Seeing the old man, Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin and others were immediately surprised.
However, Yan Zhiqiang strode forward as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He stretched out his hands from a distance and said with a smile on his face: "Deputy Mayor Jiang, you are here, it's great."
Vice Mayor Jiang?
When everyone heard this, their expressions were shocked, and then they looked astonished.
No wonder this old man's face felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
It turned out to be Jiang Pengfei, the deputy mayor of Zhongping! You can often see news about Jiang Pengfei on Zhongping local TV station.
Jiang Pengfei smiled slightly and shook hands with Yan Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, long time no see. You are in good spirits."
The tone was quite cordial.
Yan Zhiqiang complimented and smiled: "No, you are always strong and energetic."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
When Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin and others saw this, their expressions changed.
How could they not understand that Jiang Pengfei was here for Yan Zhiqiang.
No wonder Yan Zhiqiang dared to look cold and perfunctory when facing Yang Kaiming, the leader of his superior supervisory unit. It turned out that he had Jiang Pengfei as his back-up support.
Everyone's hearts suddenly felt heavy. Yan Zhiqiang's backup had arrived, and the assessment might be in trouble.
Although they thought so in their hearts, they quickly showed warm smiles on their faces, hurried up to greet him, and said hello one after another.
"Hello, Vice Mayor Jiang."
"Nice to meet you."
Jiang Pengfei is the deputy mayor. He is above them in both position and rank, so he must be respectful and enthusiastic.
The smile on Jiang Pengfei's face disappeared, he responded casually, and shook hands with Zhao Shuxin and Zhang Xiaoping with an indifferent expression.
When it was Yang Mingkai's turn, Jiang Pengfei turned a blind eye and passed by without knowing whether it was intentional or not.
Yang Mingkai took back his hand with an embarrassed look on his face, groaning secretly in his heart, knowing that he had offended Jiang Pengfei.
If he had known that Yan Zhiqiang's background was so powerful, he would not have come out of this troubled waters.
Although Zhao Shuxin knew the purpose of Jiang Pengfei's visit, he still had to ask knowingly: "Vice Mayor Jiang, why did you come to Chenguang Foreign Languages Institute?"
Jiang Pengfei said calmly: "I'm not in charge of education and culture. Today Zhiqiang said that he wanted to assess the colleges affiliated to his subordinates. He invited me to come and take a look, so I came."
Zhao Shuxin thought that you didn't come when the assessment started, but you came when Yang Kaiming was scolding Yan Zhiqiang. You were obviously here to help.
Suddenly, Yan Zhiqiang said in a very remorseful tone: "Vice Mayor Jiang, you came at the right time. I want to admit my mistake to you!"
Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Pengfei was also startled: "Zhiqiang, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Zhiqiang said: "Vice Mayor Jiang, today I will lead an expert assessment team to assess Chenguang Foreign Languages College.
Because the students of Chenguang College behaved extremely abnormally during the assessment, I was so anxious that I forgot about the provisions of the contract and unilaterally announced the termination of the assessment and canceled the affiliation qualification of Chenguang College."
"Now I realize that I was a little impulsive.
Even if a student from Chenguang Foreign Languages College cheats, how can I do it without evidence?"
"Fortunately, Leader Zhao and others from the Zhanan District Supervisory Group were present and woke me up in time, and asked Dean Xu to invite Leader Yang to severely criticize and admonish me. Only then did I realize the mistake I had made, and I was deeply saddened by it.
and self-blame.”
"Vice Mayor Jiang, you are here just in time. I must take the initiative to admit my mistakes to you. Please punish me severely."
Having said this, Yan Zhiqiang showed a sad expression and his head drooped, like a primary school student admitting his mistake.
Everyone in Chenguang Academy looked puzzled.
Jiang Pengfei is Yan Zhiqiang's backer and holds a high position. Yan Zhiqiang should obviously complain to him and then retaliate against Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin and others. Why should he take the initiative to admit his mistakes instead?
Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin, and Zhang Xiaoping's expressions changed slightly, and they cursed in their hearts: "This treacherous old fox!"
