Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 511 Closing of the meeting

As soon as the meal was eaten and the person got to know each other, Li Weidong knew that the matter was a little more stable and a worry was settled.

As a boss, he doesn't have to do everything personally. The rest is done by his subordinates, and he can also spend time with his wife and children.

When they got up early the next morning, Li Weidong, his wife and children went to watch the flag-raising ceremony. Every time he comes to the capital, if he doesn't let his children watch the flag-raising ceremony and feel the thrill when the national anthem is played, it always feels like it was in vain.

In fact, every time Li Weidong comes to the capital, as long as time permits, he will come to experience it and receive patriotic education again. At this moment, his slack heart will always be excited.

There will always be this moment when he feels that the meaning of his life is that in addition to enjoying the convenience brought by money, there is also something called responsibility that needs to be shouldered by him.

The whole family is here today, which is obviously more meaningful than usual. Patriotic education should start from childhood.

For this ceremony, they arrived at the square before six o'clock, but by this time the square was already crowded. Ding Yuan and several other bodyguards watched vigilantly around Li Weidong.

The crowd around was quiet, most of them were tourists from various places visiting the capital, and a small number were participants like Li Weidong who came to attend this meeting.

At 6:31, the national flag was slowly raised, the national anthem was played, and the crowd in the square sang along in a low voice. Although there was no live band accompaniment, the entire flag-raising ceremony was still solemn.

After the flag-raising was over, the crowd began to disperse. Li Weidong could vaguely see undried tears in the corners of the eyes of some old comrades. These are all people with stories!

Li Weidong did not go back to the hotel directly, but took his wife and children to have an authentic Beijing breakfast, a breakfast at a street stall. Since the children are allowed to experience life, it must be both sunny and snowy, and there must be people from the lower reaches of the country.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock. As soon as Li Weidong got off the car, he saw Lu Yang walking quickly from the hotel lobby and waving to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong also noticed Lu Yang at the same time, as well as a man in his fifties wearing glasses who followed him, and Li Weidong's work secretary Chen Jun also followed behind.

Lu Yang walked closer and said with some complaints: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and no one answered your cell phone calls. Later, Secretary Chen came out and met us and told us that you had gone to watch the flag raising!"

They came to Li Weidong's hotel early in the morning. They were worried that it would be too early to disturb Li Weidong's rest, so they did not call in advance. Unexpectedly, no one answered Li Weidong's mobile phone when they arrived at the hotel.

Just as he was about to call Liu Jinhui, he met Chen Jun and found out that Li Weidong's family had gone to watch the flag raising. Of course, he was also wondering why the secretary didn't follow.

Naturally, Lu Yang didn't know that Chen Jun was just Li Weidong's temporary secretary and work secretary. According to Li Weidong's wishes, the secretary was to handle the company's affairs, not to do odd jobs for him.

Knowing that Li Weidong was going to watch the flag-raising, Lu Yang wanted to call and talk, but the principal who was traveling with him said that the flag-raising ceremony was over now and he would be back soon. Don't be so anxious. Just wait here. Who knows?

The wait is one hour.

Chen Jun advised them to go up and wait. Lu Yang looked at the principal as if he wanted to express his sincerity and willingness to wait in the hall. Lu Yang was naturally willing to fulfill the leader's wishes and obey the leadership's arrangements.

Lu Yang told Chen Jun not to report to Li Weidong or to worry about them, but to do whatever he needed to do.

But no matter how stupid Chen Jun is, he knows that this is the boss's classmate, a very close classmate. If he really doesn't care about it, he really doesn't have to do it.

Of course, he was a little hesitant when he was asked to call Li Weidong to talk about it.

Although a visit from an old classmate and the principal of his alma mater was a big deal in Chen Jun's eyes, in Li Weidong's eyes he was a little hesitant.

Since they were not in a hurry, and he could see what the two of them meant, and the longer they waited, the more sincerity they would have, so he had no choice but to follow their wishes and stay with them, and no one could pick them out.

Lu Yang saw Li Weidong looking behind him, slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "Look, I almost forgot about the business. Let me introduce to you. This is Principal Li of our school!"

Principal Li's name is Li Liping. He is in his fifties, tall and thin, with a few strands of hair falling on his forehead. He wears a pair of deep myopia glasses. He does not look like a principal, but looks like a erudite scholar.

Or he should be a scholar-type principal who also supervises several doctoral students. It's just that this principal came to the Kyung Seong University of Science and Technology after Li Weidong graduated.

