The celebration has begun, and what came from the loudspeaker was that the host was introducing the distinguished guests attending today's celebration. As expected, the leaders who came this time were of a high level. The minister of the Ministry of Education was present in person, as well as several ministers.
Chief. In addition, the top leaders of the four major families in the province are all here.
At this moment, I feel even more that I should not have omitted Jiangnan University from our plan. This is not just a matter of omission, it should be related to our own face.
Fortunately, today is here. I said to myself in my heart.
Unknowingly, I arrived near the rostrum of the stadium. This rostrum is actually a converted stand, but when I got here, I was stopped by the school security.
I said: "I am the director of the Provincial Admissions Office, and I have something to do with Governor He's secretary."
The security guard said: "Do you have a pass?"
I was very angry, but also helpless, "No."
The security guard said: "Then you can't go in."
I had no choice but to call Secretary He. But I felt very unhappy because being rejected like this made me feel embarrassed and lose face.
"Mi He, I can't come in outside. Could you please come out?" I said after the call was connected.
She immediately laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I asked the leader of their school to pick you up. I can't leave the leader too far."
I can only wait here. But at this moment, I am thinking in my heart: If I were still a young doctor now, would I be as unhappy as this?
When I thought about it, I immediately felt relieved. Because I found that my embarrassment and unhappiness was actually because I took myself too seriously.
Why bother? Who are you, the provincial admissions director, on an occasion like today? I said to myself in my heart. In fact, it is also to make myself feel at peace.
But I didn't like the security guard in front of me, and I couldn't help but think of a word in my mind: Dog eyes look down on people.
Being able to convince myself is one thing, but my heart is still burdened by fame. I find that I have changed and have really become worldly. And my biggest problem is that I simply cannot control my worldliness.
.
After a while, I saw Secretary He walking from a distance. Next to her was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a blue striped tie. The two of them were talking and laughing and were walking towards me.
.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance in front of me.
"This is President Qin, who is in charge of admissions at Jiangnan University." Secretary He introduced me with a smile when he entered the entrance.
Principal Qin smiled heartily at me and said, "Director Feng, I'm sorry." Then he glared at the security guard and said, "What did you do? Director Feng is the leader of the Provincial Education Commission, why are you so rude?"
The security guard looked at him in fear, and then came to see me again. His mouth moved but no words came out. I smiled and said, "Principal Qin, please stop criticizing him. He is also doing his duty."
Principal Qin and Secretary He had already come out of the entrance. Principal Qin came to shake hands with me, "Director Feng, I'm sorry. Mainly because you are too young. Our security guard could not have imagined that there would be such a young leader. Haha!"
This vice principal is very good at talking. I thought to myself. I smiled and said: "Principal Qin, you really know how to joke. What kind of big leader am I?"
Secretary He said to me at this time: "Director Feng, I have already made an agreement with Governor He. Now let's go to Principal Qin's office and let's borrow his precious space to discuss the matter."
I hurriedly said to Principal Qin: "Thank you, Principal Qin."
Principal Qin said with a smile: "It's a small matter. I'll open the office for you, and you can talk about it slowly."
I looked at him and said, "Principal Qin, I also want to discuss something with you. When will you be free?"
He immediately came to ask Secretary He and I, "Will my presence affect your discussion?"
I went to look at Secretary He. Secretary He smiled and said, "It's okay. We are not talking about any confidential matters, but about the latest reception."
Principal Qin smiled and said: "Director Feng, let's talk together later. I know that what you, the senior director, want to talk to me about must be good things."
I smiled and said nothing. In fact, I was thinking: What price should I consider when I discuss the matter with him later?
After arriving at Principal Qin's office, he took the initiative to leave for a while. He told Secretary He and me that he would wait in the school office next to us until we finished talking.
Because I thought that I would discuss the matter with Secretary He later, I didn’t say anything more and just kept thanking him.
"How is it? What instructions does Governor He have?" I asked Principal Qin immediately after she left.
She said: "I reported your communication with the director of the National Admissions Office to Governor He. Her opinion is that we should still act according to our ability, and we cannot give people whatever they want. Governor He said that if this continues
If it does, it may become a bottomless pit in the future.”
I think Governor He's opinion is quite reasonable, but... I thought about it and said: "Secretary He, after all, he is the immediate boss of our provincial recruitment office, and this matter is so...
It's important, if something goes wrong in the middle, the consequences will be unimaginable. It doesn't matter about the other things, the key is the funds spent, and the follow-up funds... He Mi, some things are not
Do you need me to explain it clearly? You should understand."
Now, although I clearly know what kind of consequences the enrollment expansion will bring, it still puts me in a difficult position. So the only thing I can do is to let this matter continue. Otherwise, it will not only be mine.
It would be ugly, and it would also be embarrassing for Governor He. What’s more, she still needs the funds I have.
Of course, I can't tell such a thing openly. Of course I know that Secretary He should know about the funds, but I still can't tell it directly in front of her. If that matter really needs to be taken seriously.
It's an illegal operation, so everyone just knows what's going on.
Because of this, I had to remind her. Of course, by reminding her, I was also reminding Governor He.
She thought for a while and then nodded, "Yes. Director Feng, I actually think that Governor He's words are just a principle. How to control it is your own business. Governor He is the leader after all.
She can only speak in principle. Director Feng, do you think so?"
I was thinking in my heart: Even though you are saying this, who will take responsibility if something happens in the future? But I also know that we can only make the decision on such things. When we are subordinates, we can only be like this: responsibility must be taken.
Take the responsibility and let it go if nothing happens. If something happens, you will be the only one who will be unlucky. If you meet a good leader, he may come forward to speak for us. If you meet the kind of leader who only cares about himself.
That would be troublesome. Maybe he will pass all the responsibilities away by then.
Judging from the previous contacts with Governor He, I think she is still a leader who is willing to take responsibility for her subordinates. Of course, this is also my expectation, after all, the heart of a leader is the most difficult to understand.
I nodded and said, "That's right. But Secretary He, I still have to trouble you to report this matter to Governor He. If she wants to stop it, we will consider it separately immediately."
Now I can only do this: if Governor He doesn't say anything next, then I will regard her attitude as a kind of acquiescence. (To be continued)