How could they not understand Yan Zhiqiang's intentions?
Since there is no evidence to prove that students at Chenguang Foreign Languages College cheated, it is unreasonable for Yan Zhiqiang to unilaterally stop the assessment, declare that Chenguang College has failed the assessment, and cancel the affiliation.
If Yang Kaiming and the others explain what happened first, even Jiang Pengfei will not be able to protect Yan Zhiqiang.
Because no matter how high their position or rank, cadres must be reasonable, abide by the rule of law, and act in accordance with the rules. Jiang Pengfei cannot lie and say that Yan Zhiqiang has no evidence and is right not to act in accordance with the contract.
However, Yan Zhiqiang was the first to admit his mistake. Not only did he surrender and appear responsible, he immediately downplayed the nature of his mistake and deprived Yang Mingkai and others of the opportunity to file a complaint.
In addition, what Yan Zhiqiang said is very skillful.
He first emphasized that the behavior of students at Chenguang College was "extremely abnormal," and then his subsequent behavior became "caused by reason" and "impulsive," leaving Jiang Pengfei with the opportunity to ask questions.
Then, Yan Zhiqiang specifically emphasized the warnings from Zhao Shuxin and others and Yang Kaiming's criticism of him. On the surface, he was describing the facts, but secretly he was actually complaining to Jiang Pengfei, accusing Zhao Shuxin and others of interfering in the school's internal affairs, and Yang Kaiming used his power to suppress others.
With a few words, not only did he achieve several goals, but he also turned against the guest and reversed the unfavorable situation in an instant.
Although Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin and others were angry at Yan Zhiqiang's cunning, they had to admire that this guy was indeed a cunning man.
Jiang Pengfei said warmly: "So that's what happened.
Zhiqiang, I'm not telling you, your temper should really change. You are too impatient. How can you violate the contract without evidence?
There's nothing wrong with people's complaints, you really deserve to be criticized."
Yan Zhiqiang said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Vice Mayor Jiang, I deeply reflect on my mistakes."
Jiang Pengfei smiled and said: "You don't have to blame yourself so much. In fact, this is not a big mistake. It is just a mistake made in a moment of urgency. There is no need for severe punishment. It is really making a mountain out of a molehill. What do you think?"
He looked at Yang Kaiming, Zhao Shuxin and others.
"Vice Mayor Jiang is right."
Everyone dared to say anything, and they could only smile and nod in agreement.
Jiang Pengfei suddenly changed his words: "But Zhiqiang, you just said that students from Chenguang Foreign Languages College performed extremely abnormally in the assessment. What is going on?"
Yan Zhiqiang was waiting for him to ask this question, and quickly said: "Vice Mayor Jiang, the thing is like this..." He told the story of the extraordinary performance of Zhao Tiejun and other students during the assessment process.
After Jiang Pengfei heard this, his face immediately became solemn, and he looked at Yang Kaiming and others seriously: "Is it true?"
Yan Zhiqiang did not distort the facts on this matter, and Yang Kaiming and others nodded.
Jiang Pengfei asked: "Who is the person in charge of Chenguang Foreign Languages College?"
Xu Qingyi was not of a high level, so she had been standing silently nearby. When she heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Vice Mayor Jiang, I am Xu Qingyi, the person in charge of Chenguang Foreign Languages College. You can just call me Xiao Xu."
Jiang Pengfei glanced at her coldly: "Let me ask you, how are the academic performance of the students Zhiqiang mentioned just now?"
Xu Qingyi's heart thumped: "It's not very good."
Jiang Pengfei said displeased: "What kind of answer is this?
When I ask you about your students’ academic performance, please don’t be vague and give me an accurate number.”
Xu Qingyi said awkwardly: "Sorry, Vice Mayor Jiang, I am not responsible for the specific teaching. I don't know the learning status of these students very well. Can I ask the instructor of their class to respond?"
Jiang Pengfei waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up."
He muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who is in charge? He doesn't even understand the students' learning status. His professional level is too poor!"
