Chapter 19: Stormy Waters (3)

On May 1st, the basketball competition of the cultural and educational system in Qingfeng area officially kicked off.

The Qingfeng area has one city and eight counties, and each county and city selects three teams, plus the teams directly under the district and the school, and there are more than 35 teams in total. It is one of the few sports events in the Aomine area in recent years.

Because this year is the 40th anniversary of the National Day, the prefectural committee and the administrative department still attach great importance to this competition.

Commissioner Lu Dayong personally attended the opening ceremony and delivered an enthusiastic speech. Liu Weihong found that President Zhu was also sitting on the rostrum, and the position arranged was relatively close to the center.

In any case, President Zhu is at the county and regiment level, and in a region's cultural and educational system, this level is very high, and he deserves this kind of treatment. However, Liu Weihong also found that Principal Li of the Industry and Trade School was also sitting on the rostrum, closer to Commissioner Lu than Principal Zhu's.

This is a signal.

Principal Zhu and Principal Li are both county-level cadres, and the industrial and trade school was established after the agricultural school, and Principal Li was promoted much later than Principal Zhu. Liu Weihong estimated that in the competition for the post of director of the regional education commission, President Li had a head start. The officials of those organs in the cultural and educational system are very well-informed in this regard, and they must have heard some kind of rumor, and it is relatively reliable information, so they will arrange the positions of the two principals in this way.

This is also a chance to make a fool of yourself.

As long as President Li sits on the throne of the director of the Education Commission, he will become the top boss of the cadres of the Education Commission in the blink of an eye.

Commissioner Lu Dayong is also in his 50s, and his appearance is relatively quiet and delicate, more like an intellectual than an official. The speech is quite level, even though it is an official cliché, you can still hear the level.

It is also a kind of ability to be able to speak official clichés with emotion.

For this competition, Liu Weihong's preparation is relatively sufficient.

He cares about this competition.

Of course, what Liu Weihong cares about is not the champion's certificate and a little bonus symbolizing his surname, but what he cares about is President Zhu's feelings. Lao Zhu really wants to win the championship of this basketball game. Especially in the case of the possibility of losing the competition with Principal Li for the director of the Education Commission, the honor of the champion of the basketball game is particularly important to Principal Zhu, who loves face.

Since the superiors attach importance to this matter, they must go all out.

This is the basic rule of officialdom.

More than 40 years of life experience and the ups and downs of the capital's officialdom have told Liu Weihong that if you want to get ahead in the system and make a difference, your backing background is important, personal ability and wisdom are important, and abiding by the rules is equally important.

In which circle, the rules of which circle must be followed.

Otherwise, all your colleagues will reject you, no matter how hard your background is and how big your ability is, it will be difficult to show it. If you can't fit into the "mainstream circle" and are not popular, don't talk about your superiors, even if your peers or even subordinates want to make things difficult for you, and you are contrary to your yang and yin, there are ways to do it.

Liu Weihong has seen too many stories of the "three generations of reds" with a hard background in the officialdom.

After the opening ceremony, the official competition begins.

First of all, the group stage.

There's no suspense about this. Although it is not a very formal competition, it is also divided into seeded teams and non-seeded teams, and the agricultural school basketball team has always been famous, so it is naturally included in the seeded team, and it is not in a group with a strong team such as the industry and trade school team.

In the group stage, the agricultural school team swept all the opponents and qualified as the first place in the group without any danger.

Tang Qiuye followed to the arena in the city, just like at school, holding towels and tea, squeezing into the front of the crowd, as soon as there was a pause, Tang Qiuye ran over to hand Liu Weihong a towel and tea, and was very busy.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Weihong was a little strange.

"Hee-hee, May Day, holiday......"

Tang Qiuye smiled happily, looking unwitted. Such a spectacular appearance of a large surname beauty on the basketball court also attracted the hot eyes of many men.

Liu Weihong was stunned. However, his mind immediately flew to the capital. According to the practice of the "Horn" issue, a new issue of the magazine will be published on May 1, and in this issue of the magazine you will certainly see "Unequivocal Opposition to the Ideas of Bourgeois Liberalization" (Part II).

Since He Jingqiang sent it to him (above), this (below) will definitely not be missed. For such a big matter, He Jingqiang will never do it alone, he must have discussed it with the elders in the family, it can be regarded as the "collective decision-making" of the old He family!

The old Liu family and Comrade Yuehua are drifting apart, which is exactly what the old He family likes to see.

The basketball game is on its fourth day.

On this day, the agricultural school team had a bye, and it was rare to have a day off, so Liu Weihong and his teammates sat in the stands to watch the games of other teams. The group stage ended yesterday with six teams selected for the final. Liu Weihong wants to carefully study the tactics of other strong teams.

Tang Qiuye actually sat next to Liu Weihong.

