Chapter 159: Inexplicably became an official

The current president of the United States is, of course, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In last year's election, Roosevelt won without any suspense, and at the beginning of the year, he was already inaugurated as the president of the United States.

After the new president takes office, the US minister, Nelson Jensen, of course, will return to the United States to report on his duties. If the new president is satisfied with Jensen's work, he can continue to stay in China, and may even be promoted, but if the new president is not satisfied with him, then the minister to China and the head of Far Eastern affairs will probably have to be replaced.

Nelson Jensen's return to China after his debriefing shows that President Roosevelt was still satisfied with his work. Historically, after Jensen's debriefing, it won't be long before his position will change from Minister Plenipotentiary to Ambassador Plenipotentiary, although the power is still about the same, but the position is equivalent to a notch.

During his stay in New York, Chen Qiang was introduced by Mr. Situ of Hongmen, and met Roosevelt, who was still the governor of New York, and participated in some Roosevelt election campaigns. And under Chen Qiang's deliberate friendship, he and Roosevelt also established a very good friendship, so when Nelson Jensen returned to the United States to report on his duties, Roosevelt mentioned Chen Qiang, and by the way, Jeanssen asked Jensen to say hello to Chen Qiang, and then symbolically said some words of invitation.

In fact, apart from Chen Qiang, Roosevelt did not know several Chinese.

Roosevelt's legs were inconvenient, and traveling abroad was a troublesome thing for him, and it was impossible for him to come to China to meet Chinese celebrities. Moreover, Roosevelt was born in the Democratic Party, and before that, the Republican Party had been in power for 12 consecutive years, and the people who approached the Chinese government were all Republican-born officials, so Roosevelt, who was born in the Democratic Party, was not familiar with Chinese diplomats.

However, Roosevelt is now the president of the United States, and when he received Nelson Jensen, the minister to China, he naturally had to show that he had some understanding of China, otherwise how could he show his strength as a president of the United States. Just imagine, if I, the president of the United States, don't know anything about the content of officials' debriefings, then how can I be president? So if you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand!

In fact, many leaders are like this, when their subordinates report things, even if they don't understand it at all, they must pretend to understand, first, to maintain the majesty of the leader, don't let their subordinates say that the leader is a layman; Second, I also told my subordinates that I also know something, so don't deceive me as a leader.

Roosevelt had just been inaugurated as president of the United States in 1933, and now he was busy implementing his new policy to get the United States out of the economic crisis. But Roosevelt still had to show that he had some understanding of China, so he simply pushed Chen Qiang out as a shield, saying that he had a good relationship with Chen Qiang, so that he seemed to know something about China.

And the U.S. Minister to China, Nelson Jensen, is a typical politician, he can marry the granddaughter of the Senate for the sake of his career, this kind of person is naturally the kind of person who is very good at climbing up, and if he has the opportunity to confront the president, of course, he will not let it go. Roosevelt's casual remark of "Say hello to Chen Qiang on my behalf" became an order that must be resolutely carried out when he arrived at Minister Jensen.

After Minister Jensen returned from his debriefing, he happened to meet the National Games held by the Republic of China, and Jensen pondered that Chen Qiang would definitely come to participate, so there was the scene where Jensen wanted to see Chen Qiang before.

It's just that those government officials are probably used to being bullied by foreigners, and they are all persecuted and delusional, thinking that Minister Jensen came to the door, there must be no good thing, and Chen Qiang offended the American minister, and then couldn't help but say it, so he asked Chen Qiang to apologize and make amends.

This is also a helpless thing, a person who has been kneeling for a long time, even if someone brings him a chair, he will not sit, but will habitually kneel on the chair.

The American Minister Jensen and Chen Qiang were chatting there, and Minister Song next to him had eyes as wide as light bulbs.

"Didn't the U.S. minister come to ask the teacher for guilt?"

"Greetings from the President of the United States?"

"Chen Qiang still knows the President of the United States?

"How did Chen Qiang know the President of the United States?"

