However, what I didn't expect was that at this moment, Dingxiang came to talk to me, right on QQ: Feng Xiao, you are finally on QQ! Great!
I'm a little surprised: It's almost midnight, why hasn't she rested yet?
So I asked: Dingxiang, why haven't you rested yet? Where's Demao?
She replied to me: He drinks outside every day and gets drunk every day. I have to serve him when he comes back.
I immediately understood that Kang Demao must be taking up a post soon, so he was invited to dinner every day. But I immediately became worried: Ding Xiang, you should persuade him. After all, he is still the secretary of Governor Huang, and it affects his work during the day.
That's not good.
She said: He was just as drunk as Governor Huang when they were together!
I was even more surprised: Why? How could it be?
She said: Governor Huang always mentioned that he was going to take office, and as a result, many people came to toast him every time.
I immediately understood: What a good thing. Governor Huang was greeting the people around him and asking them to help him in the future.
She said: Yes. De Mao also said the same.
I asked: Did he drink again today?
She said: Yes. I don’t know when I will come back.
I said: Then you'd better hire a nanny. You can't do this. By the way, how is your health? Is the child's condition okay?
She said: Not bad. Feng Xiao, I heard that you are going to be the director of the obstetrics and gynecology hospital soon? Congratulations. I will come to your place for a checkup from now on.
I said: I haven't gone there yet. But from the technical point of view, the hospital affiliated to the Medical University is still better.
she:……
I immediately said again: Dingxiang, I am telling the truth.
She finally spoke: I'm tired.
I feel a little sorry, because I probably know how she feels in her heart. Since she married Kang Demao, we have deliberately distanced ourselves a lot. In fact, I really regard her as a friend in my heart, but the reality is
Yes, we can't even continue this basic friendship. Between her and Kang Demao, of course I have to consider the friendship with Kang Demao.
This is an impossible choice. It’s not because she is a woman, but more because I really care about the friendship with Kang Demao. To be precise, it was Kang Demao’s personal struggle experience that moved me.
I was moved. For Kang Demao, it is really not easy for him to get to where he is today.
So I said: You should go to bed early. You should listen to my suggestion and find a nanny.
She stopped talking to me, and later I discovered that her QQ avatar had turned black and white at some point. She was offline.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Then I waited for a while, hoping to get an email reply from Hong Ya, but there was no reply. Although I was a little anxious, I knew it was normal for her not to be in front of the computer. So I went to bed, and I didn't dare to let myself continue to be so excited.
, because I don’t know what important things will be waiting for me tomorrow.
The next day I got up early in the morning and went to the hospital immediately. In the department, I pretended that nothing was wrong. After inspecting the ward, I stayed in the office and turned on my computer.
There is still no reply from Hong Ya, nor is there any message from her agreeing to add me as a friend.
I accidentally saw the manuscripts of the papers I had written, and I suddenly became upset: Could it be that my scientific research project was over like this? From this, I thought of Zheng Dazhuang and felt that I was very ashamed of his expectations of me.
In fact, now I can completely transform that scientific research project into a product, but I don't want any trouble at this juncture.
The only problem now is to let it go.
Now I really want to call Zheng Dazhuang, but after hesitation I gave up the idea: How should I tell him?
So I was thinking wildly in the office, and all kinds of things were surging in my mind. I don’t know when a cold wind blew in from the window, which made me shiver. I hurried to close the window and suddenly realized
It is already winter and the Spring Festival is approaching.
Spring Festival...I suddenly remembered something.
In fact, I really didn’t want to contact her, but suddenly I thought of what Lin Yu told me, so I had to go find her. It’s not a trivial matter to pay Governor Huang a New Year’s greeting, and I have to thank him properly no matter what.
That's right. This is the most basic etiquette, and it is also what I must express my feelings.
Picked up the phone and called Wu Yaru, "Are you free today? I want to trouble you with something."
She laughed on the phone, "What? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
The tension in my heart suddenly relaxed, "Okay. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
She paused on the phone for a while, probably thinking about what to eat, "I want to have a big meal."
I laughed and said, "What is a feast? Isn't this too big?"
She said: "I know you are rich, so when I talk about a big meal, I mean high consumption. How about it? You don't feel bad about money, do you?"
I laughed and said, "Okay. Tell me, where?"
She said: "I have to think about it carefully, and I will tell you after I have figured out where to go."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, tell me when you have decided on the place. I'll go there after get off work."
After the phone call, I breathed a long sigh of relief because I found that at least I hadn't offended her yet. I thought maybe the things she once mentioned to me about her niece Dong Jie were just her whims.
caprice.
Indeed, just think about it, how is it possible? I have that kind of relationship with her, how can I have a relationship with her niece! Even if she is engaged in art, it is impossible without considering ethical issues? This matter is too much
It's too unbelievable.
