One morning in early June; Yue Haohan was in the school library, engrossed in consulting a few materials recommended by Professor Zhang; Liu Hongshan came in and sat next to him and said softly: "Haohan, Teacher Xiang asked me to come to you; Let you go to his office and say that he has something to talk to you about; Just go! ”

Yue Haohan packed up the books and walked out of the library, walking towards the counselor and the teacher's office; When I entered the office, I found that in addition to Mr. Xiang, there were two cadre-looking people sitting in the office; Yue Haohan smiled at the counselor and said to the teacher, "Hello, teacher! Do you have something to do with me? After saying that, he nodded and smiled at the other two people in the office.

Teacher Xiang saw Yue Haohan coming in, so he smiled and said, "Haohan, it's here; Let me first introduce you to these two comrades. As he spoke, he pointed to a man about forty years old, wearing glasses and a white shirt sitting near the inside, and said, "Haohan, this comrade is Director Zhou Kunshan Zhou of the Youth Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee of Central South Province. ”

Yue Haohan looked at Zhou Kunshan and said with a smile: "Director Zhou is good!" ”

At this time, he introduced another man in his thirties with a small flat head to the teacher and said, "This is Comrade Zhao Xiaogang, deputy director of the Student Affairs Department of Jianghan University. ”

Yue Haohan smiled at Zhao Xiaogang and said, "Hello Director Zhao!" ”

After introducing the two of them to the teacher, he asked Yue Haohan to sit down and said, "Haohan, I came to you today because I need to ask for your opinion on something; Because you are a student party member, you should obey all decisions of the organization, and the specific situation will be discussed in detail by Director Zhou and Director Zhao. ”

After saying to the teacher, Zhou Kunshan from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee said: "Yue Haohan, I came today mainly to inform the school and you that you are a fresh graduate of Jianghan University this year; Based on your performance in school in the past four years, plus you are a student party member; After a strict inspection and screening by the Organization Department of the Central and Southern Party Committee, you have been selected as this year's 'Selected and Transferred Students' to enter the training of reserve cadres; I hope that you will not let down the trust of the organization, and I have brought a copy of the information about the 'Selected and Transferred Students' here, and you will have a good look at it after you go down; and make preparations, after half a month of training at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee next Monday, you will be uniformly assigned and dispatched by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. After speaking, he handed a printed piece of paper to Yue Haohan and said: "This is the information about the 'selection and transfer of students', you take a good look at it, and be mentally prepared to come to a difficult place to exercise and endure hardships." ”

After Zhou Kunshan finished speaking, Zhao Xiaogang said: "Yue Haohan, you can be selected and transferred by the Organization Department of the Central and Southern Party Committee as a 'selected student'; as a reserve cadre; this is inseparable from your usual excellent performance in all aspects, I hope you don't have other ideas, as a party member; you have to obey the organization's arrangements; at the same time, the school has a decision this year, if student party members do not obey the organization's assignment, they will no longer be assigned work or arrangements from the new one, and will be criticized and dealt with in the party's internal circular. ”

Listening to Director Zhao's words, Yue Haohan's mouth opened and he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't help but didn't speak.

After Zhou Kunshan and Zhao Xiaogang finished talking to Yue Haohan, they said goodbye and left; After the two left, Yue Haohan sat down in front of Teacher Xiang and said, "Teacher Xiang, I want to study Professor Zhang's graduate school; Why is it suddenly a 'transfer student' now? A little confused! ”

Teacher Xiang looked at Yue Haohan and said, "Haohan, I don't know much about this matter, and I also know it today; I just heard that the system of 'selecting and transferring students' that has been suspended for several years has this year selected and transferred outstanding students to various key universities on a small scale to temper them at the grassroots level; and to enrich the reserve party and government cadres at the grassroots level? There are two directors here to talk to you, vast, you have to think about it. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Teacher Xiang, in fact, I have always planned to follow Professor Zhang to study our traditional Chinese culture, but I didn't expect this to be the case? ”

Xiang said to the teacher: "Haohan, I know that Professor Zhang recommended you to study for his graduate school without examination; After applying for the school, I heard that you and Wang Wenbin's exemption places were passed; Maybe you are a student party member and the organization department has been selected, and the school and Professor Zhang can't do anything; By the way, Professor Zhang is in the office this morning; You will sit down with him in a moment; In the future, if you want to study traditional culture, you can also study part-time as his graduate student, he appreciates and likes you so much; After work, he will be admitted to his part-time graduate school! ”

After sitting in the teacher's office for a while, Yue Haohan got up and said goodbye and went to the professor's building to find Professor Zhang; Knocked twice on the door of Professor Zhang's office; I listened to Professor Neizhang's voice and said, "Please come in!" Yue Haohan opened the office door and saw Fu Rongsheng, who had seen the General Hospital of the Southern Military Region, and Academician Fu was sitting opposite Zhang Haiming's desk; The two were chatting; Seeing that it was Yue Haohan who came in, Professor Zhang smiled and said, "Haohan, here?" Sit down on the couch. ”

Yue Haohan said to the two: "Academician Fu is good, Professor Zhang is good!" After saying hello, Yue Haohan sat down on the sofa in the office near the desk.

