When Director Liang came to me with the rejection slip from Jiangnan Academy of Fine Arts, and when I saw that candidate’s name on the list, my expression suddenly changed.
I asked Director Liang in a deep voice: "Didn't you tell the other party what you meant?"
He nodded and said, "I've said it all, but the director of admissions at Jiangnan Academy of Fine Arts said there was nothing he could do. If he admitted this candidate, he would be dismissed immediately after he returns."
I immediately laughed angrily and kept shaking the cancellation slip in my hand, "They can really do it! Director Liang, now there are still two days before the end of the early batch admission..."
It's good for them that they have finished the admissions so quickly. It's very simple and fast. In this way, you can put their admission results aside for the time being and don't rush to sign them until the last day. Tonight, please help me get their admission results.
Let the principal in charge and the director of admissions have a meal, and I will go and talk to them in person."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Director Feng, it's useless. The vice-principal's words don't count on such matters."
I was very dissatisfied and said: "We'll talk about it after you invite me. It's in the private room No. 1, and the dishes are of a higher standard. By the way, you can also invite Director Ruan. After all, she used to work for the Provincial Education Commission."
Office Director, please ask her to come here earlier and tell her that I have something to ask her. Hey! Actually, I don’t want to make the matter a big deal, so I’ll try to find a way to resolve the matter privately. I can’t help it, it’s just what the leader ordered me to do.
...That’s it, you’ll let me know when you’ve made arrangements.”
He smiled wryly and shook his head, then left.
In fact, I knew in my heart that Director Liang's shaking of his head was different from what I meant. I was helpless, but he had no confidence.
The main reason I asked him to notify Ruan Jie was to find out more about the situation at the Academy of Fine Arts. I really didn’t want to make the matter too big. The incident in the high-rise property market last time still makes me feel scared. Moreover, Lin Yu has also been going out of his way to do it recently.
I was told not to let anything happen to me.
In the afternoon, Ruan Jie came to my office inside the admissions hall. I noticed that she seemed to have lost some weight, "Director Feng, are you looking for me?"
I looked at her and asked, "Are you busy lately? Why have you lost weight?"
She smiled and said: "Isn't it because of that project? You personally signed the contract with both parties, and then you have to go through all the procedures one by one. The old director is old, and I am embarrassed to let him go.
So I had to go by myself. But it just so happened that I was still trying to lose weight."
I once heard a saying: Losing weight is an eternal topic and pursuit of all women. In fact, Ruan Jie's body shape has always been just right, at least I think so, but he still feels that he needs to lose weight. I can't help but feel in my heart
I laughed secretly. But I didn’t want to discuss this issue with her anymore, so I immediately asked her: "Are you familiar with the Academy of Fine Arts? I have a candidate this year who just got on their line, but Director Liang came out to find them.
, but they didn’t show any respect and returned this candidate’s file!”
She immediately laughed, "That's how it is at the Academy of Fine Arts. Their Dean Chen is just like a green bean - not soaked in oil and salt. There's no way."
I looked at her, and I still felt that she looked better when she was a little fatter. "Is there really no way to do it?"
She shook her head, "This person is like that. There is no way. In the past, the Education Committee held a meeting of university principals across the province, and every time he would go against the leaders of the Provincial Education Committee in person at the meeting, and he would not give others face at all."
I was suddenly surprised, "Isn't he from this earth?"
She immediately laughed, "He is a well-known painter in the country, and a painting can be auctioned for hundreds of millions of yuan. And it is said that he did not want to be the dean in the first place, so he doesn't care about anything."
After hearing what she said, I didn’t quite believe it. “His paintings are so valuable, which shows that he feels confident and reliable. It’s not that he doesn’t want to give face to others, but that he doesn’t bother to give it to others because he regards himself as important.”
Too high. Haha, I thought he could really do it without desire. Forget it, I’ll talk about it after I invited their vice dean and director of admissions to have a meal in the evening. You also stay for a meal, you have been working hard recently
Now, I will toast you a glass of wine alone in a while."
She blushed a little, then smiled sweetly at me, "As long as you say this, it will be enough."
Her smile suddenly bloomed like a flower, so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble. I hurriedly restrained myself, "By the way, Ruan Jie, there is one more thing. The restaurant is being renovated, and I don't have time to see that place recently."
, you can ask your sister to go take a look when she has time, and get familiar with the situation first. In fact, she doesn’t need to do anything, because I contracted both the design and decoration to that company."
