When they returned to the office again, everyone was silent and looked at Zhou Wen silently with awe and envy in his eyes. Things spread quickly in official circles. The news that the little clerk was promoted to the mayor's secretary has spread throughout Jiangbei.
There are various rumors. Some say that Zhou Wen is a relative of Vice Mayor Zhou. Some say that Zhou Wen got to the position by selling out his work unit. No matter whether it is envy or jealousy, it cannot change the fact that Zhou Wen leaped over the dragon's gate. This is how officialdom is in general.
Unless he makes a big mistake, he will only go up but not down. As long as Zhou Wen is not a fool, he will not be transferred back to the office.
In fact, Zhou Wen is not a fool. Over the years, he has learned some things about officialdom. When he stood in the office and received the envious gazes of everyone, he did not utter arrogance like a nouveau riche, but was as usual as before.
Smiling implicitly and greeting politely.
Colleagues left their seats one after another to shake hands with Zhou Wen, especially the deputy section chiefs of the real estate department who were so excited that they held Zhou Wen's hand and talked enthusiastically as if they were relatives they had not seen for many years. Zhou Wen shook hands with them cordially and greeted them without a trace.
shelf.
"Xiao Zhou is back, hurry up and sit down in the room." The director came out of the office and shook hands with Zhou Wen with a smile on his back. He invited him into his office and pressed him on the sofa. He handed him cigarettes and made tea in a polite manner.
Incredible.
"Xiao Zhou, comrades from the district came this morning and fired Section Chief Wang from our real estate office. This old Wang has always been lawless and there is someone behind him... Oh, I won't say it anymore. In fact, if you don't transfer him,
If so, this section chief position must be yours. Come and smoke, don’t forget us when you get to the city."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "The director has always taken good care of me. I was favored by the city leaders thanks to the director's training and cultivation. Although my job is still in the city, my home is still in the jurisdiction of our office. I will still be in the future."
I need the director to take more care of me."
The director laughed heartily. He didn't dare to pat Zhou Wen on the shoulder anymore but patted the sand on the back and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me and I will definitely handle it beautifully for you."
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the office door, and the director shouted at the top of his voice: "Come in."
The door opened a crack and came in was the deputy director. The low-level official who had bossed Zhou Wen to close the door from the outside yesterday seemed to be a completely different person now. His whole face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. He came in and shook hands with Zhou Wen and exchanged greetings for a long time.
Said: "I have a bad temper and sometimes I can't speak clearly. Secretary Zhou, please don't take it to heart."
Zhou Wen's five years of training at the grassroots level were not in vain. He enthusiastically took the deputy director's hand and said, "Big brother, it's okay to say so. You are criticizing me for my own good."
The deputy director said a few polite words and left. When he went out, Zhou Wen said calmly: "Close the door." He returned the words to the deputy director unchanged from yesterday.
As soon as he left, the director's face turned cold: "This guy is so stupid. This time the TV station exposed our office, it was him who caused the trouble. Good public welfare land must be used to make money, and he doesn't lack the money. This is not selfish."
Are you looking for embarrassment? If you don't see it, the Discipline Inspection Commission will come to him in a week."
The reason for the conflict between the two directors was that Zhou Wen was smoking and not talking, and by exposing the incident, he indirectly helped the director by knocking him down.
The director is also very happy that the deputy director who has been trying to evade him is about to die. Zhou Wen, a humble clerk in the past, has suddenly become the secretary of the deputy mayor. After all, he can be regarded as someone in the city.
No matter what the director said, Zhou Wen would be left for dinner. Zhou Wen did not refuse. Colleagues from the noon office came to a nearby hotel to have a meal. When the meal was about to end, Zhou Wen excused himself to go to the toilet to pay the bill.
"Xiao Zhou, why are you like this!" The director looked angry after he woke up.
"Director, I have never asked you to be seconded to work in the municipal government for so many years in the office. I am very happy and grateful to the comrades for taking care of me all the time. Thank you very much. I hope you can give me this opportunity to express your gratitude."
Zhou Wen said and drank all the wine in the glass. Everyone applauded and secretly praised Zhou Wen for being a good man.
…
The chief of the real estate section was dismissed, the deputy director was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the office became the director again. With Zhou Wen's relationship, the rental of Gymboree's house was much smoother. Not only did the procedures go through one-stop service, but the rent was also significantly reduced to 75,000 per year.
But this time, the TV station reported the whole story again. The office, which had lost a lot of face due to the exposure incident last time, handled the matter beautifully this time and completely regained its face.
The hardware equipment of Gymboree Kindergarten is not that it is the top aristocratic bilingual kindergarten in the city. It has lawns, gardens, playgrounds, all kinds of toys and teaching aids, and there is no need to purchase additional ones. The only thing that happened in the classroom on the second floor is the blood stains on the ceiling and the floor.
The drawings of people lying down with chalk have to be painted over again.
