While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard Wu Shuang say: "Here we come."
Everyone looked towards the intersection entering the Beijing Office, and sure enough they saw a black Audi car slowly driving in.
All of us naturally moved Governor Huang to the front position. Half a step behind him was Governor He, and then behind him were everyone else. Only then did I realize
Director Hu from the Beijing Office is actually here. I didn’t even notice when he came. Maybe it’s because we were all attracted to Governor Huang and Governor He just now, or maybe it’s this person.
He has always been like this, he likes to stand quietly where he should be and is easily ignored by others. For example, now, I found him standing very quietly half a step behind Governor He, with a look on his face.
He was smiling, but his smile was facing an empty place. Consciously or unconsciously, he kept a basic distance from other people around him. He did not talk to everyone, and just stood there quietly.
.
Maybe, I misunderstood him at this moment.
The black Audi car stopped. After a while, Director Sun got out of the car and opened the door for Minister Dou. Minister Dou got out of the car. Today he was wearing a woolen coat. Only then did I really notice him.
He is at least 1.72 meters tall.
Then a middle-aged man wearing a down jacket got out of the car.
Governor Huang and Governor He had already walked over with smiles on their faces. I immediately followed and introduced them to each other. Minister Dou also introduced the middle-aged man in a down jacket to the two deputy governors. It turned out that he was
The deputy director of the National Admissions Office in charge of admissions to ordinary colleges and universities is named Chen.
Governor Huang's hand had already been shaken with Minister Dou's. Governor Huang smiled and said: "Minister Dou, it is our great honor that you can come to our Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing as a guest today."
Minister Dou said with a smile on his face: "Governor Huang, Governor He personally greeted me. Thank you so much." Then he went to shake hands with Governor He.
Governor Huang went to shake hands with Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, welcome."
After everyone was polite and exchanged a few words, Governor Huang stretched out his hand and made an "invite" gesture, and then said to him: "Minister Dou, I used to be the principal of a university. I remember ten years ago, the Ministry of Education #
A national meeting of university leaders was organized in Lushan. I wonder if Minister Dou attended that meeting?"
Minister Dou immediately stopped and said, "Did you go that time too? I went. Governor Huang, it would be great if we had known each other by then."
Governor Huang made a gesture again, and then walked forward with Minister Dou, "There were too many people attending that meeting, and everyone naturally formed several circles. The leaders of your Northwest universities are together.
For activities, those in the north are in a circle, and then those in the southern provinces. We in Jiangnan are together with those in the southwest, Hunan and Hubei provinces. This was the case until the last day of the dinner party."
Minister Dou laughed, "Yes, that's true. There are too many people, so it's normal for everyone to hang out with their acquaintances."
Governor Huang said with a smile: "Yes. But even though it has been ten years since that meeting, I still remember it very fresh. We were all in our forties at that time, right? But we felt as full of energy as young people.
Vitality. It’s been ten years, and it’s just a snap of the fingers.”
Minister Dou also sighed: "Yes."
Governor Huang said: "Minister Dou, you are now also the director of national admissions. May I suggest you also organize a meeting of national admissions directors? We, Jiangnan Province, will host it."
Minister Dou laughed and said, "Okay. It's great that you, Governor Huang, support this matter. But that would be too troublesome for you. It's very simple here. Just send a document to each province and city.
.”
At this time, Director Chen said: "We are going to hold a national admissions meeting in April this year. Minister Dou, do you think we can arrange to hold it in Jiangnan Province?"
Minister Dou went to look at Governor Huang and Governor He, "Two governors, then this matter has been decided like this?"
Governor Huang laughed and said: "Great! This is also a major event in our Jiangnan Province. Governor He, please be responsible for this matter."
Governor He said boldly: "Okay. Minister Dou, Director Chen, then we have decided. I will arrange this matter immediately after I return this time."
A big thing was decided in such a simple conversation and laughter. At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh at the magic of power: such a big thing can be decided with just a word from the leader.
So, what about the matter I came to Beijing to handle this time? Isn’t it just a matter of Minister Dou’s words?
The group of people got on the elevator and walked towards the courtyard. Governor Huang stood there and said, "Director Dou, is this your first time coming to our office? Our conditions here are not bad. From now on, Dou
If the minister is free, please come and inspect often."
Minister Dou looked at the patches of green in the courtyard, as well as the beautiful tables and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, "There is no eBay in this place. If it is summer and autumn, it would be very interesting for a few friends to sit here, drink tea and chat."
Governor Huang, your office is simply a paradise in the capital."
Governor Huang smiled and said: "What kind of peach blossom garden is this? Jiangnan is full of beautiful scenery. If your meeting is held in April, it will be the most beautiful season in Jiangnan. I will accompany you to a place then, Minister Dou.
, you will definitely like it.”
Minister Dou said: "Oh? What kind of place is it?"
Governor Huang smiled and said: "Minister Dou, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the details now, lest you say you are too busy with work."
