Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 40 Surprise

A week later, the winter sports meeting of Lizhou Elementary School began in a lively atmosphere with colorful flags flying and noisy gongs and drums.

Standing on the rostrum, looking at the neat formations on the playground, Principal Xie Changqing was extremely happy. He did not expect that his school's Winter Sports Games would actually welcome the director of the Municipal Education Bureau to visit in person. This was Xichang's first

Small, something that has never happened before.

This is such a great honor. Xie Changqing's face was flushed with joy, and it seemed that even the wrinkles on his forehead were reduced. He was standing on the rostrum. Although the position was not very good, it did not prevent him from stretching his heart at this time.

While he was feeling complacent, he thought of the big events of the past few days——

At that time, after answering the phone in his office, Leng Binghan looked at the depressed Xie Changqing and said casually: "Uncle Xie, our school's winter sports meeting was so well done. Let me see, we can invite people from the market.

The leader should come and take a look."

Xie Changqing's eyes lit up at that time, but then he sighed: "Of course that's good, but it's not easy. Municipal leaders are so busy, how can they come to a township central school like ours?"

"That's not necessarily the case, everything is possible!" Leng Binghan smiled slyly, and shamelessly stole the advertising slogan of a later brand, and walked away gracefully.

Leng Binghan left, but his words made Xie Changqing feel itchy: What did Leng Binghan mean by that? Could there be anything he could do about it? After all, he is the godson of the mayor, and his status is not ordinary. If he really has the market,

It's okay for the leader to condescend to attend the school's sports meeting. Not to mention his own reputation, even Lizhou Elementary School can be proud of it. Such an achievement will definitely add a lot of color to his resume.

.I have worked hard all my life, and now it’s time to retire. It’s not a waste of time to be able to be in such a limelight.

But is this really possible? Those are city leaders. Not to mention township schools like Lizhou Primary School, even Xichang Primary School cannot enjoy such an honor.

For a time, all kinds of thoughts were spinning around in his mind, making him uneasy. People are often like this. It's easy to cope without expectations, but once they have some expectations, or even extravagant hopes, they will easily become uneasy.

Due to the current situation, I worry about gains and losses.

This made Xie Changqing restless for several days. Every time the phone rang, he always hoped that it would be a notice from his superiors coming to inspect and attend the sports meeting, but he was always disappointed. In the end, as the school sports day approached, he felt a little desperate.

I even started to laugh at myself, how could I take the words of a child to heart? No matter how extraordinary the child's status is and how outstanding his performance is, he is still a child after all. Can a child's words be taken seriously?

On the first day of the school's winter sports meet, Xie Changqing had almost forgotten about it. Suddenly the phone rang. He picked it up half-heartedly, and the cheerful voice of Wang Dinghua, deputy director of the district education committee, came from the other end: "

Lao Xie, you old man is in for a treat now."

Wang Dinghua is a few years younger than Xie Changqing, but his official career is much better than that of Xie Changqing. For decades, Xie Changqing has only been the principal of a township central primary school, without even a subject-level establishment, while Wang Dinghua gave up writing ten years ago

He entered politics. After years of hard work, he is now the deputy director of a district education committee. Although he is still a deputy, far inferior to those with real power, he is still a full-time cadre. The relationship between the two has always been good, and they are somewhat related.

We have a good relationship, so we often communicate with each other and talk to each other very casually.

When he heard that it was Wang Dinghua, Xie Changqing was a little happy, but also a little disappointed. He leaned back and said with a very relaxed expression: "Why, why are you thinking about the bottle of five-year-old Qionglu jade liquid in my room all day long?

local famous wine), I’m still thinking about the sauced donkey meat in your house!”

"Haha!" Wang Dinghua laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "I say you are always picky. You are really so picky. You even ate donkey meat. You ate it last time. Are you still thinking about it? Let me tell you, haha.

There is good news here, but I won’t tell you until I bring you your bottle of Qionglu jade liquid as a treat."

"What good news can you have? Has the funding we applied for been approved or has the salary been raised again? But it seems like you can't control these things, right? Let me tell you, stop trying to cheat my Qionglu Yuye, this

But my son is filial and I am reluctant to drink it myself!" Xie Changqing was quite disapproving.

Wang Dinghua smiled bitterly and said: "Why do you guys only know how to allocate funds and adjust wages all day long? You are all obsessed with money. I think you are not only stingy, but also obsessed with money."

"Besides money, what other good news can there be?" Xie Changqing muttered helplessly. Suddenly, he had an idea and became a little excited. His voice became excited and said, "Is there really a leader coming..."

"Huh?" Wang Dinghua said with some surprise: "Lao Xie, do you know everything? I didn't expect that your information is really well-informed. But according to the regulations, I still have to inform you again: I just received the notice that tomorrow the Municipal Education Bureau

Director Sun will attend the opening ceremony of your school's sports meeting. Secretary Leng of the district committee, District Mayor Xiang Tao, together with the secretary of the town party committee, the mayor and other leaders and members of the education committee will also attend. This is our Lizhou, no, it should be the whole Xichang.