At this time, Minister Song is probably like the black man's question mark emoji.

However, in the next second, Minister Song had a sense of frustration and a trace of jealousy in his heart.

"I, the Secretary of the Treasury, am also an important member of the National High Court, but I don't know the President of the United States, how can you know the President of the United States as an athlete!"

……

After seeing off the American Minister Jensen, Minister Song stopped Chen Qiang.

"Chen Qiang, do you know Mr. Roosevelt, the president of the United States?" Minister Song asked directly.

Chen Qiang nodded and replied, "Yes, I met him when I was in the United States. ”

"How is your friendship with Mr. Roosevelt?" Minister Song then asked.

"Franklin is kind of a mentor to me, we often eat together, and sometimes when Franklin goes out to events, he will call me along." Chen Qiang said.

At this time, Chen Qiang had already seen what was going on, this important member of the Republic of China government must be trying to collude with the President of the United States, so why don't Chen Qiang hurry up and use Roosevelt to come to the fox and fake the tiger!

So Chen Qiang was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, he could blow as much as he could, and tried to blow his relationship with Roosevelt as intimately, so he almost said goodbye to Roosevelt. Chen Qiang's title for Roosevelt was also deliberately changed to "Franklin".

Minister Song has been in the United States for many years, so he naturally knows the American culture very well, and he knows that when Americans are more familiar with each other, they will call each other by their first name instead of their last name.

"This Chen Qiang actually called President Roosevelt Franklin directly, it seems that the relationship between them should be very good, if not brothers, at least they are friends! Being able to make friends with the President of the United States, this Chen Qiang is not an ordinary athlete! ”

At this moment, Chen Qiang suddenly looked tall in the eyes of Minister Song.

……

Minister Song returned with a depressed face, ready to report the situation to several bigwigs.

The reason why Minister Song was depressed was that he felt that Chen Qiang had compared himself.

Minister Song has studied in the United States for many years, and has been holding important positions after returning to China, coupled with the prominent status of the Song family, so he knows many important people in the American business circle. However, the new president of the United States, Minister Song did not know.

As a result, Chen Qiang knew the President of the United States, and it seemed that he had an irreversible relationship, and the sense of superiority in Minister Song's heart was shattered at once.

The government bigwigs noticed that Minister Song's face was depressed, and they thought that the matter had not been done, or that the American Minister Jensen had made some excessive demands.

"I'm not going to kill someone!"

"If the U.S. minister has to ask for Chen Qiang's life, we can't give it away, we can't offend the United States for an athlete!"

"Hey, Chen Qiang, this young man is quite pitiful, even if he sacrificed his life for the country!"

The bigwigs have different thoughts.

Minister Song took a deep breath and reported the situation to the bigwigs.

"Minister Jensen is looking for Chen Qiang to convey the greetings of Mr. Roosevelt, President of the United States." Minister Song said quite weakly.

"Convey the greetings of the President of the United States? To whom? "Someone hasn't reacted yet.

"Yes to Chen Qiang." Minister Song continued a little angrily: "When Minister Jensen returned to the United States to report on his work, the President of the United States once expressed his greetings to Chen Qiang, and Minister Jensen came to convey it on purpose. In addition, the President of the United States also invited Chen Qiang to visit the United States, and he will personally receive him. ”

Although several bigwigs present are in high positions and are used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, they still can't help but show surprised expressions at this time.

The dignified President of the United States, who is an unattainable figure, came to greet a Chinese athlete, which is simply incredible in the eyes of all the bigwigs!

"Are athletes so popular in the United States? Even the president of the United States is going to provide for them? Someone asked softly.

Minister Song then explained: "It's not that athletes are popular in the United States, but that Chen Qiang has known the President of the United States for a long time!" ”

"Really? Chen Qiang is an athlete, can he have a relationship with the President of the United States? Someone asked puzzled.

