"Why are you being so polite to me?" He said dissatisfiedly, "That's it. I'll call President Chang and let you know the situation."
"Don't be busy. When will you and Ding Xiang get married?" I asked. I thought: Ning Xiangru's matter has been settled, so his marriage to Ding Xiang should just take its course.
"You didn't ask me about this, and I forgot to tell you. Feng Xiao, I don't know what happened recently, but Dingxiang suddenly became lukewarm towards me. I'm busy and don't have much time to communicate with her.
"A lot of things can't be explained clearly on the phone. So I thought, if you are free, would you help me ask her?" he said.
"What happened?" I asked in surprise, suddenly remembering something, "Did Ning Xiangru say something to her that night? The two of them were muttering next to each other for so long that day, you know?"
"Logically speaking, Ning Xiangru would not do something like that. I don't understand what went wrong. Can you ask her for me?" he said.
Of course I just agreed.
Then I went home directly, took a shower, turned off my phone and went to bed. I was so tired today that I barely had a moment to rest after coming back from Beijing.
When I woke up the next day, I opened my phone and found a text message from Kangdemao: What's going on? Why is the phone turned off? Call me back immediately.
I hurriedly called him, but he kept complaining on the phone, "Feng Xiao, what are you doing? You turned off your phone last night and woke me up so early today."
I kept laughing, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Did you go find Lilac last night?" he asked me.
I suddenly understood: He may have started to suspect that Dingxiang and I were doing something we shouldn't do after he discovered that I had turned off my phone. From this, I thought: Could it be that Dingxiang also turned off the phone? I suddenly became nervous. If that was really the case, I
But I can't tell clearly.
"I was too tired yesterday. After talking to you on the phone, I went home directly to sleep. Because I was worried about being disturbed by the phone call, I turned off the phone. I will look for her today, don't worry." But I still think it's better.
It should be made clear to him.
"That's it. I was in such a hurry, but you went back to sleep. You're not a friend enough," he said.
"Demao, do you suspect that there is another reason why I turned off my phone? Did you call Dingxiang and find that she also turned off her phone, so you suspected me?" I asked, feeling that some things should be explained clearly.
He is a classmate and a good friend. I don’t want any misunderstandings to happen between us. I know that misunderstandings between people often occur when they are deliberately concealed. Sometimes the more worried about others’ suspicion, the more
It will make things worse.
"No. What are you talking about?" he said, "I have told President Chang about it, and she still blames you for not treating her as a friend."
Although he didn't admit it, I already felt that he was beginning to doubt me, and I could feel it from the tone of his words. But it was good, at least he no longer doubted me, and he immediately changed the subject.
Explained the problem. "After all, I don't meet her often, and my matter is considered a trivial matter." I said.
"Yes. But from now on, you should contact her directly. Feng Xiao, you are so lucky. Governor Huang came when I was calling her last night, and I didn't even have time to call her. Do you know
?Governor Huang immediately took the phone from my hand and said something to President Chang." He said with a smile.
"What?" I was not only surprised but also a little excited.
He said: "Governor Huang told President Chang that as long as she does not violate her principles, he hopes she will handle some matters flexibly. These are his exact words. He did not mention your name in this sentence, but I believe President Chang heard it.
Got it."
"Just one sentence?" I asked.
"Yes. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and left. I was stunned for a long time without reacting. At first, I was worried for a long time, and I was a little afraid of being blamed by him. Then I suddenly figured it out.
Yes, he is speaking for you. Leaders are like this. Sometimes just one sentence is enough. What is the joke? Xiao Fengxian, a famous prostitute in the early Republic of China, if she joined the migrant workers
The target of anti-pornography; if she follows Cai E, she will be famous forever; if she follows Sun Yat-sen, she may become the mother of the country. The important revelation of this matter is that it is not about what you do, but who you are doing it with. You see
"Although I'm just a little secretary now, this position is very important. Don't you think so?"
I laughed and said, "Yes. Just do your best, you little fairy."
He also laughed, "I mentioned myself in it. This joke is not accurate. Let me change it. It said that three men went to propose marriage together, and the girl's parents asked him to introduce himself. A said: I have 10 million. B said
: I have a mansion worth 20 million. The parents were very satisfied and asked C, what does your house have? C replied: I have nothing, only a child in your daughter’s belly. A and B were speechless and hurried
Leave. This joke illustrates the point that the core competitiveness is not money and houses, but that you must have your own people in key positions."
