Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Heavy Drop of Rain Falls from the Sky
It's the spring of another year, and Wu Wei is busy reading, thinking, and writing as always. One afternoon, the phone rang suddenly, and when I opened it, I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and I heard the voice of a young woman, hello? Are you Wu Wei?
Wu Weiying said, I am, you are?
The woman said, I am Mei Hong from the city's non-party cadres department, our Minister Wang wants to meet you, can you come tomorrow morning?
When Wu Wei heard this, his mind flashed to see if other people had any plans for him, and immediately asked politely, what are the instructions?
Mei Hong giggled, how dare she instruct you? You will come to my office at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then I will take you to see Minister Wang.
Wu Wei replied, okay.
The next morning, Wu Wei went to Mei Hong's office first, and when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately opened the door, it was a woman who looked young and dressed very well, Wu Wei asked with a smile, are you Mei Chu? Excuse me.
Mei Hong gave way, please come in. Let Wu Wei sit down on the sofa.
Mei Hong said with a smile on her face, are you so smart that you guessed what you mean?
Wu Wei said busily, where can you guess what it means when the organ is so profound?
Mei Hong sat on her own chair, looked at Wu Wei, and said, Now that the various parties are preparing for the re-election, you have been listed as a priority candidate in our department.
When Wu Wei heard this, he didn't immediately look happy like some people, and said very calmly, How much rain can fall on my head?
Mei Hong said, we think you are the best of the 150,000 non-party cadres in the city, two years ago the cadre department has notified you to come to the forum, you spoke at the meeting to arouse the attention of our Minister Wang, a while Minister Wang will talk to you about this matter, I will say hello to you first, I hope you can cherish this opportunity. Speaking of this, she looked at her watch and said, "Okay, I'll lead you there." After speaking, the two came to Minister Wang's office, and after introducing each other, Mei Hong withdrew from Lu.
Minister Wang looked like a very capable strong woman, after sitting down with each other, Minister Wang opened his mouth and went straight to the topic, your name has been passed around on the list in recent years, I imagine that you can sit on the rostrum and have that frame, now it looks okay. After many years of observation, your performance is outstanding, and we have decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the change of various parties in the city to recommend you to a party as the chairman of the committee, and wait for the change of the CPPCC to recommend the vice chairman. I'm coming to you today to hear your opinion.
Although Wu Wei had no intention of doing this, he couldn't help but feel grateful when he listened and thought that people valued him so much, and immediately said, thank you so much Minister Wang, I have never thought of such a thing, I feel very surprised, besides, I am not a local cadre, such a good thing The minister can think of me, no matter whether the thing is successful or not, I am very grateful to the minister for his trust and love for me. Some departments in the city have not forgotten me when they encounter good things, and have been rated as ten outstanding young people in the city, outstanding experts, outstanding teachers, model workers, lifelong honorary researchers, and part-time vice presidents of the Federation of Social Affairs.
Minister Wang said, although you don't work in the local area, we still know you very well, see that you have good quality, you are a seedling, and I often hear some departments evaluate and discuss you, see the articles and suggestions you wrote, and have a good reputation, besides, we also understand that your system internal reform and adjustment school downgrading and layoffs, can you still have any development there, and what are your superiors' plans for you?
Wu Wei said, I am not a party member, and my superiors will not have a good chance to do anything if they are afraid.
Minister Wang said, we are also considering this, we want you to go to the local area to have new development, if you agree, now I will let Mei Hong greet the other side, first introduce you to their party, and then recommend you through their party. You also have to be mentally prepared for this matter, the parties, they still very much reject people who do not belong to their sector to be their heads, this is understandable, after we have repeatedly introduced your situation to them, they have basically agreed.
Wu Wei said, thank you so much, minister, what do you need me to do now?
Minister Wang said that there is nothing you need to do here, you just follow our arrangement step by step.
After Minister Wang finished speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed it, and as soon as he answered it, Minister Wang said, Mei Hong, come here. Mei Hong led Wu Wei to meet the secretary general of the party, and they were very enthusiastic, and said with a smile, they were the future leaders, and gave a brief introduction to their party, and then asked Wu Wei to submit an application for joining the party and wait for news.
Mei Hong later called Wu Wei and said, our department attaches great importance to your problem, and there is a sense of urgency, called to rescue cadres, if this change is not successful, the opportunity will be gone in the future, I feel that it is a pity that talents like you are not arranged.
