A week later, the winter games of Suqi Primary School began in a lively atmosphere of colorful flags and gongs and drums.

Standing on the rostrum, looking at the neat squares on the playground, Principal Xie Changqing was extremely happy. He didn't expect that his school's winter sports meeting would usher in the personal presence of the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, which was a major event that Suqi Primary School had never had.

What a lot of face this is, Xie Changqing was so happy that his face was flushed, and it seemed that even the wrinkles on his forehead were much less. He stood on the rostrum, although the position was not very good, but at this time it did not prevent him from stretching his heart at all.

While he was full of ambition, he remembered the big thing a few days ago??

At that time, after Leng Binghan answered the phone in his office, he looked at the depressed Xie Changqing and said very casually: "Uncle Xie, our school's winter sports meeting is so good, I think, you can invite the leaders of the city to come and see." ”

At that time, Xie Changqing's eyes lit up, but then he sighed and said: "Of course that's good, but it's not easy to say, the city leaders are so busy, how can they come to a township center school like ours?" ”

"Not necessarily, anything is possible!" Leng Binghan smiled slyly, and shamelessly stole the advertising slogan of a certain brand in later generations, and left in a very chic manner.

Leng Binghan left, but his words made Xie Changqing's heart itch: What does this Leng Binghan mean by this, what can he do? After all, he is the mayor's godson, his identity is not ordinary, if there are really city leaders who condescend to attend the school's sports meeting, then it will be okay, not to mention his own face, even Su Qi Primary School can be infinitely beautiful because of this. Such an achievement will definitely fill in a strong stroke on his resume. I have worked hard all my life, and when I retire, it is not in vain to be able to be in such a limelight.

But is this really possible? That's a city leader, not to mention a township school like Suqi Primary School, even if it is a small school in Changfu, I'm afraid it won't be able to enjoy such an honor.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts swirled around in his mind, disturbing his mind. People are often like this, it is easy to do without expectations, but once they have some expectations in their hearts, or even extravagant hopes, they are easy to be dissatisfied with the status quo and suffer from gains and losses.

This made Xie Changqing fidgety for several days, every time the phone rang, he always hoped that it was a notice that his superiors came to inspect and attend the sports meeting, but he was also repeatedly disappointed, and in the end, as the school sports meeting was approaching, he was a little desperate, and even began to laugh at himself, how could he take a child's words to heart? Even if this child's identity is extraordinary and his performance is outstanding, he is a child after all, can he take the words of a child seriously? .

On the first day of the school's winter games, Xie Changqing almost forgot about this matter, and suddenly the phone rang, and he grabbed the phone with some interest, and Wang Dinghua, deputy director of the District Education Commission, was very happy and happy: "Old Xie, now you old man is going to have a treat." ”

Wang Dinghua is a few years younger than Xie Changqing, but the official fortune is much better than Xie Changqing, for decades, Xie Changqing is only mixed with the principal of a township central primary school, and he does not even have a stock-level establishment, and Wang Dinghua gave up writing to enter politics as early as ten years ago, after years of hard work, he is now also the deputy director of the district education commission, although it is far less than those departments with real power, he is still a deputy, but the size is also a stock-level cadre. The relationship between the two has always been good, and there are some intimate relationships, so they often come and go, and they talk to each other very casually.

As soon as he heard that it was Wang Dinghua, Xie Changqing was a little happy and a little disappointed, leaned back, and said with a relaxed expression: "Why, why do you think about the five-year-old bottle of Qionglu jade liquid (local famous wine) in my house every day, and I still think about the sauce donkey meat in your house!" ”

"Haha!" Wang Dinghua on the other end of the phone laughed and said: "Say that you are old, you are really old, and you still sauce donkey meat, you ate it last time, and you are still thinking about it?" I can tell you, I have good news here, but I won't tell you if I don't bring your bottle of Qionglu jade liquid to you. ”

"What good news can you have? Did we apply for a grant come down or do we raise our salaries? But it seems that you can't control these things, right? I can tell you, don't make up your mind to deceive my Qionglu jade liquid, this is my son's filial piety, and I am reluctant to drink it myself! Xie Changqing was a little unimpressed.

Wang Dinghua smiled bitterly: "Why do you guys only know about appropriations and salary adjustments all day long?" It's all in the eyes of money, I think you are not only old-fashioned, but also wealthy. ”

"What good news could there be but money?" Xie Changqing muttered helplessly, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, a little excited, and his voice became excited, and said, "Is there really a leader who wants to come......"

"Huh?" Wang Dinghua was a little surprised: "Old Xie, do you know?" I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. However, according to the regulations, I still have to inform again: I just received a notice that tomorrow Director Sun of the Municipal Education Bureau will attend the opening ceremony of your school's sports meeting, and at that time, Secretary Leng of the District Party Committee and Mayor Yang Wen will attend together with the town party committee secretary, the mayor and other leaders and education committee personnel. Director Yu asked me to inform you as soon as possible to make corresponding preparations for the reception, and you must be meticulous and high-standard, and you can't make any mistakes. ”

"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to knock you, but I didn't know that you were more well-informed, and it seems that you have lost the soup again. Hey, hey, old thanks, are you listening? Hey......"

