Chapter 56 This Pot is Too Heavy
Chapter 56 This Pot is Too Heavy
I just got to work and the director hasn’t started handling official business yet!
Then Lao Yang knocked on the door and came in with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Director Zheng."
"How did you come."
The director stood up to greet him. They had been to the countryside together in the past and later worked together in the cultural department. Lao Yang was the top leader and he was Lao Yang's deputy. Decades had passed and although they were of the same rank now, he was still Lao Yang's old superior after all.
How can we be negligent?
Old Yang smiled and said, "Let me give you some advice."
Director Zheng's heart skipped a beat. These were not nice words!
When old comrades give you suggestions, it means they have opinions on your work.
Although these semi-retired old guys have long lost their power.
But you would also feel bad if someone insulted you in person!
The director asked the man to sit down on the sofa and asked him to come in and make tea.
While talking nonsense, I was wondering what went wrong that made this old guy come to me.
Chatted for a few words.
Yang Zhencai got down to business: "Director Zheng, did you know that our CEO Jiang's fiancée is in Chengguanxiao?"
The director nodded: "I know. Teacher Feng is the daughter of our education system, how could I not know."
Yang Zhen said, "It's like this. I heard that Chengguan Primary School is going to select famous teachers. Teacher Feng didn't want to apply for it, but since the school has already given her the spot, why did it let someone else take it? Director Zheng, tell me the reason for this."
The director was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
Lao Yang said, "Why don't you make a phone call to confirm it?"
"wait."
The director did not refuse and immediately took out his cell phone to make a call.
I called the principal of Chengguan Primary School and the call was connected quickly.
"Hello Director Zheng, do you have any instructions?"
"What's the matter with Teacher Feng's qualification as a famous teacher?"
The principal replied, "You're asking this. Teacher Feng gave up the position to someone else. Is there a problem?"
The chief asked, "Who did you give it to?"
The principal said, "It's like this. The quota was originally given to her. Su Hongyan went to find her and discussed with her about giving the quota to Su Hongwu. I also personally confirmed that Xiao Feng agreed to it herself."
"Oh, I see."
The director hung up the phone and looked at Lao Yang, spreading his hands: "The old leader heard it. It was Teacher Feng who gave up the position himself."
"Bullshit!"
Old Yang slapped the armrest of the sofa and got angry: "The selection of famous teachers is such a serious matter, can you give it up? I've asked people, how can Su Hongwu, who teaches physical education, be selected as a famous teacher? What can he use to teach a famous teacher class? Is it physical education? Or is it just because he is Guo Youping's brother-in-law? You are talking nonsense! What do you mean by voluntarily giving it up? How old is Xiao Feng? The girl is thin-skinned. People bully her because she is a newcomer. How can the girl refuse when they come to her door to say good things?"
The director said helplessly: "Old Yang, we are not outsiders. Let's be honest. Your General Manager Jiang and Guo Youping are from the same family. They are cousins. They have discussed it all. How can I say anything about something that is consensual?"
"I do not care!"
Old Yang said with a sullen face: "Although Teacher Feng doesn't want to argue, our President Jiang will be unhappy if he finds out. You can do whatever you want. I'm telling you, if you don't solve this problem for me today, the education system will never take a penny from us again."
The director was suddenly overwhelmed. This was really bullshit.
How can I, an outsider, interfere in other people's relatives' affairs?
But you can't offend the God of Wealth!
Bei'an is facing financial difficulties, and even with special funds, the education system is often stretched.
I finally caught a fortune man, and he is also a half-son-in-law in the education system.
I hope you will support the work of the education system in the future!
If this is not handled properly, it will be difficult to attract sponsorship in the future.
There is also the face of the old boss. When I went to Boss Jiang for alms before, the old boss helped me and said a lot of good things. The favor is here, and I can't owe it, and I have to pay it back. I was really overwhelmed for a while.
The director asked, "There seems to be something wrong with the relationship between our CEO Jiang and his relatives?"
Old Yang didn't hide anything and just said a few words: "We are cousins. If there are fewer cousins, we are still close. If there are more cousins, we can't get along. It's the same! The main thing is that Guo Youping's wife is not polite and bullies Xiao Feng because he is new and a relative. Xiao Feng can't refuse. Anyway, you have to do this for me, otherwise don't say you know me in the future."
The director had a bitter look on his face and after chatting for a while he sent Lao Yang away.
Then he called the principal of Chengguan Primary School.
"You didn't do it right!"
The director had a different attitude towards the principal and criticized him directly, "I know about the things in the school even if you don't tell me. Feng Yu is new here. Su Hongyan thinks that newcomers are easy to bully because she is older than him. Besides, she is a relative and asked for his quota. How can Feng Yu refuse? It would be fine if it was someone else, but Feng Yu has a special status. Don't you know that? Boss Jiang just donated millions to the education system, and then this happened. People think we are destroying bridges after crossing the river. How can I put my face aside? Even if my old face is worthless, if I encounter any difficulties in the future and want to ask for sponsorship again, can I still open my mouth?"
