"Xiao Ding, what are you still doing? Hurry up and call someone. Liu Zhenhua complained to Ding Yachuan in a low voice, and then introduced the two heavyweight visitors to him, "This is our mayor, and this one is the director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission!" ”

Ding Yachuan still hasn't come back to his senses, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Mayor Guan, hello Director Ji!" ”

"Xiaoding, don't be restrained, come, sit down and talk." Guan Zhongming had a warm smile on his face and beckoned to him.

Ding Yachuan sat down beside the mayor in response, still a little apprehensive, not knowing why Director Liu and the two great gods were looking for him.

Guan Zhongming glanced at him lightly. Although Ding Yachuan sat down, his waist was still meticulously straight, and half of his buttocks sat motionless on the edge of the chair, supporting his body with his legs. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and my impression of Ding Yachuan was greatly reduced. I had heard that the helmsman of the Qinglan Club was a young talent, but he didn't expect to see it like this today, which suddenly made him feel a little bored, and waved his hand to Director Ji beside him, "Old Ji, you can tell Xiao Ding about it!" After saying that, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Lao Ji is an old man who has been up and down in officialdom for most of his life, how can he not feel the change in the mayor's attitude from front to back? The mind immediately set the tone for the rest of the conversation.

"Xiao Ding, I heard Director Liu say that you are quite capable, and the Qingshan Basketball Foundation and the Blue Club Sporting Goods Company are all from your handiwork. Can you tell us how you came up with the idea to do these things in the first place? ”

"Hey, how can Director Liu say it so godly, I'm just running errands." Ding Yachuan said modestly, which provoked Guan Zhongming, who was sitting quietly on the side, couldn't help frowning slightly.

Of course, Ding Yachuan couldn't capture this detail, he thought that the two big leaders came here this time to learn about the foundation and the sporting goods company, so he continued:

"In fact, our original idea was to set up a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting the development of youth basketball in Tsingshan. In Qingshan City, basketball has become a part of people's lives, and many teenagers and children are actively participating in this sport. However, the conditions of each person and each team are different. We understand that many non-governmental teams are facing disbandment due to financial difficulties, and there are many talented young players who have had to give up their favorite sport because of family conditions. That's why we set up this foundation to help these teams and players so that they can achieve their dreams with peace of mind. ”

Ding Yachuan said in an orderly manner, Lao Ji nodded after hearing this, and asked, "What about the sporting goods company?" What is the situation? ”

"Heh," Ding Yachuan smiled ashamedly, and then continued: "Originally, we didn't plan to carry out any profit-making projects, after all, the foundation itself is a public welfare undertaking. However, after we held a charity sale of jerseys, we saw that there was a business opportunity to generate sustainable profits for our fund by dealing in sporting goods. It just so happened that at this time, two factories that were about to close down came to ask for help, so there was a sporting goods company that was established later...... However, Director Ji, at this point, I can assure you that the purpose of our establishment of this company is not to seek personal gain from it. We still haven't forgotten the original intention of developing the basketball industry......"

"The basketball industry?" When Guan Zhongming heard this, he half-opened his eyes and said, "Xiaoding, you can tell us about this 'basketball industry' in detail!" ”

"Oh, that's the mayor." Ding Yachuan's half-squatting legs were a little numb, and he adjusted his sitting posture slightly, "In our Qingshan, the earliest prototype of the basketball industry is limited to some private education and training institutions. However, through our operation during this period, we have gradually explored other related market needs, such as the market for fans, the market for sporting goods, and so on. Now our sporting goods company has developed a series of products such as balls, clothing, equipment, etc., which have been sold to various cities across the country through the network, and will continue to develop more and more comprehensive product lines in the future. ”

"With the benign development of these basketball industries and a solid economic foundation for us, we can increase our efforts to support basketball, and we in Qingshan City can cultivate more outstanding basketball players. In addition, the video of our Qingshan Cup League has been continuously spread on the Internet, and we have agreed with the Provincial Sports Commission to sponsor the provincial league for five consecutive years. Maybe it won't be long before basketball becomes a new business card of our Qingshan City! The more Ding Yachuan spoke, the more engaged he became, and Guan Zhongming also sat up straight unconsciously, and with his words, his eyes gradually became hot.

