Chapter 13 Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

1.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Yan went to Song Xiuwen's house to convey Zhao Zhiqiang's message.

Song Xiuwen received a notice that Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to talk to him alone, and he was surprised and happy. After the two politely sent Tan Yan away, they immediately went to the bedroom to discuss countermeasures.

Song Xiuwen and his wife Ji Hua are classmates in the Huxian Normal Civilian Teacher Class. Since both of them were admitted to the normal school from private teachers, the two of them were already older young people when they fell in love, so Ji Hua married Song Xiuwen as soon as the teacher graduated. After getting married, Ji Hua was transferred to Hushan Town with Song Xiuwen and has been serving as the principal of Hushan Town Central Kindergarten. After Liu Wenhua was transferred to the director of the Education Commission, relying on the relationship between Song Xiuwen and Liu Wenhua's fellow villagers, Ji Hua gave Liu Wenhua a generous gift, and asked Liu Wenhua to run through the relationship between the main leaders of the town government and concurrently serve as the principal of preschool education in Hushan Town.

The principal of preschool education is under the leadership of the town education committee, and has jurisdiction over kindergartens in more than 40 natural villages in the town. Therefore, Song Xiuwen and Ji Hua have always been grateful to Liu Wenhua, and the two of them have contributed to Liu Wenhua over the years, and they have also benefited a lot.

Zhao Zhiqiang succeeded Liu Wenhua to Hushan Middle School to take over as the principal, at first the two of them did not take Zhao Zhiqiang in their eyes, and the principal of the middle school still had to obey the leadership of the director of the Education Commission, so he still wholeheartedly obeyed Liu Wenhua's dispatch and command. Now that Liu Wenhua has been transferred and Zhao Zhiqiang has taken over as the director of the town education committee, the two of them feel that something is wrong. In the past two days, the two of them were also worried, and the two of them got together to discuss countermeasures, and they were no better than Feng Shu.

Early this morning, Song Xiuwen asked his wife Ji Hua to take something to Zhao Zhiqiang's house to find out. Ji Hua went home and said that he didn't see Zhao Zhiqiang, but Tan Yan's attitude was very affectionate and he didn't see anything unusual.

Song Xiuwen was worried about the whole day, for fear that Tan Yan would send back the things she sent. If something comes back, then it's a bit of a hanging. If something stays, it means that Zhao Zhiqiang has opened a gap there, and there will be a turnaround and hope for things. Just now, Song Xiuwen saw Tan Yan enter the door empty-handed, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and heard that Zhao Zhiqiang was going to talk to him alone, Song Xiuwen was excited and apprehensive in his heart.

discussed until dinner time, but Song Xiuwen and Ji Hua couldn't discuss a complete countermeasure. Seeing that it was getting dark, afraid that Zhao Zhiqiang would be anxious waiting in the office, Song Xiuwen had no choice but to go out hard.

2.

Zhao Zhiqiang came to the office after dinner, made himself a cup of tea, and leaned his head back in the chair in contemplation.

According to the documents of the Huxian County Education Bureau, the town education committee shall govern the town's secondary schools, primary schools, preschool education, vocational education, adult education and other departments, referred to as "one committee under the jurisdiction of five education".

However, the educational development of the "five educations" in townships and towns is very uneven, and there is only one principal and one teacher who is also a bookkeeper in each department of vocational education and adult education in Hushan Township, and there are no classrooms or activity venues, let alone students. Although there is an office for vocational education and a vocational education, it is a temporary secondary school house. The town government also has no funds to invest, so it allocates a small amount of activity funds from the town finance every semester to temporarily create some materials and set up flower shelves to cope with the inspections of the higher departments. Therefore, adult education and vocational education are basically in vain.

Therefore, Zhao Zhiqiang, the director of the Education Commission, can only show his skills in middle schools, primary schools and preschool education.

In Hushan Town, Zhao Zhiqiang is the director of the Education Commission, and theoretically he can transfer the position of principal of the "five educations" at will. But Zhao Zhiqiang knows that those who can get the position of principal of the "Five Religions" will not be very simple people. These people are generally untouchable, and if they don't do it well, they will involve a big person who they can't afford to mess with. In addition, in accordance with the principle of dual management of education, the transfer, appointment and dismissal of the principals of the "five educations" can only be implemented after they are approved by the local government. Zhao Zhiqiang is a foreigner, but most of the primary school principals and middle-level leaders of middle schools are locals of Hushan Town, and they are inextricably linked with the people in the town government compound. In the case of not knowing each other and confidant, Zhao Zhiqiang really didn't dare to act rashly. Some things will affect the whole body if they are not done well, and Zhao Zhiqiang doesn't want to cause trouble for himself for the time being.