She looked very happy, "Well, let's go and have a look after dinner today, okay?"
I thought about it and then nodded.
Director Liang arranged the dinner exactly according to my instructions. The table mainly consisted of high-end seafood, paired with high-end red wine. Nowadays, it is not difficult for us in Jiangnan to eat seafood. Air transportation has made various businesses more convenient and developed.
, all kinds of seafood just caught from the sea along the coast can reach our dining tables in Jiangnan in just a few hours. Of course, there are also merchants who have purchased the seafood long ago and then feed it themselves, but the prices are different.
The vice-president in charge of admissions at the Academy of Fine Arts is about forty years old. He looks gentle and has smooth combed hair. His white short-sleeved shirt makes his skin look whiter. Apart from his thin figure, he has almost no trace of an artist.
Their temperament. Their admissions director is a young man, not tall and looks very lively.
After shaking hands with these two, I invited them to sit down, and I took the main seat myself. Director Liang and Ruan Jie looked very familiar with the vice-principal, and they started chatting and laughing as soon as they met.
I didn’t say anything at first, because I hoped that it would be best for the vice-principal to talk about it himself. And I believe that Director Liang has told him the purpose and intention of my treat today, otherwise Director Liang would not be a good person.
A qualified deputy.
I started to hold the cup and said: "I have always wanted to get to know the leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts, but such opportunities are too rare. Today is a good opportunity. Comrade the principal has given me this face. I am very grateful."
The vice-principal smiled and said: "Director Feng is so polite. This year's admissions work is better arranged than before, including office conditions, food, accommodation, transportation, etc. are better than in previous years. I have long heard that Director Feng is young and promising.
I’ve seen it this time.”
I laughed "hehe" and said, "You're welcome. Come, let's have a toast."
It can be seen that this vice-principal should belong to the society, because he is not only good at talking, but also good at communicating with others. His words and deeds all reveal the flavor of an old man.
Sure enough, when we drank the first glass of wine, he talked about that matter, "Director Feng, we are very sorry. It's not that we can't handle your matter, but that we can't handle it. Our Principal Chen is like that
His temper and style, no one dares to change the things he prescribed, including me, the vice-principal. Therefore, I have to ask for your understanding on this matter. But personally, I am very willing to make Director Feng a friend.
, I wonder if Director Feng will give me this face?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: This vice-dean is really a cunning person. It's a good thing this time. He pushed all my affairs away with just one sentence, and now he wants me to give him face. He is completely cautious.
After all, I wouldn't say anything in front of these people, and he has observed my basic character.
Of course I wouldn't give him face. I said with a "hehe" smile: "We have been friends since we met. There is no question of giving face or not, right?"
He laughed and then raised his glass to me, "Director Feng is such a refreshing person!"
I didn't come here to make friends with him today, so I drank the wine and said: "My leader ordered me to handle this matter this time, and I can't help it. You guys quit for various reasons."
I understand. After all, the situation of each university is different. Comrade president, and this comrade director of admissions, do you think this is okay? I will add a plan target for you separately. Please help as a special case.
Can I get rid of this person? That way it won’t take up your original quota, and it will be easier for you to talk to Principal Chen.”
This is a compromise that I came up with after careful consideration. For me, the provincial admissions director, it is a simple matter to come up with a plan for a certain college. Considering that there are many students every year,
There are so many leaders and acquaintances, so our provincial admissions office always keeps a small number of indicator plans on hand to deal with special situations. However, such indicators can only be obtained with my signature.
The vice principal immediately went to ask his admissions director, "What do you think?"
The admissions director shook his head and said: "Maybe it's still not possible. Principal Chen has stipulated a principle for us, admission from high to low. Even if Director Feng now adds an additional indicator to us, we can only choose the person with the highest score who failed the list.
Candidates, this is the principle set by Principal Chen, we dare not violate it. Director Feng, you see..."
I immediately became angry, "This indicator does not count for your own quota, so I can't use it alone to deal with a candidate who has passed the exam? You should be divergent in art, and you should have sufficient imagination.
Right? Why have you become so mechanical?"
The vice-principal also said: "Has there ever been a situation like this before? Is it a matter where the provincial admissions office made additional plans specifically for a certain candidate?"
The admissions director said: "There was a situation like this. Last year, Governor He also came up with a separate plan, but in the end he still failed to solve her problem."
The vice-principal smiled bitterly and said to me: "Director Feng, this... I'm sorry." (To be continued)