Of course, the most important thing is that I have no feelings for that little girl at all. Not only that, but I also feel awkward inside.
But now it's better, Wu Yaru seems to have forgotten that incident.
Because I was in a happy mood, I went to the outpatient clinic next. Now I not only went to see the situation in the outpatient clinic, but also looked for the shortcomings in the current outpatient clinic.
But I was also very emotional at the same time, because I thought of Jordan. I couldn't help but sigh at the rapid and cruel changes in the world: Who could have imagined that such a strong woman would reach this point?
People in the department were still so polite when they saw me, but I unknowingly said that my chest was straighter than before. I didn't do it deliberately, it was a natural reaction in the body after a person has strong confidence.
.
When I was about to get off work at noon, I suddenly received a call from the school office, "Principal Zhang invites you to go to his office."
It must have been my transfer. I knew this very well. At this moment, I suddenly became nervous: What kind of attitude will he have now?
What I didn't expect was that when Principal Zhang saw me this time, he showed a strange enthusiasm, and he actually left his desk, personally asked me to sit down on the sofa, and then called me
The office asked them to make tea for me right away.
I was flattered and suddenly felt a sense of panic.
He sat down opposite me with a kind smile on his face, as if the unhappiness between us had never existed. Then his face turned into a bright smile, and he even crossed his legs, "
Feng Xiao, congratulations."
I guess Lin Yi and him had already negotiated everything, which is why he became like this. So I hurriedly said: "Thank you, Principal Zhang, for training me over the years."
He waved his hand and said: "The main thing is that you are smart and work hard. Feng Xiao, you don't hate me, do you?"
I looked at him and pretended to be confused, "Principal Zhang, it's too late for me to thank you, why would I hate you?"
He suddenly laughed, "Haha! You are really smart. Okay, tell me, do you have any other requests before you leave? You can ask for it now and I will solve it for you right away."
I shook my head and said, "Nothing's wrong." Then I found him looking at me, so I said seriously: "Really!"
He looked at me and laughed, "Are you just willing to leave like this? Don't want anything? For example, you don't want the qualifications to teach graduate students that you have right away?"
My heart suddenly pounded, and I immediately looked at him and asked tentatively: "Principal Zhang, can I still retain such qualifications?"
He nodded, "Of course. But this requires our school to do some work, such as hiring you as a visiting professor. How about it? Are you willing?"
I was immediately overjoyed. You know, being a graduate student is one of my dreams. Anyone who is a professional hopes to have such qualifications. What is that? Tutor for master students! Tutor! That means more than just
An academic achievement is more of a recognition and recognition by the academic community. In addition, it also means that you have entered the academic mainstream.
"Thank you so much, Principal Zhang." So I said to him sincerely.
"So, you don't have to worry about anything. Our school can still cooperate with your hospital in the future. For example, students from our school can go to your hospital for internships and cooperate on scientific research projects... Feng Xiao, you said so
Right?" He looked at me with a smile.
At this moment, I seem to have understood: What he did should be a gesture of goodwill towards me. Since my transfer has become a foregone conclusion, it would be very unwise for him to make things difficult for me. Under such circumstances
Why not do it if you give me some benefits? As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make knots. This is the truth.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought: Why not bring that matter up to him immediately? So I said to him: "Principal Zhang, I really want to hear your opinion on something."
He still looked at me with a smile and said, "Tell me."
"My scientific research project..." I said, unable to help but lower my voice.
But he immediately interrupted me, "This matter is very troublesome. Because the funds for your scientific research project include matching funds from the school. I can't bring this matter up at the meeting."
I suddenly became anxious, "You can't just stop when you're halfway through the project, right? After all, so much money has been spent, and preliminary results have already been obtained."
"Money is one thing, but the subject is another matter. Feng Xiao, you are about to be the leader. You should know that many things must follow the minimum principles and procedures."
Seeing that his attitude was so clear, I couldn't say anything else, but I was still a little reluctant, "Principal Zhang, I think it would be a pity if this project is not turned into practical use."
He looked like he was thinking about it, and then said to me after a while: "We can arrange for other people to continue working on it. After all, this project contains funds from our school, and of course we won't just abandon it."
I didn't expect it to be like this, and I couldn't help but get excited. "Principal Zhang, you should know that this topic has cost me a lot of energy! This cannot be measured in money. Do you think so?
?”
His expression was indifferent, and he spread his hands, "There's nothing I can do."
I immediately said: "How much money the school has paid, I can make up for it myself and give it to the school. Is this okay?"
He stood up suddenly, "Xiao Feng, I didn't expect you to be so naive! You are about to be the leader, how can you be so naive? The scientific research funds were given by the Provincial Science and Technology Commission, and the school also made
Corresponding supporting facilities. These are state funds, and state funds must go through fixed procedures and be submitted for approval layer by layer. Your project funds have already been approved, and a large part of them have been spent, so you can use your own funds.
