"Old Chen, who are you? You can't be a little lover, right?" Township cadres talk relatively casually to each other, and the two of them are old classmates. Deputy Mayor Xia saw that Chen Yuemin was still standing there after he hung up the phone.
With an excited look on his face, he couldn't help but joked curiously.
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about." Chen Yuemin came back to his senses after hearing this and glared angrily.
"Then why are you so excited? It's like you've lost your soul. To be honest, who is it?" Deputy Mayor Xia asked with increasing curiosity.
"A former student is now teaching at Wuzhou University." Chen Yuemin replied.
"You mean Zhang Weidong?" Deputy Mayor Xia said, slightly startled.
"It's him, how come you've heard of him too?" Chen Yuemin asked in surprise.
"For someone who can make County Magistrate Dong angry just by eating, do you think I can't know about it? It has been spread in the town government for a long time." Deputy Mayor Xia said disapprovingly.
"So that's it. Let me tell you, how did you know about him?" Chen Yuemin said with relief after hearing this.
The fact that County Magistrate Dong was expelled in Pushan Town was naturally a major event for Pushan Town officials. As the town leader, it was not surprising that Deputy Mayor Xia knew Zhang Weidong.
"Old Chen, I think this Zhang Weidong is just a nerd, stupid and green. Why are you talking nonsense with him? And he's so excited?" Deputy Mayor Xia said with a look of disdain.
"Since you heard about Zhang Weidong driving away Dong Yuntao, you should have also heard about Secretary Shengnan speaking for him, right? Think about it carefully, old classmate, do you think Secretary Shengnan is a person without vision?"
Chen Yuemin said seriously.
In fact, Chen Yuemin felt that Zhang Weidong was too bookish at the time, and was puzzled that Liu Shengnan always spoke for him. However, after hearing that Zhang Weidong was related to Chu Chaohui, everything was relieved.
"Could this Zhang Weidong have some other background?" Deputy Mayor Xia didn't believe it.
"It's hard to say, but I heard that he seems to have some relationship with Secretary Chu." Chen Yuemin whispered.
"What, Secretary Chu! Is it true or false?" Deputy Mayor Xia couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this.
These days, is there anyone more powerful than Secretary Chu in the officialdom of Wuzhou City?
"I'm just the principal of a town high school. How do I know about Secretary Chu?" Chen Yuemin said.
"That's true." Deputy Mayor Xia nodded.
Also, who is Secretary Chu? Who does he have a good relationship with? How could someone of their level know if they didn't see it with their own eyes.
"How about you take me with you in the evening? It will be more lively when there are more people." Deputy Mayor Xia paused for a moment and then said, but his attitude changed 180 degrees.
Regardless of whether the relationship between Zhang Weidong and Secretary Chu is true or false, Deputy Mayor Xia would rather believe it or not.
"This is not appropriate. It is also the first time for Zhang Weidong and I to have dinner. Besides, I really don't know his temper. It would not be a good idea if it turns out to be self-defeating. Let's wait until we have a chance to talk about it later." Chen Yuemin thought for a while and said.
Deputy Mayor Xia also knew that this request was somewhat inappropriate. In addition, he still did not believe that Zhang Weidong would have a relationship with Chu Chaohui. Even if he did, in his opinion, the status of a university teacher and a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee was too different.
There was such a huge disparity that he probably wouldn't be able to say anything in front of Secretary Chu. Thinking of this, Deputy Mayor Xia stopped insisting.
At six o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Weidong arrived at the Mengyuan Hotel, Chen Yuemin was already waiting for him at the entrance of the lobby. As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately strode up to greet him. Then he held Zhang Weidong's hand warmly with both hands and said: "Dr. Zhang,
Good evening."
"Principal Chen, good evening." Zhang Weidong also shook hands with Chen Yuemin warmly.
"Because it's just the two of us, I didn't book a private room. Do you think this seat is okay?" After the two greeted each other, Chen Yuemin led Zhang Weidong to a seat near the window with a better view, and then asked.
"You're welcome, Principal Chen. This seat is very good." Zhang Weidong smiled and pulled away and sat down.
Seeing that Zhang Weidong agreed, Chen Yuemin naturally followed him and sat down with a smile on his face.
After sitting down, the two ordered four dishes and a bottle of red wine.
Because Zhang Weidong came here in the evening purely to find the director of the Education Bureau in his hometown, so after ordering food and drinks and exchanging a few pleasantries, he started talking to Chen Yuemin about education issues, which sounded a bit like the Organization Department was inspecting him.
After all, Chen Yuemin was also the principal of a high school, and he was much older than Zhang Weidong. Seeing Zhang Weidong talking to him about education issues in an old-fashioned way, he always felt a little awkward and weird, but he still talked to him patiently.
Education is Chen Yuemin's job. As he talked, Chen Yuemin got into the mood, and there was a faint feeling that he had not appreciated his talents.
In fact, it's no wonder that when Zhang Weidong was a high school student in Pushan Town High School, Chen Yuemin was already the vice principal. After Zhang Weidong graduated, he became the principal. However, he had not been the principal for more than eight years. Chen Yuemin was really convinced.
I was also holding my breath. But there was nothing I could do. It didn't matter if Chen Yuemin was in charge. It was actually a hurdle for an ordinary civil servant to reach his position. Basically, if he didn't make any outstanding achievements, or as Deputy Mayor Xia said, he was lucky.
I can only stay in my current position for the rest of my life.
