly outstanding, it will be very difficult for you to make progress."

"Haha, there are small officials everywhere, high officials are pandas, I have to continue working, and I can't give the mayor to others easily."

"So, at your current level, you still need to pay attention to the role of the root."

"Penggen?" Chang Ning looked at Liu Tiehong in confusion.

With a smile, Liu Tiehong said: "The roots are mixed, the roots are mixed. Do you know why many big families want to marry? For example, if Mr. Yang married Yang Yang to you, the essence and purpose are nothing more than the role of the roots."

"Haha, it's so meaningful." Chang Ning scratched his head, his face full of helpless smile.

Liu Tiehong continued: "This person who is in politics has reached a certain level, and every progress has its own necessity. The reason why he can also have a strong root system and marriage in that position is the best way to build roots. When two big families marry, the root systems of the two big trees are closely tied together. Over time, the roots of these two big trees become the case where you have me and I have you. No matter which tree you want to move, it will inevitably hurt the roots of the other tree. And, although they will absorb each other's nutrients, the result of this root system is that the two big trees will be more solid, just like the Ning family and the Yang family, which have had more than half a century of friendship. With your marriage to Yang Yang, the relationship between each other will be even more unbreakable."

This is true, Chang Ning deeply agrees with him. The combination of his and Yang Yang is the result of the two old men's far-sightedness. The relationship between Ning and Yang families is indeed a foundation. By extension, if more and more roots are combined together and a tree is moving, it will move the interests of all trees, that is, to fight against a huge group. Once such a powerful group fights back, it will definitely be overwhelming and destroying.

Probably, he saw Chang Ning’s idea, and Liu Tiehong smiled and said, “Of course, you and Yang Yang are not all political marriages. After all, you have an emotional foundation.”

"Grand uncle, haven't you told you about my ideal?" Chang Ning asked with a smile.

"Ideal? Haha, you guy, after all, just want to be a deserter?" Liu Tiehong laughed.

"Yes, I didn't want to be an official for the rest of my life."

Liu Tiehong nodded and said, "But, for the sake of the old man, you have to work for another ten or twenty years?"

"Well, that's for sure."

"So, you still need to have your own circle. Not only do you have a circle in a small circle, but also a high-level circle. As long as you form a circle in the layer, you will benefit you for life and benefit the lower generation. Even if you abandon your official position and go to business, this kind of circle will help you, because the people in this kind of circle are no longer limited to those in the officialdom, just like there are many yamen in the capital. Don't underestimate them, they are the people of your high-level circle."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "The only yamen I know is my philosopher uncle." He did not dare to say that he did not interact with those yamen because of the old man's objection.

"Then you have to pay attention to the construction in this regard. Do you know that every family, especially the big families in the capital, must analyze their children when entering society. If someone feels that he has a certain future in the officialdom, they will definitely try their best to provide resources for him and strive to promote his development. These people are of course the backbone of the family. The development and inheritance of the entire family must be maintained by them. However, many people are not in politics. Even if they are reluctant to go into politics, even if they provide a lot of resources, they cannot have any decent future. Therefore, most of these people can only go to business or engage in other industries."

Chang Ning nodded and said, "I have heard of some such things, and some people play the role of a political broker."

Liu Tiehong said: "Yes, although these people have lost the qualification to compete for power, their family will not be separated from them. The family also hopes that they can grow well. If they can develop greatly in business or other aspects, this will also contribute to the family."

The wall clock rang three times, and Liu Tiehong stood up and smiled loudly, "It's time for me to leave, Xiao Chang, let's talk next time, haha, we must talk while drinking."

Come quickly and walk quickly, with a standard military style.

Looking at the military jeep that was leaving, Chang Ning sighed to Liu Yuehong beside him.
