He was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
I said: "Old Director, I still don't think this matter is as hopeless as you think. Even Principal Teng said that the final decision-making power on this matter lies with the top leader. Old Director, I said
You must not be angry with a word. I think you may have entered into a misunderstanding in your thinking."
He looked at me, "Oh? Why did you say that?"
I smiled and said: "Old director, you are a person who has been in charge. Think about it, if you were the national admissions director, your deputy thought this matter was impossible, but you did it because of a certain
If you feel that this matter can be done despite your relationship, will you give too much consideration to your deputy’s opinion?”
He was about to speak, but I interrupted him immediately, "Furthermore, you are looking at the attitude of the two deputy directors of the National Admissions Office from the perspective of our Jiangnan Province Admissions Office. This is just like a certain person in our Jiangnan Province.
The city's recruitment office went to our place and found Ke Xiangnan or Shanglongxing. They said that a certain matter cannot be done, but I don't know yet. Old director, do you think this should be completely abandoned under such circumstances?
Something?"
He was suddenly moved, "This, you, what you said seems to make sense."
So I immediately said: "So, the key to the current problem still depends on the attitude of the leader. But we must be careful next. If we are not absolutely sure, we should not go to the leader for the time being. Old
Director, now I have asked Director Liang to go to our office in Beijing. I want to fully understand the situation of this leader through that channel. Old director, I also want to ask you, how much do you know about this leader?
"
He shook his head and said: "This leader has just taken charge of this area. He was another leader when I was here, but he retired at the end of last year. I don't know much about this new leader, but
I heard that he used to be the party secretary of a university in the northwest, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Education as director, and was just promoted to deputy minister and national admissions director at the end of last year."
I nodded and then asked, "Do you know what he does professionally?"
He shook his head and then asked me, "Is this important?"
I smiled and said: "Maybe it's not important. But I believe that a person's major is closely related to his preferences and personality."
He said: "It's very simple. You can find it out by looking it up online."
I slapped my thigh suddenly, "Yes, why did I forget this? Old director, are you confident now? Haha! In this way, I will go to the room to check the resume of this leader. I will read it today.
There's nothing else to do here. You can go out for a walk. Don't stay in the room all the time. Go out and move your muscles. It's good for your body."
I was about to stand up but was stopped by him. He said to me: "Director Feng, wait a minute. I'll tell you two things."
So I sat down again and looked at him. I found that he was frowning and thinking about something.
He immediately said to me: "That President Teng of Tsinghua University received us and did so many things for us for the sake of Director Leng's classmate. Although he is the vice president, Director Leng's classmate has the qualifications
But it is deeper, so it is inevitable for Principal Teng to give him face. Xiao Feng, what I mean is that since Principal Teng has the same idea as you, it means that he has a way to communicate with the leaders above. So this
This matter still requires Director Leng to come forward and do more work."
I nodded, "I think so too. But the old director, Director Leng, turned off his phone today, and he is not in the room. He probably drank too much when he was with one of his classmates yesterday. I think,
He will definitely come back tonight or tomorrow morning, and I will slowly report to him then."
He nodded, "The second thing. I think I should go back first. Because I feel that it is no longer suitable for me to stay here."
I was suddenly stunned, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why?"
He shook his head and said: "Think about it, I have already discussed this matter with the two deputy directors. If their top leaders later agree to this matter, how can they get along with it? After all, you and them haven't done anything yet.
If we have met, then you can completely pretend that you don’t know what I went to yesterday. In this case, at least they won’t feel embarrassed and won’t try their best to stop it. Of course, you should also start from work at that time.
It would be much easier to go up to the local level and meet them, treat them to a meal, send them something, and so on. So, if I stay here any longer, it will not help the situation at all, and it will only cause harm."
I had to admit that what he said was very reasonable, but... I immediately felt very ashamed, "Old director, I feel very sorry for you to be like this. This, if this is the case, wouldn't you become a thunderbolt?"
Already?"
He said with a "hehe" smile: "Xiao Feng, if this matter can be completed in the end, then I will feel that what I did yesterday will be more meaningful. I am the one who has retired, and I can help your generation."
It is also appropriate for young people to take risks. The key to the problem is that things must be done successfully, otherwise everything will be meaningless."
I immediately and emotionally said to him: "Old Director, I must get this done, because I have no way out. But your contribution to this matter is also very huge, from the initial planning to the present.
Everything you do..."
But he immediately interrupted me, "Xiao Feng, please stop talking. We will talk about this after the matter is successfully completed. Yes, you are right. At present, you have no way out. You can only try every means to solve this problem."
Everything is done. In this way, I will no longer stay here. I want to go back immediately. I am really not used to the climate here. I will go to the airport to buy a ticket back to Jiangnan now."
I hurriedly said: "Why are you in such a hurry? You should at least tell Director Leng first? The best thing is for you to stay here for a few days and then go back. Why bother?"
But he shook his head and said: "I don't want to go out to play in such a cold weather. Just tell me, Director Leng. I am a retired person, and I don't want to pay attention to those so-called rules anymore. It doesn't matter whether he is happy or not.
It's up to him. Haha! Xiao Feng, don't try to persuade me. This is my temper. What I want most now is to get home right away, let the old lady cook me two dishes, and then have some wine. More
comfortable."
After hearing what he said, I felt that he was definitely not going to change his mind, so I said to him: "Well, let's have lunch together before you leave. I'll have two drinks with you and then take you to the airport."
.What do you think?"
But he was still shaking his head, "No, I'll leave right away. Xiao Feng, don't see me off. There is a subway station not far from the hotel. I will be at the airport in a short time. I want to go back for lunch.
It's only half past nine. If I can catch the ten-thirty flight, I can get home at two in the afternoon. Stop talking, I'll leave right away. Don't worry about me. Really, I like to be alone.
Past."
I immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you so impatient than us young people?"
He immediately went to pack his things, but he had very few things, so he finished cleaning them in a few seconds. He smiled and said to me: "Xiao Feng, I'm leaving. In a moment, you can ask Xiao Liang to help me check out. I'll be honest with you."
Let's talk, today is my old lady's birthday. Since I am no longer suitable to stay here, I'd better rush back as soon as possible. Hey! You will know when you reach our age. The two of us have lived together all our lives, and now we are here.
I know that the two of us can be together on this year’s birthday, but I don’t know if we can be together next year.”
I hurriedly said: "How old are you? How can you say such a thing?"
He sighed: "When a person reaches about sixty years old, he always feels that he is getting closer and closer to death. You still can't experience this feeling. Okay, I won't say more, I will leave first.
