"What did you say?" In the principal's office of No. 2 Middle School, Principal Zhou didn't seem to hear clearly what Director Ma just said, and the hand that was pouring tea couldn't help but stop.

"What? You're deaf before you retire?" Director Ma said with a smile: "I said that Lao Luo's medical retirement report has been officially reported, and I plan to let Song Yuanchao succeed Lao Luo as the workshop director."

"Let Xiao Song be the workshop director?" Principal Zhou handed the tea to Factory Manager Ma and sat down on the sofa nearby: "I remember that Xiao Song went to work in the school-run factory for less than two months, right?"

"I let Xiao Song be the director of this workshop purely for work, and definitely not because of your principal's face." Director Ma seemed to guess what Principal Zhou was going to say, lit a cigarette and said, "Although Xiao Song has only been here for a short time,

Some, but after my inspection, I feel that he can be qualified as a workshop manager.

I would like to take this position. My old man, Ma, has been participating in revolutionary work for decades, and his vision of people is absolutely unmistakable. Xiao Song is smart, capable, educated, and motivated, plus he is still a school worker.

Due to emotions and reasons, Lao Luo is the most suitable candidate for the workshop director when he retires."

"Lao Ma, I heard that you became a master to aid Korea?" Principal Zhou asked with a smile.

"I said, Lao Zhou, what happened if I became his master? Master and apprentice are masters and apprentices, and work is work. When promoting talents, one should not avoid relatives. Besides, think about it, I have been educated by the revolution for so many years. If I hadn't been so optimistic about Xiao Song

Can I recognize this person as my apprentice?" When Principal Zhou said this, Director Ma immediately became unhappy.

Seeing that Director Ma was a little angry, Principal Zhou smiled and waved his hand: "Old Ma, if others don't know what kind of person you are, how can I not understand you? Of course I am happy that you are optimistic about aiding Korea. After all, he is Lao Song's son.

, we are old colleagues with Lao Song, and you and I are his elders. Of course, it is too late to be happy that the children of old friends and colleagues have achieved success. But Lao Ma, there are some things I have never told you before. In fact, this is aid to Korea.

……Why!"

"What? Is it possible that he has any political problems?" When Principal Zhou said this, Director Ma suddenly became a little wary. Why didn't he notice it after he and Song Yuanchao had been together for so many days?

"Problem? Of course not! Absolutely not!"

Seeing that Director Ma had misunderstood, Principal Zhou waved his hand quickly, and then told Director Ma the truth about the conversation he had with Song Yuanchao.

After finishing speaking, Principal Zhou sighed and said: "It's a pity that the kid who aided Korea didn't go to college. I didn't want him to go to the school to run a factory. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange it directly in the school library? This way

He can study well and take this year's college entrance examination. But he is determined to go to school to set up a factory. I really can't stop him, but from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that this child can take the college entrance examination."

"Is there such a thing?" This was the first time Director Ma heard Principal Zhou mention this matter, and he had a surprised expression on his face.

But soon Director Ma laughed again: "What did I think it was? Isn't it just to go to college? I think Xiao Song's idea is right. In fact, there is something I didn't tell you. Guess what it is?"

"

"What's the matter?" Principal Zhou asked curiously.

Director Ma was smoking a cigarette and recounted the conversation he had with Song Yuanchao on the first day he came to the school to set up a factory. He especially mentioned that Director Ma gave Song Yuanchao two arrangements. The first one was to set up a factory in the school.

office, and the second one is the workshop.

Factory Director Ma originally thought that Song Yuanchao would choose a position in the office, but to his surprise, Song Yuanchao chose the workshop instead, and his attitude was extremely determined.

This was one of the main reasons why Director Ma was tempted to accept Song Yuanchao as his disciple. In his opinion, although Song Yuanchao was young, he was a person who could do things down-to-earth. How could such an outstanding young man not be cherished as a leader?

