Chen Weidao sat aside and watched Wu Shujun gulp down his meal. A trace of relief appeared on his old face, which was worn out by the ambition he had never been able to realize. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it slowly, and said:
"Official life is not like being in school. You will face a real life-and-death struggle. The urban investment company is just your starting point. In Yuguan, I just hope that your hands will be used to do things, your eyes will be used to see people, and you will keep your mouth shut. The investment company is still a piece of fat in the eyes of others, but Jin Xuelai has bet all his political future on this small urban investment company. No matter who puts his idea into the urban investment company, he will receive the most severe blow from Jin Xuelai .”
"You mean, let me assist Jin Xuelai now?"
Wu Shujun swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.
"No, you don't want to assist him, but you want to make the urban investment company your entire center. Although the urban investment company is now bound to Jin Xuelai, whether your purpose is the urban investment company or Jin Xuelai is completely different. Two concepts, when you can remove the imprint of Jin Xuelai from the urban investment company and turn it into an urban investment company with you as the leader, then you have made a good move in Yuguan District. By then, even if Even Jin Xue Lai can’t get rid of your influence.”
Wu Shujun nodded. Although he still didn't understand why the teacher attached so much importance to a newly established urban investment company, he had never violated the teacher's will and decided to follow the teacher's instructions.
However, if you follow the teacher's instructions, there will still be some problems that are difficult to solve. After a moment of hesitation, you still asked:
"But what about School Zhou?"
On the surface, the cooperation between Gucheng University and Jin Xuelai has no benefits at all, but the school is willing to send a professor and the director of the college office to lead a team to help build the framework of the urban investment company and help green farmers come back to life. This is not a good deed. Promote style.
On the one hand, Gucheng University hopes to successfully operate this project and further expand the influence of the school’s business school. On the other hand, it hopes to influence the urban investment company through the dispatched team. Through this influence, the profit of green farmers will be used as the carrier. , to provide funds to the school in disguise, and even more enterprises under the control of the urban investment company in the future, these funds will flow into Gucheng University in the name of various social donations.
Therefore, Quan Zhendong previously speculated that once the urban investment company has problems, he will focus on high-quality companies and annex high-quality companies through various means. In fact, there is no need for the urban investment company to have problems. Once the time is right, the Gucheng University faction It will start to promote this behavior in disguise.
Jin Xuelai also thought about this issue when he decided to cooperate with Gucheng University, so he sent a full-time deputy district chief to serve as the general manager, and retained Jiang Youfang as insurance, but it is hard to say whether it will have any effect.
And if Wu Shujun follows Chen Weidao's instructions, he will need the urban investment company to develop healthily and sustainably, and he will not be able to do that kind of thing of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs. Although he will be transferred to the urban investment company now, his human resources relations are still at Gucheng University. In this way, it would be difficult for him to explain to the school, and he would even have a direct conflict with the professor at the urban investment company.
"Since I left the school, Zhou Mingyun has felt that without my suppression, his true nature has become more and more exposed, and he has become snobbish and realistic, but it is not his fault. Since he took over the school, in addition to changing its name under my urging, Apart from Gucheng University, there is no development.”
"If a school wants to develop and produce results, it needs money, scientific research funds, and construction funds. However, the school's ranking is very embarrassing regardless of its educational status or academic status. This has also led to the ranking of various funding sources. If you want money, you can He has to rely on himself to beg for alms, and it’s hard for him.”
Chen Weidao thought for a while and said:
"Let's do this. Don't go back today. Stay here for one night. I'll have a talk with him tomorrow and you can join us."
Wu Shujun nodded.
Wu Shujun has a very close relationship with Chen Weidao's family, and he also has a room here. After eating, he helped Ruan Xingfang pack the dishes and went back to his room to rest.
Chen Weidao was still sitting in the study, smoking a cigarette and thinking about something, until a hand reached over, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and put it out in the ashtray.
"As you get older, smoke less."
Seeing his old wife taking away his cigarettes, Chen Weidao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't dare not listen to his wife's words.
Chen Weidao and Ruan Xingfang met when they were young. At that time, Chen Weidao, who was only 18 years old, was just a poor boy who graduated from high school and was worthless. Because he had no money to go to college, he worked as a helper in Ruan Xingfang's family's grain and oil store to earn money for tuition.
At that time, Ruan Xingfang's family was in good condition and she had no financial worries. Because her family had traditional values and believed that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue, she loved reading and had a great yearning for knowledge. When she first saw Chen Weidao, she I was deeply attracted by the bookish young man in front of me.