Preschool principal Ji Hua can't move, what about Song Xiuwen?

It is said that Hushan Middle School should be Zhao Zhiqiang's back garden, he has ruled Hushan Middle School for two years, except for Feng Shu and Song Xiuwen, the two thorns, other middle-level leaders and teachers are also obedient, tolerate each other, and they are safe. After drinking the wine at noon, Zhao Zhiqiang had already decided not to move Feng Shu for the time being. The rest is Song Xiuwen, but Ji Hua also sent something in the morning, and Zhao Zhiqiang hasn't figured out who the person behind Ji Hua is. It seems that this Song Xiuwen can't move for the time being. However, even if he can't move, Zhao Zhiqiang doesn't want to let go of these guys who are fake and mighty, there should always be a knock on the mountain and a tiger.

When Zhao Zhiqiang was thinking urgently in his heart, Song Xiuwen's fat and greasy fat face appeared in front of the office of the director of the Education Commission.

3.

"Director Song is here, have you eaten?" Zhao Zhiqiang looked up and saw Song Xiuwen's big fat face, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Come in and sit." ”

Seeing Zhao Zhiqiang get up to greet him, Song Xiuwen was greatly moved. Although Song Xiuwen is a few years older than Zhao Zhiqiang, his official position is younger than Zhao Zhiqiang. There is no difference in age in officialdom, only the size of the official position. Zhao Zhiqiang's move made it difficult for Song Xiuwen not to be moved.

"Director Zhao is polite, I've kept you waiting. Song Xiuwen was in a good mood, took two steps with a smile, and stood still facing Zhao Zhiqiang.

The two of them humbly sat on the sofa with each other, Zhao Zhiqiang handed Song Xiuwen a cigarette, Song Xiuwen took it with both hands and looked at it and said, "Hey, Director Zhao smokes 'Taishan', this is a good cigarette, twenty yuan a box." Hehe. ”

"Someone else sent it. Zhao Zhiqiang said lightly, and lit a cigarette on Song Xiuwen's lighter. Taking a puff and spitting out a smoke ring, Zhao Zhiqiang looked at Song Xiuwen, who was sitting opposite.

"Director Song, it's not a big deal to come to you today, I just want to ask you about your next plan for logistics work, and you can take the time to show me the flow account and cash account of the logistics small treasury. Zhao Zhiqiang said while looking at Song Xiuwen's expression.

Hearing that Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to check the flow and cash account of the small treasury, Song Xiuwen's heart chuckled suddenly, and he hurriedly muttered to himself: Isn't it that Zhao Zhiqiang knows about my private sale of scrap products, and wants to take the opportunity to beat me? No, when I sell scrap, I was looking for a time when everyone was taking a nap at noon, and no one saw it at all, and he only told Liu Wenhua and Feng Shu. It must be Feng Shu, this bastard, who ate me and drank me, and now he sells me again, damn it! Song Xiuwen cursed Feng Shu viciously in his heart.

"Director Zhao, I haven't had time to think about this, this logistics work yet, it's still too early to leave the school time. Song Xiuwen snorted, still thinking about the small treasury urgently.

"'Soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved', Director Song has been in charge of logistics work for so many years, this truth will not be understood!" Zhao Zhiqiang stared at Song Xiuwen, "It stands to reason that before students start school for a week, logistics should check all the classroom desks and chairs, students' beds, doors and windows, school water and electricity, etc., and repair and replace what should be repaired." Director Song has no plans so far, what should I do if the school starts and things are delayed? Who should bear this responsibility?"

Zhao Zhiqiang's tone of voice suddenly became stern, and Song Xiuwen's heart became more and more nervous, and sweat seeped out of his forehead.

"This, Director Zhao, rest assured, I will go back tonight to make a plan, and send it to you for approval tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will organize the logistics staff to start working on it. Song Xiuwen wiped a handful of sweat and said to Zhao Zhiqiang with a shy face.

"What's the matter? Director Song feels a little hot? Hehe!" Looking at Song Xiuwen's cramped expression and nervous appearance, Zhao Zhiqiang felt great satisfaction in his heart.

"Yes, it's a little hot, the dog days have passed, and it's still like this..." Song Xiuwen hurriedly picked up a magazine from the coffee table and fanned it a few times, hiding her nervousness and uneasiness.