Minister Dou laughed and said, "If Governor Huang goes to lecture on storytelling, there will definitely be a lot of listeners. The suspense you left in me is now making me feel itchy."
Governor Huang also laughed, "Minister Dou, I can tell you one thing now, that is, the place I am going to take you to is exactly the same as Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring"!"
Minister Dou had a longing look on his face, "Do you still have such a place in Jiangnan Province? As far as I know, Tao Yuanming was just fantasizing when he wrote this article."
Governor Huang said: "It is exactly the same as what Tao Yuanming described. In a big mountain, with lush trees, walking along a trail, the road ahead stops abruptly, but you will suddenly find a faint shadow among the trees.
There is a cave about 20 meters long. There is a faint light in the distance. Then you continue to move forward. Soon you will suddenly feel that there is another world in front of you... Ah,
I won’t say it anymore, I can’t say it anymore. In short, the scenery there is simply breathtaking. If you and I go inside to drink tea and chat, Minister Dou, you will definitely be happy to miss Shu."
Director Dou turned around and smiled at Director Chen and said: "Director Chen, look at our Governor Huang, how good he is at inviting guests. You said, Jiangnan has such fascinating scenery. If we don't go, won't we regret it for the rest of our lives?
?”
Director Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I want to go now."
Everyone laughed.
Governor He immediately said: "I have been to that place, and it is indeed so beautiful. There is also a kind of fish there, which is said to swim out of the Yin River. Its color is crystal clear, and you can see the fish inside it from the outside.
Bones, it is said that eating this kind of fish will prolong your life."
Minister Dou smiled and said, "Oh? Then has Governor He eaten it?"
Governor He smiled and replied: "Not to mention, I have actually eaten it. I used to have white hair on both sides of my hair, but within a month after eating that fish, it all turned black."
Minister Dou laughed and said, "Okay, I will definitely go and taste it then. If I stay there for a few more days, maybe I will become a young man."
Governor He said: "Minister Dou, you can't eat that kind of fish every day. There is a spring there, and only when there is heavy rain on the other side of the mountain, one or two kilograms of fish like that will come out of the spring. Come.
Before you go, we have to have the fish prepared in advance and then feed it in a spring pool without light."
Minister Dou said: "So that's it. Well, I will definitely go to Jiangnan in April this year."
Only now do I understand that the purpose of what Governor Huang said was to consolidate Minister Dou’s decision just now. Now it seems that there is no problem in holding the National Enrollment Work Conference in April this year in our Jiangnan Province.
Immediately, Governor Huang invited Minister Dou to go upstairs. Governor He followed closely, accompanied by Director Chen. Behind him were Director Leng, myself, and Director Sun from the National Admissions Office. The people behind also followed upstairs.
When we arrived at the beer house outside the private room, we immediately smelled the aroma of beer.
Governor Huang stopped and introduced: "The beer we have here is real German draft beer. If Minister Dou is interested, you can have a drink later."
Minister Dou smiled bitterly and said, "I suffer from gout and cannot drink this stuff."
Governor Huang immediately came to me and asked: "Director Feng, you have been a doctor. Can gout be completely cured?"
I hurriedly replied: "Simply from a medical point of view, such a problem cannot be completely treated, because such a disease is caused by an enzyme deficiency in the human body, so it can only be treated through external supplementation. Like this
The disease is actually not a big problem, but you can't eat beans, animal offal, seafood, beer, etc. However, I heard that if you insist on drinking a small cup of pure French brandy every day for half a year to a year, this problem can be cured.
As for the reason behind this, no one can explain clearly."
Minister Dou came to me in surprise and asked: "Is it true?"
I said: "Anyway, I have heard several gout patients tell me about this. However, this method may be surprising to some individuals, and it may not be very effective for some people."
Director Dou said: "Then let me give it a try. This disease is really troublesome and I can't even eat good food. Haha! Director Feng, thank you for telling me this method."
I smiled and said, "Director Dou, we have prepared pure French brandy today. You can try some first."
Director Dou looked at me and said, "Director Feng, you have really good intentions."
At this moment, I immediately felt that my face was getting hot because Minister Dou's words made me feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, my cell phone rang suddenly at this time, and I hurriedly answered it, "Director Feng, the leaders of Peking University and Tsinghua University are here."
The call was from Director Liang. I suddenly felt ashamed: I had almost forgotten this! I was so focused on welcoming Director Dou that I forgot about the fact that other guests were coming!
I hurriedly went to Governor He and said: "Governor He, the leaders of Peking University and Tsinghua University are here. Look..."
She nodded, "You, me, and Director Leng will go to greet them."
After the three of us got to the elevator, Governor He immediately came to look at me and said, "Director Feng, why are you so rough in doing things? You and Director Leng were supposed to be waiting for them below just now?"
Although her tone was not harsh, it made me feel a huge pressure coming towards me. (To be continued)
