In fact, this is how colleges and universities are today. In the final analysis, the so-called academics are dominated by the government. Academic bureaucracy is no longer a strange thing today, let alone a secret. It is not difficult to understand, after all, society is a big
Dyeing vats, even in universities, cannot avoid being contaminated.
Then, I promised him that I would try my best to confirm the candidate for cooperation in the next two days, and then report to him. He said: "As soon as possible. It will take some time to prepare the submission materials. Once you confirm the person, just tell us the materials."
We'll have people do it right away. By the way, speaking of your scientific research project, this matter must be reported early."
I hurriedly said: "I'll sign up after I identify the person. Scientific research projects also need this person's cooperation."
After the call, I thought for a moment and then called Mayor Wu. He told me that he would get back to me in a while. I guess he was talking to Mayor Liu at this time, and he probably said something that was not serious.
It’s convenient for you to tell me.
Now, I am more concerned about my time at the Medical University. But I am still thinking about a question in my mind: Is it really important for me now to lead graduate students and engage in scientific research? Think about it, if I am in the future
If there were any problems in my career, would the leaders of the Medical University still treat me the way I do now? I think the answer to this question is very clear. Therefore, Secretary Leng’s words, “Being an official is only temporary, being a scholar is
"A lifetime thing" is actually a false proposition.
Without power, everything will be lost. This is the reality of our society.
But now I am unlikely to regret this matter, because after all, this is the face given to me by Secretary Leng and Secretary Wu. It is also a taboo in officialdom for others to give up face.
I immediately picked up the phone and called Guan Qin, "Professor Guan, right? This is Feng Xiao. I have asked the leaders at the school. This matter seems to be urgent. Let's find a place to meet in the evening.
, Let’s talk about some things. After all, we didn’t know each other before, so some issues should be discussed in person. What do you think?”
She smiled and said: "That's what I mean too. Then please confirm the time and place."
I said: "I'll call you before I get off work. I can't confirm my time yet."
She smiled and said: "You are so busy."
I also laughed, "Yes. That's why I need your help."
She smiled even brighter and said, "You are really good at talking."
I immediately felt the true character of this woman I had never seen before: In fact, she should be very generous. Then I thought: Sure, after all, she is someone who has lived abroad for two years. I feel that I can no longer be like her.
If we continued talking on the phone like this, it seemed that I was not stable enough. I immediately said to her: "That's it, I'll contact you later."
She immediately stopped laughing and said, "Okay."
Then I waited for her to hang up the phone. I know the teachers in colleges and universities quite well, especially the female teachers in colleges and universities. They care very much about the quality of men, or whether they are respected by others. In fact, most women are like this.
It’s a psychological need, but women with a higher education level care more about it. Because women with a lower education level tend to have low self-esteem, psychological needs like this seem a bit advanced to them.
This is also reality.
I waited until I got off work and didn't receive a call from Mayor Wu. I thought he might have to report to me later today. Then I notified the driver to drive me to the provincial capital.
As a result, not long after our car drove onto the highway, we received a call from Mayor Wu, "Mayor Feng, I have invited Mayor Liu. Let's have dinner together tonight."
I immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "Old Wu, why did you call me just now? I'm already on my way to the provincial capital. I have something urgent to do right away. It's something at the Medical University. Please call Mayor Liu.
Explain it. Okay?"
He pondered and said: "That's it. Mayor Feng, it's best if you call him in person. I think this is better."
Hearing what he said, I immediately understood that he was probably not with Mayor Liu at the moment, so I immediately asked him: "How was your communication with him? What's the situation?"
He whispered to me: "He was mainly dissatisfied with the organization's arrangements for him this time. He said that he had no problems, but he was placed in that position. But the person who really had the problems still remained
I got a seat in the main hall. And...hehe!"
I immediately understood, "The other thing is that he thinks I am profiting from it, right? Lao Wu, you know the situation at that time. Okay, let's not talk about it. I do have something urgent today. Let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, I
I feel that I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous.”
He immediately advised me: "Don't be angry. If you look at it from his point of view, it is understandable that he is upset now. Don't you think so?"
