Chapter 1485

We had a pleasant meal, and I found that the old director was indeed very accurate in observing people. Shanglongxing was really a very gentle woman. I couldn't help but think: Her husband must be very happy.

I asked her this question, "Director Shang, what does your wife do?"

She smiled and answered me: "He is a reporter from our Jiangnan Evening News."

I smiled and said: "The uncrowned king. Journalists are a good profession."

She said: "It's okay. But I'm too busy with work and running around all day long. I take care of our children. In the past, when I went to work for a temporary job, I could only leave the children to my parents."

I immediately asked her: "What will you do when you come to Beijing this time?"

She said: "Now my parents live in my house, and my sister has also come to the provincial capital to study at university. She often runs to my house. Someone takes care of the child."

I nodded and suddenly felt a little pain in my heart. I said: "It's better to take care of the child by yourself. Director Shang, there aren't many things going on here in Beijing. We may have to go back in a few days. Well, you can go earlier."

Go back, because there is really nothing to do if you stay here. Of course, you can stay in Beijing for a few more days, you can decide for yourself."

She asked me: "Are you really not busy at work here?"

I nodded, "To be precise, we made the decision last night. Director Shang, you may be asked to travel more to other places in the future, such as Tongji University, Fudan University, etc."

She said: "Okay, I'll go back today. To tell you the truth, Director Feng, today is my son's fifth birthday."

I hurriedly said: "Ah, then go back quickly. I'll call Director Liang right away to book a flight for you."

Shanglongxing left on a plane after four o'clock in the afternoon. I went to see her off and bought her a gift at the airport: a sterling silver longevity lock.

On the way back to the hotel, I suddenly received a call from Mu Jiao, "Uncle Feng, are you still in Beijing?"

I was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer her.

I don't want to see her again. And I already understand the intention of her call because it's the weekend now.

I said: "Mu Jiao, things don't happen so quickly for you. Do you understand?"

She smiled coquettishly on the phone, "I know. I mean, if you were still in Beijing, I would ask for leave to come out and play with you."

I said: "I have already gone back. Let's talk about it later."

She said softly: "You are lying. You are obviously still in Beijing. If you really go back, you will definitely not say that you have gone back, but you should say that you have come back."

I didn't expect that she had inherited her mother's talent in this area, and something suddenly came to mind: Did Nursery Rhyme find Jordan? How was the conversation between them? I said: "I'm so busy, where can I find it?"

Do you have time to play? And there are so many people with me, so don’t come. I’ll help you ask about that matter when I go back in a few days, okay?”

She stopped talking. I suddenly felt soft-hearted, "Mujiao, be obedient. Your task now is to study hard. Your parents will be truly happy only if you make a difference in the future. Do you think so?"

"Yeah." She responded to me in a whisper. Then I hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, I immediately called Nursery Rhyme, but I immediately gave up the idea because I thought it would be better for me to stay out of the matter so as not to cause trouble again.

The old director and Director Liang came back. They told me that the matter was done and they invited Director Chen out for a meal at noon and gave me the money as a gift.

I asked hurriedly: "How did he react?"

The old director smiled lightly and said: "What's the reaction? We drank a lot of wine and didn't talk about that matter at all at the beginning. I thought it would be easy to handle as long as he accepted it, so we just talked about it at the wine table.

We chatted with him. As a result, we received a call from him on the way back. He told us to go back and prepare for a meeting with the admissions principals of prestigious schools as soon as possible."

I was overjoyed and said, "Great. Director, Director Liang, you have worked hard today." But then I started to worry, "How much will this meeting cost?"

The old director said: "You don't have to worry about this. We will provide Director Chen with the list of schools we need as soon as possible. I think there will only be about twenty schools. At that time, each person will budget 10,000 yuan for expenses, plus one for each person."

A gift of 10,000 yuan is only worth 500,000 to 600,000 yuan."

I said: "The problem is that Peking University and Tsinghua University have made such a start. If other schools want to do the same thing, it will be troublesome. How can we have enough funds?"

The old director smiled and said: "How many Peking University and Tsinghua University are there in the country? Other schools also need to pay, but it is not that high. Anyway, the provincial government gives us 10 million yuan a year, and it will be enough if we save money."

In fact, the real concern in my heart did not lie in this, but I thought of the old director's character, so I didn't say it out loud.

Let’s wait until everything is done. I thought to myself.

Yes, I felt uneasy at this moment, because I suddenly discovered that the 10 million the provincial government gave us was not a big sum. If it were spread out to so many schools, it would not be enough. So I was very worried.

In the future, it may be due to lack of funds, or the superiors may propose using those unplanned quotas to sell money.

That's fine, but what I'm more worried about is that someone will make personal money out of it. You know, those unplanned indicators are completely in the hands of our provincial admissions office, and someone will bribe them.

Someone from the recruitment department in our province asks for a quota for his child. This situation is very likely to happen.