How can we exchange money for the continuation of the project? We are a university, and scientific research projects must ultimately be recognized by national authorities. How can it be as simple as you think? If that is really the case, anyone in society can do this.
Procedure. This is not child’s play!”
I immediately realized that I had been too impulsive just now, so I hurriedly asked him: "Principal Zhang, is there really no way to do it?"
He shook his head, "At least I can't think of any solution at the moment."
I couldn't help but feel depressed. In fact, regarding this scientific research project, I feel that I feel more sorry for Zheng Dazhuang.
Principal Zhang was pacing there. I didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he finally spoke, "Xiao Feng, I have an idea."
I was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly stood up, "Principal Zhang, please tell me."
"You can apply for new research projects through your hospital in the future. Didn't you say last time that it is necessary to continue research on this project?" He said slowly.
I had some doubts, "Is this okay? After all, the early results of this topic belong to the Medical University."
He looked at me and smiled meaningfully, "Then it depends on what you do."
I seemed to understand, "Principal Zhang, you mean that if I am hired as a visiting professor by the school and have the qualification to teach graduate students, it will be fine? Oh, no, I will still do this with you then.
Project."
He immediately stopped pacing and said, "Feng Xiao, Wang Xin's appointment has been decided, and the appointment documents have been sent to our school. Now I just don't know when your appointment documents will be released. If possible, the school will come together
Let’s hold a farewell ceremony for you two.”
I was stunned for a moment and then said hurriedly: "Since my appointment document has not been issued yet, then let's not be together. By the way, Principal Zhang, where is Wang Xin and what specific position does he hold?"
He replied: "He went to serve as the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city in our province. However, he still needs to be elected and appointed by the local congress. Of course, this is just a formality."
To be honest, I still can’t accept Wang Xin’s position in my heart, because I always feel that he is not suitable at all. But then I thought of myself, and suddenly I just smiled bitterly: Aren’t you yourself also being taken care of?
Did you get such an opportunity later? Maybe you are not suitable in the eyes of others.
So I said, "That's great. I have to go and congratulate him."
He laughed "haha", "That's right. Feng Xiao, I know there is some distance between you, but Wang Xin is really good. His biggest advantage is that he is kind and steady. You should learn more about this from him
Learning is the key. Of course, you also have your strengths, such as being smart and flexible in doing things. Hey! It would be great if the strengths of the two of you could be integrated."
I don't speak because I don't know what to say now.
He suddenly looked at me and smiled strangely, "Xiao Feng, why don't you speak?"
I said awkwardly: "I think you are right."
He waved his hand towards me and said: "Maybe you don't think so in your heart. By the way, Feng Xiao, there is one thing I still want to ask you again. Is it true that you and our family's poetry cannot be considered?
?”
I never expected that he would ask me this question again at this time, "Principal Zhang, I have already said that I will not consider getting married again."
He sighed: "Well, let's talk about this later. But I would like to advise you that you are still young and it is a good time for your career to develop. For you, family problems should be solved as soon as possible.
Feng Xiao, I know what kind of shortcomings my daughter has, but she is still very simple. Feng Xiao, you should know something about her, am I right? Shiyu used to be a little willful, that's because of her
At that time, I didn’t really understand what love was. But now she is different. She really likes you in her heart. Feng Xiao, I am her father. The only thing I hope now is that she can live with the person she likes.
, can live a happy life. She is a girl, what else can I expect from her?"
I noticed that there was a look of helplessness on his face, and he didn't seem to be faking it. I knew that this might be the real him, because I am already a father, and I can completely understand that as a father,
A father's inner thoughts.
To be honest, what he just said really touched me, but I couldn't express my position to him because I really couldn't accept his daughter. So, I could only say to him: "Principal Zhang, I'm sorry."
He let out a long sigh, waved his hand to me and said, "That's fine. Let's talk about this later. By the way, you go to the Organization Department right away."
I didn't ask him what he wanted me to do in the organization department, because what I wanted most was to leave his office as soon as possible. What he just said made me feel stressed and sad.
However, in general, I feel quite happy because Principal Zhang has just shown an attitude of letting go of all previous misunderstandings.
Then he went to the organization department.
The organization director was in his office. After I entered, I said to him: "Principal Zhang asked me to come to you."
The organization director's face was full of smiles, "Xiao Feng, come and sit down. Congratulations."
I smiled sheepishly, "Isn't it true that the official appointment hasn't been made yet?"
He looked at me and smiled, "Who said that? Your appointment has been issued, and it was delivered to us shortly after starting work today."
I suddenly became excited and felt my heart beating wildly. (To be continued)