I said calmly: "If a person is not so dark in his heart, he will not end up like this. A person can't always blame the organization. He has to examine whether he has a clear conscience."
He seemed to be stunned there, because it took him a few seconds before he started to ask me, "Mayor Feng, it seems that you knew more about the situation than me before? What is going on? Can you tell me?
me?"
I still said calmly: "Let's talk about it later. If he really thinks that way, then I feel that this person is not worthy of respect. Let him do whatever he wants. I have something to do today."
He paused again, and then said, "Okay. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
I couldn't help but think about it in my heart. I remember there is a saying like this: losers always blame others and never think about what they have done that they shouldn't have done.
In fact, there is also a mentality issue here. Even in the same environment, when facing the same thing, the mentality of each of us is not necessarily the same. There is a story like this: a pair often
A couple who quarreled and the husband often beat his wife had three sons. When the three sons grew up, the eldest son thought in his heart: He must treat his wife well in the future and never treat his mother the way his father treated his mother. The second son thought in his heart: He will not treat his wife well in the future.
Forget about getting married, it's boring, it's too terrible; but the younger son thought like this: It turns out that a man can beat his wife like that...
This story can illustrate this problem very well.
After sighing for a while, I called Guan Qin and asked her to make a reservation at a restaurant near their hospital. I also told her that I would be there soon.
She smiled and said, "It's just the two of us, so we can sit in the lobby. There is a restaurant opposite the hospital, and it tastes good."
I said, "Okay. Sorry, I have too many things to do. I came out a little late and there might be a traffic jam. I can only ask you to wait for me for a while."
She smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just wait for you."
There was indeed a traffic jam after entering the city. As a result, it was already close to an hour later when we arrived at the restaurant. The driver was very knowledgeable. He went out to eat by himself and then waited for me in the car. Because I didn’t
I told him to go in with me. To be honest, the local drivers are very knowledgeable about the rules. Of course, this also benefits from the training and education provided by the general office.
I didn’t know the pipe organ, but when I entered the restaurant lobby, I quickly saw a woman wearing a light yellow short-sleeved T-shirt sitting at a small table by the window. She was holding a book.
Looking there. This woman looks a little thin. Judging from the sitting position, the height should be between 1.6 and 1.7 meters. A person's height is determined by the length of the legs, but the upper body can also determine part of it, so
I analyze it this way.
My first impression of her was that she was very intellectual, she looked pretty good, and her age was more in line with what the director of obstetrics and gynecology had introduced her to.
I didn't call Guanqin because I could completely judge her. She was the only woman sitting alone in the lobby of this restaurant, so there was no need to make any further judgments.
I went to her and found that what she was reading was one of the most popular women's novels at the moment. She had completely read it and didn't even feel that I was in front of her. I smiled and asked her: "You
Is it for Professor Guan?”
Then she suddenly raised her head and looked at me, her eyes full of surprise, "Are you Professor Feng?"
I smiled and nodded to her, "Yes." Then I sat down opposite her.
She was still full of surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so young. This is beyond my expectation."
I understood immediately: she never asked her director about my age. In fact, this is normal, because such questions have nothing to do with academics.
I immediately laughed and said, "You are also very young. Actually, I am not much older than you. So from now on, you should stop referring to me as 'you' and 'you'."
She couldn't help but laugh, "That's right. Although I was surprised, I was still very happy. I thought you were much older than me, but I was still thinking that I might be criticized by you more often in the future."
I laughed and said, "I can't criticize you when I'm young? What kind of logic is this?"
She smiled at me and said, "Because you are young, you won't be as old-fashioned as those old professors? What's more, I am very serious about my work, and you can't find a chance to criticize me."
I immediately laughed and said, "That's true."
She looked at me and couldn't help but smile, "I really can't tell that you are still a mayor. I don't think you have any official flavor at all."
I looked at her in astonishment, "Tell me, what is official flavor?"
She covered her mouth and smiled, "I think official style means having a serious face, being serious, and... hee hee! Sanctimonious."
I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, "Your other words are acceptable, but this one is sanctimonious...Haha! It seems to be the same thing?"
She couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect you to be quite funny. Professor Feng, actually, when I talked to you for the first time today, I thought you were very young, but I didn't dare to believe it. Because my brain
I'm always thinking about your two identities, the former director of the department, the director of the hospital, and now the mayor of a city. I really can't imagine you as such a young person."
I smiled and said, "Does my voice sound young?"
She nodded, "Yes. Your voice is not only very young, but also very magnetic."
I smiled and said, "Okay, please stop flattering me. Where does the magnetism in my voice come from? But Professor Guan, I think you are a little less confident."
She looked at me in surprise, "Why am I not confident?"
I smiled and said: "Since you can tell my approximate age from my voice, you should believe your feelings. Or you should confirm it after you have doubts. You are an academic person, and I have
Yes, and now I want to get my academic skills back. What kind of thinking is needed to engage in academics? I think you have to believe in yourself, and you need to verify your own judgment. Professor Guan, do you think so?"
She was stunned immediately, and then sighed and said: "No wonder you have achieved so much at such a young age. It turns out you are really different."
I shook my head and said: "There is nothing special about me, I just like to tell the truth. Professor Guan, today is our first meeting. I like to tell the truth and I also like to speak out. I was thinking, since
If we want to cooperate in the future, it is very important for us to be honest with each other. Don't you think so?"
She nodded, then smiled and said: "Professor Feng, you are the most straightforward person I have ever seen among officials and scholars in China. Professor Feng, have you studied abroad for a long time before?"
I shook my head and said, "No. I have only been abroad twice, and both times were for tourism, and the time was very short."
She looked at me in surprise again, "Then, why are you different from most people?"
I smiled and said, "Why is it different? It's the same! As I said just now, I hope we can be honest with each other."
She was looking at me, "Thank you! Professor Feng, the first impression you gave me was quite good. Now I am more willing to cooperate with you."
At this time, I immediately felt that she was a little different, because what she just said showed a kind of confidence that other women rarely have. In fact, she should know that it was mainly me who came to inspect her today, but she turned
The relationship between us was reversed. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was actually the case that our cooperation was mutual. I was choosing others, so why wasn't she looking at whether I was worth cooperating with?
I smiled and asked her: "Professor Guan, so you weren't completely sure that you wanted to cooperate with me at the beginning, is that right?"
She said: "Professor Feng, let me tell you the truth. First of all, I hope that I can become a master's supervisor earlier, but my current conditions are still lacking. So I am willing to cooperate with you, and I want to take shortcuts here.
The intention. Secondly, I was thinking in my heart, if you are a difficult person to get along with, then I would rather not take this shortcut. And... Haha! And I won't have the final say anymore."
I smiled and said, "I know what you are talking about. You must be thinking that this person is an official, and maybe he has no level at all. His cooperation with me is purely to exploit my future labor and academic wisdom."
Is that so?”
She couldn't help laughing, "You are so awesome that I'm even a little afraid of you. But what you said is not completely correct, because I looked up your previous scientific research projects and your papers, and I know that you have
Your academic level is still very good, but what I am worried about is that you will probably abandon your academic work after becoming an official. But now I am not worried about anything, because I believe that even if you do not have time to personally participate in scientific research in the future
For project research, even if you don’t have time to personally take care of graduate students in the future, it’s enough that you have your own academic ideas. Haha! Professor Feng, what you just said surprised me because I didn’t expect you to be so good. I am very good at playing the piano.
It’s rare to admire someone in such a short period of time, but the impression you made on me today was so profound that it scares me.”
I waved to her hastily and said, "You don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not scary. Professor Guan, let me ask you: Do you think I can cooperate with you now?"
But she was shaking her head, with a smile on her face, "No, you shouldn't ask me this question, but I should ask you anxiously: Professor Feng, do you think I can be your collaborator?"
This is a very interesting woman. I thought to myself. Then I reached out to her and said, "It seems that we can accept each other, so there won't be any problems in our cooperation."
She smiled and said: "Thank you Professor Feng, it is a great honor for me to play the piano."
She and I laughed at the same time. (To be continued)