"What a new business card!" Guan Zhongming couldn't help but praise, and the smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face again, "I won't tell you, this time we came to you because we were interested in the 'basketball industry' you said." As you know, our city of Aoyama used to be glorious because of its developed small handicraft industry, but in recent years, it has missed the Internet era, which has led to economic decline, and it is difficult to catch up with the pace of the whole country halfway. But fortunately, the trend of market segmentation is becoming more and more obvious. Take Binzhou City, which is adjacent to us, for example, which specializes in the leather shoe market and now has its own city brand. And we in Qingshan City can also take the basketball industry as an opportunity to revitalize the city's economy! ”

Ding Yachuan was also moved by Mayor Guan's passionate speech, and he said excitedly: "Yes, we in Qingshan City have this foundation. There are many workshops and factories in the private sector that are struggling to find their way. If they can transform and devote themselves to the basketball industry together, it will be a production force that should not be underestimated! ”

"Good! Good! Good! Guan Zhongming laughed heartily three times, and praised Lao Liu, who was waiting on the side: "Director Liu, you have done a good job in basketball development, and you have a better vision in identifying and selecting people!" This Comrade Xiao Ding is very good! ”

Liu Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said modestly: "Xiaoding, this kid is just a little slow to heat, don't blame him." ”

"Huh~. How can I blame such a talent, it's too late for me to recruit! Lao Ji, did you bring that watch? Let Ding fill it in! ”

Seeing that Mayor Guan was in a good mood again, Lao Ji also showed a smile on his face, took out a form from the briefcase in his hand, and handed it to Ding Yachuan kindly, "Xiao Ding, come, you can fill out this form!" ”

Ding Yachuan took it in his hand and saw that it was a form called "Qingshan City Talent Introduction Application Form", the content of which was similar to the resume submitted when he was looking for a job before, but there were some more explanations related to benefits at the bottom of the form. He was a little puzzled, and looked up at Director Ji, "Director Ji, ...... are you?" ”

Director Ji smiled: "Hey, Xiaoding, this is just a process that must be followed, you just fill out the form, and I will arrange the personnel transfer in the future." ”

Seeing that Ding Yachuan still looked uncertain, he had no choice but to continue to explain: "Our Qingshan Municipal Government wants to set up a 'leading group for industrial structure adjustment', the purpose of which is to transform and upgrade the backward industries that were originally formed in the city. Moreover, the preliminary direction set by the municipal party committee is to develop basketball-related industries, so as to achieve the purpose of economic transformation of the entire city. And you are a pioneer in this field, so the municipal party committee has decided to recruit you to join us and become a member of our leadership group! ”

"Ah, how can this work?" Ding Yachuan instinctively refused, "I still have a job at the foundation, I really can't leave, Director Ji." ”

Director Ji laughed and said: "Xiaoding, don't fool me, Lao Liu told us, now that the foundation and the sporting goods company are in charge of your apprentices, how can you still have any work that you can't get rid of?" This is also a good opportunity for you to become a civil servant, so you should take advantage of it! ”

Ding Yachuan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Thank you for the kindness of the two leaders, I personally have some special reasons, and I really can't accept it." ”

"Hmph." Guan Zhongming snorted coldly, "Your so-called special reason is because you want to accompany your son, right?" Xiao Ding, in this regard, your thinking is a little narrow-minded! In ancient times, there was the lofty ambition of General Huo Quai's 'the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home', and today there are countless reformers who have sacrificed their personal interests for the development of the motherland. If you have a good ability, why don't you want to give full play to it and contribute to the country and society? ”

Seeing that Mayor Guan made his words clear, Ding Yachuan simply let go, "Mayor Guan, everyone has their own ambitions, in my eyes, accompanying my son is the most important career in my life, so don't force it anymore." What's more, as the old saying goes, 'if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world', if I take care of family affairs, won't it also help the country and society? ”

"You! It's just a strong word! Guan Zhongming got up abruptly, didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and waved his sleeves out of the office.

Director Ji also stood up and said to Director Liu: "You explain the reason clearly to this guy again." With such a big person, why can't he tell the difference between the light and the heavy? After speaking, he didn't look at Ding Yachuan again, and chased after Mayor Guan.

After the two leaders left, Director Liu stared at Ding Yachuan for a long time, and said bitterly: "Xiao Ding, you ......"