If you say that Li Weidong doesn't know him, that's not entirely true. Although he has graduated, he pays a lot of attention to his alma mater. At least he knows about major events like changing the principal, and his secretary will also intentionally report such things to him.

It's not necessarily that they are familiar with each other. They just know the name. When the appointment was made, Li Weidong would definitely pay attention to it. He might even know the resume at the time, but it took too long and he naturally forgot about it.

There is not yet a perfect Baidu, and we have not yet reached the point where we can ask Google for external affairs and Baidu for internal affairs, and we do not have the convenience of being able to query these things at any time.

Now is not the time to think about these things. Li Weidong quickly stretched out his hand to shake Principal Li's hand and said politely and apologetically: "Hello Principal Li, I'm sorry. I forgot to bring my mobile phone when I went out. I kept you waiting for a long time. I'm sorry!"

Li Liping and Li Weidong shook hands and said cordially: "Dr. Li, what you said is serious. We are uninvited guests and have taken the liberty to come and disturb you. You don't know about it yourself. How can you blame us? Even if it is the fault, it should be us."

!”

Li Weidong hurriedly said humbly: "Principal Li, don't be rude to me, just call me Weidong. You are the mountain leader, I am your student, you are the teacher, and you are an honored guest. How can an honored guest be an uninvited guest?"

?”

These old academics pay the most attention to tradition, respect their teachers, and want to be famous all over the world. Although they are not Li Weidong's teachers, they can still be regarded as half of them. He is now the president of Beijing University of Technology, so it is natural to mention it.

glory.

Li Liping listened to Li Weidong's words and saw Li Weidong's attitude. He was very satisfied. He hadn't forgotten his roots yet, so he said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite, I will call you Weidong!"

Li Weidong said quickly: "It should be, it should be. You shout smoothly and I will listen to the ironing. Principal Li is not the place to talk here. How about we go upstairs to talk?"

Li Liping immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, let's go in and talk!"

Then while walking inside, he said: "Last night, I heard Xiao Lu say that you were going to provide such great help to the junior students. I couldn't calm down for a long time. If Xiao Lu hadn't stopped me, I would have considered it was too late.

For disturbing your rest, I was going to come yesterday to thank you in person!"

Li Liping is telling the truth. The nature of Beijing University of Science and Technology determines that most outstanding graduates will go to work in military units, and people who work in such units usually end up in one position.

Even if you were able to resign and go to work later, it would be difficult to start a business due to confidentiality reasons. It is destined that there will not be too many private entrepreneurs in Beijing Institute of Technology, and alumni donations will naturally not be large. If there is a donation, the principal will naturally be happy.

Li Weidong hurriedly said humbly: "Principal Li, you are very grateful. I just tried my best to do my best. It is nothing, and I cannot deserve the word thank you!"

Principal Li shook his head and said solemnly: "You can't say that, and you can't settle the accounts like this. It is a great merit to benefit the students and allow them to study with peace of mind!"

Li Weidong continued to say humbly: "Principal, please don't say that. As long as they can study with peace of mind, I will be willing to pay this little money!"

At this time, the elevator came, and several people walked in one after another. Li Liping only focused on talking to Li Weidong, looking at Li Weidong, and naturally ignored the people around him.

Only then did he see Liu Jinhui and their two children. He looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Liu, he is really a woman!"

Li Liping probably had a lot of work to do before he came. Even Liu Jinhui knew about it. Although Liu Jinhui was somewhat famous, it was not enough for the principal of a prestigious university to know about him!

"Hello, Principal Li, just call me Xiao Liu. I don't deserve your compliment!" Liu Jinhui said politely.

Li Liping said with a smile: "I am not complimenting you. Due to our traditional culture, lesbians are not allowed to do business, and it is even more difficult for female entrepreneurs. You are a role model for female compatriots!"

As long as a person is willing to listen to nice words and be praised and praised by others, Liu Jinhui is naturally not exempt from this custom. Li Liping's few words have brought the relationship between the two parties closer. Naturally, the little negligence just now is not a rude thing.

Then he said a few words of praise for the children, which made Li Weidong and his wife smile from ear to ear with joy. Praising children and spouses is definitely the only way to close the relationship, and it is also the way to solve the problem!

After entering the room, Chen Jun poured tea for Li Weidong and the two guests, then slowly turned around and walked to the rest area next to him, always paying attention to the situation on Li Weidong's side!

Li Weidong asked the two of them to sit down, and then said: "Principal Li, it is a bit sinful to ask you to make a trip about this matter. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to contact the school as soon as possible. Of course, I also hope that the school will have an accurate contact person."