Under the current situation in our country, it would be strange if such a situation did not happen. The key to the problem here is that I personally cannot control such a situation from happening, because it is simply impossible for me to verify every situation.

Which candidate has an unplanned enrollment quota fallen on, let alone how he obtained it? Enrollment work is inherently flexible, who can understand the transactions behind it so clearly?

Now, I find that I can no longer control the situation. So many schools have suddenly added so many indicators this year, and our funds are insufficient. These things have already started to give me a headache.

I thought about it and felt that the best way now is to take a safe approach. I said: "Old director, let's go to ten famous schools first. If there are more, it may not be a good thing."

The old director said: "It took a lot of effort to get things done this time, why not do it in one step? You know, this is your political achievement."

Yes, from a purely political performance perspective, I should indeed get the job done in one step. Otherwise, why would I spend so much energy doing this? So, I immediately hesitated again.

Director Liang asked me: "Director Feng, do you have any concerns?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Money, everything is a matter of money. If you bring so many schools here, what will you do if you can't pay so much money? It's like building a house. It's easy to put bricks on it, but once it collapses,

It’s just a big piece. In that case, we will probably lose all our efforts in the future.”

The old director nodded and said: "Yes. This is indeed a problem. So, I will calculate it now to see how many schools are suitable, but the most influential universities in the country must be included."

Director Liang said: "I think this matter can be easily handled. At that time, we can charge the cost of taking the candidates for the enrollment expansion plan. Or half of it. Just like our current recruitment."

The old director immediately said: "No! In this case, what's the point of doing this?"

But I was thinking in my heart: It seems that my worries are justified. It would be abnormal if no one thought this way.

Director Liang said: "Old Director, this is not what I am thinking. I think it is inevitable. If the provincial finance spends 10 million, it is impossible not to think of not taking it back. Our province's finances are so difficult.

, it will not pass the National People’s Congress review in the future.”

I had never thought of such a question, "No way? Governor Huang has never said anything about this."

The old director sighed: "It's very possible. Except for projects such as poverty alleviation and renovation of dilapidated buildings in primary and secondary schools, our province's fiscal expenditures are all recouped through project charges. Just like the current highways

The same principle applies: the state invests first and then collects fees. However, with more highways, people travel more conveniently, goods transportation becomes smoother, and the economy develops. Moreover, people also think that fees should also be charged.

of."

I said: "But, it was agreed in advance that a fee would be charged for such projects? We have never mentioned this at all. Governor Wang did not say this at the executive meeting of the provincial government at that time?"

The old director shook his head and said: "How can such a thing be mentioned at a government executive meeting? Even those who are bitches know how to build a memorial arch. What's more, we didn't know at that time whether this matter would succeed or not. Anyway, Director Feng, we are still

Let’s take it one step at a time, Xiao Liang is right, this matter may eventually reach that point.”

I was very surprised because the old director was not as rigid as I thought. On the contrary, he accepted the possible reality so quickly.

I said: "The problem is, if we do this, this situation will definitely happen, because doing so will definitely cause a budget deficit, and then we can only prompt the leaders to let us take that step."

Director Liang looked at me, "Director Feng, I have something I don't know whether I should say?"

I nodded and said, "Go ahead. From now on, you can say whatever you want in front of me. Don't be so polite. We are all here for work, right?"

He smiled and said: "Okay, then I will tell you everything from now on. Director Feng, I know what you are thinking. In your heart, you really want to do something practical for the candidates in the province.

It’s a good thing, and it’s precisely because of such a good wish that you tried every means to make this happen. But the old director is right, the provincial finance cannot just use more than 10 million yuan of funds in vain.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the province to allocate 10 million yuan every year to carry out what they consider to be your political performance projects. In this case, Governor Huang will not be able to tell. Do you think so?

?In today’s economy and society, whoever can create more GDP is the real political achievement. Therefore, it is inevitable to charge for this matter in the future. It is not because we have done it that the leaders have to do it. Director Feng,

I think your causal relationship is not valid. Of course, you can ask Governor Huang or Governor He now to find out what they mean."

After listening to what he said, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, because I thought what he said was very reasonable.

The old director was looking at me, "Director Feng, you ask first. I will provide the list to Director Chen tomorrow."

I suddenly felt a headache, "Let me think about it."

The old director and Director Liang said goodbye and went out. I was alone in the room and began to think painfully: How could it be like this? No way. However, I thought that what Director Liang said did make sense. After all, we are in Jiangnan.

As a poor province, the province's renovation of dilapidated primary and secondary schools had to be requested by Governor He personally and Governor Huang agreed to increase the funding by another 20 million. It is really impossible for the provincial finance to allocate 10 million for a matter like ours.

imagination.

Also, although Director Liang’s words are unpleasant to hear, they get to the crux of the problem: It is impossible for the provincial finance department to allocate such a large amount of money to create political achievements for me personally. If that is really the case,

It’s really hard to tell Governor Huang. (To be continued)
