When he heard Lao Zhao use the principal's position at Jingnan as a condition, Wang Zheng scratched his head, looking quite simple and honest.
"Minister, you can't fool me. I already know about this."
The presidents of Modern Awakened Universities are all nominated from within the university itself, not appointed by the state. Given my prestige within Nanjing University, Old Chu couldn't find anyone else besides me.”
Seeing Wang Zheng's confidence, Zhao Yucai was first taken aback, then looked at him as if he were a fool, and said calmly:
"This is the first time I've heard of this. By the way, you don't really think that the Ministry of Education doesn't need to be involved in the reshuffling of the president of the Awakened University, do you?"
While it's true that university presidents are appointed through their own recommendations, you wouldn't think you're president just because you moved offices at Nanjing University, would you?
Wang Zheng: What??
There's such a thing? Old Chu has never mentioned it before!
Seeing Wang Zheng's surprised expression, Zhao Yucai remained calm and waved his hand dismissively.
"After all, the hundreds of billions of yuan in education funds that Nanjing University receives every year will pass through my hands. You don't think I would not have the power to veto personnel appointments at any university, do you?"
While Young Master Wang was still in surprise, Minister Zhao didn't stop there, continuing to add:
"Since we've already laid it all out, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Whatever your motives, if you really want to make a name for yourself at Nanjing University, then come and stay at the Ministry of Education for three years.
Anyway, I see that Principal Chu's recovery is getting better and better, and it's no problem for him to last for several years.
You might not even have fully recovered by the time he's fully recovered, and you still won't have transcended the mortal realm.
Don't think that transcending the mortal realm is just a simple matter of improving one's attributes. The tempering of one's character during this process can take some people a lifetime.
Besides, it wouldn't be right to parachute in someone without producing any results; it wouldn't be convincing.
Do you really think you can become a principal just by restarting the back mountain ecological park and winning a few championships?
Do you understand how a university operates, how it recruits students, and how it improves teaching quality?
Faced with Zhao Yucai's series of questions, Wang Zheng felt that the old man was just fooling him.
'If I knew everything, what would be the point of Nanjing University having so many teachers? Besides, does Old Chu even know all of these things you're talking about?'
It wasn't that Wang Zheng looked down on Lao Chu. In his early years, Lao Chu often wandered around in other places and basically didn't care about anything inside the school. The reason why Wang Zheng was determined to take over the old man's job was because he really liked that freedom.
If we come full circle now, wouldn't that just put ourselves in shackles again?
Besides, staying in the office isn't what Young Master Wang is after.
Seemingly seeing through Wang Zheng's thoughts, Zhao Yucai tapped the table impatiently in response to Wang Zheng's embarrassed expression.
"I'm not going to play dumb with you anymore. I'll give you another year. When you start your junior year, you can apply for internships. At that time, I will transfer your file over."
Don't think that the Ministry of Education only offers clerical work. You can put your mind at ease. I'm afraid you won't want to leave once you've arrived.
Once you've been here for three years, if you still want to go back to Nanjing University, I'll send you back. If you're willing to stay and train with me for a few years, it's not impossible for you to take over my position.
Managing one school is quite different from managing all the schools in the country. How about it, do you want to give it a try? I have high hopes for you!
Faced with this bigwig's earnest advice, Wang Zheng knew the bitterness in his heart.
He has some self-awareness; he's supposed to be the Minister of Education? He's not cut out for that.
The reason I plan to stay in southern Beijing after graduation is twofold: firstly, I don't want to get involved in the mess in the capital, and secondly, I want to be able to be a hands-off manager at Nanjing University.
At this point, Old Zhao wants him to shoulder such a heavy burden; isn't that a joke?
Besides, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, is still a public institution, no matter how you look at it.
Although Wang Zheng knew that many outstanding students from various universities would be recruited in advance after graduation.
He knew that the Ministry of Education seemed to have a mobile force under its jurisdiction, but no matter how good the benefits were here, it couldn't compare to the carefree life he had in southern Beijing...
...
On his way back to the hotel, Wang Zheng was filled with mixed emotions and couldn't calm down for a long time.
He kept thinking about the advice Zhao Yucai had just given him.
Wang Zheng originally thought that Old Zhao would ask him about the matter of transformation, but he didn't expect that the old man really just wanted to recruit him.
Not only did he not mention the matter of succession, but he also expressed his idea of having him take over the Ministry of Education.
"No, I have to find a chance to scan Lao Zhao's data next time, no matter what."
Being around him always makes me feel like he can see right through me, no matter what I'm thinking. That won't do. I need to find out more about him...
Unlike Wang Zheng, who was frowning, Chu Tianxing was extremely excited.
Thinking of the future glory of Nanjing University, he could hardly contain his excitement and felt boundless ambition. He planned to go back and work hard to lead Nanjing University onto a completely new path.
Seeing the old man so full of energy, Wang Zheng sighed helplessly.
"Laugh, laugh, still laughing here? You're so happy now, but do you know you're about to lose me? Once I'm taken away, let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"
Wang Zheng was cursing and swearing, but he was even more annoyed inside.
He now feels that the more he interacts with these big shots, the heavier his responsibilities become.
But he just wanted to be an ordinary nobody, living a quiet and peaceful life in a secluded corner. Why did everyone have such high expectations of him?
Those who are family know their own situation. Given his lazy nature, if you insist on making him, Young Master Wang, fight on the front lines, he might as well go and show off a few moves.
If you asked him to revitalize a school, he could come up with some unorthodox ideas to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, thus laying a solid foundation.
But to actually put him in charge of a country's education? That's a joke! What qualifications does Young Master Wang have?