Xie Changqing on the other end of the phone was already stunned at this time, his face was flushed, trembling all over, he almost couldn't believe his ears, the kind of surprise that was overjoyed and gushed out from the bottom of his heart had already made his thoughts completely stopped, at that moment, except for Leng Binghan's smug and sly smile, he only felt that his mind was blank, the hustle and bustle of the world had gone away, and he had no consciousness, where could he hear what Wang Dinghua was saying behind him.

After a long time, he suddenly woke up, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, laughed and said to Wang Dinghua: "Haha, Dinghua, thank you for the news, I will definitely invite you, just that bottle of Qionglu jade liquid, but I have to wait until I finish this matter." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone and hurried out, he knew that Leng Binghan succeeded, and with a gesture, he helped himself usher in the most glorious moment of his life, which was just to repay his care for him. What other unknown things are there in this cold cold, and what kind of miracles can be created?

His heart was surging, but he couldn't take care of it for the time being, so many leaders came, this is the first time in the history of the school, it is the glory of the whole school, he wants to share this joy with the teachers and students of the school immediately, and he has to immediately notify the arrangements and make all kinds of preparations. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can't be messed up by the slightest mistake.

"This old Xie, alas!" Hearing the beeping sound in the microphone, Wang Dinghua looked at the phone in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and got up to make arrangements. The top boss is coming, although the main body is Su Qi Primary School, and most of the things are done by them, but as the competent agency, they also have a lot of things to prepare, and they have to check the school's preparations. If there is a problem in the school, it is a big deal that they will not be taken care of in the future, but if they have a problem here, then the career will have to come to an end in advance.

With Xie Changqing's hurried figure, the whole campus began to boil, and the cleaning, layout, and procurement of the big cleaning were all busy, making people turn their backs. But everyone is very excited, after all, such a big scene, it may be difficult to encounter once in a lifetime, not to mention, this is the glory of the whole school, everyone has face, therefore, everyone is very motivated, of course, the main force of labor is still students.

Early the next morning, Suqi Primary School was spotless and new. In the whole campus, colorful flags fluttered, banners were pulled everywhere, some welcomed leaders to come and inspect, some wished the games a complete success, and some carried forward the style of the game. The students dressed up in neat sky blue and old-fashioned sweatshirts with two white bars on their arms and legs, lined up in square formations according to their classes, neatly arranged on the playground. Hundreds of students held flowers on both sides of the school gate, ready to welcome the arrival of the leaders.

Students are a group of people who are often used by governments at all levels in China to hold welcome ceremonies, not to mention the schools that are blessed with them.

China's national conditions are like this, and the reception must be lively and grand. Maybe the leader can't see it, and he doesn't care, or maybe the leader emphasizes that everything should be simple, but the so-called etiquette is not to blame, and the people below would rather do it, let the leader criticize it face-to-face, and can't lose the etiquette and be complained by the leader.

After a long wait, at about 9:30, the leader's convoy finally slowly drove into the campus amid the children's immature and neat welcome.

Before the car stopped, Xie Changqing took a large group of people from the school's vice principal and director to greet him, and respectfully greeted Leng Yunfei and Sun Zhengping to get out of the car. This is not to say how flattering Xie Changqing is, under the official-based system, when the subordinates see the superiors, they will always be a little frightened, and they will feel that the other party is higher than themselves.

Leng Yunfei and Sun Zhengping seemed to have made an appointment, and they got off the bus almost at the same time with a tacit understanding, and at that moment, under the guidance of the teacher, the students of the school shouted out the slogan neatly: "Welcome, welcome", and the thousands of immature voices fused together, echoing in the campus, and there was still some momentum.

Although these forms are not very good on the table, they are still very interesting, Leng Yunfei and Sun Zhengping seem to be very satisfied, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

When Leng Yunfei and Sun Zhengping got off the car, the other leaders also got off one after another, and according to their respective belongings, they surrounded the two leaders.

After Xie Changqing and the school staff greeted them one by one, they guided the leaders to the rostrum to take their seats. At this time, Sun Zhengping paused for a moment, waited for Leng Yunfei to come up, and then walked side by side to the rostrum, and the other leaders followed behind them in their own order, not daring to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Don't look at this small detail, it is a university question in officialdom, and if you do something wrong, you may commit a taboo and break the rules, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other officials. If you want to continue to develop in your career, it can be said that it is even more difficult.

