The best thing about this place is that it is located between the teaching area and the family area, and it is relatively independent and quiet. It would be very suitable to open a music bar in such a place.
So I felt very satisfied. So I asked the director: "If you want to rent this place, I'm talking about everything here. How much is the annual rent?"
The director went to look at Principal Wu.
Principal Wu smiled and said: "Charge whatever you want. The purpose of setting up a music bar is to enrich our students' second classroom. The rent should not be too high. If the rent is high, the cost will be high, and it will be difficult for students to consume. In this way, it will be difficult for students to spend money."
It won’t last long. Let’s just say it’s about two thousand yuan a year.”
I didn't expect that Principal Wu would offer such a discount. You know, if you open a small restaurant in such a place, the annual rent will be at least 50,000 yuan. I said hurriedly: "Principal Wu, this price is too low and others will gossip.
Yes. I think it should be executed according to the minimum market price. What do you think?"
Principal Wu laughed loudly, "Director Feng is so enlightened. How can you be like this? You go shopping, and someone says it costs one yuan a pound, but do you think I can sell it for two yuan? Haha!"
I also laughed, "Principal Wu, I am telling the truth. I am very grateful to you for helping me find this place. If the rent is too low, others will gossip about you."
Principal Wu said: "Who would gossip about me? I said, this is to enrich the students' second classroom. When the time comes, just ask your friend to hang up the sign of the Youth League Committee Activity Center of the school. I will say hello to the Youth League Committee.
that is."
I thought this was a good idea, as it not only gave me a way of saying it, but also made it easier for the music bar to survive in the future. So I kept thanking Principal Wu. Principal Wu then said to the director: "That's it, send someone to clean up this place as soon as possible."
Clean it up, remove all the weeds around here, and plant some trees. I didn’t know there was such a blind spot on campus. What do you think this mess looks like?"
The director promised repeatedly.
I couldn't help but thank him in my heart. I know that he did this to make the environment here better. But it is not convenient for me to express my gratitude here.
Then Principal Wu asked the director to leave. Then I started to keep thanking him. He waved his hand to me and said, "You're welcome, what's our relationship? It's such a small thing, it's very simple."
I immediately laughed and said, "Principal Wu, let me give you a suggestion."
He looked at me with a smile, "Oh? Tell me quickly."
I smiled and said: "Principal Wu, you are usually too serious with your subordinates. Look at the director just now, he was so frightened by you that he almost couldn't speak clearly."
After hearing this, he was startled and then laughed.
"Which country are you going to? Are you leaving tomorrow?" He then asked me.
I nodded, "Go to Europe. The current inspection is mainly about tourism. Don't you think so?"
He laughed again, "Well, let me treat you tonight. I invited the district chief where our school is located to dinner today to discuss our purchase of several pieces of land outside the school."
I hurriedly said: "Forget it. I said I'm here to invite you. Let's do it like this. I'll talk about it after I get back. By the way, since you are going to move to the university town in the future, why do you want to buy land nearby?
"
He said: "As you can see, with the development of the city, our piece of land is becoming more and more valuable. I do not plan to give up here in the future. This place in the school can be used for future intern accommodation, because
Our teaching hospitals are all located in the urban area, so that it is convenient for students to practice in the future. In addition, our master's and doctoral teaching points should also be placed here. Our campus is still too small, so I hope that in my area
We can try to expand the campus as much as possible. Anyway, the current land price is not particularly high."
I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Principal Wu, you are really thinking long-term. This is a century-old plan."
He smiled and said: "Thank you brother for your praise. I like to do practical things. My purpose of seizing power is different from that of some people. Some people do it to satisfy their own selfish desires. I do it to do as much as possible for the future of the school."
Things. Haha! Of course, I also want my personal values and ideals to be reflected."
I said sincerely: "Principal Wu, you are at a level that many of us should learn from."
He laughed, and then said to me in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang recently sent a report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and asked to step down."
I was very surprised, "Why? Isn't his age not yet reached?"
He said: "He doesn't have much fun being the party secretary now. If I were him, I would ask my superiors like this. He is a professional. If he retires now, he can not only enjoy the current treatment, but also return to his job.
If he continues to work in the previous department or visit outpatient clinics, wouldn't this life be better than what he has now?"
I couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that he has indeed figured it out. I'll go see him later. Anyway, he and I have been friends for many years, so I should go see him now."
He nodded, "That's true. By the way, I have already considered Wang Xin's matter and will go to the Standing Committee to study it recently."
I thanked him again, but suddenly I found that he was looking at me hesitant to speak, and suddenly I understood: I mean, he was so enthusiastic about such a small thing like me today, and he even accompanied me personally.
I came to a place like this. Thinking of this, I said, "If Secretary Zhang retires, won't the secretary's seat become vacant? You are now the principal and deputy secretary of the party committee. From now on, the secretary's seat will naturally be yours."
He immediately came and patted me on the shoulder, "Brother, you are really my soulmate. I need you to put in a good word for me in front of Minister Lin about this matter."
I said: "Governor He also needs you to do some work. After all, she is the leader in charge."
He shook his head and said: "Governor He is a relatively low-key person. As long as she is determined by the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee, she will not object under normal circumstances."
I said, "Really? That's good. Okay, I'll tell my sister before I go out. Anyway, this matter of yours is just natural, it's not a big deal."
He looked very happy and said, "Brother, you might as well go drinking with me tonight. The district mayor is also a generous person, and you will definitely hit it off right away."