There is also the problem of haunting which would still be difficult for others to deal with, but Liu Ziguang is completely different. The dead ghost Long Shao, but the ghost who was shot in the head by him is also afraid of evil people. Liu Ziguang invested in the establishment of this kindergarten, and he is still afraid of it.
After the five-thousand-ring earth red crackling sound was released, the new Hongqi Kindergarten was opened. The name Hongqi was chosen to commemorate the former kindergarten run by Hongqi Iron and Steel Works. Liu Ziguang and most of the young people in Gaotupo graduated from that kindergarten.
As for the source of students, there is no need to worry about it. Children in Gaotupo have to travel several kilometers to go to kindergarten. It is inconvenient to pick up and drop off. The tuition is not cheap. Now that there is a kindergarten at your doorstep, you will definitely transfer to it. Moreover, the tuition of this kindergarten is so low. It is a welfare*
*Qualitative.
Kindergarten is not a nine-year compulsory education, so the tuition fees are usually very high. Even if Liu Ziguang asked for a high price and offered tens of thousands of sponsorship fees, he would still have business, but he adopted a capital-guaranteed operation method and did not want to make money from it. Li Wan was very surprised and asked him why he was like this.
Liu Ziguang only said one sentence: "If everything is for money, then the conscience of this society will be dead."
When Hongqi Kindergarten opened, the TV station came to interview the office leaders. Hundreds of parents came with their lively and lovely children. Retired seniors from Chenguang Machinery Factory and Hongqi Steel Plant also came. Principal Lao Wang from Zizi Middle School also came.
Here comes the elderly waist drum troupe, the middle school drum and bugle troupe, and the gongs and drums are roaring. A silk ribbon with big red flowers is lying across the entrance of the kindergarten. Liu Ziguang, who is newly dressed, is accompanied by the neighbors and the director of the office, the famous TV host Jiang Xueqing.
Cut the red silk.
There was applause, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles. The TV station took the opportunity to interview several parents of young children, and everyone was full of praise for this kind of cause that benefits the people.
"In the past, we had to leave the bus an hour in advance to pick up our children. If it rained or was windy, we would have to be late, which would be a big hassle."
"Now the kindergarten can pick up and drop off the children right in front of my home without having to cross the street. It's convenient and safe, and we feel relieved to go to work."
Young parents say this.
"I don't have to say anything to thank the party for its good policies." These are the words of a retired man.
Liu Ziguang made his first high-profile appearance. Flashbulbs flashed in front of him. Reporters surrounded him and kept asking questions. Liu Ziguang responded appropriately and looked like a middle-aged successful man.
Now Liu Ziguang actually controls four entities, but only this kindergarten is in his own name. The out-and-out business license is still in Li Jianguo's name, and the sand excavation site is contracted in the name of Wang Zhijun. Huaqing Pool is a bit unclear. Although it is now
Bei Xiaoshuai was in charge of the scene, but in name only he was helping second brother Zhuo watch.
Only Liu Ziguang of Hongqi Kindergarten took on the role of founder and investor, but the management was still left to professionals. The original director of the state-owned Hongqi Kindergarten, Aunt Si, a 70-year-old retired special-grade preschool teacher, was hired back as the director by Liu Ziguang.
Although the old man is over 70 years old, his spirits have gotten better and better since he took over the position of principal. The next spring, she hurriedly organized a group of teachers with preschool education qualifications. Liu Ziguang also entrusted the neighborhood committee to help find one.
Helping hard-working laid-off female workers as cleaners, childcare workers, and assistants has solved the re-employment problem of a large number of laid-off workers.
After finally getting rid of the reporters, Liu Ziguang was about to take a breath and drink some water. Suddenly two people appeared in front of him. It was Zhou Wen and Liu Xiaojing. Their children happened to be sent to Hongqi Kindergarten, and they were all dealing with the office.
Zhou Wen did it all by himself.
"Old classmate." Zhou Wen grabbed Liu Ziguang's hand and shook it vigorously without saying anything. Everything was said in silence. Liu Xiaojing's eyes turned red with excitement and she quietly wiped away her tears. Her husband's future was settled and her children didn't need to go to kindergarten.
Good things happened one after another when I was picked up and dropped off by car. All thanks to my old classmate Liu Ziguang.
"Zhou Wen will trouble you more if something happens in the future." Liu Ziguang said with a smile.
"Liu Ziguang, if you don't come to me for something, I will settle the score with you!" Zhou Wen, who became the mayor's secretary, obviously had a different demeanor than before. He turned around and greeted loudly: "Director Li, come here to take pictures!"
The director of the office immediately ran over and several people stood together. The Evening News reporter clicked the shutter button.
…
In Binjiang Jinguan City, Li Wan was gently stirring his coffee while reading the evening newspaper for a few days. Liu Ziguang's photo was on the third page, with a bright smile and a mature and wise attitude. The background was the gate of Hongqi Kindergarten.
What does this man want to do? Li Wan can't help but have a lot of thoughts.
