In the meeting room of the Ministry of Education, Vice Minister Li Huaiyuan met with Zhang Weiyuan, President of Taiming Group, Jiang Zhijun, Director of the General Office, and Chen Xing, Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education.

Li Huaiyuan emphasized that the rapid development of education in the mainland has benefited from the country's great attention and investment in education, especially in recent years, it has increased heavy investment in basic education facilities and improved the wages and benefits of front-line education workers, so that the majority of teachers can live with more dignity and teach with peace of mind in terms of economic status.

Mr. Zhang Xingzhi, chairman of the Taiming Group, donated the establishment of the '10,000 Thousand Schools' project five years ago, aiming to help the poor areas of the mainland of the motherland strengthen basic education facilities, so that more poor students can afford to go to school, have a good learning environment, and have made outstanding contributions to the education of the mainland of the motherland.

Li Huaiyuan and Zhang Weiyuan were talking, and Chen Xing, who was sitting under the head of the chief of staff, Jiang Zhijun, looked at the introduction of the information about the "10,000 Thousand Schools" project, which was established by Zhang Xingzhi's donation of one billion yuan five years ago, and now Zhang Xingzhi is 90 years old, no longer asking about specific matters, and his son Zhang Weiyuan inherits his charity.

Zhang Weiyuan led the team of Taiming Group to the mainland, in addition to business inspection, but also entrusted by his old father to care about the implementation of the "10,000 schools" project, and at this moment, Zhang Weiyuan also stated that Taiming Group will further invest funds to support the "10,000 schools" project to ensure that the project plays a better role, so that more poor children can have a comfortable learning environment.

The meeting lasted for an hour, at noon was the ministry in the hotel banquet Zhang Weiyuan and his party, Jiang Zhijun, Chen Xing and others also followed, at the wine table, the female vice president of Taiming Group Luo Xiaoyan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, frequently raising glasses, staggered, like a woman born for entertainment, every word and deed are eye-catching, the limelight overshadowed Zhang Weiyuan, the president, Zhang Weiyuan seems to be accustomed to this, with a smile on her face, without the slightest unhappiness of being overshadowed by her subordinates.

Chen Xing was stunned by the other party poured a glass of liquor, and finally stopped drinking more on the grounds that he had to go to work in the afternoon, otherwise he would have to be pulled to drink two glasses, and Chen Xing had to give a thumbs up to Luo Xiaoyan's drinking, and the men at their table were afraid that they all had the same idea, and Vice Minister Li Huaiyuan also smiled and said that women were not allowed to shave their eyebrows.

After the noon banquet, Chen Xing rested in his office for half an hour, and in the afternoon, Lin Yupei, the deputy director of the office, sent a document to Chen Xing's office, "Director Chen, this is a list of poor students in various provinces across the country that you used last time. ”

"It's very efficient." Chen Xing heard this, smiled and took the text, the deadline he gave was half a month, and now it has only been less than 10 days, and the ministry will send the document to the education departments of various provinces, and then count the number of jù, it seems that it is just a notice from the ministry, in fact, there is a lot of work here, and the specific implementation of the following provinces, municipalities (counties) education departments do not say that they want to break their legs, but to count the poor students in their respective locations, it is not so simple, unless it is said that a number is falsely reported at will.

"The education department below, if you don't give them a sense of urgency, some people like to procrastinate, so this time I asked the office to draft a notice that the number should be reported within 10 days, and the word 'important' was added after the text, so it was relatively fast." Lin Yupei responded to Chen Xing's words with a smile, "The key is that this is what you ordered, Director Chen, if you don't hurry up and do it well, I'm afraid that Director Chen will criticize me." ”

"It seems that I am such a strict person in Director Lin's mind?" Chen Xing glanced at Lin Yupei and said with a smile.

"Director Chen's image in my mind has always been very high." Lin Yupei twisted her stiff little buttocks and walked two steps to the edge of the desk, just as she wanted to show off her sexiness, when she saw Chen Xing looking down at Wen Jiàn directly, her eyes didn't look at her again, and she pouted angrily, she was here with Chen Xing, and she was really defeated repeatedly.