I hurriedly said: "Forget it for today. I have to leave tomorrow, and I have to go home to prepare today. By the way, Principal Wu, I will ask my friend to come directly to you then. She is the girl who is going to rent this place."
He said boldly: "No problem."
Then I actually went to Secretary Zhang’s office.
When I walked in, he was a little surprised, "Xiao Feng, you are a rare visitor? Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place today?"
I said: "I came here to do some errands today and stopped by to see you."
Only then did I realize that his temples had turned gray and he looked very old. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: How strong was this man once? But now he has become like this. It can be seen from this that
Good flowers don't always bloom, good times don't always last. Everyone will go through such a process. Even the strongest leader will have to retreat one day. At that time, it will be regarded as withdrawing from the stage of history, and it will not be many years later.
Will be forgotten by people. So I couldn't help but ask him: You were so strong at that time, why did you bother?
Of course, I can only keep this thought in my heart.
He asked me to sit down and said, "Xiao Feng, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to come see me. Have you heard about me?"
I nodded, "I just heard it just now."
He smiled and said: "Do you sympathize with me? Do you think I have been so strong all my life but now I left in despair?"
I shook my head and said, "Aren't you despondent? It's because you don't want to do it, right?"
But he sighed: "Almost. Hey! Now I have figured it out. This is how people live their lives. After one generation has finished its work, it has to give up its place to the next generation. This is a law of nature, and everyone must obey this.
law."
I didn’t expect him to be able to think this way, “Secretary Zhang, will you go back to work in the hospital in the future?”
He smiled and said, "Yeah. It's good to go to the ward for check-ups and outpatient clinics occasionally. If you like it, you can go abroad to read poetry. How nice is that?"
I was stunned for a moment, "Shiyu, is she, is she okay?"
He glanced at me and said, "He has now found the son of a local overseas Chinese and is preparing to get married. Xiao Feng, it was my fault before. Things like marriage cannot be forced. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand it at that time. Feng Xiao
, please understand a father's feelings for his daughter. Hey, now I have understood it, but I no longer have the lofty ideals I once had. People, this life is actually very simple. When I was young, I had to
To look far, you have to have grand goals in life, not to care about the small gains in front of you, and not to be burdened by the small things in front of you; when you are middle-aged, you have to see through. The phenomena are complicated, and you must learn to see the essence through the phenomena.
, this is an ability and a unique vision. Now I have to take it lightly. Put fame and wealth aside, look down on the complexity of the world, be calm and calm, and do nothing. Human life is actually that simple.
I just came to this world and did what I should do. Now that my work is done, I should leave my post and enjoy my old age."
To be honest, I was very touched by his words, because I completely believed they came from his heart. I said, "Secretary Zhang, let's find a place to sit down tonight and call Wang Xin."
But he shook his head and said: "No need. Now I feel that it is most comfortable to go home and eat the food cooked by my wife every day. Wang Xin... He is still very young. From now on, he can walk his own path. You
Same thing."
He has really changed and become so calm.
In fact, I still admire him very much. In any case, he has finally safely concluded his career and can enjoy his old age safely from now on. This is not something everyone can do. He used to
He moved forward forcefully, but now he was able to retreat decisively. This is not something everyone can do.
He is right, life is actually very simple, that is, it is just a trip to this world. Although everyone takes a different path, some people may be very successful, some people may be very unsuccessful and painful, and most of them
Some people live a mediocre life, but in fact everyone has their own wonderful things.
Life is really like this.
After I left school, I called Chenchen, but as soon as I pressed the transmit button, I immediately changed my mind: I started sending her text messages. Because I didn’t want her to think that I was asking for credit and showing my love to her, and I did.
It doesn't mean that. So, I hope the words can make this matter a little more plain.
Chenchen, I have already arranged your matter for you. The place on the campus of the Medical University is not bad, I have visited it. The rent is two thousand yuan a year. You have a direct connection with President Wu of the Medical University, and I have given it to him.
It’s settled. I hope I can see your new music bar open when I return to China. I wish everything goes well.
Now, I feel like I can finally go abroad with complete confidence.
However, after sending the text message for a long time, there was no reply from her. I thought to myself: Maybe she is not satisfied with that? Or maybe she doesn’t want me to help her?
Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, I've done everything I have to do.
When I got home, I found that my father had not come back yet. I asked my mother to call my father. I said that I had something to discuss with him. But just when my mother was about to call, I found that Chenchen had texted me back: Take me there.
Let’s take a look, okay?
I quickly stopped my mother, "I have to go out right away. Let's talk about it when I come back."
At this moment, I suddenly felt as excited and impulsive as a young man. Then I went out and drove towards Chenchen's residence.
When I drove away, I saw my mother smiling in the rearview mirror of the off-road vehicle looking at the direction I was leaving at the door of my house.
Chenchen called me again while I was driving, and she told me that she was waiting for me at the entrance of the Conservatory of Music. Sure enough, I saw her when I got there. She didn't get in the car after honking the horn.
Meaning, she was gesturing for me to get off.
I went down and asked, "What are you doing?"
She asked me: "You haven't eaten yet?"
I shook my head and then asked her, "What about you?"
She said: "I haven't either. Then let's eat something casually in front of the school."
I suggested to her: "Let's go find a place to eat outside the Medical University. If you like that place, you will know where to eat in the future."
She nodded, "That's fine."
Then I drove her to the Medical University, and she said she wanted to see the place first before thinking about eating. I understand her mood, and I also hope that this matter can be finalized as soon as possible. If she feels that it is not possible here
If so, I can find a place for her immediately. (To be continued)