This is a good thing that has never happened before. Director Yu asked me to inform you immediately to make corresponding preparations for the reception. It must be meticulous and high-standard, and there must be no mistakes."

"Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a slap, but I didn't know that you were better informed. It seems that I failed again. Hey, hey, Lao Xie, are you listening? Hey..."

Xie Changqing on the other end of the phone was already stunned. His face was flushed and his whole body was trembling. He could hardly believe his ears. The overjoyed surprise that surged from the bottom of his heart had already completely stopped his thoughts.

At that moment, except for Leng Binghan's smug and cunning smile, he felt that his mind was completely blank. The noise of the world had gone away, and there was no consciousness. Where could he hear what Wang Dinghua was saying behind him?

What.

After a long time, he suddenly woke up. He couldn't restrain the joy in his heart. He laughed loudly and said to Wang Dinghua: "Haha, Dinghua, thank you for the news. I will definitely invite you as a guest. Just that bottle of Qiong."

Lu Yuye, but you have to wait until I finish this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone and hurried out. He knew that Leng Binghan had succeeded. With just a few gestures, he helped himself usher in the most glorious moment in his life. This was just a reward for his kindness to him.

His care. What other unknown things does Leng Binghan have, and what kind of miracles can he create?

His heart was filled with ups and downs, but he didn't care to savor it for the time being. So many leaders came. This was the first time in the history of the school. It was the glory of the whole school. He wanted to share this joy with all the teachers and students of the school immediately, and he had to

Immediately inform the arrangements and make all preparations. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be messed up by any mistakes.

"Thank you, ugh!" Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Wang Dinghua looked at the phone in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and got up to make arrangements. His immediate boss was coming, although the subject was Lizhou Primary School.

, most of the things are done by them, but as the competent authority, they have a lot to prepare for, and they also have to check the school's preparations. If there is a problem in the school, the big deal is that they will not be taken care of in the future, but if something goes wrong here,

Then the official career will have to come to an end early.

With the hurried figure of Xie Changqing, the whole campus began to boil. The cleaning, decoration, and purchasing were all busy, making people jump on their feet. But everyone was very excited. After all, such a big scene may not happen in a lifetime.

It's rare to encounter it once, not to mention, it is the glory of the whole school, everyone has face, so everyone is very motivated.

Early the next morning, Lizhou Primary School was spotless and had a new look. Throughout the campus, colorful flags were flying, and banners were held everywhere. Some welcomed the leaders to inspect, some wished the sports meeting a complete success, and some promoted the competition.

Stylishly, the students were freshly dressed, neatly dressed in old-fashioned sky blue sweatshirts with two white stripes on their arms and legs. They were arranged into squares according to their classes and lined up neatly on the playground. Inside and outside the school gate

Hundreds of students were prepared on both sides, holding flowers, ready to line the streets to welcome the leaders.

Students are a group that Chinese governments at all levels often use to hold welcome ceremonies, not to mention schools that are uniquely endowed.

China's national conditions are like this. The reception must be lively and grand. Maybe the leaders don't see it and don't care, or maybe the leaders emphasize that everything should be simple. But it is not strange to be polite to many people. The people below would rather do it and let the leaders do it.

When criticizing in person, one should not lose etiquette and let the leader feel resentful.

After a long wait, at about 9:30, the leader’s motorcade finally slowly drove into the campus amidst the childish and neat welcomes of the children.

Before the car stopped, Xie Changqing led the school's vice principal and a group of directors to greet Leng Yunyi and Sun Zhengping respectfully as they got out of the car. This is not to say that Xie Changqing was so flattering.

Under the system, when subordinates meet their superiors, they will always feel a little frightened and feel that they are superior to them.

Leng Yunyi and Sun Zhengping seemed to have made an appointment, and they got off the car at almost the same time with a tacit understanding. At that moment, under the guidance of the teacher, all the students in the school uniformly shouted the slogan: "Welcome, welcome".

The sounds blended together and echoed around the campus, still quite impressive.

Although these forms are not very popular, they are still very interesting. Leng Yunyi and Sun Zhengping seemed to be very satisfied, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

After Leng Yunyi and Sun Zhengping got off the bus, other leaders also got off the bus, and surrounded the two leaders according to their respective affiliations.

After Xie Changqing and the school staff greeted them one by one, he guided the leaders to take their seats at the rostrum. At this time, Sun Zhengping paused, waiting for Leng Yunyi to come up, and then they went to the rostrum together, and the others

The leaders all followed them in their own order, not daring to step beyond the boundaries.

Regardless of these small details, it is a major subject in officialdom. If you do something wrong, you may violate taboos and break the rules, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other officials. If you want to continue to develop in your official career, you can

It is said to be even more difficult.

In terms of rank, Sun Zhengping and Leng Yunyi are both on the same level. In fact, the status of a district party secretary who holds a lot of power is not comparable to that of a municipal bureau director. However, generally the top leaders of the municipal bureau with real power do not think highly of the local government.