, and it will also facilitate future work!”

Now that Li Liping and Lu Yang have come to visit, it shows that the school attaches great importance to this matter. Li Weidong also gets straight to the point and talks about business without saying too many polite words.

Li Liping also simply said: "Weidong, don't worry, we will definitely choose a suitable candidate!"

After pausing for a moment and glancing at Lu Yang, Li Liping continued: "Teacher Wang Ning in our school is responsible for student work. She understands the students' situation after all. She is usually hard-working, careful and responsible in her work. I think she is more suitable!"

When Li Weidong heard Li Liping say Wang Ning's name, he glanced at Lu Yang, but Lu Yang looked stunned, and it seemed that he was unaware.

Although Li Liping's choice was beyond Li Weidong's expectations, there was no need for Li Weidong to tell lies that seemed to be selfless or act like justice.

Yu Gong, Wang Ning is responsible for student affairs in the school, so it is suitable for her to do this job; Yu Private, she is the wife of his classmate Lu Yang, the daughter of a teacher, and they know each other well.

Therefore, there is no problem in public or private affairs, so Li Weidong naturally has no intention of being hypocritical.

Li Weidong nodded and said: "The person you recommend must be good. I will have someone contact Teacher Wang directly!"

Lu Yang opened his mouth next to him, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just glanced at Li Weidong gratefully. Although being the contact person would not result in a promotion or salary increase, for Wang Ning, it was a chance to show off his performance ability.

opportunity.

Li Liping nodded and said: "That's it. There's another thing. This donation has broken the domestic alumni donation record to universities in one year alone. It has been ten consecutive years. The amount of donations has been extremely large, so the school

We plan to hold a grand donation ceremony. No matter what, you have to attend and give a report to all the teachers and students in the school to inspire the students' learning morale. The specific date depends on your arrangements!"

As soon as Li Weidong heard this, he knew that Li Liping knew him well and knew that he was unwilling to participate in such an event. He even let Li Weidong arrange the time himself!

Li Liping knew that Li Weidong was not enthusiastic about this kind of thing. Even though he donated several scholarships and grants to his alma mater, Li Weidong did not even show his face and only asked Liang Wenhui to attend in the name of the chairman of the education fund.

Li Weidong pondered for a while, then nodded and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you decide the time. I will definitely attend on time, but I won't give a speech. I don't dare to stain the school gate with the smell of copper all over my body!"

Li Weidong used to be low-key, and he will probably keep a low-key in the future, but keeping a low profile is not consistent with the actual situation. An excellent entrepreneur should donate to society, and school is only his first step.

Li Liping shook his head and said: "No, no, no, as long as you find a position that suits you, whatever you do will contribute to social progress. Schools must cultivate talents in various aspects!"

After a pause, Li Liping continued: "Look at our school, we have outstanding scholars who have reached senior leadership positions, as well as academicians from the two academies who have made significant contributions in the field of professional scientific research and engineering. Naturally, there are also some who have made great contributions in economic construction.

Excellent entrepreneurs who make contributions!”

Li Weidong quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Principal, please stop talking. If you say anything else, I will float to the sky. Can this be the same thing? Can it be compared? I will let you arrange the head office!"

Li Liping said with a smile: "That's right. If society wants to progress, certain inherent perceptions must be broken. I'm not an old timer. I can still clearly distinguish what is beneficial to social development!"

When Li Weidong heard this, he nodded secretly. This is a reformist. It seems that this old scholar not only values ​​tradition, but can also accept new things!

After these few things were confirmed, Li Liping felt relieved. He chatted with Li Weidong for a while, then said goodbye and left.

After two days of reunion with his wife and children, it was time for Li Weidong to temporarily separate. However, Li Weidong's meeting in the capital also came to an end.

After half a month, this conference with participants from all over the country and from all walks of life ushered in the closing ceremony.

In his speech at the closing ceremony, leaders stated that we must adhere to the general economic policy of expanding domestic demand, vigorously promoting strategic economic adjustment, continuing to advance reform, and expanding opening up to the outside world.

We must seize opportunities, forge ahead, strengthen our confidence, and work together to achieve greater victory in the new century.

Finally, the meeting ended successfully with warm applause and high-spirited music, and the participants began to exit in an orderly manner with a little nostalgia.

Li Weidong also walked out with the crowd. As soon as he met Ding Yuan at the entrance of the auditorium, his personal mobile phone rang in his bag.