Chen Xing looked at the number of jù seriously, the number of poor students reported in each province is not necessarily very accurate, after all, some too remote mountainous areas can not set foot at all, some local education bureaus in order to save trouble, roughly fill in the estimated number jù is also a very normal thing, if the footprints are all over the place to register and summarize one by one, then this project is not generally large, and it may not be completed in a few months, Chen Xing does not expect the number of this table to be so accurate, but no matter what, This is directly summarized from various provinces, and it still has strong reference significance.

Browsing through a few tables, Chen Xing couldn't help but be very satisfied with Lin Yupei's ability to do things, he just roughly instructed at the time, Lin Yupei's form is very fine, the table is divided into a general table, and there are several attached tables, not only statistics of high school students from poor families, college students have also made statistics, some because of special family difficulties, the number of students who dropped out of junior high school to work has also made a statistics, the table also subdivides urban areas and rural areas, and the poverty of students' families is divided into ordinary and extremely poor, taking college students as an example, In the country's ordinary colleges and universities, there are about 3 million students in difficulty, accounting for nearly 20 percent of the students, and about 10 percent of the students in extreme poverty, with 2 million students.

Looking at the very detailed counts, Chen Xing's brows furrowed, "This is only the number of jù that has been reported, not counting the poor students who have not been counted, how many real poor students should there be in the whole country?" ”

"In short, it will not be less." Lin Yupei was stunned by Chen Xing's question, and could only answer as such, she never thought about this question, even if she worked in such a high department as the national education work, Lin Yupei never thought about how many students could not go to school, and how many students were still sitting in the dilapidated classroom, and how many students were still sitting in the dilapidated classroom, and how many students could not even eat a meal, and they were so hungry that their faces were yellow and thin, and Lin Yupei, who was pampered, did not think about that.

Although Lin Yupei has also followed the leaders of the ministry to inspect the teaching conditions in remote mountainous areas, the real situation is unbearable to witness, especially when she saw that those students didn't even have a new clothes, and they were wearing shabby clothes full of patches, Lin Yupei was also touched in her heart, but she thought that those things were not for her to worry about, and the leaders didn't worry about it, why did she worry about it as a small cadre? Lin Yupei didn't really take it to heart, she was thinking more about how to get a higher position, Chen Danying, the deputy director of the department, was the target that Lin Yupei had always wanted to surpass, she was also a woman, Chen Danying was only two or three years older than her, but now she was a deputy department, and she was just a deputy department, or in exchange for her relationship with Wang Rongyan.

"I have been shouting to make education bigger and stronger, to become an educational power, there are so many public funds to eat and drink, public funds to travel, hundreds of billions of dollars, but reluctant to invest a little more money in education, what to talk about becoming an educational power." After Chen Xing read the form carefully, he was quite angry, and almost slapped the table, his anger came without warning.

Lin Yupei was obviously also frightened by Chen Xing's anger for no reason, and was stunned for a while before he glanced at Chen Xing carefully, "Director Chen, you have to be cautious about this, if it spreads, I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied." ”

"I'm telling the truth, if anyone is dissatisfied, they can come and remove me." Several years of officialdom training have given Chen Xing a certain amount of city government and scheming, and even in order to achieve his own goals, Chen Xing will use some unconventional means, in essence, Chen Xing is not necessarily a good official, but it is undeniable that Chen Xing's blood in his bones is still there, and he is still an official who really wants to do something practical and has a conscience.

"Director Chen, if you have any anger, you can continue to vent, I haven't heard anything." Lin Yupei smiled bitterly, a little unable to understand why Chen Xing's reaction suddenly became so big, he hadn't seen Chen Xing angry, but today he was full of anger when talking about this poor student.