At this time, I heard Fu Rongsheng say: "Lao Zhang, this is your proud protégé; The last time I met this kid and another kid in the hospital to see you, it was him. ”

Zhang Haiming said: "Old man, you have a good memory; His name is Yue Haohan, and the other is called Wang Wenbin, and they are both students I value very much; In particular, he is very interested in traditional culture and has a high level of understanding; The school has studied through him to study my graduate school without examination, but unfortunately, the organization department has snatched it away; I can't help it. ”

Fu Rongsheng looked at Yue Haohan and said, "Okay, this kid is good; Last time, when my old chief, General Luo, went to pick me up in Southern Province, he also said that he met his grandson, who was studying at Jianghan University, in the courtyard of the military hospital, and it was you kid. ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "Yes, Grandpa Luo taught me Tai Chi; Now I'm addicted, and if I don't practice a few times a day, I feel uncomfortable. ”

Fu Rongsheng laughed and said, "Lao Zhang, I said that your disciple is good; My old chief, with whom I followed for decades; I have a very stubborn temper, but I didn't expect to accept your disciple. ”

Professor Zhang said at this time: "Haohan, did you come today to talk about the 'selection of students'?" I also told me the day before yesterday that I only found out that your place for graduate school without examination would be changed; What do you think? Let's get two old guys to pay attention to you. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Professor Zhang, I still want to follow you to graduate school; Now that I have suddenly become a 'transfer student', my mind has not yet turned a corner, and I am not afraid of the hard work at the grassroots level. ”

Zhang Haiming said: "Haohan, my opinion is that since the organization department and the school have been decided, you must obey the assignment; I am also your introducer to join the party, and I would like to ask you a few words here; Now that you have become a 'selected student', you will be considered to have entered the ranks of civil servants; when you go to the grassroots level, you will take root and do more good deeds for the people; you will be able to take root in your own roots; so that you will go further; as for traditional cultural research, you can also do it in your spare time, and you can also go to work and later be admitted to my part-time graduate school. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Professor Zhang, hearing you say this, I am in a much better mood; Now that I have become a 'transfer student', I will do a good job, and I will not embarrass Professor Zhang. ”

At this time, Fu Rongsheng answered: "Xiao Yue, you are Lao Zhang's student; I will send you a sentence in the Book of Changes, 'It is better to give up'; this is not to be forced, what is yours is yours, if it is not your forcible request, you will not get, even if you get it, there will be no good results, in many cases 'giving' is a wise move. You see, your teacher Zhang recommended that you go to graduate school without examination, and the school passed it; Then you can only give up going to graduate school, but you don't want to throw away the Book of Changes; A lot of things will be useful to you in the future, even if you work in the future, you will have to come to see you more Teacher Zhang; When we have the opportunity, we will discuss the Chinese culture of the Book of Changes together, and I will be leaving. After speaking, Fu Rongsheng was about to say goodbye and leave; Yue Haohan followed Zhang Haiming and sent Fu Rongsheng downstairs.

After watching Fu Rongsheng leave, Zhang Haiming said: "Haohan, go up with me and sit down for a while, I still have something to say to you." ”

Yue Haohan replied, "Okay! Then he followed Zhang Haiming to the office again, Zhang Haiming sat down and said, "Haohan, pour yourself a glass of water, sit down and let's talk for a while." ”

Yue Haohan picked up the boiling water bottle on the side of the desk and added some water to Zhang Haiming's cup first; Only then did he take a disposable paper cup prepared in the office, pour himself a cup, and then sit on the sofa in front of Zhang Haiming.