"Really?" Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, and then asked, "What about the logistics small treasury?"

Song Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly continued: "In this way, Director Zhao, I will put the accounts in order tomorrow and show them to you." I can't understand the mess now, it's just, it's just..."

"Just what?" Zhao Zhiqiang looked at Song Xiuwen's stumbling appearance and asked.

"There's just one thing, I've been wanting to report to you, but I haven't had time yet..." Song Xiuwen had already made up his mind to tell the matter of selling scrap products, he was afraid that if it was really Feng Shu who told Zhao Zhiqiang the truth, Zhao Zhiqiang would definitely attack him. Now it's a big deal to lose a little bit for the time being, and then slowly make up for it later, so that Qingshan doesn't have to worry about running out of firewood.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhiqiang was also shocked, could it be that Song Xiuwen did something bad behind his back?

"That's right," Song Xiuwen explained in a hesitant manner, "I sold some of the waste products in the logistics warehouse during the holiday, and I sold them for a total of nine hundred and twenty yuan, and I haven't had time to report to you yet." ”

When Zhao Zhiqiang heard that something was really wrong, his heart sank. This Song Xiuwen is really a little lawless, and as the head of a school, he doesn't even know about such a big thing? Song Xiuwen is greedy for ink behind his back, how much money is in the school? This time it is close to 1,000 yuan, at least the top of his Song Xiuwen's salary for three months!

Although, Zhao Zhiqiang also knows that the school logistics is a special department, which manages the materials of the whole school, has power and oil, and the school's supervision of logistics is very loose. This is because of the particularity of logistics work, which requires going out to buy materials and overhauling school facilities at any time, so it is impossible to roll call, sign in, and sit in class like front-line teachers. In addition, the general logistics director, accountant, and bookkeeper are all the principal's henchmen, and there is no need to deliberately supervise.

However, Song Xiuwen is not his own person! It seems that it is wrong for him to follow Liu Wenhua's practice and indulge the logistics personnel, and Song Xiuwen has not known how much benefit he has lost from logistics in the past two years. Don't look at Song Xiuwen's smiling face to herself on weekdays, I didn't expect to do such a big thing behind my back.

"Really?" Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, stared at Song Xiuwen and said, "Has the money already made Director Song drink?"

As soon as Zhao Zhiqiang's words were finished, Song Xiuwen's frightened sweat flowed out again, thinking that Zhao Zhiqiang really knew that he used the money from selling scrap products to drink with Liu Wenhua and Feng Shu.

"No, no..." Song Xiuwen looked at Zhao Zhiqiang and waved his hand again and again, "Director Zhao, I haven't touched any of the money, it's all locked in the logistics safe." I, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. ”

"Bring it to me, what do you mean?" Zhao Zhiqiang heard Song Xiuwen say this, and immediately asked.

"It's not interesting," Song Xiuwen hurriedly defended, "It's just...••I think this money should be placed in the principal's office, as the daily working capital of the principal's office, isn't it more convenient to buy office supplies or something in the principal's office..."

Hearing Song Xiuwen say this, Zhao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and didn't say anything more, thinking to himself, Song Xiuwen, this kid is also quite sensible.

Zhao Zhiqiang threw Song Xiuwen another cigarette and said with a smile: "Director Song, smoke a cigarette, look at your hot one." We're about the same fat and thin, aren't we? I'm more heat-resistant than you. ”

Song Xiuwen saw that Zhao Zhiqiang was joking, and he was relieved.

"How dare I compare with Director Zhao, you are so young, I am fat, I am old, I can't do it. Song Xiuwen made a joke of herself, and praised Zhao Zhiqiang by the way.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled silently and smoked quietly.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dreary for a while.

"Director Zhao, if it's okay, I'll leave first, and I'll bring the materials over to you tomorrow. Looking at the situation, Song Xiuwen knew that she should go back.

"It's okay, Director Song will go home first, and I will also write some materials, so I won't send it to you. Zhao Zhiqiang saw that Song Xiuwen was still very interested, so he didn't keep it.

Bidding farewell to Zhao Zhiqiang, Song Xiuwen turned around and walked out of the Education Commission Office.

4.

It's already dark outside.

The pitch-black sky is covered with a little shining starlight, which is particularly dazzling.

A crescent moon hung diagonally in the air, and the faint moonlight shrouded the surroundings like a light veil, and there was a hazy patch everywhere.

