So that was it. I was extremely grateful to him and said, "Director Song, thank you."
He shook his head and said: "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank your classmate more."
I was stunned again, "My classmate? Which of my classmates?"
He said: "When I received your call that day, Principal Wu and I were drinking tea and talking with your classmate, Secretary Kang of Governor Huang. He knew when I answered the phone at that time
It was you who called, and he immediately said to Principal Wu: Please help him more. So I immediately replied to you."
I was shocked immediately.
You know, that was before Kang Demao went to work in my hometown. At that time, it was a matter of course and right for him to help me, but later under my influence he was transferred to the Provincial Archives Bureau. In the process, he helped me.
He endured it silently and never used my incident to fight back against me. What does this mean? It means that he is not as bad as I thought. On the contrary, the worst person should be me.
I think at the beginning, he could have brought this matter up to counter me, so that I could say more good things for him. But he didn't. And until now, he has never mentioned this matter in front of me.
He never used this incident to ask me to do anything for him.
"Really?" I couldn't believe it.
He nodded, "Since you asked me about this matter today, why should I lie to you? Besides, now that your classmate has been promoted and demoted, there is no need for me to deliberately say good things for him. But Xiao Feng, I do
I want to trouble you with something."
I hurriedly said: "Just tell me."
He smiled and said: "Actually, the purpose of telling you these things today is to be honest with you. I had already thought about it when you came to ask me about that matter today. Since you already know that matter, then I will
I should tell you the truth, and I will keep it a secret for you. The last time our school personnel adjusted, I was actually listed as a candidate for inspection, but I don’t know why I was not passed. This time, Secretary Zhang is about to
Now that I have retired, I think I still have a chance. Recently, I was telling Principal Wu that I would like to ask you out for a meal. Today happens to be the right time. Director Feng, you can go back after eating here today.
?I will contact Principal Wu immediately."
I immediately felt that his words had a threatening meaning, but he did not show it completely. Moreover, he also kept changing the names he addressed me. I would not have thought that the department heads in universities today would treat those in the officialdom
The tricks are all applied so skillfully.
But I thought that no matter what happened to me, I still had to thank him, and I would eventually have to listen to Principal Wu’s opinion about his matter. So I immediately agreed with a smile.
At this time, he immediately said, "Director Feng, please don't get me wrong. We are friends, so I told you my own affairs directly, just like you came to ask me directly about that matter today. But Director Feng
, I don’t want to embarrass others too much about some things, so I’d be very grateful if you could help me explain it when it’s convenient. Haha! You sit down for a while, and I’ll call Principal Wu right away.”
I smiled at him, "I know."
Of course I know that what he said is definitely not true. If he doesn’t want me to try my best to help him, will he tell me? Who wouldn’t say this if he wants someone to do something and wants the other person to sound comfortable? In my heart
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Yes, today I sent it to his door.
He started to call Principal Wu, "Principal Wu, haha! Let me tell you, Director Feng is in my office now. He has nothing to do, so he just stopped by my place to sit down. He was talking about coming to your place, but
I think it’s already dinner time, so let’s go directly to the restaurant. Haha! Of course I’ll arrange it. Anyway, it won’t be there for you to sign by then, so it’s like you’re treating me. Okay. Let’s go first.
Go. Okay, that’s it.”
After the phone call, he smiled and said to me: "Director Feng, let's go. Principal Wu will be here in a moment. He is discussing something with Principal Li now and will be here soon."
The President Li he was talking about was the vice president of the Medical University, and I knew him. I nodded, "Where are we going?"
He said: "It's in the restaurant next to the school. It's convenient there. Principal Wu will have a meeting in the afternoon."
I smiled and said, "Okay."
As a result, we sat in the restaurant for less than ten minutes before Principal Wu came. As soon as he saw me, he blamed me, "Why don't you come to my office? I have a problem with you."
I said with a "haha" smile: "You are the principal, and you are responsible for everything every day. How dare I disturb you casually?"
He laughed and said, "Xiao Feng, aren't you laughing at me? The word "managing everything in one day" is meant for national leaders."
I looked at him and smiled, "Principal Wu, you are very reactionary."
He laughed again and said immediately: "Stop it, stop it! I don't mean that!"
The word "managing everything" already had its own meaning, so I just used it as a joke with him. Then the three of us sat down.
Director Song had already ordered the dishes. At this time, he asked the Wu Principal: "Should we have some drinks at noon?"
I hurriedly said: "Principal Wu will have a meeting in the afternoon, and I also have something to do, so why don't we drink at noon?"
Principal Wu said: "Let's drink some beer. If we don't drink together, what would we do?"
I thought so, and then said: "Then let's limit each person to two bottles. One bottle is too little, and two bottles are just right."
After we started eating, Principal Wu asked me: "Xiao Feng, I heard that the main leading cadres at and above the municipal level in the province will undergo major adjustments next year. Will you make any changes?"
I didn't expect his information to be so good, but I immediately felt that there was nothing strange about it. After all, it was such a big matter, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee was currently conducting interviews with some cadres to find out. It was normal for people of the level of Principal Wu to know about this matter.
.I said: "How do I know? But I think it is unlikely, after all, I have just arrived in the province to recruit students."
He nodded and said: "That's true. But this opportunity is great. Haha! In fact, the provincial recruitment office is also very good. The nature of the work is simple and the real power is relatively large. You will definitely have other opportunities in a few years."
I immediately discovered the gap between him and Lin Yi. Lin Yi could immediately see the essence of the problem. Some people say that if one thing is put out there, many people will do it well. This is not true ability.