After all, the top leader is from the Municipal Bureau and is in the city, while the local top leader is in the local area. What's more, the local government still has to be constrained by the Municipal Bureau for some things, such as the allocation of funds, the inspection of various tasks, etc. If

Without a strong backend, the municipal bureau can bring great trouble to local work.

However, the Education Bureau is only average among all municipal bureaus, and cannot compare with core departments such as the ***, Finance Bureau, and Audit Bureau. Moreover, Lizhou District Party Committee Secretary Leng Yunyi is different from top leaders in other places. He is not the same as Mayor Wang Peiyuan.

It has an extremely special relationship, and its weight is completely different from that of others. Therefore, Sun Zhengping can put on airs in front of others, but in front of Leng Yunyi, he still dare not show the slightest disrespect.

As the leaders took their seats, the opening ceremony of the 1985 Winter Games of Liju Primary School officially began.

First, leaders at all levels delivered passionate speeches. The order of these speeches was very difficult for the organizers at the time. Sun Zhengping and Leng Yunyi attended at the same time, so who should speak first and who should come second?

The questions can be arranged side by side in the middle, but as for the speeches, it is impossible for two people to speak at the same time, right? But if it is not arranged well and the second person to speak is dissatisfied, then it will be a big mistake.

Fortunately, Leng Yunyi said hello in advance and would not speak at this meeting, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Leaders' speeches are usually meaningless, smelly and long. Although the winter temperature in Xichang is not too low, it is still a bit unbearable to be outdoors for a long time, especially the children wearing sweatshirts, which have long been freezing.

I must be trembling a little.

Finally, the leaders' speeches are over, and now the student-athlete representatives are speaking.

Of course, the student athlete representative was Leng Binghan. Although Leng Binghan was not unusual for such an opportunity, principal Xie Changqing did not hesitate to appoint him.

Leng Binghan, who was originally very helpless, finally felt the benefit of being a representative, that is, he could speak by himself without having to listen to other people's chatter.

He did not take the manuscript that the teacher had prepared for him, but strode forward. He first quietly glanced at the dense crowd of students below, and then said loudly into the microphone:

Dear leaders, teachers, and classmates: In this beautiful moment full of unity, endeavor, and friendship, we jointly welcome the 1985 Winter Games of Lizhou Primary School in Xichang City. On behalf of all the athletes in the school, I would like to extend my warmest greetings to the holding of this Games.

Congratulations! I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, teachers and students who came to attend the conference!

Developing sportsmanship and promoting team spirit are of great significance to the education industry in cultivating qualified talents in the new century. Here, on behalf of the whole school movement, I would like to express my gratitude to all the leaders and teachers who care about and support the school's sports work and have made hard contributions to the school's sports work.

Express my heartfelt thanks!

This Winter Games is a grand event to increase understanding and strengthen friendship and unity. Here, on behalf of all athletes, I would like to swear an oath: obey the command, obey the referee, unite and forge ahead in the game, compete with style, compete with level, compete with results.

Finally, I wish our city’s first gymnastics competition a complete success!

The entire speech lasted less than three minutes. It was concise and shocking. After he finished speaking, the whole school burst into thunderous applause, which was even more enthusiastic than the applause given by all the leaders when they spoke just now.

Compared with the empty, formal and time-wasting speeches of those leaders, Leng Binghan's speech was so wonderful that it surprised and delighted everyone. Coupled with his prestige in the school, everyone's welcome to him is naturally unmatched by others.

Yes, even for leaders. For children, they are not so afraid of superior leaders, and they don’t understand the official position.

"***, the manuscript you wrote for Leng Binghan is good, very good, very good." Xie Changqing clapped his hands, looked at Leng Binghan happily, and praised the *** hero beside him.

"This -" *** Xiong's face turned red and white for a while. He was very embarrassed, but he didn't know how to tell the principal who was very interested. In fact, what Leng Binghan just said was not at all what he was doing to help him.

Written. However, how could Leng Binghan speak so well? Even though he revised his manuscript several times and worked on it until midnight last night, it was still empty talk and could not be compared with what Leng Binghan just said.

.

Seeing Leng Binghan walking down the podium, Sun Zhengping leaned over and said enviously to Leng Yunyi beside him: "Secretary Yunyi, your son is really amazing. If I have a daughter, I will definitely marry him.

hehe."

Leng Yunyi had heard such words countless times, but he still said cheerfully: "You all praise him too much. Children, you can't praise him enough. The more you praise, the more proud you become." This is what he said, but the pride and pride in his words are.

It cannot be concealed no matter what.

Sun Zhengping shook her head and sighed: "My son is messing around all day long and doesn't read books well. If he can be half as good as Xiaohan, then I will be satisfied."

…

At this time, the two of them were no longer high-ranking officials, but just two ordinary parents, worrying, worrying, happy, and joyful for their children for a lifetime.

What pity the hearts of parents in the world!