"Principal Chen, have you ever thought about becoming the director of the county education bureau?" Seeing that he had almost said it, Zhang Weidong helped Chen Yuemin add some red wine and asked.
"I take it for granted, but just think about it." Chen Yuemin picked up his wine glass and touched it with Zhang Weidong, laughing to himself.
Whether it is for the power in the hands or to realize one's own ambitions, no one wants to climb up. But the officialdom is like a pyramid. The higher you go up, the fewer positions there are, and the fewer people can climb up.
Chen Yuemin naturally wants to be the director of the county education bureau, but for him, this is more difficult than Liu Shengnan becoming the county magistrate directly.
"Principal Chen will tell you the truth. The reason why I asked you to dinner this time is for the position of the Director of Education Bureau. I can recommend you to be the Director of Education Bureau, but I hope you can be a competent Director of Education Bureau and don't be corrupt or engage in corruption."
Exam-oriented education..." Zhang Weidong said with a serious expression.
Seeing Zhang Weidong's mouth opening and closing making requests, Chen Yuemin felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven.
The director of the county education bureau. He is a full-time cadre, in charge of nearly a hundred schools in the entire county. The power in his hands is naturally different from that of the principal of a high school in the town. How can Zhang Weidong say that whoever is his belongs to him? Even the county party committee secretary
The final decision can only be made after a personnel meeting of the County Party Committee Standing Committee is held for discussion. Moreover, even if Zhang Weidong has a good relationship with Chu Chaohui, he is only a university teacher after all. Is it possible that Chu Chaohui still listens to him?
Although it felt like he was listening to a book from heaven, Chen Yuemin still felt that his heartbeat was speeding up and his throat was a little dry.
After waiting for Zhang Weidong to finish speaking for a while, Chen Yuemin took a big sip of red wine, and then said with a trembling voice: "Dr. Zhang, can you really recommend me to be the mayor?"
Zhang Weidong looked at Chen Yuemin who couldn't believe it but hoped that this was true. He couldn't help crying or laughing and said: "Of course, why else would I be talking to you about this?"
Chen Yuemin thought about it. Zhang Weidong was not full and had nothing to do. If he didn't have some confidence in his heart, how could he say these things to him?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuemin's heart beat faster and faster, he took another sip of red wine, and then said with a serious face: "Dr. Zhang, my dad used to be a teacher, and he was a good teacher. Although he has passed away now, his teachings have always been with me.
Keep it in mind that the reason why I chose the profession of teacher is also because of him, so don’t worry, if I really want to be the director of the Education Bureau, I will definitely live up to it, ahem."
Chen Yuemin originally wanted to say that I will definitely live up to your expectations. But looking at Zhang Weidong's face, which is about twenty years younger than himself, he couldn't say anything else.
Zhang Weidong didn't know that Chen Yuemin's father was also a teacher. Hearing this, he immediately felt a lot more cordial. This is because he himself embarked on the path of being a teacher precisely because of the influence of his parents. Seeing Chen Yuemin's words halfway through, he blushed.
While coughing dryly, Zhang Weidong couldn't help but smile and waved his hand to interrupt: "Then it's settled. I recommend you to be the director of the Education Bureau."
Seeing Zhang Weidong say this, Chen Yuemin's heart skipped a beat and he cautiously asked: "Dr. Zhang, how likely is this to be? Do you need to be prepared..."
"Don't fix those messy things." Zhang Weidong naturally knew what Chen Yuemin wanted to say, and his face sank slightly when he heard this.
For some reason, seeing Zhang Weidong's face darken, Chen Yuemin felt inexplicably frightened and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the current social atmosphere is like this, I am also afraid..."
Zhang Weidong also knows that the current social trend is indeed like this. If you ask someone to do something, if the thing is not done, the gift must be delivered first.
Seeing Chen Yuemin's worried look, Zhang Weidong hesitated and said, "Forget it, I'll make a call now to prevent you from being unable to sleep at night."
With that said, Zhang Weidong took out his cell phone and dialed Chu Chaohui.
The phone was quickly picked up, and Chu Chaohui's respectful voice came from inside: "Hello, uncle."
"Chaohui, regarding the candidate for the director of the Education Bureau, why don't you recommend Chen Yuemin, the principal of Pushan Town High School? I can trust his character." There is nothing to beat around the bush with Chu Chaohui. After hearing Chu Chaohui's voice, Zhang Weidong
Chen Yuemin was mentioned directly.
"Since he is the one chosen by his uncle, it must be right. I will say hello to the Wenchang County Party Committee Secretary later." Chu Chaohui said with a smile.
"That can't be said. I recommended the person, but you have to supervise the performance later. If you do well, you should be promoted. If you don't do well, what should you do?" Zhang Weidong said seriously.
"Yes, uncle, I understand." Chu Chaohui said solemnly when he heard this. He knew Zhang Weidong's character, and there was no need to continue to flatter him in this kind of matter.
"Okay, that's it." After saying that, Zhang Weidong hung up the phone.
Chaohui? When Zhang Weidong called, Chen Yuemin was naturally highly concentrated. However, when he heard the word Chaohui, he was stunned and didn't realize who it was. He had never thought about a young man like Zhang Weidong.
Many university teachers would call Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Chu Chaohui by his first name, and even omit his surname. It wasn't until Zhang Weidong hung up the phone that Chen Yuemin shivered violently.
He finally remembered who Chaohui was, wasn't he Secretary Chu Chaohui?!~!