Ding Yachuan interrupted him with a smile, "Director Liu, don't talk about it. I know that my choice seems very selfish, and what I said just now is also a bit pretentious, if you let me go back and think about it, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation! After saying that, he got up and left the office of the Basketball Association.

Walking out the door, the smile on Ding Yachuan's face was long gone. In fact, he is also very entangled in his heart, whether he is for everyone or Gu Xiaojia, and most people will definitely choose the former without hesitation. But in comparison, he didn't want to see Xiao Xuan's disappointed and lonely eyes!

Thinking about it all the way, Ding Yachuan didn't know how he drove the car home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife and son sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"Director Liu, is there anything to do with you? Why did you come back with such an ugly face? His wife saw that he had something on his mind and asked with concern.

Ding Yachuan barely squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, just chatted casually for a while." Oh yes, you don't need to call me for dinner, I suddenly feel a little tired and go to sleep for a while. ”

After saying that, he walked into the bedroom and plunged into the bed.

After a while, he heard the sound of "tap, tap, step" footsteps. Although the footsteps were very light, Ding Yachuan still made it clear that it was his son who was wearing large slippers who walked into the bedroom.

The son walked up to him and stopped, without making any more sound, as if he was breathing carefully.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you doing?" Ding Yachuan was still covered in the pillow and asked in a sullen voice.

Ding Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Dad, it turns out that you haven't fallen asleep yet?" Do you have something on your mind? ”

Ding Yachuan turned over and hugged his son, and Xiao Xuan also obediently lay on his chest.

"Son, dad is encountering a more difficult multiple-choice question."

Xiao Xuan was still so naïve, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "So that's the case! What is the question? Chinese or Math? You ask me, I'm the best at multiple-choice questions! ”

Ding Yachuan sighed and asked, "Let me ask you, if you sacrifice one person, but make more people happy, what would you choose?" ”

Xiao Xuan said without hesitation: "Of course I chose to sacrifice!" The teacher has told us many stories of heroes, and without their sacrifices, we would not have the good life we have now! I'm going to be a hero! ”

"Then if it's Dad who wants to make more people happy, there is no way to accompany you. Would you still choose to do so? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Xuan was silent, and it was a long time before he spoke, "If that's the case, I'll still support Dad to be that hero!" ”

Ding Yachuan smiled and touched his little head, "Okay, Dad knows, you go out to find Mom, I want to sleep for a while." ”

Ding Xiaoxuan obediently got up from his father and walked out of the bedroom "kicking and tapping".

The more sensible his son is, the more difficult it is for Ding Yachuan to let go of his company. He began a new round of entanglement. In the entanglement, he actually fell asleep.

He had a dream. In the dream, his limbs were tied with ropes, and on the other side of the ropes, there were four horses running in different directions.

Xiao Xuan was riding on one of the horses, he seemed a little flustered, he wanted to control the fierce horse under his crotch, and kept crying: "Dad, Dad, how can you make it stop, I don't want it to run any further, I support you!" You're going to be a big hero! ”

The other horse was riding Mayor Guan, who spurred his horse and turned around and asked, "Comrade Xiaoding, you make a decision quickly, there are many enterprises waiting for us to help them in Qingshan!" ”

Ding Yachuan turned his head abruptly and found that the other two horses were Chen Lusen and Zhou Lijun, who were also shouting: "Brother Ding (master), come back quickly, the foundation and the company have a lot of things waiting for you to deal with!" ”

The four horses kept pulling his body like this, but he actually had a strange thought in his dream: Is this the legendary five horses divided, and where did one of the horses go? Why don't I feel any pain at all?

When I looked down, I found that my arms and legs had been pulled very long, but I just kept pulling!

He was frightened and wanted to shout, but he couldn't do it like the previous dream, and he could only let the four horses stretch his limbs infinitely in despair.

"Whew-" Ding Yachuan sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, and found that his body was soaked with sweat. He looked up out the window, and it was already completely dark. He shook his head vigorously to sober himself up, dragged his heavy body and walked out of the bedroom.

His wife was accompanying Xiao Xuan to write her summer vacation homework at the dining table, and Ding Yachuan didn't have the strength to greet them, so he just nodded to them and walked into the study.

Ding Yachuan smoked two cigarettes in succession in the study before he eased up. At this time, he was already soberly aware that no matter which side he chose, he would feel entangled. So he made a decision that he had to come up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds!
