Early the next morning, Zhang Chen didn't use Zhang Shengli's car, but called him and asked him to find a translator to come over, and take Shanatana to visit several scenic spots in Bencheng in the past few days. Zhang Chen himself rode his bicycle to school.

Yesterday, Su Wenjin told Zhang Chen that since the end of August, Chen Huisheng has called his family every day to ask if Zhang Chen has returned. I have been fighting for several days in a row, so I asked Zhang Chen to go to the principal's office to find him as soon as he came back. If he is not there, he will find Zhao Lixin.

Zhang Chen wanted to go to the classroom to find Lin Xiaoxia first, but was stopped by Zhao Lixin halfway. Zhao Lixin was also storing his car in the bicycle shed, and happened to see Zhang Chen pushing the car into the carport.

Zhang Chen said dissatisfiedly: "Teacher Zhao, you let me go first, I'll go to the classroom, and then I'll go to Principal Chen immediately, okay?"

Zhao Lixin smiled, "When did you love learning so much? Don't worry, let's go to the principal's office first, the principal has been waiting for you for many days." ”

Zhang Chen said lazily: "I have always loved learning, otherwise how would I be the first in the school in the last monthly exam last semester." Eh, don't drag me, you let me go to the class to meet the new head teacher first, and I'll go to the principal's office right away. ”

Zhao Lixin still looked smiling, "Seeing the new teacher, I think you want to see Teacher Lin, right?"

Zhang Chen's face was not red, "The new head teacher's surname is Lin?"

Zhao Lixin's face was blank, "Don't be bored, hurry up and follow me to see Principal Chen, do something for you, and you still take Qiao." ”

Zhang Chen had no choice but to walk to the principal's office with Zhao Lixin one after the other.

Chen Huisheng has no leisure this summer, and the so-called national outstanding student cadres also need to operate. Especially after the cancellation of the selection of the top ten middle school students in the country last year, only the national award of outstanding student cadres can be obtained, and it is even more difficult to participate in the election together with student cadres at all educational stages.

Chen Huisheng has studied and found that over the years, there have been about 50 outstanding student cadres in the country every year, and each province can be allocated an average of one and a half places. And 70% of them are student cadres of colleges and universities, and most of them are organized by students with outstanding work achievements and participated in activities to go to the countryside. The remaining 30%, or about 15 students, are in the middle school stage, and 70% in the high school stage, and the number of places left for the junior high school stage is actually less than 5 people in the country.

It can be difficult to stand out from hundreds of candidates across the country and become one of these five. And the operation and game behind this are even more complicated than the election of people's congress deputies.

Chen Huisheng is running around this summer and sending materials. Although Zhang Chen has real deeds and the implicit support of the political and legal system in Bincheng, the support of the education system and the Communist Youth League can only play an auxiliary role. At the end of the day, it's about getting recognized within the selection committee.

Originally, it would be better to have Zhang Chen come forward with these things, at least it could give many people related an intuitive impression, and make people feel "Well, this young man is good" after direct contact, so that they can be more sure.

But Zhang Chen didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and before the summer vacation, he asked for leave to go to the United States, saying that he was going to Stanford to study. You're a junior high school student, you probably won't be able to pass the language barrier at Stanford, so go and learn from it.

Although he was dissatisfied, when he saw Zhang Chen standing in front of him, Chen Huisheng still stood up with a smile and patted Zhang Chen's shoulder and pretended to be affectionate: "Let me see, well, have you grown a lot taller, it seems that the Americans have good food." ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "The food is average, that is, there is more meat, and it is not very healthy. ”

Chen Huisheng laughed: "When we were your age, we couldn't eat meat if we wanted to." How did you feel after two months of classes at Stanford?"

Zhang Chen said modestly: "There are too many elites in Stanford, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. By the way, I brought you and Director Zhao some small gifts. Originally, I thought that I would give it to you when you took a break at noon, but it happened that you and Director Zhao were here, so I saved another trip. As he spoke, he took out two small boxes.

Chen Huisheng and Zhao Lixin opened it and saw that it was two Parker fountain pens. Parker is just a popular stationery brand, not a luxury product, and Zhang Chen is not too expensive to buy, just a few tens of dollars. But in the 90s, when even McDonald's could be regarded as a high-end restaurant, a Parker pen can be said to be one of the dreams of intellectuals.

Although Chen Huisheng has a treasured Parker pen, compared with the Parker 88 given by Zhang Chen, it is much worse in shape and feel.

After playing for a while, Chen Huisheng reluctantly put away the pen, coughed twice and said: "It's hard for you to have a heart, I didn't tell you before you left, the matter of the city's three good students has been settled." After I reported your deeds to the Municipal Communications Commission, I discussed with Director Wen of the Education Commission, and planned to let you participate in the selection of national outstanding student cadres. After you go back, hurry up and prepare the materials, and you also need to write a deeds report. Before September 15 at the latest, the materials must be submitted to the Municipal Communications Commission, and after the Municipal Communications Commission revises and examines them, they must be reported to the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Education before the end of the month. Time is tight, you can't drop the chain. ”

Zhang Chen was speechless, "Principal Chen, I'm just a member of the propaganda committee, isn't it appropriate to participate in the selection of outstanding student cadres? And now that I'm in my third year of junior high school, I have a heavy homework load, so I think it's better to forget it." Zhang Chen didn't want to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart, he was too busy now, and if he added this matter again, he would really be exhausted.

Chen Huisheng said bitterly, "I see that you are usually very smart, why do you make a fool at a critical moment? This is an outstanding student cadre in the country, and no matter how many people want to ask for an honor." Not to mention anything else, if you can be selected, at least you won't have to worry about the future high school entrance examination. ”

"As for the cadre problem you mentioned, well。。。。。。 Chen Huisheng thought for a while, "This is indeed a problem, Lixin, the current student union president of the junior high school is Wang Ran from the second class of junior high school, right?"

Zhao Lixin hurriedly said: "Yes, it's her, she was elected in the second half of last year, the little girl is enthusiastic and cheerful, and her management skills are also good." ”

Chen Huisheng said: "Go back and talk to Wang Ran, let her carry forward her style, and let the president of the student union out, after all, the affairs of the country's outstanding student cadres are the top priority." ”

Zhao Lixin was dumbfounded, "Principal, isn't this okay?"

Zhang Chen watched coldly, with a little more disdain for Chen Huisheng in his heart, and couldn't help but speak: "Principal, this is not good, on the one hand, it is too unfair to classmate Wang Ran, and on the other hand, if I really participate in the competition, this is an invisible stain and easy to be attacked." ”

Chen Huisheng patted his head, "That's right, by the way, the secretary of the Youth League branch of the junior high school is also Wang Ran, right? After graduating from Xie Wei this year, let Wang Ran concurrently serve as a part-time student, and let me say, don't take on the part-time job, let Wang Ran concentrate on handling the work of the student union, and give up the position of secretary of the Youth League branch." ”