Seeing Yue Haohan sit down, Zhang Haiming said: "Haohan, you have become a 'selected and transferred student', you have to look at it dialectically; I don't think this is a bad thing; this selection and transfer student is to train reserve cadres, what I want to tell you today is that no matter how big a leader you become in the future, you must overcome the 'official standard' thinking; this 'official standard' is a kind of official-oriented, official-oriented, official-honored, official-oriented values as the main content; In fact, we have been the 'dross' of Chinese culture for thousands of years, and when you enter politics, you have to do more practical and good things for the people. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Teacher Zhang, I remember your words; No matter what I do in the future, I will think about your warning today, and I will definitely not disgrace you! ”

Zhang Haiming nodded with a smile, looked at Yue Haohan with satisfaction, and said: "Haohan, I will have to do administrative work in the future, and I will send you a few words from the Book of Changes; First, it is necessary to achieve 'the discipline of the teacher', to abide by the rules and rules in life and work, and not to mess around, otherwise it will be detrimental to oneself; the second is to achieve 'the founding of the country and the inheritance of the family, and the villain should not be used', no matter how big or small the situation is, do not use the villain, the villain can only do bad things; the third is to do 'public opinion', people or collaborators working in a unit system, do not blame each other, the end of the accusation can only be a parting of the ways, even the husband and wife will also turn against each other. ”

Listening to Zhang Haiming's words in the Book of Changes, he instructed himself to mention; Yue Haohan was very moved in his heart, and looked at Zhang Haiming with a grateful expression and said, "Teacher Zhang, I remember, I understand Teacher Zhang's expectations for me, and I will definitely live up to Teacher Zhang's hard work." ”

In Professor Zhang Haiming's office, I chatted with Professor Zhang until it was close to noon; Yue Haohan only returned to the dormitory, and only found out after arriving at the dormitory; The other three had already gone to the cafeteria to eat, and Yue Haohan put the 'selection and transfer students' materials given by Director Zhou of the Organization Department on his desk, and then went to the cafeteria to eat.

Back in the dormitory after dinner, the other three were already discussing something together; I saw Li Weidong holding the materials that Yue Haohan had put on his desk in his hand and reading there: "The selection and transfer of students is a planned selection and transfer of fresh college graduates with excellent character and learning from institutions of higher learning by the organization department, and as reserve candidates for party and government leading cadres and high-quality staff candidates for party and government organs at or above the county level for key training. Since 1980, the organization departments of the party committees of various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities have systematically resumed the selection and transfer of fresh college graduates from institutions of higher learning to work at the grassroots level, with emphasis on training. The focus of 'selecting and transferring students' to work at the grassroots level is to train reserve candidates for party and government leading cadres, and at the same time to train high-quality personnel for party and government organs at and above the county level. ”

Seeing Yue Haohan coming in, Li Weidong said: "Who has become a 'selected student' dormitory, why did you put a few 'selected and transferred students' materials, it won't be that you were selected and transferred?" ”

Wang Wenbin said: "Dongzi, you can talk about it, Hanzi and I were recommended by Professor Zhang to study for graduate school without examination, and the school has passed the study, and it will be announced in a few days." ”

Li Weidong turned his head again and asked Liu Hongshan, who was looking at the information carefully, "Dashan, that's you?" ”

Liu Hongshan raised his head and said, "Look at who it is?" As he spoke, he handed a notice under the information to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong glanced at it and said: "It's really Hanzi, why did you become a 'selected student'; ”

Yue Haohan said: "Where do I know, I'm still confused; If you make a mistake, you will become a 'selected student', or go to work at the grassroots level in a remote area. ”

Li Weidong smiled: "Hanzi, you can't say that, I read the information just now; The focus of 'selecting and transferring students' to work at the grassroots level is to train reserve candidates for party and government leading cadres, and at the same time to train high-quality staff members for party and government organs at and above the county level. ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said: "Dongzi, you are talking nonsense, I will work at the remote grassroots level in the future, don't forget me, don't be a classmate without me." ”

After discussing for a while the 'selection and transfer of students'; after chatting about where they would go after graduation, Yue Haohan went to bed for a lunch break; lay down on the bed and carefully read the materials of the Organization Department of the Central and Southern Party Committee; the notice was set to report for training at the Party School of the Central and Southern Provincial Party Committee next Monday morning, and a curriculum schedule for the half-month training was attached.

Thinking that today's incident came too suddenly, Yue Haohan repeatedly couldn't fall asleep in bed, it seems that he has to find a time this week to tell Ziying about this matter as soon as possible; In the future, I will work in grassroots townships, and the relationship between me and Ziying still needs to be reconsidered, and Ziying cannot be affected because of myself; If you love her, you should make her happy, but can you give her happiness? I can't give her happiness, so it's better to let it go! Thinking about breaking up with Cheng Ziying, Yue Haohan felt a little painful in his heart; sighed, and said in his heart: "Long pain is better than short pain; In order for Ziying not to suffer in the future and live happily in the future, let's break up! ”

Yue Haohan was so contradictory that he struggled his thoughts for a long time; I didn't get up until the afternoon class time was almost up, so I quickly cleaned up and hurried to the class.