Minister Song had no choice but to continue: "I inquired, when Roosevelt was not elected president of the United States, Chen Qiang already knew him, and it is said that the two had a good relationship, often ate together, and attended some activities, saying that they could even be recruited in the newspapers." ”

As soon as Minister Song's words came out, several bigwigs fell into silence.

In fact, these bigwigs also have some bad feelings in their hearts, they are all in important positions and have great power, but they don't know the President of the United States, why does Chen Qiang, a powerless athlete, know the President of the United States, and he has a good relationship with the President of the United States! Is there any reason for this!

What an important political capital to have a good relationship with the new president of the United States! With this alone, how much more power can you have in the national government! Why can't such a good thing be my turn? I'm so envious! I'm so jealous! My heart is so sour!

Suddenly, someone said: "I think that Chen Qiang has maintained a good relationship with US President Roosevelt, which is also a good thing, maybe he will be able to use it in the future." ”

It was Chairman Lin who spoke, he was an old man during the Xingzhonghui period, and he was also highly respected in Nanjing, so his words naturally carried a lot of weight.

"Chairman Lin is right, it is obviously a good thing for us to be able to climb the relationship with the President of the United States." Someone agreed.

"This Chen Qiang shouldn't have an official position yet, right?" The big guy finally asked.

Chen Qiang was still a student and is now studying at Nankai University in Tianjin. The secretary next to him reported.

The big guy nodded, and then said: "You can give him some false positions first, so that when we can use him, it will be justified!" ”

……

For the bigwigs and high-level officials of these national governments, no matter how many Olympic gold medals Chen Qiang wins and breaks more world records, it may not be as important as having a good relationship with the US president.

As mentioned before, the president's Roosevelt did not know a few Chinese, and the government was the same, and no one in the top of the government knew Roosevelt.

The Republican Party has been in power in the United States for 12 consecutive years, so the diplomats in the national government have always dealt with the Republicans, and they don't pay attention to the Democrats, not to mention that Roosevelt is still a disabled person, and maybe the diplomats in the national government never thought that a disabled person could be elected president.

Who knew that Roosevelt won the final victory, the American political arena completed the rotation of political parties, and the government of the Republic of China was also confused.

Who is this cripple? I don't know! I haven't dealt with him before!

The other officials in the White House have all changed, and all the politicians of the Republican Party have yo-yos, and they have all become Democratic Party members, and they used to be busy with the big sword for dinner and gifts!

So at this time, Chen Qiang's personal concern with Roosevelt was particularly precious in the eyes of the government bigwigs.

Chen Qiang, as the world's No. 1 athlete, is famous, but this can't get into the eyes of the government bigwigs, even if an athlete is famous, what's the use?

But Chen Qiang, as a friend of US President Roosevelt, is definitely worth the attention of the bigwigs.

……

The National Games will be held for ten days, so the schedule is much easier than the North China Games, and Chen Qiang has two or three games a day.

After the competition, Chen Qiang would come to the shop rented by Guangming Bookstore to sign and sell books.

After all, this is the National Games, and Chen Qiang, the world's No. 1 athlete, signs and sells books here, which is naturally particularly appropriate, so there is a long queue outside the Guangming Bookstore, and many people buy books, perhaps just to see what Chen Qiang looks like up close.

Although selling books took Chen Qiang some energy, it did not delay the game, the level of domestic athletes is far inferior to Chen Qiang, and there is no suspense for Chen Qiang to win the championship.

And every time Chen Qiang wins a championship, it will also bring a wave of popularity to Chen Qiang, which makes his autobiography sales increase greatly.

In the blink of an eye, this National Games is also coming to an end.

……

Hao Gengsheng found Chen Qiang again, and this time, Hao Gengsheng specially invited Chen Qiang to his office.

Hao Gengsheng is now a sports inspector at the Sports Committee of the Ministry of Education, in charge of sports administration across the country.

I saw Hao Gengsheng pouring a cup of tea for Chen Qiang with a smile on his face.

"Inspector Hao, this National Games is almost over, you should be very busy now, why do you still have time to invite me to be a guest?" Chen Qiang asked.