In terms of rank, Sun Zhengping and Leng Yunphong are both at the same level, and in fact, the position of the secretary of the district party committee who holds a lot of power is not comparable to that of a city bureau director. However, generally the top leader of the city bureau with real power does not look down on the top leader of the local government, after all, he is from the city bureau and is in the city, and the top leader of the local government is in the locality, not to mention, there are some things, the local government still has to be constrained by the city bureau, such as the allocation of funds, the inspection of various work, etc. If there is no strong backstage, the city bureau can bring great trouble to the local work.

However, among all the municipal bureaus, the Education Bureau is only average, and it is not comparable to the core departments such as the Public Procuratorate and the Law Bureau, the Finance Bureau, and the Audit Bureau. Moreover, Leng Yunping, secretary of the Suqi District Party Committee, is different from the top leaders in other places, and has an extremely special relationship with Mayor Wang Peiyuan, and his weight is completely different from others. Therefore, Sun Zhengping can put on a stand in front of others, but in front of Leng Yunping, he still doesn't dare to be disrespectful.

With the leaders seated, the opening ceremony of the 1985 Winter Games of Suqi Primary School officially kicked off.

First, leaders at all levels delivered enthusiastic speeches. The order of this speech was very difficult for the arranger at that time, Sun Zhengping and Leng Yunfei attended at the same time, so who should be the first to speak and who should be the second? The question of seats can also be arranged in the middle of the parallel, but as for the speech, it is impossible to let two people speak at the same time, right? But if it is not arranged, and the second speaker is dissatisfied, then it will be a big basket.

Fortunately, Leng Yunphong greeted him in advance and stopped speaking at this meeting, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the temperature in Changfu is not too low in winter, it is still a little unbearable to be outdoors for a long time, especially the children in sweatshirts, who have long been shivering.

Finally, the speeches of the leaders are over, and now it is the representatives of the student athletes who speak.

Of course, the student-athlete representative was cold, and although such an opportunity was not unusual, the principal Xie Changqing still did not hesitate to appoint him.

Leng Binghan, who was originally very helpless, finally felt the benefit of being a representative at this moment, that is, he spoke by himself, and he didn't have to listen to where others were chirping.

He didn't take the manuscript that the teacher had prepared for him earlier, strode forward, first quietly glanced at the dense students below, and then said loudly into the microphone:

"Dear leaders, teachers and students: at this beautiful moment full of unity, forge ahead and friendship atmosphere, we jointly ushered in the 1985 Winter Games of Suqi Central Primary School in Changfu City. On behalf of all the athletes of the school, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the holding of this sports meeting! I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, teachers and students who came to participate in the conference! ”

"Developing the spirit of sportsmanship and promoting the spirit of the group is of great significance to the cause of education in cultivating qualified personnel in the new century. Here, on behalf of the whole school movement, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the leaders and teachers who care about and support the school's sports work and make hard contributions to the school's sports work! ”

……

"This Winter Games is a grand event to increase understanding and strengthen friendship and unity. Here, on behalf of all athletes, I would like to swear an oath: obey the command, obey the referee, unite and forge ahead in the competition, and compete in style, level and results. ”

"Finally, I wish our school a complete success in the Winter Games!"

The whole speech lasted less than three minutes, concise and shocking, and after speaking, the whole school burst into thunderous applause, even warmer than the applause of all the leaders just now.

Compared with those speeches of the leaders who were empty, formal, and time-wasting, the cold speeches were very wonderful, which surprised and delighted everyone. Coupled with his prestige in school, everyone's popularity of him is naturally incomparable to others, even the leader. For children, they don't have such a strong fear of high-ranking leaders, and they don't know what official position they are.

"Teacher Li, the manuscript you wrote for Leng Binghan is good, very good, very good." Xie Changqing clapped his hands while looking at Leng Bing Han happily, and praised Li Zhixiong beside him.

"This ......" Li Zhixiong's face turned red and white for a while, and he was very embarrassed, but he didn't know how to tell the interested principal, in fact, what Leng Binghan said just now was not written for him at all. However, how can Leng Binghan say it so well? Even if his manuscript changed several times, and he tossed it until midnight last night, it was also empty talk, and it couldn't be compared with what Leng Binghan just said.

Looking at Leng Binghan's figure walking off the rostrum, Sun Zhengping leaned over and said to Leng Yunfei on the side with envy: "Secretary Yunping, your son is really amazing, if I have a daughter, I will definitely marry him, hehe." ”

Leng Yunfei has heard this kind of words many times, but he still said happily: "You all praise him too much, child, you can't praise him, the more you praise him, the more proud you are." That being said, the pride and pride in the words cannot be concealed in any way.

Sun Zhengping shook his head and sighed: "My son, tossing around all day long, and reading books is not good, if he can be half as good as Xiaohan, then I will be satisfied." ”

……

At this time, the two of them are no longer high-ranking officials, but just two ordinary parents, who can't finish their lives for the anxiety, sorrow, happiness, and joy of their children.

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world!
