Liu Ziguang suddenly smiled and said: "Old principal, with your younger brother, the problem of demolition of the school can be easily solved." ”

Principal Wang shook his head and said, "He is a Beijing official, and he can't manage local affairs." ”

Liu Ziguang lowered his voice and said, "Zheng Jiefu has already taken up the position of the leader of our provincial party committee in Jiangdong Province, don't you know yet?" ”

This time, Principal Wang didn't show any surprise, took a puff of cigarette and said, "It's time for Jeff to come down and exercise, it was his long-cherished wish when he was young to be in charge of the government and benefit the people." ”

Liu Ziguang did not give up, and induced: "Didn't you tell me last time that you should resolutely defend the school and resist the demolition, this is a good opportunity, you just need to say hello to your younger brother, let alone keep the school, even the demolition of our high soil slope is also possible." ”

Principal Wang shook his head: "No, Jeff has just taken up his new position, and he is not familiar with local government affairs, so it is not wise to make trouble for him at this time, besides, hasn't the demolition and relocation been stopped now, and it is better to solve the problem through normal organizational procedures." ”

Liu Ziguang knew the temper of the old principal, although the old man was usually very kind, but he was stubborn about the things he believed, so he stopped mentioning it, stood up and admired the bookshelves, the solid wood bookshelves that reached the ceiling were full of all kinds of classics, all wrapped in brown paper, the title and author of the book were written with a brush on the side, and the bookshelf was also classified and marked, it can be said that Principal Wang's home is simply a small library.

After admiring it, Liu Ziguang exclaimed: "Principal Wang, you really have a lot of inventory, and there are also a lot of treasures before liberation." ”

Talking about his collection of books, Principal Wang came up in spirit, took out a French-Chinese dictionary and showed off: "Look at this. ”

Liu Ziguang took the dictionary and looked at the back cover first, it was the 1917 edition of the Commercial Press, the price was one yuan and five corners, equivalent to a piece and a half of silver yuan, the price was not cheap at that time, and then looked at the title page, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the words "Xu Zhimo".

Liu Ziguang was dumbfounded and asked: "Didn't Xu Zhimo stay in the United States, I heard that his English is not bad, and he also worked as Tagore's translator, what are you doing learning French?" ”

Principal Wang smiled proudly: "Xu Zhimo has a wide range of studies in Japanese, English and French when he was studying at Peking University, in order to better read the original literature, this dictionary is left by him when he was studying, you look at this signature, the handwriting is still a little immature, and lacks the kind of wild uninhibited poet, you look at this one again." As he spoke, Principal Wang carefully took down another pamphlet from the bookshelf, and the brown paper cover read "A Night in Fei Lengcui".

"This is Xu Zhimo's second poetry collection, and the handwriting has the flavor of a real poet, you see." Open the title page, on which is written pen: "To my best friend Sanyu brother, Shima, 5.2.1927." ”

Seeing Liu Ziguang's puzzled expression, Principal Wang explained: "Sanyu is my father's character, he also founded radical publications back then, and had dealings with literati such as Xu Zhimo, Lu Xun, Liang Shiqiu, Yu Dafu, and Guo Moruo. This collection of poems was given to his father by Mr. Xu Zhimo. ”

Liu Ziguang's eyes were about to pop out, he didn't expect Principal Wang's family background to be so prominent, and Principal Wang's style and bones are inherited.

Principal Wang was very satisfied with the surprise shown by his students, he snuffed out the cigarette butt, touched the cigarette case was empty, took apart the cigarette sent by Liu Ziguang, lit one and smoked it, and praised it after just taking a puff: "This cigarette is good, soft and mellow, help me carry two next time." As he spoke, he took out fifty yuan and gave it to Liu Ziguang, adding: "People are old and have a bad memory, the money will be given to you first, and the savings will be forgotten after a while." ”

Liu Ziguang unceremoniously put away the money and said, "Principal Wang, you have spent so many years of your salary on this, these books are worth a lot of money." ”

Principal Wang swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog and said: "That's, this is my life's work, but the most valuable part of the collection is still Jeff helped me collect, after all, I am in a small place in Jiangbei City, the conditions are limited, for example, these original Russian editions, which Jeff helped me buy when he was a diplomat in the Soviet Union, and these French books, which were bought at the flea market by the Seine, these Dunhuang mural rubbings were copied from the British Museum, and this ...... This ......"

Hearing this, Liu Ziguang had a bottom in his heart, although the relationship between Secretary Zheng and Principal Wang was not very close, it must not be said that the relationship between the brothers was thin, and he could only say that he was a gentleman with a careful heart, not to mention anything else, just to say that the value of these books collected by Secretary Zheng for his brother is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine.

If you are an ordinary official, after you take office, you can't wait for the whole family to contract projects, resell land, and make a lot of money, but at the same time as their wealth, they also laid a curse for themselves.

