Sheng An still harshly criticized Li Jiangbei.

As soon as Li Jiangbei and Chu Yuliang finished arguing, Chu Yuliang went to the CPPCC to complain to Feng Peiming, just in the past two days, Feng Peiming was in a mood for other things, Chu Yuliang added fuel and vinegar, and exaggerated the matter between Li Jiangbei and Wu Xiaoxiao several times, Feng Peiming couldn't ignore it. So Feng Peiming went to Sheng Anyi and asked the research team if they had nothing to do, if they were okay, let Li Jiangbei go back to Jiangda and teach with peace of mind, and don't do anything unreasonable under the guise of research.

"What reason do you have to quarrel with him, to mess with him?"

"He abused his power and retaliated." Li Jiangbei said stubbornly that he originally wanted to review his behavior, but when he heard that Chu Yuliang had come to Feng Peiming to complain, he became excited again.

"How to abuse power, how to retaliate? Isn't it possible for a party secretary to change the work of the comrades below? ”

"The problem is not so simple, he switched to the Qiang Zhongxing."

"What's wrong with Qiang Zhongxing, Qiang Zhongxing can't be replaced, he has an extra head than others?"

"This ......" Li Jiangbei made Sheng An still stammer, in front of Sheng An, his reaction speed was far less fast than in front of Chu Yuliang, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Chief, the problem is not so simple, there is a reason behind it." ”

"What's behind is not behind it, it's a very normal thing, why do you think so complicated? Also, he is the party secretary, and it is wrong for you to make a big fuss with him. Don't you understand the principles of organization? Everything should be done according to the procedure, and I want to remind you of such a simple truth? ”

"Chief's ......"

"Not really, isn't it? The criticism is wrong, isn't it? Privileged thinking is unacceptable, and reckless behavior is even more unacceptable, and in this way, you will bring greater resistance to the research work. I have already made a review to Comrade Peiming on your behalf, and you should reflect on it and make a review to the CPPCC when necessary. ”

Li Jiangbei stopped talking, and Sheng An still said these words to let him know what he was wrong. He was also very remorseful, why was he so impulsive that day? Thinking about it, it is still the matter of growing up and relocating that is working, Chu Yuliang still disagrees with the plan he proposed, he has grown up for so long, and he can't do a single practical thing, why not be in a hurry.

Sheng An went on to point out some of the problems in his recent work: impetuousness, impatience, emotionality, and excessive extremism in some places.

"Think about it, do you have any of these problems? Passion alone is not enough, you have to work steadfastly, contradictions have to be solved step by step, and you are anxious and angry when you encounter problems, which shows that you lack a way to solve the problem, and you lack confidence......"

Li Jiangbei made Sheng An still convinced, he still reviewed Sheng An, Sheng An still said: "There is no need for a review, just learn a lesson." By the way, you don't care about the matter of growing up and relocating, the suggestions and plans have been submitted to the relevant departments, and you and I don't want to take credit for what others do, after all, we are the research team. ”

Li Jiangbei was stunned, why did Sheng An still become so cautious now?

"Chief......" Li Jiangbei wanted to speak and stopped.

Sheng An still kept a straight face: "Member Li, this is not just my opinion, the comrades of the research team all hope that you can calm down and take the overall situation into account. ”

"Why don't I care about the big picture?" Li Jiangbei suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

Sheng An still didn't give him a chance to argue, and continued to say with a straight face: "It's not just you, but also Professor Lin of the Party School, you have been a little angry recently, this is not good, what about doing work, it's better to be calm." In addition, at all times, we must focus on the overall situation and the whole, and we must not lose the big because of the small. ”

These words made Li Jiangbei seem to understand, Sheng An still said this, clearly reminding him that the provincial party committee or the research team was starting from the overall situation, no wonder Chu Yuliang was a little anxious now.

He didn't dare to ask the doubts in his heart, but nodded mechanically. Sheng An still continued: "Principal Wu has returned to grow up, the cause of the fire has been investigated, she has been in a bad mood recently, hurry up and do her work, let her cheer up." ”

"This ......" Li Jiangbei hesitated again. Hearing this news, he should have been happy, but somehow, Chu Yuliang's words suddenly sounded in his ears.

Wu Xiaoxiao's mood was really low.

It was a dimly lit afternoon in late August, and the sky over Jinjiang was clouded by continuous rain. Although it was the height of summer, there was a hint of coolness in the air.

Jiangdu Garden, located at the mouth of the dam on the Yangtze River, has long been considered a wealthy residential area, and Wu Xiaoxiao owns a 200-square-meter house here. After her father's death, she sold his father's residence in Jinjiang and bought a new apartment here. Because she was afraid that the shadow of her father's failure would haunt her, and she was even more afraid that she would be indulging in grief and unable to extricate herself. However, changing rooms can't change everything, and after living here, she realizes that Missus is a stubborn demon, and the more you try to drive it away, the longer it will stay in your body.