What's more, there is still a relationship between him and Song Yuanchao, Song Guangzeng, so Director Ma made an exception and accepted Song Yuanchao as his apprentice. You must know that Director Ma has been running factories in the school for so many years. Song Yuanchao is his only apprentice.

"Xiao Song, this kid would rather leave the workshop than stay in the office. His quality can be seen from this alone, so I will accept him as my apprentice." Director Ma said with a little pride, he took a puff of cigarette and blew out

Yan Yan glanced at Principal Zhou beside him and sighed: "Old Zhou, you and I are no longer young people. After so many years, look, our hair is all white."

"Lao Luo retired due to illness, and the position of workshop director must be replaced by someone. I think Xiao Song is the most suitable candidate at the moment. Besides, my body seems to be fine from the outside, but I know the actual situation best in my heart. The root cause of the disease that happened before

This change is really annoying. If I work for another year or two, I will quit. Who will take over this factory then? Should I let you, Lao Zhou, come? Or someone transferred from school who doesn’t know anything? Shouldn’t we rely on Xiao Song?

Is such a good person coming to take over?"

In Factory Manager Ma's mind, Song Yuanchao is already his successor. This situation is not uncommon in many companies, especially small businesses like school-run factories.

Song Yuanchao is capable and educated, and he is extremely satisfied with everything he does as the director of the factory. As he said, why should such a good young man only take the college entrance exam? Besides, even if Song Yuanchao graduates from college, he will be assigned a slightly better job at best.

Work, and Director Ma directly stated that Song Yuanchao would take over his shift in the future. Isn't this promise enough?

"Old Ma, I'm afraid this is wishful thinking on your part, right?" Although Principal Zhou admitted in his heart that Director Ma's words were reasonable, he still couldn't get rid of the idea of ​​Song Yuanchao's college entrance examination, and he still wanted to make a final effort.

"If Yuan Korea can get into college, it will be the best help for his future prospects. Although your idea of ​​letting him take over your class in the future is good, we can't be so selfish as human beings. We have to think about our children's future!"

"What do you mean? You drank a little more ink and became the principal, so you look down on us working class people?" Director Ma suddenly became angry and glared at Principal Zhou sideways.

"You...I...can't do it anyway! This matter must not be decided so hastily. I am the principal! This matter is related to the future of the child, and you must listen to me!"

"Hey! You are the principal, and I am still the director of the factory! Are you being unreasonable? Are you trying to show your power to me? Don't forget that when you were being detained and criticized, if I hadn't led someone to rescue you, you would have been such an old person.

It’s gone!”

The two guys, who were over a hundred years old in total, were suddenly tit for tat as if they were children. Seeing Director Ma blowing his beard and glaring at him, Principal Zhou finally understood what it means to be a scholar and a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Old Ma, why can't you just be reasonable and talk so far?" Factory Director Ma started to protest. Principal Zhou's momentum became weaker, but he still insisted on the bottom line and refused to give in.

Neither of the two old guys could convince the other for a while. Director Ma angrily lit up another cigarette and smoked it heavily.

After taking a few puffs, Director Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Principal Zhou and said: "Okay, Old Zhou, it doesn't matter what I said, and it doesn't matter what you said. To put it bluntly, everyone is doing it for Xiao Song's good.

, so there is no need to make a fuss. In my opinion, since this matter is related to Xiao Song, why not ask for his personal opinion? You are the school leader and you have to pay attention to the methods and methods of doing things, but you should also listen to the opinions of the masses.

,Yes or no?"

"this……."

Principal Zhou was immediately speechless. When did this old horse learn this trick? These words really embarrassed him.

In fact, Principal Zhou also knows that if he seeks Song Yuanchao's opinion, there is a high possibility that Director Ma will succeed. But if he rejects Director Ma's proposal and goes his own way, then Director Ma will definitely not give in.

of.

What's more, forcing a melon to drink is not sweet, and forcing a cow to drink water is counterproductive. Principal Zhou certainly understands this truth.