, and people with real prospects for development can analyze the development direction and possible results of things through some clues, and then use this to control or change.
Director Song didn't speak there. I thought he must be waiting for me to speak. After thinking about it, I asked Principal Wu: "Does this province-wide personnel adjustment involve your university?"
He nodded, "Maybe. Now the province no longer pays as much attention to colleges and universities as before. Instead, it has become a nursing home for some leaders. Before the leaders retired, they were placed in the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. It's better now.
Put it in our university."
I was very surprised, "No way?"
He sighed and said: "Our school is better, after all, it is too professional. It is said that a Municipal Party Committee Secretary who is about to retire will be transferred to Jiangnan Normal University as Party Committee Secretary. Several other universities will also be placed there.
Nowadays, the bureaucracy in colleges and universities is serious enough. If we put some officials in, how can we still have the atmosphere of a college? Our school is said to be assigning a deputy secretary soon, who is transferred from the army. What is his rank, and what is his level?
People with connections, and they won’t go unless they are in colleges and universities. Isn’t that right? In the end, we had to arrange it with us.”
I couldn't help but look at Director Song and said, "Isn't Director Song's job very difficult? There are only so many positions in colleges and universities."
He sighed: "Yes. Director Song, I found that you are not very lucky. This year you were the most likely, but the provincial policy changed. Now it is better, but it is more difficult. At present, our school has withdrawn
There is only one person going down, and someone who has changed jobs will come soon and take up the quota immediately."
Director Song's face suddenly turned ugly.
I didn’t want to drink in such an atmosphere, and I had a ghost in my heart. I asked Principal Wu, “So Principal Wu, do you think there are other ways?”
He shook his head and said: "I have been thinking about this matter recently. Director Song, you are not very old anyway. I think this way, you will serve as the assistant to the principal for a period of time and concurrently serve as the director of your forensic department. In this case, next time
It's natural to go up there. What do you think?"
Director Song's face looked better, "But this job has to be for one term. After a few years, I will be older."
Principal Wu smiled and said: "How could it be? Principal Li, Principal Wu will be there in two years, isn't it? Then you can go up and let nature take its course. The problem now is that you have to stop the trap first, don't you?"
We have to wait until there is a change of leadership to find a solution. There are too many variables in things today, and maybe something else will happen in the future."
I nodded and said, "Director Song, I think what Principal Wu said makes sense. You might as well consider it."
He smiled bitterly and said: "Now it seems that this is all we can do."
Principal Wu said to me: "Xiao Feng, but you have to say a few words to Director Song about this matter. The assistant to the principal is also a provincial cadre and must be approved by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Our school will report the opinions.
Going up."
Director Song immediately came to toast my drink, "Director Feng, I'm sorry to trouble you about this matter."
I smiled and said, "I'm responsible for explaining this matter for you, but I can't guarantee the outcome."
Principal Wu smiled and said: "As long as you tell us, the problem shouldn't be big. After all, our assistant principal does not need to go through the provincial committee's standing committee for key research, which is a matter that will be dealt with when the time comes. Minister Lin is your sister, and she will handle this matter
One sentence will do."
I nodded.
In fact, many things are like this. When you really can't meet your own requirements, it is a good choice to settle for second best. It is better than always staring at an impossible goal and sulking. This is also a kind of flexibility.
.
From this, it seems that Director Song is quite a sensible person.
We didn't have long to eat at noon. After eating, I went to the campus to drive. Principal Wu said to me: "Xiao Feng, come and sit in my office."
I guessed that he might want to talk to me about something, so I nodded in agreement. Director Song was also a smart man, and he immediately said goodbye to us and left.
After arriving at Principal Wu's office, he immediately asked me: "Why did you suddenly think of going to see Director Song today?"
I know that he has suspected this for a long time, because I really have no reason to go to him directly. Even if I have something to do, I should go to him as the principal first. After all, we are very good friends.
I smiled bitterly and said: "Principal Wu, I just wanted to ask you. Didn't I ask Director Song for help last time? I told a friend of mine to do a paternity test, but he immediately thought that it was my own business.
.Now I realize that what he told me at the time is not the case. So I came here to ask him today. In fact, this matter does not matter to me, after all, I was single at the time. But I still paid attention to it, after all.
If this kind of thing spreads, it will have a bad impact."
I found that I was a little confused when talking about this matter, but I really didn’t know how to tell him about it. After all, it was not an aboveboard matter. But I believed that he could understand what I wanted.
to express meaning.
He looked at me and said, "Hey, it's been so long, why are you talking about it? Now you are a deputy department cadre, and you are in an important position, why don't you know the taboos?
"
I shook my head and said: "Now I know that the child is indeed my flesh and blood. The child suffered from cerebral ischemia when he was born, and now he may have the sequelae of cerebral palsy. Since it is my own child, what should I do for the child?
.But I thought the situation was too strange, so I couldn’t help but come over and ask him. Then again, this kind of thing has already happened, and I don’t know if the paternity test at that time required another result.
I don’t know, if someone really wants to cause trouble, I will still get into trouble.”
He nodded and said, "That's true. Director Song is actually a very nice person, but he's just a bit unlucky. Try your best to help him this time. That way it may be safer for you."
I nodded, "I will try my best to help him. By the way, Principal Wu, my classmate was present when he answered my phone call, right?"
He nodded, "This was actually your classmate's idea. I also said at the time that only classmates would sincerely think about each other." (To be continued)