As long as a book, a box of cigarettes, an old recliner and the afternoon sunshine are enough, plus the satisfaction of the peach and plum all over the world, it will be worth this life.

"With such a precious collection of books, you can't leave your cigarette all day long, and if you light it, it will be troublesome." Liu Ziguang quipped.

Principal Wang waved his hand indifferently: "No, these books are my lifeblood, I smoke very carefully, I can't burn them." ”

"It's better to pull a few sponsors, set up a library, ask you to be the director, and you also support some books, so that teenagers can have some spiritual food, so as not to go to the Internet café game room or something."

Hearing Liu Ziguang's words, Principal Wang's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the words and said, "Really? I've had this idea for a long time, you can't tease my old man. ”

Liu Ziguang smiled: "Look at what you said, I take it seriously." ”

……

After going back, Liu Ziguang and Li Kun carefully analyzed this matter, Secretary Zheng is a feudal official sent by the central government, and he must not be looked at from the eyes of ordinary people, it is right to work Principal Wang, but if you are not careful, it will be self-defeating, and what can be done will not be done.

After all, officialdom is not the same as the army, and the big open offended Uncle Guo, the old comrade-in-arms of Deputy Commander Luo of the Military Region, and the military's response was to be direct, rough, and effective, but officialdom is different, even if Principal Wang really went to say something to his younger brother who was a secretary, Secretary Zheng would not directly interfere in the local government affairs of Jiangbei City, let alone personally order a crackdown on a real estate company.

Officialdom pays attention to games, balance, and roundabouts, a simple-minded official will never go to such a high position, and then look at Secretary Zheng's resume, it is even more difficult step by step, ** child, unlimited scenery, but he lost his father at a young age, suffered humiliation, suffered hardships, received higher education, has experience in studying abroad and working abroad, has long served as a leader in various ministries and commissions of the central government, and his political achievements are quite outstanding, he is low-key and modest, but when necessary, he is sharp and resolute, can such a person be simple.

Red background, senior intellectual, has been working in the center of power for a long time, this person lacks only local political experience, at the beginning of the year the central government appointed, transferred some provincial and ministerial-level officials, the outside world repercussions, that this is the central government in the layout, from which can also judge the brilliance of Zheng Jiefu's career.

"Our two major goals, one is to solve the problem of high soil slopes, but to help Mayor Zhou solve the problem of turning positive, these two things originally seemed almost out of reach, but now it seems that it is not so difficult, because we have a secret weapon, Principal Wang." Li Kun turned the pen in his hand and said confidently.

"It's no fun, Principal Wang is reluctant to come forward, I don't want to cause trouble to his younger brother, even if we operate in a roundabout way and instigate Mayor Zhou to help Principal Wang set up a library, I'm afraid the purpose behind it will be seen through by Jeff Zheng at a glance, our little actions, little cleverness, in the eyes of these treacherous and cunning officials are pediatrics."

Li Kun smiled lightly, pointed at Liu Ziguang's brain and said: "Even if there is no such relationship, don't you help Principal Wang, as long as you have a clear conscience, let's do ours, don't make a big publicity, Zheng Jiefu naturally has his news channels, he should know, he will always know, do you understand?" ”

Liu Ziguang smiled: "Mr. Li, you know these officials very well." ”

Li Kun smiled like a flower, and said lightly: "My father also works in Dudu, and he has been used to it since he was a child. ”

Liu Ziguang then remembered that Li Kun is not a native of Jiangbei, she usually speaks standard Mandarin, and occasionally piggybacks on some accents, could it be that Li Kun also has a shocking family background?

"Yes, **Dad is a big official, right?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"In the capital, it is common for department-level cadres to ride bicycles or squeeze the subway to work, and my father is the kind of person who is ...... When I graduated from college and decided to follow Xiaocheng's father to Jiangbei Exhibition, I cut off relations with them......"

Liu Ziguang stood up, gently ** Li Kun's length, and comforted this resolute and lonely woman. After a long time, he finally made a decision that was very much in line with his characteristics.

"The library must be opened, and it is necessary to increase investment in the construction of a book building in Jiangbei City and even the entire Jiangdong Province, not only with a collection of books, but also with a bookstore, an electronic reading room, etc., to take this opportunity to change the bad reputation of Jiangbei City's cultural desert."

Li Kun showed a confused look, but quickly understood, and said happily: "I fully support you, this is not only a matter of helping President Wang fulfill his long-cherished wish, but also a public welfare undertaking that benefits the country and the people, and ...... It's not necessarily not profitable, let's say, where do you fancy it? We, Zhicheng Group, paid for it to be photographed. ”

"The resplendent old site, this place is big enough, grand enough, and the library can also stop the evil spirit left by Yan Jinlong and they don't need to be funded by the group, I will deal with this matter."

Liu Ziguang waved his hand, his bearing was extraordinary, Li Kun looked at him with a look in his eyes and couldn't help but be a little confused, this man is really a hero in his mind, and he is a big deal.