The woman took a leave of absence and was determined to watch the whole race and see the glorious moment when Liu Weihong reached the championship podium.

Liu Weihong was also very moved by her affection.

Now that everything is all over again, let's change!

So Liu Weihong didn't avoid anything, he talked and laughed with Tang Qiuye beside him, and pointed out the basketball court from time to time, explained the various rules of basketball to her, and analyzed the technical characteristics of the main players of other teams.

Tang Qiuye has always smiled happily, but he has always kept a certain distance from Liu Weihong.

This point makes Liu Weihong particularly appreciated.

Tang Qiuye is also a person who "understands the rules". Even though he likes Liu Weihong in his heart, he is careful not to cause him big trouble. Perhaps, love to the extreme, is a manifestation of this single-mindedness for the lover.

"Second brother!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Liu Weihong, and a hand slapped Liu Weihong's shoulder.

Liu Weihong was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look, with a very surprised look on his face.

"Xiaohui? What are you doing here? ”

Standing behind Liu Weihong is also a young man in his early twenties, who is relatively quiet and delicate in appearance, with a moderate figure, and is one of Liu Weihong's sworn friends in the Beijing circle, named Cheng Hui. Last time he had a conflict with He Weiqiang in the villa, Cheng Hui was also present. Don't look at the sven looks, the fight is not ambiguous, at that time, there was a beer bottle in one hand, and I was ready to do a big job.

But Liu Weihong never expected that Cheng Hui would appear in Qingfeng City.

At that time, the traffic was not developed, unlike later generations, airplanes, high-speed railways or something, there were too many, from the capital to Qingfeng City, it was only about ten hours, and even flew directly to Daning, and transferred to Qingfeng City, it took less than ten hours, the time was accurate, and if the arrangement was in place, three or four hours was enough. ** In the year, it was not easy, and it took twenty-five or six hours by train.

Cheng Hui grinned, a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Second brother, say it, don't be angry......

Liu Weihong's gang was small, and when he was in his twenties, he was more afraid of him. Liu Weihong's prestige in the capital's circle is made. Later, the old Liu family lost power, and everyone was a few years older, and they had seen more of the world, so naturally they no longer had this fear.

Liu Weihong's heart sank, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, while talking." There are a lot of people here. ”

Cheng Hui suddenly appeared in Qingfeng City, which was already very abnormal, and with such a look, it was obvious that something was wrong. Mr. Liu didn't want his colleagues at the agricultural school to hear something they shouldn't have heard.

"Little Teacher ......"

Seeing that Liu Weihong was leaving, Tang Qiuye was anxious, stood up and shouted.

"I've got something, my friend is here. I'll tell you later. ”

Liu Weihong turned his head and ordered, and hurriedly walked aside with Cheng Hui.

"Second brother, I'm sorry, it's not that I want to bother you, it's my old man who ordered me to show people the way."

Cheng Hui scratched his head and said curtly.

"Who's leading the way?"

Liu Weihong became vigilant.

"Yao ......"

Cheng Hui raised his chin in the other direction.

Liu Weihong looked in this direction, and saw two middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, both wearing suits, well-dressed, and calm. Seeing Liu Weihong looking over, the two men smiled, and one of them raised his hand to greet Liu Weihong.

"Who?"

Liu Weihong asked with a frown.

Cheng Hui said sincerely: "I don't know either. My old man instructed me to come to Qingfeng with them and make a special trip to you. Moreover, he stated that this matter could not alarm the local comrades, so he said that it was a meeting between friends to chat and talk. ”

Cheng Hui doesn't look like a fake.

Liu Weihong's brows furrowed even tighter.

The "old man" mentioned by Cheng Hui is actually not old, it is Cheng Hui's father Cheng Jiuling, but he is in his forties, which is the same age as Liu Chengjia. But Cheng Jiuling works in the Supreme Chief's Office, and this identity is not trivial.

The old man of the Cheng family, an old subordinate of the supreme chief, was persecuted to death in the Great Revolution. The supreme chief misses the old and takes special care of the descendants of the Cheng family. Therefore, although the old man of the Cheng family is no longer alive, the old Cheng family is also considered a wealthy family in Beijing.

Cheng Jiuling specially instructed Cheng Hui to take two strangers to Qingfeng City to find him, and not let the local comrades know that if he made a mysterious matter, things must be extraordinary.

Undoubtedly, they came for that article.

Not disclosing your identity is a scruple.

Of course, it is not because of Liu Weihong, but because of Old Man Liu.

Even if he is the supreme chief, he respects Old Man Liu. They are old comrades-in-arms.

Most of these two people came to understand the real situation, but it is difficult to say that they were not instructed by the supreme chief. The political circle in the capital has always been very complicated.

Liu Weihong hadn't thought about it very much, and the two middle-aged men had already walked over. With a friendly smile on their faces all the time, there is no indication that they have a special mission.
