I thought to myself: Anyway, I don’t have anything urgent at hand right now, so I will follow you wherever you bring up the subject. Anyway, just one thing: I will never take the initiative to bring up Minister Dou’s affairs with you.
I entrusted Ruan Jie to tell her about that matter, but I will never come forward myself. Even if there is any problem with this matter in the future, there will still be room for change.
After I answered her question just now, she immediately came to me with a smile and asked: "Director Feng, do you think I am a good person?"
I smiled bitterly and replied: "Who dares to say that he is a good person? I don't dare to say that myself. What I am talking about is just a general principle. You can experience the specific things yourself. Again, every unit
Every situation is different and can only be dealt with on a case-by-case basis."
She smiled and said: "Forget it. I believe that I can be a good principal. I am originally engaged in education. Director Feng, why did you ask Ruan Jie to call me?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood: this woman wanted me to assign a "task" to her in person.
I completely believe that Ruan Jie told her the basic meaning, otherwise Ruan Jie should follow her to my office. Zeng Yufang came to me alone today, and I don’t think Ruan Jie knew her at all.
Coming today.
The reason for this is very simple: Ruan Jie is my subordinate, and I have assigned the task to her. If she completes the task like this, she will definitely be criticized by me.
One good thing about Ruan Jie is that she is very serious about her work, and she will not slack off in her work because of her personal relationship with me.
I smiled faintly and then said: "Principal Zeng, you may have made a mistake. I did not ask Ruan Jie to call me. Maybe Ruan Jie has something to do with you. Why don't you ask later?
she?"
Her face turned red all of a sudden, and she was stunned for a while before saying: "Okay. Maybe I made a mistake. What does your provincial recruitment matter have to do with me? I am also a division-level cadre, and I have to accompany guests.
Please ask someone else to do it."
I said calmly: "That is a matter between you and Ruan Jie as friends to help each other, and it has nothing to do with our unit. However, you are now considered a person in the department directly under our provincial education system. It would be unreasonable to say that it has no relationship at all.
Right? Haha! Of course, no one will force you to do some things, after all, you are a division-level cadre."
I thought she would stand up and leave immediately after I said these words, but she didn't. She immediately came to look at me, staring at me so hard that I hurriedly avoided her eyes.
But my expression had become indifferent. I was thinking in my heart: If she said anything unpleasant, I would have to expel the guest immediately.
But she still didn't. Then she sighed softly, "Feng Xiao, do you think I'm cheap?"
I do not speak.
She continued: "I also feel that I am cheap. Sometimes I think, as a woman, what is wrong with staying in college? Why do I have to come out? And I came out in that way. But
I am not willing to accept it. Although I am a woman, my man is incompetent, and I have also been to the countryside and served as deputy county magistrate. After I came back, I was so despised and even abused. I stayed in the assigned position in school.
It feels like sitting on pins and needles every day. Hey!"
I knew her situation completely, and hearing her tell it so tearfully made me feel uncomfortable. In the final analysis, this kind of discomfort meant that I felt unfair on her behalf.
I sighed immediately, and then said to her softly: "I understand you."
She looked at me, her eyes full of sorrow, "You can definitely help me, but you just won't help me. Instead, you just let me be abused by such an old man."
When she said this, I felt uncomfortable again, but I tried my best not to show my indifference. I said: "There are some things I don't know and don't want to know. By the way, Principal Zeng, I want to ask
A question for you: Have you, the principal, also served as the party committee secretary of your school?"
Of course I deliberately changed the topic, and now I feel that there are some things that I should remind her of. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for my guilt towards her.
She looked at me in astonishment and then answered me, "The party committee secretary is a gay man not much older than me. He used to be a deputy director of the Provincial Education Commission."
I nodded, "The school implements a principal responsibility system under the leadership of the party committee secretary. The situation at Jiangnan Medical University is different. The former principal Zhang is now the principal Wu... Haha! You should understand what I mean. Also
Yes, the situation in the Provincial Education Commission is very complicated, and every division-level cadre has a background behind him. You should pay attention to it in your work in the future."
In fact, my words have been very clear: you are not the number one, you can only be regarded as the number two. If you don't sit upright, things will be difficult in the future. I believe she can understand what I say.
Her face immediately turned red, "I've only been there a few days, so I'm not familiar with the situation..."
