Chapter 2000 The Position of the Helmsman

Wang Bin said with a smile: "Cousin, you are too polite. We are a family. Your business is my business. If Wang Xueqiang does something tricky, are you sure you can handle it?"

Wang Zhiguang saw that he was sincere, so he stopped hiding it. "The Blue Army failed in this exercise, and some leaders have expressed their disappointment in me. If Staff Officer Wang plays tricks at this time, I really may not be able to handle it."

Wang Bin said, "If I hadn't come to you, you wouldn't have gotten into such a stalemate with Staff Officer Wang. I have no choice but to take care of this matter."

Wang Zhiguang smiled and said, "You and Secretary Liu are not from the military system. I think it's better for you not to interfere in this matter. As for personal honor and disgrace, I don't care too much. Although I am a little reluctant to leave Dongri and this place, if the organization arranges me to work somewhere else, I will not have the slightest nostalgia."

Wang Bin exclaimed: "My cousin has a very broad vision. Talents like you need to be placed on the right stage to shine... I have two choices. First, if my cousin wants to go into politics, I can arrange for you to transfer to Fengliao Province. With your brain, I believe you will soon be able to make a difference in the officialdom."

Entering politics? Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiguang looked at Wang Bin in surprise.

Wang Bin sighed and said, "Cousin, I won't hide anything from you. Before, Secretary Liu only told you that my father is Commander Wang Kaijiang, but there are some things in our family that we haven't had time to introduce. In fact, this also contains a unknown past."

Wang Bin slowly recounted the story of how he was separated from his parents after he was born and was reunited with them only a few years ago.

"Unfortunately, my father was already terminally ill at the time and would soon pass away. I chose to go into politics because I knew that my qualifications were not enough to convince the public and that I could not inherit my father's legacy."

Wang Zhiguang listened very carefully and his face was moved.

"Mayor Wang, what you mean is that if Wang Xueqiang uses his connections in the army to suppress me, you won't be able to protect me? You can only help me if I choose to go into politics?"

Wang Bin shook his head slightly and was about to speak when Wang Zhiguang smiled and said, "Mayor Wang, you are worrying too much. I am not a coward, nor am I someone who looks for someone to back me up when something goes wrong. I can handle my own problems myself."

Wang Bin said, "Don't get me wrong, cousin. I told you about my life story just to improve our mutual understanding. If Wang Xueqiang goes too far, I still have the ability to stop him. After all, I am a direct descendant of the Wang family. Those uncles and my father's comrades will definitely give me some face."

Wang Zhiguang nodded, indicating that he already knew it. Then, he smiled and asked, "What about the second option?"

Wang Bin said: "I want to ask my cousin, do you think Wang Xueqiang is suitable to be the future helmsman of the Wang family?"

Wang Zhiguang frowned slightly and said, "Mayor Wang, I haven't even stepped into the Wang family's doorstep. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to ask me this question, right?"

Wang Bin smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, cousin, you can talk as you please."

Wang Zhiguang pondered and said, "I think Wang Xueqiang is not suitable to be the helmsman of the Wang family because of his personality. He does not have enough vision and vision, and he cannot see the general trend clearly."

"For example, there was no conflict between him and Secretary Liu Fusheng, but he repeatedly provoked him... Secretary Liu is a rare talent. Whether in Fengliao Province or Yuedong Province, he has done many good things that benefit the country and the people. In addition, he also has a certain influence in the military. It is unwise to constantly provoke such a person just because of a dispute of arrogance."

"Given Wang Xueqiang's personality, if he becomes the helmsman of the Wang family, it is very likely to bring great disaster to the Wang family."

Wang Bin sighed, "My cousin's analysis is insightful, and I deeply agree with it. When my father was dying, he allowed Wang Xueqiang to be the heir because he was in the army. Our Wang family is a military family, and only soldiers can win the support of the people. This is a way to avoid internal strife in the Wang family."

"But I think that in today's peaceful and prosperous times, whether you are a soldier or an official, as long as you do good things that benefit the country and the people, you are qualified to lead a family to prosperity."

Wang Zhiguang nodded and said, "That's right, so Mayor Wang also wants to compete for the position of helmsman?"

Wang Bin said frankly, "Of course I have thought about it. My father and grandfather conquered the country. The rest of the family gradually became dependent on us after our family gained power. If Wang Xueqiang's talent and virtue were enough to convince me, I might choose to assist him. But he is not worthy of the position. Why should I hand over such a big Wang family to someone else?"

Wang Zhiguang said seriously: "I understand your idea, but there seems to be a problem here."

Wang Bin nodded and said, "I know. No matter what, I am not a soldier... But I don't join the army, it doesn't mean that I am incompetent. It's just because I don't want to go there, just like you, my cousin, don't want to go into politics."

After a pause, Wang Bin smiled and said, "We all know that in peacetime, there is not much difference between soldiers and officials, but the older generation in the family may not understand this, so it has become the biggest difficulty for me to take over the Wang family. However, after meeting my cousin, I thought of another solution."

"What method?" Wang Zhiguang was slightly stunned and asked with some confusion.

Wang Bin said: "You are related to the Wang family, so it is natural for you to be introduced to the Wang family. In addition, you have made great achievements in the military. Just talking about your undefeated record in winter, it has caused widespread repercussions in major military regions across the country. People like you will definitely be highly valued by the older generation."

"In fact, you haven't entered the Wang family yet. It's because Wang Xueqiang is deliberately suppressing you. He wants to turn you into his trump card and use you when he needs you."

Wang Zhiguang sighed, "I understand, but the power is in his hands, and I can't do anything about it."

Wang Bin said, "I can bring you directly into the Wang family now, but it's a little bit awkward because the person you are related to is Wang Xueqiang. If he denies it, this relationship will be awkward."

"So, I can stop Wang Xueqiang from attacking you, but even if I do, it may not be good for you."

Wang Zhiguang agreed: "Yes, the relationships within a big family are complicated. I am very grateful to Mayor Wang for telling me all these things. Similarly, I guess Mayor Wang must have a corresponding countermeasure after saying this, right?"

Wang Bin smiled and said, "Since Wang Xueqiang is threatening you, we can just go with the flow and find an opportunity to surrender to him..."

Wang Zhiguang frowned slightly. He had understood Wang Bin's intention, which was to let him pretend to be friendly with Wang Xueqiang and have Wang Xueqiang recommend him to the Wang family. Then, when he and Wang Bin grew to a certain level of strength, they would work together to seize the position of the helmsman of the Wang family.
