On the campus of Drinking Water No. 2 Middle School, the leaves on the trees on both sides of the road have long been completely peeled off by the autumn wind, leaving only the tall tree trunks, which are swaying back and forth when the wind blows, looking lifeless. In the past few days, it has rained for several days, the air has suddenly become cold, and the land in the north has unconsciously entered the early winter.

In the large office of the Academic Affairs Office of Drinking Water No. 2 Middle School, the atmosphere at this time was diametrically opposed to the weather outside, full of laughter. Li Jie is leading several grade leaders and several class teachers of the first grade to be busy in the office, and they are sorting out the results of the first grade in the county.

The county education bureau has just organized a random examination for several key high schools in the county, and the results of the second middle school are generally good. Especially in the first year of high school, some classes even surpassed the results of the county's best high school, No. 1 Middle School. This is very rare in the second middle school, so this time the school decided to reward the teachers with outstanding results this time, not only to give these teachers a batch of bonuses, but also to entrust the academic affairs office to invite them to have a good meal tonight to show recognition.

Everyone was happily busy, and suddenly the phone on the table rang, Li Jie quickly picked up the phone, it was Principal Xiao calling: "Director Li, come to my office after the meeting, I have good news for you." ″

Half an hour later, Li Jie knocked on the door of the principal's office.

Principal Xiao was very enthusiastic, he asked Li Jie to sit on the sofa in the office, and made a cup of tea and handed it to Li Jie.

"Xiao Li! This period of teaching work is good, thank you for your hard work! Principal Xiao praised Li Jie and sat down on the chair behind the desk.

In fact, this is not only Principal Xiao's kind words, Li Jie's work performance really makes him quite satisfied. Since Li Jie took office, the school's performance in teaching affairs has improved significantly, which can be seen from the results of the students' "monthly examinations" organized by the school every month. Principal Xiao knew that these achievements were inseparable from the efforts of the newly promoted young deputy director Li Jie, which was the difference between the young Li Jie and the soon-to-retire Director Zheng.

"Next week there is a high school leadership training course in the city, and the bureau requires each school to send a vice principal or director of teaching to participate, and you are now actually in charge of the school's teaching affairs, so I especially recommend you to participate. At the end of the training, a training certificate will be issued, which is hardware, a necessary condition for every comrade who holds a regular position, and it is also something that you, the young leaders, will need in the future. Principal Xiao said to Li Jie with a gentle face.

"Thank you, Principal Xiao, please rest assured, I will definitely work harder! Li Jie is very grateful for the care of the leaders. From Principal Xiao's words, he could already hear that when Director Zheng retired, he would be the next director of academic affairs in No. 2 Middle School.

Out of the principal's office, Li Jie felt an unconcealable joy in his heart. In this paragraph, Principal Xiao often praises the teaching work well at some work meetings of the school, and Li Jie knows that in fact, this is also praising himself and improving his prestige, perhaps in order to prepare for his future succession of Director Zheng. This time, the intention of sending himself to participate in the training class was also obvious, and what made Li Jie even happier was that it could be seen from various signs in recent times that he had begun to gradually become the confidant of President Xiao.......

That night, Li Jie led the three grade leaders and the award-winning class teachers to a restaurant in good condition in the county town of Drinking Water.

Director Zheng did not attend this banquet today, on the pretext that he was old and did not dare to drink because he was not in good health. I want to get off work and go back early to rest. In fact, this is only one aspect, and there is another reason, that is, although he has achieved good results in the second middle school of the random examination, it has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it made him feel disgraced, because in the years he led the Academic Affairs Office, the school's grades have not been very good.

In Director Zheng's absence, Li Jie became the top leader on the scene, and everyone respectfully gave Li Jie to the middle position (leadership position), showing due respect for the leader.

At the banquet, several grade leaders took the lead in toasting Li Jie, and at the same time praised Li Jie, saying that Director Li had a good leadership that led the school to achieve good results this time. Even the two head teachers who turned out to be sworn friends with Director Zheng for many years were full of flattery. Although Li Jie is very polite and shows the modesty and low-key of a young leader, he actually enjoys this feeling in his heart. This made him feel a great sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, he felt that his prestige among the masses had been greatly enhanced. Especially when each new dish is served, everyone will not move the chopsticks first, but let Director Li Jie, who is sitting in the middle, taste it first, and then everyone will eat, which greatly satisfies Li Jie's vanity .......

At this time, Zhou Liqi was lying on the bed in the bedroom, and she was confiding in her sweetheart on the phone about the pain ...... missing. She knew that Li Jie would definitely come back late today, so she pulled out Song Jianye's mobile phone .......

Although Song Jianye was always worried about Zhou Liqi, he never took the initiative to call Zhou Liqi, this was the first time they had a tryst in the suburban car. He knows that Zhou Liqi is not a free person, and the two must be cautious and careful in their dating. Zhou Liqi is even more cautious everywhere, she knows that once this kind of thing is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable.......

When Li Jie went home, it was already late, and Zhou Liqi had not slept (in fact, Zhou Liqi hung up the phone when he heard Li Jie open the door). Li Jie was in high spirits today, drank a lot of wine, and did not feel sleepy, he first told Zhou Liqi about President Xiao's conversation with him in the morning, and then began to talk to his wife about his "great" vision for the future.

And Zhou Liqi just listened carefully to the first half of what Li Jie said, that is, what Principal Xiao and Li Jie talked about asking him to go to the city to participate in leadership training next week. As for the latter words, she didn't hear them at all, and these were not what interested her.

Zhou Liqi's thoughts had already flown away. Her mind was thinking about another person, thinking about another thing. Li Jie is still talking about .......