While working for Chen Weidao, Ruan Xingfang often discussed knowledge with Chen Weidao. After going back and forth, the two fell in love and made a private commitment for life. Under Ruan Xingfang's deliberate care, Chen Weidao saved enough tuition and went to the capital to continue his studies. They were separated for six years. Ruan Xingfang had been waiting for Chen Weidao at home despite the pressure from her family to get married.
After Chen Weidao graduated, he was delayed for two more years due to work assignment issues. After six years of separation from Ruan Xingfang, he was finally assigned to be a liaison officer in a small town in Yuguan County at that time. He reunited with Ruan Xingfang again, and their marriage did not end. Some of Chen Shimei’s stories are only about the perfection of waiting and staying together.
After marrying Ruan Xingfang, Chen Weidao's life entered the fast lane. From a small liaison officer to the secretary of the ancient city party committee at the age of less than forty, Chen Weidao broke the promotion record in the history of the ancient city. Some people speculate that Chen Weidao will be in his forties. Before becoming a ministerial leader or even a more important leadership position.
The smoothness of life and the happiness of his family made Chen Weidao, who had been cautious for decades, relax a little. Through negligence, someone took advantage of him and was involved in a corruption case at that time. Chen Weidao stayed in prison for several years. Although he was eventually rehabilitated and released, Chen Weidao's career ended long ago when he was involved in the case. Moreover, his full-time secretary at the time, Wu Shujun's father, was unwilling to identify Chen Weidao. He could not bear the torture and committed suicide in prison.
He was said to be a secretary. After many years of getting along with him, Chen Weidao also regarded this secretary as his best friend. His friend committed suicide because of his involvement and the end of his official career. The two became the pain of Chen Weidao's life. He was completely silent. At that time, he felt guilty. With the help of the old leader, he entered the Gucheng Normal College at that time.
Either because he had no hope of an official career and wanted to realize his political ambitions in Wu Shujun, or because he wanted to make up for his old friend who would rather commit suicide than identify himself, Chen Weidao began to train Wu Shujun with all his strength and regard him as his successor. .
While Chen Weidao was being arrested and imprisoned, his wife Ruan Xingfang had been silently believing in her husband, silently waiting for her husband, running around outside, using all the connections at her disposal to reverse the case for her husband. The hard work paid off, and Chen Weidao was finally cleared. She was freed from the injustice, but Ruan Xingfang also suffered from illnesses due to overwork and overwork.
Anyone who knows this old couple and knows everything about Chen Weidao will praise the deep love between husband and wife. Therefore, Chen Weidao has always respected his wife very much, so in the face of his wife's control, he can only be obedient even if he feels uncomfortable. obedient.
"Do you really want Shujun to go to Yuguan?"
Although Ruan Xingfang has no academic qualifications, she likes to learn, is smart, and her education is not low. After following Chen Weidao for so many years, she also pays some attention to and understands the political situation:
"I think this Yuguan District is not a good place. There are too many things going on. Jin Xuelai is also very cruel. He never leaves any room for himself or others."
"He's thirty-six, and it's time to face hardships and dangers. Ever since his father passed away, he has been under my wing. He is not willing to give in, and neither am I. Do you want him to stay in school cowardly all his life? , will you be able to live your whole life as a dean in the end?”
Chen Weidao sighed:
"When the child is older, I have to let him venture out on his own. While I'm still alive, I can still protect him. I've seen that although the Yuguan District is dangerous, nothing big will happen."
"There's nothing wrong with being a dean. It's a blessing to have a peaceful life. Even if you get to the department, bureau level, provincial or ministerial level, and something happens, it won't be all in vain in the end."
Suddenly realizing that she seemed to have mentioned her old man's sadness, Ruan Xingfang changed the topic:
"Bocheng called me yesterday and told me that the weather was getting cold. He asked us to keep warm. He also bought us two pieces of clothes. The express delivery will arrive in two days. In fact, my son is also thinking of you, but he just can't get around it. That hurdle in my heart and my temper are as stubborn as yours. Anyway, you have nothing to do now. If he doesn’t come, just go over and see him.”
"I am his father, and he still wants me to visit him. What are you talking about?"
Chen Weidao was a little unhappy, but when he talked about his only son, he became very sad for a moment. The father and son had not even seen each other for three years. The only time they spoke was on the phone more than a year ago, without calling him. His father just bluntly informed him that he was getting married, and also sent him a wedding photo, which he secretly printed out and kept hidden in one of his favorite books.
"rest early."
Chen Weidao stood up and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back. When he was almost at the door, he stopped, turned his head slightly and said:
"Weiyi will have a baby soon. Look back at how much money we have saved and transfer it to us. Raising a baby costs a lot of money."
After saying that, regardless of whether Ruan Xingfang heard clearly or not, he left quickly.
"This old man."
Ruan Xingfang shook her head, put away the ashtray with cigarette butts remaining, and turned off the light in the study.