The night breeze blew slowly, and it was exceptionally fresh and cool, and the unknown insects hiding in the grass began to chirp uncontrollably; the trees of the tung trees, which had been screaming at the top of their throats for a day, did not admit defeat and were still "squeaking"; and a few fireflies flew out mischievously with small lanterns, flashing slightly on the trees, which was particularly eye-catching.

The teachers of the family home had already had dinner and gathered in twos and threes under the dim street lamps to play chess, cards, chat, and enjoy the shade.

Song Xiuwen walked through the pile of people enjoying the coolness, with a shy stomach and hands behind his back, pretending to be proud and satisfied.

A teacher in the crowd greeted Song Xiuwen: "Director Song, what are you busy doing so late?"

"Has Director Song eaten it?"

"Director Song, come over and play cards together?"

••••••

Song Xiuwen smiled and nodded to the greeting person, hummed in response, and slowly paced the square steps, passing through the crowd in the shade, leaving an unfathomable back for the teachers.

Feng Shu also took advantage of the crowd, looking at Song Xiuwen's arrogant and complacent look, he felt as if he had been pulled by something.

Aiming at Song Xiuwen's back, Feng Shu spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

5.

Early in the morning of August 14th.

Song Xiuwen didn't bother to wash his face after getting up, so he went to Zhao Zhiqiang's house with the work arrangement of the school's general affairs office before the start of the summer school and 920 yuan written overtime last night.

Zhao Zhiqiang also just got up, and he felt very comfortable when he saw Song Xiuwen coming to report to work so early.

Song Xiuwen entered the living room of Zhao Zhiqiang's house, took out the work plan and handed it to Zhao Zhiqiang. Zhao Zhiqiang took it and looked at it, but didn't speak for a long time. Song Xiuwen looked at Zhao Zhiqiang with apprehension.

"Director Song, the plan is still well written, very detailed," Zhao Zhiqiang patted the plan in his hand, "Don't forget to add the school building safety inspection, and at the same time make a record of each safety inspection." Student safety is a big deal, and if something goes wrong, no one can get rid of the responsibility once it is investigated. ”

Song Xiuwen nodded submissively as she jotted it down on a piece of paper.

Zhao Zhiqiang was very satisfied with Song Xiuwen's obedient attitude, and continued: "You tell the logistics staff, the work of the past few days is considered overtime, and overtime pay will be paid together after the end." In addition, every penny of logistics purchase materials in the future must be reported to me in advance, and when you go out to buy materials, there must be two people, and one person must participate in the accounting or bookkeeper. ”

Listening to Zhao Zhiqiang's instructions, Song Xiuwen knew that Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to plug the loophole in the logistics of purchasing materials, and the two of them would be shopping together, and it would be impossible to operate the matter of opening or increasing the amount of **. Alas, this Zhao Zhiqiang is ruthless enough! Song Xiuwen sighed in his heart.

When bidding farewell to Zhao Zhiqiang, Song Xiuwen put 920 yuan on the coffee table. Zhao Zhiqiang glanced at it, didn't make a sound, got up and sent Song Xiuwen out of the door.

Sending Song Xiuwen away, Zhao Zhiqiang turned around and returned to the living room, picked up the money put down by Song Xiuwen from the coffee table, and handed it to Tan Yan who was standing aside.

"Isn't it a good child' brand stroller for my daughter? This money is enough, right?" After speaking, Zhao Zhiqiang got up and went to the Education Commission Office.

6.

When Zhao Zhiqiang arrived at the Education Commission, Feng Shu was already waiting at the door of the office.

"Hey, Director Feng, why are you here so early?" Zhao Zhiqiang looked surprised.

"That's right," Feng Shu smiled, leaned in front of Zhao Zhiqiang, and continued, "I have already written out the work plan for the new semester of the junior and third-level department, please review it by Director Zhao." Also, the staff of the Education Commission Office didn't go to work during the holidays, so I just wanted to come over and help Director Zhao sweep the floor, boil boiling water, make tea, or something, so that Director Zhao could free up time to do big things. ”

Looking at Feng Shu's flattery and stammering, Zhao Zhiqiang's heart felt great satisfaction.

Opening the door, Zhao Zhiqiang sat at his desk and looked through the work plan of the junior and third-level departments written by Feng Shu.

Feng Shu was busy sweeping and mopping the floor, boiling water to make tea for Zhao Zhiqiang.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled and enjoyed all that Feng Shu had done with peace of mind.