Wu Xiaoxiao gently closed the photo album, she held her father's photo, and looked at it for two hours, in the changing light and shadow outside the window, the world is changing, and her heart is also changing.

After rounds of investigation and evidence collection, the fire accident investigation team finally came to the conclusion yesterday that the fire at Yangtze University was indeed caused by a circuit fire, and the investigation team ruled out the possibility of arson. The six teachers and students who were surveyed with her have returned to grow up, but where are they growing up?

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes were once again covered with tears.

She is now more and more fragile, more and more unable to withstand the wind and rain, the strong woman who was full of fantasy and hope when she first returned to China is gone, and she is becoming more and more like a weathered little woman.

She was so disappointed in herself.

The doorbell was ringing again and again, the phone had rang countless times, and she was too lazy to get up, too lazy to answer, too lazy to listen to the meaningless persuasion and encouragement of others. No one can help her.

This is a protracted war of attrition, whether it is investigation or evidence collection, and the seemingly reasonable questioning is all to consume her will and destroy her faith, the purpose is to make her no longer have confidence in growing up. It is no wonder that the vice-principals who are under investigation are angry with them, and they want to vent their dissatisfaction and complaints. Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of a meaningful conversation during the investigation, and it was still the leader's secretary who talked to her.

The secretary went around in a circle of bosses, and finally put his words into practice: "Jiangbei Business School can compensate your father's losses, and the dispute between the two parties can be resolved amicably, but you must admit that this is a contract dispute and nothing else is involved." ”

Wu Xiaoxiao was extremely confused, didn't she give in a long time ago? It has long ceased to claim any power, and even those losses do not hold out hope of recovery, why are they still not reconciled?

The secretary then said: "Actually, you are also being used, think about it, that Li Hanhe, and Li Jiangbei, what did they help your father?" Nothing helped. Your father asked them again and again for advice on how to grow up, but they all coldly refused. Now why do they want to jump out and have bad intentions, they want to borrow you or grow up to achieve their goals. ”

Isn't it investigating the fire? What do these things have to do with the fire, and why do you bring it up again and again to torture her?

It took two days for Wu Xiaoxiao to hear that the "tight spell" on the head of the elder had been cancelled, and the power that had been withdrawn by the relevant units had been implemented on the elder again, and the elder could enroll students and declare his major independently.

But she couldn't be happy, thinking about the twists and turns of the past two years, thinking about everything she had experienced in the past two years, she wondered, who can guarantee that this kind of backsliding will not happen again?

She opened a document, this material was commissioned by an appraisal agency before the fire, she wanted to evaluate the assets of the growth, if possible, she wanted to find a new in-law for the growth, and it was best to buy it all at once. The practice of two years has shown that she is not a person who runs a school, and she cannot inherit her father's career, let alone carry it forward. She tried, struggled, struggled, but she failed, and this time, according to the words of the business world, she lost badly.

She has commissioned an agency to find a new partner, and she heard that the Wan siblings have this intention. She doesn't care who the other party is now, as long as she can unload this burden for her, she can't be grateful.

She misses **, misses the old days, she thinks, even if she throws all her growth in Jiangbei and returns to ** with nothing, her father will not blame her.

Wu Xiaoxiao's tears once again flowed uncontrollably.

Another hour later, there was a soft knock on the door outside. Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, walked over and opened the door, she thought it was a nanny, since she was taken away by the investigation team, the nanny was on vacation, and yesterday she called and asked her to come over later today. When I opened the door, I saw that it was a silver-haired vice principal.

This vice principal is his father's best friend, his father was with him on the first day he arrived in Jiangbei, and over the years, for his father and growing up, he really worked hard and had no regrets. Unexpectedly, the investigation team turned their suspicious eyes on him.

Wu Xiaoxiao felt deeply sorry for him, sorry for him-

"Come in, old headmaster."

The old headmaster stood outside the door, his lips trembling, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. After being cramped for a long time, he sighed heavily, took out a few pages from his bag, handed them to her, turned around, and walked quickly downstairs.

Wu Xiaoxiao shouted, the old principal was afraid that she would chase her out and keep her, and the steps downstairs were faster than the young people.

Wu Xiaoxiao was confused, and after the footsteps of the old principal disappeared, she suddenly remembered that there were still a few pages in her hand, and when she opened it, she was dumbfounded.

What the old principal handed over was a resignation!

After the old principal, five more teachers submitted their resignations, and although it was still on summer vacation, the news still alarmed the top management. Li Ximin was the first to sit still and ran to find Wu Xiaoxiao. Wu Xiaoxiao seemed very calm, compared with a few months ago, she was much more sophisticated, and she would never become restless about a trivial matter again. Faced with a few questions asked by Li Ximin in a row, she smiled indifferently and said in a frustrated tone: "Director Li, you really shouldn't ask me these questions, I am also confused." As he spoke, he reached out and brushed his hair.