Wu Wei also invited Minister Wang, Mei Hong, and the secretary general to have dinner, talked about some preparatory work, and made further preparations for Wu Wei's affairs; first he was co-opted as a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Mei Hong contacted relevant publications to publish materials on Wu Wei's deeds.
One day, Wu Wei was active outside, and received a call from Ye Feng, saying that the provincial bank called him to ask Wu Wei to fill out the form, and he had already filled out the report.
Wu Wei asked, what table?
Ye Feng said that it was to supplement the list of members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the above asked that he not be allowed to know about it.
A few days later, the soon-to-be-retired chairman of that party, accompanied by Mei Hong and others, went to the school to inspect Wu Wei.
Wu also felt strange for himself, when he encountered such an opportunity to be promoted, how could he not be as ecstatic as some people, and quickly acted, although it was a good thing for himself was a very important thing involving the future and destiny, but it was not like the strong excitement and joy brought by some new discovery on the road of theoretical exploration, so he was more willing to continue to read and think and write more consciously, he valued his inner experience, and what he could do to bring him excitement and joy of experience, he would do what he did. Moreover, he believes that the path of academic exploration can be completely controlled and mastered by himself, and as long as he works hard, he can continue to obtain such an experience. The success of being an official in politics was too fortuitous, so although the things he was recommended had been included in the procedure, he took a natural attitude and let it go.
Mei Hong also knows him very well, and once called him and said that Minister Wang was still discussing with us, why didn't Wu Wei go to the ministry diligently? I said, people don't take it very seriously.
One Friday afternoon, Wu Wei received a telephone call from the secretary general of the party informing him that our provincial chairman, who is also the vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC, will meet you next Monday afternoon, and I would like to ask you to go directly to him when the time comes.
Wu Wei rushed to the provincial capital on Monday morning and received a phone call from Mei Hong saying that Minister Wang wanted to talk to you. Wu Wei said very sincerely to Minister Wang on the phone, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, I am very grateful to my eldest sister for her care and support for me. When I asked Minister Wang how he would talk when he saw the chairman, she said that if he wanted to ask you why you wanted to join their party, you would say that their party was short of talents.
Wu Wei hesitated, isn't it okay to say this?
Minister Wang said simply, you just say so.
At 1 p.m., Wu Wei went to the mailroom of the office building of the provincial CPPCC to register who he wanted to meet, and the mailman was an elderly woman, saying that they had not yet gone to work and asked him to sit down and wait.
Wu Wei sat on the ** in the mailroom and looked out the window at the people entering and exiting the door.
The woman asked him, "What are you here for?" Wu Wei replied that a vice chairman was going to meet me.
Wu Wei felt that the old woman was looking at herself, and after a while she asked Wu Wei, what year were you born? Wu Wei said his birth date.
She rushed and said, okay, you will be better than the vice chairman in the future, you have everything after the age of 55, and someone will give you whatever you lack at home.
Wu Wei smiled very naturally, thank you for the old man's auspicious words.
And she asked, What is thy daughter-in-law?
Wu Wei replied, it is a monkey.
She thought about it for a while, and said, the sheep and monkeys originally offended each other, but your daughter-in-law is a red-haired monkey, and the two of you are a festive marriage match. At this time, she saw a young woman walking in outside the door, so she called out and said, "This person is looking for your leader."
The woman said to Wu Wei, please come with me. Wu Wei followed her into her own office, and after giving up her seat, she smiled and said, Introduce yourself, my name is Liu Min, and I am in charge of organizational work in the party, and the vice chairman asked me to talk to you. Then he took out a pen and a notebook, asked Wu Wei some information, and sure enough, he asked, why do you want to join this party? Wu Wei replied according to Minister Wang's instructions, and the others replied casually. After talking about farewell, Liu Min said that there will be more opportunities for contact in the future. Wu Wei walked to the window of the mailroom and specially greeted the old woman, thank you old man!
Wu Wei's matter finally failed because of the internal interference of that party.
Mei Hong later told Wu Wei that Minister Wang had been on the phone with the chairman of the party in the province for two hours that day for your business, but he just wouldn't let go. Later, the people of that party in the city regretted your performance on the CPPCC stage, and I heard their discussions, and said to them very unceremoniously, so I don't blame you for your lack of eyesight!