Chen Qiang and Hao Gengsheng are also more familiar, so they speak more casually.

"There is good news. And guess what? Hao Gengsheng sold it first.

"Send me money?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Pretty much." Hao Gengsheng took several pieces of paper from the table, handed the first one to Chen Qiang, and then said: "This is a letter of recommendation sent by the Ministry of Education, waiting for the seal of the Sports Association." ”

Chen Qiang took the letter of recommendation and saw that it was a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of Education recommending him to join the Chinese Sports Association and serve as a member.

"The Ministry of Education wants to recommend me to serve as a member of the Chinese Sports Association?" Chen Qiang asked in some surprise.

"Yes, a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of Education, the Association will definitely stamp it." Hao Gengsheng said.

"You don't have to pay dues, do you?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"No, you don't." Hao Gengsheng smiled helplessly, handed another piece of paper to Chen Qiang, and continued: "This is a letter of appointment, which has been approved by the Ministry of Education. ”

Chen Qiang took the second piece of paper and looked down to see that this time it was the Ministry of Education that appointed Chen Qiang as a member of the Sports Committee.

The Sports Commission is one of the institutions under the Ministry of Education, and Hao Gengsheng, the Physical Education Inspector, is equivalent to the head of the Sports Commission.

"With just such a piece of paper, I have another status as a member of the sports committee?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Don't underestimate this piece of paper, you, a member of the Sports Committee, although you don't have any rights, but you are also a staff member of the Ministry of Education, accounting for the establishment of public servants, and Nanjing will pay you a salary." Hao Gengsheng said.

"It's a good thing to have money!" When Chen Qiang heard that there was a salary, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then Chen Qiang then asked, "Then do I want to work here with you in the future?" ”

"Don't use it for the time being, but you can do it if you want to, I happen to be short of chores here, you run fast, and it won't delay you to send a letter or something." Hao Gengsheng teased, and then handed another piece of paper to Chen Qiang.

"What is this?" Chen Qiang took a look and found that this time it was another letter of appointment.

"Textbook Compilation Office of the Department of General Education of the Ministry of Education?" Chen Qiang asked.

"It's a place where textbooks are compiled." Hao Gengsheng explained: "The Ministry of Education decided to compile a set of physical education textbooks, so you added your name to the textbook compilation office, which is different from the two committee members just now, those two are fictitious positions, this is a real job." ”

"Do you get paid too?" Chen Qiang asked.

"The members of the Sports Committee and the Textbook Compilation Office are paid on a one-share basis, but if you actually work in the Textbook Compilation Office, you will have an additional allowance." Hao Gengsheng thought for a while, and then said: "You are an appointing officer, and the allowance must be much higher than that of ordinary civil servants. ”

According to the Regulations on the Appointment of Civil Servants promulgated by the Nanjing government, officials in the Republic of China period were appointed by the government, recommended officials and appointed officials. Recommending officers can only be awarded to public officials who have worked for more than seven years and have meritorious service; The appointee officer is awarded only those who have worked for more than five years and have performed well.

This is also a promotion mechanism for civil servants, which means that after five years of work, as long as the civil servant performs well, he can be mixed with an appointed officer.

In addition, some special talents do not need to refer to these promotion mechanisms. For example, returnees from foreign universities can be directly appointed as junior officers, while graduates from domestic universities can also be directly appointed as recommending officers.

It is equivalent to ten years of service for international students to become civil servants, and seven years for domestic college students to become civil servants, which sounds quite attractive. However, college students were scarce in that era, and returnees were all children of high-ranking officials and noble families.

Chen Qiang has not yet graduated from university, so the Ministry of Education only gave him an appointment officer.

Chen Qiang held the letter of appointment in his hand, and involuntarily sighed softly: "This is inexplicable, and he will become an official!" ”

Write until the early hours of the morning.,The update time has finally been adjusted back.,If you have a monthly pass and a recommended ticket.,Give me one.,Thank you!