Li Ximin found that Wu Xiaoxiao's hairstyle had changed, and compared with when she first arrived in Jiangbei, her hairstyle became more and more conservative and less individual. Does this also mean that more than two years of training have really smoothed out her heart?

"Principal Wu, don't be discouraged, it's not terrible if something goes wrong, we'll try our best to solve it."

"Resolved?" Wu Xiaoxiao smiled desolately, "Okay, the problems are all here, and you Director Li will solve them." As she spoke, Wu Xiaoxiao raised her hand, and the secretary who had just been hired brought a large stack of materials, all of which were written by the faculty and staff these days. There are those who urge the implementation of wages and benefits, those who urge the implementation of housing, and those who ask about the evaluation of professional titles, of course, the most concentrated reflection is where to go to class next semester, and the school can't be moved to the square, right?

Li Ximin casually flipped a few pages, these questions didn't need to be turned, they were all in his mind, and he sneered: "It's all old problems, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent as the director of the department, and I haven't been able to do a good job." ”

"Don't, Director Li, I can't afford to say this, it's because I'm incompetent, my father originally expected me to be able to carry it, but who knew that it was only two years, and I even lost the base camp. Well, now that I'm throwing in the towel, I can't carry it anymore, because the outcome is the same if you win or lose. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Ximin asked in astonishment.

"At the end of the song, people are gone." Wu Xiaoxiao dropped four words, got up and came to the bookshelf, originally wanted to get a chess game, thought about it, didn't take it, turned around and walked to the inner room, for a long time, came out of it, and there were many things in his hand.

When Li Ximin saw it, he was almost so shocked that he cried out. What Wu Xiaoxiao was holding in her hand was actually a piece of pottery, and at a glance, it was exactly the same as the one he gave to Sheng An.

"Why, the director is also interested in pottery?"

"No, no, I don't know anything about it." Li Ximin hurriedly denied it.

"I'm going back to ** soon, this was given by a friend when I came, if the director doesn't dislike it, I'll give it to you as a gift today."

"It's too precious to take it." Li Ximin was a little flustered, for fear that Wu Xiaoxiao would really give him this pottery. His mind was spinning rapidly, Wu Xiaoxiao took out this pottery, what was the purpose?

"Precious? It seems that Director Li really doesn't know about pottery, it's not valuable, it's imitation, but it's real, and when it comes to the market, it may be treated as a genuine product. ”

Li Ximin's face was changing dramatically, one moment white, another red, and fine beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead. No one knew that the pottery he gave to Sheng Anzhen was also given to him by someone else, and he didn't know where it came from, whether it was real or fake, and whether it was worth anything. I kept it in the office and never touched it again. Sheng An still came to Jinjiang with the research team, one night he went to visit, thought how to bring a gift, originally wanted to take a calligraphy and painting, when he thought of Kong Qingyun, he hurriedly pressed this idea back, and then picked a few things, all felt inappropriate, thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Sheng An still loves pottery, or half a collector, did not hesitate to bring it. Who knew that not long after it was sent, I heard that there was a pottery case on the Chunjiang side, and two lives were involved. In the past two months, when he thinks of pottery, or when he hears others mention pottery, he is nervous and sweats, for fear that the pottery will come from the Chunjiang River, from that construction site, and if this is the case, he will jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it.

The person who gave him pottery was none other than Feng Peiming's son's partner in **, an antique dealer named Azhu, known as the "Four Bosses".

"Don't talk about pottery, don't talk about pottery, Principal Wu, you just said that you want to go back, it won't be true, right?" Li Ximin suddenly became a little worried, as for what he was worried about, he couldn't say, but this feeling was very strong.

"Thank you for your concern, the company over there is going to be reorganized, and I can't help but go." Wu Xiaoxiao didn't tell a lie, ** Wu's enterprise really wants to be reorganized, she has received a letter from the board of directors, and she will leave the day after tomorrow.

Li Ximin suddenly thought of a question, Wu Xiaoxiao would not be gone forever, otherwise, how could she be indifferent to the resignation of faculty and staff one after another?

Li Ximin didn't dare to stay in Wu Xiaoxiao's office for longer, if Wu Xiaoxiao really went and never returned, the consequences would be unimaginable. Don't look at Wu Xiaoxiao's loss of tens of millions, but what she will leave to the Provincial Department of Education will be thousands of students. Where are these students going, and how do they explain themselves to society? This is a university, not a kindergarten, and it can be dissolved if it is dissolved. What's more, even if Wu Xiaoxiao doesn't return to the mainland, she can still file a lawsuit in **, the money owed to her by the business school, and the losses caused by the breach of contract, she can't run away with a single point.

Gao, compared to all the efforts she has made in the past two years, this move is high!