Chen Xing glanced at Lin Yupei deeply, he knew that what he said today was really a little impulsive, these words were passed out, in the eyes of the leaders, he would only feel that he was immature, and even dissatisfied, if someone wanted to make a fuss about his words, he could also accuse him of insinuating the inaction of the leaders in the department, as for eating and drinking with public funds, and spending with public funds, which department did not have it? What Chen Xing said just now is undoubtedly easy to be used as an excuse for attack, and at this moment, there is only Lin Yupei in the office, if it is spread in the future, it can only be passed out of Lin Yupei's mouth, and Lin Yupei is showing her attitude at this time.

Chen Xing suddenly became angry, Lin Yupei was a lot more honest all of a sudden, originally still had the intention of teasing, this would be regarded as a peace of mind, and said, "Director Chen, if you want to run a student aid project, I'm afraid that the funds in our ministry alone are not enough, not to mention how much money the ministry can approve, even if there is, I'm afraid it's not much, and you have to find a way from other channels." ”

"Of course, we can't just rely on the financial funds of the ministry, which is just a drop in the bucket, we have to raise donations from the society, call on more entrepreneurs to participate, and we can also cooperate with some charitable organizations." Chen Xing shook his head, sighed, and said, "In fact, we still have to rely on the support of the state, and local governments at all levels, as long as they reduce a little unnecessary public expenditure every year, I don't know how many students can afford to go to school." ”

"This is not something we can decide, the central government has so much money and can't control what to eat and drink with public funds, and we personally can't play a role." Lin Yupei shrugged her shoulders, she couldn't tell what she felt about Chen Xing, when Chen Xing just said that he was going to do this more than ten days ago, Lin Yupei thought in his heart that Chen Xing was just trying to do an image project, to make some reputation and political achievements for himself, as the capital for promotion, but at the moment Chen Xing's expression was beyond her expectations, Lin Yupei could see that Chen Xing was different from other officials in the ministry, he really wanted to do something.

"Don't talk about this, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, education is a long-term thing, and it is not something that can be changed overnight, as the competent department, we will do our best to let more children go to school and it will not be in vain to be this official." Chen Xing looked at Lin Yu Pei Dao.

In the evening, Chen Xing walked to the gate after work, and a Mercedes-Benz drove over in time and stopped in front of Chen Xing, Chen Xing glanced at Xue Dabao in the driver's seat, opened the door and got into the car with a smile.

"It's an honor to let Mr. Xue personally drive to pick it up." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Tsk, Chen Xing, don't come to make fun of me, I, a small citizen of Shengdou, can eat with you, the big leader of the ministry, that is my honor." Xue Dabao shook his head with a smile, he called Chen Xing in the afternoon to make an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, knowing that such an old classmate was a big official, Xue Dabao wanted to try his best to maintain a good relationship with his classmates.

"I'm not even a middle-level cadre, and I'm a big leader, aren't you mocking me?" Chen Xing scolded with a smile, talking to Xue Dabao, he is used to not choosing words, Chen Xing also likes this way of getting along, friends should be less scheming and more sincere, because Xue Dabao's righteous expression that night, he still recognizes Xue Dabao, an old classmate.

Talking and laughing with Xue Dabao, Chen Xing's mobile phone also rang, picked up the number and saw that it was Chen Zhongwei calling, and Chen Xing picked it up.

"Director Chen, that kid Zhang Feng is going to gamble again in the evening, he already owes millions of loan sharks and has no money to repay, it is estimated that he will come again at night to make an IOU, Director Chen, when are you going to clean him up?" Chen Zhongwei said.

"Okay, I'll go over in the evening, you guys play with him slowly, and I'll call you when I arrive." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Chen Xing hung up the phone, but Xue Dabao asked curiously, "Chen Xing, what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, there will be a little bit of a small matter to deal with later, but don't delay eating with you, an old classmate, other people's face can not be given, and the old classmate's face can not be given." Chen Xing smiled, his eyes exuded a cold glow, Zhang Feng and Zhang Xin's brother and sister must be solved in this matter, he wants to find out the truth of that night, if it is really him who is drunk and messed around, then Chen Xing will also admit it.
