Ye Fan and Uncle Sun were not only focused on the chess game in front of them but also on the chess game beyond the small board.
The external crisis, that's the real big game.
Uncle Sun had a broad vision and strong strategic oversight, which provided Ye Fan with extremely valuable advice.
Ye Fan gained a lot; with Uncle Sun's assistance, it played an indispensable guiding role in future arrangements and situations.
"With your full support, I will be able to achieve unimaginable value in the institute. I express my thanks in advance," Ye Fan said respectfully, having no choice but to value this elderly man.
"This is what I ought to do, no need for thanks. If you need anything, just ask, don't stand on ceremony," Uncle Sun said with a smile. "As an old man, it's satisfying enough to still contribute in any small way."
Throughout his life, Uncle Sun worked diligently for his beliefs and career, naturally understanding the importance of priorities.