The principal said with a bitter face: "Director Zheng, they are relatives, what can I do?"
The director continued to criticize: "You should have done a good job of reviewing this matter beforehand. Either don't give the quota, or if you have given it, don't let anything unexpected happen. If you were in this situation, would you feel happy?"
The principal asked, “What should we do now?”
The director of the bureau gave instructions: "I remember that your selection plan has set a lot of preconditions. Since there are preconditions, you must conduct a thorough review. How can you allow people who do not meet the conditions to participate in the selection of famous teachers?"
The principal understood and felt even more distressed.
Leaders are good at speaking, they give the point but don’t say everything.
Whether you can understand it depends entirely on yourself.
Of course the principal could understand, otherwise how could he come up. But this kind of offending thing is really worrying!
On one side is the God of Wealth of the education system and the guest of honor of the county leaders, whom no one wants to offend.
On one side is Zhang Qiao's top leader, and he doesn't want to offend him.
It’s really a dilemma!
But the director has spoken, and we can’t please both sides, so we have to choose one of the two.
The bureau chief cannot be involved yet.
I am really worried to death.
On the way back to school, the principal was still thinking about who should be given the credit.
After much thought, only Old Zhu, who is in charge, can take the credit for this achievement.
So I went back to school and called Lao Zhu to my office.
Old Zhu was in a good mood and came in to ask, "Did the principal go to the bureau for good news?"
The principal smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a good thing, Lao Zhu, there are some problems with this year's selection of famous teachers."
Zhu's heart was beating fast, and he asked, "What's the problem?"
The principal said, "Since we are selecting famous teachers, they must be worthy of this honor and stand up to everyone's test. I think there are some problems with the selection criteria you set before. They are too vague and not specific. For example, in terms of academic qualifications, it is better to set a hard condition directly. Teachers participating in the selection must be from provincial key or even 211 undergraduate normal colleges with a major in education. In terms of teaching direction, it should also be more specific. At least teachers who teach main subjects such as Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages can participate in the selection!"
Old Zhu was instantly numb. What does this mean?
The selection results were almost finalized, but now they are being overturned.
According to this standard, two people might be kicked out directly.
And kicking those two people out, this is to...
Old Zhu's scalp suddenly tingled: "Principal, it's already been decided!"
The principal said earnestly: "Mr. Zhu, if there are flaws in your work, you must improve them in advance. You can't wait until problems arise to fix them. That will be too late. The selection of famous teachers is the school's annual key task. Many leaders are waiting to see the results, but you must not make any mistakes."
Old Zhu: “…”
After thinking about it, I understood.
The principal went to the bureau and came back to overturn the previous result.
Even if you use your butt to think, you will know that there must be a leader who is not satisfied with the selection results.
What should I do if my leader is not satisfied?
Then you must choose again!
The principal spoke from the bottom of his heart: "Originally, this is the work you are in charge of. There have been no mistakes so I am relieved. However, the selection plan this time is indeed not specific enough. Please ask someone to refine it again and try to avoid any problems."
What else could Mr. Zhu say? He could only agree.
I know clearly in my mind that I shouldn't take the blame for this!
But who can blame me for being a deputy? My arms cannot twist my thighs.
After returning to the office, I was still wondering what went wrong.
If a leader is not satisfied, it must be because the person who should have been elected was not selected.
There are only those people in the school, and their backgrounds and relationships are basically clear.
The principal specifically mentioned the preconditions. It must be a provincial key or even a 211 undergraduate normal college with a major in education. Two people had to be eliminated first, and their backgrounds...
Old Zhu was startled and instantly thought of the key.
Su Hongwu originally had no chance, it was Su Hongyan who got the spot from Feng Yu.
Feng Yu also agreed, of course he knew this.
They are relatives, so no one can say anything.
But now the result has been overturned, which is obviously problematic.
“This pot is so heavy!”
Old Zhu felt so miserable. Who was responsible for this sin?
……
Feng Yu didn't come to work today. He took a leave to go to the city to take the second subject exam.
I was supposed to go yesterday, but something happened and I couldn't get away.
This morning Jiang Ning drove her to the city and accompanied her to take the exam.
I arrived at the examination venue at eight o'clock and met up with the people from the driving school.
Then we started queuing up for the test. There were quite a lot of people, and there were probably five or six driving schools scheduled for the morning.
I don’t know when it will be my turn.
Jiang Ning went in, took a look around and came out, sitting in the car waiting.
I went in at nine o'clock and didn't come out until eleven o'clock.
Jiang Ning couldn't wait any longer, so he went in to take a look.
As soon as I arrived at the examination waiting hall, I saw Feng Yu coming out.
With a sad face, it was obvious that the result was not good.
Jiang Ning's heart was beating fast, and he asked, "Did you pass the exam?"
Feng Yu wanted to cry: "Hang up."
