I immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But I still stood up and opened the door, and sure enough it was Chenchen who appeared at the door.
She was also stunned for a moment, but still gave me a faint smile and said, "Hello."
I immediately felt flattered and said, "Hello. Please come in."
No one knew that the way she looked at me just now once again made my heart tremble. Her eyes looked so much like Zhao Menglei.
I returned to the table. Director Man seemed to understand why the old director asked me to open the door just now. He looked at me and smiled. But at this moment, I didn’t have such thoughts at all, because I know me best.
For myself, I feel more inferior in front of such a girl.
At the beginning, when I first met her, I didn’t have much inferiority complex in my heart, because at that time, my life was not as corrupt as it is now. Although I had already been married twice at that time, in my heart I was just
Think of it all as God's will.
After Chenchen washed her hands, she sat down with the old director's wife, and then we started eating and drinking.
The only ones drinking were the old director, Man Jiangnan and I. I didn’t want the old director to bring the topic to me and Chenchen, because I didn’t want to embarrass myself. So I said at the beginning, “Old director, I
I recently met Jiang Nan at the Education Committee and he said that his job is difficult, so he wanted to have a chat with you and me. Let’s listen to what he has to say more today.”
Man Jiangnan said: "Actually, it's nothing. Director Feng, after what you told me that day, I think your words are very reasonable."
The old director smiled and asked him: "What did Director Feng say to you that day?"
I said, "Actually, I just said one thing to him. I said, although the job he has there now is difficult and the unit is very complicated, it is an excellent training opportunity for him."
The old director said: "Yes. Xiao Feng is right. Many times we should look at problems from another perspective, especially when a person is in adversity. Many people always think about fate in such situations.
How unfair you are, how unlucky you are, etc., but if you think about it from another angle, it will be completely different. Xiao Feng, you are really good at ideological work, and I am not as good as you in this regard."
I very much doubt that the old director deliberately said such nice things about me in front of Chenchen, but I also think that I have an advantage in this regard. First, I have studied psychology and know how to persuade someone. Second, I have studied psychology.
I am used to thinking about problems from different angles. In fact, many of us make things difficult for ourselves because of the wrong direction or way of thinking, so that we live in unnecessary trouble and pain. I smile.
Said: "Old director, please don't praise me. But I have always felt that Jiangnan's things are not as bad as he thought. First, he was promoted this time. From deputy to chief. What's more, there are
Old director, you and I have done the work together, and of course we did it for you. Now that you are not satisfied, the old director and I will feel sorry for you. So, you must be satisfied, right?"
The old director immediately laughed, and Man Jiangnan was also laughing. The old director said: "There is still such a saying. But it seems to be the case?"
I continued: "Second, Jiangnan, you should be satisfied. It's just that you haven't figured it out yourself. So I have to point it out to you. Now, you finally figured it out, and the old director and I can't
Feeling guilty."
The old director couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Man Jiangnan also laughed, "Director Feng, it's my fault."
I found that the old lady and Chenchen were also laughing, so I was greatly encouraged. I continued: "Third, Director Man, I still say the same thing. After you get to your current position, you must pay attention to one thing, that is
You must not do things that you shouldn't do. I want to give you a principle, that is, you would rather not be a superior than let yourself make mistakes just to give in to someone. If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
Even if you are the one in jail, no one will save you and no one will sympathize with you."
Man Jiangnan nodded and said: "Yes. Director Feng, I have always remembered your words. You also said that if I really encounter such a thing and come to you, you will help me.
right?"
Only then did I realize that this honest man didn't seem to be that honest. He would remember it and remind me at this time. I smiled and asked him, "Jiangnan, don't you want me to help you now?"
?That's not possible. How long have you been there? It's like going to a battlefield. You just entered and want to withdraw. That's not possible."
The old director laughed again, "Xiao Man, please don't do anything in front of Director Feng. He won't be fooled by you. My opinion is the same as Xiao Feng's. Only when you really can't stay there any longer."
When the time comes, let him help you. Look, you and Director Feng are actually about the same age, but the gap between you is here. You, it seems you need to exercise more."
Man Jiangnan suddenly felt embarrassed, "Yes. I have always known the gap between myself."
I looked at his embarrassed look and said, "Old director, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else. Do you think, where is the most suitable place to build our admission center? Besides the high-rise property market."
The old director looked at me, "What? You no longer consider the high-rise property market?"
I nodded, "You also saw that place last time, and the city planning was a mess. The area they pointed out to us, even if they are willing to give us the land for free, but if you look at the surrounding environment, it will be in the future
If all the surrounding residents are demolished, it will definitely become development land for developers. The local government will definitely use this to recover their investment in our project. Think about it, we built the admission center in such a place
Is this a suitable place?"
The old director nodded.
At this time, Man Jiangnan said: "Director Feng, I think there is a very good place."
I looked at him, "Oh? Tell me."
He immediately said: "Isn't there an isolated island in the middle of the river not far from our provincial capital? That place has always been empty. Wouldn't it be perfect if we turned it into an admissions center?"
I shook my head and said: "That place is not good. After the floods broke out in the summer, it was impossible to enter there. That place is good, but think about it, it has been vacant for so many years. If it could have been used by others, it would have been
used."
The old director said: "I think Xiaoman's suggestion is good. The island is only about 20 meters away from the shore. It doesn't cost much to build a bridge. It can definitely be passed for less than 10 million.
It has to come down. Other units and developers did not consider it mainly because of two aspects. First, the area of the place is too small, probably less than ten acres. Second, building the bridge will increase the cost. In fact, we are different.
The area of mu is completely enough, because there is a unique natural scenery there, and there is no need to use a large area of land to improve the quality of the future admission center. In addition, if we really need that place, the province will definitely compensate us with a fund.
We built the bridge because it was part of the municipal project. Also, since no one has developed the desert island for so many years, it will just be left there. Maybe we can actually get it for free.
."
Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but feel a little tempted. So I asked Man Jiangnan, "Who is managing that island now?"
He said: "It should be a high-tech development zone, because it is surrounded by high-tech industrial parks in our province."
I immediately said to the old director: "Old director, please include this matter in our site selection this time. During my absence, I will trouble you to find out more about the situation."
Of course the old director would not object. In fact, he is also very enthusiastic about our admission center. First, because he saved the money, and second, building this admission center has been his wish for many years.
Then we talked about some other things at work, but I was very happy because I finally avoided asking the old director to talk about other things.
However, after we finished our meal, the old director said to Chenchen and me: "The air outside is good today. You two should go for a walk."
This old man didn't give me any mental preparation at all, which made me feel caught off guard. I was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while. (To be continued)