I laughed again, "It seems like you gained a lot from your trip to Beijing this time."
He smiled and said, "I just heard some new jokes." Then he added, "I called you later, but I found that you had turned off your phone. Feng Xiao, you are sometimes too much. I was so excited last night.
I couldn't find a place to vent my anger all night long. You have to be responsible for this." He criticized me.
"I was really too tired yesterday. I didn't even call my father-in-law." I said, apologetically.
"You," he said, "let me tell you another joke. I only heard it when I came to Beijing this time. It was said that there was a fire in the women's bathroom, and the people inside became a mess, and ran out naked.
There was a crowd of white flowers on the street, and an old man shouted, cover your face! The naked women suddenly woke up, but there were three important parts of their bodies, and they couldn't cover them in a hurry, and they were at a loss. At this time, the old man shouted again, just cover your face, the lower parts are all covered.
Same! Haha! Feng Xiao, this joke has given us a very important revelation, that is, it is impossible to cover every aspect of the work under special circumstances, but we must grasp the key points. No matter how busy you are, you must grasp the key points.
Do you agree?"
I laughed again, "I understand, I will definitely go find Dingxiang today."
I think I should call Lin Yi first. It is a big project and he specifically told me about it yesterday.
"Kang Demao is accompanying Governor Huang on a business trip in Beijing." I said to him after the call was connected, "What he means is..."
"I understand. In other words, Governor Huang thinks there is a problem with our previous plan, is that what he means?" He asked me immediately after I told me the content of the phone call with Kangdemao.
"That's how I understand it. Kang Demao said that he could only speak to this extent on the phone." I said.
"That plan is indeed simpler. I know it, and I will immediately ask a professional company to make a feasibility study report. By the way, when will they return to Jiangnan?" he asked me.
"It will probably take half a month." I said.
"In this way, I will ask them to prepare the feasibility study report and plan as soon as possible. It will probably take about ten days. At that time, I will ask Secretary Kang to help me take a look at it, lest they find new problems when they come back." He said.
"This is best. I'll send him an email then and we'll do some research." I said.
"When are you going to see President Chang?" he asked again.
"I'll try to make an appointment with her as soon as possible. Just in the next few days. I'll wait until Sun Lulu comes back." I replied.
"You must find a way to bring your relationship closer, no matter what method you use. This matter is very important." He said.
This was the second time he told me about this matter. In the past, he rarely repeated the same thing like this. From this, I knew how much weight this matter held in his heart.
However, what he said "any method will do" gave me a strange feeling. I thought to myself: Does he mean that he wants me to do whatever it takes? Including...
Let’s see what happens then. I thought to myself.
In the morning, I went to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures for Chen Yuan, and then made a special trip to the retirement office, mainly to tell the director that he asked his mother-in-law to continue working at my house starting tomorrow.
After finishing all these things, I suddenly felt that I should go to Dean Tang's place.
He happened to be in the office, and now he has moved to Principal Zhang's old office. After all, this office is larger, and it also shows different powers. When I entered, I found that his face was not very good, but he saw
I was still very happy, "You're back?" he asked me.
"Yeah. I came back yesterday. I was too tired and took a rest." I said.
"Why are you going to Beijing? Why did Principal Zhang send you there? There are many people at the school?" he asked me.
"It's nothing big, I just help him go to a meeting." I said.
He immediately laughed and said, "Don't lie to me. I know what you are going to do for him. But I advise you, you should avoid some things. Knowing too much about the leader's affairs is not good for you."
What a benefit. I am your teacher, and this sentence is for your own good."
I sighed, "I can't help it. He has already called me, can I still refuse?"
"It is not impossible for subordinates to get very close to their leaders, but you must be mentally prepared. You must know that once you get too close to your leaders, you will be both prosperous and deprived in the future.
It's damaging our relationship. Do you understand what I mean?" He said with a very serious look and a serious tone.
I really don’t quite understand, “What do you mean?”
"Why don't you, a smart person like you, understand? Nowadays, some people do things without considering the consequences and appoint and remove cadres at will. I am very worried about the future...Xiao Feng, there are some words that I can only point out. You are a smart person.
You should understand what I mean." He said. (To be continued)