I said: "This is a very taboo thing. Before a person comes to a new unit, he should understand what kind of position he is in the new unit. Also, I think there is one thing that I must remind you: many units
The relationship between the first and second-in-command was not good, so the second-in-command did the work of the first-in-command. You and I are very aware of the situation in the medical university, but one thing you must understand is that if you don’t have that diamond, you don’t want to take on such a porcelain job, no matter it was in the past
Whether it’s Principal Zhang or today’s Principal Wu, what they did was not random, they were confident. It is very important for a person to rely on his or her own strength to do anything."
She listened quietly, and when I finished speaking, she said softly: "Thank you for telling me so much."
My heart suddenly moved, and the sentence in my mind that I had wanted to tell her many times was suddenly spoken out, "Yu Fang, you may not be happy if I say something, but I feel that I must
I want to tell you."
She whispered: "You tell me."
I went to look out the window, sighed and said: "Israel does not last forever. As a woman, the most important thing should be self-respect and self-love. There is nothing wrong with you being with the man you like. Even if you don't like it,
Even if it is to solve your own physiological problems, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the times are different now. As a human being, there is no need to suppress your desires. Life is short. As a woman, your flowering season is already shorter.
.However, it would not be good if you always use yourself as a tool to seek certain interests. I'm sorry, my words were too straightforward. Although it is hard to hear, I don't think there is any malice."
She stopped talking.
At this time, I also felt a little regretful: If I told her like this, what if she no longer agrees to accompany Minister Dou this time? In fact, only I know the ambivalence I feel at this moment. I am indeed very conflicted:
On the one hand, I felt that I needed to remind her, but on the other hand, I was worried that she would refuse to participate in the reception because of this.
But the words have already been spoken by me. As for what will happen next, I can only let nature take its course. Besides, Governor He said such words to me last time. I can't be guilty of it.
Do you really want to ask her for permission? What is the use of asking for permission on such a matter? Will she clearly say "agree"? According to my understanding, when she called me to talk about this matter, she was actually expressing her disgust.
It's just her attitude on this matter. Besides, as a leader, as long as she knows about such a thing, she must have her own attitude, right? That's it.
Also, what I just said to Zeng Yufang can also be considered as an attitude on my part. In addition, it would be better if she could use my words to say to Ruan Jie. The two of them are in some respects.
have common problems.
Seeing that she didn't speak, I was about to continue to say some meaningless words to her to lighten the atmosphere. At this time, the old director opened the door and came in, "Director Feng, this is a document from the National Admissions Office about this meeting. Take a look.
.Oh? Are there guests?”
Zeng Yufang stood up immediately. She smiled at me and said, "Director Feng, you are busy. I will go to Ruan Jie's place."
I nodded to her, and then looked at the document the old director handed me. After taking a first look, I was surprised and said, "Huh? Minister Dou isn't coming?"
The old director nodded, "I also find it a bit strange. He should come to the national admissions meeting? Only two deputy directors come. Isn't this level too low? Of course, we are just the organizer, so we don't have to worry about it.
But the leaders of our province will meet with them when the time comes? When the leaders ask, you have to answer why, right?"
I immediately understood what he meant: The level of this meeting has nothing to do with us, but as I am the head of the provincial recruitment office after all, if the provincial leaders ask about this matter, what if I
If you can't answer, you will at least be considered confused by the leader.
I gratefully said to the old director: "Thank you for the reminder. I will call Director Sun from the National Admissions Office immediately to ask about the situation."
The old director nodded and then said to me: "Xiao Feng, you'd better have less contact with that woman just now."
Only then did I remember that he should also know about the last time Zeng Yufang accompanied Minister Dou. I smiled bitterly and said, "Old director, why am I contacting her? She obviously came to me on her own."
The old director smiled lightly, "I'm just reminding you. However, there seems to be no difference in the eyes of others between you taking the initiative and her taking the initiative, right?"
Of course I think what he said makes sense: when it comes to things between a man and a woman, what others see is just the relationship between the two people. As for who seduced whom, others don't care at all. I smiled bitterly.
Said: "Old director, she is here to tell me about the situation in her new unit. After all, she and I were colleagues. If people come to ask me about work matters, I can't possibly turn her away, right?"
The old director shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. Xiao Feng, if you really want to be with Xiao Chen, or if you really want to start a family with other women, you should start from now on
Cultivate your moral character and don't ruin your reputation. No girl wants her future husband to be of the same love."
My heart suddenly tightened, "Old director, what did you hear?"
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Recently, someone in the work unit said behind the scenes that your relationship with Shanglongxing is not normal, so he transferred her to such an important position through his own relationship. Xiao Feng, of course I don't believe it.
Yes. I still know Xiao Shang, but she is not that kind of woman." (To be continued)
