Zhang Zhong did not expect that he had just been promoted to be a judge of the Pu Songling Award, and Yang Fengxia was appointed as the leader of the cultural exchange group.
Zhang Zhong participated in a visiting delegation before. At that time, he was the deputy leader and Yang Fengxia was the leader. They went to the United States.
Although he had the title of a deputy member of the group that time, he was actually a mascot, just a name and a face. He had no actual obligations and was not responsible for managing the members.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong asked, "Who will go with me?"
Yang Fengxia said, "The deputy leader is Li Hebin. You can choose the others by yourself, as long as they are members of the Writers' Association."
Hearing that Li Hebin was the deputy commander, Zhang Zhong frowned and said, "Isn't this appropriate? Let Mr. Li be my deputy?"
Li Hebin is the Party Secretary of the Chinese Writers Association.
When many people hear the words "Chairman of the Writers' Association", they first think that the chairman is the top leader. In fact, this is not the case. The real top leader in the Writers' Association must be the party secretary.
In other words, Li Hebin is the actual leader of the Chinese Writers Association.
To give an inappropriate example, if the Chinese Writers Association is compared to a private enterprise, then Yang Fengxia is just the CEO, while Li Hebin is the boss.
It doesn't make sense to ask the top leader of the Writers' Association to be your deputy.
However, Yang Fengxia had already thought of Zhang Zhong's concerns and said with a smile, "Secretary Li brought this up himself, and don't worry, he will only be watching with the group this time and will never interfere in specific affairs."
"I still think the previous model was pretty good. Let Secretary Li be the group leader, and I'll have a deputy group member watch from the side, and both of us stay in a comfortable area. It's good for everyone," Zhang Zhong said.
Yang Fengxia thought about it for a while and came up with a compromise, "Zhang Zhong, do you think this will work? This time we will set up double team leaders. You and Secretary Li will both serve as team leaders. You two will discuss the specific matters. If anything happens,
If there is any dispute between you two, you can vote on the spot. And what I just said has not changed. You will choose the members of this visiting delegation yourself, and you will determine the number."
Zhang Zhong knew the meaning of the plan proposed by Yang Fengxia, which was to make him the leader of the group and at the same time relieve his worries.
He could understand that the reason why Yang Fengxia wanted to make him the mission leader was for her reputation in France. When the time came, the announcement would be able to write something like "the winner of the Goncourt Literary Prize will lead the mission."
Zhang Zhong's previous concerns were two-fold. After all, Li Hebin is the leader of the Writers' Association, and being his deputy may arouse criticism. If something happens and the two of them disagree, he will not be able to make the decision.
Taking the blame.
This plan is very good now. Li Hebin and Zhang Zhong have no one who is in charge and the other is deputy. There is no one who leads whom. Naturally, others can't gossip much.
If there is any disagreement between the two, the voting system will be adopted, and Zhang Zhong will choose the members of the group himself, so Zhang Zhong will naturally have an advantage.
And no one will say what this voting method is.
Now that Yang Fengxia had shown enough sincerity, Zhang Zhong did not refuse anymore and just asked, "Chairman Yang, you asked me to confirm the number of people. What if I didn't control it well and chose a hundred and eighty people?"
?”
Yang Fengxia chuckled, "Don't say you choose 180, even if you choose all the members of our Writers' Association, as long as you just want it, I will dare to apply for you. When the time comes, it will be easier for me and the leaders to apply.
Just say that you asked for it by name. Hey, I really want to see you choose more people. I am a member of the Writers Association... No, it should be that I have never seen such a large-scale interview in all my years of life.
Regiment. When the time comes, we will make the battle bigger and pack dozens of planes... No, dozens of planes will definitely not work. Our Chinese Writers' Association plus the provincial writers' associations and the city's writers' associations should have at least hundreds of thousands, or thousands
We still need a plane. When we get to France, we will have over 100,000 cars lined up on the streets. I don’t know if the roads in Paris can hold over 100,000 cars.”
When Zhang Chong heard that Yang Fengxia was joking with him, he was not afraid and said with a smile, "Chairman Yang, if you say that, then I will take this matter to heart. Don't worry, if so many people really want to go there, we won't
Spend public money to avoid causing public outrage. I pay for it myself. I am personally responsible for everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everything is of the highest standard. If the five-star hotels in Paris are not enough, we will go to Le Mans and Dijon. If not, we will go to Switzerland and Belgium.
Go, Europe is only so big anyway. Don’t worry about the cost, I have been frugal in the past few years, so I can still make up the money."
Yang Fengxia didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would also make a joke by hitting the snake with a stick, but this joke reminded Yang Fengxia that the person she was talking to on the phone was one of the few rich people in the country, and it was said that his net worth was tens of billions.
If everyone from the entire Writers Association was brought there, Zhang Zhong would really be able to afford the money.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. You can decide the number of people yourself. If you are worried about the trouble of having too many people, just bring a dozen people. If you want to be lively, bring more people, dozens of people are fine," Yang Fengxia said.
.
"Okay, I understand, then I will accept this. Later I will make a list of people to invite for you." Zhang Zhong said.
Yang Fengxia smiled and said, "Let me tell you in advance, give me your list, and I will only be responsible for helping you invite people. Our Writers Association system is inherently loose, and I can't order others to follow you. Whether you go or not depends on them."
, so you should also pay attention when making the list."
In fact, few people Zhang Zhong wants to bring to the delegation will refuse, and when Yang Fengxia comes, Zhang Zhong should invite a few people he knows well.
However, she still had to tell Zhang Zhong about this in advance to prevent Zhang Zhong from putting some special people on the list.
"I know this. Don't worry, Chairman Yang."
…
After hanging up Yang Fengxia's call, Zhang Zhong called Liu Yuanhe back.
Liu Yuanhe didn't expect Zhang Zhong to call him back so quickly. After answering the phone, he was quite surprised and said, "Mr. Zhang, have you thought of it so quickly?"
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Yes, Chairman Liu, just now, you suddenly called me, and I was a little caught off guard, so I didn't think about it for a while. After I hung up the phone, I thought about it carefully, and I still felt that I couldn't do it as a judge.
, On the one hand, as I said before, I am too young and not qualified. On the other hand, I will take a delegation from our Writers Association to visit France in June, but I am also too busy to do all the work, and I am afraid that I will lose sight of one thing."
Hearing Zhang Zhong's words, Liu Yuanhe was obviously stunned for a moment.
First of all, Zhang Zhong opened his mouth and called him Chairman Liu, which shows that Zhang Zhong checked his information after talking to him on the phone and found out that he is now the vice chairman of the Writers Association.
